b. II. Hart, secretary of the state
board of corrections and charities, has
been inspecting the insane asylum at
St. Peter, to look into the condition of
the hospital as to overcrowding. Sew
enty patients are now sleeping upon
the floor, and into one ward which is
capable of accommodating six, it has
been necessary to crowd "a. He says
that even when so of the patients are
removed to Fergus Falls, the wards
will contain at least 20 beyond the
maximum capacity.
Good Sales.
The third sale held by the Mime
apolis Dairy Board of Trade was
great success. the best ever held in the
state. Butter was the chief article dis
posed of, 436 tubs, aggregating 26, 200
pounds, being taken, principally by
eastern buyers. The price secured was
II cents In view of the fact that Is
cents is secured in New York, this is
great saving to Minnesota dairymen.
as the freight to that point amounted
to more than 2 cents pound.

The Maine Register.

The Maine Register for 1897 9S has just
been issued BY Mr.. 6. M. DonhaIn, it's
publisher, who has had charge of it for
many years. The new volume is some
what larger than the preceding one, con-
tanning nearly a thousand pages. The
value of this book is SO we'll known that
it seems superfuous to dilate upon it.
To the business man or politician it has
become practically indispensable, contain
ing as it's does a mass of information,
both mercantile and political, which can
be found nowhere else in form SO con-
venient for reference. But while it is es-
pecial1y valuable perhaps to these classes,
the information which it contains is on
frequent occasions useful to any body.
1t contains practically directory OF
every city and town in the state. Every
family ought to possess copy Of it. The
price of the work is $500 postpaid and 1t
will be sent to any address on these terms
by addressing Mr.. g. M. Donhan, Port
land, Maine.

PAVING THE STREETS.
A Decision of the City Solicitor That Gives
Considerable Latitude.

Alderman Rounds submitted to the
City Solicitor the question whether or
not the Commissioner of Public Works
had right after being ordered by the
City Council to pave Center street to neg
lect to pave it, in the meantime doing
other work that had not been ordered.
City Solicitor Morrill, yesterday rem
dered his opinion on the question. His
opinion on this point was that II the City
Council ordered certain specific street
or part of street paved and provided the
funds wherewith to pay for the same
(meaning by inserting, the words "the
cost of said work to be charged to appro-
priation for streets, sidewalks and
bridges'') it is the duty of the Commits
sioner of Public Works to obey the order
and to pave the street, provided other
work Of the department. does not suffer
thereby.

A STRAY ITEM OF NEWS
Picked Up ON Fore Street by Our Repre-
sentative,

When newspapers had only the stage
coach and sailing vessels to depend upon
to gather news when the telegraph, the
telephone, the steam engine, steamboat
and electric motor were not in existence,
coffee houses and inns were regularly
thronged by loungers, and the public gen
orally, who exchanged scraps of news
brought TO them by the post and who
listened to the news read aloud to them
by some habitue. The item which fol-
lows was picked up by our representative
while strolling around the town, and al
though the reader is not indebted to cleo
tricity or steam power for the informa-
ton it contains, it is just as interesting
and decidedly more reliable. Read this:

that he may heed the wishes OF many enthusl-

Clubs Preparing Many Crews Tor the Middle
states Regatta.

There was no lack OF rowing yesterday on the
Harlem River. each club being well represented.
Now that tho national races arc over tho club
Captains are beginning to pay attention to the
Middle States regatta, which Is TO BIO held on
Labor Day over the Harlem River course. Tho
indications are that all tho Middle States events
will be literally patroniEod by tho Harlem clubs,
except the Junior eight-oared shell race, which
seems 10 be conceded to Tho First Bohemians.
At least there Is no special desire shown on
the part OF the other clubs to organize junior
eights to compete against them. Tho Union
boat club has a junior eight in training. Tho
Crescent Rowing Club had n junior eight at
work for several weeks, but the boys have not
boen on the water since last Wednesday even
ing, and Capt. McKcon Ia afraid that he Will not
be able to induce them to resume their training.
The Dauntless Rowing Club has been talking
for n week or moro about putting a junior eight
in training. but it is hardly likely that 1t will do
80, since It's crack senior eight was beaten 30
handily by the First Bohemian's junior eight.
An effort Is being made to have one moro
event, an intermediate double, added to tho list
OF races, which will comprise the Middle States
Regatta. The clubs which are DESTROYS OF max
ing entries are the Nonparicl, Nassau, Union,
Harlem, and Lone Star. 1t Is more than likely
tco will be called in a few days TO consider tho
matter.
inc Nassau BOht IluD men arc showing I'M
usual activity, and II is the intention of Capt.
G.. II. Theos to mako four or five entries in the
Middle States regatta, and his candidates com.
menced training In earnest by putting In u hard
days work. The junior double Is composed OF
Jesse W. Powers and j. u. Thces, Jr.. and II tho
intermediate double is added, the entry will be

termediate single, while the junior four.oared

Powers, Jr., bow; Chairman. 9; Smith. 3; J. d.
Thccs. Jr. stroke; George Dclaverno and Har-
old Clever, substitutes: George Pye, c~oxswain.
The Wyanokos have a junior double and a

start n senior eight. The double IL henson. and
