The shad season on the Kennebec
river has been the poorest for years
and the fishermen will almost be glad
to have the season close tonight, so
that they may turn their attention to
other work. High and muddy water
has been the cause Of the fish passing

Of the torpedo boat destroyer Samp-
son last week, says the Courier-Ga :
zette. The course was selected from
among the many sites on the Atlantic
coast becaues Of its great depth and
proximity to the mainland. The evo-
luton Of battleship construction has
brought craft which require much
larger sweep in making their turns to
go back over the mile course, until
now they need a clear stretch of five
miles from each end of the course.
This is easily obtained on the north
ern end. but considerable risk is said
to accompany the maneuvers Of the
modern battleships on the opposite
end. The proposed battle cruisers,
with their length of 500 feet, will be
tried at Guantanamo. Cuba, it is said.
The Rockland course would still be
used for the trial of destroyers and
medium sized warships.

countered a terrific storm and all
hands except his wife urged Capt.
Sheffield to abandon the ship, but he
refused and took her safely into

Trimmings That Count.

The woman who has some of her
spring frocks and blouses made at
home by a seamstreSs usually laments
the lack of the Finishing touch found
in the work of 4 high class dress
maker and more and more, in the ready
made clothes in the shops. But there
is no reason why homemade clothes
should not have just the touches that
make for success in clothes.
To begin with, if you contemplate
having some blouses and frocks made
at home, take time to look through
the shops at ready-made things Note
especially. the way they are finished
and trimmed.
Wolfe, for one thing, is fashionable
for blouses, and YOU Will note that
some of the voile biouses show wide
reverS really extensions of the fronts
turned back. and collars and cuffs with
Unfinished edges. SO, if you have
a blue or rose Voile blouse. made at
home, plan to have the collar, cuffs
and revers finished with machine picot.
This will be done at trimming and
pleating shop for few cents yard.
All YOU have to do is to cut out the
piece, leaving perhaps half an inch or
an inch extra on all edges to be finish
ed. Then run line of basting just
where you want the picot edge-and in

formal or less occasions. For example,
an laborate silk coat with a silk after
noon frock and the woven coat with what
is known as the sport sui'-which is
adapted only TO morning or afternoon
walking or to the country.
The latest and most fashionable plan
for spring wraps is 70 have the coat
match the skirt and made of the same
goods Even the hat. stockings and
shoes match in the new costumes. A
dark shade of blue and the Bersaglieri
green are prevailing hues; but 1t is

 GREAT, DEPUTATION Many Colored Umbrellas and Blaring Bands Travel

It was the first visiting lodge to arrive. They had the largest number in line for visiting lodge and received a, handsome silver cup as a prize.
 Despite the drizzling rain that fell all morning, bands and drum corps played brayeIy announcing the com ing of the various lodges as they 'es- corted them to their places in the, pa rade formation or to the Moose club house in Main street. There were five bands and four drum corps in the pa- rade.
 Early today the delegates to the con- vention of yesterday were out sight seeing and at Il o'clock the board of governors in carriages visited the var 1ous parks and other points of interest in the city. Members of the board of governors present were: Richard Walker, Greenwich; Elmer Willie, Rockville; Frank P. Fenton, Willi- mantle; James T. Limerick New Ha- ven; Joseph P.

THREE BANDITS KILLED IN CLASH
 WITH TROOPS IN LOWER RIO GRANDF

Brownsville, June 17.-Revtva1 of bandit activity in the lower Rio Grande valley last night resulted in vigorous action by authorities, which was interpreted today here as presag- ing a determined attempt to nip the periodical recurrence of outlawry in the bud by dealing with the marauders in American soil.
 Soon after reports were received by bandits appeared near San Benito, several attachments of troops were sent to deal with them. Motor cars were communicated in accordance with pre-arranged plans and two com panies of the 18th infantry were dis patched from Harlingen to Olrnito, 10 miles north of Brownsville, with or- ders to cut off the bandits retreat across the Rio Grande into Mexico. Meanwhile, another force of two com pantes of infantry sent from San Ben ito earlier in the night to investigate reports that the Joe Scott ranch had been attacked found their quarry ten miles, east of San Benito.
 A running fight took place in which. according to meagre reports available here, three Mexicans were killed while
