an enjoyable evening was spent in dane

DIR. Arthur J. Chilcott, of Bangor, son
of Mrs. Chilcott of this city, was severely
| injured by the explosion of vulcanizer
at his dental rooms in Bangor last Thurs
day morning. His right hand was split
from the second and third fingers back to
| the wrist, as cleanly as though done with
a knife. The third finger was so badly
injured that amputation was necessary.
The force of the explosion did consider
able damage to the building in which DR..
Chilcott's office was located, blowing out
window sashes, and making a wreck of
| the office. The vulcanizer Is machine
used for hardening rubber. Attached to
it is gas reservoir, and it is believed this
| became overheated.
| On January !, two of EllsWorth's esti
mabe young men made new business
connections. Charles Fl. Drummey was
admitted a partner in the law firm Of
Hale &; Hamlin, and w. w. Morrison be-
| came a partner in he firm of Morrison x
JOY, hard ware. Mr.. Drummey has been
III the office of Hale & Hamlin for some
years, and his admission to the firm at
tests the high regard in which he is held
| by its members. Since his graduation
from college, Mr.. Morrison has worked
in the store of the firm whose senior
''from the ground up'', and his faithful
ness and ability are rewarded by junior
| part tnersh hip. 1t is safe to say that both
these young men have the best wishes of
the entire business community i'll their
new relations.
A former resident of Ellsworth,
Mrs. w. II. Bradley, now of Mil
waukee, is chairman of the educational
committee of the Wisconsin Humane
society, and in that capacity is doing
some very useful work. THE AMERICAN
is in receipt of her last annual report,
made to the society in Novem ber last.
1t is a most interesting document, the
length of which alone prevents it's re-
production. The pledge of the society
creatures" Literature is distributed
throughout the state among the various
institutions of learning and reform, in
homes, and wherever by reason of numer-
| Gus occupations, people are called to-
| gether The work is known as making
mo suggestions of creed or society, but
as striving to dispense good will, protec-
| tion and pity wherever needed w neither to
the highest and most favored of our own
and the dumb race, or to the lowest and
most unattractive forms of created life".
For three afternoons last week and
three afternoons this week. many Ellis
worth women, armed with pencil and
note book, might be seen vending their
way toward Manning hall. What does it
mean? 1t means that these women aspire
to perfection in cookery--they are going
| to cooking school, OF which Mrs. Mary
j. Lincoln, of Bost on, master in the art,
| is the school mistress. And what is q
cooking school like? Imagine these
women, seated in the hall, conveniently
near the kitchen, from the open door of
which issues most appe izing odor In
the kitchen pleasant-faced, pleasant
voiced woman fits about, hands busy
with number of dishes at once. All the
time she is explaining how this and that
| thing is done, answering quest ions, some
| foolish, some " ise, dropping useful hints
| which the busy pencils pick up. And
| then comes the pleasant part of the
school, the tasting, most az 5ravating be-
cause 1t is but taste. "W hat delicious
soup" Mrs. Lincoln's soup has made
| hit i'll Ellsworth. About fifty women are
! i'll regular attendance at the school.
At the semi-snuusl meeting of the
| Maine Veterinary medical association in
! Bangor Thursday evening, DR.. w. l..
| West, of this city, was reelected secre-
| tary. On Friday, a number of the veter
inaries visited the State college at Orono,
where affected with tuberculosis
was killed. Previous to killing the COW
she was examined, and without the tu-
| berculin test showed no signs of dis
e4se. The test, however, had shown that
she was diseased, and upon being killed
and diSsected, the correctness OF the test
was verified the lungs being badly af-
| fected. DR.. West brought home with
| him in alcohol small part of the lung
| which is interesting as showing how the
disease affects cattle. 1t is a peculiar feat
| ure of tuberculosis that cattle affected
with the disease seldom show outward
! signs of it except in advanced stages.
| The tubercuin test is, however, an in
| fallible test. DIR. West has examined
about dozen cows in this vicinity, and
| found one case of tuberculosis. He does
| not think the disease is as prevalent here
as in other parts of the State, but that is
no reason why COWS should not be ex-
amined as one diseased COW is a menace
to he entire herd, and to people using
the milk.
