"A good illustration of the work that
Maine does for her citizen soldiery at
the present time in comparison with
what used to be done for them, years
ago. was shown the other day, in a
chat which Gen. Farnham had with a
friend who was once enrolled in the
State militia. The gentleman was Il for
mer member of the old Brewer Artill-
cry before the Civil war. and speaking
of that organization, said that they
practically paid for everything that
they had out of their own pockets.
They bought piece of land in the
town, built their armory upon it with
a gun room on the first floor, and a
drill hall upstairs. The only articles
which they did not own about the
building were the guns which the State
had furnished them. They also bought
their own uniforms and equipments
and paid their own transportation when
they Travelled. And on one occasion.
when Jefferson Davis visited the State,
and the battery went to Belfast to take
part i'm the observances given in his
honor. they bought the powder which
they used in firing the salute. And yet,
they held themselves in readiness to re-
spond to the call of the State at any
time. Things were different now, he
said. The State finds ABOUT everything
that the citizen soldiery needs-his uni
form. arms and equipments, ammuni-
tor and when he comes into camp each
year. pays him while on duty and also
his transportation.

STATE HOUSE.
Progress Of the Crusade
Against broWn-Ta Moths.
Number in State Said to Have
Decreased Since 1904.
Work Not Done, However, and Close
Watch Should Be Kept.
STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next meeting Of Governor and Council,
Thursday, Dec. IA, at 10 A. NJ.

At the department of Agriculture,
Saturday morning. were Commissioner
Gilman. Dairy Inspector Thompson,
and Capt. Z. E. Philbrook. all of whom
were present on matters connected with
the department. Capt. Philbrook is as
ISOLATED with State Entomologist
Hitchings, i'll his work against the
brown-tail moths. which is now in
progress.
The work which Prof. Htchings and
Capt. Philbrook have been doing in the
way of sizing up the moth situation,
indicates that the number Of moths in
Testing the State is about so per cent.
less than it was. last year, and that the
general public are at present winning
i'm the fight of driving the pests from
Maine But while, however, the situa-
ton is now encouraging, it does not
mean that there is not great deal
more to do. for the work must con-
time. and it's Importance cannot be
urged too strongly.
One difficulty encountered in districts
where the moth has not yet made its
appearance is to convince the people of
the Importance of being watchful in
order to keep the moths out of those
districts. In places where the war has
been waged against the moths. the re-
suits have been satisfactory, and peo-
pie are encouraged to continue the
crusade. The time is now ripe for
continuing the work. as the nests are
easily seen. and the little caterpllars
are dormant within them To wait
until spring is mistake, as the cater
pillars are then active. The work
should be done now, and this should
be slogan of all who are interested in
the work of determination.
Capt. Philbrook stated that there
were as yet no gypsy moths in the
state. as far as the knowledge of those
people engaged in the work of ex-
termination of the brown-tail had
learned. but there is great danger that
they may soon make their appearance,
for they are close to the State bound
airy. They have made their appearance
iii Portsmouth, n. H., and some of
thlpl, may. be brought, into no A1ainet oh.
trains. or in any goods that may be
shipped into the State. 1t would be an
easy matter for them to penetrate into
any part of the State. by coming in
empty egg cases, boxes or the like.
The gypsy moth is far more
dangerous than the brown-tail, as it
will not only strip the trees, but will
attack crops after devastating the trees,
and could do great damage. if they
once get foothold. Those people who
are acquainted with the brown-taiI
certainly desire no contact with his fell
low pest, and the utmost vigilance
should be maintained i'm order that the
people of Maine will not have two pests
to fight instead of one.
Prof Hitchings was at Portland.
Friday and Saturday. to attend the
meeting of the Maine Ornithologicai
Society. and the subject of the moths
was one of the many important ones
which were discussed.

nesSes turned up. Their stories, how
ever. could not stand investigation and
one after another they were cast asNA

But there was one exception; an old
man, Martin Hazleton, of Oneonta, N.

hands clasped and held face high. then
flash, a puff of smoke and the report
of a revolver broke the stiffness of the
morning.
Hazleton was the most important wit

failure
Then the defendant herself went to
the witness chair and told the whole
story of her relations with Young. 1t

This, in brief, is the story of the life
of Nan Patterson, or that part of it thai
had an ultimate bearing on the death
of Caesar Young, and the trial that has
been three times nine-days' talk in
New York and probably throughout the
country
Little did she suspect when she en-

ic ending and the accompanying sorrow
and pain in store for her, or she would
have undoubtedly reconsidered the mat

Although one young and hayward girl
has dearly paid the price of her folly, the
case has served to point moral to 9TH

innocent maiden behind the footligh'

to stand the temptations offered has
partaken of the fatal apple

FRANK ERNIE PICKS WHITE.
Thinks the EngIishman VIII Surely
Defeat Jimmy Britt.

