The balance of this building contained twenty-five cots, all of which were occupied. It will thus be seen that the county affords support for about eighty inmates at the present time, and that they are crowdcrYinlo about as small a space as would seem possible. And yet, as win- ter comes on, many more must be {)r vided for, and many of those will be obliged to put up with beds upon the floor. THE HIRED HELP. Mrs. Mahoney, the matron, appears to be the principal head of the institu- tion, the superintendent being much of the time at the court house. The em- ployes consist of a laundress, a cook for the general kitchen and one for the family kitchen, each of whom are said at the Douglas county poor farm could | to receive 818 per month for their ser- not be secured by a cursory visit to the institution when everything was on dress parade, and being desirous of giv- ing the public a chance to see the place in its every-day aspects, THE BEE de- tailed a reporter for a week, as a pauper, at the poor farm. He was told to go there a8 an inmate, see what was to be seen, take notes, and then give the readers of the paper the story of his visit, A DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAC! The institution is situated on Thirty- sixth street, justsouth of Poppleton avenue, and is surrounded by large grounds with plenty of shade. 'The building is an L-shaped two-story brick, with basement. The main part is occu- pied principally by the superintendent, J. J. Mahoney, and his family,the south side of the basement being used as u kitchen and dining room, the first floor as living rooms, and in the second story the south half is occupied by the pau- pers. Thirteen cots are crowded into the room. The northeast corner of the second floor and front or east end of the hall, are set apart for the resident phy- sician, who, by the way, during the r« porter’s temporary residence there, wi o student named Yatas. The north- west corner of the main building on the second floor is known as the nursery, and in this were, as near ascould be learned,three women with babies rang- ing from three weeks to two months of age. The L isoccupied on the main floor by the insane and is divided into cells into which they are locked at night, Nive women and seven men are thus provided for. On the second floor of the L are two wards which are known the male and female sick or hospital wards. The female ward has accommo- dation for twelve and was full. The male ward is also provided with twelve cots, which were occupied nearly all the time. In the basemeut of the L are rooms for the storage of vegetables, milk-room, bread-room, meat-room and the general kitchen where food is pre- * pared for the inmates. The north half of the basement of the main building is . used as a dining-room for the paupers. . Immediately in the rear of the building is a one-story frame, in a rather delapi- dated condition, used as a laundry and bath house. A little to the south of this is situated the coal house and next on the south is a small house, probabl not more than 12x12 feet, which is use ° a8 & morgue or dead-house, as the fin- * mates arc pleased to term it, and in which the dead are immediately placed. To the south of this is & one-stor frame, in the southeast corner of whicl is a small room which is used by the vices. A nurse is employed in the nur- sery at $20 per month. The insane ward js in charge of a young man who was formerly an inmate, and who now re- ceives the munificent sum of $15 per month and board, and occupies a cot in the ward first mentioned. Each of the wards is in charge of an inmate, who is expected to wash the windows and scrub the floor, The other inmates who are able assist in this and all other work that is to be done about the house or premises. Two male inmates are kept busy in the general kitchen. THE REPORTER’S ARRIVAL. On Tuesday, September 18,the writer, arrived with the proper authority for admission, \\'uudc(fl his way to thefarm, and after the usual inquivies was ad- mitted and assigned to a cot. Beingan invalid, extra blankets were asked for, which the superintendent ordered pro- vided. Then life as u pauper was fairly commenced, and the new inmate wan- dered out into the yard and orchard for inspection of the rest of Douglas county’s poor and insane. THE BILL OF F Life at the institution same from day to day, being varied only by an occasional outburst from one of the insane patients. Breakfast is served on week days at about 8 o’clock. Itcon- sists of cold meat, potatoes boiled with their jacketson and some times warmed up in fat; bread and coffee, the latter with milk and sugar. The bill of fare for dinner is corned beef, hash, boiled potatoes, coffee and bread. For supper the diet 1s changed, and the meal con- sists of coffee, bread, syrup with flie; and one of the three delicacies—dried peaches stewed, prunes stewed, and dried apples ditto. On Saturday, September 22, “we pau- " were permitted to regale our ap- petites at breakfast with boiled ham (the first mouthful of which the writer was compelled to deposit under the E. is much the tle interest. The remains were left i the morgue until Tuesday. On Wednesday, just before the din- ner hour, there was quite a little com- motion on the porch at the entrance of the sick ward }nr males, and the super- intendent went up. It was soon quiet and none of us knew just what had hap- pened. But after dinner Mr. Mahoney said that a man had died from typhoid fever. After dinner, and while many of the inmates were seated on the benches in the yard, the two farm hands proceeded to the room witn a shutter, picked up the remains, covered them with a sheet and conveyed them to the morgue, where they remained until the foilowing afternoon, when they were placed in a box and taken to Forest Lawn cemetery, where the county’s potter’s field is located. On the same evening a Mrs. Olesen, residing near the base ball grounds, died of typhoid fever, and the authori- ties