THE COUNTY POOR FARM.

An Express Reporter Pays a Visit to the Home of the Impoverished.

HOW THE PAUPERS ARE CARED FOR BY THE COUNTY.

The Insane Inmates—Some of the Peculiar Features of Insanity.

Vigo county htis a poor asylum of which it can well be proud. The build ings are not pretentious and are not surmounted by battlements or orna mented with cornices constructed with a view to architectural magnificence. The one great charm which pervades the premises is the near approach to a country home, a quiet retreat where the unfortunate in this life can be cared for and find comfort from the hardships of a cold world. The word asylum conveys a distasteful meaning to many and there are those to whom it suggests an idea of distress and even horror. A visit to the asylum will remove all such feelings and unfounded sentiments, for in the quietude of the asylum they will find that the people care for their helpless ones in a munificent and charitable manner. How often those upon whom calamities have fallen, thick and fast, exclaim in despair that they had rather die than go to the poor house, if they knew what ease and comfort awaited them within the WUIIB of the county house, they would not assert such a positive statement. Everyone, no matter to what pecuniary circumstances reduced, retains a certain amount of pride, and even want does not force it to be broken. However, of those unfortunates who become inmates of the asylum a large majority of them are aged and are unable to make a living for themselves. It is seldom young men and women find themselves in the poor asylum, unless they are mentally weak or have some physical aflliction which prevents them earning their livelihood. Looking at so many white heads, the young and vigorous should learn a great lesson, to lay up for a rainy day, so that the eventide of life shall not be spent in a poor asylum.

The Vigo asylum is not "over the hills." It is due north of the fairgrounds and is reached by driving north on the road passing the Rose Orphan home, about a mile beyond the railroad. Turning to the east the Lost Creek bridge is crossed, and parententically speaking it was near this point that the bed of Lost Creek was years ago turned from a southern course to one towards the north and west. The first field of the poor farm which is just beyond the bridge is planted in corn and the crop is splendid. The field is dense and obscures the view of the buildings. Turning in from the road there is a beautiful driveway leading to the buildings. It is lined on either side with a row of trees. At the end of the drive there is a circular grass plat beautifully set out with choice flowers. In front of the house there is a yard which is a veritable flower garden. An old son of the Emerald Isle who hobbles about upon a wooden leg attends to the yard. It is the picture of neatness and nicety. Not a blade of grass springs from between the bricks of the walk, and the flower beds are kept in perfect order. The passage ways, lined with fragrant blooms, make a delightful walk. On the north side of the long building is a broad graveled court and a small park set out in trees which cast a heavy shade. The view in all directions is a pretty one. LookiDg east there are fields which are used in raising grain. In the rear are the stables and beyond the orchard. The garden is to the west of the home.

Superintendent Joshua M. Hull kind1) conducted an Express reporter through the buildings. In the front are Mr. and Mrs. Hull's parlors and private apartments. This building was at one time separate from the wards of the inmates. A chapel was built connecting the two. It is a large room fitted up with tables and chairs and an organ. The tipper Hoor is divided into rooms. In the rear of the chapel and an adjoining dining room is the ward for the male inmates. Among one of the first rooms is a tailor shop. In this little Wesley Weathers, the dwarf so well known about town, is kept busy. Superintendent Hull compels each man to change his suit of clothes each week. They are then washed and passed through the mending room where repairs are made, such as patching, sewing on buttons, etc. Little Wesley has proven quite a good tailor. There are eighteen or twenty rooms in the ward and each room is occupied by one or more beds. The bedsteads are of iron with straw mattresses. The bed clothing was white and clean and the beds made up with great nicety. The floors are bare but they were all scrubbed until the wood glistened and no dirt could be seen. Since Superintendent Hull has had charge of the home he has insisted upon the utmost cleanliness. His discipline in this direction has been rigorous, but very beneficial, and the condition of the wards is a high compliment to his superintendency of the inkt tution. On the floor above is the ward for females. Tho same neatness characterizes all of the apartments which is so strikingly manifest in the ward below. Above the chapel is a laundry room which is kept scrupulously clean. The Hoor is exceedingly white and the ironing boards are kept white with muslin. The insane department is in the rear of the main brick building. From the female ward a bridge connects with the upper ward of the insane in which are located the insane females. There are at present six confined in the ward. None of them are violent aud there is no necessity for restraint except to prevent them from running away if they should get out. Superintendent Hull said it was a wrong idea that insane patients should be locked in their cells. There are twenty-one insane at the asylum, and none of them are violent and need to be confined in their cells. The women are given access to a corridor and all of the rooms are thrown open to them during the day. But one, a young man, is kept under lock and key in the lower ward. He is weak-minded and runs away whenever opportunity offers, but is never violent. Mr. Hull said the insane never give him any great trouble. He treats them kindly, and gives them many liberties, and finds no difficulty in controlling them. Six incurables have recently been removed to

