teat io tbe House, and Mr. Cobb reclining in an •asy ohair in the lobby, where he was surrounded by friends. The bad feeling between the two members dates lack some months ago. and it was apparent on the occasion when Mr. Cobb made his Charges against Mr. Laird, some three weeks ago, that the last named member with great difficulty restrained from emphasizing with his fist the indignant denial and defiance he huried at his antaeonist. There was every reason to believe that if interference had not come in the shape ot 5l:-. Payson, who sought to pour oil on the troubled waters, that a sanguinary personal combat would have resulted. Both of the members concerned are of powerful physique, and both bear thq reputation of men ready at all times to defend themselves in a fitting manner. Mr. Cobb stands six feet and over in his shoes, and is of proportionate breadth, but is somewhat at a disadvantage on the score of age, being in tbe Seighborhood of fifty-eight or sixty years old. Lr. Laird is but thirty-seven years of age, with a girth of chest that would ornament an athlete, and a fiery, impetuous temper. On the other hand, he is slightly lame, the result of a fracture of a leg a year or two ago. Neither of the members is willing to make a statement at this time, and the probable upshot of tbe encounter is a matter of speculation among their brother members. The opinion is expressed in some quarters that the House of Representatives has been outraged by the affray, and that it is a fitting sub(ect for investigation by that body. But a] maerity of the members who are disposed ts talk about the matter hold that, as tbe encounter did not occur on the floor, the House is in no wise concerned in it. THE STEERING COMMITTEE. It Succeeds In Arousing the Wrath of the Naval Affairs Committee. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 16.—Tho utmost dissatisfaction exists among members of the House naval committee over the announcement that the steering committee has decided to allow a bill appropriating $3,000,000 for the rebuilding of the navy to pass. This steering committee was appointed in caucus some time ago to select auch measures of legislation as might be deemed advisable by them, and to take them up and pass them before adjournment. The steering committe is composed of Carlisle, Morrison and Randall, and they virtually have absolute control over all matters of legislation now before the House. The object iu appointing them was to facilitate business and prevent a clash of different interests, in order that the House might intelligently work out some of the various problems which are already ’before it. There was no authority given this committee beyond the selection of such measures as it would be desirable to pass, but they have assumed that they have the right to dictate the amounts that shall be appropriated. The naval committee of the House agreed upon a bill which provided for about $6,500.000 for rebuilding the navy. The steering committee have cut this amount down to $3,000,000. and say that they are willing that that sum should be allowed for this purpose, but not one cent more. The indignation which members of the committee express over this arbitrary course of the three dictators is shared by others on the floor, and it is expected that when the bill comes up for discussion there will be a very lively debate over the right of these men to shape legislation according to their own ideas. In the meantime 3lessrg. Carlisle, Randall and Morrison can say to the Deinecratic House, as Tweed said to tho citizens of New York: “W r hat are you going to do about it?”

THE TILLER PENSION. How the President Sought to Extricate Himself from au Unpleasant Predicament. flpocial to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 16.—A great deal of comment has been excited over the course of the President in the case of Tiller, the Louisville policeman, who claimed a pension on acconnt of the death of his son. The President vetoed a bill which was introduced in the House, and the veto was taken up and considered by the pensions committee and reported back to the Houae, with a recommendation that it pass in spite of the veto. Then came an intimation from the White House that it would be better, perhaps, not to rush this thing through too speedily, and the •whippers-in, therefore, talked the Democratic members into a postponement of final action on the bill. It was whispered very loudly last week that it would not be necessary to pass it, as the President had taken steps to secure a pension for the man without such action. When he vetoed tho bill Mr. Cleveland took occasion to get off some of his cheap wit and sneering remarks about the pensioner, and insisted, as a reason for his veto, that the soldier was a deserter and therefore none of his relatives could come in for relief. The veto message was one of the meanest and most contemptible state papers that was ever issued from an executive officer of any government, and the passage of tbe bill over the veto was assured by such a majority as would make even Grover Cleveland understand that he had overdone the thing. It seems now that the President, instead of taking a manly course, such as would suggest itself to a person who ought to have the honor generally credited to the ruler of a great people, sent for the Commissioner of Pensions and pettifogged the • case through the department The dependent father, whose dependence lias been established, is to have a pension with back pay for the loss of his son, whose gallant service and cruel death