Boston, October The leaders had an.

Champions won through timely batting,
although an error by MoJames in the
eighth was responsible for the three runs
which decided the game. For seven in
Mugs 1t was pitchers battle and during
this time McJames was clearly better
than Nichols. The visitors, especially
jennings and McGraw, also played a
snappy game both in the field and at the
bat, the former by his hits being respon-
sible for the two runs 1t was In the
eighth, however, that MoJames weakened.
With two on bases and two out he ran to
cover first and completely missed a
thrown ball, allowing Tenney to score the
tieing run. This seemed to rattle him for
he let in another run on wild pitch and
then two more hits gave the Bostons
comfortable lead. Darkness put an end

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

The report of Rev. E. C. Whittemore.
secretary of the executive COMMITTEES, de-
tailed at length the efforts made to keep
the expenditures within the receipts.
Overdue interest not paid and unpaid
pledges made the debt of last year carried
over $647.13. The application of the
Biddeford church year ago for aid was
granted but the state of che treasury has
been such that all other applications have
been denied. AT the November meeting
1t was voted that the expenses of the year
must be reduced at least % per cent. At
q later meeting, in view Of the stringency
in funds, Secretary Dunn read a COM
munication to the committee voluntarily
reIinquishing $3.50 of his salary for the
year. The committee expressed its appre.
citation of this action and accepted the
offer. Other officers of the convention
voluntarily reduced their salaries. Mis-
sionary Young, with characteristic gener-
osity and self sacrifice, insisted on a
second reduction later in the year. Great
changes had taken place in the missionary
force. Missionary Harden, after his
manifold and fruitful labors entered into
his rest. Missionary Rice, after long and
valuable service, resigned his position.
Evangelist Hatch on account of i'll health,
was obliged to give up the gospel labor In
which he and Mrs. Hatch SO delighted.
This left only Missionaries Young and
Hunt in the service, saving in expense
If ia true, but SAD loss in efficiency and
health of service. TIL committee are of
the opinton that whatever retrenchment
may be necessary the missionary force
should not be reduced.
The board adopted recommendation
of the finance COMMITTEES that the special
trust fund, the special fund and general
fund shall be SO kept that each shall show
its own invested property. and its own
separate income and that each shall bear
its own losses.
The total indetedpess is now 1880.
The committee do not believe that the re-
duction of aid given to the churches can
be further relied upon as a matter of re.
lief. 1t is hoped that what has been done
may urge the necessity of self support
but Hthe method must notabe applied too
vigorously. Starvation as stimulus to
energy has its limitations.
In conclusion the committee says:
"Thus has the committee endeavored to
carry out the policy of the board in keep
ing it's expenditures within it's receipts.
1t has cut down its appropriations to the
lowest point which seemed compatible
with any success in the work which the
convention exists to perform. The result
is before Fyou. The committee believes
that the situation merits and demands
most thorough, business like and prayer
full consideration of this board, and con-
vention as whole. 1t cannot be that the
convention will be satisfied either with
ever increasing deficits or a narrowing
and inadequate work"

aries paid tribute to the worth and ser.
vices of the following Baptist clergymen.

At no time is woman more liable to
physical and mental dangers with hours
of suffering than at the "Turn of Life. :"
The great want in woman's system is
ability to properly adjustitself to the new
conditions. The outlet, monthly, of blood
is now being diminished and carried into
the body for the supply food Of its later
years.
Daughters, you can now to some extent
repay your mothers early care. She must
be spared every possible exertion. You
must help her bear her burdens and ankle
ties. This critical time safely over, she will
return to renewed health and happiness.
That SO many women fail to anticipate
-. this change thus happily, is owing not
: merely to lack of care, but to igno-
~ rance. There is, however, no excuse
for ignorance when experienced ad-
= vice can be yours free OF all cost.

KEY WEST, June 10 IA prominent
resident OF Havana, who left that place
on the 18th Instant, arrived here yester-
day on his way to New York.
His description OF the situation at the
time he left contradlcts widespread re-
ports OF famine and suffering in that
city, and throws q new light on lac ef-
fectiveness OF the blockade, which, It
appears, fails In its purpose, as far as
cutting off all means of supplies and
communication with the outside world Is
concerned.
His story Is entitled TO full credence
| and consideration, coming, as II does,
| from one OF the leading residents us Ha-
vsna. q former resident. unbiased in his
Views or sympathies. He reports. In the
| first place. that Havana Is practically
an open port, as 1t Is not blockaded on
its southern approach. Batabno, on the
south side, is only forty miles from Ha-
vana, with which city II Is connected by
| rail. Batabno has never been more Than
a shipping station and headquarters for
the sponge fisheries Of southern Cuba,
and q landing place for the Isle of
! Pines ferry boats, which were thers TO
connect with the north bound trains for
Havana. stse7- $500 a -.
The water between Batabno and the
Isle OF Pines being very shallow. no.
where exceeding nine feet, and there
fore inaccessible to very, large craft, has
caused the Isle OF Pines to be overlooked
as possible ertrepot or base OF sup
plies for western Cuba, and as n point
! deserving ofgreater attention than that

1t appears, however. that constan:
traffic has been kept UP between the Isle
OF Pines and the Yucatan coast, and
that full cargoes OF provisions and liv:
stock have been regularly landed there
ffrom steamers, schooners and other sail
ing vessels linnrolested by American
warships, which rarely, II ever, patrol
those waters.
The work Of traas-shipping these car

He went out through North Wheeling

It was, perhaps, that inpelled him-a
