David 3. Henderson DYING.

Dubuque, Ia. Oct. 14.-There Is
very little change in the condition OF
ex-Speaker David B. Henderson. Tues
day the ex-speaker had an unusually
hard day, which left him in a great
ly weakened condition Members o1
his family are constantly at his bed
side in his quarters at the hotel Ju
lien.
DIR. J. s. Hancock, who recently took
charge of the case, is of the opinion
that death may come at any time ani
yet the patient may live six months
or more. A sudden rush of blood tt
the head might kill him instantly.
Trained nurses are constantly with
him, the ex-speaker being unable tt
move.

Church Conference.

Boston, Oct. 16.-In an interview to-
day Rev. Dr. Sauel A. Eliot, of this
city, president of the American Uni.
tartan association, commented upon
the action of the executive committee
of the inter church conference on fed.
Grafton in excluding the delegates OF
the Unitarian denomination. Rev. DIR.
Eliot said:
Il should like to say that the action
of the executive committee Of the
federation seems to me to put the
federation in a false light before the
American people. It's Membership

Sheep In Demand.
Sheep and lambs are still in keen
demand, and the local supply has been
pretty thoroughly cleaned up. although
q few bands come on the market
through variety of circumstances.
There are few thousand head of
sheep that can be bought, and they
will undoubtedly be taken care of very
soon. Prices that can Oe obtained in
this county right now are as follows,
and those who have stun to sell will
do well to study these figures, as it
may save them from selling under the
market If they are SO situated as to

Lambs. $3.50; mixed yearlings,
around $40; good breeding ewes,

$4.25; two-year-old wethers, 1915.
Good choice lambs, with a 10 per cent
cut will sell right now for about

Dun's Review.
Following is Dun's current review
of the wool market:
The average of one hundred grades
Of domestic wool, as shown by the
monthly circular of Coates Brothers
was 28.42 cents a pound on October
l, or no alteration during the month
of September. Some grades are neg
lected, but as rule the wool markets
are fairly active. Territory woods are
the strongest in tone and most sought
by manufacturers. Home markets
were undoubtedly helped by results at
the London auction sale, which fully
maintained the opening advance. Much
business is being taken by woolen
mills that promises steady absorp-
tion of raw material.
"Boston-The wool market is quiet.
Aside from few sizable trades in ter
ritory and similar domestic staple,
sales have been confined to small lots.
There is rather more demand for do
mestic secured woods. Pulled wools
are slow. Medium unwashed fleeces
are moving at "a to 35 cents, but fine
feeces are neglected. In foreign wools
the best demand is for crossbred
stock. Carpet wools are generally
dull, though large scale of comb.
ing has been closed. The tone of the
market Is very firm and confidence
in values is general. Receipts for the
week were 2.187,884 pounds and de.
liveries 4,772,425 pounds.
"Philadelphia-In the Philadelphia
wool market business, while still quiet,
has been somewhat better and prices
are well maintained. The inquiry has
been chiefly for fine medium and fine
fieeces and territories and there has
been considerable sampling. Quarter
and low WoOls, on which concessions
were made last week, are now held
firmly, and some lots have been vir.
tually withdrawn from the market by
dealers who will not accept present
prices and expect to get better rates
later in the season. Sales during the
week include one-half blood unwash
ed "a cents; quarter unwashed 81
cents; threequarter unwashed 33h
cents; original territory u cents
clean and territory at grease price
equivalent to SO and 20 cents clean
Is cents clean for fine medium and 90
cents clean for choice fine staple"

FIRST HEAVY SNOWFALL
Commences at A. NJ, Sunday, ans
Continues Throughout the Day.

The first real heavy snow storm OF
the season descended upon the city
yesterday, and spread its heavy white
shroud over everything. The storm
began about o'clock in the morning
and continued with heavy fall dur
ing the day. The Maine Central snow
plough went over the line ahead of
the o'clock newspaper" train. clear
ing the tracks between Portland and
Bangor. The Electric Road plough
went over the whole system, and the
street department had it's ploughs
working nearly all day, in the busi-
ness and residential districts. The
telegraph and telephone wires i'm this
section of the State2were in no way
affected by the snow, happy fact
due to the absence of Il high wind for
the snow was wet and heavy, and
with swinging wires, the service would
have been put out of commission, as
was the case with the first big storm,
last year. About four inches of snow
fell during the day and it was of n
wet, sticking quality that is especially
disagreeable and noted for its stay
ing qualities. Sleighs and pungs were
the rule, yesterday, and the long de-
layed visitation of winter may be rea =
sonably regarded as being with us to
stay.

In the account of the annual eXhibi-
ton of the Augusta China Club, which
appeared in the Journal, Thursday
morning. the collection of china exhibit
ed by Miss Mira Jenkins of Pittsfield
WIS omitted. The pieces shown by
Miss Jenkins were delayed in transmits
sion, and only those who attended the
exhibition in the evening were
fortunate in seeing her china. Miss
Jenkins collection was of such unusual
worth that this belated mention, will
not be amiss. Prominent i'm the collect
ion, Miss jenkins showed a magnificent
chocolate set, with n decoration of
pine cones, and done in browns. An
other piece that came in for large
share of attention, was a large chop
tray with blackberries and blossoms.
There were also several pieces in roses.
and Miss Jenkins collection was one OF
the best shown.
