'Ihore are other iacts relatlo to u hitherto unpublishea which arc , wor- thy of the cloaost consideration b r mvn nvr rWw qtvtp FORAGING ON THL, STAlk. Not content with placing an army of incompetents on the payroll, there is positive evidence that, not oniy nave favorites neen permuieu w " their relatives with bed and board, but furnish tnoy nave oeen perm uieu iu " money from tho public tre aaury for services never rendered. In thiB con notion the name of Judge Sullivan again appears, and that, too, in con nection with a very questionable transaction. The facts are these: On the 8th day of August, 1899, Miss Keat ing voluntarily tendered her resigna tion as matron to Superintendent Lang. On that day she gave up her keys, un mat uay sne gave u,, '-'"; moved all of her effects and left tho nstitu e. sne nouneu u e -f-.- mated at from flve to thirteen, tho tendent that she had resigned.

' The ovll of this Is. that the contracts nre let in omnibus form, and, as usual ly results, the state pays more for an article by contract than it could buy it for in tho open market. By conspir ing with the steward a contractor can reap a rich harvest, and to all outsldo appearances it would bo legitimate. STALE BREAD FOR INMATES. Considerable feeling has been arouseu over the reported fact that Contractor Wolf, who furnished bread to the institute for the socond quarter of the present year, delivered two kinds fresh bread for tho oillclais and employes and stale bread for the Inmates. When asked what became of his stale bread Mr. Wolf, without re alizing perhaps the force or signifi cance of the statement, replied: "I sell It to the institute." "Do you sell two grades of bread to the ihstltuto." "Well, some o It is better than the other. The old man (meaning his do-! livery clerk) takes out some fresh bread every morning, but I don't know whether ho loaves any at tho institute or not. What I send out there for the institute is the unsold bread I get re- turned from the grocery stores." "Do you ever tako stale bread back from the grocery stores?" .,X?,Sl wnat OO JOU OO VlUl It. "I sell it to tho Institute." "Do you take hack any stale bread from tho Institute?" "No." Other bakers aro required to soil their stale bread, and do It evoiy day, for five cents a barrel. It is used for food for hogs and horses. Not so with Contractor Wolf. Ho sold his to tho state for $2.40 per hundred pounds. When asked about It Superintendent Lang persisted in a flat denial and de clared that, so far as he knew, thero was not a word of truth in It. Ho said that ho and his wife used tho same quality of brend supplied to the in mates. The bread received was re-. colved by tho steward and not by Su- ' perlntendent Lang and Superintendent , Lang would therefore know little or, nothing about tho quality of tho ma-, torlal delivered However, tho author ity for tho statement that stale bread was delivered Is Contractor Wolf, tho man who delivered the iroods.
