The ''Mudgett Boys" of Stockton.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL.
Reading the obituary of Mrs. L. P. Mud
gett of Everett, Mass, formerly of
Stockton Springs and widow of Major
Louis Parker Mudgett, who was killed
leading his regiment in charge after
Lee had surrendered, recalled to my
memory the stirring times of nearly fifty
years ago. Well do I remember when L.
P. and William Mudgett, cousins of mine
enlisted in the Castine company of the End
Maine Volunteers. Oh, how wanted to
go with them; but being under age my
father would not say go. He used to
tell me there would be plenty of chances
for me later on, and he was right, for
when the 10Th Maine was formed in 1862
l enlisted and served three years. Those
two Mudgett boys were noble young
men. They joined as privates and L. P.
nose to the command of regiment and
William came home with stsr on his
shoulder Parker's body was brought
home and buried in Stockton, and sad
day it was for the little village when they
laid him away, wrapped in the Stars and
Stripes for which he gave his noble life.

The New Trolley Line.


The announcement that a trolley line
will soon be built between Camden and
Belfast, to form link in system to
extend the entire length of the Penob-
scot valley, is another indication of the
wonderful development Of electric car
transportation now going on in this
State. Soon the Penobscot Valley sys-
tenn will be connected with the Kennebec
valley, and some time it will be possible
to ride by trolley car from Brunswick
to Rockland, thence to Bangor, and back
by way of Waterville and Augusta. The
trolley will do much to acquaint our sum-
mer visitors with the many beautiful re-
sorts that Maine possesses, and thus help
in the development of the vacation State.

TO FIGHT EcRET SALES.
People Protest Uncle Sans Auction of
Murdered Mother Birds.

Murdered Mother Birds.
New YORK, August 10th. Shocked by
the thought of Uncle Sam selling the
nuptial plumes of many mother birds,
butchered in the midst of their starving
young, thousands of Americans have
joined movement of protest against
such disposal of the egrets, seized by
the custom house in this city, which the
government has just ordered to be sold
here. From almost every State in the
union scores of communications have
been received by the National Associa-
ton of Audubon Societies at it's head
quarters, al Broadway, offering support
and urging action to prevent putting the
nation in the bloody business of the MILL
ners, who are insisting upon this hui
initiating step. By it's lax legislation and
law enforcement against the bird butch
ers, the Empire State is alone RESPONSE
BILE in this instance for thus making the
government traffic in these spoils of
murdered motherhood, it is declared.
While these costly heron plumes are
to-day held here at the custom house, to
be auctioned off to the milliners whose
women customers still call for the bar
barlc trophies in their bonnets, hundreds
Of wives and mothers in this city and
throughout the country are organizing to
protest against this national shame.
Backing the Audubon workers in this
movement the National Federation of
Women's Clubs is already arrayed, as
well as many sportsmen's organizations
and oranges, whose members want the
birds to protect their crops rather than
to become the dead wares of a few
Broadway milliners. From several friends
and appreciators of bird life money has
been sent to be devoted to fighting the
mllliners, whose commercial backing has
enabled them with staff of lawyers to
urge Uncle Sam to traffic in these scalps
of mother birds much against his will.
Plans to prevent any further possibility
OF the government profting by the sale
! Of these egrets, torn from the backs of
butchered females with young, are al
ready being made in this city. State and
federal officials are to be at once warned
of the urgency of their duty in this mat
ter, and every effort made by the people
in States where laws are lax on this
point to obtain legislation forbidding the
sale Of egrets by government officials.
In New York State, particularly, the
officials whose attitude was the chief
cause given by the government for re-
versing its former decision to destroy
the contraband heron plumes, will be
urged to take every possible action to
prevent repetition of this national dis
grace through the Empire State.

"BLUEBERRY TINE" IN MAINE.
Fifteen Hundred People at Work Now in
Washington County,


This is ''blueberry time'' in Washing
ton county. Throughout the $50, 900 acres
of "blueberry barrens" are hundreds of
persons engaged in picking the berries.
To them the season means revenue Of
many this is one of the factors of their
annual existence. An average of twenty
dollars is gained by each of the fifteen
hundred persons occupied. They work
on a percentage basis. Much of the
product of their toll is turned over to the
canning factories, there to be prepared
for consumption during the months when
blueberries are not in season and in those
places where the luscious berries do not
grow. One of these factories has daily
capacity of 700 bushels. 1t does not
start operations until great guam
tity of berries has been accumulated.
Two weeks usually disposes of the yield,
the portion of which this factory con-
sumes being about seventy-five hundred
bushels. There are about half dozen
such large factories. Most of the land
devoted to BURBERRY raising in Maine is
included within Washington county. Here
nearly two hundred and fifty square miles
of foothills and plains are covered with
the little shrubs, which in the latter part
of July and early August of each year
are plucked of their sought-for fruit.
From all over the county the variegated
army of pickers comes. Entire families
give over fortnight to the work and re-
turn with one hundred dollars sometimes.
While much of the berries are turned
over to the Gamers, a quantity is packed
for sale in the markets Of the large cities.
Boston receives lot of its blueberries
from here.
