In presenting to your Honorable Court, tiie irand jury, and cii;7. 'n3of Somerset ( V.unty tL:,the 4:; i Annual Report of the JIauie f-r the l'oor, it is w ith feelings of gratitude to "Him w ho doetts all things well," for thepeaoe and prosperity of the Hoir.e, and the fact that neither caiau.itinany frui or contagious dis eases were visited t:,Kn the inmates. We are mindful of the important duties weoetothe public and a!echared with the jif rniancc of a h'.fh public funct ion ar.d Unl. We are also mindful that these duties are to be performed to the irjU-rest.s of the public, economically, but t.ot p3.-ii:iKiiu3u.s!y, faithfully and pru iet,!!y, but not forgetful oftl e purines fir which the system we represent was created. Our chief care is towards the unfortu nates cc!.:rf:t!ed to oar charge. It shonbl le dune, not t'ruJging'y, but cheerfully and liberally. CVrtainly all humane and lisht-minde-J men want the poor of our o:uiuunity w ell taken care of and above all humanly treated. Toverty which brir.ps t the Ioor Hotirfe, is sometimes the result of crime and ill-fjient life. It is al cays a misfortune, and whilj the fubjecU themselves are fcometimes to be blamed, they are jiias to be pitied. The aged, the eick, the iinliecile, the helpless whatever the cause of their con dition, should be humanly cared for, this can oiily be done by the selection of pio;r persons to have charge of them; not only skillful and thrifty managers jisid gml farmers, bat also men and w o wn of gent !e manners and kindly hearts. During the past year, being Columbia year all the nations of the earth were gath ered on our hospitable shores, and the glories that blaze! around our free insti tutions elicited the applause, admiration and wonder of the civilized world, and wi!! be recorded in history as one of the notable anniversaries and events the world has ever w itnessed. We are proud of our institutions and blast of the great and grand provisions of our laws fur all classes and conditions of men, we love our free institutions for their inesti n.able value, and for the rich fruits of liberty, security and prosperity which they dispense over the whole country ; we love them yet more for the glorious men who moulded them into Etri ngta and beauty and through many years of bard fought battles in field and Senate, exerted ever v nerve of bod? and all of the energies of the;r great minds, at the expense of ease and fortune and at the peril of their lives to sustain and defend them. As we venerate those men on ac count of their rich inheritance they have transmitted to us, so we venerate the in heritance more highly on account of the illustrious donors. Their wisdom, elo quence and virtue, still survive them and prove a rich legacy to their posterity. The people of our county feel proud of t':ie provisions that have been made for the poor and take a great interest in the welfareof the Home. Hut while we be lieve tbat a large majority of the citizens of thvj county uphold and approve the lobun of the directors in the management .fthe Home and care of the poor, there is in the minds of some a suspicion felt towards the management of this instiiu tijn. The extent of their walls and the mysteries they held in the common im agination, the sensational and extrava giut stories, scandals and falsehoods, w hich disappointed applicants fur posi tion ar j discharged inmates are so apt to utter, are often taken up an J repeat ed by loo anxious persons who are ready and willing to stir up strife without as certaining or stopping to inquire of the truth of the same. We are aw are that the management n col altogether perfect, but have striven in the exercise of our best judgment to do the beet for those in our charge and the management of the Home and in the performance of our duties. We return our thanks to the citizens who have visited the Home and encour aged ns by their counsel and advice in cur labors ; and we take this opportuni ty lo invite all persons interested in the welfare of the Home to visit it and make fcuch suggestions that would be for the common benefit of all, and earnestly hope that this report may be accepted witb ti e same generous feeling that oar for mer r ports Lave received. lillLMVi.S. Never in the Lktory of the House of Kir.ploymect of Somerset County have the buildings and premises presented as Cne an appearance as they do at present, and we believe the main building, which was built 3.1 years ago, is in better condi tion and repair lt.au it was six months afier its erection. The new insane build ing is a comfort to those confined there in and reflects credit oa those who had the Eame erected and to the County. The iarge frame w hite baiiding, occupied by tuaL, is in good repair although never suitable for the purpose for which it was built, and although built only ten years ago, it will 6oon Lave to be re placed by another, and it is hoped that when this is done it will be a building more permanent, substantial and suita ble. All cftheoctbuildings are in good order, convenient, permanent and cred itable, Tit.il. The farm is fast becoming the model farm of the County ; it is in a fine state of cultivation and produces well, and w evidenced by the overflowing bara and graneries. A statement of the products raised and produced is hereto appended and certified by the Steward. STOCK. The stock on the farm is in fine condi tion. During the year a tine horse was purchased, w hich enabled