MAcKEREL.
What Captain Joyce, of the Novelty.
Thinks.

The outlook for mackerel is not as iavor-
able as a week ago. The North Bay vessels
are coming home with discouraged crews
and the shore fleet find very few schools
along this coast that can be caught with
seines. Hooking has been resorted to, but
the fish do not bite eagerly, and large por-
ton of those recently brought in were taken
by trailing. Captain Joyce, OF the steamer
Novelty, says his vessel has run largely be-
hind this season, and parties who have rea-
son to know believe that the steamer is some
$4,000 in debt She was fitted out as an ex-
pertinent about two years ago, and did fairly
last year, but the enterprise has not paid and
may have to be given up. Captain Joyce
thinks that the large mackerel schools have
been broken up, and that little will be done
by SEEMING for year OF two. Vessels that
may continue in the business will have to 90
back to the hook and line and carry plenty
of bait. Other people think differently,
however, and have hopes that there will be
some good seine fishing before the season
closes. Landings by the New England fleet
for the week foot up 2,6l5 barrels. against
1856 barrels the previous week, and ais bar
rels for the corresponding week last year.
Total catch to date is 1884 barrels, against
81 ,059 barrels in 1887, 37,127 barrels in 1886,
and Dos, $50 barrels in 1885. The storm early
in the week was very severe on this coast,
and fishing vessels suffered considerable
damage

raised on Congress street above Washington,
and John A. MCGOWAN acted as chairman.
Mr.. Clifford was introduced and made
speech, He spoke of what blessing it is
to have an honest president and eulogized
Cleveland as the friend of our government
and Of the people of the United States Of
America, and closed in predicting death to
the Republican party this fall. The process
sion then marched to Washington street and
halted in front of Major Murphy's house
where more speaking occurred. here the
Cleveland Glee Club sang little, and then
another flag was raised to the tune of Hail
COLUMBIA" Mr.. Joseph A. MCGOWAN. the
presiding officer, made short speech and
introduced M. P. Frank, Esq, who said he
believed in the dignity of labor, and ridiculed
the idea of protection from the pauper labor
of Europe. The gentleman ended his re-
marks by an appeal to the people to vote for
Cleveland and Thurman. Then the process
sion marched to Portland street and ran out
another flag at the corner of Green and Port
land streets. p. j. Larrabee presided at
meeting held here and COL A. w. Bradbury
was the first speaker. His address was a
eulogy of Cleveland. When Mr.. Bradbury
had finished speaking, those who didn't get
tired of hearing Mr.. Clifford speak the first
time they heard him, signifed their desire to
hear him again. Mr.. Clifford yielded with
out much persuasion and made few COM
mon-place remarks, after which the jaded
clubs headed for headquarters and broke
ranks as soon as possible.

Sunday at the Ottawa.

Rev. DR.. Mckenzie preached at the Ottawa
House on Sunday to large congregation.
He spoke without notes, his text being from
st. Paul to the Corinthians, "Am not free"
He said that St. Paul refused to eat meat
that had been offered to idols, to marry. and
to receive money from the church, not be-
cause he held these things to be wrong, but
because they would interfere with the aim Of
his life-the converting of the people to
Christ He chose to give up lesser for a
greater good. 1t is not the wrong, things that
tempt us most, it is the things harmless In
themselves that keep us from doing some
thing better. Don't be content that you do
no positive wrong. Sacrifice the good things
in your life, if necessary, for the best, We
are free, apart from metaphysical subtilty,
we know we can do as we please, within GER
tain limits. We can choose. and there our
liberty stops. We have no power to get good
result from bad action. Not our prayers or
our tears will alter Gods laws. II we SOW
tares we must reap them.
Independence to the laws of nature is sui
eide, only fool opposes them. The wise
man knows that only suffering comes from
breaking moral or physical laws. There is
only one aim in life that can really satisfy
any man, that is long enough to last all this
life and the next, that is broad enough to in
clude all his faculties and deep enough to
reach down to the principle of his being. 1t
is to do the will of God. Aim for nothing

A WARNING.

The modes of deaths approach are various, and
statistics show conelusvely that more persons die
from diseases of the Throat and Lungs than any
other. 1t is probable that everyone, without ex-
ception, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs
into the system, and where these germs fall upon
suitable soil they start into life and develop, at
first slowly, and is shown by slight tickling SEN
sation In the throat and If allowed to continue
their ravages they extend to the lungs, producing
Consumption, and to the head, causing Catarrh.
Now all this is dangerous, and if allowed to pro-
eeed will, in time, cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing cold to go
without attention is dangerous, and may lose you
your life. As soon as you feel that something's
wrong with your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, OBJ
tain bottle of Boschee's German Syrup. 1t will
give you immediate relief. nov8-d1y-cT

If II is bright n,easant and snnsn,nv toda,

If 1t is bright, pleasant and sunshiny today
syou won't be interested in reading an adver-
tisement about Rubber Goods. III IL should
happen to rain, however, you're likely to
give the subject more attention and maybe
come down on purpose to buy a Gossamer.
We suggest that you come and have a look
at the new things in this line we are show
ing, whatever the weather is. If you don't
need rainy-day garment now, you will later
and It's well enough to know what there is
new to be had and where the best ass ortment
Is.
One day last week we received direct from
the makers a line of silk and worsted
Raglans, beautifully made and stylishly cut,
the material finer and softer than any we
have ever had before, and so delicately coat
ed with rubber that you wouldn't know it
had rubber about it if you didn't look inside,
and yet they are absolutely waterproof
These garments are not only perfect pro-
lection against rain. but are so light that
they can be used as busters for travelling
With the hood removed they have the ap-
pearance Of elegant travelling wraps. They
are quite as good as the imported Mackin-
tosh's and cost about half as much.
