Jacob McGregor, Attest : William Dull, J. 1. Weinier, Ilatrisou (ohu. Clerk. I )ir's of the Poor. We herewith submit to your Honor filde Court and (iratid Jury the 47th annual report of the House of Employ tueut of Somerset county. Another year has been numbered with the ast; to some it has teen a year of disappoiutmeut and failure, and lo others lull of pleasure and success. How well we have filled the high of fice intrusted to us and what success we have made in the distribution of your charities, you must judge; but whether it meets with approval or not sufficient to-way we have conscientious ly endeavored to faithfully discharge the onerous dutieM of the'ollice as Di rH"tors of the Poor. Charity and the dispensing of it is me of the leading problems of the day. We are so thoroughly the creatures of circumstances and environment that our very thoughts as well as our lives are governed thereby. The person who lias only known a life of ease and lux ury, and has never come in routact with the actual suffering mid distress of the poor, -an not iossibly know llieir needs. Neither can u'!i person agree with the poor in their ideas as to tlie Itest method of ameliorating their condition or eradicating the evils which liave served to produce the existing induions. Chartyisthe impulse of a generous tuind, and w hile the people in general re willing, yea anxious that suitable provisions tie made for the poor, they are not in sympathy with those who labor and give their time and best eu rgies to care for and relieve them for si im re pittance, but are prone to criti cise and even repeat stori.-s that, per--hanoe, have leen spread by an un grateful and detiased and absconded uper. They forget the true meaning f charity, the impulse of a generous snind, w hich thinketh no evil, doeth no evil, but whose heart and hand are len to the care and protection of their fellow-man. We realize the fact that there have tieeu mistakes made in the manage ment ol the home, but we believe the bcioe for the Poor of Somerset county, and the managing of it, will compare favorably wiln any other in the State, with more than a comparatively lew exjietifle. Mv$&frj&'f JL -2L -s Fori JrrvU, X T. the past 14 rear. Mrs. Lorier irag at notnp. with her children, in a pleauaUit cottaire on the main street of the villape. Intrutiuriiig ourselves, we stated the nature of our errand, that we had heard, of a remarkable cure in her familv and that we would esteem it S favor if she would kindly pive tis the fact in the ease. A bright eyed little miss, apparently aliout 13 years of ape, was look ing rather curiously at us s faint smile creeping over her face as the mother point ing to her said : "That is the patient. She does not look like an invalid now, does she? ' Invirine us to lie seated Mrs. Lorier tola us the following story, which, as nearly aa possible, we give in her own words. "Alameda, my daughter, was 13 years vt ace on the 2.rxh of March last auC was taken sick on that day. As nearly M we could tell, the trouble seemed to I soaje inflam mation of the bowels, kidneys and perhaps even more eeneral. At any rate, the case seemed to baffle onr physician eomnletely and the child grew steadily worse. "At the end of 15 days inflammatory rheu matism set in and dropsy also, causing her the most intense suffering. Pbe became very badly bloated. For nearly two months the poor child was landaired in cotton front heaa to foot. We had four physicians and they called a fifth and then held a consulta tion. At the close of this, their conclusion was that the child would never le able to leave her led alive lhat death was only a matter of a few days. T.y this time the glands of her neck had liecome greatly swollen and she coueli-d niirht and day. r-he also became so greatly emaciated that I do not think she would have weighed ) pounds. Her lower limbs seemed partially, nearly wholly, paralyzed she could not use them at all. We had practically given up all hope? the physi cians had" discontinued their visits and we were simply waiting for death. "On the evening of July llth, while watch ing bv her bedside, I decided to irive her a dose of Ir. Williams Pink Pills, as I had recently leen reading of some remarkable cures by this remedy. I gave her a dose ol them at once, but I confess with only a grain of faith in their eflii-acy I had atisolutely no hope of a cure. The next day she w a no worse, if anything a little lietter and I con tinued the Pink Pills, now having some faint hopes. To make a long story short. I continued this wonderful remedy and as you see, the girl is well, apparently aa well aa ever." Vt. Williams' Pink Pilla contain all tr elements ne-essary to give new lire and rich ness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. Thev are sold in boxes (never in loose form, by the dozen or hundred) at 5o cents a tox. or six boxes for $1&K and may lie bad of a' I drug gists or directly by mail from lr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y- We are pleased with the visits made to the home by so many of the citizens who are large taxpayers, and the com ments of approval of the management of the institution. The Home was not visited by any in fectious diseases or scourge of any kind during the year, and U-yond the usual and common ills that this class of de pendents is heir to, the health of the home was good. The thanks of the public are due to Mr. Jacob McfJregor, the retiring di rector, for the faithful and conscien tious manner in which he discharged his duties. Farm The farm is gradually leing brought up to a high state of" cultiva tion and is producing well. A glance ft the Steward's report will convince all of the fact. IJrii.iix(;s The buildings are in good order and repair, and present a line appearance. '1 he past year a slate roof was placed on the main brick building to take the place of a worn out shingle roof, which adds greatly to the appearauce and lessens the danger of fire from adjoining buildings. All the comforts that are usually found in similar institutions are found in our Home and ere enjoyed by the inmates. I xm aths There was a daily averasre of 7- at the home during the year. All were carefully housed, fed "and cared for. Those that are able, do such work as they are able to do. and when it is MsMhle all should and are required to do something in ordVr to teach them that they have an interest in the Home. Dkatiis There were l.'dcalhsat the Home during the year. Most of them were old and had long since passed their allotted lime. A few were brought to the home sick and never ralli-d. All were given a respectable Christian burial. Kki.ikk It being the exerienee of many of those who have devoted their lives to'the work of charity and of tir ing for the unfortunates in life that out-door relief was more of an evil than the good it was designed for, and had a tendency to increase dependents rath er t'.ien assist them, the directors, bv resolution, di.xnutinued the giving of permanent relief, and only in cases of urgent necessity ha-e thev "issued tem porary relief. "The result has leeii that those who received relief hereto fore have Ixt'ii able to live just as well, ami the number of inmates at the home has not liecn materially increaxsl. Cmi i.kkx During'the year there have liecn more children received at the Home than any other for the past live years. Under "the law we are pro hibited from keeping them at the Home, neither do we tielieve they should be kept there. Yes, we think they should not even lie committed to the Poor House. "Kushes do not grow without mire, nor flags without water," and no more are pauper classes reproduced from generation to generation without in fluence acting upon them from child hood and developing them into chron ic paupers. Each individual has certain innate tendencies for good or evil. Mental and moral traits areas certainly heredi tary as physical likeness. The child ofapauer inherits from his parents the mental and physil defects which have made him a public charge. In each succeeding generation these grow stronger, while the characteristics which make the independent citizen grow weaker. Inherited tendencies are stronglv af f"cted by early environment- "The sl-fsj of pauper clings to a child for years after it enters the Poor House. This we have lieen Irving to avoid. T1m Children's Aid Society has lieeno." great help in this matter. Thev have provided a temporary home 'for the keeping of children until a permanent home can lie found in which to place I hem. All children committed to the County Home have been placed in their charge, and some have b:en tak en directly in charge bv the Aid Socie ty before reaching the Poor House. We appreciate the work and services of the Children's Aid, and feel that all should assist and encourage them in their child-saving work. Itev. J. S. Harkey held sen-ices each month at the Home, visited the depart ments of the sick and ministered to their spiritual wants. Keligious ser vices were held at each funeral. A ser vice of song at the Home would be greatly appreciated by all if one or more of the choirs of the churches would volunteer to do It. BCHKltl LE A. -Unlet.

