There Is Talk of the Formation of On'
which VIII Take In All New England

Information comes from Boston that
there is talk of the formation OF CON-
bination OF Boston fish dealers which In
time may include all New England. 1t is
reported that some of the best firms are
interested In the plan ami twenty three
concerns have already signifed willing
ness to enter the combination At present
the firms that would go in represent
about 50 per cant of the output OF fish In
the Boston market
1t is said that 1t would be a fish tru ST
in name only, or moro properly pool Tor
regulating the market and kesping NJ
prices to "a fair point.
The attention of a prominent fish deal
er of Portland was riday called TO this
matter and be believed something .would
come out of the talk and II the pool was
formed in Boston it would most likely
extend and in time take in the Pertain
dealers, in fact all New England firms
He concurred In the opinions given by
some of the Boston dealers thatisome thing
would have to DO done TO put stop t.
the unsatisfactory conditions which have
existed In the fish market. Prices had
been fluctuating sharply and keen COM
petition had tended to unssttie things
generally. The Portland dealer was firm
teliever in consolidation in the fish bust

BIRTHDAY OBSERVANCE
or Miss Mary morrill, at the second Par.
fsh Church.

Yesterday afternoon In the vestry OF the
Second Parish church occurred the obser.
vance Of the birthday Of Miss Mary Nor
rill of Portland, who Is missionary In
China. Miss Morrill, returned to Portland
last year on a brief visit to her home af-
ter eight years of work in the mission
field and returned to her labors again
last October, accompanied by Miss Gould.
This meeting was very largely attended
and proved to be most interesting. Mrs.
A. b. Cole presided and after a prayer by
Mrs. Freeman of the Chestnut street
church aud response by Miss Brown,
Mrs Cole made few Introductory re-
marks and then called upon Mrs Il. 5.
Osgood for tho first paper OF the after
noon.
Mrs. Osgood spoke upon China, Its Ed.
ucationai and Intellectual Life" She
told of the system OF education in China
and OF the struggles Of the youth of China
to pass the severe examinations required
by the Chinese government. She re-
ferred to the fact that these examinations
of buys often resulted in their death SO
severe were they and told
OF the method of conducting them The
education OF the girls in entirely neglect
ed.
Mrs. Osgood's paper was followed by
solo by Miss Brown.
Mrs. j. +. Thompson then read n most
interesting paper on the political situation
in China In which she sketched the tis-
tory of China for the past so years up to
the present dynasty. She spoke of the
deposition OF the young emperor and the
succession of ths dowager empress and of
the open door policy which Is now occu
pying public attention in the far east.
She briefly outlined Russia's policy in
China and said that the United States
while In sympathy with the open door
policy and advocating the admittanoe OF
all nations to trade IN Chinese ports had
ms yet taken no active part in the ques-
ton. Her statement of the policy OF vari-
ous powers In relation to China was very
entertaining and showed that MS,
Thompson had made u very careful study
Of he situation.
-, Carter then spoke on How far
western civilization and Christiani y
aft 90 China's national life, In which
sue spoke of the influence the late war
war with Japan had unon the empire and
the great advances which had been made
by the efforts of the mission in China.
Mrs. Fem then read n paper on what
are our responsibilities In the eyangeiiz-
ing of this countryY' in which she point
Ell out the fast that it was plainly the
duty of the civilized world to take IN
hand the education of those people who
are SO Ignorant. Mrs Woodbury. then read
| letters from Miss Morrill, and Miss Gould
written from their new mission at Paut-
| ing Flu, in which they described the con-
ditions which surrounded them in their
new home and told something about their
work In the new field. Where they are
located Is one of the larger villages and
they have been most successful 50 far In
their work.
A set of resolutions drawn by Mrs. j
+. Thompson were then acted upon by
the assembly and ordered sent to Miss
Morrill, and Gould in China.
The interesting exercises closed with a
prayer by Mrs. Fem.
