he evidently comes in on the morning
train and goes back on the afternoon
train, except on May 4th. when he stays
over night and charges hotel bills for
two days.
The report concludes with thorough
showing of the finances of the institu-
ton, and concludes as follows:
"All claims are passed upon by the
trustees, numbered as they are allowed
and entered by number in the minutes.
The superintendent furnishes the treas
urer with list of the approved claims.
The treasurer pays them by bank
checks, retaining the paid check as his
voucher. Formerly all claims were paid
by check on Lindley, Mason & Kicker,
bankers, Bank of Whittier; latterly
they are paid by checks on the Califor
mia bank, Los Angeles. Checking up the
controllers warrants against the treas
urer's receipts in his cash book find all
moneys received from the state ac
counted for, and checking paid claims
against his disbursements | find receipts
for all expenditures. The treasurer's
balances and the secretary's agree. The
treasurer keeps cash book only. The
secretary or clerk is the book keeper of
the institution. The former treasurer,
George Mason, gave bonds in the sum of
$4,000; the present treasurer, Dean
Mason, gave bonds in the sum of $40 ,00D,
with the former treasurer as one OF his
bondsmen.
"The treasurer receives sometimes
amounts ranging from SIC, 900 to $40, 900
in one sum, and has disbursed over
100000. Respectfully submitted.

From an entry in the secretary's jour
nal it appears that the bill was rejected
by the state controller when first pre-
sented, but was subsequently paid.
At The meeting OF September 3. 1889,
the bill of Architect Young for $755. 40,
and that of Superintendent Lindley for
$765 40, was allowed. These bills con-
tain the came items as Sms's, except
that Lindley claims hotel bill for forty
four days. The minutes of that meet
ing show the following action in regard
to the claim of Damron: "The minutes
of all the preceding meetings were read
and on motion approved, save and ex-
cept the minutes of May 8, 1889; that
portion of the minutes relating to the
employment of j. M. Damron to ac-
company Trustee Sims, superintendent
Lindley and Architect Young on their
tour of inspection and awarding him
payment therefor"
[The report shows how Damron's bill
was afterwards approved and paid by
the state controller.]
The state controller required an item
lied account of Damron's incidental ex-
penses. He sent it itemized as follows:

THE BIDS FOR THE BUILDINGS.
[The report shows that the contract
for the barns, sheds and corrals was let
to A. Il. Donecken for $4,000 without

At the meeting of October l. 1889, the
bids for building the administration
building, the girls cottage and the fac
tory were opened.
At the same meeting it was decided
by the trustees not to build the girls
cottage, and the bid of J. NJ. Skinner &

The settlement was principally the natural

DAYS large and fourishing glass factory,
situated on the river bank between Dist AID 22d
streets northwest, and which was started about
the year 1907 by firm composed of Messrs. An

in that year, bought piece of land fronting
l695s feet on Water street and extending south

wharf fronting about $50 feet on the river, and
extending about 200 feet south from Water
street and called the commissioners wharf

OF water at mean tide.

LOST ARTICLES.
The number Of articles lost by the visitors
during their brief stay was astonishing, to judge
from the posters seen everywhere IN the bar
racks and other headquarters advertising miss
ing vaiuaoles. Unfortunately many old soldiers
lost their tickets home and theirs Was q dismal
predicament, inasmueh as . majority Of the
veterans had not counted on having q penny
left when the time for their departure should
arrive. The police department helped some Of
them out OF their trouble by telegraphing to
their friends. Others were given assistance by
their army posts. which In many instances
fetched dozens Of comrades to Washington, not
only paying their expenses, but reimbursing
them for earnings lost by absence As for the
matter OF transportation. conductors on the
II members of the G. A. R were not allowed TO
ride free on those vehicles and il not, why.

SUICIDES OF SOLDIERS,
Felo de Sc Responsible for One-Fifth Of the
Deaths in the Austrian Army.

Felo de Sc Responsible for One Fifth Of the
Deaths in the Austrian Army.
The last number Of the journal of the Ameri-
can Statistical Association gives some curious
facts concerning the number Of suicides In the
ranks and more especially among the officers Of
all the great European powers The Austrian
army takes the lead in this matter. From
1875 to 1887 q yearly average Of I22 suicides is
recorded for every 100 900 effective troops. In
1889 the number was 149. Death BY suicide
represents a fifth part of the whole mortality Of
the Austrian army. No disease Is more deadly.
The Germans report about half the number;
the italian army about one-third: the French
army about one-fourth; the English army in
the home service about one-sixth; the rate
In the Russian army is nearly the same,
while in the Spanish army it is least OF all.
There are some curious facts about these SUI
cides. In the European armies. especially in
Austria. it is the young soldiers who kill them
selves during the first month Of their service.
Suicides are the most frequent among the cav
airy and infantry, and in the latter among the
soldiers who are accused and awaiting trial
The most frequent method is shooting
though hanging and drowning are frequent
methods. The infantry use firearms and
usually aim at their heads The mounted
soldiers hang themselves by their horse
brides. The Algerian soldiers almost always
shoot themselves through the body, perhaps
because the Arabs think il is infamous to mutt
late the head. In Austria q third of the suicides
are attributed to distaste for military duty; in
France, love trouble is q very frequent cause;
the fear Of punishment Is everywhere great
incentive. The maximum OF suicides is
reached In the hottest weather, and the mini
mum is reached in the coolest weather. The
late Mr.. Buckle affirmed as a law of civilization
that there is periodic regularity in the suicide
mania, and this testimony Of the suicides in
the European armies goes far to confirm it
