ENTERTAINED BY THE COUNTY.
There are Seventeen People in the Pool
House-Hard Times Did 1t.

Tom Covil, the superintendent OF the
Sedgwick county poor farm. is doing
business this year on a large scale
Tom said yesterday that he now has
seventeen boarders which is nearly
double the amount in that institution
at this time last year. They are most
" good people and do not give the
sperintendent much trouble.
II think said Mr.. Covil, that the
hard times are the cause of some of
these people being there as some OF
them are willing and able TO work
Many people think that all the in
mates of the county poor house are
unable or unwilling TO work but this is
a mistake. There is $50 acres in the
poor farm and the poor people do a
good deal OF the work necessary to be
done.
Mr.. Covil says the old people attend
to the pigs, cows and chickens. These
unfortunate people are induced to take
an interest in the care of things about
the farm which causes them TO be mucn
better satisfied than IL they had no in
terest in the place.

Finally, concluding that everybody in
the house was asleep and that he would
have TO light light for his purpose,
the burglar flashed the light from a
dark lantern into the room Mr.. Dur
ley knowing that there was no use in
pretending to be asleep. concluded to
try and scare the man away and asked
him what was wanted The thief was
evidently much surprised at finding Mr.
Durley awake but being determined to
make something out Of the trip he
walked into the room and told Mr.. Dur
ley that the best thing he could do
would be 10 cover UP his head and
that il he did not he would shoot hole

the thief had taken, but he was too late.
Then he dressed and getting neigh

taken and they went home. There is

London, June Pa special dispatch
from st. Petersburg by the way of Ety.
kuhnen, on the Prussian frontier says
the Russian government has received a
communication from the government of
Great Britain advising the cars gov
eminent of the intention of England
to make a naval demonstration at Con-
stantinople. Advices have been received
in st. Petersburg from other sources
to the effect that the British ambassador
to Turkey, Sir Phillip Currie, is secretly
intriguing with the Armenian patriarchs.
According to these advices there is no
doubt that the English pro-Armenian
committee are supplying the Armenians
with a large number of weapons, and
the Russian government is preparing to
meet the developments of the situation
outlined. The twentieth division of the
Russian army, now stationed in the
south of Russia, has been ordered to the
vicinity of Kars, and the departure of
1900 troops from Odessa for Batoum is
being accelerated.
