THE LOWERING CASE.
What Mr. symes of the Standing Commit
tee Says.

Referring to the resignation of Rev. j..
F. Lowering, pastor of Broadway Con-
gregational church, Somerville, Mass.
Mr.. Symes,, member of the standing
committee, says:
AS matter of fact Mr.. Lowering has
not resigned. He was not regularly as
signed to the pastorate, and the years
service for which he was hired expires
July l. About month ago he read a
letter. saying that on no account would
he consider any offer for another years
engagement, and consequently we made
none. He is to start on his vacation,
which begins shortly, and will probably
60 to Nantucket"
When asked regarding the charges he
said:
but understand that Mr.. Lowering was
questioned. am informed that there
was rumor circulated about Mr.. Low
ering to the effect that he gave indica-
tions Of having imbibed liquor, and that
they were noted at ceremony in the
church. AS he was chairman of the
standing committee, he attended that
night, and was not called there to an
swer any charges. am informed that
members of the committee asked him
regarding the stories and he explained
by stating that he was sick and took
whiskeyssas medicine and not as bev-
erage. His wife was away at the time
and he could not find the Jamaica gin
ger, and he was forced to take a small
quantity of whiskey. So far as ! know
the explanation was satisfactory, and
under the circumstances there was
nothing to take action about.

MOST SERYICEABLE COLOR.
FASHION AND ECONOMY Roth AP-
PROVE BLACK CLOTHING.

An Easy Way of neutrality-suspicious.
Wool. SILK. and Feathers Readily Color
ed a Handsome BIaok--Uss Only Dla-
&mond Dyes-Absoiutely Fast BLACK.
1t is only within the last few years that it
mas been possible for an inexperienced per-
son to dye a black that would not crock ,
Iade, or wash out. Even miil-dyed black
goods were rarely ever absolutely fast.
The advent of three diamond dye fast
blacks.-for wool. Tor cotton, and for silk
and feathers,-has changed all this. Now,
with q ten centspaokage of one of these dyes
the nrst trial gives perfect success. The di-
rections on the packages are so plain and
simple that a child can. get better results
han an experienced dyer could a few years
ago..
TIE enormous quantity of these fast black
diamond dyes sold every year shows
now popular they are and what
perfect abstraction they give. Some
OF the larger wholesale drug
gists order 5000 packages at one time,
and even then they soon nave TO order
fresh supplies.
me prevailing fashion for black stock
1ngs, feathers, gowns, and cloaks, is un-
doubtedly responsible for some of this large
sale, but the fact that anything can be COL
ored with diamond dyes a black that will
no crock or fade, explains their almost un
iyersal use.
Inc economy of these dyes is shown by
the TACT that q package of the fast stocking
oiack for cotton will dye five pairs of cot
ton stockings a rich black; a package of the
fast black for silk and feathers will dye ten
feathers a glossy color; and a package of
the fast black for wool will dye from one to
two pounds of wooden goods.
The peculiar way in which the diamond
dye fast blacks are made, gives them a great
superiority over all other methods of home
dyefng.
There are some forty other co1ors of dia-
mond dyes, each Of which is thoroughly re-
liable, and as superior to limitations as
sunlight is to moonlight.
