JUSTICE BARNARD TELLS
Of FLOWERS IN MAINE
Finds Masses Of Fringed Polygala
on Shores Of Kezar
Lake.
Number of Blossoms Discovered for
First Time in That Locality
This Year.

Justice Job Barnard. who is on his
vacation with Mrs. Barnard at their
place in the Maine woods, has written
to friends here an Interesting account
Of the flora in early summer in the
neighborhood Of Center Lowell. AL
though Justice and Mrs. Barnard have
been visiting the Maine woods in sum-
mer for eleven years, he reports seeing
this year a number of flowers for the
first time in that locality, which is
about twenty miles east of Mount
Washington, on the shores of Kezar
lake.
Justice Barnard's letter is. in part,
as follows:
'"The woodlands were bright with the
purple-pink or rose-red blossom Of the
fringed polygala. They covered every
knoll In our Wasumont woods, among
the many bunchberry plants. which had
not yet fully opened their flowers. The
polygala is sometimes called false
wintergreen, or towering winter
green: and an interesting charac-
teristic of it is that 1t has two kinds
Of blossoms. one for beauty, at the top
high. of rose-red color. and one to
bear the seed, the inconspicuous fertile
flower, concealed on delicate runners
or shoots under ground.
I'VE have sometimes found a single
blossom of this beautiful plant in mid
summer. but we never had the pleasure
Of seeing 1t in masses until this year.
Finds Star Flower Also.
Growing in the same localities was
the star flower, with its whorl Of green
leaves and its modest white star blos-
som.
The pink lady's slipper was Just
reaching perfection when we came. A
white one was considerably larger than
the pink ones. but of the same shape
substantially.
In the deep moist woods we found
the clintonia borealis in bloom. We
have frequently admired it's rich green
leaves, similar in appearance to those
OF the lady slipper. and its bunch of
bright blue berries. in late September,
but never saw its greenish-yellow flow
1T is distinguished by being named
after the historic Governor of New
York, De Witt Clinton, But is unfortu-
nate In not having any common name
to identify it. In this respect it is like
the pretty little two-leaved maianthe-
mum canadense. which frequently
grows near it, and lifts its feathery
white blossoms in early June. and later
in the summer exhibits it's bright
bunch Of red berries. It has no COM
to in the books, as a two-leaved Solo
mons seal, but it's flower and fruit
would seem to suggest kinship to the
false Solomon's seal rather than the
true plant of that name.
Another interesting flower we have
seen for the first time is a third plant
without a common name, the rhodo-
dendron rhodora, a shrub belonging to
the heath family, and closely related to
the wild azalea. Some of the residents
here call it laurel, but its flowers are
nothing like the laurel that we see in
Rock Creek Park.

W. VA. DELEGATES In
PECULIAR PLIGHT


CHARLESTON. W. Va. Dec. 10
The fact that the new primary law
OF West Virginia designates Jupne 8
as the day for holding the statewide
primary election. which Is one day
before the date set for the national
nominating convention in Chicago. has
given rise to considerable speculation
among politicians of the state.
II is believed that the difficulty will
be less marked IL only the names OF
the required number of delegates ana
alternatives be permitted on the pri-
mary ballot as the count of votes can
be made and the election OF delegates
certified within as hours or by the
time the vote OF the presidential can
dtdate is taken In the national con-
vention.
No official solution has been sug-
gested by the state committee but
leading Republicans are OF the opinion
that the difficulty will be surmounted
without endangering the validity OF
the delegates.

RUSS WITHDRAW
FROM RUMANIA

LONDON. Dec. 20. 1853 a. m
There has been considerable specu-
lation in London for sometime as to
what become OF the Russian troops
which concentrated on the Rumanian
border several weeks ago with the ap-
parent intention OF entering the Balkan
conflict At the time when Russian
cooperation in the Entente allies cam
psign would have been the most for
tuitous they were described I'm all re-
ports as poised on the Rumanian from
tier ready for an immediate invasion
OF Bulgaria. but after weeks OF sus-
pense during which repeated rumors
converted Russia's long heralded move
into an accomplished fact. u was
learned that the Russian incursion
never advanced beyond the prepare
tory stage.
Recently an absolute lack of new de-
velopments regarding the Russian plan
In this quarter led most observers to
decide that hopes for a Russian inter
Terence were either premature or
based upon circumstances since al
tered. II is no wreported that the Rus
sian force Is being withdrawn from the
Rumania border.
Dispatches to the Telegraph from
rotterdam quote the Berliner Tage-
olatt to the effect that the greater part
OF the Russian party concentrated in
this secion hast already been moved
from REM northward to Bukowina and
that all plans for attacking the Bull
garians had been abandoned in favor
OF new offensive against Bukowina.

ACADEMY DROPS ONE
TO JOHN MARSHALL
Captain Brown Yields Only Two
Safeties, But Loses Game,
To 3.

Despite the fact that the Richmond
Academy boys got just five times as
many hits as their opponents. the
Orange and Blue team lost a fast
contest yesterday afternoon at Byrd
Park to the John Marshall aggre-
CATION, the count being to 3. Wood
ward, the MarshaIlite hurisr. was
touched for total of ten hits, while
Monk" Brown, the stellar young
Acadmey portsider, yielded only two
still his team lost.
The Academy team went into the
game with the same old hight that
has characterized practically every
contest in which they have part1ci-
pated for the past two years. The
Academy boys felded well, only one
miscue being credited against them,
Captain Brown was unusually wild
yesterday, walking six men and hit
ting two of the public school boys.
John Marshall managed to garner a
couple of runs in the opening frame,
and in the fifth stanxa Brown hit
Tinsley with the bases loaded. fore
ing in the third run. With the score
standing three-all In the seventh.
and with Turner on the third station,
kuyk let one OF Monks twisters get
away from him, thus letting the
fourth and winning run across the
pan.
Although the Academy boys hit
Woodward hard, tho hits were scat
tered, and II was due to this that
kept the score down. Every one of
the Academy's runs were the result OF
safe swats.
The hitting of Miller and Brown
featured for the Academy team. the
former getting a home run. triple and
two singles. out of four trips to the
plate. Brown got couple OF safe
ties, which were as many as the en-
tire John Marshall team secured. The
work of Turner on the bases featured
for the Marshallites.
This makes John Marshalls thir-
teenth straight victory.
The tabulated score:
