Yes. the South is foolish, blind. 1t

Large Specimen of Carp Presented.


The State museum was the recipient
Tuesday morning of an unusually
large specimen of a carp. weighing 71A
lbs, presented by j. Odilon Blanchette
of Augusta. Mr.. Blanchette secured
the specimen on the bank of the Ken
nebec, just below the dam near where
the dynamiting has been carried on to
keep the ice from injuring the piers
for the new railroad bridge. The fish
had evidently been killed by one of
the explosions and had drifted ashore.
The officials of the State Depart
ment of Inland Fisheries and Game
are especially pleased to receive this
gift, not only because it is an excellent
specimen, but also because of the fact
that it was secured in such a peculiar
manner. Thomas A. James, curator of
the museum, is now mounting the fish
for the collection,
The question has been asked as to
how these fish came into the Kenne-
bee waters. 1t will be remembered
that some years ago ]. Manchester
Haynes had his artificial pond stocked
with these fish. but later when it was
found that the water in the pond was
becoming very muddy, the fish were
taken out and put into Bond brook,
and it is easy to believe that from
this stream the fish made their course
quickly to the Kennebec.

Institution Up to Limit.

THE average attendance of boys
at this institution for the past year
has been 1853. 1t will be noted in this
connection that this record of atten-
dance corresponds very closely with
the capacity of the school We are
now equipped with four cottages for
the boys sent to us, the capacity of
each cottage being about 40, and it
has been found in actual practice that
with the present population Of the
State and the prevalence of the proba-
tion system in cities that the number
of commitments very closely equal the
number Of discharges and of boys sent
out on parole.
Considering the character of the
boys who are sent to us and particu-
larly the character of the homes from
which they come, it is the belief of the
superintendent that the facilities Of
fered here for the making of the right
kind of home influences for our boys
are much better than can be afforded
them in any other way, and inasmuch
as each cottage is equipped with the
requisite number of employees who
care for their full complement of boys
it is believed to be a good practice to
give that number OF boys the benefit
of the facilities of this institution.
Numbers of course vary with diff
ferent seasons of the year and de-
pends somewhat upon the opportuni-
ties which present themselves for boys
to be placed out under favorable cir
cumstances in actual contact with the
world. The crowded condition of the
Home for Feeble Minded at Pownal
seems to make it necessary at times
for committing magistrates to send US
certain boys who really ought to be
committed to that home. 1t also de-
bars us to a very considerable extent
from transferring to the Home for
Feeble Minded certain boys which we
have here whom we have found by
actual observation to be untitled for
our institution on account of their
lack of mental capacity. The super
intendent desires, however, to testify
to the willingness of the authorities
at Pownal to consider our requests
for transfer and of the readiness of
Supt. Hedin to make examinations for
us and advise with us in regard to the
transfer of boys.

duct as may commend itself to their
personal judgment, has been found to

superintendent believes that for the
past year he has had practically no
instances of sullenness nor any feeling
of injustice arising from any cause
whatever. Long periods elapse be-
tween any attempts on the part of the
boys to escape from the school. More
and more freedom is accorded to the
boys from year to year IN their move

and the farm, and the great majority
of those who escape or attempt to es-
cape do it in the spirit of adventure

Washington, May 24.-The Mexican

ference at the White House the presi
dent went automobilng, ana Bryan
spent the afternoon in the country.
There were no developments in the
matter of the Constitutionalists repre-
sentation at the Niagara Falls media

Bryan discussed the situation and
went over the report of the United

statement and made it clear that none

like to see the COnstitutionalists send

their presence as Indispensable. 1t
was said that technical objections of
the Huerta delegates are holding all
matter back more than the attitude of
Carranza- They want the Constitu-
