nounced the Mccormick dicker.
Judge Koch presided at the meet
ing and DR.. Brumbaugh was given an
ovation in which Henry Houck and
other speakers shared.
In his speesh the doctor said:
After declaring that he favored a
State civil service law to insure to the
Commonwealth efficient employees, DR..
Brumbaugh said:
"I do not want the honor of this Of
fice 1 do not want the patronage. I
simply want to serve the State 1 love
and help to work another page in her
splendid history. Do not be blinded,
however, to the fact that conspirators
are seeking to get hold of this fat
patronage in order to build up a great

Republican Pennsylvania"
"If you want" continued DR..
Brumbaugh, "a political administration
of affairs in Harrisburg in which some
body somewhere in subtle and devious
ways can suggest to your Executive

you don't want to vote for me for
Governor, because you won't get it

"If to that you are willing to add
that the men who serve you in public

business ability and capacity, but shall

Horrible Conditions.
Real Admiral Fletcher's decision to
1ay 10 remove all prisoners from the
fortress at San Juan DE Ulua was
reached after an inspection had been
made by Commander II. O. Stickney
inspector OF the port and customs who
occupied the place by officers especlaI-
~ detailed for that work The inspec-
tion by the American authorities vert
ned the tales that had been written
and told for generations of the terrible
conditions prevailing there Many
dungeons were below the water line
when the tide was running in at which
time the inmates. many of whom were
half blind on account OF their long IN
generation In semi-darkness. were
drenched. Other dungeons were so
constructed that II was impossible for
the victims TO lie down. Ancient de
vices of torture were discovered and
there was evidence that these recently
had been in use.
Among those held in confinement
were men once OF prominence but
whose names have been almost forgot
ten: men who had been there so long
that their minds were a blank and men
so enfeebled by the treatment they
had received as TO insure their trans
fer 10 hospitals instead OF TO prisons.
Pitiable Appearance.
The appearance or the prisoners
was pitiable. Emaciated figures stun.
bled forward to thank the inspecting
officers for their delivery. Long
boards in many cases were matted
over dirty countenances on which
once the fashionable element OF the
federal capital had looked. for many
OF those imprisoned were once promi-
nent in society. in politics and In the
army.
Each succeeding administration per.
petuated the use OF this ancient fort
ress as a prison-a use to which u
was put by the Spaniards.
Commander Stickney today was or
dered to take over the prison with its
shops and everything else pertaining
to IL. Such shop work as required by
Mexicos navy had been done there.
The handling OF and providing for the
poor OF Vera Cruz also was taken in
hand today. The poor were beginning
TO suffer slightly for want of food

dertook the task of providing for
them. Not DESTROYS. however. of pau.
