VOL. XXXVIII AUGUSTA, MAINE. MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 7, lOOT NO. 236 SESSIONS OVER. Natural History Conven tion Comes to Close. Final Sessions of New England Federation Well Attended. Interesting Talks Given by Several Fluent Speakers. Portland, Me., Oct. 6.—Tim oUrtotg sc^ion* of the quarterly meetin^'of thoyed ar.d in speaking of it last evening tof- Jthn Ritchie, Jr., the president, dd that he considered the Cape shore admirable place for nature study. Of irse ihe members who came from in places found very much to inter pthem and their only regret was that could not remain longer. the evening meeting two intcr and Instructive talks were giv one by Miss M. Edna Clierrington ..ton on “New England ,\1 osset ^Thelr Economic Value." tend the i by Miss Delia Griffin of Fa!r museum, St. Johnsbury, Vt.. on jcational Work of Museums.” The fSiti'-n was called to order at s fclock by President Ritchie, who an lounced the trip to Ilowdoin Colleg" ^this afternoon, after which he spoke at length of next summer's visit to Mount Washington. He said that this place is one of the best for study in the country tend among nth, r tilings tlinl arc- to found thee 1," men tioned a species of butterfly whic U came there during the glacial period, its home Icing in Labrador. This but terfly lives at an altitude- of toon feet and never goc-> below that mark, it lias a coiisi'.i in Colorado wli: it if is unable to visit and which, like itself, is ma rooned rear the summits of the moun tains. Miss f herrington was the first speak er and at she beginning she- said that It it. easy to study mosses without they alcl of a microscope. One of the great eliifms of the study is that one may go out In one's backyard and find a specimen that is not to lie found else i where within 10h miles and may not Ijtave a name. Perhaps on the city ‘greets one may see peeping lorth from etweer. the bricks a moss that is not phd in anv collection. One may won _ i the spring what gives the fields ._ woods the preen tore when the oxv Is melting, but the bright green c Is given by the little mosses which ^expanded with the moisture, hav _en dry in the fall. Tlv speaker on to say that n delightful feat _' moss study is that they may be ten home and examined at one's leis ure. Other specimens sometimes spoil before they can be looked over, but a moss may be put away and who* ready far examination all that is necessary is to puf It In warm water. Speaking of the economic* value of mosses Miss Cherrington said that it was c hiotlv as a soil producer. At the close of the glacial period on*>-tonth of Few England was covered with small ponds and lakes. Where the waves were not large enough to break up the spores, which grew almost entirely unler moist renditions, they spread about and the decaying portions dropped clown. Other seeds lodged in this mass and shrubs and trees took root, and these helped form soil As a result the ponds and bakes were tilled with peat. Titus one tenth of tit. land in New England fit for cultivation is due to mosses. Miss Clierrington c losed with t quotation in regard to moss-s and lichens from Rus kltt's "Modern Painters." Misf (driftin's talk was charming, and at the close of the meeting both young ladies were congratulated. Doherty Declines. Spring field. Mass*..

A DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERYATWINSLOW. John Cuilahan Seized From Be= hind and Money Taken From His Pockets by Force. TWO ARRESTS ARE SOON MADE. Orrel Reynolds and Joseph Jennison Are Held to Answer to the Alleged Charge of Highway Robbery. Watcrvllle, Me., Oct. G.—(Special).— A daylight robbery, perpetrated by two highwaymen, was reported to the po lice late this afternoon and within a very short time two men. suspected of being the guilty ones, 5> re in custody. The amount stolen happened to lie small, but the nerve displayed by the nu-n in securing it frtiiu their vbtim betokened desperate characters and the case witen reported to the police, caused no little consternation John Gullahan went to Winslow for a walk during the afternoon and before starting to return home stopped at a si ring for a drink of water. Before lie hail secured it he was seized from be hind and held in a viselike grip by one man. while another went through his pockets. 4 Callahan had t>ut in his pockets, and tills the thieves to"k. After they h id made a thorqjigh search of their victim's clothing they made their es cape and he wended bis way back to V.'mterviile. One of tHynira ho did not see very clearly, but the other lie was ably t,i give a good description. as he got a good view of the fellow just after lie hail been released from his lain Sl ip and as lie turned to get away Hi is the scene of his crime.

They stoutly maintained their innocence, but the officer persisted in taking them to tile station, where they are mm held to answer in the morning to a charge of highway robbery. After they hail been locked up it was learned that the men had been seen in Waterville before tin y wt nt to Winslow ami that they had been driven off the streets by nib -or Mill. tt. because of tinur suspicious actions.

