Governor yesterday. The enrolment in
creased from $40 inmates at the beginning
of the year to 76l at its close. The daily
attendance was 500. At present there is a
waiting list of eighty-seven Boys. The re-
port states that IL the bill extending the
age limit for females should become a law
the institution would without doubt have
600 or 400 pressing applications made at once
for the admission of men and women.
1t is stated that the institution has shown
an annually decreasing per capita cost
from 500 in 1889 to about $l33 in 1900. The
decrease is said to be largely due to the
profitable employment of the trained in
mates. IL Is recommended that a begin
ming should be made for the establishment
of colony of females and that the work
should begin with a central administration
building, with cottages for 200 inmates, TO
be afterwards increased by adding cheap,
substantial cottages as needed. The insti-
tuition asks for an appropriation of $16l SO
with which TO erect contemplated buildings
The maintenance appropriation for the
fiscal year 1901 is 100000, based ON an esti-
mated population OF 500. or SIS per capita
This cannot be changed. but the institu-
ton asks that the maintenance appropria-
ton for the years 1902 and 1903 be placed
at 100000. on basis OF an average attend
-nce OF 500 inmates. and for all over that
number up to 1.2o0 an additional per capita
OF $40. or as much thereof may be
needed The appropriation for the year 1900
and 1901 for repairs was $3.50. The report
states that this amount was totally made
quate. and asks that 5000 be allowed the
institution annually for repairs.
There were 154 inmates admitted during
the year, seventeen discharged and twen-
fy-three that died The receipts of the in
stitution for the year. including the appro-
priations. amounted To $l23 Co: the ex-
penditures amounted to $i19. 201- a. leaving
a balance, which was returned TO the state
treasury. OF s3.9l0.16. The institution is re-
ported to be in excellent condition.

discussed 1t was said there were dissen-
sions I'm both parties and that Efforts
would be made to secure the conversion OF

the game between Indiana and Illinois,
which will take place at Newly Oval next

averaged over 1876 pounds. Coach Holt. of
Illinois. who formely played guard on the
Princeton eleven, and who has seen all of

panied by the Indianapolis members of his
staff, will occupy a box during the contest.
Mayor Taggart will also be one of the in
vited guests. The managers of both elev-
ems are making a special effort on this
game, as IL is the first annual contest be-
ested in reviving the interest in Indianapo-
lis in college athletics, both in football and
field and trac-; events.
The attendance from out of the city will
be the largest that ever witnessed an ath-
letic event in indianapolis. The railroads
will make a special rate from all of the
college towns. and in addition to the char
tered trains from Bloomington and Cham
paign there will be special trains from
Greencastle and possibly Lafayette. Man.
ager Sommerville, of the De Paw eleven,
Cancelled the game at Greencastle for next
Saturday TO enable his men to witness rhe
contest in Indianapolis. He said That
there would be between three hundred and
four hundred people come from Greencas-
tie Charlottesville will also send big
delegation, and the students and members
OF the Franklin team expect 10 be here

be postponed so that the members of the
the Indiana and Illinois men on the grid