Gome.

THE TERRE fiAtfllS EXPRESS, SUNDAY

the Logansport asylum, which relieved the pressure somewhat. It is expected that more of the incurables will be removed as soon as the asylum at Logansport can accommodate a greater number.

The basement of the building is an interesting place. The kitchens and dining rooms for the inmates are located there and when the reporter first was ushered through preparations were being made for dinner. Bread baking was going on, and it was stated that seventyfive and eighty large loaves of bread were baked every other day to supply the inmates. There are three dining rooms, two for the men and one for the women. The servants prepare each meal and place it on the tables before the inmates are called. They are given meat every day, alternating in the kind. They are abundantly supplied with potatoes, beans, bread, and other substantials, tea, coffee, etc. The fare can certainly not be complained of. In the rear of the dining and kitchen apartment, there is a ward which years ago was used for the incarceration of inmates. The rooms now look dreary and dungeon-like to the whitewashed walls and cleanly rooms of the rooms now in use. Superintendent Hull said one would hardly believe it, but the rooms were at one time used for that purpose. Those in which the insane were in those days confined remind one of the cells in the castle of a mediaeval feudal baron. Large doors made out of heavy timber still swing on their hinges but no longer close on unfortunates. The idea was ten or fifteen years ago that everyone who was mentally unballanced was not safe to be at large and should be kept locked in a cage. But there has fortunately been a change for the better. The cells are now used as storage rooms for vegetables, coal, wood, etc., and many of them are unoccupied and will continue to be for some time to

The furnaces which supply heat

for the entire building are located in the corridor of the basement. Recently the bath rooms were completed. The building is two stories and stands separate from the rest. There are four tubs connected with hot and cold water pipes and once a week every inmate is compelled to take a bath. An artesian well, dug while Joe Blake was commissioner, is a short distance away. The water has a decidedly salty taste and is said to contain highly medicinal properties. It is used principally for bathing. On the second Hoor of the bath rooms are rooms which are assigned to helpless female inmates, and they make very comfortable apartments. The wash house supplies the warm water for the bath tubs. Throughout the corridors of the main building hose is stretched above the doors, so that in the event of fire no time would be lost in turning on a stream of water. The pressure and supply is obtained from a large tank on the top of the building. A trip to the asylum is well worth anyone's time. Under the management of Mr. Hull, with the assistance of his most estimable wife, the asylum is perhaps as well conducted as any in the state. Commissioners from other counties have visited the farm and pronounce it an excellently conducted institution, and one that can be taken as a model by many.

