the famous north shore of Massachu- 

 setts. The hotel occupies a beautiful 

 and commanding view of one of the 

 finest harbors, as well as the most in- 

 teresting on the Atlantic coast. On 

 one side the deep waters and bold rocks 

 of the coast, lined with beautiful sum- 

 mer homes, and on the other the old 

 colonial fort, form a vivid and con- 

 trasting picture of the old and the new. 

 Nearly every room at the Eockmere 

 commands this beautiful view. The old 

 town of Marblehead, with its ancient 

 churches, hip-roofed mansions, with 

 brass door-knockers, little, old-fash- 

 ioned flower gardens and the winding, 

 twisting streets, with its ancient and 

 historical landmarks, makes it one of 

 the most interesting places on the New 

 England coast. Marblehead is only 

 seventeen miles from Boston. Trains 

 on the Boston & Maine railway leave 

 every hour from the North Union sta- 

 tion and tickets can be purchased di- 

 rect to Marblehead and baggage 

 checked through. 



"It is thought by some of the offi- 

 cers of the association that this, the 

 twenty-ninth annual meeting, will be 

 the largest ever held. Extra efforts are 

 being made for an unusually good pro- 

 gram and there will be plenty of 

 amusement, with special entertainment 

 provided for the ladies."

WILD CELERY SEED DUTY FEEE. 



That seed of the wild celery is en- 

 titled to free entry recently was decided 

 by the Board of United States General 

 Appraisers in an opinion handed down 

 by Mr. Waite, sustaining the protests 

 of eight different importers. Collector 

 Loeb, at New York, assessed duty on 

 the goods at the rate of 10 cents per 

 pound under paragraph 266 of the Payne 

 tariff, as "seeds not specially provided 

 for." The drug importers contended 

 that the seed should be entered free 

 under paragraph 559 of the act. General 

 Appraiser Waite, in his opinion sustain- 

 ing the protests, said: 



"The seed in question, while similar 

 in appearance, is distinguished from the 

 ordinary garden celery seed by being
