STATE HOUSE.
Annual Report Of Inspector
General of National Guard.
Gen. Hoyt CongFa!u|ates State on
Class Of Men Enlisting.
"coi." Davis Resigns Commission
Four New Corporations Recorded.

Brigadier- General Frank f. Hoyt has
submitted to Adjutant General Farm
ham, his report as inspector general o.
the National Guard, for the year 1908.
In beginning, Gen. Hoyt says that at
inspection he found the State and
Government property in good condition.
but that some of the uniforms were
badly worn.
The total strength Of the militia in
the State consists of III officers AMI
1866 men. The medical corps attached
! is composed of men who stand high in
their profession, and the allusion TO
| them in the report is most compli-
mentary.
Gen. Hoyt also reports the armories
improved since 1902. Bangor has pro-
vided Co. G., I'd Infantry, with a good
drill hall and a company property
room, and also rooms for the officers
and commissioned officers. TIE
| city of Nestbrook has repaired the ar
mory of Co. NJ, LIST Infantry. and the
! Lewiston armory is now i'll good con
dition. Other armories are the SAINT
as they We're in 1902.
The rifle work of the guard is given
special mention. Under the efficient
management. of Col. Dill and his asss
/ tant officer, Lieut.. Dooley, the work &C
complished has been satisfactory under
the conditions which have existed
Owing to the changes which have been
made during the past year, in the arina
ment, by which the Springfield rifle
has been superseded by the kras Jor-
gensen, the guard has been haEdi-
capped in the way of practice, but tbs
work which has been done was good.
| Gen. Royt congratulates the State OF
| the class of men who are seeking en-
| lstment in the guard, and makes d
very graceful allusion to the honest
| administration of the Adjutant-Gener-
| ais Office.
In closing he reviews at some length
the encampn,ent at Portland, giving
he details of the assignment of the
Maine troops and the work done by
them, which was very satisfactory
The naval reserve, also. come in foi
words of commentator for their share
Of the work in the mimic warfare. Il
closing, Gen. Hoyt expresses himself
satisfied with the results accomplished
in the defence of Portland and thinks
that the experience was productive OF
much good to the men.
Among the visitors at the State Housf
Wednesday, was Col. Davis of the Sd
Maine" During his stay he made his
headquarters at the Adjutant- Generals
office. but he had a very busy day in
specting the departments. To his in
innate friends he announced that he
had given UP his Colonel's commission
as he had ''outgrown his uniform.

the water and the means of creating
the power. it was properly to be con-

is the part Of youth to do things. Over
century ago Charles James Fox, at

Publications that sedulously report
the doings of society as represented by
the rich bring the cheerful tidings that
invalidism and idleness have gone out
of fashion. 1t is not good form, they
say, for a woman to be delicate" or
for man to be without occupation.
Therefore he has ceased to decorate
the club windows, and she, having
taken up some outside interest betitting
her renewed vigor, no longer sleeps
late, but is ready to begin the business
of the day seasonably. My lady's ath-
leticism seems to be reflected in the
fashions for 1903, if it did not even
shape them. High collars, tight sleeves
and trailing street gowns have gone
out" and loose gloves and shoes are
worn. Perhaps it is because she has
learned to care for her body that the
millionaire's wife has revised the fash
ion sof dinner-giving also. No modern
hostess thinks of offering twelve or fif-
teen courses or serving six or eight
wines. Indeed, 1t is asserted that So
ciety continually grows more temper
ate, and in one sen<e at least this is
true, for the dinnertable is no longer
overloaded with silver or banked high
with flowers. Simplicity is the law,
and simplicity tends towards temper
ance. All these new fashions are in the
direction Of improvement. So, above all,
is the increasing tendency, noted by
society reporters, to frown upon gossip
as not being good form" Probably the
truth is that it never was, but that it
fiourished because people had nothing
to do. When society took a notion to
be busy there was no time to talk
about other peoples affairs, nor was
there inclination so to do. In some
more degenerate age society may recede
from this position, as it has receded in
the past. But although that rule of con-
duct, not to be idle and not to gossip,
may cease to be good form, it will
never be anything but good sense.

luxurious living. Every man seems
straining every nerve to outdo some
one else In snowy appearance. He
builds his house, not for comfort and

and make more imposing appearance
