FOUND IN A FILTHY ABODE
SHE AND HER SISTER INDOORS
FOR THREE YEARS.

A most inexcusable and fragrant case
of neglect of a family Of half-witted peo-
pie came to the notice of the health OF
fcials yesterday.
Police Officer John w Butterwortn OF
the Health Department and Oficer L. j.
Coleman visited the residence of family
named Scherr in the forenoon for the pur-
pose Of investigating a report as to an
alleged case of insanity, filth and neglect,
and found that the case was the worst
that had ever come under their observa-
ton.
The family resides in a three-story Day
window house at S22 California street, on
the northwest corner of Prospect place.
The house adjoining, which is OF the
same style of architecture and is num-
bered S2i, is divided into three flats with
a basement, and is placarded to let.
Both these houses and another BLOCK
or two away belong to the Scherr family,
the latter house being occupied by ten
ants of the Scherrs.
When the officers gained admission to
the house in the forenoon they found Car

and dirty shirt. lying on a thing which had

found at the Chutes. from the me-
patroniZed; good humor and laughter
were the order of the day and the
policemen on duty found their posts
quite agreeable sinecures.
The chief interest of the afternoon
centered, of course, in the pavilion,
where bunting of all colorS fluttered
from the walls. and the French and
American flags, draped in brotherly
union. decorated the stage. The large
hall was crowded long before o'clock,
but the audience was kept waiting

dent of the day, Monsieur Emmanuel
Raas. accompanied by quite a crowd
of swallowtail-coated French citi-
Zens, made his appearance on the plat

provided gratuitouS music, celebrated
the event by joyful overture. The
Red Cross Society also showed its in
terest in the proceedings, the presi-
dent, Mrs. Harrington, and several
other prominent ladies connected with
the organization being placed in the
front row on the stage.
The presidents speech was COM
mendably short, but it was we'll re-
ceived by his hearers, most Of whom
naturally understood the French Ian
guage. He briefly dealt with the rea-
sons which have made the Four
teenth of July a day dear to all
.Frenchmen, and showed how thor
oughly the French colony Of the
United States, dwelling in the midst
of prosperous industry had a pracu
cal illustration of the liberty won by
the French nation ever before them;
a daily example of the strength,
wealth and power achieved by a race
governing itself. He expressed the
wish that the great cry of "Vive la
France" would be continued in all
hearts with 'Viye les Etats Unis,"
and that the two would blend into
the one great cry, '''Vive la repub-
lique" The president also paid
very handsome tribute to the Ameri-
can army and gratefully acknowledg ed
the assistance which its officers had
lent them in the organization OF this
fete.
The French Consul General, M. Lau-
renee de Lalande. paid similarly
warm tribute to the energy, aptitude
and efficiency Of the American race,
especially referring to the rapidity
with which a great army had just

he took the opportunity OF rendering
to the people of the United States his
warmest sympathy and good wishes
for their success in the present con-
flict. Further, he showed that the
French people had proved their kind
~ feeling to the United States in the
most practical of all ways by throw
ing open the doors of that splendid

fully referring to the stars and stripes
and tricolor which were draped in
unison above his head, he expressed
the hope that this happy state of af-
fairs would long continue, and that
the good sense Of both French and
American citizens would forever pre-
vent any serious difference or opinion
between the nations.
BY way of a change Judge Trout
dealt with the fall of the Bastile In
English, glorying in the greatness of
the event which Frenchmen 50 proud

the Judge could not long keep clear
of Spain and he turned his oratortcal
guns, with terrible effect, upon the
Don. If words were cannon balls, the
war would be over by this time. Also
Judge Trout rendered the thanks of
the American nation to Dewey, Schley,
Sampson and many other of our "a

Cross Society also received its share
of thanks, the good work done ny the
noble women of new America and old
France, being worthy of the highest
praise. The Judge, as a perrorauon,
quoted with great effect, the Well
known words of Lincoln.
