MY MOTHER.

Still to my cheek In dreams are pressed
Those lips that kissed me first of all;
Those eyes that watched my infant rest
In fadeess memory on me fall
Those hands. that voice, ne or forget
That sme-each look, and touch and Tone
Survives, a lingering sweetness yet
OF the dear life that gave my own.
Her love that soothed my earliest cry
! could not thank SO long ago;
Who sang my softest lullaby
was too young and weak to know.
Z No Weakening reason taught me then
To prize my mother at her best
And lind her most my angel when
She held me helpless on her breast. ~
So grew my debt in long arrears,
TIL time was lent to learn her worth
d Through more than fifty patient years
Beyond the morning OF my birth.
Then came the change watched. the bed
of her who DER my cradle smiled.
The anxious love on weakness shed

Her weary heart with care and fear: z

called her, but sho could not hear q

For her bore my grief away,
And wiped the secret tears that fell

COY'S MAN APPOINTED.
&. III. Boone, Lieutenant of the Little Boss,
Made Superintendent of the Work House.

Yesterday afternoon Sim Coy insisted on nav
ing a work-house superintendent appointed.
He came into the County Commissioners Office
about 2:30 o'clock, stopping on his way through
the auditors rooms to learn how many in
spectors had qualified. Relieving his mind of
this weighty care, he took Decline for County
Attorney Spencer Leaning over the attorneys
table, Simeon's square form, as seen in the dis
lance, suggested the Importance of the consulta-
ton, for Simeon, when fulfilling the
duties of a patriot, never talks louder
than whisper, with his mouth about two
inches from the ear of his listener Spencer, at
the proper periods. nodded his head. and at the
close of the conversation the little boss passed
over to Commissioner Sahm. There were signs
of Sahm protesting, but within ten minutes r.
NJ Boone a barkeeper in Steve Matters saloon,
and the choice of Simeon Coy was elected work
house superintendent Mr. Boone will continue
in the saloon business until Saturday night, and
on Monday take charge of the work house. Per-
haps Coy wanted to tell Sahm that Boone would
consent to reduction of 800 in salary, which
was ordered This is another trick of the young
commissioner to shape an economical record
Sahm and Coy also ordered that the offices of
assistant superintendent and matron should
be abolished. They appointed Andrew j.
Stephens captain of the guard at the
work-house: Mr.. Stephens presented petition
signed by Democrats we'll known in politics
favorites of the little boss The appointed
officers were not limited TO any term of service.
The proceedings have the appearance of tenn
porary arrangement, and it is expected that after
the election the assistant superintendent and
matron will be restored. together with the 800
taken from Boones salary. Having arranged
this little business to his satisfaction, Coy went
ont to take another look at the list of inspectors,
and the Commissioners adjourned. Captain
Clinton. the Republican Commissioner. voted for
John Lang, the Jail turnkey, for superintendent
and for Assistant Superintendent Reed for cap
tain of the guard, but the Democratic majority,
with Sim Coy thrown in, was too much for him.

AUDITOR WILLIAMS'S DISCOVERY.
State Officers Say There Is No Way of Prov
ing the Alleged War Claim Frauds.

Governor Gray yesterday received from John
S. Williams, Third Auditor of the Treasury, q
circular letter calling his attention to matters
in relation to the condition of the Indiana rec
ords in his Office. The points of the letter were
given to the public yesterday morning in press
dispatch from Washington. State Auditor Rice
said yesterday that he had not seen the report
of MIR. Williams, but, when it was turned over
to him. he would attempt 10 look into the mat
ter He knew that there was dispute in re-
gard TO the war claims, and he thought 1t was
likely there was not much regularity about the
records embracing the dates of payment 1t
was not unlikely that in the great
volume of business done between the State and
general government at that time, that errors
would creep in. The record of the settlement of
such claims, he was of the opinion, was not in
his Office and as the officials in the transaction
are all dead, the correct record could probably
not be made up.
Attorney general Hord said that at the present
time the State had claims against the general
government for nearly 5000, 900, many OF them
war claims. Among all the State officials it was
the opinion that there is way of proving
whether or not the statements in the letter Of
Mr.. Williams are true

Pardoned bv the Governor.

Humphreys, of Vigo county, who was sentenced
to the southern penitentiary for two years on
Jan. H. 1885, He was physician in Terre
Haute and had an account against Leander Car
ruthers, who refused to pay the bill and threat
ened to shoot Humphreys on sight They one
day met and both drew revolvers but Hum
phreys got the first shot, and killed Carruthers.
He was indicted for manslauZ hter and sentenced
for the term of two years, which would expire
Ga Thursday. He asked a pardon. feeling that
it would exonerate him.
The Governor also pardoned Walter G. Bin
ton, who was sentenced for five years from Nor
gan county in September, 1888 for burglary and
larceny. on the affidavit of the prison physician
that he was dying with consumption and let
ter from his father saying he desired to take the
young man to his home in Estelle county, Ten
nessee, to die.

Commended for Condemning Defective Work.
Dr. G. N. Metcalf, secretary of the State Board
of Health, has returned from Toronto, Canada,
whore he went to attend the meeting of the In
ternational Health Association. He submitted
to that body seven interrogatories, covering the
disputed questions in relation to the sanitary
defects in the plumbing of the new State
house building, and the matter was re-
ferred for consideration to a COM
mittee Of three, composed of E. c. Jordan, G. E.
of Maine; VIM. Caniff, al. D. of Ontario and 6.
B. Thornton, M. D.. of Tennessee. The com
mittee presented report of considerable length,
fully sustaining ON all questions the position of
the Indiana State Board of Health in condemn
ing the system, and concluded follows: 1--WE
commend the action of the State Board of
Health Of Indiana in its endeavors to bring
about correction of the errors so manifest in
the principles that appear to have guided the
plumbing of their new State-house, and upon
its insistance that the plumbing of its State
buildings should always conform to and keep
pace with the advances made in sanitary plumb
ing" The committee report was unanimously
