DeicngS 10 the HuftuDiSe famlly. NOW
the sisters are going back to Montreal
to remain, but whether 1t is to receive
portion Of the property said to belong
to the family is something that neither
the sisters themselves nor anyone else
In the city knows. There seems to be a
great deal Of mystery connected with
this property and Amidos Hurtubise Is
in the dark so far as knowing what
the Montreal relatives are doing
towards getting control OF 1t. Mr..
Hurtubise is soon to place his case In
the hands Of a lawyer and he contem-
plates visiting Montreal again early in
April. The sisters who are to go to
Montreal Wednesday will make in
quiries concerning the property and
their brother expects to hear from
them shortly after they arrive in the
Canadian city.
The Bowdoin Glee Club is opening its
concerts with new song, this season,
which is making a great hit. 1t is
Wen Sing to Old Bowdoin' and was
written BY George II. Fogg of the
senior class. Mr.. Fogg is one of the
leading scholars of his class, was edi-
tor of the Quill, last year. and his
playing at end on the VARSITY eleven
Won him q place on the ALL Maine
team. This song with .'Bowdoin
Beata' and the famous old Phi Chi"
which was written by f. p. Mitchell.
Il. now of the New York Sun. and has
heen sung at Bowdoin for a third of a
century, gives the club three typical
songs of its own college and adds much
to the interest and success of it's con-
certs. Almost any musical organiza-
ton can render classical selections. or
raStime melodies better than a college
gee club, but no organization can
sing eoliese songs as college gIee club
can render ITS own athletic and hazing
slogans.

the affairs of every state in the Union

A gentleman who has had more or
less experience in the workings of the
departments Of the state prison, says
lIldI IL Is no IIieilIS Il recent discovery
thar several departments have not been
conducted at profit in recent years
and that a very good reason for this
state Of affairs has been the regulations
that have been Of necessity followed by
the warden. BY reason of these 1t has
been impossible for the warden to por-
ton out the work as desired for the
rules called for the employment of only
n certain number of the prisoners in
certain rooms. Thus 1t has been neces-
sary to keep some of the departments
running at loss while had it been
permitted TO close the broom and furni-
iure departments and double the num-
Der of workmen in the carriage and
harness shops. much more favorable
financial returns might have been
shown in the past,
