HAD NO POETIC FEELING.
Retired Poet Sorely Tried by Prosalc
Companion.

A retired poet, who is prospecting
in the Rockies, writes to a friend his
impressions of the scenery. When
ever l can" he says, Il slip out on
some lone peak and drink in thirsty
soulful of sunrises and sunsets, pine
song, star-dream, and all the myriad
entertainments of virgin nature. There
is a heauty-fantasy, a joy-illusion
about every slope that lifts its tree
fringed lines up to the solemn, snow
crusted heights. In all these runes
and hieToglyphics l read Gods beauty
message unto man, who refuses to
read. The other day l was out with a
man on horseback, and the cliffs and
tints of mountainside so appealed to

LIGHT
On the Charges
Made
That Girls We're Brutal
Iy Punished.
Senate Orders an Investigation at
Delaware.

Columbus. O., April BY almost
unanimous vote the Senate has
adopted the Decker resolution calling
upon the State Board of Charities to
investigate the reports of inhuman
punishment at the Girls lndustrial
Home, Delaware. The Senators who
voted against the resolution We're Pat
terson Overturf, Watts and Writ.
The resolution was called up the last
thing before the Senate adjourned
Wednesday. Senator Decker explain
ed that the newspapers had been teem-
ing with stories about brutal modes
of punishment in vogue at Delaware.
He said these charges had been
brought out by the delayed announce
ment that Nora Ferris. Of Jackson
county. was found dead in straight
jacket at the institution a year ago.
Senator Decker explained that if the
charges were true an investigation was
necessary and even If they were not
true the Senate should take cognizance
of the complaints for the purpose Of
iViItNluS tut VI thC
attached to it by reason of the public
discussion of the complaints.
He offered an amendment to the
original resolution, which provided
that the State Board of Charities
should make the investigation. The
amendment made it the duty of the
Senate Committee on Public Institu.
tions to do the probing.
The amendment was lost and the
original resolution was carried as set
forth above.
Just when the State Board of Char
tiles will make the investigation which
the Senate desires Is not known now
The resolution not only calls upon the
State Board to do little probing, but
also makes the same demand OH Gov.
Nash, for the Governor is president
ex otficio of the Board of Charities.
Gov. Nash said that the request of the
Senate woulu he complied with and
that 1t was now ''up to" the Board
Of Charities.
The law authorizing the creation Of
the State Board of Charities reads:
"The Governor, in his discretion. may
at any time order an investigation by
the Board or by committee Of it's
members, of the management of any
penal reformatory or charitable insti-
cution, and making such investigation
shall have power TO send for persons
and papers and to administer oaths
and atfirmations."

A POPULAR PLAN.

The plan submitted to the City Com
missioners Thursday by the trustees
pf the City hospital will no doubt meet
with universal favor when 1t Is thor
pughly understood. 1t provides a way
Tor freeing that institution from debt,
and establishing 1t upon a permanent
basis, with every taxpayer contribut-
ing to the support Of unfortunate per-
sons unable to pay for care and treat
ment In cases Of sickness and accident.
Tho plan was presented by trustees
of the hospital, and 1t was stated that
the city will not be asked to CON
tribute a cent toward paying off the
present Indebtedness of the institu-
lion. IL Is desired TO establish the
permanent endowment of the hospital
upon basis of $4,000, with stipula-
tion that no part of the principal be
used for expenses. The interest alone
will be at command for such purposes.
AS 1t is now, there Is a large deficit
in the endowment fund, but the trus-
tees of the hospital have guaranteed
that the deficit will be restored, and
the fund so established that 1t will
never be reduced again, To restore It,
Mr.. O. G. Barber and Col. Geo. r.
Perkins have alone offered to con
tribute S2b, 900, and all the taxpayers
OF the city are asked to do IL to pay
the charity expenses, which seldom
amount to more than $1,000 II year
In this way the expense of caring 70
unfortunate ones in their distress will
not be borne by small number o
citizens.
And as further guarantee tina
the citizens of the city will make n
mistake by meeting the oblgatlo
imposed by the trustees, the Commls
sioners were informed that IL every
thing goes well in the new plan, within
the next two years there viii b
either new hospital that will d
credit 10 the city. or large addition
will he made TO the present building
This means that II the taxpayers 1
general do their share, the result wi
be of permanent honor and benef
10 the city.
The Commissioners have alrcad
taken steps toward accepting the proI
osition, and whatever they do
meeting the obligations win undoub
edy be approved by the people.
