The directors of the asylum met
the goth, inst, and continued in
session four days. Contracts for
supplies of -four and meal, also for
beef, were considered. Bids for flour.
ranged from $5.l5, down to S4.S5
per barrel, and for meal, from 68 cts.
down to 60 cts. per bushel. Con-
tract was awarded to Geo. Ross,
Esq, at lowest rates; that for beef
supply, was awarded to Mr.. Stalnal1-
er, at 1920 per cut. Both success
FIJI bidders are reliable gentlemen.
The supplies are subject to inspec-
ton when delivered. The quantity
of flour, now required, is about TWEEN
ty one barrels per week of meal,
about bushels; or beef, the quanti-
ty daily, about 500 pounds.

$50; daily average, 689a, at cost,
per capita. per week of 1921. In
crease of cost per capita per week,
is accounted for by higher prices for
provisions being paid during the

eleven patients were discharged as
being fully restored to their normal
mental condition-nine males and
two females, all of whom departed

CHARGING CLEVELAND DID NOT CARRY
NEW YORK. SOME INSIDE INFORMATION
WHY THE MATTER WAS NOT PRESSED.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April "a. Tho
closeness of the late presidential vote
in New York is remembered by the
public distinctly Many others have
not forgotten that the New York
Tribune to the last moment claimed
Blaine's election, and that the re-
turns made by the Western Union
Telegraph company's employees show
cd the same thing. This afternoon a
prominent Democrat, who is bosom
friend of ex- president Arthur and in
innate with the inside workings of
the party machine, said to the Telo-
gram representative: "Blaine was
elected as surely as the sun shines.v
The result in New York was no soon
or known to the leaders pf each par
ty, showing the defeat of Cleveland,
than Daniel Manning came ont with
a flaming editorial in his Albany 1r-
gus declaring the Democrats would
not be counted out. II was regu-
lar bluff, but it served the purpose
of bracing up the party in the state
to the extent of claiming victory,
which the returns in New York city
were thereupon manipulated to show
A good many Republicans knew of
the fraud very soon, but they had va
rious reasons for declining to probe
it. One of the strongest was the
treatment of Arthur by Blaine's
friends, and the adherents of the
presidents were not specially dis
pleased to see. the Plumed Knight
left in the cold Among the men
conversant with the facts was lead
ing Pennsylvania politician, who re-
sides not thousand miles from Pitts
burg. He would do nothing to ex-
pose the plot. because of his dislike
of Mr.. Jones, chairman Of tho Re-
publican National committee Hence
the matter went by default, Blaino
was Inundated, Jones had his tail
feathers plucked, and Grover Cleve-
land became executive in due time.
You may depend upon it the rapabfi-
cans win make good uso Of this ii
the next campaign, as they propose
to offset with it the Democratic cry
of counting out Tilden.
Young man, this is solid truth, aud
you can gamble on it rs pointer in
the struggle of 1888. "--HWrisb,rq

Redemption of Trade Dollars

WASHINGTON, April 29.-The re-
port submitted to the House by Rep
resentative Lanham to-day from the
Coinage Committee, recommending
the passage of the bill for the re-
demption Of the trade dollar, says it
is estimated that the amount which
would probably be presented for re-
demption will not be greatly in ex-
cess of $10,700.000, out OF total
coinage of $35, 965,924 tits thought
that the amount now in this country
is abont $7,000,000. and that no
very large amount of that which has
been exported would be returned to
the United States. 1t is difficult,
the report says, to enact any law up
on the subject which might not, in
some degree, operate to the adyan
tage of those who may have purchas-
ed these coins for speculation; but
it is believed that many of them have
found their way into the hands of
people who did not receive them for
such purpose, and that the passage
of the bill reported will serve as well
as any other measure in the solution
of the matter. 1t will certainly elm
mate an anomaly from our system of
silver coinage.

Wheeling is at present excited over
strange monstrosity which was late
ly born to young lady of this city.
The eyes are in their natural place,
but the head above them is entirely
missing, while the brains is almost
absent. The eyes are large and the
mouth abnormally developed, while
the nostrils are quite small. The
head has every appearance Of that Of
a frog and is certainly q great curl
osity. The body and legs are per
fectly formed. The child lived only
a short time after its birth, and the
doctor has its body preserved in al
cohol. He stated to reporter
that this was the second case Of the
kind he had ever known to exist in
the history Of medical science. The
girls father and mother are Bohe-
mians, and live on the East Side.
There is no explanation as to the
cause Of the phenomenal NAL forma-
ton, and it viii probably give the
medical profession something to pom
der over.

The Greek Question.

The Greek Government has decided
that its reply made to the ultmatum of
the Powers is sufficient, and tina, promises
contained therein are all it can make. The
Ministers Of the Powers at Athens ARE pre-
pairing to embark on the allied fleet.
Hopes are entertained in high quarters of
Athens that the Government at London OF
St Petersburg may yet find IL nodu> viv-
endi on the The Greek question. The res
ignation OF the Ministry is impossible.
The situation at Athens is complicated and
critical. The Government rc>ents the
interference OF the Powers with its internal
affairs. The foreign ministers all gathered
at the residence of Sir Horace Rumbold,
British Minister, awaiting final instructions
from their governments. Time given in
ultimatum OF the Powers for Greece to