of the poor-house being notified, brought the remains and placed themin the morgue at the r-house, where they werz left until the following after- noon. While preparations were being ‘made for their final disposal an order was received to move the remains of a child from the same house, and the mother and child were buried together. The father then, worn out by nursing, came to the county hospital and it was supposed he, too, had typhoid fever, but he only remained until the follow- ing Tuesday. Two or three other chil- dren were sick with the same disease, but they were cared for by the neigh- bors during the absence of the fatherat the poor-house. FOLLOWED BY A 8PY. The day following the reporter’s ar- rival at the farm a man came with an order from Commissioner Mount. His appenance and versation did not indicate that he was a common pauper, and the two soon fell into conversation. From him it was learned that a com- plaint had been made by some inmate, and he supposed that some one had been detailed to play the spy in the in- terest of County Atforney Simeral. He said he was sent there by Commissioner Mount, but for what purpose he was seemingly ignoraut, or purpc avoided telling. He scemed suspi of the reporter, and had evidently been sent to watch him. In discussing the farv he said that he would not stay long, but at another time thought he could stand it as long as they could pay him for it. TIIE INMATES, The inmates are for the most part for- eigners, and among them are Irish, Swedes, Germans and Bohemians. Dur- ing the wintersome Italians were provid- ed with entertainment at this hostelry. table), potatoes fried and boiled, and | Some of them ara insane, but harmless, coffee. Dinner on the same date was served at 12:30, and consisted of coffee, bread, potatoes and mutton chops. The mutton, however, was mostly bones,and what meat there was on it was so tough that it could not be cut, and it was not eaten by many. peaches stewed and coffoe we at 5 p. m. for supper. On Sunday only two meals are served, The first is at 9 o’clock. At this meal Bread, syrup, dried | medicine for several gyears. most of them having served a term at Lincoln.

He is seventy-three years of age,an excellent the ham of the day before was dished | conversationalist, but is far from neat up again, together with fried and boiled | about his person. potatoes.” At 3 o'clock in the afternoon came the second meal, consisting of soup, potatoes, bread and coffee. Milk was also furnished for the coffee, but it was t0o old to use. THE DEATH ROLL. One poor mortal be- lieves himself a policeman and adorns his breast with the star of authority. He is constantly telling what he will do when he gets into the new building. THOSE IN AUTHORITY. One would suppose by the manner in It was on that afternoon that the first | which some of the inmates order others death occurred at the farm since the re- rter’s arrival, umate, but the incident caused but lit~ The victim wasa male | all around that they were invested with suthority. ~ They ' have been requested to 1ook after the crazy people, and thus invested they do not fail to ex ercise their authority. One man re- marked that he did not think it proper for one inmate to abuse and club an- other, and yet he said that he had seen such things. CLEANING DAY. Wednesday and Saturday are general cleaning days, when all the wards are serubbed. During the first part of the reporter’s stay he was very much an- noyed at night. Although given a cot by himself he found that it was occupied and that the occupants contested his claim by vigovrous piting. On Tuesday the ward which he occupied was cleaned out and the bugs were slaughtered by the million, so that his last night was, quito a peaceful one, his possession of the bed being,in a measure, undisputed. GLAD TO GET OUT. The reported has expressed the sin- cere hope that he will not be compelled to again seck refuge at this institution, for in giving this to the public he has stretched one of the rules of the farm, which reads, that inmates shall not carry tales to outsiders under penalty of expulsion or such other punishment as the superintendent may see fit to inflict. i L ELDUCATIONA L. The Hopkins memoral fund for Williams college has reached $34,000, The city council of New Orleans has not elected a school board this autumn, and none of the public schools are running. Princeton university entered last week upon thie 142d year of its existence and under its twelfth president. The entering c'ass of o year numbers about one hundred and fifty. The college department of the university of Pennsylvania_began its 135th term Sep- tember 20. The incoming freshman class is, with one exception, the largest that ever en- tered the university, A very practical movement is on foot at the Young Women's Christian association of Boston, it being no less than the inaugura- tion of classes to go through a full techunical course of training in household art and do- mestic economy. Andover theological seminary opens this year with very excollent propects. There are forty-five students, of wnom two are res- ident licentiates, ten members of the post- graduate class, eight seuiors, eleven mid- dlers and fourteen juniors, the largest enter- ing class since 1879, Cornell university opens on September 2 under unusually favorable circumstan, The entering class will be the largest in the history of the institution y, The uggregate number in attendance i8 not likely to fall short of 1,200,and it may considerably exceed that figure, This wall give an increase of apbout two hundred over last year, English students ape under the spell of Orientalis Occult sience is the r of the latest ‘‘circlea” 18 the “Esoteric of the Ked-Wafer botherhood.” The jocose though learncd New York World thinks this may not be buite as old as that famous fra- ternity, the “Low-Anté Quartet of the Jack- Pot Jugglers,” but i#s mysteries are less dun- gerous to the novi Harvard opened September 27.

