THE FEEBLE MINDED.

What is Done in their Behalf in Massachu-
setts, Need for for like Provision in Maine.
At the January meeting of the Wo-
mans Council, Portland. Mrs. George
A. Pollister gave a very interesting ac-
count of the work Massachusetts, is do
ing in behalf of the feeble minded of
that State, and in closing said:
There is growing public sentiment
in this State in favor of the legal rec
ognition, commitment and permanent
detention of this class of moral or Grim
inal imbeciles. There are scores of
such now in our insane hospitals and
and penal institutions. In our own
school we have about Is typical cases
of this sort of each sex Some of these
cases have a long court record. They
are our most troublesome inmates.
They have a most demoralizing inf1u-
ence upon the easily influenced feeble
minded people. They should eat, sleep,
work and live entirely separate from
the other inmates.
"While Massachusetts has taken care
of ], OPS inmates at 1892 per week, for
each inmate, at an expense OF Sill,
442. AS, keeping them healthy, happy
and out of harms way, teaching them
useful labors as well as school work,
making useful men and women of a
great number, while under supervision,
we can but think of the hundreds in
Maine uncared for, untaught, a menace
to the public and the cause of mental
anguish to SO many families. While
our sister State is contemplating sec
ond institution to protect these unfor-
Inmates, will not our own State awaken
to the necessity of making beginning
and establish an institution for the
care and training of the most helpless
of all her citizens-the feeble minded?'
An effort was made at the last ses-
sion of the legislature to secure an ap'
| preparation for home for the feeble
minded, but it was unsuccessful.

What a Former Northport Man Says of
the Climate and Conditions in the Sun
ny South.
Mr.. NJ. c. Hill has received letter
from Mr.. Frank Prescott under date of
Claremont, Va, Jan. Sth, from which
we are permitted to make the following
extracts:
1--WE have had as yet no snow to stay.
The last Sunday in December a little
fell in the afternoon, but in the morn
ing the sun was shining brightly and it
quickly disappeared. The average tenn
perature for the month was as follows:
morning, 40: noon, As: evening, AZ. The
coolest day the mercury dropped to 26
in the morning but at noon time 1t was
up to A. The warmest day last month
it registered 60, but few days ago we
beat that record. 1t was Ga in the mid
die of the day.
Judging from reading the Maine pa
pers. and also the letters | receive from
home. take it that you are having a
mild winter, which must be appreciated
after having two such severe ones. we
are pleasantly situated on a farm called
Eagle Bluff on the banks OF the James
river, about ten minutes walk from the
| wharf where the boats plying between
Norfolk and Petersburg land. Mark
Hills writes us from California about
the roses being in bloom, and although
we cannot boast of those we have Eng
| fish violets all the time and some fine
lettuce, and expect if it holds this
| weather, to do our early planting next
| month. Joel and l have been working
| today on large tree belonging to our
next neighbor; we started in to cut 1t
down, but it is six feet through and we
| have almost decided to wait for good
strong wind to finish it.
The following brief history OF this
town may be of interest: ClaremOnt

property of the late Major William AL
| Ian. who owned this tract, 1880 acres,

been laid off as town and is growing
rapidly. Many northern people have
settled here, and it boasts several no.

The six leading districts and countries
fell in 1905 into an arrangement slight
ly different from that of 1904. The Clydee
and the United States are still first and
second, respectively. but Germany has
been ousted from third place by the
Tyne, and kept from fourth place by
the Wear It therefore now comes IN
fifth, while the Tees and Hartlepools
are sixth, as they were last year. This
table shows, perhaps more eloquently
than any possible arrangement OF hg-
ures, the preponderating share that the
United Kingdom has in the shipbulld-
ing of the world. The United States
and Germany combined do not produce
a total equal to that of the Clyde ana
the United Kingdoms fourth district:

IN MEMORlAM.
The Editor of the Machias Union on tie
Death of His Pig.

0VolA VI AAo = AS'
Our pig died today His death was
caused by the severing of an artery in
the throat while an operation for trache
otomy was being performed upon him
by Ed Hudson.
This is the ninety eighth patient Ed
has lost this way since cold weather be-
gan. Two more will entitle him to a
degree of NJ. d. and he intends starting
out then as specialist IN diseases OF
the eye, ear and throat.
Our pig will probably be missed as
much as most of us when we go. He
was remarkable for his many good
qualities and had hosts OF admirers,
even if, owing, to his retiring DISPOSE
ton, he had few intimate friends.
The deceased was party OF excellent
habits. He did not know the taste of
strong LIQUOR, never had used tobacco
in any form, did not gamble or even
play cards for amusement. He did not,
perhaps, consider dancing as wicked in
itself, but, probably because OF the as
sociations involved in country dances,
he never participated in them.
He attended strictly to his duties and
was always at his place of business &C
cumulating his daily bread. Ball games,
football games, basket ball games,
horse races and merry-go rounds might
lure the light-minded from their tasks,
but not SO with our pig.
He scorned them ALL
Or. perhaps more strictly speaking,
he ignored them all.
He possessed one remarkable quality,
especially in view Of the fact that his
habits were such as we have described,
he never eossiped. No word of detrac
ton concerning his neighbors ever
passed his lips. Unmoved by stirring
tales of scandal talked over in his
presence he resolutely refused to COM
ment on the doing's of his towns
people This, to great extent, en-
deared him to all. 1t is true that ne
never spoke well of anybody, but that
was not so remarkable. So few do that,
excepting when they talk about them
selves, and he was no hand to talk ABOUT
himself.
Some thought he lived selfish life.
Perhaps he did. Still we knew him
we'll and while he took all OF the
property useful to HIM that came his
way we never knew him to take any
thing belonging to a nelghbor. He let
no money at high interest, handled no
mortgages, never was in law and was

