THE EAST MAINE CONFERENCE.

ELLSWORTH. Me-, April IL. The last days ex-
ercises of the 62nd annual East Maine Methodist
Conference, in session here for the past week,
were opened this morning with address by
DR.. John P. D. John of Green Castle, Ind, "a
Glimpse of God Without Eyes," was the sub
ject of the sermon DIR. John preached.
Resolutions endorsing the Sturgis law,
which provides for the strict enforcement of
the prohibitory liquor law, and thanking Gov.
Fernald for his insistance on the retention of
that law in the statutes, were adopted just be-
fore the final adjournment of the conference
A resolution in reference to the action of Gov
ernor Fernad in vetoing the Hastings BILL
providing for mandatory Jail sentences, in IL
quor cases, also was adopted. 1t read in part as
follows:
''The recent veto of the Hastings bill caused
us momentary amazement and grief, but,
recognizing the apparent infringement upon
the prerogatve of our supreme court, we
trust the action of the Governor will prove his
wisdom and that time may show that better
enforcement of law shall have been secured by
the veto than could have been attained by the
enactment of the BILL.
The appointments of pastors and district
superintendents for the ensuing year were an
nounced. There were no changes in the dis
trict superintendents and few changes in this
district Rev. G. G. Winslow is returned to
East Northport and C. J. Clark succeeds G.. H.

to the Dixmont circuit. Other local appoint
ments are as follows: Brooksville circuit, M. S.
Beckwith; Bucksport, E. S. Barker; Bucksport

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When the tube is infiamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars free

The Shoe Situation.

The noteworthy feature in footwear is the
buying of sole leather by several large manu.
facturers, indicating that some contracts are
being placed Late spring orders are keeping
many factories fairly busy, while number
have now started up on fall contracts. The
demand for tan and russell shoes for sum
mer wear is light, but that for bronzed calf and
kid goods is satisfactory New England sales
men on the road report an improvement in fall
orders, and as both retail and wholesale stocks
are much below normal, renewed, activity can
not be long delayed-Duns Review April 10TH