There are a number of interesting characters at the asylum. There is old Aunt Celia Ilarman, colored. She is about 06 or 97 years of age, and is still quite strong. She is from North Carolina and knew Dr. B. P. Swafford when he was a Sunday school boy. The doctor's aged mother visited here a year or more ago, and it was she who placed Aunt Celia's age at 9G or 97. Aunt Celia before going to the asylum worked for Mr. Durham, south of the city. When seen by the reporter Aunt Celia was quite feeble. She was sitting up, but said she had had a severe chill and that she was not feeling as well as usual. Her hair is gray and her form considerably shrunken. Her intellect remains bright and her hearing is good. Her eyesight is growing dim and she cannot see distinctly. She can get about the ward by pushing a chair in front of her. Mr. Hull says she is perfectly contented and always happy. John Harkins, an old colored man of 91. came to the asylum last fall. He is feeble but can get about the place by the assistance of a cane. Jesse Huddleston is the oldest inmate of the asylum. He has been an inmate for twenty-seven years. When he went to the home it was located east of Sand Hill on the Bloomington road on a forty-acre tract. Twenty-two years ago the present farm was purchased and Uncle Jesse has been an inmate from the first. He is now over 05 years of age. During the long period he has been at the home he has been afllicted with paralysis. He was at times able to walk about, but for years has occupied a rolling invalid's chair by which he gets from place to place. He does not bear his aflliction as patiently as others and is a frequent complainer. He is quite strong and hearty, but cross and irritable. Mrs. Sarah Pleming has been in the asylum for twenty-five years. Her mind is weak. She lived in the southern part of the county, and upon the death of her husband was sent to the farm. She is over GO years of age. One incurable has her room decorated with pictures she has obtained at various times. She has a mania for collecting pebbles and the top of a small stand is covered with a collection. One insane patient will have nothing to do with the other inmates. When he has completed some light work or other, he will go to his room, close the door, and remain for hours in solitude. Another weakminded individual makes a tour of the farm daily, after doing the chores at the stable. He always returns at meal times. One peculiarity of his case is that every day he must, be remincjed of his work or he will forget to perform it. Another, every year takes up long rows of pebbles, removes the grass which has sprung up, replaces the stones and then whitewashes them. They make a very pretty border to the gravel walks, lie has done the work regularly for a number of years and takes great pride in it.

There are now over eighty inmates at the farm, a large attendance for this time of the year. There are 132 acres in the farm. The crops, with the exception of wheat, were very good this year. The farm is quite well stocked this year. The garden yield this year was very large, especially that of potatoes.

A correspondent of an English magazine alleges that a perfect cure for sleeplessness is to think of some dream one has had, the more recently the better, and to begin in going over again in the mini! as nearly as possible the details of the dream.

HELP FOR ST. ANTHONY'S.

The Ladies

Union

orst. Anthony's Hospital Formed.

It is a fact familiar to all acquainted with the history and management of St. Anthony's hospital in this city, that, for most part of the time this notable charity has been in operation, the number of patients admitted has taxed not only the capacity of thel buiding, but the resources and endurance of the limited number of sisters in charge of it. In the care of the sick and unfortunate, no discrimination whatever is made, persons of all shades of religions faith sharing alike in the benefits flowing from the unselfish devotion of these sisters to the duties assigned them.

Pew, however, fully comprehended the exacting nature of the cares and duties assigned these faithful and uncomplaining nurses, or the comprehensive and indispensable needs

%of

crowded with the sick and suffering. The immediate and personal care of these unfortunates is alone sufficient to tax to the uttermost the time, strength and endurance of the sisters in charge, exclusive of the numberless added duties that are in a manner incidental to the immediate care and nursing of the 6ick.

These incidental needs are will understood by those familiar with the care of hospital patients, and it is with the view of saving to these faithful but overworked nurses the time and labor now expended by them in making such incidental provisions for the sick, and which can be as well done outside of as within the hospital, that a large number of the charitably disposed ladies of the city, irrespective of church affiliations, convened last Thursday and organized a relief society in aid of the sisters in their distinctive work. A charter membership of over fifty, with assurances of as many more who were unable to be present at the first meeting, iB an earnest of the hearty and practical sympathy of the ladies of the city in this most important and praiseworthy movement. A cordial invitation to co-operate is extended to all who may feel an interest in the welfare and efficiency of the hospital service. The regular meetings of the society occur on the first Thursday of each month, at St. Benedict's School hall, Ninth and Walnut streets. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year:

President—Mrs. Prank Prox. Vice president—Mrs. L. Grover. Secretary—Mrs. Kate Cronin. Treasurer—Mrs. A. J. Kaufman.
