Miss Alma Stetzlcr, star of the
Castle Square Opera Company has just
been interviewed by Boston re-
porter. "Why down in Maine" says
Miss Stetzlcr, sis, in fact, way. way
down. 1t seems to be at the bottom
of things, and you almost literally
have to climb upward on your return
to Boston. Bangor, for instance, is
lively place, but it is the essence of
Yankecdom and the center of down
eastern life. All in ali, we had a
very good time of it on our trip, but
Boston is far better than Bangor"

The government has shown a very
fair method in it's work on the new
battery at Popham by employing men
in the towns close by rather than to
employ others who applied. The rule
was to employ home people first and
then take strangers. AS a, result the
money paid out on the government
work there has been of great help to
the towns in the lower part of Saga
dahoc.

Calais Advertiser: The alwives
are running at Porter's mill stream,
and will be UP here in a day or two.
These alewives are a very gamey fish.
The usual mode of catching them
when you haven't a good fly, is to
wade out into the shallow water
around the furnace or under Hills
mill, and grab them with your hands
ard sling them ashore. This method
may not appeal to the true sports
man, but does first rate for those who
want to pickle barrel or two of the
juicy Saspercau.

CHANGERS MEET.

Question of d Farmers Fair
Will De Discussed This
Afternoon

Members Of the County Grange, Pa
irons Of Husbandry Of New Castle
county, designated as Pomona Grange,
met In quarterly session in dupont
Post rooms, Third and King streets.
this morning, Oliver w. Eastburn,
worthy MASTER presiding
The attendance was unusually large.
grangers and their wives from all
parts OF the county being present.
During this mornings session reports
were received from Union. Diamond
State Peach Blossom. Hockessin, Gem
ter Harmony. West Brandywine and
Rose Hill subordinate oranges. and all
showed that the oranges were in a
healthy state. Newark and New Cas-
tie oranges failed TO make reports
The reports Of the committees Of
the various oranges showed that all
of them are making an effort TO in
crease their membership until the hum
dred mark is reached, but there ap-
pears to be a sentiment that unless
members pay up their dues promptly
AN dattend the meetings with as much
regularity as possible that 1t would
be better TO have smaller member
ship In the oranges, composed of those
who have the welfare OF the organiza-
ton at heart. than to have a large
membership of those who appear to
care nothing about the good Of their
respective oranges.
The most important report submit
ted thi morning was that Of Worthy
Master Eastburn, who met with the
tax commission in Dover during the
present week. He reported that the
grange delegates were treated cour-
teously by the commission, and that he
believed that the commissioners would
do excellent work.
At this afternoons session the ques-
ton Of holdinr n farmer fair will come
up for discussion. and It Is probable
that If IL is decided to continue the
fair this year that some steps win be
taken toward forming. an organization
among the members OF he grange
whereby It will be responsible in case
Of a loss to exhibitors.
