few months ago went to the peniten-
tiary to serve life imprisonment for his
crime. Mrs. BOschino lives on Smith
street DunmOre, and is a woman with
many claims to beauty. She almost
realizes the ideaf propagated by poets
in their treatment of the Italian peas
antry. She is in very destitute condi-
ton, and her case was referred to Di-
rector Murphy.
Mary Gilroski, a very bright girl of
about 10 years, appeared before the
board in behalf of her father, who is at
present sick. DR.. Paine stated that the
girls mother is dead and that her ia
ther and his associates, for whom the
girl keeps house are not fit people for
the girl to live with. The board referred
the application to Mr. Paine, with
instructions to send the girl to the Hill
side home if he deemed it advisable.
Mrs. Bridget O'ROurke appeared be-
fore the board with an infant about .
years old. She said that her husband
had deserted her some time ago, when
they moved here from Illinois. She
was allowed 81 a month for three
months
Mrs. George Kadiambeski had Woe

| Poland for her several months ago,
| and jUytully she started for this Coun-
| try. When she arrived in Scranton
| she was unable to find her husband.
| Accompanied by two children she is in
| destitute circumstances. She will be
| taken care of while efforts are being
| made to find her eVasive spouse. Nu-
| merous other applicants were heard by

cidentally caught in the crack of the
