(Hj- Associated Preis.)
ATLANTA, GA., May 7.?Tho second
day's session of the National Conference
of Charities and Corrections was opened
to-day with an Invocation by Bishop Ben?
jamin J. Keiley, of Savannah, Oa. The
genern] schedule of the day was "county
and municipal Institutions," "outdoor re?
lief and vugrance."
DiiEivnrs report.
Dr. Drewry, Superintendent of tho Cen?
tral Stato Hospital at Petersburg, Va.,
BUbmitt?>d tlio following report:
"I respoctfully submit Ilia following re?
port regarding the public charities and
corrections of Virginia, confining myself
to the subjects embraced In your recent
letter, via:
"1. Progress made ?luring the last year:
(a) New or proposed legislation; (b) New
or proposed-institutions?Sta-te, county or
municipal.
"2. Tho present needs of tho State ns
regards institutions and legislation.
"3. Tho public sentiment as regards
the work of charities and correction In the
State; what bas been done to stimulate I
It; how has It been mado manliest; how
can it bo further increased and strength?
ened?
"1, (a) The Legislature now in extra
cession has enacted laws (In conformity
?with the provisions of the new Constltu-.
tlon) regulating the management of the
hospitals for tho insane and of the peni?
tentiary, which will tend t > Infuse new
life, wherever needed, In tbese Institution
and keep them on as high a plane of ex- j
cellency as posslhle. Each hospital Is
now under the immediate control of '*
special board, composed of three members
nnd the special boards of the several hos?
pitals (four In number, three for whites
and one for negroes) constitute a general
?board, which has supervision over all
the hospitals and shapes and directs the
policy of managemelt, which promises to
be of a progressive.nature.
"Thero is also a commissioner of hos?
pitals, whoso duty It Is to examine
monthly the books and accounts of the
several Institutions, establish and main?
tain a uniform system of book-keeping
and see that all funds appropriated for
maintenance are expended in the manner
and for the purposes proscribed by the
Legislature. The term of Lhe commis?
sioner Is four aniJ that of each director,
six years. Formerly the terms of the di?
rectors were throe years. The terras of
superintendents and other officers have
been lengthened from two to four years.
The general board apiolnts the superin?
tendents: the several special boards ap?
point the other officers, and the super?
intendents appoint all other employes of
the respective Institution.
- "The bill provides for the cure In the
hospitals of what Is generally termed
?harmless nnd senile dements.
TUB CRIMINAL INSANK.
"A most excellent feature of the new
statute is that one which provides that
"if any person convicted of crime nnd
sentenced to confinement In the Stnte
penitentiary becomo Insane during the
term for which he hns been convicted and
sentenced, he shall b- confined and treat?
ed in a special ward in the State peni?
tentiary to be set aside and reserved for
suph insane criminals.
"The new Constitution nnd the revised
statute provide for tho appointment by
tho Governor of a board of five direc?
tors, with a term of five years each, to
manage the Slate penitentiary, appoint
the superintendent, physician, etc. For?
merly tho board of directors was com?
posed of three persons, the superintendent
was elected by tho Legislature nnd the
physician was appointed by the Governor,
Under the new law tho superintendent
appoints all tho assistants, guards, etc.
"Excellent business men have been se?
lected by tho Govornor to control and
direct the management of the hospitals
and tho penitentiary.
"The habitual drunkard came in for
consideration at tho hands of the Leg?
islature. Under certain conditions nnd re?
strictions, he may bo committed for four
months or longer, to the care and control
of a private institution.
"(b) No now State Institution has been
established, but considerable improve?
ments have beon mode at nearly all the
existing ones.
"The penitentiary hOB received special
attention on the pnrt of the State gov?
ernment. A large, building designed and
constructed on modem up-to-date plana
Is In course of erection. The cost will be
about $2(>0,000. It will h? a credit to the
State.
NEW nUILLTNGS.
?Tn place of tbe building nt the Eastern
State Tiosltal, which wns destroyed by
fire In January, 1892, a magnificent struc?
ture, thoroughly equipped In every partic?
ular, haa been completed. Now Virginia
has accommodations nt her hospitals to
care for nil her insane.
"In Richmond city nnd In a few of the
counties, new modern Jails have been
erected; but In many of the counties the
Jails and poorhouses are not nt all cred?
itable to this great Stale nnd her nobTu
people. I
"2. Htnto Instltiitdnr? nr? specially
needed for three classes! epileptics, the j
f"ieble-mlnded, and tho colored deaf, dumb I
nnd blind. For a number of years efforts
have been made to havo established a
colony for epileptics and there Is strong
sentiment In th? Stato favorable to it. !
interest In tho matter has by no means
waned. There |h a crying need for Stute
c?re und supervision of Idiots and the
feeble-minded. At present there Is no
school, asylum or other place provided
In the State for these unfortunates,
?The State has not yet minie any pro
vlston for ihe education' of the colored
deaf dumb ami blind children, though
n bill was Introduced In tho legislature
last ?Inter looking to the establishment
Of fuch :i school.
"The most Important legislation needed
I- that to establish Sid provide for s
Stats Board of Charities, to Inspect and
report upon the condition and needs of
:.!! charitable and penal institutions?
State, county and municipal. Earnest ef?
forts are being made by the State Con?
ference of Charities and Correction ?ad
h number of lovers of mankind who be?
lieve in lifting up ihiir fellowmen, to
bring about a Slate Board of Charities.
?Progress ?? being made In that direction,
und ultimate success will result.
"3. There bus been considerable Inter?
est manifested in charltlei and correction
througtitoul tho State by local benevolent
organization A widespread public. sent?
ment as regard? work along; these lines Is
evident, but thore is lack of organization
in many quarters and Ignorance of tHu

