Col. E. c. harrington, secretary and
treasurer of the Maine Sportsmen s
association, has the following to say
regarding the proposed Maine game
park: THE setting apart of a large
territory of wilderness as game
park at first thought would seem to
be a good thing, but l think if it is
examined carefully it will be found of
little value. First, the great northern
forests of Maine are q vast game park
and if our laws We're reasonably re-
spected there would be no need of re-
sorting to the game park system. The
idea is from a worthy motive, the saw
ing of our game. If our game is to be
preserved and increased some policy
beside this will be needed. A game
wardens and at large cost for the
poacher and law breaker must be met
the same as in our forests today The
same supervision in our game woods
now would be as effective as in a park,
only a legal number of game would be
taken, which would do no harm if lille
gal killing was stopped. One thing, l
think, is apparent to the close observer
that with the resources for hunting
now so widely known and the consa
ouent increase of sportsmen annually
from the world over, even with strict
compliance with the law, the time
would come when it will be seen that
Maine cannot furnish the large game
for the whole world. The State is con-
fronted with the undeniable fact that

FRANCE and Snaln.

INV YORK. March 1 "A special from
Santiago to Cuba via Key West, says;
A Young French girl, Mile Louise Fla
ment, who wa! arrested here a week ago
by the Spanish authorities as a political
suspect, walked free yesterday. After
she hal been kept seventy two hours in
the ''incommunicado state. the French
consul demanded her trial or immediate
release. The demand was refused. Two
days later a little French warship steam
ed into this port from Martinique, and,
accompanied by its commander, the con-
sui renewed his demand, this time de-
handing the prisoners unconditional
release, the withdrawal of all charges
against her, apology for the outrage
committed on her, acknowledgment of
a reasonable claim for damages, and a
ROYAL salute to the French flag. To all
this the Spanish authorities were given
tx hours time. In the meantime the
Frenchman cleared for action and then
calmly awaited results. Before the ex.
piration of the third hour everything had
been scceded to, and when the Spanish
cannon began to boom their salute of re-
gret to France the young French girl
was already at home.

It Was Not Presley.

Mr.. lobe Presley of Oktibbeha county,
brother of George Presley, whose body
was supposed to have been found in the
Oktibbeha river near Enterprise last
week, was in Meridian Sunday and a
few hours Monday investigating the
case. After seeing aud talking with
two or three gentlemen who served on
the jury Of inquest held over the body
he has come to the conclusion that it
was not tho body Of his brother, as the
clothing does not suit the description Of
that worn by Presley, and the corpse is
that of a man a great deal heavier than
Presley. The body found is that Of
about a 1856 pound man, where as Pres.
ley's weight was very near 1870 pounds
After satisfying himself that it was no,
his brother who was killed, Mr.. Pres,
ley returned home on the 10 O'Clock

Strawberry Bed on a Barrel.

The barrels for this purpose are made
Of hard wood and strongly bound with
iron. Linseed oil barrels are preferred.
The outside Of the barrel may be laid off
in four inch squares. Commencing
about two inches from the bottom, inch
holes are bored in the center of the
squares, horizontally around the barrel,
making twenty seven holes in the row,
four inches apart. Five rows of holes
are bored around the barrels, eight
inches apart, or in each alternate square.
The second row of holes from the bot
tom is bored on the perpendicular lines,
and so on, alternately, to the top of the
barrel. lu this way holes are bored for
1875 plants, Ordinarily bedded plants
are used, Of any variety desired, mixing
the perfect and imperfect varieties rs in
garden culture. The barrel is filled
with soil to the level Of the first row of
holes, putting in rich garden soil with a
little swell -rotted manur Thoroughly
mixed in with it. The plants are next
inserted through the holes with the roots
a little higher than the stems, to allow
for settling. The roots are spread apart
and more soil is put in and firmly packed
over them. A little water is sprinkled
on them and the process continued until
the barrel is filled, when it is covered to
prevent the escape Of moisture. In wa.
tering the p ants care should be taken
not to keep them wet. The better way
Is to make several holes down through
the barrel with a stick and pour in wa.
ter or liquid manure according to the
needs of the plants, giving them more
during fruiting time. The advantages
Of the barrel method of growing straw.
berries are that no runners grow and the
whole strength of the plant is directed
towards growing fruit. The berries are
perfectly clean, all cultivation and
wedding are dispensed with and there
is a great economy Of space. II the
plants were spread out as in garden cul
ture they would occupy nearly on,
square rod Of land. The plants may BE-
put in either in the Spring or Fall. Il

IlnsuIted the Consul.

a late dispatch from Key West says;
Consul w. b. Barker. United States
represe. .tativei in Sagua Ia Grande, Cuba
is indignant over an insult offered to
him by the Spanish authorities in that
place, and, it is understood. has writ
ten & bitter complaint to Secretary of
State Oluey.
According to alvices received here the
consul was expecting dispatches from
the department in reference to certain
important matters regarding the rela-
tons of Spain and the UnitedStltes.
he learned that the dispatches hal been
forwarded, and when they did not ar
rive in due course he made inquiries.
He learned that they had reached
Slgua Ia Grande, but had been seized,
opened aud read by the Spanish author
tiles. Consul Barker was very indig-
nant, and called on the Spanish com
msndant and demaatel the dispatches.
That official refused to give them up,
declaring his refusal in an insulting
manner The Spaniards kept the dis
patches nearly a week, and treated the
Consul's complaints with contempt.
Finally. after the documents had been
copied, the Spaniards turned them over
to the consul. The latter in the mean
while had written a strong letter to o.
ney. recounting the circumstances, and
saying that if the United States proposed
to permit its representative to be insul-
ted with IMMUNITY he would resign.
Capt. Gen. Wyeler heard of the mat
ter and ordered the Sagua la Grande au-
thorities to apologize to Barker, which
they did, but the angry consul would
not accept the apology, and said he had
referred the matter to his government.
This is the first known case where the
Spanish officials have opened state de-
partment letters, but Americans in Ha-
vana believe that it has been done ever
since the war began. 1t is stated on the
authority of one close to Consul General
Lee that his mail has been frequently

1t is understood that twenty Cuban
girls recently arrested at Santiago de

city protested to Weyler, telling him
