Gen. Garlington's Criticism.

Gen. Darlington says that the books
and accounts of the treasurer were found
in splendid condition. but takes occasion
to criticise the system, now in vogue at
the institution. The methods OF Keeping
some of the records, he says. are prac-
tically the same as those instituted when
the home was first established. many
years ago. He says in some respects they
are laboriously kept. and In much de-
tail. but in other respects little or no
record is kept.
There is no record" says the inspec-
tor general (which shows correctly the
amount of property Of the various kinds
on hand at the home. and there is no
effective system Of accountability. Where
so much property is purchased annually.
it is wise to protect the interests of the
home by the establishment of adequate
and efficient methods in receiving and
caring for and in accounting for the prop
erty purchased. 1t is recommended that
the treasurer of the home be made re-
sponsible for all the property and that
one additional civilian clerk be authorized
to enable him to establish and carry on
complete system of property account

other one of his famous shut out

ternoon when he made the Hot

bow to his curves and slants and he
not only smeared it on but he rubbed
it in on them, being generous enough
to admit Of only two base runners to
reach first base. One of these, Left

right garden and the other, Blakeley,
reached the initial bag in the ninth

had one bad inning and that was
enough to dishearten the visitors for
