NATIONAL HOME.

November 16 was the anniversary OF
Col. S. H. Aliens coming to the Togus
Home to assume it's management.
Governor Allen, since his advent has
so left his impress on everything he has
done, that there is not member in the
Home who cannot tell the methods he
has adopted to make the most of his
resources for the comfort and conven-
ience of the community, over which he
presides. Very many improvements
have been established during the year
and many more are in contemplation.
His solicitude for securing appropria-
tions from the next Congress, through
the board of managers, N. Fl. for ID. VI
s., to provide new barracks for the
veterans, who are now sleeping on the
fioor, and also that he may not be pain
ed by being obliged to refuse admit
tance to any deserving soldier or sailor,
is paramount to all other important
plans that find solution in his we'll di-
rected efforts. The discipline in the
Home has reached high plane His
treatment for infraction of rules is en-
dorsed even by those who are punished.
Long may he continue to be the presid-
ing genius of the Eastern Branch of the
National Home for Disabled Volunteer
Soldiers at Togus, Maine, is the honest
of all it's members.

POLO FOR WATeRvILlE.
Move on Foot to Form QuadranguIar League
With Side Tor This City.

Correspondence has been opened among
parties in this section with a view of es-
tablishing a four cornered polo league
in Waterville, Fairfield Skowhegan and
Gardiner.
Since polo has taken such firm hold on
the people in places where league teams
are located the people in other towns are
taking great interest in the game. On
account of this people in those towns
have begun to talk of forming a league.
The idea seems to have started among
the Gardiner people. as from there peo-
pie in this city have received letters ask
ing what they think of the idea. The
letters received in this city have been from
Will c. Atkins and it is understood that
Edward Hamilton is to back the Gardi-
ner team.
The plan is to place a team in Gardiner
Skowhegan, Fairfield and Waterville.
The teams are to be composed of some
of the lesser polo lights with one or
two star players in each team who will
coach the younger players and fit them
for places on the teams. In every town
where there has been league team PLAY
ers have been developed so that in Lew
iston, when that team was on the ragged
edge last year at the latter part of the
season, the large team was made up IN
part of some of the players who had been
developed. 1t is figured that it will be

atively low salaries so that the expense
of running a team will ue compare

public will see good article of polo. in
fact, game which will compare favor
ably with that played by the State league
teams.
1t is planned to have the Waterville
team play in the city hall, the Gardiner
team play in the Coliseum, the Fairfield
team in the opera house and the Skow-
hegan team in the Coburn hall A meet
ing of the prospective managers was to
have been held today in Fairfield, to talk
the matter over, but some of the men
were not able to be present The men
who have taken hold of the idea are
pushers and are bound to make the ven
ture go. 1t is planned to organize the
teams at once and start the games with

The Gardiner police are working
hard to bring to sorrow the thief or
thieves who have of late been operat-
ing in this city. Several complaints
have been made that overcoats, rings
and other personal property has been
stolen. In two. cases the police have
caught and convicted the thieves but
even now they feel that there is at
least one or more persons that would
greatly benefit the community if they
were behind the bars. The $50 dia-
mond ring that was stolen. few days
ago. cannot be traced, and the officers
as well as the person who lost the ring,
are as much as ever in the dark.
