SHOCKING CRUELTY
Inflicted Upon the Inmates of a
Penal Institution.
officers and Keepers Practice Brutality Of a
Slckening Nature.

ALBANY, March 2O.-The state board Of
charity handed In it's report on the Elmira
reformatory Investigation and 1t is against
the board Of managers. After detailing
at length the findings In the evidence, the
investigating committee concludes:
THAT the charges and allegations
against General Superintendent Brock
way Of cruel, brutal, excessive, degrad-
ing and unusual punishment of the in
mates are proven and most amply sus-
tained by the evidence. and that he IL
guilty Of the same; that the general
superintendent in furnishing eonvicts by
blows across the face by the paddle and
the handle thereof, not because Of anv
offense committed by them, but because
they happen to turn their heads often for
the purpose of pleading for mercy. is
guilty Of needless cruelty and gross inhu-
manity. that the general superintendent
permitted and encouraged officers and
keepers to strike, kick, beat and other
wise practice brutality upon tho inmates
when In his presence In the bathroom,
and that, therefore, said officers and keep
ers were encouraged to exercise brutality
upon the inmates elsewhere and when
not In his presence.
I'VE therefore find the general superin-
tendent guilty Of the charge Of permitting,
countensncing and encouraging brutality
on the part of the officers and keepers;'
that corporal punishment as practiced
In the reformatory should be prohibited
by law; that the general medical super
vision Of the reformatory is inadequate"

wide range, involving the matter OF the
repair OF the old High School building,
what to do with the High School until
the old building is repaired II 1t be not
transferred to the Garden street addition,
and various other matters In this line.
Then Mr.. McGregor, Chairman OF the
committee on property. amended his mo-
tion so az to authorize the removal of the
High School to the Garden street addition
for the remainder OF the present year.
This motion was a lost by a tie vote,
Messrs. Barker, Hartford, McGregor and
Meiklejohn voting In the affirmative, and
Messrs. Biodgett Tolman, Tobie and Will
son In the negative. Then, on motion Of
Mr.. Wilson, the committee authorized

with the plans and specifications of the
architects.

tions for the high school until the old
building can be repaired was referred to

ADJUSTMENTS.
Lothrop's Grand Opera House.

The attraction at Lothrop's Grand
Opera House this week is one OF the best
dramas that has been presented at that
theatre since its opening and Miss
Katherine Rober, one OF the brightest
stars OF Lothrop's companies, appears In
the leading role.
IL Is powerful drama In i've acts, en-.
titled "Frou Frou." Miss Rober appears
as Gilberte Brigard, "Frou Frou," and Is
ably supported by carefully selected
company each member OF which is es-
pecially adapted for the part assigned.
IL is a story OF life mostly at the
gay French metropolis, Paris, but the
first act is laid at the Brigard home at
CharmRrettes.
Gilberte Is beautiful, sunny creature
whose only object In life is enjoyment
and although she does not love Sartorys

Miss Lillian Mortimer, 20 whom Sartorys
confided the secret OF his love for GIL
berte and requested her to intercede for
him.
Louise loves Sartorys, but gives him up
and pleads for him because OF her love for
her sister and whom she believes Sartorys
will make happy. Comte De Valreas, q
gay youth, also loves dilberte and four
years after her marriage she fees with him
to Venice, being prompted to do so by her
jealously OF Louise. Sartorys follows
them and De Valreas' death is the result,
Gilberte worked her way 20 her old home
to see her child and dies in her husbands
arms forgiven.
The scenery and costumes are the most
elaborate ever seen on Lothrops stage.
The mere mention of the names OF those
who take part is sufficient proof that the
drama is perfectly portrayed.
They are Justin Paige, Leonard Roe,
Cameron Clemens, James Il. McElroy,
Mortimer Phillips, William Fafnum,
Morris McHugh, Misses Julia Porter, {,

In the mountains OF Tennessee, and has
for It's central theme the life and customs
OF the Illicit distillers, commonly known
as "Moonshiners." In the last act there
are some very clever-stage effects, one in
