Director of the Poor.
In submitting tiiis our annual ri-jxirt
of the ln-twe of Employment of Som
erset County we are reminded of this
Mgnilicaut fact: In April of the
jtrcscnt year, we will vlebmte the one
iiuudrcdth anniversary or centennial
f the constituting and establishing
f Somerset County. In April, we also
-aa wldjrate the fiftieth anniversary
'r bi-t'eiiteiiuial of theestal lishing ami
constituting of the Hou.-' of Employ
ment of Somerset County.
Our county we all have reason ule
proud of. She ranks fifth in number
sis to territory, uud first among the
tuntin of the siate tt to the produc
tion of eminent men. Her wealth is
1: tit old and undeveloped, but it remains
a fact that almost her entire surfaeeis
underlaid with coal and rich dexn-iU
of ail other minerals.
Her grand old mountains, lofty
IH-aks, iH-autiful valleys, wide spread
ing table lands, and fertile glades, give
Jar sujfior and greater advantage
over many of the counties of the state.
Her citizens, mostly deMvndeiits from
the original Pennsylvania Dutch, they
arc industrious, intelligent, thrifty,
christian and patriotic. No lace in
ilie world do tiie eople live In-tU'raud
Joiigi-r, enjoy life more, and at the same
lime have a higher regard to the duties
they owe to their tJod and fellow man
than in onr grand old County of Som
erset. At the first call for troojw, when the
nation was in eril, company after
company volunteered and were march
ed to the front ; many f them having
I lid down their life in defense of their
country, while sx-ores of others ret urn vd
tua'mi.tl and wounded, telling more
eloquently tlian words the struggles
and hardships they endured.
While we rejoice over the extent of
our territory, the wealth of our county,
the jK-ai-e, thrift, iiitelligeiiep and con
tentment of our citizens, and the pros
!Tityof our -.ui:ty, yet there is one
tiling alone that her teopiu khould U'
proud of more than any other, and that
js the provisions she has made for the
i:r, unfortunate and in-atK. Fifty
v-ars ago, ly Act of Assemby, this
county wan constituted and formal into
n sejHTate l'oor District.
The thousands of jKTsons that have
ecu eared for, and the thousands of
loliars of charity she bus clisjiensed, as
v.-e!l as the homes she has relieved, the
orphan children she has carcil for, the
deaf, dumb and blind she hasi-d'.Hntod,
and hist of ail, the most pitable of all,
thosi- who have lieeti U-reft of their
re:ison, who have been maintained and
treated in hospital, many of whom
v ere restored, is a monument "to our
fflory more enduring than granite e-r
marble, and lasting as time.
Twice the Supreme Court has ren
dered formal decisions that Pennsylva
nia is a Christian Comuiou wealth ; but
iniortaut and authorative an are such
judicial utterances, far more convinc
ing are the sjileiidid evidences of Chris
tian spirit seen in Pennsylvania's no
ble provisions for the ioor and unfortu
nate in life. And when this work is
considered in its character, its spirit,
its magnitude and its far-reaching re
sults, we may well ask, "Is not this,
r.fier, all, the chief, the crowning glory
..t mir I. I. M- I..
I hat the soldier and the enthusiastic I
:
nu'iiiH m iiiitiutijt iiisiiiry witiitvi
pri.L' in the fact, that when in the
dark days of the KeUllion, the fearful
tide of war rolled Northward, it broke
in fury against the hills of Gettysburg,
only to recoil in defeat and shame. He
u ill remind us that on the memorable
fcnd bloody field, with a son of Pennsyl
vania in command, when one of Som
erset County's brave sons fell in the
thickest of the conflict, was fought one
of the most momentous battle of history
as the pivotal battle of that long ami
terrible struggle, on whose i-wiie leing
the fate of this great republic; and in
which struggle, Uyoud the interests of
a single nation, the great cause of hu
man liberty and high concern.
It aecnis glory enough for one state
thai such an achievement was accom
plished within her lKirders, but we re
tuemlMT that the very name of our Com
monwealth ints us lack toil's great
lieartel and noble founder, William
I'enn, wliose just and humane policy
toward the aloriginal inhabitants,
Viio'ii he found in iKtssessioti of the for-
ests and valleys, wits desijrtitHl to avert I
var, an.I by any and every means to
es un i rasa peace.

