read, appear, the old ones drop ont,

The Insane Hospital,

The annual report of the Insane Hos
pital has been presented to the Governor
and Council. In the number of patti nts
admitted and cared for there has been a
marked increase over any preceding year
and the rate of mortality lower than the
average for the preceding ten years. Adj
ditional attention has been given to ex-
tending and improving the sanitary con-
dition of the hospital. The percentage
of recoveries; based upon the admissions,
exceed the average for the past ten years,
being 32.l3 per cent. during the present
fiscal year and 27.75 per cent. during the
past decade. There have been no painful
accidents, no homicides and with tn, ca.
ception of one suicide nothing has oc-
CURED to mar the well being of any resi-
dent of the hospital. At the beginning of
the year there were AGO patients; 246 have
been admitted, making the whole number
under treatment 100. OF these 223 have
been discharged, leaving at the end of the
year 486-24l men and PAS women. The
Treasurers books give SllO S28.97 as the
total receipts during the year; total dis

The Rod Mons Rights.

Governor Robbie Informed Press re-
porter Yesterday that it was the Passama-
quoddy Indians who made the complaint
before the Governor and Council in re-
gard to hunting and fishing, and not the
Penobscot Indians as reported. Their
complaint was written and presented by
Il Catholic priest. 1t sets forth that the
original treaty with Massachusetts gives
them the right to FISH and hunt in any
part of the State and at all seasons OF
the wear. 1t claims that the State law IN
regard to the protection Of fish and game
Is so executed upon them that their chief
means Of support is made bnrdensome by
fines. They have sent an agent to Massa-
chusetts who will call Gov. Robinson's
attention to these facts. These same In
dams also complain that one of the town
ships near Calais, given them by the
treaty, has been leased contrary to the
provisions, thus depriying them of the
use of their land. The charge OF this
matter has been gwen to Councilman
Locke, Bixby and Sands, with directions
to carefully look into the treaty and the
rights granted by it, and report at an
early date. Portland Press.
