                         INSPECTION OF COUNTY POOR HOUSES.
                         
              HENNEPIN COUNTY POORHOUSE was visited April 20, 1892.
            There were 45 inmates; 8 women and 37 men. The largest
            number during the past winter has been 53. The number
            has usually ranged from 80 to 90. The decrease in num-
            bers is ascribed partly to the work of the "Little
            Sisters of the Poor."
              The house had been renovated and repaired. The broken
            plaster had been renewed. The halls and dining room were
            neatly papered. The house was very neat and clean and
            free from odors. The dinner was inspected. it consisted
            of pea soup with pork, boiled potatoes, beets, excellent
            bread pudding, tea with sugar and milk. The food was
            abundant, well cooked and well served. The adminstration
            of the house appeared to be excellent in every respect.
