The Orphans' Home.

The average number of inmates Of the
State Orphans Home for the last two
years has been approximately 4s 1924,
and the cost Of their maintenance per
capita has been annually about 1888, or
about 70 cents per day, or further, about
S21 per month. This includes board,
lodging, clothes, tuition, medical attention
and every other expenditure incurred for
children in a comfortable home. All the
potatoes and vegetables consumed are
raised on the ground, ten acres of which
are under cultivation. The nine fine cows
belonging to the institution are fed on the
finest hay raised on the farm. The prin-
cipal diet Of the children is the delicious
rich milk given by the Durham COWS,
which are kept rolling fat and almost as
clean as though they We're curried and
brushed every day. A big bowl of milk
and plenty of fresh bread is the first course
that the little orphan boys and girls give
tielr attention to morning and evening,
while at noon they take a cold lunch Of
bread and butter and boiled meat. They
nave, OF course, a variety of plain whole
some edibles to be chosen from, but they
prefer generally bread snd milk, which
tney consume in prodigious quantities.
sickness among them is of very rare co.
~nurrence. Those who have the oare Of
the orphans are the Superintendent and
Matron. an Assistant Matron, a cook and
4 laundress.

WHITE PINE ITEMS.

Cherry Greek News, Jan. 10.
Sheriff Lander has appointed G. M.

appointment.
There is less snow on the road to Ham
ilton now than there has been for years
at this season.
j. H. Lockwood has been elected
Chairman of the Board Of County Com
missioners. A good selection.
L. N. Robinson and Ed. Raum have been

selection.
Treasurer Liddle is making his Office at

WHO Is
Something for Commissioners to
Reflect Upon.


Reflect Upon.
White Pine News: COMMISSIONS J. II.
Lockwood telegraphs us from Hamilton
that Expert Horn has made a thorough
examination Of the late County Treasurer's
books and that he found them to agree in
all respects with the books Of the Auditor.
He also informs us the deficit in the treas
ury is S11, 1902 SO. An order has been
made by the Board, authorizing the Clerk
to notify the bondsmen Of the late Treas
urer to come forward and settle this de-
fcienoy with the county. While we be-
lieve the Board has taken the proper ac-
ton in the premises-their frat duty Is to
save the county from loss, stili we are not
so sure that the bondsmen can be held re-
| sponsible (even il the theory OF suicide be
admitted), and it is not likely they will re-
spond to the call of the Board until all
legal means fail them. The bondsmen, or
at least some of them, claim that the
| Board has been derelict in duty, and are
| alone responsible under the law; that
! they (the Board) have not exercised the
| due vigilance in the county's interest
| which the law provides. They also claim
| that on the death of Charles Karbstein,
| one of the bondsmen, the Board failed to
| compel the Treasurer to file additional
| bond as was their plain duty to do. Not
| knowing that such was the case, we are not
| prepared to say whether the Board laid
themselves liable aud invalidated the re-
| sponsibility Of the other sureties or not.

ing Library are to give an entertainment
the last week of the month, when the two
act comedy of q "Bull in a China Shop"
will be presented by local talent. The
Thursday evening soirees of Mr.. Alt at the
Carson Theater are fairly attended, and
the Saturday evening parties by Hall &
Meder, at the Opera House, are the most
popular affairs of the kind ever known
here. The music, consisting Of six pieces,
is as fine as ever a Ballenberg furnished
with the same number Of instruments.
The Madison Square Company will play
''Esmeralda" at the Opera House on the
18th instant. On the 30th and 31st in
stants we are to have an "Uncle Toms
Cabin" and Leavitt's All Star Specially
Company in the order here given, to be
followed by Katharine Rogers, who, sup
ported by a good stock company, will give
us three or -four nights of the legitimate
during the first week of next month. For
menagerie lovers, or those who have a
fondness for the sportive tiger, the play
full but sometimes treacherous animal is
brought out daily and nightly in at least
foul places on Carson street. Dropping
the figurative, which might not be under
stood by many of the SENTINEL's readers,
let it be remarked hat Carson is now run
ming four faro games, and all appear to be
well patronized. What a distinction-lev-
eier the gaming table is, to be sure Even
the overworked solon, the ~irregularly fed
guerrilla" the Summer-clad sleeper
hunter,' the man with his thousands and
the fellow without his ''starter," are all
equal before the law-the law of the
dealer, case-keeper and the lookout"
TO RENO AND RETURN.
An excursion party, numbering about
100 persons-legislators, attaches, women

sionists are to return to Carson this even

Elsewhere in the SENTINEL this morning

ing capital gossip. Our correspondent
will furnish us two letters weekly hereafter
until the adjournment of the Legislature.
He is a reliable gentleman and a thorough
newspaper man. His letters will be a
valuable addition to our columns.

Somewhat Ambiguous,

Editor Davis Of the White Pine News
says in regard to the death of George P.
McConkey: "We have heard nothing new
IRON official sources regarding the Hamil.
ton tragedy since our last, but we are in
possession of private adtices--which ap-
pear plausible-that throw a new light on
the sad affair. We think it inopportune to
give publicity to the information in IL
possession at present. But in time the
truth must come out, regardless Of whom
" may criminate. The guilt, whether so-
i've or passive, should be traced to its
author, and not cloaked up under any
silly pretense Of sentimentality. Eternal
justice and the interests OF the public de.
mand that the whole truth be brought to
light"

A LaughabIe Mistake.
[Boston Adverllser. l


A laughable incident occurred during the
recent visit of the American Society of Civil
Engineers to Lowell, where they were the
guests OF Mr.. j. b. Francis, whose residence
is in close proximity to that Of Governor
Butler. Mr.. Francis had provided carriages
for the conveyance Of his guests (about 20
in number) from the railway station to his
dwelling, and as they moved slowly in the
direction of Governor Buffers place
many rumors were set afoat re-
garding the nature of the delegation
they contained When within a short
distance of the Governors house a lady who
also resides in the neighborhood, relieved
the curiosity of the inquiring crowd by ven
ing the observation that the visitors must
be the convicts from Concord Prison on
their way to pay their respects to Governor
Butler for his kindness and lenieney towards
them. This "newsp spread like wildhre
and stampede was instantly made in the
direction of the Governors house to see
them alight and enter in. The disappojnt.
ment of the would-be sightseers when they
discovered that instead of the Concord con
Viets the carriages contained only lot of
civil engineers paying u visit to the x-Presi-
dent of their society can easily be imagined
