From Philadelphia.

Now that Tom MtEwen has allowed
some designing men To trade on his per.
>onai popularity. by putting him up tor
mayor to serve their selfish purposes, a
good story on that gentleman Is being re.
vivrd aud told On the curb, To illustrate
Mr.. M,Ewrn'S predomiua,ing character.
i,,ic, that utter Inability oi his to refuse
any trQurst made oi him. This Is the
way the story goes.
Last spring gentleman wanted to buy
a horse aud, oi course, went To Tom No.
Even IL make the purchase. There was
none ~ the stables To suit him and Tom
promptly VOLUNTEERED to ge, the animal de-
signed especially tor this man. The horse

GOOD NEWS FROM SEVEN DEVILS.
Great Activity Reported From the Copper
Camps Over There.

w. ID. Lovejov, the well known law.
yer Of Salubria, Is in the city, and brings
good news from the Seven Devils coun-
Try, where he states there Is UNIV ontrd ac.
tivity. The company, headed by W. b.
McDougall, Of California, who recently
took over the Greek Joe" properties about
a mile below Ballard'S Landing, is doing a
great deal OF development, both in mining
and building, they now being engaged in
repairing old buildings and putting up
new, and preparing generally for very ex.
tensive development work.
Haas brothers, of Weiser. owners of
the River Queen mine, are preparing for
sinking this winter. This is one of the
best properties OF the Devils country,
where they have extremely hieh.grade
ore, aud where but little sinking has been
done, though great depth can be found
quickly because OF the lay Of the country.
They will sink in large shoot OF very
rich material, IN which they have been
drifting tor some months. getting out SO
much ore that all the facilities for storing
II have been utilized.
Al the Iron DYKE they are making large
improvements and the employment OF a
much larger force OF men this winter than
ever before. They have not yet begun
the erection Of their mating plant, but
this will doubtless be put up early in the
spring, as there is large quantity Of ore
already extracted and ready for reduction.
Mr.. Lovejoy says there is good feel.
ing throughout that entire section and
that an important project is on for the IA.
nous Heath district, though It could not

Scientific Dairying Demonstration.

The two days meeting for demon
strative dairy work held at SkOWhegan
was successfully carried through. The
severe rain. Thursday, prevented many
people from attending; notwthstand-
ing this there was a fair audience Of
representative dairymen present every
one of whom came To the meeting for
the purpose Of learning and for an in
terchange Of ideas. The morning Of
Thursday was devoted to setting up
the machinery and separating the milk
FOR churnng Two seplrators We're
run and Il gallons of milk from near
by dairymen were separated and the
cream placed at the proper temporal
ture for ripe ming. Prof. GoWeu eX-
planned in detail the process of rIpen-
ing by the use Of artificial starters
Secretary Mckeen was kept busy test
ing samples of milk. about 40 of Whlch
were tested during the session. Prof
GoweI spoke, in the afternoon, further
demonstrating the practical work 81
dairying. and. i'll the evening. Mrs. r.
r. :. Taylor of Fairfield Center. gave
an interesting lecture on domestic
science This lecture brought out
quite an amount Of discussion and
questions. in which all were deeply in
terested.
In the morning. Friday. the churn-
ing If the cream was begun. 1t had
been divided into two lots, one Of
which had been thoroughly pasteuriz-
ed. After the butter had been churn-
Ell and printed by Percy Lowell, from
the farm Of the University of Maine
at Orono. it was submitted to the audi
ence for inspection There was a man
ifest difference in the quality Of the
butter from the pasteurized and un-
pasteurized cream While both Were
pronounced first-class that from the
pasteul lied cream had a much better
appearance. with better grain and
flavor. 1t was considered quite re
markable that butter Of such flavor
and general appearance could he Secu!-
cd at public meeting. II could. n
course. only BE- done 10y a strict Oh
servance of all Of the rules governing
such work.
The milk was weighed ana sample
taken for testing. The butter was
carefully weighed and comparis ms
made between the result as obtained
from the churn and the tester. and Il
was found that they We're practically
alike there being no appreciable din
ference in the amount of butter obtain
Cd and that called for by the tests.
The test Of the skinned milk from the
separators showed very clean work.
Some Of the tests of skinned milk
from deep can setting showed quite 4
large amount of fat, and the necessity
for the use of the siphon in Swimming.
The sample drawn without the use ~
the siphon tested tive-tenths # l per
cent. Of fat. and the other two-tenth+.
In the afternoon. Prof. GoWell again
addressed the audience along dairy

to the consideration Of the Maine bred

Sifsc,A. Hayden with Elegant Charm.

The high esteem in which the

The pleasantest part OF the event
came when Eminent Sir Manning ;.
Campbell stepped forward and in his
characteristic easy manner. presented
Rev. Sir Hayden With the charm and
chain. The recipient was completely
taken back for a few moments, but
quickly recovering himself said that
he should wear the chain and charm
with the greatest of pleasure. And
while he could not help treasuring il
on account of its intrinsic value, yet
he would value it chiefly on account Of
the good will Of which ii is token
and which went with ii.
The charm cannot be excelled for
elegance in the city. 1t contains five
large diamonds in the crown above a
cross of rubies. The hits of the cross
ed swords are also studded with dia-