us to turn out three teams, w hich with farm of o4l acres, is required in order to cultivate it it should oe. Some of the cows, horn ed cattle and sheep have been on the farm for year, and it has been thought wise to change the same, w hich wul be done shortly. All the beef, pork, and lard necessary for consumption for the w inter Las been raised, and most of the butter and milk that was consumed at the Home during the year. IMPROVEMENTS. The improvement made during the rear are looked upon by the public as needed, wise, and a judicious expendi ture of money. The steam better placed in the Home is a comfort that can not be estimated or appreciated except by a visit to the Home. All of the buildings are heated by it. ELECTRIC U'iUT. Much has been said in regard to plac ing electric light in the baiiding and some criticism has been made as to the wisdom of so doing. Xo one can appre ciate the great blessing to the poor "d unfortunate ones at the Toor House the electric light affords who has not been there. Go and inquire of the inmates, and they will tell you "take away all other comforts, reduce the portion of food given os, but let us have the light." The ctt of the light is but three cents to each of the taxables of the county to maintain it. The fact alone-the terror of tire from lamps and fear of burning from stoves-have been entirely remoeu ought to be consideration enough fur all progressive and fair-mined citizen to heartily approve this measure. The 'irand Jury on their visitation having endorsed and commended the Directors on the exercise of their good judgment and west heartily approved the same. THE WELL. The drilled well and the air motor erected furnished all the water needed and used in the buildings and on the farm for ail purposes. This has been the first w inter for many years that the water used on the farm had not to be hauled and the stock driven away for water. We have placed new bath tubs and w ater closets in the maid building with Lot and cold water connection which were ordered and directed by the Grand Jury and Board of Tublic Charities these im provements re ail badly needea, are ro-rmane nt and are ereatly appreciated by the inmates and all of the public fho have examined thera. The improve ments made the past few years were neces-ary and Lad to be made, which has increased the expense of maintain- ir' the home; but now that they are made a'.i will feel proud of taeni ana hereifter the expense will be materially ree' need. 1SMATIS. There w as an average of 82 inmaies in the Home during the year ; they were all housed, clothed, fed and cared for, and .11 seem grateful to the citizens of the county for the provisions the law made for them. There were 9 deaths at the Home dur in- the vear. all of whom "comethto ---a their grave in full age, like as a 6hoek of corn cometh iu Lis season." KEI.H.Iofr SEUVIeES. Religious services were held once each month by Ilev.F. P. Savior, who, also, oihciated at each fuueraL While these sei vices were greatly appreciated and comforted many in their distress, yet be ing within a gun shot of Somerset, a tow n of churches and missionary societies, standing upm the bill, we have, like tlie man anueariu in a vision to Iaul, "beckoned him loc mie over in Masce donia and help as, but no one cometh." ciiiLit:ss. In n.- vpnt where ch'.lJren were com mitted to the Home, and were sound in body and mind, were they permitted to remain in the Home over the time speci fied by law. Since the organiiation of theChildrens' Aid Society they have been of great service in aiding us to secure good homes for the children, and in the future it is hoped that the entire control e.f them may be placed in their hands, as we recognize women to be the true guar dians of the children, and as the mother w ith :1 her love anil svmpathy is the queen of the household, so are they most nilnrally endowed with those refined sensibilities and culture that peculiarly Gt them for the care and management of the hnmele-ss. abandoned and uoor chil dren, and in the work iu which they are engaged. an IXIOR RELIEF. The usual tmount of out door relief was issued and a the winter advances with money and labor more scarce the demand for relief is greater we w ill be compelled to grant the relief needed. This has alwavs been one of the trouble some questions be-fore the Directors, and w hue we are wilung to aid all w ho need relief there are times that relief is granted that it is not charity to give. INSANE. AH of the insane that have been com nii'tedto the Directors care have Iieen examined and where it was found that they could be benefited, they were re moved to the hospital for treatment, and we are rejoiced to know that four out of the number sent to D.xaiunt Hospital during the year have been restored to their reason and returned to their homes and friends. Truly this class of persons should have our greatest care and sym pathy. In closing this our report, we, the Di rectors holding over, desire to express our thanks in behalf of Mr. William Dickey, the retiring Director, for his faith ful and conscientious services rendered. He was always interested in the welfare of the Home, honest, capable, and whose only desire was to advance its inUresls. Much credit isalsodr.e to the Stewar J and the efScient Matron for their untir ing energy and labors to keep the same up to the standard it has achieved, and caring for and looking after the comfort of the inmates.

