The petition of Earnest Goodwin and
81 others for the repeal of the present
law, making a close time on beaver,
which was introduced in the House
Thursday, is likely to create a great
deal of discussion when it comes up
again for consideration. The present
law provides that when it is actually
proven that beavers are doing any con-
siderable amount of damage the fish
and game commissioners may send
wardens into the section, where the
beavers are doing the damage and kill
them. An attempt was made to re-
peal this law at the last session of the
Legislature, as it was claimed by tim
berland owners that the beavers had
damaged valuable timberland,, and the
owners wished that anyone might have
the privilege of killing beavers in the
localities occupied by their timberland.
The opposition contends that the re-
peal of the law would give an oppor-
tunity to everyone to hunt beaver for
the pelts.

GOV. Ferna|d Wants to

ernor at Banquet Friday.
Moellng Of legislative Committee

In regard to the measures that are
pending in the Legislature and some
others that will be presented the COM
ing week the warning word, 1.-THE ap-
rropriations must be kept, down." has
come from the Executive department.
Governor Fernald intimated Friday
that he would not hesitate to use the
power of veto allowed him by the
constitution in any case where he be-
leves that an appropriation is eX-
orbitant Or unwarranted. He wishes
to make it emphatic for those desir-
ing to increase appropriations for
many institutions that they must show
good reason for the increase before
they can expect the sanction of the
LEGISLATURE. The Governor further in
timated that all the appropriations
must be kept within reasonable limits
and in accordance with the income of
the State.
Several of the State officials have
held conferences with Governor Fer
nald regarding an increase of salary,
but he says that he is strongly opposed
to the increase OF the salary of any
official unless it can be shown that
the increased work of the department
warrants more pay.
Governor Fernald gave a banquet at
the Augusta House at I p NJ. Friday

George AIDES Manicure .

OF all the types drawn by George AIDE,
the humorIst, none has hit the popular
fancy better than his manicure, which he
introduced in q short comedy, with the
mayor of western town as the other
principal character. In it the mayors
SON while at college fell in love with the
village manicure, and when he returned
home the woman followed him and tried
to extort money from the father. The
manner in which AIDE worked out the
situation, showing the humorous side OF
it, even though dealing with an adven-
turess, is one of the best things he has
ever done.
The sketch is called 1.-THE Maid and the
Manicure, and will be presented at
Keith's next week by Edward Holt and
company. This week will also be the last
of the Fadettes, after most successful
season.
Another novelty this week will be Kid
Gabriel in his wonderful poses, being re-
productions OF the famous Remington
paintings of ranch life. Others will be the
four Rianos, acrobats; Smith and Camp

comedian, and the four dancing bugs,
something which will prove . surprise in
the dancing line.