BowMn Finis Threatened Fungus Attacks Trees lor Wiiicti the College Is Famed. Many Famous Men Have Drawn Inspiration There. Brunswick, Me., Oct. i>.—The Bow doin pines, famous thevworld ever, the characteristic landmark »r >ld Bow doin, are threatened iiVit'.i destruction. The pine blight or fiutgus Inis infested these well-known trees and li is done a large amount of damage. if the blight continuesharm tin* trees in all probability they will be sacrificed, much to tlie regret of every one of ,thr thousands of Bowdoin Alumni, un dergraduates and friends. The pine trees of Bowdoin have fur nished inspiration to many an author. Longfellow, Hawthorn.* ami other great writers, who spent their college days it Bowdoin, found much mob rial for their work beneath Bowil The Wliisp. ri::g Bines have played their part in tin literature ami their putt was a no. >i Bines. Bowdoin mu try’s a large lint til*' days hi Bowdoin I Itli-s may he limited. Tin' pine l«iiv; 111 or 1 1 has attacked the tries seriously anil they are far from tlu> strong, healthful trees, of a few years ago. Profi-s.-or Austin t’arey. professor of forestry at Harvard, and a woil-known Bowdoin Alumnus, said in it recent interview, "If 1 was certain that the decay of the Bowdoin Pines was caused l>y the fun gus I would have every one of the dis eased trees cut at once.” While this would not ciuse all of the trees to he cut it would practically destroy them. Their famous beauty would be gone and there would be nothing but a mere skeleton left. At the present time there is a great diflrerer.ee of opinion as to what is caus ing the decay in the trees. Some forest experts think that the trouble is due to the fungus, while others believe it is brought on by the unusual weather con ditions of the past few years. Time only v.ill tell which of those two opinions is correct, anil meanwhile little can be done towards preserving the trees. To remove the pine trees from tho Bowdoin grounds would he to take away a large part of that beauty which is such a source of pride to every Bowdoin man There are many other trees on the cam pus besides the pines, but it is for pine trees tiiat Bowdoin is famed and it is of pine trees that Howdoin lias tho largest supply. The Powdoin pines, in a healthy condi tion, are as fine as any pine trees in the State. There are several acres covered with a heavy growth of pine which is al lowed to grow ami grow. Forestry ex perts look after tin* trees carefully and do all in their power to have then grow to the lest advantage. Tin* tieos, ninny of them, are a foot or more in diameter and will lire between 4a and r,a f««» t into the air v.ithout a brand; of arv size. Many will go even larger. Tin re are also a number of small trees, set out within a few years, which are growing rapidly. The pur; of these young trees is to l av** reolaoe tlie larger ones when it becomes m» cssary t*> ivmovo them. In this way tho Powdoin piles would lad for gnu-rations and generations and «'V« r l»e a source of pride to alumnus and nndergiaduate. Hut the pine blight may spoil ali. It is safe t sav that were the Pow doin pines owned by private individuals they would have long ago fallen beneath the woodman’s axe. Finer pine lumber it is hard to find, and pine 1imb* r is an arti* lo of no small value in these da vs. Alumni and und. rgraduufes all join in I hoping the di-« as which at present bar.! such a strong hold on tla-se trees may soon l»e overcome and the pines restored i to their former condition. i CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

Made Among the Smaller Opera* tors and Make Little Impres sion In General Market. THE MONEY MARKET TIGHTER In Response to Demand For Cash Inci= dental to the Season=Time Rates Go Up and Greater Caution Is Used. Xew York, Oct. 0.—Last week’s stock market save evidence of the continued disinclination to embark upon that me dium and of the desire to take stock of conditions and to see more definitely tiie .shaping of financial and industrial events. The neglected condition of the market opened the way for some at taek by the bear element amongst the smaller class of professional operators, but these operations induced little li quidation, and an occasion turnup on tlu-ia ♦served to administer reverses in individual stocks in which their ven tures 1 ictii been overbold. These profes sional maneuvers made up the hulk of the market and were of small signifi cance beyond the negative inference suggested of the small impression made on sentiment by developments of an unfavoral h> eliara.etcr or the unwilling ness to lie- moved by more favorable I ipenings to enter upon commitments on the long side. An important and impressive influence was the condition of the money market which tighten 'd under tlm seasonable requirements made upon it. The Octo ber sctlh r.icnts tail' d for a large amount, the n.tai dividend and interest payable for tin- erio i being estimated at a- high as $1(10.0'A.Pan. Time money rates were marked tip and inspired a feeling of tin necessity of caution in conserving resources for ti).' further needs' of the crop moving, which now holds the interior movement of currency in full'tide. Opinions are vague and confused as to the extent to which the business reac tions already run and even more so as to t>’e additional recession which must be faced. flank clearings outside of New York Ciiy itself show a rate of business activ ity well sustained above that of last year. The railroad traffic officials report their facilities fully employed with a large merchandise movement and heavy 'grain receipts and their mercantile agencies have advices of heavy fall buying. The corn crop is regarded as made, with as surance of a large surplus over domes tic requirements, and the government re port on condition of cotton gives satisfac tory promise for its total yield, barring the possible reduction by frost damage to come. It is recognized that the forces are thus at work towards the recupera tion which is necessary to take up the course of progress where it was halted by the excessive demands upon resources. The wisdom of i period of quiescence in s; eculatinn and in new ventures white this process of recuperation is working cut is enjoined by financial advisers of authority and explains the motive of the small active interest manifested at pres ent in the market for securities.

Women troubled with fainting spells, irregularities, nervous irrita bility, backache, the “blues,” and those dreadful dragging sensations, cannot hope to be happy or popular, and advancement in either home, business or social life is impossible. The cause of these troubles, how ever, yields quickly to Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs. It acts at once upon the organ afflicted and the nerve centers, dispelling effec tually all those distressing symp toms. No other medicine in the country has received such unqualified indorsement or has such a record of cures of female ill* as has Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Miss Emma Runtzler, of C31 State St., Schenectady, N. Y., writes:— “For a lcui* time I was troubled with a weakness which seemed to drain all my strength away. I had dull headaches, was nervous, irritable, and all worn out. Chancing to read one of your advertisements of a case similar to mine cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I decided to try it and I cannot express my gratitude for the benefit received. I am entirely well and feel like a new person.” Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is the most successful remedy for all forms of Female Complaints, Weak Back, Falling and Displacements, Inflammation and Ulceration, and la invaluable in pre paring for childbirth and the Change of Life.