in Andersonville entitled his memory to more honor than was accorded by the first Democratic President since the war. The amount to be allowed him will approximate $2,200. After all, the old gentleman will pave cause to congratulate himself apon the veto, as, if the bill had been signed by ‘he President, he would have had nothing but a month from the time of its signing. There are several other cases which have been vetoed by the President that he will try to have settled in the same w ay, as he has found that, he has made a great many mistakes by relying so implicitly upon the report of a $1,200 clerk in the tbe Pension Office rather than those of committees of both houses of Congress. EXTRA PAY FOR EMPLOYES. Sow the Custom Originated, and Why It Failed at the Present' Session. Special to luh Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 16.—A great howl has been raised lately over tho attempt to secure an *xtra month’s pay for the House employes. Several of the New York papers have spoken of the matter as though it wore a salary grab, and entirely outside the pale of necessity. The facts are that several years ago a conference committee on tbe part of the two Houses of Congress agreed to readjust the pay of the employes of tach house. The Senate, however, refused to .ndorse the action of the committee, while tho House, on its part, adopted the report of the conference committee and cut down all salaries to the figures which employes now receive. When it was found that the Senate failed to follow suit, an attempt was made to equalize the matter to some extent by allowing ;he House employes an extra month’s pay during the long session of Congress. This worked very well for awhile, but in the last two Congresses the Senate has insisted on giving it* employes an extra month's pay. This has defeated the object of tbe original idea, and tbe employes won’t get their money this year. Some of them aave adopted a very unique manner of getting jven with the members who voted against them. One old fellow, the right sleeve of whoso coat baa been empty fpr the past twenty years, said to-day: “I am going to borrow S3O from every member who voted against us, and I will never pay one of them back.” AN UNRELIABLE TALLY-SHEET. 4buse and Displeasure Vented Upon a Man Who Is Not to Illame. yecUl to the ! ndtanacrUis Journal. Washington. July Id—The fact that the Ally-sheet used to record the vote by which the AOpudment proposed by Mr. Hewitt to appropriate (|iOj,OUO for tbe Bartholdi statue ceremonies

contained tho names of two members who were recorded as voting in the affirmative, but who really did not vote at all, has called down upon the head of the tally clerk all sorts of abuse, and one local paper even goes so far as to demand that the Speaker remove him. This is very unjust toward a very efficient officer, and any ore who knows the labor required of the clerk whore duty it is to keep a record of the votes cast will readily see how easy it was for him to be fooled by some indiscreet members on the floor. There is no doubt whatever that the manner in which the names of Messrs. Bliss and Campbell came to be recorded was that some indiscreet and overzealous friend responded when their names were called, thinking that he was doing no harm, and believing that he wae recording their votes just as they wanted to be recorded. It is impossible for the tally clerk, or anyone else, to prevent voting of this kind. Members are not compelled to vote from their seats, but frequently stand in the cloak-room doors, or sit upon the sofas in the rear of the desks, and respond to a roll-call. Craig, tbe tally clerk, hos been a very valuable man. and it is not right that he should be made to suffer for a violation of tbe rules on the part of somo member. INDIAN TRADER9HIPS. A Senate Inquiry Into an Alleged Scandal — Two Letters from Senator Vest. Washington, July 16.—The examination of R. M. Hunter, attorney for Cleveland & Cos., late traders at Anadarko, L TANARUS., was continued this morning by the Platt special committee of the Senate. Mr. Hunter’s evidence was substantially in corroboration of that of Mr. Cleveland on Tuesday last. He described a series of interviews between himself and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs with respect to the renewal of Cleveland's license and S. M. Jackson's proposition for a partnership with Cleveland. At one of these interviews Mr. Hunter said he believed though he could not swear to it, that he (Hunter) termed Jackson's proposition a black-mail-ing scheme. The outcome of these interviews was a refusal by Mr. Atkins to re-license Cleveland. The witness several times referred to interviews with Senator Vest, who, he said, was interested in behalf of Mr, Cleveland, but the committee decided not to hear anything with regard to these interviews which was not essential to a clear understanding of Hunter's own action, because Senator Vest has made a request to be called as a witness and allowed to tell bis own story. The witness, by instruction of his cli ents, appealed the matter to the President, and sent to him, after a personal interview with Colonel Lament, some documents relating to tho case. One document was an affidavit made by Cleveland, relating to the story of Jackson’s visit to Anadarko, his proposition to affiant to enter into partnership with him (Jackson), putting in the license while Cleveland furnished capital and experience and did all the work, his (Jackson’s) threat to have Cleveland pot off the reservation if he did not assent to a partnership upon these terras, and his statement that he had sufficient influence with Commissioner Atkins to secure his object. Among the documents were also the following letters, both addressed to Maj. James Bannerman, care Meyer, Bannerman & Cos., St, Louis, Mo.: Unitkk States Senate, ) Washington, I>oo. 5, 1885. 