Frank Erne, former lightweight
Champion speaks very highly of
Jabez White, EngIand'S premier boxer,
who is now in San Francisco to pre-
pare for his bout with James Britt.
If any judge of fighters is in a. posi-
ton to know anything about the
merits of Mr. J. Whites pugilistic
ability Erne certainly would know, as
he has seen the Englishman perform
several times on his many trips
'fJabez White will surely beat Jimmy
Britt. He is likely to win with a
knockout, but if he doesn't he'll have
such lead in the fighting that he Will
take the decision" said Erne, when
asked for his opinion of White as a
fighter. :.
MY first experience with White. .
Frne continued, twas about five years
ago. 1 was with Mike Sears, of Bos-
ton, who was fighting in England at
that time, and I sseconded him in his
battle with White.
Sears was a strong, sturdy fighter.
He was pretty clever, and he could
take a beating and give one. When
he fought White he was in the finest
kind of condition, and expected to
see him walk away with the English
'sWhat White did to him was a.
shame. never saw another man get
such a beating in ring White was
as cool as ice. Sears tore at MN
time and again, but Jabez punched
right and left, knocked him down
about as fast as he could get up, and
had him so bad in the twelfth that the
fight had to be stopped. Sears was.
fearful sight After the fight he
couldn't get out of his chair without
assistance.
Then I saw White fight Jim Cur
ran, the middleWeight. Curran was
clever fellow, a champion in the train
ing quarters. He was a dangerous
puncher. too In the first round
White walked up to him deliberately
and with one of the first blows struck,
Knocked Curran down and broke his
nose He punched the big fellow all
over the ring through the first round
Curran wanted to quit when the bell
rang for the second but Tommy West,
who was in his corner, pushed him to
his feet and made him go on West
threatened to beat Curran to death II
he didn't go on and fight, and he knew
Tommy could do it
THAT fight was as bad as the Sears
affair. Curran took a terrible beating
round after round. Charlie Mitchell
told White to let up for fear of killing
him. as he had the decision well in
hand. When the referee called it
draw at the end of the twentieth
round it was surprise to every one
in the house. as White won by a mile.
Curran to a pulp.
ssF,ver since Britt beat me in San Fran
cisco 1 have thought him one of the great
est lightWeights in the ring. I had a good
sa nDle of his quality. When he was about
to fight Young Corbett' the first time

White will whip him. I was sorry when
heard that White was coming over. here,
for like Britt, and have had it in my
one lightweight who could get away with
him. Then Britt is an American, and
would hate to see him trimmed.
White is exactly the kind of a fighter
ring The ice in the water bucket isn't a
circumstance to him. Britt is high strung
and nervous. Except for that he would
have knocked out Cans He gets excited
when fighting at top speed and is likely to
get wild White is always steady. He
fights very much like Cans He doesn't do
much fOotwork of the fancy kind, but he
is always poised for a punch He hits lit
tie short blows that travel few inches
and do the trick. He hits just hard
with his left hand as with his right. He
has the finest judgment of distance ever
saw. Britt is a hard man to hit, because
he has a deceptive way OF moving IN and
out all the time. That makes you lose the
range. But White will nail him. He new
er let's blow go without landing 1T.
Besides that, White is a heady, clever
man on the defensive. never saw him
lose his head or his balance for a second.
He is always ready with a guard and a.
counter. And he can hit from any posi-
ton, too.
take punishment, because I never saw any
one land on him He will outlook Britt
and take the decision if the bout goes the
limit, and that's something that none Of
the others have succeeded in doing. But
at that don't think he will win de-
cision. He will mix it uD, and at inside
hitting Jabez is as accurate as a sharp
shooter.
white is the best boxer England ever
turned out. He doesn't box like an Eng
Hshman at all. That's why he has always
whipped the rest of them so easily. Right
from the first he has made it a rule to
work with all the visiting American box
ers. He has even worked with Jim Cor
bett, and he has picked up the finest
points of our game. People who go to
this fight won't see typical English
boxer at all. I'm sorry for Britt, as
said before, and I wish White had stayed
at home.
This will be a real battle for the light
weight championship. Britt and White are
the pick of the genuine 1ghtweights.
Cans isn't lightweight at all Even
when he fought me he refused to go in
under 100 pounds
