CaIIaudet Association.

The New England Gallaudet Association
of Deaf Mutes will hold two days conven-
tion in Young Mems Christian Association
Hall, commencing today. A number of them,
about So arrived in the city Saturday. They
held prayer meeting in the vestry of the
First Baptist church yesterday afternoon
The convention today will be addressed by
Mayor Chapman and Others Mr.. w. K.
Chase of Winstead, Conn.,, will deliver a
eulogy on Thomas Brown.
A most interesting service was held at Will
liston church last night in the presence Of a
crowded audience. An address by j. w.
Packard of Salem, Mass, was read by the
pastor, Rev. L. Ell. Hallock, and was inter-
preted in sign language by G. w. jerks OF
Hartford, to large number of deaf mutes in
attendance. The address gave historic
sketch of what God and modern philanthro-
pists have done for this unfortunate class,
which now numbers in this country alone
35,0OO Institutions for their benefit have
been founded in all civilized countries, and
the children of silence" are now educated,
taught trades and useful employments, and
many have made no little proficiency in liter
allure and science. In no country has so
much been done for them as in America.
The writer earnestly advocated the use OF
"sign language" and happily illustrated its
power by relating in pantomime the story of
the 'Prodigal Son. the Offering Of Isaac
by Abraham" and finally by reverently re-
peating the Lords prayer with which the
unique service closed.

Among the many medicines which from

Among the many medicines which from
year to year have been put on the market, it
is we'll known fact that but few have stood
the test of time. Frequently are they her
aided with flattering promises; but discrim-
mating public soon learn their worthless
ness, and they disappear from public atten-
tion while valuable medicine, which has
real worth, will gradually gain the confidence
of the people, until no one will question its
merits. This has been strikingly Illustrated
in the history of Adamson's Cough Balsam,
manufactured by Messrs. f. W. Kinsman d
Co., 343 Fourth Ave-, n Y, which has for
many years been constantly and rapidly gain
ing the confidence of the public, until now it
stands without a rival, as one of the most re-
liable cough remedies to be had. 1t is now
recommended by physicians, because it cures
colds every time" Owing to its perfect har-
mony in combination, it is the very best mix
ture for the speedy cure an drelief of Group,
colds, throat or lung diseases" This valu-
able remedy was the result of close obserya-
ton and experience as a pharmacist. The
senior member of the firm Mr. F. w. Kins-
MANI commenced business thirty-six years
ago, and early in his business life became
convinced that there was need of a safe and
effectual cough remedy. For years he made
it special study to produce cough medl-
cine which would stand on its own merits
and that he could recommend with confidence.
This remedy he at last discovered, and after
retailing many thousand bottles over his own
counter with the most fattering RESULTS he
put it into the market under the name ofAdam-
sons Botanic Cough Balsam. 1t is prepared
from highly concentrated vegetable extracts,
banks, gums and roots of wonderful healing
properties. $50

two years. The landings at all ports this
week, according to the statement of the Bos-
ton Fish Bureau, foot up 1916 barrels against
3S,9O1 barrels for the corresponding week

cy compared with last year of 126,S27 barrels

of mackerel on our shore. Vessels with Is
to 25 barrels continue to arrive and then reft
for the North Bay, where most of the Amer
lean fleet are now cruising.

The game between the Portlands ana New
buryports Saturday afternoon was Wltnesseu
by about 1900 persons who watched the game
and the bulletin board on which The progress
of the games between the Hayerhlls anu
Lawrences was displayed, with about an eV-
en- interest, as both the Hayerhills and rort-
lands were playing for first place. Although
the day was cold, the game was played Win
few errors on either side. Madden for the
Portlands pitched an effective and errorless
game. Lovett, who pitched for the visitors
was not batted hard bat his wild pitches
were costly errors for his team.
The features of the game were the first
base playing of Shoeneck, who made several
fine one-handed catches of wildly thrown
balls. Wheelock, Kearns and Shoeneck
made double play in the third inning,
Wheelock stopping Laroque's grounder in
time to send the ball to second base, when
Kearns cut off Murphy and then sent the
ball along to Shoeneck in time to throw La
rogue out at first. Madden made couple OF
good stops and Shelter going to the bat
when the bases were full, made hit which
brought home the three Portland players

RAILWAY MATTERS.

THE LEASING OF THE BOSTON & LOWELL.
The Globe says: "The rumored leasing OF
the Boston & Lowell road by the Boston &
Maine has had no effect upon the subscrip-
tions for stock in the proposed new line be-
tween this city and Lawrence, despite the
fact that any such consolidation would
effectually ruin any hope of competing line
from this city. Nearly 100000 has already
been subscribed, and the projectors Of the
scheme are assured that nearly every dollar
of the 100000 needed will be pledged by
September list. The business men of the
city seem thoroughly aroused over what
theyeall the unjust discrimination exercised
by the Boston & Maine in the matter of
freight charges toward this city, and are de-
termined to establish rival line even if no
pecuniary profit results for years to come,
claiming that the. reduction on freight will
be profit enough"