These Greek songs, in which bis love of the ancient Greeks in mingled with his admiration for horoe each as Kanaris, Marcos Bozzaris and ethers who helped to shake off the Turkish yoke, produced a deep iuipr sion all over Germany, perhaps beca .e they breathed the f-pirit of freedom a.- i patriotism, which wits then sjstemat -ally repressed in Germany itself.

Of tho better class of Turks there were none among them. Ther u-ere of a class like the wharf rats and loiigshorerueu of western lands. They were of all shades of coior, from the white skinned Laz and Circassian to the brown and bock nosed Kurd and the coal black Nubian from Africa. Their faces were a 6tody of fearful passions. There were faces seamed and scarred like tbe bend of a fighting bulldog; faces distorted by nialico and greid; faces seared, as by lire, case hardened in ig norance of all except vice and ferocious as an angry tiger. Some cf those faces barued their way into my memory and remained for days, a haunting revela t.on of brntal instincts and beastly de sires wLich mado 01:0 wonder bow it was possible to have lived iu safety for weeks in a city containing such men. These mcu wero not armed, iu the common sense of tbo word, tomo of them had revolvers, and tho most cf them bad knives. But they seldom nsed either, for awkward questions might be raised if tlie police were railed to ac count for failing to arrest urmid civil ians on the streets. Carrying ax helves, pickax bandies, heavy clubs, like base ball bats; jugged fragment c.f broken scantling- carrying anything that can crash the skull of man this horrible rabble flooded the streets of all Chris tian quartf-ra of tbe city, like au all des olating tidui wave, silent bat irresisti ble. Their silence by day was almost as terrible as their bowls by night They would be seen going along the street, when they would meet eu Armeniaa who bad ventured to attempt to reads bis home. Without a word they would bVeak in bis skull and go on their way. entirely unmoved and hardly having spoken a load word. If resistance was offered, they bad only to say, "The Giaours resist I" and a horde of their fellows would como ranniug from all directions to destroy one who bad prov ed his seditious quality by daring to re fist a Mussulman.

After an absence of three years tbe expedition tinder Lieutenant Hourst has safely retnrned to Europe from tbe Ni ger. The party ascentk-d the Seuegal river and then carried the sections of an aluminium boat overland to the up per part of tbe Niger. On reaching this river the pieces of tbe boat were put to gether and two native boats purchased. In these the expedition sailed down tbe Niger to Timbuktu, where a stay of ten months was made. The voyage from Timbuktu to Lokoja, at the con fluence of tbe Niger and Benue, seems to have been arduous, but from that point the expedition was towed by a launch belonging to the Royal Niger company to the coast at Wari. Dow much fresh topographical information Lieutenant iloursi's party has obtained ia not yet stated. This will depeud on tbe highest point reached on tbe Niger. Renter's message states that the expedi tion "first met the river Niger at Kayes, " but that town is on the Sene. gal river. There can be no doabt, how ever, that much valuable scientific in formation was obtained, for the expedi tion traveled slowly and was admirably equipped. One novelty was tbe nse of a phonograph for reporting the native war songs.. The expedition kept peace with the natives throughout tbo journey, in which it differs greatly from Eomo of those previously conducted Ly French explorers ia that region. Nature.