It IS in accord With the Stunt of pe- 1
Hius, of that magnanimous and heroic '
tsouL the tieaccful and peaee-Iivinz 1

eilin-atiojial cnt-ririses, with their I ie
nifieeiit etTw-ts Uon sm ial and doiiM-s-tielife!
Put higher than all these,
and approaching more truly the ppirit
of her great f.wnder, interpreting more
faithfully the teachings of the divine
Master and fulfilling more nearly the
noble works of charity and christian
U-iievolence, t hief among these areour
places for the care of the poor and in
sane. Therefore, when we come to celebrate
the centennial of our county, let us re
joice together that one of our wise and
human ac ts in early years was to prn
vide for our or.
Nothing has transpired at the Home
out of the ordinary routine. The 1 lome
was not visited by any serious accident,
neither was It visited by any conta
gious disease. During the year new
liath tulis, improved water closets with
cold and hot water, were placed in the
main building; which was an improve
ment long hoped for and badly need.'d,
and is quite a comfort to the aged and
infirm.
The buildings are in good repair and
condition. During the year the old
sitting room for the men, attached to
the end of the White House, will be
torn dow . and replaced with larger and
more moderate ones; the one now in use
licing one of the original buildings on
the farm when first lnuight by the Di
rectors of the Poor. The same having
leen condemed by the lioard of Public
Charities, and the building of new
ones recommended by the Grand Jury
at their last visitation.
FARM.
The farm is in an elegant state of cul
tivation ami produces well, reference
to the Steward's report King had will
fully show, as more grain was pro
duced the p:ist year than any previous
year.
PKATHS.
There were eleven deaths in the home
during the year. All of whom, with
but two exceptions, were old ami lived
out their allotted time. Some were
sick for years, had suffered much, and
death was a relief.
KKI,Iitot .S SKKVIfKS.
Itegular religious servurs were held
in the Home oikv each month by El
der Walter, who aho oMUiatcd at a'H
funerals.
During the year there were a great
many visits made the Home by citi
zens of the County, and we were gr.nit
ly pleased at their approval of our man
agement of the same; and we invite all
persons who areintertsted in the Home
to visit it and make such suggi-stioasor
criticisms as will tend to improve or
correct anything for the le tter in the
Pvr House.
The office of Director of the Poor is
one of the most responsible of any In
the County, and should lie an enno
bling one. They have not only the
care and wise exjienditure of money,
but the care of suffering humanity as
well. Their's is a duty of love, and he
who has not that virtue to a great ex
tent dwelling jii his soul cannot satis
factorily discharge the duties incum
bent upon him. They are duties that
should call forth the noblest prompt
ings of the hearL iuch dejH-jcls upon
the t-cjcctioii of a good steward and
matron, in order to secure order and
discipline as well a the yood manage
ment of the Home.
We desire to express our regret in
Mr. J. C. Miller leaving the Home. He
has made an efficient, industrious and
painstaking steward. Much of the
siN-ct ss of the Home L, due him and his
wife for the fine appearance the build
ings present, and the high state of cul
tivation the firm has Itccn brought up
to; and we tike this opportunity of
certifying to the public our apprecia
tion of their ttcrviet-s j steward and
matron of the Home.
We, the Directors holding over, de
sire to say that the thanks of the jui
lic are due to Joseph L. Miller, the re
tiring Director, for the conscientious
m:nncr in which he discharged the
duties of his oilh-e. Much credit is
due to him for the improvement of the
farm and productiveness of same.
We regret his leaving the County,
but hope he may have the confidence
and est"cm of the people of far away
Nebraska as he had of all the people
here.
During the year we have Ik-cii great
ly aided by the Children's Aid S tciety.
This s:ciety is founded to provide for
the welfare of destitute and neglected
children, by such means as shall lie
!et for them, and for the c-mm-iuity.
And it is with pleasure we commend
their work to the cittiens of the coun
ty. They seek to raise the child from a
state of destitution iiid pjujK-rism to
that of self-respect and self-support, and
fit and prepare them for a useful place
in society ; while t'losL- who are feeble
minded, or deaf and dumb and blind,
they place 1:1 iiis;ituUo:is whero they
may be trained for useful employment,
and ed ieated s i they may earn a liveli
hood. The work the Children's Aid So
ciety has liccu doing, is to he commend
ed, and deserves your earnest support.

