Gain for the RaaIne Democrats.

Portland, Me-, September 13.-The
Republicans of Maine were success
full in the State election, their candi-
date for Governor, William Il. Cobb,
of Rookland, being elected by a
plurality which probably will be as
high as 10000. This probable plu-
rality is $500 smaller than that by
which the Republican ticket was
successful in Maine four years ago.
The Democratic leaders are claim
ing that the vote indicates an in
crease in party strength in the State.
On the other hand the Republican
leaders had declared that they
expected only from $4,000 to $4,000.
The complete returns indicate that
the Democrats will have several
State Senators, whereas they now
have only one, and that they will
make slight gain over their present
membership in the State House OF
Representatives.

Rev. A. B. