TOTAL APPROPRIATION OF $113,043 New Building and Crematorium Among the Items. WORK OF THE INMATES The annual report of Intendent Stouten- burgh of the Washington Asylum was sub- mitted to the Commissioners today In Introducing his report the intendent makes his estimates for the amount needed to support the Institution for the year ending June 30, 1800, as fellows: For contingent expenses, including pro- visions, fuel, forage, drugs and medicines and other necessary articles, based on a daily average of 528 persons supported the past year, at $100 each per annum, $52,800, For the erection of building for nurses’ home, including heating and bathing facili- ties, $4,500. For beds, bedding and general furnish- ing for the same for ten persons, $1,000. For erection and expenses for one year of a crematorium for the disposal of bodies in connection with potter's field, with vault attached, for the reception of bodies held for identification, $25,000, For general repair to buildings, including painting, glazing, repairs to steam heating and cooking apparatus, and completion of resurfacing walls and floors of almshouse and male workhouse, $2,500. For the erection of a building for the care of the colored women of the alms- house department, who are now housed on the fourta floor of that building, $7,000. The Salary List. For salaries: One intendent, $1,200; one visiting physician, $1,080; one resident physician, $480; one clerk, $00; one prop- erty clerk, $460; one matron, $600; one partment, $365; $900; six housekeeper for hospital de one baker, $420; one overseer, 300 each, $3,600; one male r femal+ werkhouse, $610: ore cer, $0); one first assistant € che second assistant engineer, ineer for hospital department, tchmen, at $3 *. an, $48; one carpenter, $0; one blacksmith and woedwerker, $400; one driver for dead wagon, $365; one hestler and driver, $210; one female keeper one en: seven W one night at workhouse, $300; one female keeper at $1so; werk house four cocks at $60 en 3200, Tu one trained nurse, $420; each, $480; two cooks, five nurs at 3180 each, mates, $113,043. The male pri: at the workhouse have Deen divicei into several gangs, und principally empioyed in grading streets, alleys, etc., in the eastern section of the under the direction of the engineer urtment. A large amount of work has complished for the benctit of which could not have been done otherwise, there being no funds avail- able for this purpose. The male prisoners not employed in street grading and other public work have been at work in the shop and in cultivating the farm connected with the institution. The imated value of labor performed by the oners is shown by the following sum- 9; in stables, 344.50; in each.

Value of the Products. The estimate value of preduce, &c., raised on the farm and consumed on the place was placed at $4,122.23. In his recapitulation, the sum of en account of labor, is placed to the credit of the institution. In urging the appropriation for the con- struction of a building for colored wom Mr. Stoutenburgh repeats the argum he made a year ago, stating that building asked for is very much needed during the winter months the main su ture is very much crowded. As many as seven beds are at times placed in one small room, he says. Nearly all ef these old women are unable to go up or down stai and are carried to their rooms and th remain until again ried cut. They would be infinitely more comfortable in a low, plain building, with wide porches, where they could be put out in the open it weather. In the present great danger of serious loss of e exists in case of fire. The intendant deems this the most irgportant ef all im- provements asked for. Need of Crematorium. The item of $25,000 for the erection of a crematorium for the disposal of the in- digent dead of the District he also deems a ners consis s the j very important matter, as the remaining grounds are fast ‘filling up. The number of burials in potter’s field for the past year Of this number only 55 were in- mates of this institution, the remainder having been gathered from other institu- tions and from the District at large. the disposition and burial of all S comes directly under the orders of th officer, Mr. Stoutenburgh says understands the needs for suc! crematorium, and the recommendations he makes in favor of the construction should have great weight with Congress. The estimate of $4,500 for the erection of a building for the accommodation of a corps of nurses is strongly urged by Dr. a8 physician to the tnstitu- who the establishment of a s' training school at this hospital. 4m not prepared,” comments the in- tendent, “to say that I am in favor of such a school at present, but I am strongly in favor of a corps of efficient nurses, and before they can be comfortably maintained a suitable building is necessary for their living quarters. Th n for special repairs includes the resurfacing of about 1,000 yards of floor- ing in the male work house, and the paint- ing of about 1,000 squares of tin roofing, all of which is necessary for the preserva- tion of the buildings. The effects of the storm of September 29, 1806, are given in detail, and the in- tendent reports that all damages have been repaired and the buildings put in good shape. This entirely used up the appropri- ation for repairs, and a balance due was paid from the contingent fund. ‘The intendent renews his recommendation ef last year for an increase in the compen- Sation of the blacksmith and woodworker, who is a skilled mechanic, and who re- celves at present a compensation, of only #25 per month. Central Heating Station. “The appropriation of $4,000 of last year fer a central heating station for the build- ings composing the rospital department of the institution having been found insuffi- cient,” Mr. Stoutenburg reports, “no work was done in that direction last year, but an itional sum of $4,500 having been appro- priated at the last Congress to finish the work, the 29th of June last, excavating was commenced for the central station, and the plant is now well on its way to comple- tion. “The sanitary condition of the almshouse workhouse and hospital has been satisfac- tery. There have, been some cases of ma- leria, probably owing to the proximity of the institution to the marshes of the East- ern branch, but otherwise the health of the inmates has been fairly good.” The average number maintained during the year, Including employes, was 528; cost per capita, $83.29. ‘The appropriation for the support of the institution for the past year was us fol- lows: For contingent expenses, $44,000; ex- pended, $42,350.36; outstanding bills, esti- mated, $1,631. total, $43,981.48.

Committee of Sunday School Compiling the Data. Mr. Jerome F. Johnson, the chairman of the committee in charge of the house-to- house canvass, which was recently under- taken under the auspices of the Sunday School Union of the District, said this merning that the work had now: been com- pleted, and while the returns had not as yet been compiled, still as fast as the r ports frcm the various districts are re- ceived the information which they contain is being utilized. id the names of those reported by canvassers as expressing a preference for any one particular church are being sent fo the pastors of the churches as fast as they are received. In the case of one of the prominent city churches a list of 138 names of persons, who were not attend- ing any church, but who expressed a pre- ference for that particular organization, had been sent to the pastor. it is also found, he added, that these reports con- tain information which will be of value to the Y. M. C. A. and the Central Union Mission, as well as to the pastors of the churches, and it is the purpose to send this data to the places where it can be best utilized. He thought what the can- vass as coaducted would be productive of much gcod as soon as the information se- cured was placed in the hands of those who could utilize it. Mr. Johnson said as much was accom. plished by the canvass as cculd reasonably expected, and he thought those who had their time to this important work couid well feel rep: by the results which would flow from it, net only now but in the future. As this was the first attempt made to canvass the entire city at one time, he said it had been found naturally that improvements could be made in several particulars, if a similar effort is made neat year. Fer exampie, he was of the opinion that a canvass of this character should be made the first Friday and Saturday in November.

Westerner Proposes to Play Guiteau in Certain Contingency. Two items of interest to the local police officials appeared in the dispatches sent from Chicago last night and printed in today’s papers. One was about a man who makes a conditicnal threat that he may become a seccnd Charles Guiteau. This man’s name is given as George Scholder, and, accerding to his statement, he belongs in Otter Creek, Iowa. Yesterday he enter- ed Senator W. E. Mason's law office in Chicago and made this statement: “If I do not get my just deserts I may become a second Charles Guiteau, and there will be serious trcuble for President McKinley.” Scholder said a few years ago he was the owner of a large tract of land in eastern Kansas, and was swindled out of It through litigation, and now he wants the President to assist him in regaining the property. He had called on Senator Mason in order to persuade the latter to assist him in securing what he wanted from Mr. McKinley. “If I don’t go to Washington,” sai: man, “I will go to Kansas.” Sanitary Officer Frank has not yet heard from the westerrer. The police will keep a lookout for the man, and arrest him should he reach the city. The other item referred to was the order issued by Chief of Police Kipley of Chicago discharging 434 members of the police force and appointing in their places as many members of the “Star League” ex-police- men. The members of the league were dis- missed under former Chief Badenoch, Chief Kipley’s republican _ predecessor. What is surprising about the action taken yesterday is the fact that four detectives who were conspicuous in the Luetgert murder trial were dropped. Local police- men, speaking of the wholesale change, say that such action for political purposes will undoubtedly impair the efficiency of any force. The discharge of the four officers who figured in the Luetgert case, they think, may affect and weaken the prosecu- tien in the event of another trial of the famous case. the How a person can gain a pound a day by taking an ounce of Scoti’s Emulsion is hard to explain, but it certainly happens. It seems to start the digestive ma- chinery working properly. You ob- tain a greater benefit from your food.
