THE DIOCESAN CONVENTION.
Missionary Work Accomplished
During the Past Year.

The I'D annual convention Of the Episcopal
Diocese Of Maine now being held In this city
at st. Luke's Cathedral was opened last
night by the meeting of the Missionary
Society OF the Diocese. Rt. Rev. Henry A.
Nicely. DID,, bishop Of the diocese, conduct
ed the services. In the chancel were seen
the rectors of many of the most prominent
parishes in the state.
At the close Of the opening services the
Bishop spoke of the Importance of the Mis-.
sionary Society, urging that all possible
should be done to spread the teachings of
the gospel. He said that the mention of the
meeting Oh the Missionary Society should
stir all hearts and make the better feelings
OF all predominant prompting them to do all
they can to help the cause. The Bishop
then introduced Rev. Chas. l.. Short. rector
of st. Andrews church, Newcastle.
Rev. Mr.. Short said that foreign missions
should be a subject of great interest to all.
he compared the gospel to the power of the
human body. which to be developed has to
be exercised. So it is with the gospel which
Is to be exercised and its power brought
forth. Many parishes do not give what they
should to missionary work, claiming that
they cannot on account of the financial con-
ditlon OF the parish. but he also said that
ne never heard Of parish. in which the Civ
Ing TO missions financially ruined parish.
Inc Rev. Mr.. Short was followed by Rev.
j. w. Sparks, missionary at st. Mary's.
Waterville. He said that missionary work
was doing the will of God. Christ told ms
BE was to do the will of his Father in
lnQVan and wa ba
we should do the same, and spread tho gospel
among all people. He spoke more respecting
missionary work at home than abroad, and
cited Somerset county in this state as good
field, there being 10000 people, mostly in the
southern part, and not an Episcopal church
In the county. He said much good could be
done among the large number of iumbermen
and river drivers who were In the county
during the winter and spring.
The report of the treasurer OF the diocese,
Rev. Chas. t. Ogden, honorary canon and
travelling missionary, was then submitted.

The prospects OF fair mackerel catch
continue to brighten, and a revival of the
fish trade in the near future is almost an
assured fact Menhaden steamers report
mackerel quite plentiful outside of Block
Island and Long Island. and weirs around
Vineyard Haven and North Truro are catch
ing small quantities every day. Schools are
evidently working east and may soon be in
our waters. The catch off Yarmouth. N. s..
continues large and about 1000 barrels fresh
have been received in Boston during the
week. American seiners are reported at
Canso, N. s., with few barrels, and as the

John TwombIy Killed In Ricker's
Tannery.

John Twombly yesterday morning at
Ricker's Tannery. at the foot Of Green
street, went to the grindstone for the pur-
pose Of grinding sickle. No one was
in the room at the time. 1t is probable
that he went to put on the belt and caught
his coat in the revolving shaft. The gar
ment wound round the shaft. breaking his
arm and bringing his neck forcibly against
the iron, breaking his jaw and inflicting a
fatal wound in his temple. He must have
died almost instantly.
Mr.. Twombly was an old gentleman, about
70 years of age. He lived on Elm street
and had wife and two grown up
daughters. Coroner Tobin was called but no
inquest was found to be necessary.

TNVERY WOMAN
IL knows the sort of
Kid Gloves we
sell and know that every
pair sold at the counter is
fitted.
Sometimes a mistake is
made in the size; the hand
is too small, or the Glove
too elastic, sometimes
they're numbered wrong,
so now and then a "tried-
on" pair is discarded as a
misit. All these misfts go
into a box by themselves
till there's sufficient accum-
ulation to make a "sale,"
then they're sold at a small
fraction of their real value,
and of course every pair is
a bargain.
This morning we'll put
out a lot of these fitted
Gloves at soc; they're all
colors and all sizes except
6 Ia and 6 I-2-mostly
button wrist, a few lace
wrist and two or three
pairs of mousquitaire. The
original prices were from
$I.Oo to $500, and they're
quite as good as ever for
actual use.

several dozens of four but

From the European Mail, April 49,

After a life Of restless energy and lncessant
publicity, Barnum, the great American show
man died at his home in Connecticut on April
z. at the ripe age Of eighty. Born III Bethel,
Connecticut in 1910. he be- an q mercantile
career at thirteen years Of age, though by all
accounts his propensity for moncy-mating had
disnIayed itself much earlier. At the time he
was fifteen his father died, and his mother and
five children--of whom be was the eldest
were left entirely destitute. Tn shoes in
which the future famous Snowman went to his
fathers funeral were obtained on credit, and
thus, as he has himself expressed it, he began
the world with nothing, and was barefoot at
that" Young Barnum, however, soon got a
situation, but speedily found out that he was
one of those people who cannot be satisfied to
labour for a fixed salary, whatever it may be.
He was. from the first, of a scheming, specu-
lative turn, and. as the situation he obtained
in Brookland offered no scope for speculation,
or for the restless energy of his nature, he left
it and opened a porter house" on his w
account. Within a few months he sold his
business to advantage, and engaged as clerk in
another establishment Of a similar kind. AL
though constantly engaged in selling liquor. he
has explained his habits were not bad, and
probably he had never drank a pint Of liquor,
wine. or cordials till he was p years Of age.
He always attended church regularly, and he
saws he was never without his Bible IN his
trunk, and took frequent occasion to read l..
A religious streak in his composition, to pat 1t
as his countrymen would do, is a very notice
able characteristic, and Mr.. Barnum appears
to have made his church-going conduce to
his success, as he endeavoured to do every
thing else.