OUTDOOR POOR.
William H, Allen, general agent of tho
New York Mission for Improving the
Condition of the Poor, delivered an ad?
dress, tnklng as his subject "Special Par?
asite or Social Product." Tho salient por?
tion of his address follows;
"One phase of vagrancy Infects a grent
number of people and represents a great
menace to social welfare, tho source and
support of tho Individual vagrant and the
stronghold of the disease. I rofcr to tho
vngrnncy of giving, that tramp philan?
thropy, that superficial pnmnrltnnlsm,
that vngrrnnt Interest In one's fellow
men, which purchases self-complncenoy,
relief from annoyance, reputation for gen?
erosity and spurious mortgages on man?
sions in tho skies, from venders of hard
luck stories, Inventors of mutilated limbs
and exhibitors of moral find physical de?
formities. Our problem Is primarily to
convinco and correct this eltlzen-giver
rather than to convince and reclaim the
tramp."
Other addresses upon the general sub?
ject of vngrancy wore given by Joseph
Forbes, of Now York,, and Livingston
Minis, of Atlanta. During tho' afternoon
sectional meetings were held.

Miss., in July, 1801, Under Foreign Sec?
retary BacooJU Bald that In spite of the
activity of Italian, consular and diplo?

gress had voted $50,000 for tho families
of tho victims, but to this measure the
Italian government remained a stranger,