In 1S7G the Association of the Direct ore of the Poor was organized and has met annually since in someplace desig' nateJ by the Association. It is composed of representatives of all the charitable institutions of tbe State, including the Ebard of Public Charities, Board of Lana cy and Children' Aid Society. The ob ject of the Association is the investigating and considering all questions concerning pauperism and dependency, to devise means for the prevention of the same, to suggest legislation, to establish person al acquaintance bet wee u the Directors of the Poor of the several districts, Board of Public Charities, Committee on Lunacy, and compare the different systems of management Tbe good that this Asso ciation has accomplished can not be t sti mated. The entire Poor Housa manage' ment throughout the State has been very much improved and advanced, and much ii not all of this can be attributed to the meetings and friendly comparisons be tween the various olliclals thronghont the State, besides it has been the-meana of securing legislation which other ise could n jt be attained. The act prohibit ing the deteutiou of children in poor houses over two years of age was an ad vanced step taken by the legislature. Legislation secured reducing the main tenance and treatment of patients in tbe State Hospitals from $3 50 to $i.7o per week was measuie that effects all coun ties. Ibntead of keeping fiom fifty to sixty children at the Poor House, educa ting them to be paupers and dependents at a great expense they are placed out in good homes, receives liberal education, and many cf a bom make good and use ful members of society. Instead of keep ing tbe insane at the Poor House some bonnd in chains and confined to dark and dreary cells aa was tbe case at our IIoBie but a few years ao tliejr are re moved to hospitals where they have the benefit of the hospitable care and treat ment. Many other (rood and wholesome laws were enacted; all of which have been the direct result of woik done by the Association. The e fleet has been far reaching and satisfactory. Tbe reduction in expenses to the poor districts has been more each year than has been incurred from holding all the meetings of the As sociation. We have been greatly bene fited by this Association and it has been the means of enabling us to perform our duties with more economy and with let ter satisfaction both to the unfortunate poor and to the County. "Iu much counsel their is wisdom," and we see the truth of this in holding of our Teachers' and Farmers' Institutes and other simi lar associations which are productive of great good. 23 February, 1S04, filed.

