FOR PEACE AND PROHIBITION.

BATH, Me-, June 7. Resolutions for
prohibition and international peace were
adopted today at the State Universalist
convention. They placed the conven-
ton in favor Of the retention of the pro-
hibitory law and unalterably opposed to
the licensed saloon and called upon all
Universalists in the State to work that
the present law may be retained.
The resolutions deplored 'the spirit of
war manifested in recent public utter
ances' and recorded the convention in
favor of the judicial settlement of inter-
national disputes and differences. They
concluded: "We commend the recent
efforts of our government toward this
end and we would especially request
teachers of istory in our public schools
to emphasize the victories of peace
rather than the glories of war;"
Rev. Joseph H. Croker, D. D., Of
Boston discussed ''Why Maine should re-
tain the prohibitory amendment" at a
noon mass meeting. The speakers at the
concluding session were Rev. Henry
Blanchard, D. D., Of Portland, Rev. O..
Howard Perkins of Brockton, Mass,
Rev. Charles H. Temple, Lewiston, and
Miss M. Agnes Hathaway of Toxic,
Japan. Mrs. Henry Bernard Smith pre-
sided at a meeting of the Women's Uni
versalist Missionary society.

scHooNERs QUIT THE COAL TRADE

Owing to the low freight rates for
carrying coal from Norfolk, Va. Balti-
more, Md, and Newport News, to Port
land, Boston and eastern ports several
large coal carrying schooners have left
the coal business and have been trans
ferred to the lumber carrying trade. 1t
is intimated that number Of vessels,
which have been carrying coal to Port
land may haul up because Of the small
freight rates and because little coal is
being shipped by the mine owners. Four
vessels to quit the coal trade are the
Mary F. Barrett, the Jacob M. Haskell, the
Helen Thomas and the Margaret Thomas.
The Mary F. Barrett is Bath vessel and
she is now loading a cargo of lumber at
Bridgewater, N. S., for Buenos Ayres,
South America. The Jacob M. Haskell
of Boston is loading at New York for
Montevideo, the Helen Thomas of Thorn
aston is loading at Baltimore for
Buenos Ayres and the Margaret
Thomas of Thomaston is at Nor
folk, Va, loading for Rosario. The
freight rates for carrying coal are at pres
ent as low as 70 cents ton from Balti-
more and 60 cents per ton from Hamp-
ton Roads. The rates have formerly
been as high as 80 cents and 81 per ton.

THE MACKEREL SITUATION EN-
COURAGING.
Shippers Report the Large Fish Are
Schooling for Long Stretch.

1t has been five or six years since the
mackerel situation looked so encouraging
as at the present time, both for the SEM
ers and meters and the prospects appear
bright for a good season s catch. The
shippers of incoming meters arriving at
New York, New Bedford, Newport, r.
l., Edgartown, Mass, and a few at
Provincetown, Mass, report that large
mackerel are schooling all the way from
Fire Island to Sankaty head and the Nan
tucket south shoal lightship, and the net
tiers are securing large numbers of the
splendid fish, for which they are receiv-
ing from 16 to 20 cents apiece in the
markets mentioned.
The mackerel situation has changed
completely within the past week, in
striking contrast to the reports given
out earlier in the season, that the mack
erel were not very plentiful and were
only being taken in limited quantities off
the New Jersey coast. UP to about one
week ago the situation had been consid
erably better than previous years, as
most of the large METERS had done better
than last year and most of them, in the
face of the present favorable reports,
are looking for the best of the season
yet to come and as long as the present
conditions continue the vessels will re-
main on the fishing grounds and follow
the body of fish as they proceed toward
the Cape shore. Many of the METERS
have already stocked from $500 to $500
so far this season. But it must be taken
into consideration that no one can tell
| what is liable to happen, that conditions
can change quickly, but at the present
time the prospects appear very rosy for
the fleet of vessels which are in pursuit
of the willy mackerel.
The weather to the southwark has been
generally fine so far this season, so fine
that the vessels have burned up an extra
quantity of gasolene making the passages
to the fishing grounds and back to port
in the calm weather and light winds
! which prevailed. The mackerel are very
late in spawning, and only since the first
of June have they begun to spawn. This
is considered by the various shippers as
good sign of long and prosperous sea-
son, and all of the mackerel men are of
the unanimous opinion that the fish have
I been late in coming north. They agree
that the large body Of mackerel which
the seiners found way off shore and could
| do nothing with on account of their wild
ness, were the fish which go to the Cape
shore, while the fish which have been re-
ported from time to time since the mid
die of May off Barnegat and Fire island
i and to the westward, are the regular
southern school of fish.

The Cat Came Back.

Mrs. S. X. Smith of Skowhegan believes that
she has a cat that has human intelligence.
Mrs. Smith was married short time ago and
her parents gave the old cat to her and she
took it to her home, IL miles away The cat
did not like the ways of the newly married
couple and returned home to the old folks
When she came into the house they said
"Why, old Tabby. what are you back here for!
We don't want you" The old cat meowed and
then turned and went out. The next morning
when the young couple got up they found the
old cat at the door. Finding that she was not
wanted at her old home she had walked back. .
