For the Reporter
Everywhere.

In the land OF the Shah,
AT the ruins Of the Panama,
On Africa's sunny shore,
AT Frisco's golden door,
Dakota's got her share
Beside the Rockies, he's there,
Even tempestuous can't restrain
lie hobs up serenely,
The man from Maine.
Is it not perfectly astonishing how
much one learns OF anothers anteoedents
on. an ocean trip? The monotony of sky
and sea- the howl of the wind, the spray
of the ocean or the deluge from the
breaker, seem to cause feeling of loneli-
ness, a longing for friendship, and thus
II Is that In the ocean steamers saloon
many life story is told. The first
homeward trip of the White Star steam
ship Adriatic was very rough and
stormy one, SO that the saloon and
friendly conversation was courted rather
than the deck. The conversation led In
the direction OF nationalities, some one
remarking that no matter where you went
you would come across an Englishman.
We'll" said Mr.. Isaac &. Atkinson,
preside mt of the Atkinson House Furnish
ing Company of Portland doubtless
you may be correct In your assertion, but
am also impressed with the same Idea
regarding Maine, for | travel consider
ably and invariably meet one or two,
probably this trip may be an exception,
but | am really expecting 10 come across
them, as usual. Have the honor of adj
dressing any,
you have, sir, / was born and raised In
Somerset County, Harmony is my native
town"
The speaker was Mr. f. M. Merrill, the
European buyer for the great dry goods
house of Arnold, Constable & Co., of
Fifth avenue, Nineteenth street and
Broadway, New York, who was complet-
ing his ninty- sixth trip across the Allan
tic.
Bangor lays claim to me- said
another of the passengers, gentleman OF
courteous manner and bright converse
tonal powers, land many a happy day
/ have spent In Maine.
Exchange of cards introduced us TO
Edward Kent, attorney at law, No. "a
Wall street, New York, and later CONVEX
sation brought out the fact that his
father had once occupied the Gubernato-
rial chair.
|
whom we knew as Mr.. Dywer, "you may
count another man from Maine, for al
though Antwerp, Belgium, is now my
headquarters, yet hail fiom CALAIS, ana
all my youthful recollections are centered
in that town, the home of my childhood.
| Mr.. Phillip Dwyer has been associated
for the past ten years with the great cleo
| trio wizard, +. A. Edison, and he's now
the European agent for Edison's various
manufacturing patents. Thus In few
minutes conversation was discovered the
fact that about onehflh of the saloon
passengers, for there were only twenty
two in all, were from Maine. A pretty
good showing for the Pine Tree State.
Maine men turn up everywhere. Their
business abilities are acknowledged, their
brightness of intellect emts sparks of
ready wit or sound business logic which
wreathes halo of respect around the
man from Maine, and makes his presence
agreeable company anywhere.

have been no fatal effects so far as we

Industrial School for Girls.

thfe - SSf'SSf ~ o'''-
The officers Of the Maine Industrial
School have completed their report. Su-
perintendent, Major E. Rowell, In his
report says that three hundred girls have
been committed to the school since II was
first opened. The utmost care and vigi-
lance cannot. In an institution where
bolts and bars are not resorted to, pre-
vent occasional escapes, or deter vicious
ly inclined girls from acts Of indscretion
or positive criminality when a combina-
ton Of circumstances In the way OF
temptation may assail them.
Each years experience, confirms the
statement that fully 80 per cent. OF the
girls committed to the school were res
cued from vice and immortality and grew
up to be respectable women, and 1t would
seem as though this was worthy OF con-
sheraton. even from those having but
little faith in reformatory institutions.
We find In the whole number OF girls
committed thus far to the school, but
twenty whose records have been persist
emily and perhaps permanently bad after
their discharge Some who gave the off,
GERS great trouble, afterwards gave I'M
mistakable evidence of reliability, and
continue to malntah fair record.
Twenty-Five girls have been committed
to the school the past year from the fol-
lowing places: Agususta, 8; Bangor, 2;
Cherry6eld, 2 Rockland, 2; and one each
from Auburn, Benton. Etna, Vinalhaven,
Union, Gardiner and Calais. making a
total of BOB since the organization Of the
school.