Say It Is Rainier, and f.ach City Stubborn'. r .iVtrm to IU Owu i';.fi.oa. In the controversy over the name of this mountain all the rivalry between Tacoina and Seattle finds expression. says a writer in Harper's Weekly. I know of one Taeoroa man who refused to bo introduced to a person whom he had been most anxious to meet because he happened to overhear the latter re fer to Mount Rainier. In Seattle many subscribers were once obtained to an eastern magazine in which an article oa their city was to appear. It was published and was as laudatory of them as the most captions r-cauieite could desire, but not a copy was wild in tbe city, nor would a subscriber allow a copy to enter his house, because by an unpardonable oversight the writer had called the disputed mountain Tacoma." In the Seattle stationery shops they kcfp slips of paper with "Mount Kainier neatly printed on them for pasting1 over the "Mount Tacoma" that sometimes appears on maps thev are oldid to sell. They also carefully erase the words "Mount Tacoina" from all souvenir photo graphs bearing it that come into their possession, and substitute "Mount Kainie-r"' before sedlin? them. No doubt these same thing's ere done in Tacoma, only in reversed order. The Tr.'."r.i man will explain with conviucin earn estness that Ta-ko-mah was the abor iginal name of the mountain for cen turies before the white settlement of the country; that It is cot only euphon ious but beautifully poetical in its meaning "the breast that nourishes." "Surely," he will say, "a most appro priate name, for a mountain whose glacial streams perpetually nourish the plains at its feet And who was this Kaiuler. anyhow? An Englishman who not only never saw this ceiuntry, but was inimical to it and its institu tions." Wlien you repeat this to your friend in Seattle ho will assume a fine ex pression of mingled scorn and pity for your credulity av.d exclaim: "That's all bo.-h! Tacoma doesn't mean any thing of the kind. The word simply means mountain and nothing more. As for the name Rainier, it was given by Vancouver, the first white man who ever saw the memntain and who cer tainly earned the rig'ht to name what he discovered. It appe'ars on his charts of this region, and as all his nomen clature has been adopted by the United Statescoast surve-y, there is no reason why an exception should bu made in this case. This silly row about nothing is all poppycock, any how. I, for cne, am tired of it and wish those fellows over there would drop it. Painier it is and Rainier it will be fer all time, even if we have to Co up and chisel the name on the mountain bide in letters a thousand feet long." So for him who would maintain friendK" relations with both camps it is well to remember that "Tacoma" Ls the countersign in Ta ecma and "Rainier" in Seattle, while on neutral ground the subject of con tention should be spoken of as "t!ia mountain," "the beautiful mountain," "the disputed mountain" or "the Fuzi hama of America." It has been su pested that the question might be set tled by compromise anel popular vote, by submitting the combinations "Ta conier" and "Ralcoma" to the people of the two cities cud calling for an ex pression of preference from every man, woman and schoolchild in them. Out siders are apparently quite willing1, for the s-'ihe of peace, to call ths moun tain by any natno approved by the cities. By this moans a controversy tt which no other end seems passible rahrht happily be concluded. Mad Heeau'e II Watn't Drovrud. While fishing on the bank of Stony creek, in Nornstown, la., Johnnie Johnson, a lad of twelve years, tum bled in the water, and sank beneath the surface. Other boys saw him dis appear, and they scampered away for Id. Johnnie struggled until he reached drv land and then teok to his heels. Half an hour later he stood on the bridge, watching a crowd of men rak ing the) water of the creek with grap pling hooks.

A brisk controversy has been going ."n about cigarette-smoking women in the columns of tho North American Review and other periodicals and those who broke lances for and against were women. Mrs. I.ynn l.yiibm, whose novels are read here as feiiiUe tons so extensively and with so much gusto, is quoted as leading the assault against the lady smokers. Is it true that she calls the cigarette when in a lady's mouth the emblem of revolt? If so, she is not up to date, so far us continental practices go. Tbe cigar ette has not yet found its way with after-dinner colTee into the official drawing-room, but it soon will At all the bouses setting up to style it is served at intimate dejeuners and small but lively dinners. Nobody is shocked at ladies smoking not merely one-cigarette apiece but two or three. A ministerof uee n Christina says that highly respectable and respec ted royal lady Lsnn invetcrateaiida vet eran smoker. She got in the habit of smoking a cigarette whi n she was ab bess of the Hnidschiu, a sinecure slu lost on retting married. Her ous:n. Archduchess Mathilde, who was en gaged to King Humbert when he was prince of Savey, lost her life owing to her fondness for