Case Similar to the Famous
Indianola One.
NEGRO CARRIER STOPPED
Warned Not to Continue in Service Un
der Penalty of Death?Poslmaster
General Has Ordered Thor?
ough Investigation of Affair.
(By Assoclntcd Press.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 7.-The
Post?nico Department was notified olll
cially to-day that John C. Allgood, a col?
ored rural delivery letter carrier, while
making his regular trip near Gallatin,
Tenn., was stopped by men armed and
masked, and that he and his colored sub?
stitute carrier were warned not to con?
tinue In tho service under penalty of
death. Postmaster-General Payne has
suspended service on tho route, pending
Investigation, nnd If tho reports of tho
affair are confirmed summary action will
follow. The Incident may become a sec?
ond indianola case. The news of the af?
fair reached the Postmaster-General to?
day In a telegram from Postmaster H.
Swaney, of Gallatin.
The rural carrier route was put in effect
March 1st last. There were five appli?
cants under tho civil service rules'for
appointment as rural carrier. The three
men passing the highest on the list wero
all colored. Under the civil service rules
the Postma-ster-General says there is no
option with the department except to
appoint the person who stands highest
on tho list: therefore, Allen F. DUlard,
colored, was appointed. He resigned
about three weeks ago, and on tho 26th
of last month the Civil Service Board cer?
tified the second man on tho list, John
C Allgood, colored.
Postmaster-General Payne later Bald if
the facts were as reported only two
courses of action would be open, namely:
To abolish the route and leave the people
thereon without thnt service, or to send
soldiers to the scene to protect the car?
rier In the performance of his duty. Mr.
Pnyno said the former course was tho
more probable. He cnlled attention to the
civil service status of the carriers, and
said that the appointees wero secured
through the Civil Service Commission,
their selection, therefore, not being op?
tional with Tilm.
It is said at the department thnt the
penalties' provided by law for sdeh of?
fenses are covered In sections 3869 nnd
2W? of the revised statutes. Tho former
reads as follows:
"Every person who wilfully and mali?
ciously assaults any letter carrier who Is
in uniform while engaged on his route In
tho discharge of his duty as a letter car?
riel', and every person who wilfully aids
or assists therein shall for every such
offense bo punishable by a fine of not less
than $100 and not moro than $1,000, or by
imprisonment for not less than one year
and not more than three years."
Tho other section provides that "any
person who shnll knowingly nnd wilfully
obstruct or retard the passage of a mail
onrrler shall for every such offense be
punishable by a line of not more than
$100."
It Is pointed out that the difference be?
tween theso ponnltles hinges on the wear?
ing of tho uniform, and also that the word
"assault" within the meaning of the law
contemplates Just such an offense as that
reported.

POE MANUSCRIPT
SOLD AT AUCTION
Dingy Papers Bring More than
the Poet Earned During
Years He Wrote Them.
A dispatch from Philadelphia Thursday
snys: It was ICdgar Allan Poe's day at
Davis & Harvey's liook auction rooms to?
day. For a few manuscripts, nil dingy nnd
discolored, and an armful of tattered first
editions, eager bidders paid In all $5,35G.fiO?
a fur larger sum It is safe to say, than
Poh'h entire earnings during tho unhappy
years no spent fit an Arch Street boarding
house lu Philadelphia while editing Gra'
ham's Magazine, between 1838 nnd 18<14.
There was spirited bidding at the Harold
Pierce library suie ovor the original man?
uscript of "The Hells," a roll of blue writ?
ing jmper, scarcely a yard In length. Tho
manuscript, neatly written In Poe's pecu?
liar clerkly hand, contains numerous
changos, It was started at $500, wont up
with a rush to $l.fi00, and thence by Jumps
of ?M and $100 to $2,000. Tho coterie of
New York curio hunter? were filent, but
one of the pary finally added tiO, to he
promptly met by a similay riso. "Lot him
havo It," said tho New Yorker. "If It
wart $21,000 he'd l>ay It."
fieorge II. Klgby, of Philadelphia, was
tho purchaser.
For "Al Aaraaef," bound with "Tam
erlnno" and Poo's mln'jr piicnuj, George
11. Klchinoiid, New York, paid $1,826.
Mr. Hii'hrnond uJho bought tile manu?
script of Poe'9 poem, "For Annie," paying
}l_0, and n manuscript acrostic by tho
poet to "KlUnbeth" for $75. Another man?
uscript acrostic- ir> tho sanio fair cousin
was bought by "William Brooks for $-75.
These two graceful acrostics do not ap?
pear In any of Foe's works and have
never been published,
Tho two days' salo netted nearly |39,(*)0,
according to Auctioneer Henkel'g un t??

