WIN
FROM FORESTERS
At LEWISTON.

Lewiston, Me-. Feb. 1-(speciaD.-In the
roughest basketball game that the sena-
tors have participated In this season,
that team downed the Foresters in City
hall, Lewiston, Saturday night by score
of. 16 to 10. Five hundred people Witness
ed the match and despite the rough tae=
tics employed the game was interesting
throughout. -
With the Foresters leading by the mar
row margin of one point in the last min
ute of play. Cooper came through with a
goal from floor that did the trick.
The first half ended 10 to in favor OF
the Foresters and it looked rather dubious
for the Augusta five. Fate had decreed
otherwise and a comeback in the last
period enabled the Senators to win.
The Senators have participated in one
or two rough games this season but this
one apparently excelled all records for
knockouts. Bloody noses, torn jerseys
and bruised shoulders were common.
The police interfered several times.
Smiley, the husky right back of the Sem
ators, received a full right swing to the
jaw from Boucher, the Lewiston white
hope" who made his debut with Bob lie
Favour in the ring at City hall, Au-
gusta. last year. But Smiley only smiled
and played the game. With Harvey and
Daicey out of the lineup, the Senators
won out just the same and they feel that
it has become a regular habit.
Brown, who held down the pivot posi-
ton, played a whirlwind game. Grenier
and Stuart worked together in a spectac-
ular manner and Cooper was there in the
time of need.
While Norton failed to cage any goals
for his team, he played clean, fast
game The lineup and summary:

BroWn-TaiI Moth is Now in
The Lime|ight.
How to Destroy Il and Save
Parasite Is Question.
Board Of Charities and Corrections
Gives State Poor Figures.
STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Regular Meetings Of Governor and
Council Will Be Held at 10 A. M.
Thursday, Feb. and 26.

People all over the State are max
ing inquiries as to the proper meth
cd of handling brown-tail moths, and
these inquiries are for the most part
coming from people who in removing
them have discovered that they are
already filled with little flies which
are the parasite now destroying the
pest. These people have found out
that the question Of how to destroy
the nests without injuring the para
site Is a serious one, for often before
removing the nests there Is no way OF
knowing that the little fly has made
his home In the same.
II has been discovered by many
people that upon removing the nests
the little flies are present IN great
numbers. They are brought out by
sunlight; in stormy or cloudy weather
they stay shut up in the nests. Ihere
in the nests they are feeding upon the
pest. The State department OF ag-
riculture, under the direction or which
the moth determination work Is be-
ing successfully carried on, expresses
the hope that all interested in the ex-
termination of this pest Will acqualnt
themselves with the nature OF the
parasites so that none Will De Destroy :
ed through ignorance of the habits OF
these beneficial insects.
Major E. E. Philbrook, who is In
charge of the moth determination
work in the State under the depart
ment of agriculture, states that IN
stead of burning the nests, the best
way is to, place the nests In barrei
and smear the inside of the barrel
with tanglefoot for three or four
inches from the top. AS the cater
pillar energies II will be caught IN
the tanglefoot, and as its vitality VIII
have been SO much reduced by the
parasite feeding upon it, it will be
unable to escape. The parasite. how
ever, will emerge from the nest and
fly away. AS the work of this para
site in it's first winter nests is only
part of its mission in the world, peo-
pie handling brown tail moth nests
cannot take too much care that these
parasites may not be destroyed.

THE STATES POOR.
Interesting Figures from Office OF
State Board of Charities.

Secretary James F. Bagley OF the state
Board of Charities and Corrections In
preparing the annual report OF the board
recently condensed the table of figures
recently made up from the reports of the
superintendents of almshouses all over
the State.
Practically every city and town in the
State has made its report to this board
regarding almshouses and a summary OF
these reports is of interest as showing
how the conditions vary In the dinerent
parts Of the State.
The total number OF people In the State
fully supported during the past year
was 2458 and those partially supported
numbered S424 The number assisted per
1000 population varied from none to So.
The average for the different counties
varied from FIVE to Is. The average for
the entire State was II. of which consid-
erably less than one to every 1000 was a
State pauper.
The number of travellers and vagrants
lodged at the expense of the poor de-
partment Of the cities and towns was re-
ported to be 5sss. OF course this does not
include those lodged in the police de-
partments Of the larger cities.
The total net expenditure by the cities
and towns for poor amounted to $685.. .346.-
n. The State expenditure amounted to
N2S,629.s6. The average cost per capita
Of population varied from 50 cents In
Washington county to 81 cents In Knox
county, and the average for the entire
State was a little over 40 cents. Poor
people cost the State q fraction over SOS
per capita of population. making the
whole cost a trifie under SIS.
It was notable fact that while the
number assisted per 1000 of population did
not vary in inverse ration to the density
Of population, the number assisted per
capita did, Generally speaking 1t cost
the counties which were the most
densely populated the most per capita
pf population for poor relief
In Kennebec county the number of peo-
pie reported to be fully supported during
The past year was 129 while 914 were par
TALLY supported. The average per 1000
population was IT. During the year the
county lodged 1914 travellers and va
grants The net cost of the poor to the
cities and town Of the county was $685.

New York, Feb Additional impetus
in the movement toward the formation
of an international boxing organization
for the control of professional boxers has
been furnished by the agitation in Eng
land for such a body. The growing de-
mand throughout the British Isles for an
association of this type clearly indicates
the present unsettled status of boxing.
AS an illustration, there may be quoted
an appeal printed in the London Times
to American, French and English sports
men to organize a controlling body for
boxing-a body which would control the
whole question of world championships
and which would decide how long a
champion could hold a title without meet
ing a man in his own class

ST, MARY'S COLLEGE
DEFEATS FORT KENT.

Van Buren,, Me-. Feb. 1.-tSpeciaD. BE
fore a large crowd at the Town hall. the
st. Mary's College basketball team de-
feated the fast Fort Kent five at that
place Friday evening by the decisive
score of 80 to IA. The game was rather
one-sided from the beginning. but the
Fort Kent men made a short rally to-
ward the end of the second half. Six of
their seven baskets were secured during
the second half
OF the ST. Mary's men, Capt. Radigan
IA made seven baskets, Johnson '16 10
baskets and OConnell '16 one also. Pro-
vost IA and Cyr IA, two fast backs. did
splendid defensive work, while the pass
ing of O'Connell '16 and Capt. Radigan
was responsible in no small measure for
the big score.
Roberts starred for the Fort Kent team,
making four baskets, Kenny Klein COM
ing second with two baskets. The team
as a whole lacked organization.
The victory adds another notch to st-
Marys upward climb for the champion
ship of northern Maine.