cigarettes. She was forbidden by her father. Archduke Albert, to smoke, but none the less went on doing so. One summer's day, orevening.as she was standing smoking on the balcony bhe saw him enter tha courtyard on which she was looking down. The archduchess, who was wearing a muslin dress, whipped the cigarette out of her meuth and hid it behind her back. It came in contact with the muslin, and she was in a mo ment enveloped in thirties, there being a strong draught where she stood- Most of the Russian grand duch esses are smokers, tirana Lucness Wlademir thinks a husband and wifa who smoke are less likely to fall out than if the former alone smoked. It is not known whether the queen of Italy smokes, but some of her ladies cer tainly do. WhcnJ was at Stresa I saw them enjoying cigarettes wlien boating jn the lake, aud in the grounds of the iuchtss of Genoa's villa, where the queen was staying. The crown prin cess of Saxe-Meiuingen could not livo without her cigarette. It neither takes from her goexl looks, nor spoils her teeth, nor diminishes her activity. She is nearly thirty-four, but appears se-areely twenty-six. The Infanta Eulalia t-poke when she was last on the Riviera oi the coratesse de I'aris as having set her an example as a smoker. As the French say, the infanta a beau- aiap d'imagination, and saw in the cigarette or cigar of the comtesse a pipe which she believed that royal lady smoked in the stre-ets of Seville. Span ish ladies are gratuitously credited or discredited with being great smokers. Iliey may do so in Cuba, though they are there more conservative and greater ticklers for the proprieties than at Madrid. Tlie ladies who best patronize tobacconists ore. next to the Kalmucks, the Russians. The ruling passions of Kalmuck women are rib!ns to twist round their long tresses, tea. tobae-co, and bright handkerchiefs. But if they have to choose between tobacco cr.d tea their option is for the former. When a little Kalmuck comes into the world an ev-nt that happens rarely twice in the same menage, the mamma is given a well-tilled pipe to smoke before she nurses tho baby. The little one takes to smoking before it is weaned. The pipe is the great cure for nervous headache. Fredens birg. where the czar and czarina snm mer, i3 the dullest place in the world. The queen of Denmark is exacting of respect for the proprieties. The last charge that anyone could think of bringing against her court is that of fast behavior. Vet most of the young and youngish ladies there ere smokers. There is no better way of showing oil pretty hands and rings than toying with a cltfarette. A court party from Fredensborg one evening was ilining at the Copenhagen Trivoii in tho col onnade of the restaurant There was a large thrtatrieal party near them; the actresses did not smoke, but Jhe ladies in attendance and those whom thev attended did. Some of the fair smokers were Russians, and not in the least inclined to nnfurl the flag of re volt That evening it was learned that the crown princess of Saxe-.Mein- ingen is not the only granddaughter of Queen Vietoria who finds a solace in tl; cigarette. Why should not a princess use it as an old Irish woman uses the pipe to take the edge oiT ner vousness? The only harm is in tho abuse. But there is no good thin under the sun that is not mischievous if taken iu excess. There is no more harm in mild smoking than in mild tea drinking.

A Be-rlin letter says: There Is, of course, nothing that Bmperor Wi'tliaw cannot do. He knows everything, and can give the most learned a gexxl start and an easy beating in all branches of art, literature, music, soldiering, or. in fact, any other matter that mortal man knows anything about The mil itary band of the Foot guards, which is about one of the best in Europe, was playing a march iu the court-yard of the Sehlos.1 a few days Etro, but tho time did not suit William. Ho thought ho knew more about it than the con ductor, so ho straightway emerged from tho palace, stopped the music and, taking tho bat-m from tho bund master's hand, conduct: 1 t:t3 pieea himself to his beating. The musicians were in a stats of terror, but ho warmed them up to a galop time, and when he had tlnishcd returned the ba ton to the conductor with the remark: "Next time you play that march play it properly. I have given you the cor rect time. Now dismiss the band, go to the barracks and play nothing else for a week." This order was religious ly carried into effect and for a whole week the guards knew no other melody but that eccentric march, which no man could keep step to. Another matter which has upset William's equilibrium is the fact that the people s'are at him in church. He doesn't like it, and has now ordered that whenever he attends divine serv ice all seat.; of which ho can see the pccupar.t. or front which he can be seen, ahull be filled by soldiers, so that he may neit be disturbed In his prayers. "The soldiers are compelled to l'.xk straight before thctn. and any devia tion of the head froia the "eyes front" is punished by confinement to barracks and heavy pack drill.
