Remember tho Maine" Is the watch
word in this ancient city at the presen,
time Spanish barbarities may be the
cause of the present war, but there is al
avenging spirit for tho lives of the Ameri-
can marines viii ch were snuffed out In
Havana harbor. True it may be that there
has been some trouble found to secure
enough members for Company Fl, N. G. ID.
To join tho militia does not make man
more patriotic than the one who docs not
enlist. Tho apathy on the part of New
Ca tie mon to join was caused by dislike
for the otficcrG and to associate with some
members who will be unable to stand camp
life at Middletown.
During the las5 few days about thirty
men have joined the company Some came
from Wilmingi on anG others from Phila-
delphia, the U. of p. and Lafayette Col.
lego in the latter two Institutions of leav.
ing there are two members of the company
A number of men from Wilmington who
wished to join were refused because the
full quota had been secured. In all probab'
ility there will be q Cuban on the roster OF
company Il when the citizens Cornet band
escorts Captain Rogers and his men to the

participating in the, services they go up
into the tower. There they watch for
carrier pigeons that may be passing
on their journey. The youths llberate
some of their pigeons and in several in
stances it has been known that the strange
birds have been enticed to 10 al coops

quickly steered for the Jersey shore. The
Fish commissioner had been notified
of the violations of the law by the New

law last night and it is needless to say that
no nets were put overheard until after mid