the strenuous or social life.
This is not selfshness, we think. 1t
is well that here and there a thought
full. self absorbed and contemplatlve
mind should live alone and spend its
time in thought rather than in active
work.
Simple as were his tastes and habits
he was no sluggard at table but relish
ed good living In fac, if he had fault
it was in taking the pleasures OF the
table too seriously. So fixed had this
habit become with him that during his
later life he had grown to size which
would have fitted him better for the
position of director of Fraudulent
insurance Company than for the Prize
Ring.
OF his philosophic or religious be-
liefs we can say nothing. He never
did.
But when we saw him hauled away
! on Hudson's sled this morning, we felt
that at some future time we should
meet him again, in part at least.
He was good pig.

REMEMBER MAJOR HALE

Postmaster W. D. Hale has on his
to of the Grand Army encampment, in
the form Of beautiful silver and gold
loving cup from the officers of his old
regiment, the Fourth United States COL
ored heavy artillery. Previous to the
encampment Major Hale planned a
pleasant reunion for the week and nine
of the eighteen officers of the regiment
known to be living were present. The
sequel to the reunion was complete
surprise to Major Hale. He says his
friends evened up the score as COM
pletely as Stonewal Jackson fanked
the Army Of the Potomac.
Major Hale made the party his guests
Friday afternoon. They gathered at
noon and enjoyed an excursion to Lake
/ netonka, followed by dinner at Don
!, aldson 8 at $50. Mrs. Hale entertained
the ladies of the party during the, af-
ternoon, and in the evening both par
ties gathered at the Hale home on Third
avenue S for a pleasant family and
regimental reunion that lasted until the
small hours.
In return and as an expression of
their regard for their old comrade they
presented a handsome loving cup. The
inscription reads, ''August l6, 1906. To

HIS TASK IT IS TO
CLEAN MILWAUKEE

Or. Gerhard A. Bading, the new
health commissioner Of Milwaukee, was
from North Dakota. Having heard of
DR.. P. M. Hall as progressive and
energetic sanitarian, he determined to
stop over day for talk. They were
congenial spirits, for both believe in
doing things.
DR.. Bading, who is an appointee of
"Sherry' Becker, the boy mayor, has
adopted the novel plan Of enforcing the
laws and of running the department. of
health regardless Of political consider
dinance on the books, but the side
walks were in a fearful condition. So
one day he turned out the whole SAM
tary squad and brought in several hun
bred spitters, who had been deluging
the Sidewalks Among the number were
two fremen. This haul had salutary
effect, and the sidewalks Of Milwaukee,
will compare favorably with those Of
Minneapolis, says DR.. Bading. He ad.
mits, however, that the streets Of Mil.
waukee are not In the same class as
cities, Milwaukee is greatly interested
in the disposal Of garbage, and DR..
Bading is making careful study Of the
problem. He is much impressed with
the experience of DR.. Hall and also with
his ideas, and thinks favorably Of the
Minneapolis method of destroying gar
bage. When the new crematory is com
pleted, which will be in November, Dr.
Bading will visit Minneapolis again,
with the members of the health COM
mittee, and will then ascertain how
thoroly the plant does it's work and to
| what extent, if any, it is nuisance in
! the neighborhood.

KERMIT ROOSEVELT. ....
IN n. P. TRAIN WRECK

!. Kermit Roosevelt, son Of the presi-
dent, and two men with appendicitis
were on the North Coast limited train,
wrecked yesterday morning at Berea,
sixty miles west of Fargo.
-Four sleepers and a library car sud
denly left the track when the train was
running at the rate of forty miles an
hour. They. careened, blowing along
for short distance in the soft earth,
turned over on their sides.
The engine, express, mail and smok-
posed the forward part of the train
passed over the track ahead Of the
sleepers and were not derailed. :
DR.. R.. B. Dimond of Hot Springs,
Ark. with his wife, now guests Of A.
w. Paris, at 1884 Fremont avenue s,
were on the train. That no one was
injured they consider was truly re-
from their berths and there was great
that no one was hurt and then the lu-
dicrous aspect Of their predicament ap-
pealed to most Of the passengers, who
wer Elm their nightclothes and were
generally mixed up by being tumbled
uncermoniously out Of their berths:.
. Young Roosevelt, says Dr.. Di-
mond, acted about like the1rest Of us
good humored and very thankful mat
tiers were no worse There were two
men On the sleeper who were i'll from
appendicitis and were being taken east
for operations. Neither was inbred.
I understand. Some persons were
bruised and considerably shaken up,
and one man had his back sprained, but
that was the extent of the injuries.
Kermit and his friend, upon arrival
at st. Paul, partook Of q luncheon at a
downtown club and shortly after left
for the east. Kermit had with him a
sack of buffalo horns picked up in the
Black Hills, which he is taking home to
polish. '7.
