Mr.  Hay.  How  often  did  the  superintendent  who  preceded  Doctor
White  come  to  the  store?

Mr.  Harnish.  Very  often.  He  used  to  come  there  and  tell  me
when  he  would  see  a  shelf  empty

Mr.  Hay.  Who  came  through  and  told  you?

Mr.  Habnish.  I  say  that  Doctor  Richardson  when  he  was  there —
poor  feUow — ^when  he  would  see  a  shelf  or  two  that  was  empty  he
would  always  say  *'  You  have  got  to  get  something  to  put  on  it.^'  All
our  shelves  are  empty  now.
Mr.  Hay.  What  was  the  custom  and  habit  of  the  institution
before  the  presei^t  superintendent  took  charge  with  regard  to  the
distribution  to  the  inmates  of  fruits,  such  as  apples,  oranges,  and
fruits  of  that  kind?    Did  you  always  keep  them  in  stock?

Mr.  Habnish.  Yes,  sir;  I  did.  I  always  kept  them  in  stock.
Doctor  Richardson  was  very  Hberal,  and  so  was  Doctor  Grodding.
Mr.  Hay.  As  I  understand  it  the  running  of  that  store  costs  more
now  than  it  did  before?

Mr.  Habnish.  I  don't  know.    I  couldn't  say.
Mr.  Hay.  We  can  count  it  up.  You  have  4  men  employed
there

Mr.  Habnish.  Oh,  I  thought  you  meant  about  the  goods.  Excuse
me.
Mr.  Hay.  No.    One  man  gets  $1,6001

Mr.  Habnish.  Yes,  sir.
Mr.  Hay.  And  you  get  $720?

Mr.  Habnish.  Yes,  sir.
Mr.  Hay.  And  two  other  men  get  $35  a  month  each,  which  would
be  $840,  would  it  not?

Mr.  Habnish.  Yes,  sir.
Mr.  Hay.  And  before  you  got  $900  and  Mr.  Barry  got  $900  and
Mr.  Cropp  got  $30  a  month?

Mr.  Habnish.  Yes,  sir.  There  used  to  be  a  lady  in  there  with
Mr.  Ham.  There  was  a  lady  in  there,  and  that  would  make  four.
