and they left a crowd of friends to re-
greet their leaving.
1t was the fourth performance by this
excellent company and 1t might have
been thought that the theatregoers had

yesterday afternoon. and the tidy little

Everybody that saw the show in

thing strikingly original about either

An oId-Time Baton.

AT the time OF the reorganization Of the
police force and the dismissal Of the old
auxiliary guard Lieut.. Kelly obtained one
OF the peculiar batons that had been used
by the latter organization. The baton was
afterward presented TO the Smithsonian IN
sitution. and it is now considered one Of
the interesting exhibits there
Lieut. Kelly had the reputation of spend
thg more time about his precincts than
most OF the other Ieutenants. and he was
frequently consulted by the higher officials
concerning matters which related TO the
police force. He was a member of st.
AlOysius Church during the most OF the
years Of his life, and one OF the oldest
contributors TO church work in that parish.
For many years he was prominent in the
Irish societies here having been a member
OF the Ancient order OF Hibernians and the
knights OF St Patrick. He was also an
enthusiastic member of the local order OF
Elks and was member of the Jolly Fat
Mems Club He was married twice. his
second wife having died several years ago.
The lieutenant was the father of eleven
children.

drain upon the forest. Co.operaths with telephone and telegraph com panies, railroads. lumber compaHies and individuals, # has urged torwata a series of experiments covering atf phases of the problem, from the auss tion of the best season for cut.hs through subsequent stages of hanolns. to the final setting of the pole sohs of the most important results oDtaatSu deal with the seasoning process
 Seasoning was studied In the hls1 place to determine the rate at whnn poles become air dry, that ,s, lose as much moisture as they will part WuhI through evaporation in the open ar The time of cutting was also careinily considered Experiment proved that poles cut in winter dry more regutatiy than those cut at other seasons, anu also show a greater loss in moisture at the end of six months seasoning. The advantages of winter cutting are, there fore, even drying, with minimum iia- biliay to check, and light weight-an obvious advantage for shipment py freight. Spring or summer cutung secures a more rapid loss of moisture at first, owing to the temperature. but only for three or four months At the end of from six to eight months spring and summer -cut poles are found to have dried only three-quarters as much as winter-cut poles. Spring and summer cutting, however, would result Tn say ing in freight and increased durabiilty if the poles are to be shipped and used within three or four months after cut ting.
 The second point to be determined was the degree of shrinkage in cir conference during air seasoning. This A-.. sa . |. dlf but little over 0.5 per cent at the butt and 0.6 per cent at the top. The rapid shrinkage of wood does not begin until the percentage of moisture IS reduced lower than is possible in the case or telephone and telegraph poles in out of-door seasoning.
 The effect of soaking in waser upon the rate of seasoning was the third or the problems dealt with. The 'experi- ments substantiate the common opin- ion that poles soaked from two to four weeks subsequently, season at ! h.1te- rially increased rate
 Finally. it was found that checking in the course of seasoning Is not seri- ous when poles have been carefully cut Rapid grown timber. however. when so careiessly cut as to leave jagged ends, was found to split badly at the butt and at the top. This Is doubtless merely the widening of cracks started when the stick partially broke off h. stead of being cut clear through.
 Just how much thorough seasoning will add to the life of poles can not be told until the actual tests are made in service. The poles upon which the tests are being made have been set in a line where their behavior can be com. pared with that of unseasoned poles, and will be closely watched. Upon a large number of the seasoned poles a test was also made to show the value of various preservative treatments, which is expected to throw additional light on the subject of durability.

 Poles.
 Washington Special.
 With the life of the telephone and telegraph poles at it's present limit, the SQ0,000 miles of existing lines. requiring S2,O00.00O poles, must be renewed ap- proximately four times before trees suitable to take their place can grow. A pole lasts in service about twelve years. on the average, but is made from q tree about 60 years old In other words. to maintain continuous sup ply five times as many trees must be grown in the forest as there are poles in use. The severity of this drain upon forest resources by the telephone and telegraph companies is obvious enough. Just as in the case of railroad ties, the question of pole supply has thrust itself into prominence. To lengthen the life of poles, and In this way to mod crate demand and conserve future sup piles, has become an important mat ter. affecting the public as well as prl- vate interests.
 Since 1902 the Forest Service has been making a thorough study of the preser- vative treatment of poles and of the value of the seasoning in relation to treatment. In this work it's first object has been, as in its studies of cross-ties and construction timbers. to make the timber last as long as possible, so as to check the annual demand for renewal and thus lessen so far as possible the

Alabama and Texas, who have been on tour of the ports of Central America with a view to se- curing cooperation in the matter of reducing the danger from yellow fever, returned to New Orleans today.
 An ambulance was waiting at the wharf when the ship landed to convey Captain Luis Rivara, who commanded the ship, to an infirmary. Captain Rivera had been stricken with appen- dicitis several days ago.
 The returning members of the party say that the trip has been most sue cessful one.
 Important resolutions were adopted by the members of the party at a meet ing held on the Anselm yesterday as n result of observations made on the trip. They follow: That we urge upon the Surgeon General and the health au- thorities of the Southern States the ne- cessity for the appointment of high type representatives at the various Central American ports ss1
 That we urge those representatives to use their influence with the loca authorities at the fruit ports to main. tain a strict quarantine against theii infected neighbors. if any, and to san itate and protect their port agains any possible sickness.
