Cough medicines, Ayer’s Cherry Pec- toral is in greater demand than ever. No preparation for Throat and Lung Troubles is so prompt in its effects, so agreeable to the taste, and so widely known, as this. It is the family medi- cine in thousands of households.
“Tt have suffered for years from a bronchial trouble that, whénever I take cold or ain exposed to inclement weath- er, shows itself by a very annoying tickling sensation in the throat and by difficulty in breathing. I have tried a great many remedies, but none does so well as Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral which always gives prompt re lief in returns of my old ecomplaint.’’— Ernest A. Hepler, {Inspector of Public Roads, Parish Ter- re Bonne, La.
“1 consider Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral a most important remedy
For Home Use. 4 have tested its curative power,in my family, many times during the past thirty years, and have never known it to fail. It will relieve the most serious affections of the throat and lungs, whether in ¢ hildren or adults.’”? — Mrs. E. G. Edgerly, Council Bluffs, Iowa.
“Twenty years ago I was troubled vith a disease of the lungs. Doctors afforded me no relief and considered my case hopeless, I then began to use Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and, before I had finished one bottle, jound relief. I continued to take this medicine until a cure was effected. I believe that Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral saved my life.”’— Samuel Griggs, W aukegan, iil.
“Six years ago I contracted a severe cold, which settled on my lungs and soon developed all the alarming symp- toms of Consumption. I had a cough, night sweats, bieeding of the lungs, pains in chest aad sides, and was se pe ‘ostrated as to be confined to my bed most of the time. After trying various prescriptions, without be nefit, my physician finally determined to give me Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I took it, and the effect was magical. I seemed to rally from the first dose of this medicine, and, after using only three bottles, am as well and sound as ever.” ~— Rodney Johnson, Springfield, IL

A meeting was held at Fairfield School- house on Monday, 16th inst., for the pur- pose of discussing the means by which the present destructive methods of catching mackerel by gill "hes and purse seines }could effectually be restricted in the waters
of P. E. Island.
Captain John McIntyre Chairman and the undersigned secretary.
The chairman, after defining the object of the meeting, methods resorted to for destroying our fish- /eries, and was most emphatic in denoune- ing the use of gill nets as the most disas- trous to our mackerel fishery. He urged upon the meeting the necessity ol at once uniting in an effort to prevent their use in our waters.
Mr. Angus E. MclIutyve said he had long experience as a fishermaa, when the old method-the hook aud Jine~- was in use. Then cur shores teemed with mackerel, and the employment afforded gratifying re- sults, but now the indiscriminate use of the gill net of late years has almost totally de- stroyed the industry by driving the fish from the haunts usually frequent ed by them. Hoe further stated that it was now clearly defined that the spawning season for mackerel extended to the 20th July in our waters, hence it was no exag- geration to say that nearly half the fish taken up to that date were unspawned, or mother-fish—a fact which should convince all persons that the unrestricted use of the Heili.nets, during that season, will effectually destroy fre-fish jn a short time. He also explained that int places al: ong our coast where netting was employed, few if any fish were taken by hook and tine ; ; whereas, where hooking alone was resorted to »_the
A. F. Rose des¢ribed the value of the fishing industry to our people, and how the loss of it would effect the whole Province. Foreigners are now invading our shores with destructive appliances, which, if permitted to continue, will in a few years rob us of one of ovr chief sources of livelihood. The use of the gilli net during the spawning season jinevit- ably results in driving the fish from our sheres out to deep water, not to retura again, but to seek other haunts where they cau spawn unmolested.
J. J. Campbell agreed with the opinions of previous speakers, and did not want foreigners or others to think that we were actuated by selfish motives, in trying to stop the wholesale extinction of our fisher- ies by the destructive methods used. He would welcome any fishermen to our shores who would resort to the old method— hook and Jine—but thought we should not stand aloof while the fish were driven from our shores by means of gill nets, &c. He showed by statistics that fishing grounds where s seining and netting were employed, during the last few years, are now no longer fishing grounds, aud capitalists who invested in those methods are fast getting out of the business, very much poorer, though perhaps wiser men. The report ot Lieut. Gordon, R. N., in reference to the methods of capturing mackerel, states, that at least one-third of the catch taken north of Cape Sable, N. S&S, is that of unspawned fish, and further states that the unrestricted use . the present appliances (seines, nets, &c.), means the destruction of our mackerel grounds within afew years.