Yokes and yoke effects are seen on young ladies’ fall costumes. Very long scarfs of black lace in various fine patterns are imported. Fur trimmings for late autumn coats of colored cloths aro black fur, Alaska sable, fox, and Persian lambskin, The new corduroy fabrics are called Bed- ford cords, and show novel patterns in silk wool, which have proved very popular. For early autumn wear royal foilles with strips formed by slender vines of small brill- iants, roses, sprays, and autumn foliage in natural colors are very popular. Dark marine blue jackets, with brown gimp fastenings and cords, are trimmed with sealskin, and the Dbright golden cloths have trimmings of black fox or astrakhan. @Al the simpler forms of the Directoire costume are furnished with plain slecves, but there are fanciful combinations to which full ones may be applied, Some of the richest staffs for new fall mantles simulate velver figures, held on to the rich silk grounds by embroinery stitches of gold thread, or else silk of a contrasting color., Cloaks of byzantine figured camel's hair are pleated from the shoulders down, and open over pleated fronts of changeable vel- vet held in place by a girdle of passemente- rie that repeats the velvet's colors. Alpine hats of striped or checked cloth and exceedingly low-crowned turbans of felt are worn by stylish young women who adopt English fashions, and with these the back hair is arranged with a Psyche knot, Among the new tailor-made costumes are those of dark, laurel-green Hungarian ar- mure, the long artistic draperies arranged over a plain skirt of Suede cloth decorated with bands of green and gold galloon. Most_dress skirts are made either with flat plaits down the front and sides, reaching from belt to hem, or with long Greek over- dresses that are so lightly draped as to cover nearly the whole of the underskirt frout and back. The enormously full back draperies now worn require tapes and tacking galores on their under side, else they fall quite away from grace or beauty and acquire a-lopsided- ness peculiarly their own, and more pecul- iarly aggravating. Long loops of ribbon velvet, that do not even pretend to any connection with the gir- dle, flaunt or dangie at the sides of many new flat skirts, and save their wearers many of the complications necessarily incident to the empire sash on an awkward wearer. Mrs. Laura Johus and Mrs. Fanny Rastall will organize a Woman’s Council in the state of Kansas, the first meeting to be held just after the state W.C.T. U. convention.” A similar council will be organized in connec- tion with the Ohio centennial in Columbus, October 13. QCostly French jerseys are covered with bands of silk passementerie in arabesque and scroll d The handsomely trimmed Russian waists are also made of silkwrap, light-weight jersey cloth, with Russian sash of the same, knotted at the left side, the long peplum ends falling low on the dress skirt. Miss Emily Sartain has been elected to succeed the late Dr. Rachael Bodley as a member of the school board in the Twenty- ninth ward of Philadelphia. The voters of the ward had but recently re-elected Dr. Bodley, and the board followed their will in choosing & woman for her successor., The “Senorita” is a charming jacket of velvet adapted for dressy house wear by maidens and young matrons. It is close-fit- ting at the back, and barely reaches the waist, In front it fastens with a silver or jet clasp, and then parts broadly in rounding shape over a shirt-waist of surah fastened all the way up with fancy buttons, A rather elegant redingote gown for au- tumn is the duchess, made of dove-gray soldier's cloth and trimmed with a single row of fine gold and vassementerie. There is a full drapery of cloth at the back gathered closely and applied to the center forms of the bodice portion. The sleeves are half open and lined with gray and gold shot surah.

