Decides to Remain.

At an adjourned meeting of the
FIRST Universalist parish, held at the
close of the services, last Sunday
morning, there was a unanimous eZ-
preston of desire that their pastor,
Rev. J. ". Steele, should continue in
the pastorate for another year. Many
of the toWnspeople, irrespective of
church affiliation, have also urged Mr.
Steele TO continue in the work of the
church. Accordingly the minister has
given answer that he would remain.
unless very decidedly stronger call
should come and he should feel that
it clearly pointed the way TO duty
elsewhere. Mr.. Steele has successfully
served the church for four years, a
longer period than any minister has
remained for many years. Mr.. Steele
has a strong attachment for Hallowell
and he has many friends in the city

question is a circular addressed ito
everyone connected with the insur-
anee business and bearing the names
of NJ. L. Kerrigan, p. W, Linscott and
Arthur w, Burke and which the gov
ernor claims is an attack on his po-
sition on workingmen's compensation.
In his letter to the district attor-
nev. the governor quotes the cireu-
lar and also the law which he claims
has been violated, saying:
Il have just received the following
circular, attacking my position on
workingmen's compensation and pur-
porting to be issued by committee
representing the Industrial Accident
insurance companies of Massachu-
sets. This circular is being distrib-
uted for the purpose of influencing
voters in the pending election in clear
violation of Chapter 5S1. Section 3, Acts
of 1907, and Chapter 4S3, Section /,
Acts of 1908, forbidding certain acts
by moneyed corporations and defining
certain limitations upon the use of
money in elections.

l request you to take such prompt
action in the case as you deem APP

ney Pelletier announced the dropping

the committee sent a soliciting letter
to the Boston Blower Co, in viola
ton of the law. Counter charges
against the chairman of the Demo-
cratic state committee were also
dropped by the district attorney. Mr..
Pelletier announced that he had re-
ceived TO evidence that the laws had
been violated and that since the stat
ute alleged to have been violated con-
tains no penalty clause it would be
useless to continue the investigation
in any case.

Bradstreet'S Re-
port on Business.

New York, Nov. 3.-Bradstreets
State of Trade. tomorrow, will say:
Retail trade, which now occupies the
center of the stage as regards distri-
button, has been greatly stimulated
by colder weather over q wide area
OF country. In fact. reports regarding
this branch of business display a bet
ter senor than they have since last
spring. The turnover has been espe-
cia,ly marked in such lines as dry
goods. rubbers boots and shoes, furs,
clothing and furnishings, and the long
deferred breaking up of stocks seems
to be now under wey. But in a general
sense wholesale trade, outside of hol-
idav lines, is relatively light, this
being natural concomitant of the
sea son. Raw wool is firmer in respect
t6 its undertone, but prices are not
actually higher, and foreign woods,
hitherto very dull. have become lit
tie n'ore active.
In the iron and steel industry the
fling OF the suit against the leading
interests is expected to produce
prolonged period of competition AS
regards immediate developments the
principal producer has booked an in
creased volume of orders. thong in
other respects trade is depressed. Coal
is in better request owing chiefly TO
lower temperatures.
In summation the situation indi-
Gates that the trade is undeniably
late. but not necessarily an evil and
as matter of fact the tendencies APP !
pear TO augur improvement. !