5 Dear Jim—l had a long talk to-day with Atkins. Commissioner of Indian Affairs. The result of it all was that he is willing to license either Reynolds or Cleveland in conjunction with Jackson. He refuses to license both, but. says he will give either of them a recommend—a joint license with Jackson, who is already licensed. This was the best I could do. Now, 1 want you to see Dave and then write to me who is the nian, Cleveland or Reynolds. I don’t care for either but I want to meet your and Dave's wishes. Let me know at once. Your friend G. G. Vest. United .Stater Senate. i Washington, D. C., Dec. 12, 1885. > Dear Jim—Since writing you the other day I received a note from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs asking me to call at his office. He wanted to tell me that he had just seen Jackson and found it impossible to keep his promise in regard to giving a partnership with Jackson, either to Reynolds or Cleveland, as I might select. He then said that he would try to give Reynolds another tradership at another point, and that this waa tbe best he could do. It is simply ini* r>ssibie for me to do justice to my astonishment when found that lie had changed his mind, but I found I could not help myself, and so the matter rests. * Atkins seems determined to put all the leaderships in the Indian Territory in the hands of Mississippiaus or Tennesseeans, ido not want to have a quarrel with him, but T think I shall offer a resolution in the Senate asking for full information as to these appointments. Let me know whether Reynolds Will take a tradership at another point. Atkins told me that Cleveland bad a herd of cattle on the reservation, and he did not think he could appoint him under any circumstances. Your friend, G. G. Vest.

PRIVATE PENSIONS. Three More Bill* To Be Recommended for PassHge Over the President’s Veto. Washington, July 16.—Representative Morrill, of Kansas, from the committee on invalid pensions, to-day reported back the bill granting an iocreased pension to John W. Farri9, of Missouri, with the recommendation that it be passed over the President’s veto. The report says that the claimant, in his application, alleges that the disease of his eyes was the result of diarrhea contracted in the service, and cites the opinion of the medical examiner to the effect that disease of the eyes cannot result from diarrhea. In refutation of this the report appends the testimony of several phisicians to the effect that the claimant’s impaired vision was the direct effect of diarrhea. The committee, however, doe 9 not deem it absolutely essential that.it shall be proved with mathematical certainty that the loss of sight was the result of military service, but holds that Congress has the right to grant the relief sought without question, and that it was its duty to do so. Representative Conger reported back, with a recommendation similar to that made in the above-mentioned case, the bill granting a pension to David T. Eldorkin. of lowa. Eiderkin was dishonorably discharged, and filed an application for pension, alleging deafness, but it was refused on the ground of insufficient proof. This fact, together with his bad record, had weight with the President in vetoing the bill. In the report, the committee says that this seems to be a meritorious case, and the only possible objection that could be urged against the claim is the claimant's dishonorable discharge. But this, it says, seems to be fully expiaiuea, and, while technically the soldiers’fault, it certainly was not. in spirit or intent, a desertion. The committee find that this deafness and deplorable insanity was unquestionably the result of wounds received in the service, and it therefore recommends the passage of the bill over the veto. The same committee to-day agreed to take the same action in the case of the bill granting a fiension to Sarah Ann Bradley, of Ohio, who tad a husband and four sons iu the army. The President vetoed this bill on the ground that the husband did not die of disability contracted in the service, but the committee does not regard that fact as essential, and holds that the evidence that the claimant is dependent is sufficient to warrant the allowance of the claim. Representative Elisberry will present the report in this case. SENATOR EDMUNDS’S COURSE. His Waning Prestige as a Political Leader —His Friends Grieved Over His Actions. Special to Now York Commercial Advertiser. The friends and admirers of Mr. Edmunds have had their faith in his wisdom somewhat shaken by his course during the last six months. His attempt to lead the Republican party to adopt the policy of tieing tho President’s hands, in the matter of nominations last spring, resulted in a practical failure, because the Senate has not adhered to either the letter or the spirit of the resolutions which it passed, by tho smallest possible majority, at Mr. Edmuuds's instance. But it is not this blunder and failure which has chiefly injured him. It. is the persistence with which lie has worked and voted in the interests of corporate monopolies all the session. His action and attitude have been such as to make it almost impossible to avoid tbe conviction that he is. to say the least, folly as much •ugrossod with his own affairs and certain cor-

