cit is a patriotic duty for individual
citizens TO Join in the state work
against the gypsy and brown-tail
moths" said the Hon. Charles o. Bail
ey, recently at a banquet Of the Bos-
ton Boot and Shoe club.
The after-dinner proceedings of that
organization were devoted entirely TO
Mr.. Bailey's account of the movement
against insect pests now going on in
Massachusetts.
The state" said he, began making
appropriations for the determination
OF the gypsy moth in 1890, and those
appropriations were continued for 10
years until over s1,000,000 had been
expended A grand work was done
during that time, even though there
may have been things TO criticise. But
after the 10 years the state ceased
its grants Of money. This was owing
20 the scepticism Of the men who lived
outside what was then termed the
moth zone, and the opposition came
from people who said: Over $1,000
600 for spraying bugs? It's simply a
humbug. It's done 10 give somebody

" passed resolutions calling upon
corporations to submit copies OF va

order that a uniform system of ac-
counts may be worked out. The first
two resolutions relate TO bookkeeping
of the finances OF gas and railroad
companies, while the third resolution
directs oil railroad companies to fle
complete traffic records indicating the
time Of starting every car or train

One cannot help thinking how neg
lected and lonely Commodore Wander
bilt appears in the dust-covered statue
on the frieze of the downtown freight
depot The passer-by. indeed, hard
ly knows who that dimly-seen figure
can be. and really IL seems strange
that any such memorial should ever
have been so obscurely lodged. And
vet there may be some propriety IN
II for the depot stands in what was
once st. Johns park, which the Com
modore bought for this purpose II
contained four acres and was W y
cheap at round million. In fact, !,
was the best bargain he ever made
for the railroad. and the church has
always regretted the sale as the
property has increased fourfold In
value. This is the only NanderbiI'
statue in the city, but his son. VII
liam, certainly deserves one foi
bringing the Central park obelisi
from Egypt, for which he paid $50.
600. The Commodore was a gigantic
master. both on land and sea. and
what seems very remarkable. he was
as handsome as he was smart. Ht
was. indeed. the finest looking bust
ness man New York ever produced
with that noble form and those rich
brown eyes that at one time coult
look friendship and at another blaze
in lightning. and then TO think tha
all that Is left is something that onl,
recalls one Of Artemas Wards wa,
feeers"

81 900. 900 more, and in view OF what
is now taking place. that prophecy oil
mine Is about to be realized. We
needed only another annual appropri-
alton 10 complete the work, yet the
legislature left off before the job was
finished"
Mr.. Bailey proceeded, In explaining
the law, to show how towns and indi'
viduals could and were required 10 CO.
operate in the effort. He added that,
taking into account the sums eypend-
ed by the towns and by individuals,
about $4,000 had been spent in the
work during the past year.
When the extensive military man
euvres take place here during ola
home week all the people and their
guests will have a fine opportunity 10
see what provision has been made by
the national government since 1898 Tor
the protection of Boston against at
tack.
The scheme, as outlined In a letter
TO Governor Guild from the war de
partment, is to demonstrate just what
the present forces OF the coast artll-
lery which are now on permanent duty
at the ports on our coast, assisted Dy
our militia, could do in case OF an at
tack.
To carry out this program the war
department asked that the state send
to cooperate with the regulars one
regiment OF coast artillery, one regi-
ment Of infantry and the naval bri-
gade.
This request was promptly respond
ed to by the governor, who assured
the department that the Massachusetts
militia were more than anxious 10 JOIN
with the regulars in these interesting
maneuvers.
Not only will the maneuvers be in
teresung to the militia, but also TO
the public generally, as they Will un-
doubtedly demonstrate TO the latter
that the immense fortifications which
line the coast from Cape Cod 10 Glou'
cester can Withstand the attack OF any
enemy attempting to land here.
The Notifications built recently at
Forts Revere, Banks, Andrews, War
rem and Strong, with their heavy arm
ament, are considered by every mill
tary man who has inspected them TO
be the strongest and most formidable
In the country, and with the wide
sweep of the heavy guns 1t would be
impossible for the enemy TO land
troops on our coast within 20 miles
OF Boston.
