of the City of New York, and the reading
of letters which had been received from
former Vice President Adlai E. Stevenson
and Governor Hoke Smith and Hillary A.
Herbert, members OF Mr.. Cleveland's cabi-
net. This meeting had been looked forward

general memorial meeting for Mr.. Cleve-
land to be held in this city on March Is of
next year.
For the afternoon session a taxation con-
ference was planned, with addresses by

manager OF the association, on objects

The morning meeting was called to order
by Robert Lynn Cox and President Charles

company acted as chairman. Paul Morton,
president of the Equitable Life Assurance
society, in the opening address spoke Of
MI. Cleveland in a personal way and of
his connection with the life insurance bust
ness.
John Finley, president of the College of
the City OF New York, spoke of the SPLEEN
did example of the late President Cleve-
land In his public and private career.
Letters of tribute to the late president by
surviving members OF his cabinet were

Smith of Georgia.
A letter was sent by Hillary A. Herbert,
secretary of the navy under Grover Cleve-
land.
Adlai f. Stevenson sent a letter highly

CIeveIand's Kindness.
Judson Harmon, governor-elect Of Ohio,

cells in the present structure. The sewer
age system is not large enough to premit
of an increase in the cell room. The
present buildings accomdate about 300
people. After the flood in Lincoln last
summer It took us two or thre weeks to
get the buildings in sanitary condition.
1T is reported that the government in
tends to abandon the Genoa Indian school.
If that report is true the state, 1t seems to
me-, could easily acquire that property,
which, I understand, includes quite n
farm. 1t could be altered and a fence con-
structed around it and the young prisoners
! could be transferred there and taught farm
work.
These young men, while bright and
fairly educated, do not know how to work
or make a living. 1t is practically i'm
possible for the young of today to learn a
trade. If he works in a shoe factory he
becomes expert in making a certain part
of the shoe, but never makes a whole one.
If he works in a harness factory he be-
comes expert in making certain pieces, but
never makes a full set OF harness. Put
these young men on a farm, teach them
to work, give them good health, and when
they have served their time, they will be
able to compete for a living with any one"

state Land COMMISSIONS II. Nj. Eaton
Will in his biennial report that,
owing to the crowded condition of the state
capitol building the legislature must either
abolish some of the new departments It has
created or fit up the basement for office
rooms, or move the state library and the
department Of justice to the proposed his
torical building across the STREET from the
capitol grounds
The latter can be done il the legislature
makes an appropriation for a historical
building large enough to accommodate both
the society and the department whic hit is
proposed TO house in the building.
Commissioner Eaton and State Treasurer
Brian will jointly recommend that all cash
funds Of state institutions be deposited in
the state treasury and that a system be
devised whereby the superintendent Of a
state institution may, after a permit to
purchase has been allowed by the Board Of
Public Lands and Buildings. issue a check
which will serve as a voucher upon whic
the cash funds may be drawn by warrant
on the state treasury.
Two years ago the legislature required all

OF each institution. This system is not sat

finished at a cost not TO exceed $3.50, in