porations as with his duties to the public in his capacity as a United States Senator. This is what is being said of him, not by malicious enemies, but with sincere sorrow by friends. Tbe average citizen would probably rather say and think this of any other man in public life, so high has Mr. Edmunds stood in the general estimation. Senator* Edmcnds’s course in regard to the Beck bill, prohibiting congressmen from serving as attorneys for land-grant railways, has alienated many who have winked at all previous doubtful points in his record. Although Mr. Edraunds's name does not appear prominently in connection with thie matter, it is generally understood, and is probably true, that he has been the master spirit of the opposition to the bill, with Mr. Hoar as an able lieutenant. It is supposed to have been at Mr. Edmonds’s suggestion that Mr. Hawley moved a reconsideration of the vote by which the bill waa originally passed, and had it referred to the judiciary committee, of which Mr. Edmunds is the chairman Mr. Beck’B bill may have been crude and imperfect, as alleged, and if so it was the duty of the committee to rectify its errors and report it back in an improved form, so that the object of the bill, confessedly a good and desirable one, could be more swiftly and surely attained. Instead of this, the committee has reported a substitute which, were it a less serious matter, would be the laughing-stock of Congress, and. in fact, does provoke much qukit and unhoiy mirth among those Congressmen and Senators who are opposed to the Beck bill The substitute aims simply at a reductio ad absurd um. It says in effect, “if you force us to give up our railroad law practice, we will force you to give up your practice altogether.” By its terms no member of Congress can act as attorney in respect to any matter which comes directly or indirectly within the control of Congress, even in the very slightest degree. For instance, it would be forbidden to a Congressman to defend or oppose a suit touching the manufacture of tobacco, because Congress levies a tax on tobacco. Thus a righteous measure, directed against a glaring and notorious evil, has been deliberately overloaded by the judiciary committee, under the lead of Messrs. Edmunds and Hoar, obviously with the express purpose of killing it outright, in order to further the personal interests of the railroad attorneys in tbe Senate, of whom, according to current rumor, there are not a few. Mr. Hoar reported the substitute, but Mr. Edmunds is credited, or debited, with its paternity. Mr. Hoar, indeed, reported another measure still as a substitute for the substitute. The Democratic members reported back the original bill, slightly altered, as representing the views of tbe minority. It remains to be seen whether a majority of the Senate will dare to indorse the scandalous and trivial report of the majority of the committee. It is generally thought here that it will not. But the probability is that a vote upon the measure will not be reached at ail, and that it will meet the usual fate of calendared bills that are objectionable to one or more Senators. But though Messrs. Edmunds, Hoar and Hawley may succeed in burying the issue six pages deep, the people will not forgot it in a hurry.

AMBITIOUS MB. VILAS. Trying to Steer Wisconsin Politics and Making Plenty of Enemies. Waeliinston Special. Postmaster-general Vilas is anxious to “own a State,” as the saying goes with the average politician, and he sees for the first time a prospect of having this laudable ambition granted. It is true, as has been frequently and zealously stated by good administration papers, that neither Mr. Yilas nor Mr. Whitney has any intention of “cutting under" his chief, and neither is a candidate for the presidency. Nevertheless, both are ambitious, and neither loses an opportunity of making a point count for himself. In the first place, ever since the Democratic national convention Mr. Vilas has been stretching out his influence over the State of Wisconsin, ami he has lately served notice upon all Democrats that he proposes to control the patronage of that State and make it politically his own. A single example will serve to show how close the Postmaster-general draws the line upon appointments. Mr. Price, Republican member of tbe House from the Eighth district, was* desirous, for the convenience of pensioners, to secure the establishment of a board of medical examiners at Eau Claire. Being a matter appertaining purely to tho Pension Office he, of course, called upon Commissioner Black and asked that it be done. General Black informed Mr. Price that he could do nothing in the premises until he (Price) had cailed upon Postmaster-general Vilas and received his sanction and suggestions in regard to the matter. Price called upon Vila3 and submitted a list of three reputable physicians, two of whom wore Democrats, to form the board. Yilas objected and took the matter entirely out of Mr. Price's hands by appointing or suggesting to the Pension Office for appointment three different men from another town, all Democrats. Mr. Price made no protest, having secured the board of examiners needed, but a few days after the apnointffient received a letter from one of the appointees. Dr. Galway, saying that he could not serve upon the board, as the ethics of medical practice did not ailow him to recognize the other two appointees a9 belonging to the profession. Whether the Postmaster-general in making the selections looked rather to the political than to the medical fitness of the two gentlemen