The Proposed Poorhouse.

The Board of Managers of Ale
gheny county have notified our County
Commissioners that the contract for ac-
commodating Butler county prisoners
cannot be renewed as Allegheny county
now needs the entire building for itself
The Superintendent of Dixmont Hospi-
tai has notified our County Commits
sioners that the hospital is now over
crowded, and no more patients can be
taken care of Warren and Werners-
vile hospitals are also well filed
The Poor tax collected in this county
aggregates about $4,000 year, and
the hospital account about a, 600 year
--or $21, 900 year for these two pur-
poses
The last Grand jury recommended the
erection of county Poor House, and
our County Commissioners think that
a department for the care of the mildly
insane should be attached to il, and they
will probably arrange for the submis
sion of the question to a vote of the tax
payers of the county at the next No
vember election.
Our Reform School and Work House
accounts, also, aggregate between -
900 and SO, 900 year and some people
think that small factory Of some kind
should be added TO the proposed Poor
House, where incorrigibles and persons
convicted of misdemeanors could be put
TO work.
The matter is an interesting one, and
should be generally discussed

adds.
The most interesting feature Of the

self but rather the opportunity to see
the country, the ways of the people and
the social and industrial conditions gen
orally. One of the things that i'm
presses the northern tourist is the pro
gress that has been made by southern
railways in recent years Today there
are two great systems, the Seaboard
Air Line and the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga and st Louis Railway, that are
to the South what the Pennsylvania
and Vanderbilt system are to the North.
Solid vestibule trains that are as com
plete in their appointments as our best
trains between the east and west, are
run from Washington to Nashville by
way of Atlanta and traverse not only
the richest agricultural sections of the
south but also pass through the most
noted and historic scenery of the great
war between the states. From Wash
ington, TO Weldon, n c., the name Of
almost every station is familiar TO the
student of American history From
Atlanta to Nashville one passes through
two Of the most beautiful valleys of the
