visit to the Almshouse and Jail.

G. s. Griffith, of Baltimore, President OF
the Maryland Prisoners Aid Association,
visited the Carroll county almshouse and Jail
last week, being accompanied by Rev. LOUIS

We started on our journey on Monday,
Nav 2Sth, arriving at Westminster about noon.
We went Immediately to the almshouse,
which is situated on beautiful farm of 10
acres. under excellent cultivation about
mile from town. Mr.. Emanuel Shafer, the
newly.appointed superintendent, showed us
through the buildings. The main building,
which is occupied by the superintendent
family and the female inmates, was in excel
lent condition; the rooms were clean and
comfortable, and the inmates, number OF
whom were engaged in work about the house,
seemed to be happy and contented. The
male department, which is situated about one
hundred feet from the main building, was in
marked contrast to it. The buildingis small,
and the few rooms fit for occupancy were
dinqy. dilapidated and dirty. The men were
crowded together too much. If the partitions
which now cut up the building into small
anartments were removed, several comforta-
bic dormitories could be provided, and, with
the addition of wing on the northern side at
small expense, the men could be comfortably
and humanely cared for. A number of the
men are not only very old, but crippled and
HELPLESS, and should at least be made com,
Portable. The number of inmates was 45, of
whom ten were colored, FIVE of the latter
were children. Many tramps were accom-
modated during the winter. The total ex-
pense of running the institution during the
last year was $s,711.52. We are glad to see
one of the inmates in this institution walking
about and clothed in his right mind who, for
several years, was violently insane and dan
eerous. and who for at least two years had been
Confined to his room and chained to the floor;
We found the Jail at Westminster in good
condition, under the charge of Sheriff George
N. Fringer. 1t contained only nine prisoners
1--WE White and four colored. Two.thirds
of them are held for triaing oaenses. During
the past winter the Jail was at times crowded
with tramps. Frequently, the Jail held above
forty of these. The students of Western
Maryland College visit the Jail and almshouse
regularly on Sundays and conduct religious
services, which are much appreciated by the
inmates,
