POLO MAGNATES MEET.
Maine will Have Six Cornered League Of
Professional Players.

| That Maine will have a professional
polo league was settled, last evening.
| by the conference of polo managers
held at the Cony house. In reply to
the invitations sent out by Richard
Phillips of this city, several of the
managers met in this city At one
time it looked as though the league had
struck a frost. The first man to show
up was Edward Kicker of Biddeford.
After short conference with Mr..
Phillips, it was thought it would be no
use to attempt a league as the other
men showed no apparent interest. Be
fore the evening was over, Will Ley
den, who had come all the way from
Providence, r. L., put in an appearance
Mr.. Phillips was found and 1t was then
learned by comparing notes that six
Maine towns are enthusiastic over the
| idea of a league.
| Before the conference was over 1T was
decided that the league should be made
up of Biddeford, Portland. Lewiston,
Rockland Bath and Gardiner. Men stand
ready in each Of these places to put
their hands in their pockets and back
| the teams.
One of the points under discussion
was Wnetnef the teams SnOulu De Hld'ie
up of local or professional players.
Mr.. Kicker was of the opinion that the
team should be made up of local play
crs. He had excellent success Withshis
team of local men, last year, and was
in favor Of continuing with the same
men After a short conference he be-
came convinced that he could obtain |
professionals who would be backed and
he will at once go to work to secured
the men.
The managers of teams in other |
places have stated that they will not |
have the slightest difficulty in finding |
men or in securing hackers for the
teams.
When the meeting adjourned, at ii
o'clock, it was decided to call another
meeting in about three weeks. at some
place between here and Brunswick.
when the final steps will be taken to
perfect the league.

Tempted by Big Profits.

The New York Commercial has the
following on the formation of the Trop-
ical Fruit & Steamship Co, organized
in this state and mentioned in the
Journal:
The incorporation in Maine, last
week, of a new fruit company. capital
lied at $500, 900 is another move in the
exploitation o: tropical fruits. The
fact that importations of tropical fruits
average several millions year eXcites
the organization of companies to take
advantage of the increasing trade.
The prospect that there will be heavy
increase in consumption within the
next few years has its influence also.
1t is not stated in the certificate of
INCORPORATION what the company Will
do beyond the operation of steamships
in the tropical fruit trade. but il is be
lieved by some importers who have
followed the organization of such com
panies that the outlook for heavy traf-
fic in the future was sufficiently prom
Using to tempt capitalists into thi.
rather risky field.
Within short time a number of
companies have been organized all pro-
Tossing substantially the same purpose
the development of the tropical
fruit trade. Some may be absorbed by
the United Fruit Co. eventually. This
perhaps is the ultimate aim of the pro-
motors. Others may develop into Inn
portant enterprises. since it will clear
| " be impossible for one company to
| control a business of such vast and
| increasing proportions.

Not Buying Diamonds.

I'm the avoidance Of the common
place many young men are giving
their fancics quaint and curious rings
in place Of the solitaire diamond as an
outward and visible sign Of their
mutual love ana troth," said an Au-
gusta jeweler. IF man has picked
NJ an odd and ancient circlet with a
history ana a peculiar significance in
some out of the way nook Of the cdrth,
50 lnuCn the better. If his travels
have not taken him in the way of such
things he may b. able To- tini on" m
the houses that import curirS. Few of
these rings have the ordinary finish n
pold. many IF them look A. II they had
been buried for years. y signct ring
az quaint workmanship Is popular AMI
the Japanes, dragon is an exceedingly
effective design. Some Of the semi
precious stones set in the Egyptian
manner are attractive. Others have
tha Oriental richness of Turkish manu-
facture For those who do not fear the
balcful effects of the opal. there are
some exquisite stones set deep in mas
sivc. cllliously carved gold. and to
make the effect more unusual some OF
the opals contain the quartz which is
embedded III them when they are
taken from the ground, and which
ordinarily is removed before the stone
IS polished and set.
Some of these strange, mysterious
looking rings are really old; some Of
them only look 50. \ few of them
have an interesting history; they all
look as if they ought to have The his
tory can be made. however, by the
waarcr. ana undoubtedly these massive
rings. with their rich. dun stones. have
fascination that the cleaning soil
taire does not possess. Moreover, they
are less expensive. good-looking
ring. without stones. or merely small
ones for dragons eyes, can be bought
for from $15 to $50. and a really beautl-
full one, with an uncommon looking
gem, can be bought from So to $40
Every young man who has had to buy
a diamond for his sweetheart knows
that $50 does not buy very much of a
sparkler"

STATE HOUSE.
Reports Received of Damage
from Two Weeks Drought.
Gardiner Street Railway Co. Files Ar
ticles Of Association.
Move Made to Takes Possession OF Richmond
Waterworks Plant.

The lack of rain for two weeks in
some sections of the State is resulting
in anything but a favorable manner.
In response to questions, sent out by
Secretary Ii. Walker McKeen, of the
State Board of Agriculture, by which
he is gaining material for his board
bulletin, unfavorable replies concerning
the crop conditions are coming in. a
statement from one county is that with
a continuation of the present conditions
the hay crop will be cut down two
thirds. Similar replies are received
from other sections.
The abundant rainfall in May, gave
every assurance that there would be an
excellent hay crop. Everything then
looked favorable for the other crops,
although there was an indication that
on account of the cold, the season
would be late. Reports now state that
the conditions are not as favorable.
ana unless there is a fail of rain soon
the farmers will not fare as well.
Reports from different sections in
kennebcc county, state that the
drought has also affected the apple
crop.

Hon. S. w. Carr, the State insurance
commissioner, has his hands full at
the present time, INVESTIGATING alleged
incendiary fires. In several cases he
has almost evidence enough to secure
conviction, but is not yet ready to
make a move. He has worked in an
interchangeable manner and if his efforts
are not rewarded with success, it will
not be through any lack of hard and
Intelligent work.
In some cases he will be able to stop
the suspected parties from securing
their insurance, even if he is not able
to do anything more. AT this partic-
ular time there seems to be more than
the usual number of incendiary fires.
This does not necessarily indicate. how
ever. that the number is on the in
crease. The crimes of this character
seem to go in waves. and the crest of
the wave happens to be passing at this
particular time.

The applications for travelling Ii
brarieS to be sent to summer resorts
are beginning to come in. But few are
sent now, for the people furnishing the
funds, do not wish the libraries sent on
until the summer season has fairly
opened.
State Librarian Carver is making a
slight change in the make up OF the
libraries. Instead of putting in the
usual line Of history, fiction, biography
and poetry he is substituting books OF
nature study. Many Of the publishing
houses are making special effort TO
issue books on these subjects 50 that
there is less difficulty in getting works
of that class than formerly. Thomp-
sons wild animal studies and such
books as wild Flowers and How to
Know Them, are samples of what are
being ordered.
Mr.. Carver recommends that the peo-
pie who come to the State, bring with
them field glass and camera that
they may be fully equipped to carry on
their nature studies.
