To Say Popular, Hardly Expresses II.

A wonderfully popular outdoor gath.
ering is the Ocean Park Assembly which
is held each year at that delightful re.
sort, Old Orchard. Much time and great
pains was taken in perfecting the ar.
rangements for this series of meetings,
and with the galaxy of prominent per.
sonages intending to anticipate, one
cannot but wonder at the widespread
popularity they have attained. There
are meetings of all kinds for young and
old, and included are Chautauqua Circles,
Musical gatherings, and in fact every
branch is thoroughly covered.
Then for those desiring relaxation from
the routine OF work there are the diverse
ments OF the beach, and those are many
and varied. The bathing beach is as fine
as any in that country; for boating or
fishing the advantages are too widely
known to need mention. Another source
through which recreation may be had
is in the new Pier which has just been
erected at great cost. 1t extends out
into the bay to length OF nearly two
thousand leet, and at the end is casino
and restaurant. There is in fact no end
to methods by which one may enjoy him
self at Old Orchard.
You can visit this famous resort under
the most favorable circumstances during
the period from July 70 to August 81,
when the Boston 6, Maine Railroad will
offer specially reduced rates to Old Or
chard from nearly every station on it's
line. Ask your ticket agents about the
the rates.

NEW ENGLAND CROPS.
Rainy Visitation Would BE Welcomed
by the Farming Population.


Boston, July 19.-Last weeks rains
were not very copious, yet they re-
freshed the earth in Rhode Island, Con-
necticut and eastern Massachusetts,
producing noticeable effect In the
fields. The absence of moisture is
felt elsewhere in New England, though
the crops have not begun to wilt so
as to cause alarm. Frost did consider
able damage in the north
Maine-Observer In the various
counties describe different conditions.
There Is perfect agreement as to
hay, Of which there is a large crop
everywhere. Grain in Androscoggin
Is rusting badly, while at Washington
and Penobscot the condition Is most
promising at present. Potatoes are
good in Washington and Aroostook in
Kennebec, Oxford, Somerset and Waldo,
on the othA hand drought and beetles
are affecting the plants materially. All
crops are growing wonderfully In Knox.
New Hampshre-Belknap potatoes
are poor because Of the drought, but
grain Is generally good. Drought Is
injuring Carroll crops generally. Rain
Is needed for Cheshire potatoes, corn
and pastures, and apples are falling.
Showers have improved Merrimac crops,
but apples will be short. In Rocking
ham hoed crops need RAIN pastures
still good haying soon finished. Corn,
potatoes and small fruit are suffering
in STAFFORD and Sullivan.
Vermont-Brom all counties come re-
ports of the desire for rain, the want
Of which is beginning to be felt, though
the crops are in fair condition. Po-
tatoes are rusting badly in some Sec
tions Of Addison, and corn Is below the
average. Dry weather is rolling corn
and damaging potatoes in Bennington.
In Grand Isle apples will be less than
half crop. An unusually large crop
of hay has been half secured in Rut-
land Windsor will have large crop
of fine quality hay.
Connecticut-Corn Is doing finely in
Fairfield and Toland and poorly in New
Haven Apples will not be abundant,
while the reverse condition Is true as to
the "apples of the EARTH Small fruits
and vegetables will be abundant in Fair
field. In New London second crop Of
clover is starting well.
achusetts-Franklin and Middle
sex report the only indications of
good yield of apples, and in all counties
potatoes are thriving and other crops
in a state to furnish little ground of
complaint save cranberries in Plymouth,
where the dry spell has been injurious.
Hay is as plentiful as in the adjoining
states. Hampden will have plenty Of
berries.
Rhode Island-Rain gave new vigor to
the crops, which are looking well
throughout the state. In Kent oats
are light and apples falling.

Washington, July 18.-The commits
sioner Of internal revenue has held that
receipts used as checks to draw money
from banks are subject to the stamp
tax. 1t Is said that several banks, in
order to avoid the stamp tax, are ac-
ceptng receipts for cash, which, accord
ing to the letter of the law, are exempt.
The commissioner, however, has de-
cided that under the circumstances re-
ceipts to all intents and purposes are
checks, and therefore must be stamped.
In estimating the amount of special
tax required to be paid by bank, based
az the law requires upon capital and
surplus, the amount invested in United
States bonds is not to be deducted 1t is
held that there Is no provision Of law
which warrants such deduction mas
much as thefax is not upon the bonds,
but upon the business Of banking; the
capital and surplus, which may include
bonds, are taken as a basis for fixing
the amount of the tax.

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed condi-
ton OF the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
f'mation 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 inhamed condition OF the
