GYPSY MOTH WORK,
Report of the State Entomologist-
 Fighting the Pest at Stonington.

Report of the State Entomologist-
 Fighting the Pest at Stonington.
 The sixth report of the state ento- mologist of Connecticut, which is is- sued to-day as part four of the annual report of the State Agricultural sta- ton at New Haven, describes in detail the work against the gipsy moth at Stonington, this being the only place where the pest has been discovered in the state. Though It's presence was not known until March 6, 19O6 meas ures to control 1t were immediately started, and thirty egg masses found and destroyed before the matching time, May 1. Some had been over looked, however, and matched The caterpillars were caught by placing burlap bands around the trees, the ca terpillars feeding at night and hiding under the bands during the day. Each day the bands were examined and all caterpillars killed. Over ten thousand caterpillars Were destroyed in this manner, and over thirteen hundred trees were banded.
 More than two thousand dollars has been expended in the work so far. Of this eight hundred dollars was fur nished by the board of agriculture and the remainder was squeezed from the station appropriation for insect work. It Is believed that the pest can be externinated from this locality by per sistent work, the worst feature of the situation being the abundance of brush and stone walls in the locality. Much of the brush has been cut and burned, some of the walls have been over hauled and relaid to find egg masses, and others were burned out with all in the summer to kill caterpillars. It is believed that only a few living egg masses now exist, but the suppression work must be kept up for some time in order to make sure. Connecticut can certainly afford to take 0 lesson from Massachusetts, where more than fifteen hundred thousand dollars has been expended in controlling this pest.
 A full description of the insect and methods of combating 1t are given in the report, with many illustrations.
 Other features of the report are pa pers, on insects attacking tobacco in Connecticut, which should be of inter- est to tobacco growers, and an account of the seasons experiments in spraying to kill the San Jose scale, another seri- ous pest of fruit trees; the spiny elm caterpillar, which was so abundant in June; the Immigration of nursery stock and buildings to destroy pests, and other short notes.
 This report contains eighty-eight pages and sixteen plates, and will be sent free of charge after supplying those on the mailing list, to others ask ing for it, until the supply is exhaust ed.

cANADAs USE OF NIAGARA,
Government Competes With Private
 Power Companies.

dONGlull6llI 1olllPCANS W Abli AffNNeN
 Power Companies.
 The development of the hydraulic power of Niagara on the Canadian side is leading to some interesting sequen- ces, says Cassier's Magazine.
 A tribunal called the Hydro Electric Power commission has been created and in the hands of this body has been placed the entire domestic regulation of the power product of stations com ing within government control.
 In addition there has been given to the various municipalities the right to undertake the distribution of electrical energy within their respective limits.
 In order that the commission may be in position to dictate terms to the existing private companies it is inpor- tant that the cooperation of the muni- cipalities be obtained, and this appears to be partially accomplished.
 The city of Toronto has already ar- ranged for fifteen thousand horse-pow- CT of electric energy from Niagara, the price being fourteen to sixteen dollars per horse" pOWSI lOF u SupPlJ LpA GU twenty-four hour day, including trans mission to Toronto, the local distribu- tion to be in the hands of the munich pality, and it Is believed that num- Der of other cities and towns will make similar arrangements.
 These agreements are made with the Hydro Electric Power commission, and it in turn must either secure the power supply from the existing private com panles or else proceed to develop it's own stations.
 It is hardly probable that the latter alternative will be found necessary, since the result would be to leave the private corporations with the greater part of their prospective custom per manently taken away, so that the real consequence of the recent legislation is to compel tfse companies to supply the municipalities through the commission at prices determined by the engineers of the new body.
 It is possible that such measures will prove advantageous to the public, but much will depend upon the manner in which the law is carried out. It has been intimated that this legislation will render it exceedingly difficult for promoters to induce outside capital to engage in the development of natural resources in Canada hereafter.

WFSTPORT METHODISTS TO HAVE HANDSOME NEW CHURCH FDIFICF.