T. B. Barker, J. P. McDonald, J. J. McPhee, and M. J. Harris, also addressed the meeting, and spoke in the same tenor as the previous ee agreeing that unless seining and netting be prohibited in our waters (particularly the latter,) the total annihuation of our fis result.
The following resolutions were then unanimously adopted :—
Whereas, 1t has been brought to the know- ledge of our fishermen that the several methods now in use, viz., netting, seining, etc., (particularly the former,) are a source of the greatest injury to the macherel fishers along our coast; and
Whereas, In various localities where the catch of mackerel was formerly large, this year, owinj: to netting being carried on exten- sively, the catch was, comparatively speaking, very small by hook and line; while in places where hook and line‘ was exclusively ueed, the catch was good; and
Whereas, It has been clearly demonstrated in Lieut. Gordon’s report tothe Minister of Marine and Fisheries last year (based on infor- mation obtained from experienced American and Canadian captains), that the greatest destruction to our mackerel fisnery occurs during the «mye : season, and that the ase of purse seiner nets, efc. means the total) i destruction of out mackerel fishery within a | few years ; the;efore Resolved, ‘That in the opinion of this meeting, the Minister of Marine and Fisheries be memorialized, forth the above facts, with a view having them sumitted to Parliament, with a request that such lezislation as will Fe: ctually restrict ihe uze Fa purse scines during the ‘spawning seison (up to the 20th July) and nevting du ing ail seasons, be it enacted ; and ifurther

. —_—_ | WORDS OF PRAISE CALLED OUT BY AN AT- TACK ON HIS CHARACTER, re” ( Boston Herald.) | My attention has been called to some !
‘articles respecting Father Damien's charac- |ter which have appeared in Boston, and as |I had the privilege of spending last Christ- |inas with him at Molokai, and of seeing a |good deal of his work, 1 venture to make rr few remarks on the subject. [t is diffienit to understand the impatience and jrritation |which any praise of Father Damien seems to excite in some quarters, and | wonder jexceedingly that = good men should wish to assume the office of detractor of this truly heroic person. i sent the substance of this letter to the paper which published ithe attack, but the editor writes me that he does not think it advisable to print it. | took the trouble when I was in Hawaii to inquire of different persozs who were hos- tile to hima concerning the reports against his character But ! could discover no evidence that was worthy of the slightest
spect, and i do not believe such evidence existed, Hehad ‘made himself very un- popular by bis successful war against in- suxioating spirits , aud I believe that what- ever hatred he incurred was the result of his goodness
Personally he struck meas as a man of great intelligence, much practical power and hich moral éh iracter, and his long articles in the printed official reports of the board of health certainly coniirm my im pression and show the high value with
which the authorities regar led his works. He was singularly modest, and I never
heard him say a boastful word, but | learn- }ea from these official reports of his refo fas to water supply, temperance, dw? clothing and medicine. As to hi habits and home life, I can * two little rooins, though, were always fresh and there was not the which characterize Franciscan Sist« spect much as He wa Tthe lepers, wh to be always ma his stair case and ; played and laughed boys, and | hear that distress of his people that they could scarce), thronging his sick iratdan,
He is accused of being ambitio jer ecclesiastical aut hority. Wha lcharge means | cannot conceive. W jambition is possible fora leper priest? He loan only live and die 4 nong lepers. Do his critica unagine he huped to be a cardinal or archbishop? I asked him if he expected to | become a leper when he devoted himself to | Molok: ai, and he told me that he was well aware at the time that he*could not escape. Such close association with the sufferers (before the health reforms which he aided the governor to establish) must be fatal. He washed their sores, attended to them when dying, breathed their atmosphere, cleansed their dead bodies and helped to dig their graves. He told me, however, that he would not purchase health at the price of leaving his work in the leper settle- ment.
I am myself a Protestant, and have no leaning to the Roman Catholic Charch (as I have explained at length in my little book
that God has his saints wherever the name of Christ is believed in.
In trying to give Fr. Damien his due | do not wish to undervalue the work of other noble men and women who have given their lives to the same service. The Moravians especially deserve great honor, and sv do the Roman Catholics who have comparatively recently gone over to help Fr. Damien at Molokai. I think it not im- probable that they may be fully bis equals inheroiam. But it is no wonder that the world at large should exhalt the me- mory of the one man who went out to Mviokai when it was filthy and horrible ; who lived there without flmching for 16 years, and who, after six years endurance of the foul disease, died at his post
