CONFIRMATION OF DIR. BROOKS
A Majority of the Bishops Vote in
His Favor.

A majority of the bishops of the Protest
ant Episcopal church have voted In favor OF
the confirmation of Rev. Phillips Brooks as
bishop of the diocese of Massachusetts,. The
members of the house of bishops sent their
notices of approval to Portland. to Bisnop
Nelly, of the diocese of Maine. who is chai-
man of the house of bishops. No Dishop
living outside the United States cast paiiot
on this occasion, and no bishop was under
obligation to vote. If he preserved silence
he was recorded as voting in the negative.
Thirty-fye of the 81 bishops voted for DIR.
Brooks confirmation.
DIR. Brooks was elected bishop on April 30.
IL took over month to get the approval of a
majority of the standing committees of the
different dioceses, and then the question
went to the bishops. Thirty-seven standing
committees out of the ffty-two dioceses of
the Protestant Episcopal church In the Uni
ted States assented to the confirmation of
DR.. Brooks as bishop.
When Bishop Williams, the presiding bishop
OF the church, receives word from the do
cese Of Massachusetts that preparations
have been made for the conservation of DR..
Brooks as bishop, he will appoint three bish-
ops to officiate at the ceremony,

Teaching paaf Mutes

At the session of the American Associa-
ton to promote the teaching of speech to the
deaf, held at Lake George Wednesday after
noon, the meeting opened with addresses by
Superintendent Williams of the Hartford
school and DIR. Gillett of Jacksonville. Ill.
Miss Barton, principal of the Portland
school, present pupil named Joseph King.
His case is, in some respects, as wonderful
as that Of Helen Kellar. BE was brought to
the notice of Miss Barton three years ago,
at which time he was entirely without in
struction and was Ignorant of all means of
communication, except by means lof natural
signs. He was then seventeen years of age.
OF his former history nothing is known be-
yond the fact that he had for some years
been thrown upon his own resources. Liv-
ing by his wits his perceptions had become
quickened. and the demonstration proved

Boston q Maine new stock Is generally be-
ing subscribed for. None Of. the directors of
the road have sold rights, and the American
Loan & Trust Company report that much of
the new stock is being paid for in full. Brok-
ers have general sold by the stock, buying
rights, and at Saturdays closing of the stock
and rights they figure profit Of from So to
$3.50. AS Maine stock is gradually taken
from the market its price will advance. The
recent decline never would have occurred
but for the placing OF the new stock at a
time when it was physical impossibility for
the market to absorb it. The same result
has been shown in the new issue of West
End Street Railway common shares. The
Boston market has been ina condition where
gold dollars would have been passed by at
90 cents each.
Careful investors have, in consequence, Sc
cured unlocked for bargains, but their pur-
chases were not sufficient to prevent sharp
decline. 1t is generally understood that
stock and rights have had little or no inside
support.
The market would seem to indicate such
belief.
The News Bureau says:
One of the Boston q Maine directors yes
terdoy became rather tired of the nOnchal
ance with which the bears offered Boston &
Maine stock, and when it was 157 gave an Or
der to buy 500 shares at 100. 1t developed
the fact that the stock was not there and the
price advanced Immediately to 1921. This is
the first appearance of supporting order
that has been given in either Boston &
Maine stock or rights.
The Beacon says:
AS to the ability of the Boston & Maine to
pay the present dividend upon the new
stock there can be little doubt. The only
thing to be considered is the character of the
management. Is 1t conservative? Judging
from the way the road has been operated
lately, the answer is in the affirmative. Mr..
Frank Jones's holding Of the stock is very
large. and his pride IN tne T Ta is Is great vor
close analogy between himself and the Van
derbilts as regards the ownership OF the
road.

from $500 to $500, which we shall be pleased
to show any one who wishes to investigate their
