Kidding Town of Mosquitoes.

For several months past experiments
have been conducted at Sassari, n
Sardinia, by DR.. Fermi, DR.. CCssul-
Rocca ana DR.. Lumbar for the purpose
of Kidding the town of the pests of
mosquitoes with which it is oyerrun.
The doctors effectually destroyed the
larvae by distributing vast quantities
of petroleum in the swamps and other
spots where the insects bred and the
mosquitoes were exterminated by
chlorine ard other powerful destruc-
tive chemicals. The doctors in their
report consider it possible to free any
town infested with mosquitoes by this
means, provided it is not too unfavor-
ably situated. 1t Is an economical
remedy costing only about $3.50 a year
for a town possessing a population Of
about $4,000 Inhabitants.

Origin of the Silver Wedding.

The first silver wedding dates back
TO the time of Hugh Capet of France.
Two servants had grown gray in his
service, a man and woman, and what
could he give them as a reward? Call
ing the wpman, he said: Your service
is great, greater than this mans,
whose service is great enough, for the
woman always finds work harder than
man, ard, therefore, / will give you
a reward. At your age | know of none
better than dowry and husband.
The dowyy is here-this farm from
this time forth belongs to you. If this
man. who has worked with you five
and twenty years, is willing to marry
you then the husband is ready"
Your majesty" said the old servant,
how is it possible that we should
marry, having already silver hairs?'
Then it shall be silver wedding
and the king gave the couple silver
enough to keep them in plenty. This
soon became known all over France,
and it became fashion after twenty
FIVE years of married life to celebrate
a silver wedding.

William A. Grosvenor, whose death

tention, was, thirty years ago, one OF
the most widely known editors in the
United States. He reached the height
of his fame and influence as editor OF
the Missouri Democrat (now the St.
Louis Globe Democrat) in 1870, when,
in conjunction with Carl Schurz, he
organized the movement which led TO
the formation of the Liberal Repub-
lican party. 1t was in his little office,
in the Democrat building, corner OF
Fourth and Pine streets, St Louis,
that he planned the campaign which
began with the passage of the enfran-
chisement act by the Missouri legis-
lature and the defeat and death OF

Long and Faithful Railroad Service Of
All of Them.
Michael w. Regan, who was killed in
the wreck of the fast bound mail train
of the Lake Shore at Westfeld on
Wednesday, May %, was one of the
bozt known locomotive engineers in
this part of the country. He was in
the employ of the Lake Shore for a
generation, and always enjoyed the
confidence of the officials of the line
as a man who could make the time
and do careful, conscientious work
Regan began railroading as fireman
in 1853 on the State line work train OF

the Buffalo & Erie, and finally merged
into the Lake Shore & Michigan

Dunkirk. The next year NJ ran the
July i, 1869, he went on the Rsad as q
freight engineer. In 1880 he was pro-
Noted to passenger run, and up TO
his untimely end piloted the passenger
trains of the Lake Shore in winter and
summer. Regan came from a family
of engineers. His brother, Thomas
Regan, has the opposite run on the
companion train. His brother, James
Regan, who died short time ago,
was an engineer on the Lake Shore,
and another brother, Edward Regan,
is an engineer o the Lehigh Valley.
His son, Francis Regan, is an engineer
on the Lake Shore, and his two broth
trs-in-law also run on the same road.
In Regan's career of thirty-four years
as locomotive engineer he had bnt
three accidents, and none was the re-
suit of his fault or negligence. He had
the reputation of making uniformly
good runs, and the train he was taking
out when killed is one of the fastest
mails in the country.-Buffalo Ell

Of the elegant styles of trimmed hats that
attracted the ladies to this fashionable
resort during the opening days. Miss
Lambs artistic skill and good taste are

The display represents not only the latcs5

an individual style the designer alone can
impart to her creation. and many ladies
appreciate this when selecting from these
lovely specimens.

give the hats a beautiful effect on account
OF the harmony OF colors which is this
season very apparent and attractive. In
the line OF feathers the ostrich is mos!
often seen and In place of the stiff ones
heretofore worn largely, will be welcomed
the long soft and graceful feathers that
give such charming effects. The amount
of work required in the trimming in
CreaSeS each year and fashion is more eX-

\ meeting of the base ball managers
Of the Maine colleges. Colby. Bowdon.
Bates and T.. of NJ. was held here. SAT
urday, to discuss the question of or
ganiZing an advisory alumni committee
to which all disputes may be referred.
The matter was thoroughly discussed
but the managers wished to consult
their respective associations before
taking definite action. Another meet
ing will be held here. next Saturday.
The necessity OF some such plan as
the proposed one will be recognized by
all who have had any knowledge in the
past of intercollegiate relations in ath-
letics. Nearly all the time there is some
foolish dispute which prevents the col
leges from competing with each other.
An advisory alumni committee whose
decision should be final and to whom
disputes in all branches of athletics
should be referred, would do away
with this needless friction and would
do more to promote healthy athletic
intercourse between our Maine colleges
than any one thing that has been done
in recent years.