A Good Testimonial,
(From Haverhill, N. 11 Courier.)
"I have hud for 27 years past a badly
diseased ankle Ikiiic. Dr. Iavld Ken
liisly's Favorite Iteinedy and his Salt
Rheum Cream healed It when all other
medicines had failed, and medical au
thority had Haiti the limb could never
Ik? used again.
"A sore broke out on the ankle bone,
and for 10 months) the aged writer suf
fered day aud night U-yond the power
of words to express. A friend advised
me to try Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Itein
edy. I had no faith that any iinslicine
would help me, but sullen ng as T did
I thought I would try it, anil purchas
ed some, also a Ikx of Dr. Ihivid Ken
nedy's Salt 1 ".Ileum Cream. I used
thi-se medicines but a short time when
my limb la-gall to heal. I will further
add, among the many medicines I have
tried for a diseased liver and kidneys,
none has ever proved so helpful to me
as Favorite Ileniedy. liy stimulating
and strengthening the enfeebled organs,
even the encroachments of advam-ed
age seemed to lie checked by its invig
orating Mvvr.
"I have thoroughly tested its true
worth, and I know whereof I allirni,
hoping all who read this will profit
thereby, as the aged writer has, by
using Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Keniedy,
la-en given very comfortable health for
a tierson "it years of age. Favorite
Remedy is an invaluable medicine for
children as well as adults.
"This testimonial is given from my
own experience of these invaluable
medicines." Mus. Ukuxda Hudson,
Haverhill, X. II.
Xo tribute to the clllcacy of a medi
cine could lie preatcr than these words
of Mrs. Ilodson, who voluntarily tells
the story of her recovery. Thousands
of men and women whose daily life is
making severe draughts on their vital
it y, need Dr. David Kennedy's Favor
ite Remedy. Xone are too old to lie
helped by it. It permanently cures
dyspciisia, rheumatism, kidney, liver
and urinary troubles, and lor the ills
peculiar to women it has no equal.
In the fall of 18b.' a son of Mr. T. A.
McFarland, a pr.::ii:icnt merchant of
Live Oak, Sutler Co., Cal., was taken
with a heavy cold. The pains in his
chi-st were so seven that lit-had spasms
and was threatened with pneumonia.
His father gave him several large doses
of Chanil-crlaiu's Cough Remedy which
broke up the cough and curcil him.
Mr. McFarland says whenever his
children have croup he invariably gives
them Chauiia-rlain's Cough Remedy
and it always cunn them. He consid
ers it the liest cough n-niedy in the
market. For sale by Ik nford's Phar

"It is with pleasure I tell you that hy

One of tbe most sing.ilar aeei.letils
that ever happened on the Pemisv l atiia
Railroad occurred Saturday morning at
Cove Station, lrt mib-s wi-st of ltairisliirg.
A liM-oniotive at full specil, iittai he.l to
tiie Pacific Kxpress, liK-w up, was c :n
pletl y overturned and the mail and "luig
gae cars ileniilc-l. Fireman .lo!i;i II.
Pailley, of Harrislitirg. was kiileil, and the
engineer, John A. l'uak, was seriously
injurei I.

aniniiiis. Their f.axl csuisists mostly of
milk, water and bits of in. 'at, while their
lasts are of eheslnut leaves and dried
grass in a large building. They are
seldom seen during the l:iy, but eomc out
at nightfall mid (ramlsil aUmt the yard.
Ili-ginning with the "kitten, they ran Ik

they are plaivd in a t:j"!it Imx and chl-ro-fortaed.
thus renderiitgtheir fur free from

yield nearly a pint of oil that is said to be
an u:ieUiilted remedy for si i If joints, etc.

The present rc ival of interest in "S'a-
poleon has ls.cn only a lucky eolncidem
for tho t'eutm-y, as X'rotixsor Sluano's his
tory wits projected, and its publii-atioii in j

even in I'ranee, any unusual interest in
the character if lSniuiparte.
Two Valuable Fiicnd3.
1. A physician can not always Ik?
had. Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sprains
Rruises and Hums occur often and
sometimes when least expected. Keep
handy the friend of many households
and the destroyer of all pain, the fa
mous Red Flag Oil, i" cents.
2. Many a precious life could lie
saved that is being racked to death
with that tcrribje c-tei'i. .Secure a
good night's rest by Investing "j cents
for a lsitile of Pan-Tina, the great rem
edy for cough, folds and consumption.
