E. Chamberlain, the “visitor of outside towns,” who looks after the Supervisors with u view te prevent their equendering money for relief purposcs. ! Commissioner Purinzton opened on Kelly by { asking him if all the people in. Lemont were poor } about AprilI. {n looking over the bills, it had peen found that nearly all the articles were de- divered between the Ist and 6th. “That is ail right,” said Kelly. “And that many of the orders were given on Sunday.” “That is all right,” repeated Kelly. “If you |-will refer to the bills since T have been Super- visor, you will find that neurly all the orders have been'given about the first of the month.” ‘As to the Sunday orders, he might have made a mistike in the date. Commissioner Purington called for the May orders, and found that Ketly had spuken truly as to their issue; but he also found that none of them called for over $4.50 or $5, while in April Some of them, given to the same people, ran as high as 38. ¢ Kelly explained this by saying that they needed more in the spring, as they bad exbausted their eurplus during the winter. ~ = they keep a bank account?” asked Com- missioner Knopf. “No,” answered Kelly; “but they have credit and it runs out, and then they have to fall back on the county.” ‘Mr. Chamberlain called attention to the fact ‘that Henry Hobday gut as much ($6) in May as “April, though his wife was dead. ‘Kelly thought that was all rigot. Some talk then took place about the coal fur~ ished, the Supervisor saying it was soft coal, ‘and chat be paid #5 a ton for it. COMMISSIONER PURINGTON seid the Committee bad sent for him to explain how it came about thut the April bills were Ja: tbun those for Murch. ‘eily said there was but little difference, and the reason was thata good many of the people had almost money enough to carry them 4hrough the winter, and, when their credit was exhausted, they couldn't starve. An examina~ tion of the orders for the Jast three months would show that there was nota variation of |more than five persons in the number who re- received relief. ‘Mr. Chamberlain remarked that it would be cheaper {oF the county to take care of them at r-House. we hee much ‘are you spending now?” asked . Purington. Me out S00 ‘a month,” replied Kelly. i: a What was the amount in April?” wAPa Ear that was spent before. the elec- a Rankest Congregation of Dead- beats in America. ton: F 6 “The orders were given,” said Kelly, “because itwas the first of the month. not because ap election was to take place. Few of those who receive relief arc voters.” ‘Mr. Chamberlain thought Kelly was cconom- feal. From Sept. 1, 1878, to Aug. 31, 1800. i jef in Lemont was $12,633. Auy. 3l, 1890, which in- cluded four months of Relly’s administration, ‘the amount wus only $5.285,—a reduction of over "87.000. But he thought this was duc to the in- YVestigations of the County Board and the let- ing of the contract for medical services._ For. nine months of this year, however, under Kelly. there had been expénded $5,670, and as near 8s he could get at it the cost would be $1,500 MORE THAY LAST YEAR Kelly accounted for: this by stating that he had to pay nearly double for coal. Each family got one ton a month. “How many families are there?” “Brentbing ies Lite biguer this fa Caner ig. a little er year,” sa! Commissioner Pu mn.

He asked how the -oounty could get rid of paying $6, $8 $10, and the 633. $a month year after-year-to. the paupera of mont. Mase Sie : “There is a way,” said Kelly. “Publish at the post-otlice the names of all who get relief. Aond many would starve before they .would let their names go or the list.” “Occasional injustice would be done by adopting that course,” said Commissioner Pu- ringten; * but as to chronic paupers, that is one of the penalties they ought to suifer.” “They wouldn't care if their names were published. Tke chronic ones have lost all shame and self-respect,” said Kelly, “Is there no other way?” asked Commis- sioner Purington. “Yes,” 1eplied Kelly, laughing, “ annex Le- mont to some other county.” “We hate to make trouble for you down there,” said Commissioner Purington, “ but it seems to be necessary to watch things and have you keep youreyes open. Don't you think it Was a sensible thing for the Board to order twenty-two of those paupers sent to the Poor- House? Kelly didn’t think so, because the people of Lemont didu‘t want them to go. and, besides, muny of them were old and wouldn't live very long. It would cost $10 or $128 month tosup- port one at the Poor- House. Mr. Purington said clothing, food, etc., cost only 35.70. Dir. Chamberlain didn’t think one-third of the Lemont paupers would goto the Poor-House. Once of the twenty-two said she was going to live with her daughter, whose busband ran a canal-bout. Muny were at work now inthe quarries, expecting to live on the county next winter. After some further talk, nothing being de- veloped to show that the bills were {ocorrect, they were ordered paid. THE GRAND JURY. They Remember Tom Burus, the Clark Strect Murderer, aud the Wretched Condition of the County-Building, the Jull, and the Morgue. ‘5 ‘The Grand Jury made a final report