The brown tail moth, which has
proven so expensive Il plague in Massd-
chusetts and other Of the New EnGIand
states, has reached Maine and its
progress is now being closely watched
Thanks To the prompt action Of Hon.
A. W. Gilman, commissioner of agri-
culture, it will undoubtedly be eXtermi-
mated i'll short time. The first intina-
ton which WAS had of this dread
plague WAS received a short time ago
by Mr.. Gilman in the form Of Il note
from one of the inspectors of orchards,
Of the department of agriculture. of
New Hani shire, informing him that
the moth had crossed the line into
Maine.
Mr.. Gilman promptly communicated
with Director Wood Of the Maine I.x-
pei iment Station at OI0HO, directing
lin to send al expert to kitteIy, that
being the place which the moths Were
reported to have invaded. Professor
Wood sent Miss Patch. the cntomol-
osi&t # the station, to Eittery, where
she E.;tde il most exhaustive eXamina-
ticn % the orchards and trees, not only
boring towns. making a report to COM
MIS- nlltf ''lIfli;tl Oh lllt results 81 ll'T

This report, while not made public by
Mr.. Gilman, shows that the moth pest
in the state ut III" present tim" is not
great anG that the possibilities Of
destroying i are very good.

er that the work of DISCRIMINATING the

AS is very generally known. the
brown tail moth has proven to be one
OF the most expensive plaques with
which the state of Ma isachusetts has

which has been spent by that state il
fighting the moths amounts to IL for

Edward NJ Shepard. of Brooklyn: John
B. Stanehfeld, of Elmira Judge Gaynor,
of Brooklyn, and William Travers Je-

day, but there is a growing belief among
the wiseacres that a dark horse will be
nominated.
In the process of elimination the opin-
ion Is expressed that the candidates now
mentioned will be dropped and that
some man who has not been affiliated
with any faction and not under the
dominance of any leader. will be the
man chosen. Moderate opinion inclines
to the expression that the whole State
ticket will be selected in a caucus OF
the leaders. and that there viii be nc
