State House Chat

A nice addition was made Thursday
to the State Museum aquarium, when
Jesse A. Alexander of Augusta pre-
scented Curator T. A. James with four
white perch and six club. They are
all fine specimens, the club being
particularly large and good fish. They
were all caught in Mr.. Alexander's
sucker traps in the Kennebec river at
Seven-Mile brook.
Among the latest visitors who reg
istered at the museum were: L. M.
Morris, Wayne; c. E. Turner and E..
r. Smith of the U. S. training ship
Newport; DR. A. H. Holt and Paul
Simpson, West Sullivan; VIM. Y.
Tasker, jackson; G. A. Dusty, Earl
and Percy Dusty, Oakland; r. w. Ell
lott and w. K. Bunker, Thomaston.
Primary nomination papers are be-
ing circulated in Cumberland county
for E. A. Rogers of Brunswick as a
candidate for State senator.
Former State Auditor Timothy F..
Callahan of Lewiston was a caller
Thursday at the Capitol.
Deputy Bank Commissioner Ivan E.
Lang went to Portland Thursday aft
ernoon on department business.
Deputy Bank Commissioner Lyndon
P. Noble was at the Office of the de-
partment Thursday.
It will be remembered that the re-
cent report of the State Board of
Charities and Corrections on the con-
dition Of the almshouse at Oakland
referred to the presence there of an
insane man. The authorities of Oak
land have acted promptly upon the
suggestion Of the board that the aims
house was not the proper place for an
insane person and has had the man
examined and committed to the State
hospital at Augusta, the commitment
being made on Thursday.