yesterday afternoon, and was discharged. Fifty-two true bills: were returned in addition to those re- turned from time totime during the session. Among them was one for maaslaughter against Thomas Buras for the killing of his partner, Charles Edward Bell, on South Clark street, Fri- day morning. - ‘The Jury submitted the following report in reference to some of the iustitudions visited, which is a novelty in its way, because there is very little whitewash about itz THE COUNTY-BUILDING. ‘Attention is again calicd to the rooms and hallways of the Criminal Court Building. Two Grand Juries have already called the notice ot the Criminal Court to this matter, without xap- parentetfect. The building needs a thorough cleaning, from top to bottom. The water does notrun on the upper Hoor, and the absence of water ig only too noticeable. The Hoor of the Criminal Court room is covered partially with ragged matting, which is crusted with the dried expectorations from thousands of unclean theonts. ‘Fhe room occupied by Judge Anthoay ia ja no better condition. The walls and cell- ings of both reoms are covered thick with dust, and in boto court-rooms, as well as in the small- er rooms, there is a GENERAL SLOVELINESS, tor which the Grand Jury can see no reason or excuse. ‘The janitors may be responsible for some of this uncleunliness, but much of it is beyond the help of soap and water, That Committee of the County Commissioners appointed by the Chair man of that body to look after,this building are hereby requested to take noticé of the fact. In the opinion of tbe Grand Jury, the building bas beeu totally neglected by tiem. Every room and hullway needs to be flushed with water, caicimined, and fresh painted, and afterwards keptana condition becoming the owners. In this connection the Grand Jury suggest that the ‘janitor and the general policing of the build- ing be lodged with one ot the departments,— say the Cuunty Clerk or the Clerk of the Crim- inal Court. In order that the proper Committee take notice of the matter, the Judges of the Criminal Court are hereby respectfully requested to call that Committee before them and impress this matter upon their attention. THE BRIDEWELL 5 The Bridewell was visited, in accordance with the instructions of the Court, and special atten- ‘tion paid to the method of the persons confined there and the work done by them. Tho place appears.to be conducted upon a system in which humanity and business principles are repre- sented in just proportions. The brick-making, knitting, ecane-weaving, and other industries ‘are carried forward in a methodical manner, the daily stint of a prisoner being about one-half of what would be called a day’s work on the ou side. Every purtof the institution js _scrupu- lously clean, and the victuals fresh and whole- gomne. Nota dollar of appropriation has been asked for during the past two years. itis sug- vested that enlargement, be made, whereby the arated from the grown persons living and working apart.

It is proposed to make room for fifty boys, and’ the Grand Jury recom- mended tothe proper authorities that the im- ‘provement be mude. . TNE COUNTY JAIL. + What is said of tue County- Building, as to dirt, 4s even more true of the County Jail. In order that the Grand Jury may not be regarded as hypercriticnl, the suggestion is offered that the jail ought two be as clean as the House of Correc- ton. Thirty days’ imprisonment in the jail in its present state would bo a yorse punishment, as to bodily hardship, than a twelvemonth in the Brideweil. ‘The windows are crusted withdirt. The yellow, greasy look of the prisoners 1s at once ex- plained by the foulness of the air. Vermin in- fest a large section of the building. The white- washing is stale and sviled. The fron-work is dirty and rusty. ‘The plan of the building is almost the same as the House of Corcection cor- ridors; but there the air {is pure and fresh, and the steps and railings shining with black paint. Itis well-known that many prisoners ure satis- fied to work rather than remain idle. Andit is not necessary that costly contracts be gone into. Let the Commissioners buy lime, paint, and brushes, and let the prisoners do the work. This is a matter that ought not to be left to the occasional criticism of a Grand Jury, but should be attended to by the Committee on Jail and Jail Accounts of the Board of County Commis- sioners. * THE MORGUE. ‘The Grand Jury found an indescribable, inad- sisting of alow, narrow, one-story, dilapidated brick building, with broken windows, partly Dourded-up, and the only furniture, as faras the dirt would permit us to observe, was an old desk, four old cross-legged stools, and some boxes, one of which appeared to cuntain a dead body.’ No one wisin attendance. Ceputy-Cor- oner Hanson, when culled before us to explain the general neglect, said that dead bodies placed there for identification were sonictimes exten by rate, instancing the case of the corpse of & man whose eyes were caten out, and the face of a child which was nearly devoured by them. Tho building is not fit for a stable. it is near railroad tracks, is difficult of access, with all the surroundings of a re- pulsise and forbidding aspect. Asa morgue, it is a deep disgrace to Cook County.. Respect for both the living und the dead demand that a new morgue, of ampler dimensions, with suitable rooms for Coroner's inquests, be built, with a of residence for x constant attendance. Sneh a building. with all the latest modern it provements, should be built at once in a con- venient place, of easy access to the great body of the people. THE COUNTY HOSPITAL. The Cook County Hospital was found to be ad- mirably managed. Everything was found to be clean, and the victuals wholesome. ———__—_— THE CHICAGO COOKING SCHOOL. ‘To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. CHICAGO TRAINING SCHOOL OF COOKERY, 2230 WABASH AVENUE, June 4.—Inquiries in regard to the practical workings of the Chicago Train- ing School of Cookery have of late been go nu- merous that several ladies have suggested tome the propriety of _n brief statement, through the columns of THe TRIBUNE, of what the school is doing and what it proposes to do in the way of educating cooks and training servants zencrally to properly perform household labor. The school {5 at present prepared to reccive a limit- ed number ot girls on the following terms: They shall give faithful service at housework for one month, at least—the work to be in the depart- ment in which they work to become proficient, ‘and in return therefor shall receive instruction until properly qualified, at which time the ex- amining board of ladies connected with the school will pass upon their cxpubilities and ac- quirements, and give them such diplomus as thoy may be entitled to receive, which diplomas will be of various grades. Where desired, private lessons will also be given in. ladies kitchens eltherto the Jadies themselves oF to their cooks, on general ego! ery, or on special subjects and dishe: Lessons upon such subjects as bread-making, the cooking of meats, etc., will be giveu at the choot accurding to special arrangetnent. Serv- ants will also be taken in training for # certain number of hours each day, where that metnod is preferred to remaining at the school, and for such training a moderate cbarge will be made. There are now several girls xt the school in training as cooks, and as the interest of ladies generally seems to center much more in the fraining of thelr servants than in studying cookery themselves, I have decided to postpone till early autumn the course of lectures adver- tised to commence at Fairbank Hall next Thurs- day, June 9, and for. the present devote all my energies to the training achool.

Let the Court of Chancery Pass on It First. The Bar Association held its regular monthly meeting yesterday afternoon, President E.G. Mason: in the chair, The special order was the consideration of the report by the Committee of Inquiry on the Appleton case, and the disposi- tion thereof. s After the usual preliminary business had been transacted, Mr. George Herbertuffered a resolu- tion providing for a reference of the case to the Committee on Grievances, with instructions to await the results of the judicial proceedings al- ready instituted, it prosecuted with reasonable diligence; otherwise to report at any time in their discretion. In speaking to the resolution, ‘Mr. Herbert took the ground that, as the matter had already been brought into Court, the Asso- ciation could afford to await the result in that. quarter. Whether the testimony on which the Committee had based its report had been taken with duo regard to the sanction of an oath or not, he would not pretend to suy, but Courts bad a way of getting at the truth of matters when other proceedings failed. 1f the Association should now convict, and the judicial proceedings should afterwards acquit and vibdi- cate Mr. Appleton, or vice versa, the Association would be pluced in AN EMBARRASSING SITUATION. In short, it was wise and proper, in bis opinion, to await the result of the judicial proceedings referred to. Mr. Roberts saw no good reason for referring the matter to still another committee. With him it was a question whether the Association would proceed to discipline a member who had proven false to bls trust, or cover up what he had done. .As for the judicial proceedings, they were quite another thing. The Association was on record now, and it was time for action, not for delay. Mr. A.B. Mason observed that the gentle- man’s remarks were bused on the assumption that the testimony cleurly showed guilt. . With all due respect to the Committee and the gentle- man who bad just spoken, he felt that the facts did not justify their conclusions. He was in- formed by the Sccretary that ho was the only member of the Associnnon that had read the testimony, ang the idex of pronouncing upon a man’s cuse, and either indorsing or ruining his reputation, When they hud not read the testi- mony, was simply preposterous. He congratu- luted the gentleman on not Knowing Hughes, thecomplniuunt. In his opinion, the resolution was an entirely proper one, and should be adopted. ; Mr. W. H. King was AGAINST DAMNING ANYBODY while the Court was engaged