THIRD REGIMENT COMPLIMENT
ED
BY Capt Brewster in Official Report to
Gov Reckham-Makes Suggestion.

Gov. Beckham has received
from Capt. Andrew w. Brewster,
of the Ninth Infantry, his Of
fetal report of the Kentucky
Guard encampment held this
year at Henderson, of which he
was the regular army instructor.
The Third Regiment, to which
Go. G is attached, is compli-
mented very highly. The regi-
ment is mentioned as follows:
The entraining of the Third
infantry was very good. The
company baggage had been
loaded quickly and placed In
the baggage cars with reference
to the order of arrival at home
stations. Each was marked with
the name of the stations of the
company assigned to it.
Company drills, fair to good.
Battalion drills, fair to good.
Regimental drill, none.
Extended order drill by CON-
pany, with the exception of
morning work by battalion. This
drill was distinctly good.
Inspection of quarters excel
lent. In this connection it is
fair to say that at inspection the
camp and the kitchens were per-
feet as to cleanliness, neatness
and uniformity as to arrange
ment of equipments, etc. /
haye never seen anything more
orderly. This is a good regi-
ment.
Col. Jouett Henry, of the
Third Regiment, has had ex-
perience and foreign service dur
ing the Spanish War. He is
man of ability and strong char
acter. III is Adjutant, Capt.
Rash, impressed me as being eff
ficient and tactful.
T h Third Regiment was
armed with Krag rifles and were
found to be in very good con-
dition.
He recommends that in order
to secure a better attendance at
drills during the year that the
soldier of the organized militia
be paid for this work a small
sum, fifty cents, for instance, for
each evening spent at drill. 1t
will make the work of more i'm
portance in his eyes, and will
add feeling of responsibility
not the amount, but the idea
that he is earning something and
that his work is worth being
paid for by the Government will
tend to make him regard his
services as more serious.

LYCEUM COURSE
First Entertainment for Season
Scores big Success.
PROMOTERS HOPE PATRONAGE THIS
YEAR WILL JUSTIFY CONTIN.
UATlON.

The first attraction offered by
the darlington Lyceum Bureau
for this season drew an encourag-
ing attendance at TIE m p e
Theater Tuesday evening.
The entertainment offered was
The Boston Orchestral Company.
The program consisted of twelve
numbers which varied from pop.
ular music and burlesque stunts
to choice classical selections.
They were good musicians, all of
them, and possessed the fun
making faculty to degree that
delighted the entire audience
from children up. Nearly all
the solos and special numbers
were given encores and the en-
tire program was applauded. The
"Toy Orchestra" particularly
pleased the younger auditors and
provoked laughter from those of
all ages. Mr.. Phoenix, cornet,
MIR. Batchelder, flute, Mr.. Fry
burg, piano, Mr.. Jemmess, vio-
lin, and Mr.. Edwards, trombone,
each proved himself an artist.
Mr.. Howard j. Brazelton to
whose effort and energy the
darlington people are indebted
for this series of high class and
elevating entertainments, is the
recipient of many congratula-
tions upon the signal success of
the first attraction. The season
ticket holders were nearly all
there and there was an encour-
agingly large numbar of single
tickets sold at the box office.
The BRE urges that all lovers of
good entertainment, who have
not already subscribed to the
seasons course of attractions,
that they see Mr.. Brazelton at
once and take advantage of the
opportunity to secure tickets
covering the remaining attrac-
tions for the season. There are
three more excellent entertain
ments in the course and season
tickets may be had for one dol
lar each that will admit to all of
these and entitle the holder to
reserved seat for each one. Up
on the success of this seasons
course depends the continuation
of these entertainments in the
future.
The effort to establish such a
course of entertainments in
darlington is based wholly on
the desire of its promoters to
furnish the community such at
fractions as.will not only be en-
tertaining but will tend to be
educational and uplifting as
we'll. The good people of Earl
ington should not let this effort
fail for want of support this
season.

