DIPsoMANlAc HOSPITAL.
Mr. Faxon Makes Vigorous Protest
Against Approximation.

Boston, March 16-The committee on
public charitable institutions gave a
hearing this morning on the petition
of the trustees Of the hospital for
dipsomaniacs at Foxboro for an ap-
preparation Of $4,000 for a chapel and
gymnasium, and $50, 900 for a new build
ing for patients. DR. Cowles, chairman of
the trustees, appeared in favor of the
petition, and briefly spoke of the work
Of the institution and the good results
obtained.
Henry H Faxon of Quincy appeared
in remonstrance. He objected to the fur
ther appropriation for this purpose on
general principles and again that the
work at FoXboro was a farce He
claimed that he had personally spent
more than 100000 on work Similar to
that at Foxboro, that he had constructed
building at Quincy furnished with
bowling alleys and billiard tables and
attempted to reform the drunkard by
kind treatment. His effort had been a
failure and the work at Foxboro was as
lamentable failure as his had been. 1t
was time, in his opinion, to stop treat
ing the drunkard with so much consid-
Grafton. Instead Of wasting love and
kindness on this class of people they
should be treated with sharp and severe
measures; their food should be whole
some but plain, and their work should
be such as to form a punishment rather
than a reward for inebriety. The eXpen-
diture of money for the Foxboro institu-
ton and the Foxboro treatment was
nothing short Of robbery, and the state
should put a stop to it. He hoped that
the committee would vote against the
petition for the appropriations.

DAMAGES FOR CLINTON.
Flea for Compensation for Loss of Tax
able Property,

Boston, March 16.-The committees on
metropolitan affairs and water supply
sitting jointly, gave hearing this
morning on the bill introduced last year
by Representative Howard Of Clinton,
providing for the payment by the state
TO the town of Clinton the sum Of $500
annually as compensation for taxable
property lost to the town by the con-
struction of the Wachusett reservoir;
also that persons damaged by the con-
struction of the reservoir should be al
lowed consequential damages and, fur
thermore, that in case of the develop
ment of electricity for commercial pur-
poses, by the metropolitan water board,
the town and people of Clinton should
have the first call on such electricity at
cost prices.
Judge John w. Corcoran, as counsel
for the petitioners, argued the case to
the committees, and called attention to
the fact that the damage to Clinton had
presented itself with greater force since
the waters of the Nashua river had
been deviated, through the tunnel and
aqueduct, to the Southboro reservoir.
Clinton was not large In territory, but
the construction of the dam had taken
away "a per cent of the land available
for building and manufacturing purpos-
eS. lnlS was an accomplished ldCl, dLlu
Clinton was not bewailing her fate, but
she did ask that in the w9S of compen-
sation for taxable property thus taken,
she be treated as generously as Boyl
ston and West Boylston had been treat
ed by the state.
Judge Corcoran reminded the commit
tee that the legislature of 1895 had prom
Used preference for citizens IN the work
of the construction, but not a citizen
had secured any OF this work. The con-
tractors had brought negro help from
the south, from whom the locality had
received nothing, save an increased
court record and additional expense I'M
der the pauper laws. 1t was asked
that the Legislature redeem its promise
in the original act and amend the law
in such a way that the work yet to be
done should go to citizens, if they de-
sired to have it, While the work on
the shafts and tunnels had been COM
pleted, the work of clearing the ground
for the reservoir was yet to be done,
and the community should be saved
from further invasion by these birds of
passage, who came in the night and
disappeared as silently and mysterious
ly.
i. w. Burdett, for the electric light
corporations in the state, suggested an
amendment, that whoever sold or dis
posed Of the electricity to be developed
from the fall of water be subject to
| the general laws of the state governing
electric corporations.

VALUE OF ATTENTION.
Professor James Lecture Before the
Teachers Institute.

OAKLAND, Sept 14.-The subject of
Professor William James lecture before
the Alameda County Teachers Institute
to-day was Attention. as applied to
pupils. and the ability of teachers to
excite this quality in school children.
He said in part: voluntary attention
is not logically continuous. Showers of
irrelevant ideas are constantly C. oss-
ing the center of the field of conscious
ness. The field should produce it's own
associates. Some minds are localized.
Others cannot be concentrated upon the
idea in the center of the field, but are
occupied with meteoric showers CT no
tons which make them forget the main,
subject. They are scatter Drained.
IF really interested in a subject the
mind will always return to it and finally
learn it. When a pupils interest is ex-
cited by previous interest it does not
follow that he gives his attention with
out effort. 1t requires a great deal of
voluntary action Get the pupil to think
1t worth while to conquer a subject and
you have his attention. The teacher
should watch the occasions when the pu-
Pill lacks interest and then cause him to
fix his attention"