HAVE HANDSOME NEW CHURCH ED1FICE.
 The site for the new church home of the Westport Methodist Episcopal church having been purchased and the fund for the new building having reached the fifteen thousand dollar mark the next step will be the selec- tion of an architect, after which the work will be rushed in the hope to have the new structure completed so that services may be held in it by Thanksgiving.
 The society has secured already fif- teen thousand dollars for the new building and expects to realize fully two thousand dollars more from the sale of the present church Gnd parson- age. This sum has beer raised largely through the efforts of tine pastor, Rev. George Ellsworth Bishop, who was se- lected particularly by the church when he came there two years ago in order that he might take up the work of building g. new church.
 The site of the new church was pur- chased nearly a month ago, when the fund reached fifteen thousand dollars. During the last week of January the official board of the church, after con- sidering several sites, finally purchased for S2,750 the residence and lot of the late Miss Fannie A. Gray. This is in the center of the town, and the new church will face the center For a long time it has been felt that the present church was too far from the center of the town to do It's work pro- perly, and so when the site for this new church was selected 1t was deci- ded to follow what looked like the fu- ture growth of the town. This will probably be along the line of the street railroad
 Congressman E. J, Hill of Norwalk is one of those who have subscribed. His opponent at the last election, Ho- mer Beers, is a member of the official board and also a generous subscriber to the fund.
 It is expected that the new church which will be of stone, will cost at least nineteen thousand dollars The committee visited a similarly built church about the same size in New York state that cost twelve thousand dollars a few years ago. They think that they ought to be able to build their church for at least fourteen thou sand dollars. Tn addition there will be the expense of furnishing the church as well as that for renovating the Gray

DROPPED GOLD TO SAVE LIFE

DROPPED GOLD TO SAVE LIFE.
 Somewhere in the bottom of the Mo- jave river lie two sacks containing five hundred dollars in gold each. George H. Durham, St. Louis capitalist, tossed the money into the river to save himself from drowning.
 Dunflam had been on the desert with Paul Riddle, mining promoter, to look at a group of claims. Samples of ore from the group had so pleased him that he promised to pay Riddle one thousand dollars in gold for an inter- est in the claims if they proved satis- factory after he had made a personal inspection of them.
 Durham had the money in sacks and buckled the sacks into the inside pock- cts of a heavily lined khaki coat As the men were fording the Mojave riv- CT their wagon was overturned and Durham was swept down stream.
 While struggling against the current the weight of the gold handicapped him, and after desperate effort to reach shore with it he finally released the treasure.
 Riddle and the team easily gained shore. He was much disturbed over the loss of the money and he and Dun- ham spent half day dragging the riv- CT bottom, but without result. It Is Biddle's belief that the money will never be recovered, for the sands, he says, will completely bury it.-San Ber- nardino Correspondence of the Los An geles Times.

FELLOW TRAVELLERS.
Gold Seekers and Consumptives on
 the Yuma Trail.


 Ever journeying across the desert sands and climbing the arid peaks and foothills of the southwest are two car- avans, one seemingly rugged and healthy, though afflicted with dis ease called goldomania, the other ema- ciated by the Great White Plague.
 One is scarcely more optimistic than the other; one procession seeks a gilt tering yellow dust that means riches, the other a more precious thing health Though the trail may be long and the water holes may be blistering and the tongue swollen with thirst; though the mountains may be steep and the path strewn with cacti, there is the glittering substance in the sand little further on for the Argonaut; a lease of life at the horizon, when the red desert sun announces the dawn of another day for the White Plaques victim.
 To many seeking their wonted vigor the hope that ever carries them on ward is sometimes as futile as the race after the wilI-o' the-wisp that lures the Argonaut.
 But the procession moves on and on; the pilgrims cannot leave the sands until the mountain air and sunshine have healed the sears made by Deaths chief ally.
 The main trail of the weak-lunged leads from Pecos to Yuma. For more than a thousand miles prospector and plague-ridden traverse its tortuous course. In the caravan seeking gold nearly all are poor, In the caravan ex- fled and fighting for health there are rich and poor, high and low, democrat ic and fraternal in tileir ills and ex- pectancy
 To some this hope is as uncertain of realization as the prospector's pot of gold at the end of the rainbow But many who have early joined the pil- grims, after years of travel by day lIn- der the scorching sun and sleep by night in the pure air of the mountain top, and their allotted exile and return to the old home, a thousand or more miles distant.
 But the ranks are soon recruited. And some there are who must travel along the great highway until the end.
 Oftentimes the bones of prospector and plague-ridden are found bleaching in the canon. The skeleton hand of one is outstretched up the hillside, where others reach the goal-and gold; the bony fingers of the other point home.-St. Louis Republic.

