WHITENING SHEEP.

The question that every fockDaaster
should ask himself at this season is
whether all his sheep will pay for win
tering. IF not, little grain while there
is fresh grass for the sheep 70 eat will
help it for the butcher; but If extra
feeding is postponed until only dry hay
can be given, the sheep becomes costive
and soon is worth nothing except for its
pelt, and that not very good.-BostoH
Cultirdtor.

5000 to refund amount Of interest; $4,000

for urgent current expenses, large

to nominal protest.
In addition to these the controller
holds in his desk several thousand dol

has not handed out because the county

filled with large congregation At p.
m the procession of clergy, followed by
the bishop, entered the church and pro-
ceeded to the chancel Every prayer was

the Rev p. b. Lightner Of New Castle, and
the Rev. M. L. Woolsey of Seaford, and
Alfred Lee, Esq, son of the late bishop Of
Delaware. Mr.. Lghtner spoke on the
subject of Money given to Missions and
the great necessity for more personal con
secration of our means to the work Of the
Master
The Rev. Mr.. Woolsey gave descriptive
account of the two-year-old mission at
Bridgeville, where the cornerstone of the
new. brick chapel of St. Mary's was laid by
the bishop last week, adding plea for
pecuniary assistance from churchlnen of
the diocese and elsewhere.
Mr.. Lee presented the plea thetthe work
of reclamation and elevation Of themasses
must be largely done by the laity.
The bishop closed with few remarks
on the encouraging outlook of the mission
work of the diocese throughout the whole
State, adding prophecy that the consum-
nation was not yet. The offerings taken
were for the missions Of the diocese.
At the close of the service the standing

day, but he was unable to stand the jour
ney. He is at Young's Hotel with his
family When he will be able to resume
his journey no one knows.
There may be sicker men in Boston
than Secretary Blaine, but certainly none
who saw him would believe that he was
in a fit condition to be anywhere but in
bed, and that nothing but most urgent
necessity would ever induce slxillful doc
tor, such as Mr.. Blaine's family physician
undoubtedly is, to allow such patient to
make so long, and under the best of
conditions so tiresome journey as is in
volved in trip to Bar Harbor
URGENT NECESSITY FOR THE TRIP.
That the urgent necessity for this trans
fer to the seaside does exist is evident and
the Journey is being accomplished in as
quiet and restful manner as possible,
with the fullest corporation of the rail-
road officials and others. The car was
darkened during the whole of the eventful
journey, the curtains being tightly drawn,
with the double purpose of enabling the
statesman within sleep quietly, if possible
in the berth which was made up before
leaving, and was occupied by him en- route
to Boston, and with the further purpose
of indicating to outsiders that the car was
unoccupied.
Indeed, upon the trip none but the party
were admitted. Refreshments were par
taken of by Mr. Blaine during the tourney,
served by the attendant from the private
buffet, but only of the lightest description
and very sparingly.

EAsroS DIoCEsE1N CONTENTION
In Annual Session at Salisbury Bishop
Adams Message.

SALISBURY, Nd, June 2.-The 23d
annual convention of the diocese of
Easton, Protestant Episcopal church,
began its three days session in ST
Peters Church, Salisbury, this morn
| ing. The convention sermon was
preached by the Rev. ]. w. Chesley of
st. Michael's parish. Bishop Adams
called the convention to order. and an
organization was effected. The Rev. j.
A. Mitchell was elected secretary,
Bishop Adams appointed w. r. Walker
assistant secretary. The committee on
credentials, after retiring and examin-
ing credentials, reported all the clerical
and lay delegates admissible to seats in
the convention.
Gen. Joseph b. Seth moved that the
treasurer OF the diocesan mission fund
bealloweda salary Of $50 per year. The
motion was not received with universal
favor by the convention and much discus
sion was called out. The matter was
finally submitted 10 a committee, consist
ing of the Revs. Mr. SHREDDER and Buck
and Gen. Joseph B. Seth.
The evening session was occupied
chiefly by Bishop Adams, who read his
annual message, in which he reviewed
the condition Of the diocese and made
many suggestions to the clergy. After
the reading of the address the bishop ap-
pointed the deans of the district, and
the convention then adjourned till Wed
nesday. The standing committee will
make its report Wednesday, The action
the body will take relative to the conse-
Grafton of DR. Phillips Brooks as bishop
OF Massachusetts, is problematical.
Nothing like an expression of opinion
can be gotten from the gentlemen com
posing the committee, and in fact the
whole convention to a man is silent on
the subject. Much interest is felt by
the people and the delegates relative to
the action Of the committee.