in dgtermining whether ne was worthy of itor not. Mr. Apple- ton was certainly one of the last men in the profession that he should suspect, and, while the Committee might be right and be wrong, still it was not the proper tine now, when proceedings were pending, to determine that question. Mr. John Lyle King suggested that tne Asso- ciation ought to have printed the Committee's report and an abstract of the testimony, if itre- ally desired to get information. ‘Mr. W. H. King replied that the Association had declined to do that in view of the expense attached, and intimated that his brother with the same name was apparently rather anxious tw convict. ‘This brought out the retort that the gentle- man’s conclusions were entirely unwarranted, «whereupon the gentleman promptly observed that he was very glad to Know that fact. : ‘Mr. Rosenthal was in favor of waiting for the action of the Court, the case having beea placed there by Mr. Appleton. Mr. Otis agreed with him, and commented upon the generally unsat- isfuctory character of committee proceedings, ‘as compared with proceedings jn Court. ‘Mr. Edward Roby asked leave to tlle a protest against any further action in the matter, but the point was raised tbat he was uot a member of the Association, and that toset tne example | of allowing outsiders-to come in and take part in the proceedings would result in its never do- ing any further business. The matter was finaily put to a vote, and the gentleman and protest BARRED OUT. Mr, Collier said the point was whether or not Mr. Appleton bad power to make the deeds in controversy. The judicial inquiry did not touch that question at all, but. was merely directed to- ‘wards an accounting.. To udopt the pending resolution would in’ effect cast a slur on a com~ mittee which bad patiently and conscientiously formed its duty. ao 1 Me Bardy.: ‘Mr. Appleton’s attorney, and Mr. a member ‘of the Association, went into a his- tory of the case. as sct out in the papers in the pending judicial proceedings, claiming that they. “were Intended-to-cover the whole. matter at 1s- sue. He furthermore submitted that all the testimony wus notin, the evidence of Messrs. Dickey and Moran, and all the exhibits, peing jacking. . ‘Mr. John Lyle King, of the Committee on In- guiry. gave a brief history of the inyestigution, leprecating anything like personal feeling on the Committee's part, and defending its action on the ground that it wasundertaken and prose- cuted purely in the interest of the Bar. The guestion whether Appleton owea Hughes or Huches owed Appleton did not come within the purview of the Committee’s duty. The sole duty it bad to perform was to ascertain and re- port whether one of the Association's members had been guilty of unprofessional conduct,—a question which did not and could not, except in the remotest or most indirect way. be deter- mined by a court of chancery. The adoption of the resolution would be an act of injustice to Mr. Appleton and the Association, who would ‘be put in the position of having SHIRKED INVESTIGATION. The Association bad denied itself the privilege of reading a printed digest of the testimony, and now made the absence of the information developed by the investigation an excuse for not wishing to vote on the question. However the Judiciu! proceedings might terminate, they would not relieve the Association of the respon- sibility in which the public held it, nur would they relieve Mr.-Appleton himself. ‘Mr, Dent Inid some stress on the point that Mr. Appleton had first proceeded on the ussumption that Hughes bad no interest in the property in question, whereas he was now put in the posi- aon, in his own bill, of admitting Hughes’ inter- est.’ This was certainly inconsistent, and he was opposed to postponing further action on the re- port. Gen. Stiles did not think a continuance should be granted in order to let a chancellor inquire into another and 2 different mutter,—a matter which affected Appleton and Hughes only, and not: the Association. Mr. Hynes, attorney for Hughes, stated, at the request of the Association, that the Dill in chuncery simply asked for an accounting be- tween Hughes and Appleton, and did not touch the question of unprofessional conduct. ir. W. H. King took tho ground that the whole matter must necessarily come out through the medium of a cross-bill and the other usual legal machinery. Onder the judicial proceed: ings, witnesses could be sworn, as was not dono by the committee, and the exact truth ascer- tained. ‘Mr. Prendergast made the voint that, even in the event of adopting the Committee's report, Mr. Appleton would havea tall chance to be heard in the PROCEEDINGS FOR DISBARMENT before the Supreme Court. Mr. George A. Harding saw no reason for tak- ing the matter to one Court when it was already in another, and iuquired the reason for so rauel apparent haste to have the Association do one thing or the other. Col. Cooper saw no merit In the argument for delay on the ground of the pending judicial pro- ceedings, but thought the Association should re- consider its action in refusing to print an ab- stract of the testimony. Gen.

