EASTERN HOSPITAL QUESTION
Discussed Before Committee Last Evening
and No One Spoke in Opposition.

BY p. NJ people began to congregate
IN Representatives hall, the occasion be-
ing the hearing on the Eastern Maine in
sane hospital.
Architect Coombs of Lewiston, who,
two years ago, draughted quite elaborate
plans for the proposed hospital, this time
hung up for inspection plans less preten-
tious.
Senator Day of the committee called
upon DR.. Grindle of Mt. Desert, as the
first speaker. Dr. Grindle was one of the
most earnest workers for the project, two
wears ago. He said he didn't come here
to argue that there is need Of more &C
commodations for our insane. He didn
believe it possible that after investigating
they should find that there were sufficient
accommodations. He knew that they be-
lieyed the State of Maine should provide
sufficient accommodations. Neither does
anyone believe that the State isn't sufli-
GENTLY able for they know that it is.
do desire most emphatically to call at
tention to two points: First, that this
question shall be considered on its merits,
independent of any other; and secondly
the great advantage of one locality over
all others.
The experience in the past was that
this question had never been considered
solely on it's merits.
DIR. Grindle referred TO an article in 4
Maine paper which he said misrepresentet
the matter. 1t charged that trade hao
been entered into to prevent the Caplto
from going to Portland.
I sincerely believe that the Bangor
| bospital question had no moro to do VIII
preventing the removal of the state HOUSE
20 Portland than the Worlds Fair did
Dr Griudle said the hospital question hat
nothing to do with cooling ardor for thu
ron,oval to Portland 1t was when th'
lawmakers went home to their constituents
and found the latter unwilling TO nave
million. dollar job of that kind on theil
hands that the ardor cooled.
But supposing there was such trade
Is II manly to retaliate by refusing t.
provide for this unfortunate class 1t wouie
NOT only be narrow. unmanly, vindictive
! hut childish. In all the discussion l hav'
NEVER heard one man so reckless as u
state that the present accommodation
are sufficient
Won know that the State is able to carr
for its insane. You have heard the tower
nor,s message don't believe there is
taxpayer in Maine who will ever appreciate
any increase in his tax because OF TINS ap
rronriation. If it did add dollar to the TAI
Won would be willing to- pay 1t, ana 81
would your constituents.
The State makes itself the guardian o
tho insane, and unless it provides the yer.
host il fails to do its duty. You know
that the State of Maine doesn't give 10
insane such care. You know it from VIVA
the superintendent, the Governor and tn
.nec;a, commission says about it. II yo'

doing wrong. A man by emitting to d

Hearings on Normal Schools.
Inc room occupied by the committee
on education was well filed, Tuesday af
ternoon, at the hearing on the resolve
carrying an appropriation to rebuild the
dormitory of the Gorham Normal school
to replace the one burned few months
ago
An opposition, to many unexpected,
came from Gorham people themselves. 1t
appeared that some of the good people of
Gorham have been well satisfied with
boarding the students in private families
and do not like to see the dormitory
rebuilt.
Ex-Governor Robbie was the first speaker
He told Of the conditions existing when
the State accepted the building as deed
of trust. He was followed by Rev. Mr..
Reynolds, who dwelt upon the advan
tages Of the dormitory system over the
system OF boarding in private families.
Mr.. Hinckley, one of the trustees, stated
the results obtained in getting the opin-
ions of the parents, showing that they
were in favor of the dormitory.
Mr.. j. A. Harding, one of the local
traders, objected to rebuilding the dormi-
tory Thought boarding in private
families preferable.
He was followed by Mr.. Hunt. The
latter gentleman described Gorham as a
community of good, refined homes, where
in some instances the opportunity of board
ing the normal school scholars is veri-
table Godsend He claimed that the
dormitory burned wasn't worth more than
$4,000, was situated in low, unhealthy
spot, was sort of prison house for the
occupants, who were glad when it was
burned; peace to its ashes!
Principal Purinton of the Pennington
Normal school, made a concise, business.
like argument for a new building at that
school. He confined himself to plain
statement of the facts in the case.
Judge Philbrick of Waterville and Mr..
Hooper of Castine, appeared in behalf of
a $4,000 appropriation to make necessary
repairs in the normal school at Castine.
The business ON the petitions for new
normal schools at Houlton, Dexter and
Newport are assigned to Jan. 30.

There is considerable looking about in
the state to find man of many names
who has called himself variously, C. A
Cook, C. A, Mann, Oliver Olney, o.
Olney, or F. C. Drew. 1t seems that he
has been going about the state represent
ing himself as an agent of the Mutual
Reserve Fund Life Insurance Company.
The men to whom he has applied his arts
are the doctors. He has gone to the ply
sician with the statement that he wished
to engage him as an examining surgeon
for the company, and on the strength of
this would issue to him bogus policy,
collecting the first premium and depart
ing. Doctors have been fooled by this
slick stranger in the following places ::
Newport, Fruitland Park, Brunswick,
Bath, Bucksport, Rockland, Damariscotta,
Lewiston, Auburn, Pennington, Free
port, Waldoboro, Kittery, Fairfield, Scion
and Boster's Mills. The man of many
names is described as having Spanish
looking face, black hair, black full beard
sprinkled with gray. He is about IS
years old, five feet, nine and half inches
tall, and weighs about 40 pounds He is
reported to have done some work in this
city.