referred to, or whether the difference was simply between the schools of medicine, the letter does not state, but Mr. Vilas has succeeded in putting this board evidently where it will be of the most service, as it did not go to Eau Claire. The Democrats of Wisconsin are much disturbed over this monopoly of patronage by the Postmaster general, and knowing as they do that it points directly to Senator Sawyer’s seat, and having some interest in that themselves, they are beginning to utter ominous growls that must soon reach the ears ot tho President. It is said that General Bragg is not the least dissatisfied of Wisconsin's prominent Democrats. CLEVELAND’S DEMOCRACY. Ho Is a Full Reliever in the “Blessings” that Follow Bourbon Supremacy. Interview in i Louisville Courier-Journal. Hon. Thomas A. Robertson, the genial representative of the Fourth Kentucky district in the national House of Representatives, and the secretary of the Democratic congressional committee, was in the city for an hoar last night, en route from Washington to Elizabethtown. “What do I think of the civil service system?” he said to a reporter of the Courier-Journal who was fortunate enough to catch him at the Alexandria; “why civil service, per se, is all right, but it is a humbug as some of its advocates would have it administered. I believe in the Jeffersonian principle, coupled with tho Jacksonian policy. The President has pursued the only course open to him as an honest man, as well as an earnest and uncompromising Democrat. Opposed as be has beeu by the civil-service law, the tenure-of-office act and a hostile Senate, be has succeeded in placing 50,000 Democrats in offices heretofore held by Republicans. It is ouly a matter of time when, under his administration, every office in the gift of the government will be filled by Democrats. I can assure you that while he will be governed by the law as it exists, he believes in the blessings to follow Democratic supremacy as fully and as firmly as it is possible for any man to believe. “I may say upon the authority of the President himself that he most earnestly desires the success of the Democratic party in the coming congressional campaign, and proposes to do all that can be done consistently with the full meaning of his oath of office to assist in tbe accomplishment of that end. 1 have assurances that he will do everything to aid the rational committee which may be done legitimately in the spirit, as well as the letter of the law, and I believe that the recommendations of the committee as to removals from office will have their proper weight with him. The President is a Democrat” MIN O It-M ATTER3. Tho Value of Mr. Riddleberger—A Man who Talks Out in Meeting;. Washington Special. Mr. Riddleberger now rises. He sits in the rear row of desks on the Republican side, between Sewell and Sawyer. He is a tall, slender man. with bright eyes, brown mustache and long ohm whiskers. The top of his head is bald, and

he covers the bare place by brushing the hair over it from the left ear. Riddleberger is refreshing. It would be a good thing for the Senate if there were some more in that dense and aristocratic body like him, barring some personal peculiarities. He denounces the river and harbor bill as a piece of jobbery and bargain amoug the Senators. Ha mentions several rivers named in the bill and defies any Senator to name where they are. In a rather rabid way he tells a lot of wholesome truths, and ail the other Senators sit silent. They pretend that it is beneath their dignity to notice Riddieberger, but at the same time they fear his reckless expressions and sharp tongue. Riddleberger persists in talking out in meeting continually, and telling the people what is being done in secret, and exposing the pretty little plans of the Senators that are supposed to be hidden from the common masses He is against executive sessions and for investigations. He is an nwful nuisance to senatorial “dignity” and “courtesy,” and other such rot Riddleberger has his failings, but he has his usefulness. The Case of Commodore Truxton. Washington, July 16.—The President has issued an order in the case of Commodore W. T. Truxton. in which he says: “I regret the hardship entailed upon an old and meritorious officer, and, while of the opinion that relief must come to him. if at all, through legislative action, am also of opinion that his case may properly be commended to the favorable consideration of Congress.” Commodore Truxton was nominated for promotion to rear-admiral but was retired as a commodore before the Senate acted upon the nomination. Serious Charges Against Senator Blair. Washington Special. A member of the Senate claims to have proof that Senator Blair of New Hampshire exacted from a widow a fee of S2OO for procuring for har a pension. This act would render Mr. Blair liable not only to expulsion from the Senate, but to criminal prosecution, fine and imprisonment. The Sepator who claims to have the information says he will present it in the open Senate. Miscellaneous Notes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 16.—Dud Rhodes, late of Delaware, 0., and ex-chief of a division in the Postoffice Department, now acting as the representative of several large stationery firms, has secured several heavy contracts for stationery supplies for the Postoffice and Interior Departments within the last ten days. Among the cailers upon the President to-dty were ex-Senator McDonald, Col. Dick Bright and Hon. James F. Harney, of Indiana. Cyras S. Stay has been commissioned postmaster at Butler, Ind.

