The forenoon session of the state
board of agriculture was occupied with
addresses by Dr. Salmon. the head Of
the bureau of animal industry at Wash
ington and R. j. Hinton of New York.
Dr. Salmon is an excellent authority in
his chosen profession. but his slow. de-
liberate way of talking did not enthuse
the audience. His utterances were.
however. much to the point and very
forcible. Mr.. Hinton is always inter
esting and he was particularly so today
in explaining the partiality of Kansas

LIGHTS and SHADES
AT THE POOR BOARD
Many Varied Cases Came Up for
Consideration at Yesterday AT.
ternoon's Regular Meeting.

| The members of the poor board spent
| nearly two hours yesterday in listen
Ing to appeals for assistance from
about as varied an assortment of un-
fortunates as has been seen in the
basement Of the city hall for many a
| month.
The wife of Angelo Pennoli, the
Italian who murdered BARLEY Di Clio
mae in Dunmore a few weeks ago, was
one of the women who appeared before
the board. She cannot be more than
| seventeen or eighteen years old, and
| carried pratting, pretty little child
| in her arms.
The board, after some argument,
| finally decided to admit her to the Hill
side Home. and when this was an
nounced to her she accepted it with
stoical Indifference. Mrs. George Ger
| made, of 32O Second street, who has
five children and whose husband was
employed as a laborer at the Mt. Pleas
ant but who is now out on strike. asked
for help. When she explained that her
husband refused to work, Director Full
Ter said.
This case is one OF those where
there is work, but where they will not
work. If we continue to relieve such
cases as this for any length of time,
we'll have to go out of business"
The board decided that they couldn't
relieve her, and Mr.. Shotten told her
to tell her husband to go to the strike
leaders and demand the $4Aa week they
promised before the strike She begged
so piteously when this was told her
that each and every one Of the direc-
! tors dove down into their pockets and
gave her sufficient amount of money
to tide her over for few days at least.
Sebastian Meyer, man about fifty
years old, with a hideously disfgured
face, asked for admittance to the home.
Director Dickert explained that he
could work hard, but qualified by add
ing, "at times"
us this inability to work hard at
times mental or a physicalainabil-
ity?" asked Director Fuller
well. some people are born tired"
replied Mr.. Dickert.
Sebastian was finally admitted to the
home, with the understanding that he
is to work. and that the moment he
gets tired he is to be sent away.
Julius Schneppe, one-armed organ
grinder, applied for aid. He said he
| supported himself and his wife in the
summer by playing the hand-organ,
but that in the winter he couldn't
make any money. The case was re-
ferred to Director Dickert. At the end
of the meeting Mrs. Duggan, who came
in, heard that relief had been granted
Schneppe.
Why" said she, hes got bank ac-
count" Mr.. Dickert promised to in
vestigate before he gave any relief. A
number of other cases were considered.

STEVENSoN'S SAMOA.
Subject of Mrs. Emma Shaw Col
cleugh's Address Last Night.

Mrs. Emma Shaw COlcleugh gave
her second lecture in her course last
night before large and appreciative
audience. She was happily introduced
by c. Fl. Welles. She stood on a dais
at the extreme end of the French
drawing room, where the mantel was
half hidden by delicate vines, ferns
and orchids.
The subject of the evening was
"Stevenson's Samoa" and it was in
tensely interesting. She recounted the
early history of the Samoan Islands
and spoke of the fact that America
should be peculiarly interested in Sa-
moa since it was the first experiment
in the interference of some outside
government
She told of the ineradicable habit
of the natives of making poems on all
occasions celebrating every event.

AS Stevenson said: "They are easy,

TOUR OF INVESTIGATION,

Buffalo has one of the finest switch
boards in the country. and the work.
ings are down to such point that the
chief has tabs on every man and house
in the department. 1t was great treat
to have the business explained in all
its forms. The party We're conducted
through the fire boats and by the cour-
tesy of Captain Adams, who is in
charge, given many valuable points as
to the workings of that particular arm
of the fire service.
The party spent Friday evening visit
ing some of the different hose and truck
houses in the central portion of the city
and We're treated royalty lby the men,
bers and officers. The "star-gazer" was
the cOgnomen given to certain mem.
ber of the party, as he was continually
gazing around and looking for curios.
Another one of the party was the
badge fiend," always ready to grasp
the hand of one who had a surplus Of
badges.
Still another was the "heavyweght," !"
who did not consider that the meal was
complete unless he had half a chicken.
1t seeems that he was not satisfied un-
less the Chicken was forthcoming.
Last. but not least. was the eight
weight" who was bound to take the
trip 'around the horn" Gas the four
teen mile trip starting from Niagara
Falls and going over the river and up
the Canadian side and back is called.
On the party's arrival this particular
member was told of 1t. but 1t being too
late then. he was bound to take it in
on the return to Buffalo. and he did
it with vengeance. The last of the
party arrived home on the following
Sunday morning, and all voted this
outing the most enjoyable and instruct
i've trip they had ever had.
They were treated with courtesy
wherever they met firemen, whether In
the Keystone or Empire state, and say
to all brother firemen that if II is their
fortune to be In Buffalo or Niagara
Falls at any time they shall not fail
to visit the members of the fire Depart
ment and make themselves known.