Woman suffrage, peace, co-education, temperance and the condition of women generally were reported and discussed, and great improve- ments of late years were acknowledged. The new uutumn jerseys are made of fab- rics of a degree or finencss they have never before obtained. Some of the English-woven models are richly embroidered in Oriental designs; others are decorated with fine gold or silver braid work or braid in soutache, this in two distinct colors, the braids lying side by side on the outline of the intricate patterns, Mrs. Wesley Cameron, who lives in Clar- ion county, Pa., durmg the last summer killed seventeen rattlesnakes, five copper- heads and three blacksnakes. Mrs. Cameron has been raised in_the snake region, and is proud of her proficiency in killing them, Miss Sue Blakely, a pretty young lady of Warren county, killed two rattlesnakes in the morning and was married that evening. Plain Lyons velvet will be in great use this winter. It will not only share a prom- inent part in millinery, wraps, and expensive tailor-made dinner und tea gowns, but will obtain prime mmportance in robes of high ceremony, forming a distinguishing compo- nent in the elegant art toilets now elected for, and, besides its use for reception and ball dresses, will also constitute an impor- tant feature in costly wedding gowns. Bonnets of scarlet cloth or of a_quieter hue, combined with black velvet, will serve for wear with street gowns of any color, while for dress 10ns there are toques of velvet in long folds up and down the crown and standing higher in front that are further encircled with a row of velvet roses, without foliage, and in strong contrast, ns salmon pink or dull red, and white upon' dull green which are no end stylish, and to our mind monstrous ugly. —_— The Auditorium Building. Chicago Times: Eight of the ten stories of the new Auditorium building are now completed, and the other two are well under way, being completed on one front and well under way on the others. When completed it will be one of the most impressive buildings in Chicago, and the persons interested in it will have one more reason to be proud of it than they have heretofore calcu- lated on. Tt is likely to prove a pa. investment, whereas it was unde purely asa’ public enterprise w expectation of profit. The Auditorium association has a capital of $1,500,000, of which $1,250,000 has been subscribed for by 180 stockholders. Kight- of this capital has been called in in eight equal installmer The building will be occupied by the Auditorium hal and by a hotel, which will nearly have ! four hundred rooms, and for other pur- pOS e, e made into offic stood that it will b rental than was at first calculated on. The original capital will not be suffl- cient to complete the building, and itis proposed now to either increase it or to issue bonds. The total cost of the build- ing will be about 82,000,000 when ready for occupuney. The hotel has not yet been leased or named, but_several “parties are nego- tiating for it. Banks say the bonds, if issued, can be sold at par, and will be a ilt-edged investment, as they will have $1,500,000 behind them in cash, paid in by the representative people of Chi- cago.

About five years ago a representative of some Irish woolen mills came to the United States to direct the attention of American clothing manufacturers 'to cloths manufactured from Irish wool on Irish looms. The field for imported cloths had been already ¢losely occupied for years by imports from Great Brit= ain, France, Germany and other Euro= pean countries, so that it was a work of extreme difficulty to find an opening for other goods. Fortunately, however, for the success of Irish enterprise, the samples exhibe ited came under the personal observa= tion of A. Shuman, the head of the great Boston clothing manufacturing firm of A. Shuman & Co., who after careful ex= amination at once perceived the supe= rior excellence of the new fabrics in point of durability and beauty of design for men’s business suitings and boys' wear. The firm gave the Irish vepresentative some trial orders. On their arrival in Boston th goods were made into garments witl exceptional care on the premises of the firm, and they proved so satisfactory ta the purchasers that two years later M A. Shuman proceeded to Ireland, whe| in the principal woolen mills he wite nessed all the processes of manufacturs ing from the scouring of the wool to the finishing of the cloth. As an immediate result of this invess tigation he placed large orders for first= class grades of goods only, in the hands of the [rish manufacturers. Since then the manufacture of Irish friezes, chev- ots and tweeds has received a wonderful impetus. The extensive importationg of these goods by the Messrs. Shuman & Co., who are the largest manufactur- ers of first-cluss clothing in New Enge land, can now be found distributed throughout the entire country in the best retail stores of all the principal towns and cities. Their superior excels lence as to each garment is guaranteed by the importers and manufucture The chief feature in which these Irish cloths excel all others of like grade ig th jor durability owing to this peculiar characteristic of Irish wool, that it possess the longest fibre of an; i in the world, That mldcs to another equally lmRuru\m fact which is that the twelve leading mills manu= facture only the best raw material, | thercby ensuring a fabric which is ag | highly ereditable to this rapidly devels i oping Irish industry as to the enters | prise of the Boston firm which has age sted so materially in its development. Among the mills with which orders have been placed we may mention the Mahoney's, of Blarney, Hill & Son, of Lucan, "Dublin, Claytons of Navan, | Dripsey of Cork, O’Brien of Cork, Smith & Gleason of Athlone, and Mar< uis of Waterford, Kilmacthomas, Waterford., Tt is very evident that the woolen industry for which Ireland was once as famed as she is now for the man ufacture of linen, has taken a new amn vigorous start, the possibilities which can hardly be estimated in the good results which must inevitably flow from it. Messrs. Robinson & Garmon have ses cured control of these goods for Omah and vicinity, They will cheerful] show them to all visitors., Monday only, v et W. §.
