Maine State Poultry Show.
PORTLAND, Dec. lila.

The date for the sixth annual ex-
hibition of the Maine State Poultry
Association is now close at hand, and
promises to be the finest display they
have yet made. 1t will be held In the
Auditorium Building, Portland, which
affords superior accommodations.
At the first exhibitions held it was
thought advisable to make q so-called
estate OF Maine Glass;" for the protec-
ton of those breeders who feared to
place their birds In competition with
the more experienced breeders from out
side the state, but 1t was soon proven,
however, that our state could produce
birds which would compare very favor
ably with any brought from other
sources.
We, the people of Maine, have the
good fortune to live in one OF the best
states of the union for the raising Of
poultry and eggs for the market. Its
cool climate in summer and, In these
days Of rapid transit, the facilities afford
ed for placing dressed poultry almost
Immediately on the Boston market give
q rare opportunity to the poultryman.
There are In Maine many farms which
could be very cheaply bought, farms Of
little or no value for stock-raising,
which could be very we'll adapted to the
poultry business. While it Is true that
nearly all farmers and villagers keep q
few hens a. q side line of their business,
comparatively few make them their
means of support, and not many would
realize that nearly three million dollars
worth of poultry and eggs are raised an
nuslly In this state, far exceeding the
combined orchard and grain products.
While these facts 60 to show Names
possibilities, We believe that the opening
up of her resources Is but just begin

promising future in store for poultry
men, and we sincerely urge them, one

to make Names poultry and eggs a.

The w. c. T. U. Conventions.

The Worlds and the National are over
and have become history. So many of
our members attended one or both, and
the newspapers gave such full. reports,
there is little Of interest left for your
correspondent to chronicle.
The National converting 80 soon and
so many of the foreign delegates attend
ing, made it seem but continuance of
the Worlds.
The election of Lady Carlisle Of Lon
don as president of the Worlds seemed
to give general satisfaction. 1t was said
the British delegation came instructed
to vote for Mrs. Stevens, but she pos
itively refused to be considered, as did
Anna Gordon. 1t was much regretted
that Lady Carlisle was not present, but
she was we'll represented by her hus-
band, the Earl of Carlisle, and her
daughter, Lady Dorothy Howard. She
cabled her acceptance of the Office.
Lady Dorothy is young, only 20 years
of age, but she made fine address at
one of the evening sessions In fremont
Temple.
Mrs. Kali Jajims, the president of
the w. G. T. U. In Japan, was one Of
the most interesting of the foreign dele
gates. She took part In both conven-
tions, and although she spoke in her
own tongue one was interested to follow
her, and the translation was fine. She
learned to say "thank you" very plainly
when an American flag was presented
and draped about her.
Mrs. Stevens was reelected unani-
mously, and all the general officers save
recording secretary Mrs. Clara Hoffman
has served ten years, and declined re-
election.
There were nine states that had made
q gain of more than 500, and the total
gain in membership was over $4,000.
There were several Invitations for the
next sessions. Il 10 expected that the
Worlds will be held In London, a. Lady
Carlisle does not travel by water.
The National received Invitations from
Tennessee, Virginia, Colorado and Ne
braska. The decision Is made by the
executive committee, but 1t is probable
Il will 20 to Nashville, Tenn.

An Insane Tramp Burglar.

The story of several nightly house
breaks in Paris, Hebron and Oxford,
with the arrest of Alfred Duffy near OK
ford station, caused people to think that
the arrest might furnish an explanation
for other breaks than those of which the
story has been published in the papers.
Several other places in the town Of Ok
ford, it seems, had been entered, and in
the town of Peru, at somewhat earlier
date, there was series of breaks OF
much the same character.
The person or persons who did the
jobs to,k nothing of much value, but
did carry away from all the places an
enormous quantity Of food. Cooking
was frequently done in an unOccupied
house, and the traveller seemed to be
able to locate the unoccupied houses
readily. Chicken was favOrite article
of diet. Whatever the burglar ate or
did, he seemed to take delight in muss-
ing things up as much as possible.
Taking all these things into account,
there is nothing surprising in the in
formation that Duffy, who was taken in
the act, with the goods on him, develop
ed symptoms Of insanity soon after his
arrest. On Monday he was taken into
the Norway Municipal Court, bound
over for breaking and entering and lar
ceny, returned to Jail, and put into a
striped suit. He promptly tore to rags
the clothes which he wore when arrest
ed, and has since been on tear most Of
the time. Three suits of clothes, pair
of blankets, and a mattress have come to
pieces under his destructive touch, and
Jailer Farrar was finally reduced to
leaving him without much clothing, as
it all went the same way. During the
day he keeps pretty quiet, but at night
he begins to be wild, tearing things to
pieces, and barking like dog.
The machinery of the law relating to
insane inmates of jails was at once put
at work, and as soon as the necessary
red tape could be unwound, he was or
dered removed.
In accordance with the order issued,
Jailer Farrar took Duffy to the insane
hospital at Augusta Monday morning.

AIonzo Freeman Lewis.

[John Alexander Joyce of Washing
ton, d. c., the writer of the following
poetic tribute to the late Alonzo Free
man Lewis of Fryeburg, became &C
qnainted with Mr.. Lewis in the course of
the latter's winter sojourns In Washing
ton. Mr.. Joyce is man of marked and
striking individuality of character, and Is
q wellknown figure at the nations capt.
tai. He was born in the village of
Shraugh, near Westford, on the western
shore Of Ireland, and is now in his 65th
year. When he was four or five years of
age, his parents emigrated to America
and settled in Kentucky, and he was
reared in that state. In 1861 he enlisted
in the Union army as private in the
oath Kentucky regiment, and served
till November, 1854, when he was dis
charged on account of wounds received
in battle, being, at the time Of his dis
charge, acting adjutant of his regiment.
Mr.. Joyce has had varied and interest
ing careeer, as one can see by reading
his autobiography, which appropriately
bears the title, "a Checkered Career"
Mr.. Joyce has been quite vOluminous
writer of both prose and poetry, the titles
of his published works being as follows:
peculiar POEMS" "Zigzag," "Jewels
of Memory, complete Poems," "Oliver
Goldsmith, (" edgar Allan Poe" "Brick-
bats and Bouquets" beautiful Wash
ington," and personal Recollections of
Shakespeare" Mr.. Joyce claims that
the poem which begins with the line,
Laugh and the world laughs with you.'
the authorship of which is claimed by
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, which Is included
by her in her published poems, and
which is generally ascribed to her, was
written by him long before it was put
forth by Mrs. Wilcox, and that her claim
of the authorship of the poem is rank
plagiarism. Mr.. Joyce's appended poetic
tribute to Mr.. Lewis was penned by him
upon learning, few days ago, of Mr..
Lewis death, being an impulsive ex-
preston of his high regard for his late
friend, and it is here given as showing
the affectionate esteem in which Mr..
Lewis was held not only by Mr.. Joyce,
but by host of other friends.
man of noble. honest part.
With active brain and loving heart,
Has stepped across this earthly night
Into the realms Of love and light.
He lived upon the Godlike plan,
And ever loved his fellow man
In doing always what he could
To bless his human brotherhood.
He ever sought the good and right,
And bravely entered every fight
Where Freedom battled day by day
And held her glorious onward way.
Blessed be his memory to the last,
A friend to Truth In all the past.
While DER his grave In sunny hours
Shall blush and bloom the sweetest flowers
