There Is moro catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it q local disease and prescrib-
cd local remedies and by constantly
failing TO cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu.
tional cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. ID acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces Of the sys.
tenn. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.

Washington. May 24.-The Canadian
members of the International Deep
Water Commission, are insistent that
the ST. John river navigation question
be considered by the joint commission.
They are under written instructions
from their government to treat this
subject in connection with the larger
problems of lake navigation and sub
mergance of riparian lands through
the construction Of dams.
When Charge O'Beierne. yesterday.
brought this matter to the attention OF
Sec. Taft. the latter telegraphed Sera-
tor Hale for his advice. as he did sew
eral weeks ago, when the suggestion
was first made. The senator's reply
was received, this afternoon. and
amounted in substance to repeti-
ton of his first message. namely. that
the st. John river question should not
be included in the commissions work,
but should be allowed to await the
creation of Il special commission at the
next session of Congress.
Attorney General Moody has render

a MEAN FISHERMAN"
Using Explosive in the Lower Bridge
Salmon Pool at Newport.

Newport, Me, May 2I--(SpeciaD.-
Numerous game wardens have been i'm
this town during the past few days
trying to locate the parties who have
been killing fish by the use of eXplo-
sives. Monday night. several of the
light slccpers were reused from their
slumbcrs by dull explosion, but no
signs Of law breakers could be seen.
Tuesday morning, many fish were
found in the pool beneath the lower
bridge No salmon were found, for
undoubtedly the fish killer was after
salmon, and If he killed any they were
doubtless gathered up and carried OH.
OF late several good catches of salmon
have been made from this pool and
the hopes of local anglers have been
on the rise The lake is well stocked
with this fish. but up to this spring
very few have been caught. Now that
they have put i'm appearance and are
being slaughtered by the use of ex-
plosives. much indignation is the re-
suit. and if the person who is breaking
the law is caught he will receive the
full penalty without doubt.

EVERY PARISH REPRESENTED
At 120th Annual Episcopal Convention
in Trinity Church, Boston.

Boston. May 24.-Reports on a num-
Der Of important matters were laid be-
fore the 10th annual diocesan cOnven-
ton of the Episcopal church. which
was held in Trinity church here, to-
day. Every parish in the diocese of
Massachusetts was represented. After
a celebration of the Holy Communion
the sermon was preached by Rev. DR..
Edward Abbott. rector of st. James
church, Cambridge.
At the business session in the parish
house Immediately afterwards, a COM
mittee appointed, last year, to consid-
er the suggestion that st. Paul's church
be made prO-cathedral reported adj
versely. The committee also recon-
mended that the prosition to erect a
cathedral for this diocese which now
has none, he carried out as soon as it
is deemed advisable, and that a COM
mittee be appointed to have charge of
the PROJECT for another year.
The cathedral project, which has
been agitated for many years, was re-
vived about two years ago, when Miss
Sophie Walker of Waltham. left fund
of nearly 100000 to go towards the
construction of a bishops church. The
diocesan authorities propose to erect a
cathedral as soon as sufficient addi-
tional funds are available and a move
ment is already under way towards
carrying out the undertaking.
In its report the committee on relig-
ious education in the public schools,
recommend that a commission on re-
llsious and moral training, in the pub
lie schools. be appointed to confer with
representatives of other religious bod
les for the purpose of considering the
wisdom of preparing a grade series of
Bible readings for use in schools. The
committee on permanent funds for the
support Of the archdeacOn recommend
cd that a fund amounting to not less
than 5000 be established for the sup
port of his work.
The need of religious revival was dis
cussed by committee on general mis-
sions which recommended that the
Lcnten season of 1906 be made spec
ial time for parochial mission work in
the diocese.
Bishop William Lawrence delivered
his 18th annual address at the after
noon session.

Wrecks FirsxoiksFactoIy
in West Hanover, Mass.
Of Hundred Operatives Only One
Was Seriously Injured.
Cause, Unknown Properly Loss Small
Several Other Buildings Burned.

Rockland, Mass. May 24.-Ten small
one-story wooden buildings of the Ma :
tional Fireworks Co.'S. plant at West
Hanover were wholly or partially de-
stroyed. late this afternoon. by an eX-
plOsion in the mixing room or labora-
tory.
OF the hundred persons employed at
the plant, only one man, Arthur Cate,
was severely but not fatally injured,
while four girls. Margaret Laverty.
Nettie Gushing, Mollie McCauley and
Sarah Catty, were bruised somewhat
by being thrown to the ground by the
shock of the explosion.
The plant had similar explosion,
early one Sunday morning about two
years ago, which was also unattended
by any loss of life. The explosion at
that time wrecked a large two-story
bl!ck structure, and in it's place the
company built nearly 60 small wooden
shanties. covered with ganvanized iron
and scattered over % acres Of land.
The company has been actively en-
gagged in the manufacture Of flee
crackers and fireworks for the coming
holidays and in several of the build
inSs there was a considerable amount
of finished product stored.
Mr.. Cate was alone in the mixing
room when the explosion took place.
He saw several piles of explosives be-
gin to smoke and flame, and without
waiting to eXtengush them he started
for the 1Oor. Just as he reached it the
explosion came, which shattered the
building and threw him to the ground.
He sustained severe burns upon the
back and arms and vas removed to his
home. He was reported comfortable,
tonight. and no serious results are an
ticipated.
A short distance from the mixing
room was a room in which the four
girls We're employed making fire
era ckrrs, and upon the sound of the
explosion they instantly realized their
danger and We're able to get outside
their buil1ing when that. too. was
blown to pieces. They were all hurled
to the ground by the shock, but none
Of them sustained any other injuries
except a few bruises. The ether en-
ployes of the plant escaped uninjured.
Four small buildings caught fire and
were burned to the ground, and four
other structures were shattered.
President G. J. J. Clark stated. to-
would be insignificant. but that sever
al thousand dollars worth of fireworks
were destroyed.
