II was recommended that the kitchen
and dining room should be removed
from the dormitory buildings to pro-
vide room for additional beds.
The report added that there was an
insufficient supply Of food, clothing,
shoes and stockings. In this regard 1t
was pointed out that acquisitions
served upon Commissioner Kingsbury
or his subordinates throughout the
present year have been ignored and
that inmates suffered severely and
wound their feet with strips OF cloth
and gauze when obtainable; that the
custom among the women was TO wash
their almost woTnout stockings IN the
bathroom, letting them dry over night:
The men, after bathing, were forced
to put on again the stockings, or what
was left of them. which they had taken
Off" The report adds:
1--WE find the food-its preparation,
service, quantity and quality-is unsat-
isfactory Half an ounce Of butter a
day, and that with bread only at night;
four ounces of milk instead OF eight
is the schedule for inmates on a full
diet. On five days week soup for
dinner, and neither tea nor coffee.
Very small prunes, and only from two
TO four in d portion, and stewed dried
peaches, sthe only fruits allowed, while
apples are plentiful-never more so
and cheap.
"The impression all through the visi-
tation and inspection was most depress-
ing. Any one with heart must feel
that these poor people are not properly
cared for. Their wants are ignored;
their appetites, infirmities, comfort and
health disregarded. Surely the de-
partment is making the bread of pow
erty bitter with an unnecessary and
unfeeling bitterness"
Praises Subordinates.
After paying a tribute to the heads
and managers of the schools and hos
pitfalls for feeble-minded children on
Randall's Island for their ability and
fidelity, the report says in regard to
these institutions under Commissioner
Kingsbury's administration:
1--WE find that there is little cO-opera-
ton or consideration displayed by the
higher officials Of the department in
the management Of the island. and the
same disregard of requests for sup
plies noted in the institutions on Black
wells Island is apparent here. Requi-
sitions are neglected until, IN instances
the lack of necessities is pitiable.
1--WE find such a lack OF shoes and
stockings as 10 hamper the order OF
daily life, upset discipline and keep
the children in the stuify wards when
they should be in the open, going about
their duties and keeping in health. A
great many children are without shoes

Stockings are washed at night after the
children are in bed
The report adds that the cutters and
roofs of the dormitOries and reception

there should be a separation OF the
normal children from the feeble mind

IMPERSONATED
MOTHER OF GOD
Russian Women and Two
Accomplices Are Now
on Trial.
HAS MANY FOLLOWERS
Despite Wild Fantasies and Loose
Conduct Woman Holds Sway
Over Superstitious Minds
of Great Number.
HAS MANY FOLLOWERS

st. Petersburg, April 25'-Daria
Smiraova, a peasant woman, is on
trial here for impersonating the
mother of God, and swindling $4,000
out of those who believed in her wild
fantasies.
With her are being tried two ac-
completes, Peter Smironff, her son,
and Denis Shemeteff The proceedings
are secret, but remarkable details of
her operations are being published.
1t appears that Daria had since
1901, when she settled i village
close to Okhta, one of st. Petersburg S
suburbs, been giving herself out as
Gods mother, sent down to earth by
God to reveal to SHINING mankind new
truth and bring them new salvation.
In spite Of the proximity of the
capital, she succeeded il omposing
upon a vast multitude of common peo-
pie, and so great became the fame of
the 'Okhta Gods mother" as she was
blasphemously called, that disciples
would flock to her even from distant
provinces.
Made On st. Peter.
At first her husband was in alli-
ance with her, but as she liked the
company of other men, jealousy
gradually drove him away, and it was
he who really informed the police OF
her escapades. When he was gone
she made Byemeteff her most impor
tant lieutenant by proclaiming him to
be ST. Peter the Apostle, and next to
him her own son, who she declared
was none other than King Solomon.
With ST. Peter on one hand, and
King Soloman on the other, she would
suit herself on cushions in the mid
die of a room, surrounded by her
followers, and set out her tents,
which were strange mixture of COM
mon-life morality, such as the godli-
ness of sobriety and of personal hon
esty, with the most equivocal super
stitions, remndful of the rites OF
AStarte.
She would hold forth against the
establishmed order or church, in
which she saw the incarnation of the
devil, and preach il spite of her own
example to the contrary, the virtue
focelibacy. Many unsavory details
obout her rites are set out in the ACT
of Indictment, but her sway over the
superstitious minds of her followers
seems, notwithstanding, to have been
enormous.
The favorite punishment which
she inflicted upon the sinners, was
fastening in a sort of solitary con
finement, and oftern the unfortunate
victims would hold out the fast fol
weeks at a stretch. One woman
Dunia the prophecies. actually died
from voluntary starvation.
OF course, the object was merely tt
get money. Every one would give
Daria of his or her last money
clothes, and even provisions-an ir
this way, the act of indictment says
she has contrived to get together
from these poor people some $75..
600.
