Death Of Miss Emm. 3. shurtIeff.

| A shock was caused the people OF
Sonth Paris By the death Of Miss Emma
Z. Shurtleff, which occurred very sud-
denly last Tuesday night, from an affec-
ton Of the heart. Miss Shurtleff about
a month before fell and fractured bore
near her ankle, and had since been laid
up, but was thought to be doing we'll,
and no one had looked for anything
more than temporary Inconvenience
from the injury.
Miss Shurtleff was born 10 Portland
Sept. l, 1855, but when eleven years Of
age came with her parents to South
Paris, which has since been her home.
She had been engaged in teaching for
thirty seven years and seven months.
At first she taught in the rural schools Of
the town. In 1880 she took charge Of
the primary school in South Paris, there
being then only one school Of that grade
in the village, and for a number of years
was the only primary teacher here.
| When the number of schools was in
creased with the growth of the village,
she took the primary grade in the Shurt-
| left school, and continued there until her
accident few weeks since. This makes
almost thirty -four years ut continuous
service in the South Paris schools. The
fact was recently noted in the Democrat
that In her thirty.seven years Of teach
ing, she had never had q substitute but
one half day. II this long service were
not in itself sufficient evidence of her
value as teacher, volumes of testimony
could be obtained from the many pupils
whom during these years she has ruled
by love.
Miss Shurtleff is survived by her
parents, Alonzo Z. and Hannah L. Shurt-
left. one sister, Miss Ida NJ. Sburtleff,
and one brother, Arthur K. Shurtleff, all
of South Paris. She was a member of
the South Paris Congregational church
and the Christian Eudeavor Society of
the church.
The Congregational church was filled
at the funeral, which was held Friday
afternoon at o'clock. The business
places of the village were closed during
the services. The schools were suspend
ed, and the teachers and pupils attended
the funeral in body. Not only were
there present relatives and immediate
personal friends, and the schools, but a
large number of the men and women of
the village who had as children received
their first school training at the hands
of the loved Miss Shurtleff.
The funeral was attended by Rev. A.
T. McWhorter, pastor OF the church,
and Rev. Chester Gore Miller of the
Upiversalist church also assisted in the
service and spoke briefly. There were
three selections by a choir composed OF
Mrs. Wilson, Miss Barnes, Mr.. 81. W.
Shaw and DR.. Carl S. Briggs. The bear
ers were n. D. Bolster, Walter a. SWEET,
Alfred H. Jackson, Henry Muzzy, Nelson
G. Elder and Edwin N. Haskell. Inter
ment will be in Riverside Cemetery.
Among those from out of town who
were here to attend the funeral were
Mr.. and Mrs. Everett Tribou and Mrs.
Ada Marston Of Auburn, Willard Stevens
and his son, Ray Stevens, ut Auburn,
and Mrs. C. Fl. Lane aud Mrs. W. F.