sible by water transportation.
Some figures recently compiled
serve to throw an interesting
light on the relative advantages
of municipal and privately
owned electric lighting systems.
The comparison was made be-
tween the leading British cities
of Manchester, Leeds, Birmlng-
ham, Glasgow and Edinburgh,
which operate their electric
lighting plants, and New York,
Chicago, Philadelphia and Bos-
ton. 1t was found that in the
British cities under municipal
control only one in every 92 res
idents is a customer of the elec-
trio lighting plant, while In the
American cities one in every 50
persons uses the light. In Great
Britain there is in use an aver
age of one half light to each in
habitant and in the American
cities one and third lights TO
each lnhabitant, or about three
times as many as in Great Bri-
tain. These figures seem to bear
out the contention of those op-
posing mnnicipalization, that the
use of any commodity is extend
ed more rapidly under private
than under public ownership.

Nonresident hunters mu s
have license to hunt in Kentuc.
ky. No hunting with dog or gun
between Sept. 15 and Nov. Is.
Now that the season for the
hunter is fast approaching, the
newspaper Offices are beseiged
with requests for information as
to the various game laws of Ken
lucky.
Various legislatures have dealt
with the game laws after their
own fashion until now you can't
get your tooth into the pheasant,
quail, wild turkey, grouse or
partridge unless you go out and
kill it yourself or import it from
another state.
The same law makes it unlaw-
ful for any railroad to transport
these birds, except that hunters
who have killed such birds may
carry them. with them on the
trains.
The penalties provided for
violating the game laws, of from
So to $50, according to the of
fense are found Sec. 1949 and
acts Of March "a, 1904. Each
sale is separate offense. Sec
ton 1850 makes possession of
game within the prohibited time
limits, evidence of infraction of
the law.
Section 1913 makes it unlaw-
full to destroy nests or eggs of
any birds except wild birds of a
predatory nature.
Persons living outside Ken.
lucky may secure the same priv
ilege of hunting in this state as
residents, by paying fee for q
license, good for one year. The
fee is the same as resident of
Kentucky is required to pay in
the state from which the APP
plicant for the license comes, or
if that State has no provision,
the fee is $3.50.
The thrush, meadow lark,
finch, martin, swallow, wood
pecker, flicker, oriole, red bird,
tanager, catbird, blue bird and
all other song birds and all birds
that destroy insects are protect
ed by Section 1916 of the Ken
tucky Statutes, which makes it
an offense to kill or catch such
birds except where they shall be
destructive to the fruit or grain
crops.
Squirrels and rabbits are pro.
tecled by the act of March 18,
1904, which makes it unlawful
to kill them between September
15 and November 15. Section
1910 further protects black and
fox squirrels between February
/ and June 13, but is allowable
to kill gray squirrels between
those dates for the protection of
crops.
The Kentucky laws throw a
special protection around the
quail, partridge or pheasant,
which may be eaten only by the
hunter and his family, and
which under no circumstances
may be caught or killed by

Only Partial Relief.

Last winter Commissioner Allen
brought the situation 70 the attention
Of Congress, which, after much argu-
ment, gave the Patent Office twenty
nine additional examiners in order that
they might dispose OF the accumulation
Of work. Even this did not solve the
problem. however. for the officials were
only able 10 appoint them through the

the standard Of examination for en-

Congress" said the acting Commis-
si0ner. The key 70 il undoubtedly is in
the increase Of salaries. The CivH Ser
vice Commission appreciates our predica-
ment and has recommended such an in
crease. No work calls for a more capa-
bic body OF scientific men than ours. and
we can keep them. after educating them,
only by paying salaries fairly compare
tive with the value Of the work they are
doing We need bright young men Of
energy and ambition. but as Il Is we are
helpless. with the pay increased and
the old methods OF examination restored,
the corps would soon again be raised 10
the high standard Of efficiency that give
it the wide reputation IL enjoys, and
would result in disposing Of the many
cases that are now waiting their turn"
Mr.. Moore stated that this would have