CHARITIES AXI) CORRECTION. Questions Discussed and Suggestions Made at the Annual Meeting at St. Paul. St. Paul,. July 16. —In the Conference of Charities and Correction, this morning, Dr. W. B. Fletcher, of Indianapolis, declared that a great obstacle ifi his State was a political prejudice against reform institutions. The great end to be attained is reform of habits and a knowledge of industrial pursuits. General W. Me Bane, of Washington Territory. stated that the last Legislature had located two insane asylums, schools for deaf and dumb, and a permanent penitentiary. What is needed in these young States is thorough information on the subjects to place before the Legislatures. Rev. Dr. Hill, president of the State Board of Pardons, of Oregon, said the accomodations for insane there were amply sufficient at present, and excellent in character. The penitentiary system, as yet, is somewhat primitive. Mrs. Hendricks, widow of the late Vice-presi-dent, being asked to speak, deputed Mrs. Keely, superintendent of the Woman's Reformatory of Indianapolis. She gave an interesting description of the workings of the institution. It was necessary to keep the women employed in sewing and needlework. J. H. Mills, of North Carolina, described ,the working of the penitentiary of that State, and regretted that the large shoe shops had been discontinued at the request of the Knights of La bor. Inmates of the lunatic asylum work on a large farm, and see in to enjoy agricultural pursuits. The State needs a board of charities. He was opposed to the peniteutiary system aa it at present exists, as he was opposed to slavery. If the individual owned a slave, he took care of him: but if the State owned a slave, it got the most out of him. Judge Follet, of the Supreme Court of Ohio, read the report from the State Superintendent, stating that the law of Ohio prohibiting children under sixteen years of age being placed in infirmaries, was not fully observed, because no penalty was attached. Replying to an inquiry in regard to the paroling system, the Judge said the matter was tested in the Ohio courts, the opposition to it being that it was a partial pardon, but this objection was overruled about six months ago. and as it now prevails it resembles the English ticket-of-leave system. The report of the committee on reports from States was read by Gen. R. Brinkerhoff. of Ohio; it states that no new State boards of public charities have been formed, but there is a steady growth of provision for insane, and the tendency is to diminish restraint and repression. There is general need for further provision for the custody and care of idiots and feeble-minded, children, and for prison work. The movement is spreading to secure reformation for fir3t offenders on the graded plan. Chaplain Brooks, of the Colorado penitentiary, spoke of the school he had organized, as a result of which every prisoner can now read, and most can write. Rev. T. D. Haley, of Kansas City, said Ills Governor declined to process a State board of charities. The jails are old and inadequate. Judge Pendergast, of Chicago, said there were more insane persons in Cook county than in any county of the United States, outside of New York. Formerly, persons deemed insane were placed in common jails while awaiting trial, and were subjected to brutal treatment by inmates. Brutality was avoided by the establishment of a sort of preliminary detention asylum, and onethird of those brought there have been discharged cured before trial. He advocated that such places should be established everywhere prior to commitment in asylums. At the afternoon session Mrs. Marsh, of Chicago, spoke on the care of homeless girls. The industrial School in Chicago was the only one in the State. The plan of the institution was te take these children and instruct them in such useful branches of education as will make them self-supporting and self respecting until they arrive at the age of eighteen. She regretted that the age was not extended to twentjp-ono. Rev. Dr. A. G. Byers, M. D., secretary of the Board of State Charities of Ohio, read a paper on the administration of poor-houses and jails. Ho dwelt on wrongs perpetrated by the admission of improper persons to poor-houses. He denounced the practice of letting the medical service to the lowest bidder. At the evening session. Bishop Ireland delivered nq address on the system of charities of the Catholic Chnrch. Ex-President Hayes warmly commended the work of the State Boards of Charities, and Bishop Whipple spoke to the same effect
