The fidelity often shown by criminals to
fellow sufferers in crime is seen in another
case. Ben Brill, the notorious, has written
3 letter to the Board of Pardons, asking for
executive clemency for William Cook, con-
victed with him and now in the Western
Penitentiary for 13 years from 1888, for
robbery. Brill makes an earnest plea for
Cook, who, he claims, was led astray and is
not naturally vicious or a criminal.

MR.. GREER'S REPORT.
The Inspector Finds the McAlIisterville
School Not Such Bad Place, After
All - some -SurRestions OF.
fered for Its Betterment.

All - Some Suggestions OF.
fered for Its Betterment.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
BUTLER, February Ex-senator Greer,
Inspector of the Soldiers Orphans Schools,
has submitted his report of the famous Nc
Allisterville school to Governor Beaver.
There are ia boys and rs girls in the
school. After noting that the singular dis
ease first developed early in January, the
Inspector fully reports each case, and they
form most remarkable chapter of halluci-
nations and weird scenes. He found the
buildings, beds and clothing satisfactory, SO
far as cleanliness was concerned. The chill
dren sleep from nine to ten hours. Though
the dormitories have no fires, the beds have
abundance of clothing and the ventilation
is good.
When the children went home during va
cation they were free from skin disease, but
25 boys returned with the itch, but were
cured after some trouble. Some of the boys
recently sick had been affected with that
disease. Regarding food he can make no
report, and he could only judge from what
he saw. He gives a list of vegetables, dried
fruits and general groceries of which several
boys state they have no reason to complain.
They looked as if they had been we'll fed.
Two mothers who frequently visit the school
expressed satisfaction with it. The Inspector
saws in this connection:
The bread was not good, being dark, coarse,
and while eatable, was not desirable. When l
complained of the breakfast l was informed
that the cook was sick. The dinner consisted
of boiled meat. SOuD. pOtatOes and taDiOca
pudding. Several of the larger and most in
telligent boys expressed perfect satisfaction
with the management of the school. As there
is so much doubt of proper food being provided
for the children, / woul recommend that all
the schools make weekly report to the super
intendent of soldiers orphans showing the
food furnished at every meal during the week,
and that this report be sworn to by the prin-
cipalin charge, and that it also contain state
ment that THE children were given a
sufficient quantity of such provisions. l do
also recommend that the children be provided
with more and better sitting rooms with car
pet, tables, chairs, lamps and plenty of reading
matter, and that shops be provided, with saws,
hatche is, augers planes, vises and other tools,
In which to occupy their leisure hours. make
these recommendations for all the schools.
There must be more facilities for amusement.
l visited this school in October and November.
1885, In October / found the institution as l
thought in good condition. In November
there were several cases of typhoid fever. My
report as to it is on file in the department at
Harrisburg.
