ody received from Folsom letter In
which the former minister admitted
the charge Of adultery with the young
girl of his congregation but denied
the other charges. The latest from
Folsom in Montreal says he has re-
nounced the Episcopal faith and has
been leading in revival meetings,
where he posed as a penitent and pic
lures his life in the faith he has re-
nOunced.
Crocus buds are peeping through the

The PASSPORT fishermen have another
and a great grievance. The recent dis
covery Of two splendid scallop beds near
the city, though in Canadian waters,
raised high their hopes for good business
i'll securing shellfish for the factories
which are being fitted for canning them.
But-with great big B-when they APP
preached the scallop beds they found
two Canadian protective cruisers on
guard and they were not even allowed
to go on the fishing grounds, to say
nothing of being allowed to use their
dredges. The fishing treaties now in
effect between this country and Canada
work queerly in places. When scallops
were plenty along the eastern Maine
coast the Canadian fishermen would
come over and reap a harvest, being
| able to sell either to the American or
| the Canadian canneEies. But now,
| when our american fishermen have a
chance to make some money they find
| themselves barred from the fishing
grounds and the law backed up by
armed vessels. Who wonders that they
have a disguised feeling?

The warm weather, rain and lack
of snow have combined to make con-
ditions in the numbering regions such
that about all operations are at
standstill. Men are almost daily be-
