which was draped deep red silk shaded
to light pink, combined with gray and
black. On the left side was lorg sweep

some imported breast finished the right

with white silk with two imported black

very effective. Another decidedly pretty
one was of white rough surface felt, the
brim lined and faced on the outer edge
with black velvet, being arched up and

Two large black birds form the face

Annual Report of the B. and II.

The directors of the Boston and Maine
railroad have submitted their annual re.
port to the stockholders, for the year
ending June 80, to be presented at the
annual meeting at Lawrence today.
The gross earnings for the year were
$50, 4O6, 907, and the net earnings 49,.
S88, 121; an increase in net earnings of
1855, 877 over the previous year. Presi-
dent futile says:
"Consdering the fact that the manu-
featuring industries of the section most
directly served by this company have
not found their greatest prosperity dur.
ing the past year, that the cost of every
thing that goes into railroad operation
has been materially increased, and that
the benefits derivable from an amalga-
nation of the traffic of the two proper
ties could not be realized until several
months after their joint operation had
been undertaken, the results are, upon
the whole, quite satisfactory.
The present equipment of the road con-
sists OF $50 engines, 1881 passenger,
mail and express cars, $40 caboose cars,
1885 tool and road cars, 80 snow plows,
16 steam shovels.

on Christian Science by Hon. William G.

without notes in an interesting and logi-
cal manner. His address was very relig,
ious in its tone and followed closely the
teachings of Christ. The audience paid
him excellent attention and seemed deeply
interested in his lecture. He gave a state
ment OF the belief of Christian Scientists
and said the race were ia bondage to the
oId.time customs and beliefs OF our anccs-
tors, but gradually the human race was
being freed from these doctrines that fet
tered us. In the course OF his lectureh c
paid warm tribute to Mrs. Mary Baker
Eddy, and to all the noble women of the
past and present age, beginning with the
mother Of Christ. After the lecture Chris.

Lecture by rIr. Brooks.

Under the auspices of the social science
committee of the Woman's Club a lee.
ture was given at Athenaum hall Mon.
day evening by John Graham Brooks OF
Cambridge, Mass. The lecturer was
gracefully introduced by Mrs. A. B.
Noyes and gave within an hour a most
interesting and profitable address. The
subject announced was Luxury, " though
it appeared later in his remarks that he
had come to explain the work of the Ma
tional Consumers League, of which he is
president. After defining luxury he gave
many striking illustrations to show that
| in their day what were now considered
the little things and necessities OF life
were considered luxuries. He believed
that PERSONS expenditures ought to be
related to the welfare of the human race,
and declared that the problem of ex-
penditure was at the bottom of the prob
lem Of luxury. ITO buy thing is to
create it, and in spending money we
create the thing for which it is spent"
Mr. Brooks then proceeded to describe
the evils of the sweat shop system and
explained how the National Consumers
League hoped to eventually prevent
goods being made in sweat shops by
placing their label only on goods
manufactured in factories where the
conditions were tested and approved
by the League, Thirty splendid factories
are now using this label, and there are
80 of these leagues in 20 states. In clos
ing, Mr.. Brooks said that as past CEN
turtles had been distinguished by different
arts he would predict that this century
would create and develop the art of bet
tering the relations of society.
After his address, which was bristing
with illustrations, he was questioned by
the audience relative to the work of the
League and how one could be formed in
st. Johnsbury. Pamphlets containing
description Of the work of the League
nay be obtained of Mrs. A. B. Moves.
