A NEW BIRD
Specimens of English Startling Receiv.
ed at State Museum

Several specimens of variety of
bird which, although at present prac-
tically unknown in the State of Maine
seems certain to soon be as plentiful
here-perhaps as plentiful as We're the
English sparrows a few years ago,
have been received at the State muse
UNI, and are being mounted for exhib-
ition. The name of the variety is the
English starting. There are seven adult
and three young birds. and they were
seEt to the museum by Charles F. Sor-
ries Of Meriden. Conn. The adult birds
are about the size of the red winged
blackbird, and the coloring is dark
brown and black, showing rich irrides-
cent tints.
The male and female birds are very
similar in appearance. Their beaks are
long and sharp and bright yellow in
color. The young show but little par
entail resemblance being of light olive
brown hue. Some starting eggs, which
for some time have been in the pos
session Of the museum. are of pale
blue tint. and are little smaller than
a robins egg.
Curator James states that the star
ling is regarded as a rather undesrab bile
bird citizen, having a propensity for
driving away other small birds from
his neighborhood. -He has the redeem
ing feature Of being an insect catcher,
as was evidenced when the sizzards Of
the specimens received here were found
filled with beetles and flies of various
kinds. Like the sparrow. the starting
is sociable body, and builds his home
where there is human companionship.
The birds We're introduced several
years ago in New York city by some
presumably misguided person. They
increased rapidly and are now getting
well established in Connecticut and
Massachusetts,. Their arrival in Maine
can not be far in the future. The fish
and game department has received
numerous inquiries about the starting
and Curator James purpose in secur-
ing the specimens was that those in
terested may see just what the bird is
like. Specimens will probably be sent
from here to other museums of the
State

Men Declare
for European Plan
Adoption in Maine

, He thought that by the European plan
most hotels would let more rooms than
under the American plan. He said
that out of 1876 who stopped at his no.
tel over night nearly all of them stop
ped for breakfast. He was confident
that the European plan would show a
decided gain in its favor in the mat
ter of saving.
+. L. Binn of the Eagle Hotel,
Brunswick, said that he would not
change back to the American plan if
all of the other hotels in the State did
half of the waste
il. L. Thurston of Portland said that
five years ago he started with both
plans, the European and the American.
He thought that a hotel should stick
to one or the CtEer plan. He had elm
lrated the American plan and was now
using the European plan entirely. In
the smaller places he thought that it
might be necessary to hold onto the
American plan. He thought that the
smaller hotels would also be required
to get along with a less elaborate bill
of fare. His personal experience had
been that he saved from Is to 20 per
cent. on his bills of fare under the Eu-
ropean system. Mr.. Thurston was ask
ed by Mr. Rines what effect he thought
that the adoption of the European plan
would have on the summer visitors and
he replied very frankly that he thought
that it would keep some of them out.
Wilbur T. Emerson of the Augusta
House said that in his opinion the
small hotels could operate on the Eu-
ropean plan as we'll as the larger ones.
He favored the checking system for
dining rooms and thought that it would
be greatly appreciated by the patrons.
DR.. Leon S. Merrill, dean of the Col
iege of Agriculture, who was present
at the meeting, tried to secure an esti-
mate from those present Of the amount
of food that they believed would be
saved under the European plan and
some placed it as high as one-haif and
others said that 40 per cent. would be
saved. Mr.. Blinn declared that since
he had changed from the American to
the European plan the garbage man
had refused to take his waste, because
there was so little of value in it,
j. $. Maher of the Lafayette Hotel,
Portland. said that conditions varied
in different localities and he was not
fully convinced that the European
plan would work everywhere. NJ NJ.
Tarr of Pennington advocated the
checking system and Mr.. Blinn thought
that people would double up more in
rooms and make a saving there.
r. w. Haines of the Coburn House.
Skowhegan, favored the change from
the American to the European plan. He
believed that many hotels would either
have to adopt it or go out of business.
