THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE.
The Committee OF Westchester county Supervisors
engaged In the Investigation OF the charges made
against the keeper OF the Poor House met at that ins
tuition yesterday forenoon. The buildings, which con-
tain present about 400 paupers, situated IN the
town OF Mount Pleasant, and distant six seven

greater portion OF the day the committee devoted
their attention TO examination oil the
books anu other accounts running through series or
years With one or two minor exceptions IL was
found that all OF the articles sold, as testified to by
witnesses, credited on the books. The books
evidenced that the keeper had charged himself with
the pasturing Of his horse the county farm, and
with the work done for himself ny the poor nouso
teams. These charges, although made during the
years OF 1916 we're not, however, found credited
ia the last annual report of the Superintendents
OF the Poor This omission IS attributed by
the keeper to neglect. 1t is asserted
that they will be found In the next annual report No
entries found eggs sold, the keeper regarding
them as pcrquistes having Obtained permission from
the Superintcndents to keep fowls OF his own on the
iarm Two inmates OF the Poor House, on being sworn
Tor the defence, testified TO having lived there for
several years they pever knew OF the keeper striking

Relieve me, sir, there Is more sense IN

OF "Rab aud his Friends" contends that
"wat'' is much wetter word than "wet.'
I am not Scotsman enough to feel that,
but do know that our Virginia
word "peth" is much lighter than
"pith.' "Pith'' might sink, but
"peth'' never. So again, "yoller' is an
