home Of our poor, but space torbidS,
but in concluding we feel it our duty
TO the management, aswell as the tax
payers Of the county. to speak Of the
excellent and economic conduct OF the
institution. Superintendent B. s.
Davis took charge last October and
the system was changed from keeping
the poor at $50 per head TO the present
system, in which the superintendent
gets fixed salary and the county
furnishes all provisions and clothing,
ETC., at the county's expense. The
total cost for the nine months was
O., $500, including permanent Inn
provements amounting to el,S10.lS.
At that rate the yearly expenditures
viii be cnrtailed more than 81, 600, or
all expenses, including permanent inn
provement, will not reach the amount
OF the current expenses for tho year
previous,
At present there are ~ inmates, IL
of which are men ranging from 80 to
rs years OF age, IL women from % TO
SO years old, 5 girls froms months to
10 years Of age, and 10 boys from 3 to
10 years Of age. At one time last WIN
ter there we're 10 inmates, but many
OF these secured homes In the spring
and went out to earn a living for
themselves. The children generally
are bright and wear splendid counte-
nances. or questionable parentagc,
old family distinctions are plainly de-
plcted In many of their faces,
Summing up conditions there our
county may we'll be proud Of the pres
ent conduct OF the institution, al
though heTelegram would respect
fully suggest that the old buildings be
suppIanted by modern structures and
conyenlences, at the earliest practical
moment.

John suPLER's RECEPTION
n Parkersbura was Warmer than The
weather and more unpleasant.

John .Supler had an unenviahle ex-
perience on the excursion to Parkers-
burg, Sunday, and received reception
In that city OF the kind he did not ex-
pect when he left home. The train
had a big crowd, collected all along the
line from Grafton. TWAS augmented
here and the conductor began to find
It interesting. AS the train entered
Brandy Gap tunnel some one on the
rear end of the train fired a pistol
Young Supler, being little hilarious
along with the boys generally, attract
ed the attention of Conductor Estep,
and the latter suspected Supler OF
firing the shot, though he had not the
slightest grounds for suspicion and
there is not scintilla Of evidence OF
Supler's guilt. A slight alteration
ensued between Supler and the con
ductor. The conductor is said to have
choked him, and he tooktwo guns from
him. One belonged to Supler and was
empty. The other was slipped int
Supler's pocket, in the darkness OF the
tunnel, just after the shooting hac
been done by some other fellow in thu
crowd. At Parkersburg Supler wa
taken in charge by an officer, but wa
released on forfeit of ten dollars.

Lawn Fsts a Brilliant Success.

The court house lawn fete Tuesday
night for the benefit OF the Opera
Honse band was a brilliant affair and
a glowing success. A number OF young
ladies, maniiestinge Dmmendable public
spiritedness, inaugurated the move
ment to render the band financial aid
and with much diligence introduced
an innovation la entertainments and
socials that materialized and culmi-
mated in an occasion OF pleasure, de-
light and splendor. These young
ladies deserve the highest audation
for this most worthy undertaking, and
the Telegram rejoices to state that the
people of Clarksburg co-operated with
them by sufficient donations Of cash
with which to defray the expenses In
cident to the occasion, encouraged the
good work by their generous presence
In large numbers, and manifested
their hearty approval by their liberal
patronage.
Tuesday afternoon the young ladies,
assisted by several members Of the
band, demonstrated their conception
Of art and beauty in handsomely deco
rating the grounds with bunting,
flags, japanese lanterns and other
adornments, the result OF which was
an artistic presentation of nature and
man's best art.
AS twilight merged into darkness
the electrical machinery was put in
motion, aud the court house lawn be
came a place Of illumination. The
gates being thrown wide open on either
side and the band playing some Of its
sweetest strains an immense crowd Of
beaux and bellcsthronged the grounds,
forming one grand continuous prone
made. Young and old commingled.
The tables were ladened with boun-
teous supplies Of dainty eatables, such
as Strawberries, cake, ice cream and
tropical fruits, served by delicate
hands, and with lovely grace and
courtesy by several very winsome
young ladies. II was an occasion to
eat, drink and be merry, and the
guests kept that object constantly in
view, They enjoyed themselves i'm
mensely and made it the most brilliant
social of the kind we have had this
season. The band was possessed Of
the spirit of the occasion and rendered
many splendid pieces. 1t was made,
indeed. memorable event. and 1t was
not the fault of the people that the
receipts OF the evening were not even
more. They exhausted the drstsupply
early in the evening and 1t had to be
replenished several times, and at the
close there was nothing left.
The unexpected happened and the
ladies were unprepared TO entertain
such large crowd, but under the cir
cumstances, they did splendidly and
received the praises Of our people gem
orally. They have just cause to be
| proud OF the high success OF the even
