A Candid Candidate.
Many of the Florida newspapers
have urged candidates for the legisla-
ture in the several counties 10 give
prompt publicity to their views on the
drainage question, 50 that the voters
could themselves have the opportunity
To act upon their own convictions and
sentiments on the subject; and sew
eral legislative candidates have thus
/ expressed themselves. Among these is
Mr.. John Z. Dudley, candidate for the
lower house for Hillsborough county.
In his published platform he thus
frankly stated his position on the
drainage proposition:
My Individual convictions are that
Fthis undertaking on the part Of the
state would be both unWise and un-
just. Il would inevitably create 4 bur
den 81 yaN2;ion against which or peo-
Iple would naturally protest. as it
would. from remunerative stand
point outweigh any degree of benefit

and the two million acres due our
state by the federal government un-
der the swamp act, be put on the
market for sale TO individuals or cor
porations that have the means with
which the work could and would be
accomplished and that the proceeds
be added 10 our school funds"
Here is "A prospective legislator Who,
iinste;ad Of closing mis- eyes TO the real
interest of the state and its inhabitants

RARE BIRD SHOT.

Arctic or Snowy Owl, Infrequent Wis itor to This Latitude. Brought Down
 by Noank Gunner,
 The killing of an Arctic or snowy owl in this latitude is of so infrequent occurrence as to be worthy of more than passing mention. A spendid specimen of this bird was shot We'd nesday evening by J. M, Dewey of ,Noank in the neighborhood of Fort Hill. This is the third, so far as re- collection of naturalists locally can certify to, which has been shot within radius of some 10 miles of New Lon don within a period of three years While this bird, equipped to battle for it's existence in the frozen wastes of the Far North, is occasionally found beyond the average southern limits ac- corded to it by naturalists, each year finds the record of specimens captured dwindling.
 About a year ago one was shot in Groton woods and the skin was care fully preserved and mounted, During the previous year only one specimen was recorded. The bird shot by MT.
 Dewey is an exceptionally fine and perfect representative of the species. It is perfect in feather and markings and is quit large. Mir. Dewey esti- mated that it's wing spread measrued fully four and one-half feet. The snowy owl is, as it's name would in- dicate, almost purely white in color and this provision of nature enables it, in it's native habitat, to hunt for it's prey while it is scarcely distinguish able from the surrounding landscape.
 While the greater part of the owl family is entirely nocturnal in habit, seeking food only after nightfall, the snowy owl is so equipped that he can hunt equally well by day or night In this peculiarity he sands almost alone, some varieties of the hawk owls only sharing this distinction with him.

DEATH OF HARKY HoLCoMB.
Former Yale Athlete succumbs to Con-
 sumption.


 Harry Clifford Holcomb, son of H. sherman Holcomb, of the New Haven Carriage company, died from consump- tion Monday evening at his home in Cheshire. His battle with consumption had been waged for five years, and, de- spite every effort to combat the disease, death ended MT. Holcomb's promising career at the age of thirty-four.
 MT. Holcomb was graduated from Hillhouse high school in this city in 1892 and from the Sheffield Scientific school in 1895. He rowed No. in the varsity crews of '94 and '95 both vic- torious over Harvard; was on his freshman crew, and also played tackle on his freshman eleven. He was one of the most popular men in his class and a good student.
 After his graduation from Yale MT. Holcomb plunged into business with the same earnestness which had marked his college career His ambition seem ed boundless, and, as one of the com pany which purchased the old Crockett & Futile factory on Goffe street. he was energetic in the development of a concern which manufactured carriages and automobiles.
 Five years ago, while run down through the pressure Of business duties, MT. Holcomb developed tuberculosis While his recovery was never promised as complete, the disease was clearly checked and he returned to his home here three years ago for short time It was believed that southern Califor- mia would materially benefit him and he spent more than a year there.
 Returning to this city more than a year age, he purchased the home on the Cheshire hills, where he had since re maineG. It was evident that his health could never be rugged, but it was thought that he would live many years surrounded by his wife and little son A gradual failing of his strength fol lowed, and last July his automobile business in this city was disposed of.
