Robbing the Pennsylvania state
Treasury.

Joint committee of the House and Senate
of the Pennsylvania Legislature is investiga',
ing the conduct and expenses OF the Soldiers
Orphan Schools of that state. Charges OF
crookedness in their management were made
several years ago, but the matter was passed
over. The Philadelphia Record has forced
an investigation by the alarming disclosures
it has published. After the array of figures
and copies of contracts given by the Record,
the Legislature could not avoid an investiga-
ton. Here is an extract from one OF the
Records articles:
Recent revelations at Mercer Pa, disclose the TACT
that the state of Pennsylvania has been roopea OF
over one million dollars in the management OF the
Soldiers Orphans Schools The illegal pronts !
one of the ten big schools amounted to s2lOOyo ana
this school was of three that were controlled Dy
a syndicate headed by ex-State Senator George W.
Wright, of Mercer, Pa. The fortunes accumulated
by eight men through pinehing the orphans ana
fleeing the state were roundly as iohoWs'

While stale officials are largely to blame for these
wholesale raids on the public treasury, the Grand
Army of the Republic is primarily responsible for
much ofthe suffering and neglect which the orphans
endured The Grand Army took these schools under
its special Its posts appointed regular visiting
committees 10 report upon the condition OF each
school. No appropriations were made nor reguia-
lions except upon the express request OF the
Grand Army leaders. The time for closing the
schools was repeatedly extended at their solcita-
ton, the scope Of the schools enlarged and the
number of children doubled by admitting those
whose fathers were living. In various ways the
Grand Army leaders made themselves responsible
not only for the management of all the institutions
but for the honest disbursement of the moneys that
were taken from the state treasury
After the exposure of 1856, instead OF vindicatng
its Integrity by relentlessly pursuing the oppresors
OF the orphan, the Grand Army took the offenders

A BIG RUNNING CIRCUIT.
Pittsburg, Cleveland, Buffalo and Detroit I'm
the Project.

Pittsburg, Cleveland, Buffalo and Detroit in
the Project.
rrEcIAL rKLEGRAM TO THE prsPArcH1
CLEVELAND. Jan. 2l-The breeders and turf
men of the East will be interested in a pro-
iected racing circuit that is now attracting
much attention among horsemen in Cleveland,
Plttsburg, Buffalo and Detroit. The plan is to
hold summer turf meetings in the four cities in
question, where hitherto trotters have held un-
disputed sway. Harry Price, of this city,
formerly a prominent pool seller, and gen.
orally well known to turfmen, is push.
ing the scheme, and has been in
consultation with the leading racing
hackers of this city and Pittsburg. The idea
is to hold the races at such a time in summer
as shall make it an object for owners to race
their horses in these cities while en- route be-
tween the East and the West. The purses Of
to be entered, and the novelty OF running
meeting IN any of the cities named. ii is
thought, will more than make expenses.
1t has been about Is years since running
meeting has been held in any OF the big lake
cities In this city it is the intention to use the
famous Glenville track, upon which Maud 5
made her record. 1t is the opinion of local
turfmen that it will not injure the track to
harrow it up for the runners. Con-
ferences have been held with Pitts
burg horsemen. and it is said they are
favorable to the scheme if all go in. The book
makers fees would go long way toward MAX
ing the expenses of each meeting, and the latter
would do a thriving business, owing to the new
ness of running in these cities. Buffalo is likely
to have such a racing meeting In any contln-
gency.

SCHOOL KNOWLEDGE FORGOTTEN.
Matters in Which Old Heads Are Likely to
Become Rusty.


Matters in Which Old Heads Are Likely to
Become Rusty.
Brooklyn Standard Unon.l
A Brooklyn man who has several children
in the public schools tells me that he is hav-
ing quite lively time evenings trying to
help them with their lessons. He says that
he always supposed that he had a tolerably
good education, but that he has been terri
bly, humiliated of late. The things which
he thought he knew seem to have gone from
him, and the simplest question asked by boy
or girl from 10 to 13 plunges him into the
deepest perplexity. Meantime, the children
seem to enjoy his embarrassment, and, OF
course, trot out their very hardest problems
for him to solve.
It is tie same old story. Things which
we do not put into daily practice we soon
become unfamiliar with, aud in time forget
entirely. The young folks have to take re-
views of previous work now aud then, aud
it is, of course, not to be wondered at that
older heads, crammed as they are with
things relating to the everyday battle of
life, should forget the lessons learned, may
hap, in little wooden schoolhouse painted
red away back among the hills in the days
that have flown. But the effort of the old
heads to recall the things which they learned
when young is healthy. 1t puts them more
in touch with their children, who are be-
ginning the battle OF life. 1t recalls their
school days, and reminds that they were not
all sunshin$ and so they are in position
to sympathixe with their boys and girls who
are now in school.

GETTING IN SHAPE.
Governor Pattison and Cabinet Doing Little
Business Yet.

Governor Pattison and Cabinet Doing Little
Business Yet.
rFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
HARRISBURG, Jan. Ex-Governor Patti
son was at his Office this morning promptly
at o'clock. Mr.. Harrity, the new Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth, was there a little
before him. Adjutant General McClelland
spent the most OF the day In his Office over
the House of Representatives. The late in
cumbent of the position, General Hastings,
dropped in during the afternoon to give
General McClelland any assistance he could.
But little official business was done by
either the Governor or his Cabinet. Their
work consisted largely Of getting Office fur
niture and fittings in shape.
Attorney General Hensel had q consulta-
ton with his deputy, Mr.. Stranahan, Of
Mercer county, whose commission was
signed to-day. Mr.. Tilden, of Erie, it
seems, has not yet been appointed as Deputy
Secretary OF the Commonwealth. This
evening the position was still open, but t
had been generally understood early this
week that ex-Collector Bigler had with
drawn as an applicant for the position. As
to clerkships and minor offices in the Ex.
ecutive Department, Governor Pattison says
he will be in no hurry about making
changes. He wants to look the field over.
