Certain charges, serious in their charac
ter and vitality affecting the good
name of the institution, have been
made against the management of the
Eye and Ear Infirmary. Whether
these charges DO true or false. we do not
know. but 1t is of the highest consequence
to the future of that institution that they
be Investigated in way to inspire CON-
fidence on the part of the public In what
ever conclusion Is reached. Some years
ago certain charges were made against the
management of the Maine General Hos.
pital, an Institution similar in all essen
tials to the Eye and Ear Inftrmary except
that it does not make speciality of a
certain class of diseases. The trustees of
that institution very wisely concluded
that in view of its relations to the public
public investigation was the only kind
that would be suitable and command the
confidence OF the people who were ap-
propriatiDg money every year for its sup
port, just as they are for the Eye and Ear
Intirmary. Such an investigation was
held. The management was vindicated,
and public confidence in the institution
was not only maintained but strength
enec. This is the only kind of an investi-
cation the tt ustees of the Eye and Ear
Intirmary can afford to make. Any other
will be viewed with suspicion, and its re-
suits will not command the confidence OF
the public. II the management of this
institution has been falsely accused o
proper regard for its own reputation
ought to impel 1t not only to favor. but
to demand, that the investigation be PUB
lie. 1t is an open secret in this commun-
ity that not only have charges been made
by a reputable physician, but also that a
gentleman who has held an important
Office in the corporation has felt obliged
to resign recently because he could not
sanction some methods of administration
in vogue there. If the institution expects
to get an appropriation from the state
this winter it must purge itself in the most
public manner from all suspicion of mis-
management

however, because the agricultural papers
are rather cool toward the institution.
Some OF President Harris's remarks abou,
the relation of the Institution to farmers
two years ago did not sot well on the agri
cultural stomach.
There will be the usuar promise OF
economy at the beginning of the session
and the usual failure to keep 1t, under
the pressure of interested parties. As we
have previously said the legislators are
generally sincere in their desire to keep
down the appropriations. and II they were
let alone they would do so. But they
won't be let alone, and some OF the
strong st popular preachers of economy
will be found in the ranks of the beggars
for liberal appropriations.

THE sIxTY-NINTH LEGISLATURE.

The Sixty -ninth Legislature assemblies

good as chosen President OF the Senate
and Mr.. Stetson as Speaker of the House.

the committees are appointed, which will
not be until next week There is the
on these committees. All the lawyers
want to be on the Judiciary committee of
course. The railroad committee is also
strongly attractive for various reasons.
1t is too early to say what important
measures will come up this winter, but
it Is perfectly safe to predict that Bangor
will make tremendous push for money
enough to complete the insane asylum,
which was begun in her suburbs several
years ago. and that the State College will
be on hand asking for a liberal appro-
priatiou. There will be an attempt proba-
bly, to tinker the ballot law, and fish and
game will command a good deal of atten-
ton. There are no important railroad
fights in sight, but it is not at all likely
that tue session will pass without some
thing of the kind developing; for the lob
byist must get his living and nothing
contributes so much to his support as a
good lively railroad squabble. Perhaps 1t
will take the form this year of a contest
between the steam roads and the electric

a SERIOUS AEFAlR.

A runaway episode occurred yester-
day afternoon in which three men were
more OF less injured. Messrs Con Hou-
Than, Jack Flnnern and Dug Suter
were driving from Arion to Denison.
Near the railway crossing north of the
county farm the team became fright
ened by passing freight train and ran
away, thowlng the occupants of the
carriage to the ground. Houllhan and
Suffer were badly bruised and scratched
and Mr.. Finnern's ear was nearly torn
off. They came to Denison where their
injuries were treated.

The Orchestra Concert Success in Spite Of
the Cold Weather.
Denson orchestra covered itself
with honor Wednesday night The
honse was We'll filed, but it was en-
tirely too cold for comfort and audience
land players shivered and shook
throughout the entire program. The
opera house management should put
in good heating plant at once if they
wish people to patronlze it during the
cold weather. Everyone realized that
it was not the boys fault, and we fancy
they were glad OF an opportunity to APP
plaud, not only to express their APP
prevail but to keep their hands warm.
The concert began with lively
march which was splendldly executed
and there was not a break in the entire
program, The music played was of a
difficult nature and the manner in
which it was rendered showed how
we'll Directors had instructed
his forces. The descriptive piece, 1.-The
Mill in the Forest" with its touch of
realism in the sound of the turning
water wheel and the sweet songs of the
birds was highly appreciated. One of
the most effective numbers was the
cornet solo by A. III. Brown. This was
beautiful selection and Mr. Brown
added fresh laurels to his musical rep
utation. lie went through thu musical
acrobatics so dear to the heart of every
cornetIst with the ease of IA master and
the echo part was simply perfection.
He was enthusiastically encorrd. The
obligata solos played at various times
by the comets, clarinets and voIins
were noticeable for their excellence.
Two vocal numbers were given; the
first quintette by Messrs. Boynton.
McHenry, Cassaday, Sibbert and Glib
son, in which DR.. Gibspn's splendid
basso took the solo part while the quar-
tette gave human banjo accompani-
ment, was very fine. The best vocal
work was done by the quartet con-

The orchestra boys were we'll pleased
with the large attendance, but were
much chagrined at the cold reception
they were obliged to give. They
promise that in about a month they
will give another concert for which a
very nominal admission will be charged
in order to show their appreciation. and
to let the people know just what good
work they can do under favorable cir
cumstances. We learn that the or
chestra is contemplating giving CON

assure the music lovers of that place
very fine entertainment.

SOCIAL NoTes.

Socially speaking, Misses Adriana
and Florence Abbott of Charter Oak
have Denison's attention this week.
Among the events given in their honor
was tea party Tuesday evening at the
home of DR.. and Mrs. B. F. Philbrook.
The guests were the Misses Abbott,
Howig, Hunter, Beard and Knaul. In
the evening an equal number of young
gentlemen, besides Mr.. and Mrs. j. p.
Conner. were invited to join them. and
a very enjoyable evening at cards was
the result.
Wednesday afternoon at the Wilson
House. Miss Maud Hunter entertained
about fifty ladies in compliments to the
Misses Abbott. The merry crowd in
the, cozy parlor presented welcome
contrast to the blizzard raging outside.
The entertainment of the afternoon
was an informal musical program and
it was SO well received that the place
at the piano was not allowed to be un-
occupied. Instrumental selections
were given by Misses Baird, McLaug-
lin. Knaul, Kirkup, Terry, McHenry,
Hunter and Mrs. Wescott. Mrs. Phil
brook and Miss Florence Abbott favor
ed the company with vocal selections.
The dining room with Mrs. d. u. Boyn-
ton presiding was very attractive with
its snow white linen, decorative en-
broidery and La France roses. Misses
Florence Beard and Allie Sewell served
the guests with salad and ice cream
courses and their accessories. Besides
the guests of honor the out of town
guests were Misses Mitchell, of Chica-
60, Howig of Murray, Iowa, Baird of
Dunlap, Urbach of Dubuque. and Hoff-
man of louisville, Penn.
Miss Anna Shumaker gave an infor-
NAL little party at cards on Thursday
evening, the Misses Abbott being the
guests of honor.
