Or Robe was, on Thursday, elect,
president of the trustees. This WAS tie
ninth time he had been accorded that
honor He made his annual report for
the insane hospital for the year 1898.
In the first place, he called attention
10 the fact that the trustees have attend
ed faithfully to their duty. They have
carefully investigated all complaints,
and have found nothing that calls for
further investigation. The good work
of Mrs. Franklin NJ. Drew of Lewiston,
the lady visitor, WAS then thankfully
ackno wledged.
The special attention of the governor
and council was called to the report OF
the committee on amusement for the pa.
tents. While thankfully acknowledg.
ing the great benefit of the Coburn fund
it WAS suggested that the institution
needs more money for this purpose.
The trustees found it impossible tc
complete the new heating plant with the
$50 900 appropriated for that purpose by
the last legislature. About 100000 more
will be required. About $4l 900 will be
necessary in order to make all the i'm.
provements recommended by the trustees
After referring approvingly to the re-
port of the treasurer, the trustees add
THE State of Maine has reason to be
proud of this institution. Its develop
ment is due to the liberal and enlighten
ed policy which has for the past go year:
characterized the ext cutive and legisla
tive departments of our government and

Gov. Robbie, was adopted by the trustee,

Dun's commercial report for the clos
ing week of the year says that the year
1898 has been remarkable one. 1t has
not only been one of victory, of impor-
tant increase in territory, and of meal
culable expansion of the il fluence of the
United States among other nations, but
has surpassed all other years in financial
and industrial results. The center of
financial power has crossed the ocean.
After paying debts of several hundred
millions abroad and conducting war to
an honorable end, the country is lending
so many millions in Europe that for the
first time banks abroad look to New
York to dictate the rate of exchange.
Exports have been about l,250, 900 900
and the excess over imports about $780,
100000 against 1851 600 600 in 1897, and
in only two previous years has the bal
ance risen to 300, 900, 600.