Revision of Fish and Game Laws

That the fish and game laws of Maine,
together with the numerous special regu-
lations established by the commissioners,
made q complicated tsugle which hardly
any one could understand, was fact 80
patent that it did not need the official
statement of one of the commissioners to
make it accepted. The inland fish and
game committee of this legislature, with
the assistance of experts, has undertaken
the task Of consolidating all this into one
act, and bill thus prepared was report
cd to the legislature few days since.
All existing laws regulating the taking
OF fish and game, and all special regula-
tions of the commission, are repealed by
this act, so that all regulations are now
combined under one heading.
In due time Tor overdue time) this act
will be published for the reading Of ALL
In the meantime few of the main
features of the law may be noted.
The most striking thing Is perhaps the
change in the length of the fish which
may legally be caught. In the case OF
trout this is fixed at six inches (instead
of the five inches formerly more or less
enforced on brook trout; landlocked
salmon, twelve inches; black bass ten
inches; white perch six inches; with the
single exception of the Belgrade lakes,
where the limit is higher. No distinc.
ton Is made between ponds and brooks,
10 this respect.
No one may take In ono day more than
fifteen pounds In all Of any OF these fish,
"unless one individual fish caught shall
weigh more than fifteen pounds" nor
more than twenty-five fish Of any kind ip
one day. Restrictions on plug fishing 10
the Rangeley Lakes are rs before, not
more than two fish individually, or four
to boat, In any day.
Closed season Is as follows:
On landlocked salmon, trout and
togue, in the lakes and ponds, from
Sept. 80 till the Ice Is out 10 the spring
on white perch and black bass, from
Sept. 80 to June Is; with certain e1,
captions. In the streams above tide
water, on trout and salmon, from Sept.
Is till the ice is out In the spring. In
Thompson Pond, the closed season Is
from Sept. to Jan. /.
Ice fishing under certain regulations is
permitted In certain ponds and lakes, In
Guiding fifty or more in Oxford County.
The tributaries of certain ponds are
closed to all fishing, and number OF
of these ponds are In Oxford County.
All provisions for open time on certain
days Of the week, and close time on the
other days, are done away with.
Close time on game birds is about the
same as before.
On moose the closed season Ia from
Oct. 81 to Dec. l, leaving only the month
Of November for open time.
On deer the closed season In all the
northern and wild land counties Is from
Dec. 10 to Sept. 80.
The bounty on bears is removed en-
tirely.
With all this simplification Of the fish
ing laws and regulations, the commits.
sioners still have authority to make
special restrictions on any waters 10
their discretion, SO that We may expec,
that as soon as the new law goes into
effect, the work of getting 1t into hope.
less tangle again will Immediately begin

School Notes.

The hrst two weeks Of school ended
with fine record of attendance il
spite of the disagreeable weather Of
last week.
Plans are already being laid for q
school exhibit at the Glasgow fail
next year. Each room will prepare q
portion of the exhibit and will receive
that portion of the premium none,
which they WIN. The money SO re-
ceived will be used to purchase pic
lures or statllary to beautify the, re.
spective rooms.
Owing to the large enrolment in
the first and second grades it has been
found necessary to divide these chill.
dren into halliday groups. The school
board is making every effort to pro-
vide for the highest efficiency in the
school work, and they find this plan
most feasible. Under the conditions
1t Will be necessary, perhaps, for
some OF the children in these grades
to study a portion of the day at home.
Therefore the cooperation of the par
ents is desired. Ii everyone pulls to-
gether we can relieve the situation in
this way until the school district is in
q position to provide more room and
more teachers.
There is a general wave passing
over the land-a wave of feeling that
the Child should be provided with the
means for wholesome play. In all
parts OF the United States play
grounds are receiving much attention.
Believing that what is good for other
children is good for Malta's boys and
girls, plans are being laid for the
erection of some simple arraratus for
the amusement Of the school children.
10 uefray the cost a series of public
entertainments Of varying nature will
be given. The first will be lecture
by Mr.. G. w. Harlan of Indiana. Mr..
Harlan comes to us highly recon-
mended. While lie is a humorous
lecturer, an entertainer, his address
is full of thought and beauty. Every
one is urged to hear him, not merely
because we are anxious to secure
funds for the betterment of the school
but because he is a big man whom no
one can afford to miss. This lecture
will be delivered at the Eagles hall
Oct. IA. The price, so cents, is with
in the reach of all, and the special
price of IS cents for children viii en-
able them to enjoy some of he finer
things of life. Please do not forget
the date.

Winter Storage.

A good outside pit or cellar for the
storage of roots and other crops is of
great use on the farm. The cellar
$ hould have room enough to accom-
llodate all the vegetables needed OF
raj sed tor the winter. 1t should have
good ventilation, also, and should be
built SO that the vegeta bles will never
be n danger OF freezing. An outside
cellar is more desirable than the
house cellar, because the latter does
not provide proper ventilation for
successful storage, nor is it Il health
ful place for such purpose, II time
is pressing or cellar space is limited
the root crops and cabbages may be
stored in tile field, straw being laid
on the ground, the crops piled in on
the straw. more straw added and, as
the piles are generally conical in
form, dirt applied over the straw.
Other rubbish and dirt may be added
as the Weather grows colder. Some
work is necessary, however, to dig
out the stored vegetables after the
layers OF dirt have been frozen solid.
