Getting at the Charges.

An investigation such As this board
called upon your committee to make
under the resolutions first quoted, was
one by no means easy 70 be made, for the
reason that no definite charges were tled,
and such charges against the admins
tration Of the institution and the
efficiency Of its president and his ssso
cistes-the two things your committee
was instructed TO investigate-were in
the shape Of rumors only and were so In.
tangible that It was with difficulty that
your committee could formulate any
orderly procedure whereby the truth
or falsity Of the rumors could be tested.
While as above stated, no definite charges
ware made, yet the criticisms which were
abroad in our state concerning the ad'
ministration Of the affairs Of the college
and the efficiency of the president and
his associates, seemed to be as follows;
That the discipline maintained at the
college was poor.
That the requirements exacted OF
students entering the college were no.

FLOODING AND PRODDING.

The star witness before the Lexow
Committee yesterday was old Harry
Hill, the well-known dance-house keeper,
who did business for so many years in
the close vicinity of Police Headquarters
and under the eyes. II not literally
under the wing, of the force. from Com
missioner down to patrolman.
The witness related to the Committee,
whose country members may possibly
not have heard the story years ago, all
about his establishment on Houston
street ard his quarrel with Capt Muir
ply. growing out OF Harry's disinclina-
tion to give up to the police at the
rate of eight hundred dollars at a time.
The evidence served to show that the
practice OF blackmailing illegal resorts.
of paying for police protection and OF
putting up" for police appointments
and captains positions is an old II not
an honored one, and was as general in
Harry Hills palmiest days as 1t is to-
day.
The Committee obtained the attend
ance of some representatives OF the bet
ter or worse, class OF disorderly houses
in the uptown districts. But unfortu-
nately the witnesses corralled were only
the housekeepers OF the establishments
and not the proprietors, the latter hav-
ing taken Grand Prix trips to Europe or
disappeared in the rscesses of the rural
districts. Hence the testimony was not
as direct as 1t might have been, al
though 1t went to confirm the stories Of
police blackmail and protection.

THE ELMIRA HORROR AGAIN

The Elmira Reformatory Commission
has resumed taking testimony at Elmira
At yesterdays session Miss Julia S.
Hoas. clerk in the State Board of
Charities, gave evidence as to the result
OF her examination of certain transcripts
OF Reformatory records during the pre-
vious investigation. from which 1t ap-
peared that the padding discipline under
Brockway had shown a steady and large
increase. The total number of victims
Of the bathroom torture in 1889 had been
36l. These had increased In 1893 to 6sl,
and each succeeding year had swelled
the list.
Among the most revolving features
OF the Inquiry yet developed are the
stories told by inmates Of the institution
upon whom punishment was inflicted for
having testified before the Board OF
State Charities ON the first trial. What
will the people think Of Governor by
whose action 1t was placed in the brutal
Superintendent power to thus visit his
vengeance on victims who had only
! obeyed the law in giving testimony
against him? A Governor whose politi-
cal interest still arms such a monster

ANTIQUATED oBsrRUCTIONs.

Mr.. Henry Labouchere spoke unadul-
terated truth at the anti-Lorts meeting
at Leeds. England, yesterday. when he
said that self-government was a farce so
long as hereditary legislators existed.
The resolutions adopted by the meet
ing were moderate In tone. Mr.. Labou-
chere's amendment declaring for the alb
solute abolishment OF the House Of
Lords was voted down. and the meeting
advocated the abolition of the veto
power of the Peers by providing that
when a bill passed by the Commons
shall be altered or rejected by the Lords
1t shall be returned to the Commons,
and II reaffirmed by that body. with or
without the amendments or alterations,
It shall become a law, subject to the
royal assent. This would be treating
the action OF the Upper House much as
Presidents or a Governors veto Is
treated here. It suggests a good way
out OF the English trouble.

PARK BOARD WAYS.

The Park Board does not seem to be
able to do any business connected with
the Department in straightforward
manner Yesterday there was wran-
gle over the bids for the work OF equip
ping the new wing OF the Museum of
Natural History. Commissioner Straus
did not want to act at once on the
bids. "If We award the contract the
newspapers will pound U.S." he said, and
pound us at every opportunity"
Who cares for their poundings? i
DON'T exclaimed President Clausen.
The wall of the Commissioners was
due to the fact that before the bids
were opened protests were made by
some of the best firms in the city, who
alleged that there was some crooked
work about the bids
The outcome OF the row was that there
| were only two bidders. one OF these

trouble in getting all tho Information
1t wanted. II have no doubt abou
that" remarked one OF the shut-ou
bidders. II understand that membe

Mineral Foods.

The bones Of living being are pink
in childhood, rose color at maturity,
and, as vitality weakens, they pale to
a yellowish white As the bones OF the
child contain more animal than mineral
matter, they are easily bent and mis-
shapen. Babies taught to walk before
their bones are strong enough to sup
port the weight of the body are apt to
have bad legs the rest Of their lives.
1t Is natural for man to walk, and the
wise nurse will let the child walk on his
hands until he is ready to use his feet.
1t is much better that he should creep
until he is five years old than walk at
eighteen months and have bow-legs for
sixty years. Fruits contain some min
erals which other foods lack. The acids
and fine seeds aid digestion, the flavor
Is agreeable to the palate and the salts
and sugar are used by the system in
building up the structure.

AN EXPLANATION IN ORDER.

1t is absolutely necessary that Police
Justice Diver should go before the
Lexow Committee and deny the stories
told about his alleged association with
criminals, II they can be denied. 1t Is
true that the acts imputed to him all
date prior to his appointment as Police
Justice. and have no bearing on his
official conduct But they are neverthe-
less scandal, and as they are calcu-
lated to impair his usefulness as a
Judge they ought to be denied or ex-
planned.
The evidence OF the man Clarke is the
testimony of a self-confessed criminal.
If 1t can be explained away Judge Div

and to Mayor Gilroy. from whom he

To Grow Old Gracefully.

smile; laugh when you can; think tho

full women always look older than they
are. Frowning and scowling makes the

life hideous and the scolder hateful.

do. do not marry drunkard. No matter how
deeply in love you may fancy yourselves to be.
do not marry a man who drinks intoxicating
liquor 1t is better to be an old maid and miss
the desired Mrs" from your Tombstone. 1t Is
better to 60 on through life single and alone. to
keep a cat and make aprons for the heather
children than to be drunkards wife. Young
men addicted to taking a glass now and then will
doubtless laugh at you and me II you call their
habit a vice, or hint that II is in any wise dan
gerous They assure you In a lordly way that
they know what they aboutH' Haven't they
control enough over themselves to take social
glass now and then, and stop there?" Why.
you talk as though were common drunk
ards" And so they are liable to become. There
is no safety In playing with poison. oh, young
girls, fair and pure and loving, think OF what

tion. the miserable degradation which hang
around the drunkard, and forswear the young

Fruit syrups are good things to have

they are very refreshing beverages.
Those made of strawberries or red cur

made in this way: Into a saucepan put
one pint Of water. two pounds Of loaf
sugar and quarter OF an ounce Of cltric
acid. Place on a slow fire and let the
mixture boil two or three minutes. Re-
move the pan and put into 1t a half pound

again for two or three minutes. strain