AT NEW HAVEN THEATER
CROSMAN IN 'tALK-OF-A-SUDDEN
 PEGGY.U

Most Charming of American Actresses
 in Jolly Little Comedy at s'he New
 Haven Theatre.
 Last nights attraction at the New Haven theater was Henrietta Crosman in the title role of the big metropolitan hit TAll-of-a-sudden Peggy" Both play and player were distinctly worth the attendance of the best theatergoers of New Haven, who were attracted to MT. Bunnell's theater last evening in even larger numbers than usual to wit ness as thoroughly enjoyable perform- ance by one of the most charming of all American actresses.
 "All-of-a-sudden Peggy" is enphat- ically a star play, with the leadying lady at the center round which the other characters revolve as very minor satellites Indeed, it is more than star play, even; it is play written for a star and that star, Miss Crosnan.
 MT. Denny, the author of the piecei could have had no other than Miss 7 Crosman in his minds eye when pre- pairing "All-of-a-Sudden Peggy" for I the stage, so perfectly does she fit the part. and so perfectly does the part it her. She does not merely play at playing the character She brings the child actually before us in all her child i ish appearance, childish ways and childish responsibility. She is the very figure of genuinenes and nlirth, as she holds us in the grasp of her per- sonality and technical skill The very embodiment of youth and high spirits, Miss Crosman makes Peggy lovable and helievable even in her moments of widest farce, and in fact renders the girl at once more real and more con- vincingly amusing than Mir. Denny can ever have possibly imagined she could 1 be made. Although Miss CTosnan holds the center of the stage during the entire play--she IS scarcely off the 6CS1lS bllSI llCl SANi dlASS AAA bkAO AAAoS tbS@ -lthe other players have much to do that is important. Even the minor parts were presented with as much care as though they were important roles, and with every member of the company following Miss Crosman's excellent ex- ample, enunciating their lines with 1 welcome olearness, the entire perform ance was thoroughly enjoyable To that enjoyment the attractive scenic setting of the acts materially contrib uted,
 MISS CROsNIAN's SPEECH.
 At the end of the second act "All-of- a-sudden Peggy and after Miss Cros- rran had responded to six or seven cur tain calls, she modestly appeared to calls for a speech and in her cute and fascinating manner said: q am glad you like my play. I am happy you lika my company. am pleased to be with you. and I love that roar Here Miss Crosman waved her arms and said: T don't know what ou call it, but love it just the same" And the aYle boys and the house responded with another out burst of applause.

 This is because Paxtine is the most successful formula of a noted Boston physician, used in his private practice for years in curing the most obstinate inflamed and catarrhal conditions of the mucous membrane surfaces of the body, such as sore eyes, sore mouth, sore throat, nasal and pelvic catarrh.

GAMBLING IN FRANCE.

When the French government is lauded for having inaugurated cam Ipaign against gambling houses it must be remembered that it Is taking action only against clandestine ones. IThe municipal gaming houses which flourish in most of the resorts affected by foreigners still exist in order to pro- vide municipal funds, At such places the casino, with it's gambling privi- leges, is let out to some speculator, and between it and the Monte Carlo estab- lishment the only distinction is that whereas there is no cheating at the latter, this can hardly be said of the former.-Truth.
