EYE AND EAR INFiRMARY.
Annual Meeting and Election of OFF,
GERS Last Night.

The annual meeting of the Maine Eye and
Ear Inirmary was held last evening. The
following is an abstract of the trustees re-
port
In again reviewing the work of the Maine
Eye and Ear lnfirmary for the fifth year end
ing November 1T, 1890, the trustees are
pleased to state that the institution has con-
tlnued in successful operation as evidenced
by the increased number Of patients, and the
larger amount Of work accomplished.
The statistics are as follows:
Attendance G, $780, which ADDED to that OF pre-
ceding years makes the total 25.679.
Number registered LILO, which added 10
@ those previously rec accorded makes the whole num-
Operations performed BAL, which added to
those done 10 preceding years makes the total
number ,139.
The operations include 121 cases Of catar-
act operations, nearly 80 cases of removal Of
the entire eye, and nearly 100 operations for
STRENGTHENING the eyes. 1t also includes
capital operations upon the ear, such as that
by which the Hon. Roscoe Coukiing sought
in vain to obtain relief. Here, however,
they have been performed with success and
have saved life.
Thanks are extended to the medical staff
who have held daily clinic without inter-
ruption. The institution has become ne
cessity, and Portland has proved to be the
most central and accessible place for pa
tlents. Through the kindness OF friends,
especially Mr.. Paysol Tucker, many poor
people have been enabled to reach the in
Urinary, whel otherwise 1t would have been
impossible.
The bequest of the late Harriet NJ. Sad
dler has not yet been realized, owing to the
nOn-settlement of the estate but 1t Is hoped
It will be received early during the year, for
the interest Is applied to free bed About
$1,000 have been expended more than has
been received from state and city. The
work OF this noble charity Is being appreci-
ated, and the capacity to do good will be en-
larged. The amount of free board during
the past year has been 400 days.

Alleged hogus Priests.

PATERSON, N. j., July 25.-The Catho-
lie residents of this city were startled
by the exposure of a number of men
who, clad in the garb of priests, it is
charged, have for some time past been
victimizing the members of the church.
From present appearances it looks as
if the men were never ordained at all,
and it is not at all certain that they
were even members of the Catholic
Church. Bishop Wigger, who has juris-
diction over the town, inclines to the
latter belief, as he has ordered the men
to desist from their present mode of
operations. Should they fail to do so
his instructions are to the effect that
they shall at once be ARRESTED.

CENSUS TROUBLES.

ComIcal Experiences of Enumerators In
Central India.
In one of the wilder districts of Ben
gal, during the census of 1881, curious
rumor got about among the Dravidian
tribes that the numbering of the people
was merely the preliminary to the
wholesale deportation of the men to
serve as camp followers in Afghanistan
and of the women to work as leaf-pick-
ers in the, tea gardens of Assam. This
silly sfable, embellished with charac-
teristic but highly-indelicate details,
created general panic. Many thou
sands deserted their villages and hid
themselves in a range Of forest-clad
hills, where they hoped to escape the
official enumerators. The number of the
fugitives was large enough to vitiate
the census statistics for that area,
and the day fixed for the final enumera-
ton was periously near. Something
had to be done, but any attempt to COM
pei the tribes to come in would only
have increased the panic. The district
official used his personal acquaintance
with some of the tribal headmen or
elders to induce them to meet him and
talk matters over. By explaining to
them in simple language the real OBJ
ject of the census, and laying stress on
the necessity of knowing, for the pur-
pose of relieving famine, the exact pop
ulation of district which had within
living memory suffered from two severe
famines, he succeeded in inducing them
to exert their influence to get the people
back. So effective was their action and
so readily wore their orders obeyed
that within three days the villages
were again occupied, and whatever may
have been the defects of the census
in that part of the country they GER
tainly did not lie on the side of oInis-
sion.
The same thing was done, only in a
more humorous fashion, by district
officer in the central provinces. Some
of his tribes took fRght and ran away,
and he induced their headmen to listen
to explanations. Relying on the fact
that wagers of various kinds figure ex-
tensively in Indian folk lore, he SOL
emily assured them that the Queen of
England and the Emperor of Russia,
| having quarreled as to which ruled over
the most subjects, had laid a big bet on
| the point. He went on to explain that
the census was being taken in order to
settle the bet, and he warned his hear
ers in q spirited peroration that II they
staid in the Jungle and refused to be
counted, the Queen would lose her money
and they would be disgraced forever. "a