last night and, as commltteemen, trans?
uded a whole lot of buslnoss.
For the first time since tho appropria?
tion of ?7.0U0 was given the Street Com?
mittee, ?something dellnlte in reference
to its disposition was done by the com?
mittee and It is quite likely, that within
a month or two big piles of bricks und
stono will mark the beginning of per?
manent Improvements to some of tho
streets.
It was decided at tho meeting last
night that the sum of $4,600 should be
equally divided between the four wards
for permanent work. Tho remainder of
the $7,000 has been or will bo used In tem?
porary and emergency work, and in the
payment for two extra men .on the
streets.
When It was agreed that the money
should so be divided in accordance with
instructions from the City Council, the
delegation from the Fourth Ward asked
the City Engineer to get bids for streot
and sldowalk Improvements on Balnbrldge
Street from Cowardln Avenue to Twen?
tieth Street and on Semmes Streot frdm
Thirteenth Street to the Avenue.
This was the cue for slrtitlar movements
and Mr, Hooker, representing tho First
Ward, asked for the cost of similar work
on Stockton Street from Fifth to Sev?
enth. Mr. Sampson, on behalf of the
Second Ward, followed this up by asking
for bids for work of a similar nature on
Semmes Street from Ninth to Thirteenth,
Including brick sidewalks.
The amount that goes to each ward
under the division scheme Is $1,120, which
tho councllmen concede will not do a
groat amount of work, but they are de?
termined to carry that work as far as
tho funds go this yoar, with the view of
extending it next nnd so- on until the
streets of the city present a favorable
impression to both citizens and strangers.
THIRD WARD MEETING.
The Third Ward delegation will hold a
meeting next Wednesday night to deter?
mine as to'the disposition of the portion
and It Is likely that the amount will bo
placed on Stockton Street.
The City Engineer was directed lo make
certain improvements at Fifth and
Stockton StreetB, not to exceed $160. which
amount will come from the First Ward's
share of tho appropriation.
A subcommittee of two?Messrs. Fergu?
son and Barrett?were appointed to furth?
er look Into tho matter of opening the
street leading from tho O'Connor estate
to Semmes Avenue.

MANY THOUSANDS
(By Associated Press.)
REDLANDS, CAL., May 7.?President
Roosevelt was formally welcomed to Cal?
ifornia' to-day before a crowd estimated
at ten thousand. The enthusiasm dis?
played must have reminded the guest in
whoso honor the demonstratlo.n had been
planned, that California's ' hospitality
really was what he cared It to be. At tho
east sido of the grounds, Company G,
California National Guard, was stationed.
The New York society waa at the south
and along the west sido were the 1". Jr.
C. A. cadets In uniforms. On the corner
opposite the balcony from which the
"President spoke, 1,600 school children
wero seated on a grandstand. As tho
President approached each of tho chil?
dren waved a flag and then their young
voices wero often raised In cheers. They
also sang the National airs, President
Roosevelt was welcomed to the State by
Governor Pardee and others.
Tho great throng cheered itself hoarse
when tho President arose to deliver his
address. He_ppoko on Irrigation and good
citizens,..p and praised the beauty of
California. The party left here at 3
o'clock for San Bernardino, where a
short stop was made. The night will bo
spent at Riverside.

JAIL OFFICIALS
ARE SUSPENDED
Charged With Carelessness in
Allowing Prisoners to
Escape.
City Engineer Cutshaw took occasion
last night, at a meeting of the Grounds
and Buildings Committee, to defend tho
now City Jail against a number of durs
that have been recently made as a reBtilt
of tho delivery of four trusty prisoners.
In doing so he intimated that tho es?
cape was due entirely to carelessness on
tho part rif tho prison keopors and could
never have been consumo tod had due dili?
gence and care been ohserved.
Barring the transaction of a few rou?
tine matters, the two liours or more tho
committee was In session, wero devoted
to a general discussion of the mucli-talk
ed-of prlHon, and It was during the
courso of this talk that City Engineer
Cutshaw spoke of tho recent Jail delivery,
In substance, Colonel Cutshaw suld the
prisoners oould never ?^\ve reached the
coal chuto man-hole^ through whfoh they
gained their liberty unless assisted by n
ladder and a number of barrels. He dc-'
nlod that the chute was broken at tho
time it was put in and said If such was
tho caso It had been ruined by inmates
of tho prison, being broken by the reck?
less handling of wood.
It developed at the gathering that City
Sergeant Smith and Judge Witt, of the
Hustings Court, are very, much of tj"e
sumo opinion as la tho City Engineer, as
a result of which Deputy City Sergeant
Taylor lias been suspended from further
oonnoctlon with the Jail for the present.
At the suggestion of Judge Wilt, Pat
Rowers hns been detailed as first deputy
at tho Jnil, and ho is now tho (?Ulcer In
authority when Mr. Smith Is not about.
In addition, two guards, Messrs. Chlld
rcss and Gunn, havo been suspended.
