AUGUSTUS B. FARNHAM,
Adjutant General
Ihere is young lady in the Agri-
| cultural department just now who is
attracting considerable attention. Her
name is Miss Ada Troop of Pittston and
She is but Is years of age. She is en-
gagged in placing the scientific names on
The various bugs, insects and butter
lies. This is quite difficult task and
presunIes knowledge of the subject
ordinarily beyond her years. Miss
Troop attends the Gardiner High school
and has one more year before gradual
ing. The principal of this school is
Prof. William l.. Powers, the well
known amateur ornithologist and of
late he has taken up entomology, Miss
Troop becoming interested in the sub
ject and studying with him. There are
hundreds of the insects in the collection
and it will require some time to COM
plete the classifying. There are
probably few High school scholars in
the State that could put the correct and
| scientific names. on a collection Of in
| sects, as this work is ordinarily done
by college professors.
The State House has reached a point
where it has got to be repaired on the
outside. Upon examination it is found
| that considerable of the mortar has
fallen out, letting in much moisture
and rendering the structure unsafe, il
allowed to remain. Supt Keefe had
some contractors here from New York
the other day to look over the build
ing. and in a cursory glance they esti-
mated that it would cost about $500 &c
do the work of repointing. But Coun-
cillor Bisbee. chairman of the commit
tee on public buildings. is of the idea
that it will cost nearer $500 to $1,000
He said the cOmmitte was up against
a peculiar proposition in that the ap-
preparation for buildings was pretty
near exhausted, much of the money 60
ing into the new elevator now in pro-
cess of construction.
| Gov. Cobb was of the opinion that
the State House if in the condition de-
scribed. should be Immediately attended
to, as this was the best time of the
lyear to do the work. He thought that
water getting in through the stones
might after awhile crack the great
granite blocks, and, even if no money
was available from the regular apprO-
priation, it would be better to go ahead
with the work at once and then make
some provisions later for the payment
Supt. Keefe says the work TO be done
is largely repOinting, although there
Iare some other masonry defects to BIZ
remedied.
