ACCORDING to those who should
know what they are talking about,
the Trustees OF the Poor OF New
Castle county do not receive the al.
towauce that 10 collected from the
people for maintaining the poor Of
the county. There Is over $45, 900
raised each year BY taxation for
the maintenance OF the poor in this
county and this year the appropri-
etion is only $55,0O0. The number
Of inmates Of the county institution
ut this writing is but ISL and be-
lore the winter 10 over It will run
up to 200, il not over that number.
All Of this mooev Is not used for the
support Of the inmates as the money
lor outside relief comes out OF this.
The outside relief will average at
least $4,000 a quarter which has
been a source OF much vexation to
the mem bers Of the Boad to keep It
within the proper limits. AT the
same time the Trustees have been
cautioned to keep the amount down
10 the lowest cost. Iii hard to
turn deserving applicants for help
away empty.handed, the Trustees
tontendiog that it cost the county
less money to help these poor unlor-
Inmates than to have them scni to

mates as consequence find refuge

Ragtine Music.

In a sermon on 1.-THE Mortality of
Music" delivered at st. Georges Epis
copal church, st. Louis, the other
night, Rev. Robert A. Hollan emphati-
cally denounced "ragtime" music and
compared it with the music heard in
st. Louis on the occasion of the recent
visit of Theodore Thomas to the city,
which music he declared to be food
for the soul, a transport, rapture, a
hallelujah which attested the joy of
virtue and the bliss of perfect charac-
ter"
"Ragtime," said the preacher, lis OBJ
scene, degrading, unworthy of produc-
ton. Those who made it may not
know it's real meaning, for it comes
from the animal in man, and to that
animal it appeals. 1t is the measure
and motion of the cakewalk.
"It had its American birth in the
Chicago Midway and it has spres d
Midway sensations wherever it has
gone. Anyone in st. Louis last sum-
mer when the windows we're open and

summer gardens could have smelled
sour beer throughout the city's at

shifted as he passed along the streets"