BRADFORD ON COUNTY COLLECTORS.

His Opinion Concerning the Tax Gath
~rers' Duties Under the New Five Com
rnissiOners Law--They Can't Collect Any
More.
Levy court did not meet until II o'clock
Thursday morning. The members expected
each moment to see Attorney Bradford ap.
pear but there was disappointment, and
the much.desired opinion on the collector
question did not materialize.
Mr.. Clarke handed in the monthly paw
roll of the trustees of the poor, $35035
Controller Staats arose and objected TO
the passage OF the account quoting section
IL of the Five Commissioners bill-"all
orders for the use Of the trustees Of the
poor shall be drawn by their chairman
and conntersigned by the controller
Controller Stats asked that the bill be not
passed until Mr.. Bradford be heard from.
Mr.. Jolls arose and stated that he under
stood County Treasurer Dickey to contend
that the chairman of the levy court and
the controller should sign all trustees Of
the poor orders, quoting for his authority
another paragraph from section II of the
new bill, commencing "No money shall
be paid ont of the treasury for county pur-
poses except on warrants drawn by order
OF the levy court commissioners, signed
by the president of the levy court and
countersigned by the comptroller" &c.
Mr.. Jolls commented as follows on Mr.
Dickey's idea-there is distinction here,
the poor trustee business is not in fiscal
sense county business aud the payments
not for county purposes, This is shown
IN the distinct tax rating IS cents
for county and 10 cents for poor rate.
Therefore Mr., Jolls favored the idea Of
requiring the signature of Chairman Now
land of the poor trustees OH all such war
rants before being passed for payment by
the levy court or being countersigned by
the controller.
The order was therefore held over for
Attorney Bradford's opinion.
IT is understood that the outstanding
credits Of the levy court approximate about
SBl 600, These are derivable from the fol
lowing items due the county upon which

Death of Mrs. ]. w. Harris.

Died at Ortonville, Minn., Friday,
August 2lst, 1891, Laura. wife OF DE-
]. w. Harris of this city, aged y
years Never since our residence
in Morris have we been called upon TO
record the death of any one whom we
more sincerely regrted than the death
of Mrs. Harris. She was highly re-
spected by all who knew her and dear
ly beloved by her intimate friends.
The maiden name of Mrs. Harris
was Laura Shumaker. Her parents
resided ut Ortenvillc, ami Mrs. Harris
had an abiding faith during her sick
ness that if she could be removed to
her home in that village she would
recover her health, consequently
about six weeks since she was re-
moved there, where she died.
Mrs. Harris had been confined to her
bed since last January, never having
fully recovered from the grip with
which she was afflicted II year or more
since.
She leaves husband and two little
boys to mourn her loss. Most surely
her afflicted and mourning husband
has the sincere sympathy of all our
people. The editor of the TRIBUNE
and family especially extend their
earnest ANA heartfelt sympathy.

Presidential Conventions.

\ presidential nominating conEen-
tiOn, be it of what party, is always a
great event for the city where it is
held. The number of delegates is
not so very large, rarely exceeding
four or five hundred persons, but the
army of hangers.on and would-be po-
litical bosses often mounts up to
10000 or $4,000 people. For the Re-
publican convention of 1892 Chicago
is understood to be q candidate, while
Minneapolis is half mind to make an
effort to secure it. This reminds us
Of when the Republican convention
of 1888 was held at Chicago, "The
Burlington carried, in three days,
over 1000 Northwestern people to the
city by the lake. In fact, as a route
to Presidential conventions, let them
be held wherever they may, ''The
Burlington is always at the front,
reaching more prominent Western
cities than any other line.

Deafness Can't Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chian Tube, When this tube gets infla-
med you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrhl
that we cannot cure by taking Halls