SHELVED TEMPORARILY. ‘The question was then put on the adoption of the resolution as amended. The responses were so low that no one, not possessed of un acute hearing, would have risked much on the resuit had it been submitted tothe testof a roll-cull. But the President evidently heard a greater volume of noise from the. ayes than be did from the noes, and the resolution was de- clared adopted. There wasa call for a division, but it came too late. ‘Mr. Robert Hervey presented a series of reso- lutions in connection with thedeath of the Hon. Charles Hitchcock, which were adopted, and the meeting adjourned. —<—<—— ATHLETICS.

JEFFERSON, Ill, June4—In an article to-day regarding the mavagement of the Cook County Insane Asylum at Jefferson, and the treatment of Mr. Yetter and Mrs, Courtney, the writer states only one side of the case, and that with- out regard to facts. Had your writer taken the trouble to investisate the matter, he would have found that both the patients alluded to were received at this place in a very poor, im- poverished state of health, mental and physical; ‘and that during thelr stay here they received every necessary attention. As to Mrs. Court- ney, I would say that sbe was removed upon my advice: mentally she appeared tobe tmproved, "- May, through an attack of xastro-enteritis.. She was given alt the foud she wunted, and could take all the.wine and milk. oi Yetter, ulso, has bad the beat ishment tho house could and milk, and substantial ho could be —_ Induced ~.to . take’ it. There bave been times when wo were com- pelled to feed bio, using necessary force; at other times he would eat everything. I have no dount but that be consumed the strawberries his. wife brought him, leaves and all, if he was in the, notion, for there are times when he would con-' sume anything. Mr. Yetter is a most difficult patient to get: along with. Unless kept under the immediate care of an attendant, he js teasing and torment-.. ~ {ng some other patient, thereby constantly get- ting into trouble. Not many days ago bs lukew a bowl of hot soup in the face of another pa- tient, and received 2 smart blow on the jaw before the nurse could interfeto.. The juw was not, nor bas it been, seriously injured. He has received no serious injury of uny kind; fa fact, be has received more specia! caretban any other patient in nis ward, becduse he needed it. It must be remembered that to control and care for nearly 500 insane persons with thirty-two at- tendants {s no stnull task, and any sane person knows that sometimes ‘things will bappen that we regret, but {sit not remarkable that in a crowded insane hospital there is not some serious accident dally? T would be pieased for the writer of the articte in question to call and investizate the manage- ment at any time and at any hour. . Weare always pleased to sce uny person faterested in the management of insane persons, and are’ ready at all times to give them acoevs to ail parts of the Hospital. Ino week's residence. here or in any other hospital for insane would be enough to satisfy most persons dis] to censure, and incline them to do justice to those who Hive constantly among the (nsane, and who give thoir best energies toward elevating their condition and promoting their comfort. Come and see for yourselves. Very respectfully. ~ J. M. Spuay, Medical Superintendent. ON THE QUESTION OF LUNACY. ‘Te the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. .. (Catcago, June 3.—In the Morning News of to- day is a2 conspicuous editorial with tho above caption, In which the sentiments uttered with. perfect propriety by ex-Presideat Hayes, to the effect that Mr. Conkling had become a monoma- niac on the subject of. hisown importance, are boldly transferred to the lips ‘of 3tr. Garfleld, and, as such, are made the text for a bitter critl- ciam upon the President, who is thus made to appear as’“dishonoring his high position by making & most serious and bold-faced charge"’ against a person * who happens to be in the po- sition of a political opponent.” : ‘The virulent attacks upon President Gartleid and his Administration which have become the leading teature of the Dforning News, while the might be relished by the constituency of ‘suek papers as the Memphis <ivalanche, are not read with Inlligent approval ‘In this tati- tude. The political fosincerity of the ews is well understuod, and ita defection from the Republican party, wheo that urty defeated Gen. Grant and put its foot upon imperialistic tendencies within the party at the Chleago Convention, is well remembered. The News is rapidly making for itself a reputation for unscrupulous journalism, and ig stultifyinx its own vain boast of **carefut editing.” A In the sume paper is another editorial, in which, referring to Mabone and his juaters, itsays: “Some other Repubilcan statesmen, if not President Gurtleld and. bis advisers, aro be- ginning to think that they nave nothing to gain from an ulliance with the politicians in Virginia who made repudiation of debts tholr bousted policy,” etc., ctc., thus attempting to cust a slur upon tho President by fynoring, or ratker per- vertimg, the well Known fact: that Senator Ma- hone went back to Virginia much cast down be- cause the Admjnistration was not disposed to turn {ts back upon the large Kepublican orvani- zation in that Stute by giving uid aud comfort to Mahone and his Readjusters.