10 Memoriam.

The sad news of the death of Mrs. c.
B. Chick at five O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing, was shock to an. unusually large
circle of friends. Her illness had been sc
brief that few outside the members OF
her own family even knew of it. She
was taken few days ago with severe
attack of la grippe. From this she was
apparently recovering and no serious re
suits were anticipated. The disease,
however, had left her in a weakened con-
dition, and when it was followed by an
attack of heart failure, she was not strong
enough to Withstand it, and passed peace
fully away.
The maiden name of the deceased was
Sarah P. Owen. She was daughter of
Charles Owen of West Gardiner, and the
youngest of seven children, four girls and
three boys, all of whom survive her.
She was born in Litchfield June %,
1858 and removed to West Gardiner, with
her parents, when a little girl. About
fifteen years ago she came to Augusta
and secured a position in the Maine Far
mer office Here Mr. Chick made her
acquaintance, and they Were married in
1882. Three children blessed their union
one of whom, Mabel, died when seven
teen months old. The other two, Marion
aged s, and Morton aged 6, are left to
mourn the loss of noble and devoted
mother.
Mrs Chick was regular attendant
upon the Universalist church. She was
a member of the Ladies' Aid Society, and
took great interest in church work. 1t
was in her home, however, that her life
conferred. and she made it beautiful one
She was domestic in her tastes An affeo-
tionate vile and mother, a loyal friend
and a kindly neighbor she made herself
beloved by all who knew her
She was in the truest and highest sense,
beautiful Christian woman, pure in all
her thoughts and aspirations and I'M
selfishly devoted to the interests of those
she loved. She was generous in all her
impulses. Her life has been series of
kind words, and thoughtful acts. She
will be sincerely mourncd not only by the
members of the family, who have suffered
such an irreparable loss, but to large
circle Of friends, who knew and loved her,
for her warm sympathies and noble Chris
tian character
The funeral services will be held at the
house on Melville street, Thursday after
noon at 2 o'clock.

HEARINGS.
They We're Many and Lively,
Tuesday Afternoon.
Biz Hearing on Eastern Insane Hos
pital in Evening.
Petitioners for Exemption Of Veterans from Poll
Taxes Given Leave 10 Withdraw.

Tuesday, Legislative work got into full
swing. The committee rooms were filled
with people coming and going, and the
Capitol instead OF looking deserted, as it
has on some afternoons, wore it's most
animated appearance in the afternoon
A quite large delegation of Lewistonians
came down to talk to the finance commit
tee, Bangoreans were well represented at
the hearing on the insane hospital matter.
those interested in normal schools, both
old and new, filled the committee room
all the afternoon, and those committees
that didn't have hearings assigned were
busy in clearing decks for action.
A Very Interesting Hearing.
was that before the judiciary committee
relative to the general law proposed as a
substitute for private and special legisla-
ton regarding inland fisheries and game
Hon. L. r. Carleton, who drafted the bill,
appeared in behalf of the commission and
explained it's provisions and described it's
purposes in clear, convincing manner
He was followed by Hon. J. Manchester
Haynes, whose address before the COM
mitttee was regarded by all who had
the pleasure of listening to it as not only
one of the most eloquent but most con-
vincing Mr.. Haynes explained the
characteristics of large tracts of forest
land, some of which is of little value for
any other purpose than as sanitarium
or home for fish and game. The princi-
pal parts of the great forest must be main
tanned as forest or our water power is
lost to u.s. the streams dwindle and the
conditions of climate change
. The next speaker was Col. E. G. Far
rington. He read an exhaustive paper on
the conditions of the fish and game, the
needs for protection, the vast possibilities
it has in store for the State when de-
veloped and properly cared for, and the
great source of revenue it is every year
Col. Harrington is recognized as one OF
game matters in this State, and his state
ments were listened to with the closest at
tention. He drew comparisons between
the income derived from our fish and game
and those from our numbering and agri-
cultural interests. Moreover nearly all
the income from our fish and game which
he estimated at $3,000,000 comes from
outside the State and the greater part OF
it is spent in labor, in the employment of
Maine people, for guides, for help in the
hotels, for the carpenters and the lumber
for cottages and in thousand ways And
with all this income not dollar of as
sessed property is taken out Of the State.
He dealt largely in carefully compiled
statistics.
f. E. Timberlake and f. G. Gay of
OF Pennington, also spoke in favor of the
law
It was busy afternoon with the legal
affairs committees. They had five hear
ings but on matters of comparatively lit
tie general interest, and arrived at de-
cision only in case of the Glidden Water
Power and Illuminating Co.
The committee will report ought to pass
on the appropriation of $500 for the
Maine insane hospital
Soldiers and Sailors Poll Tax.
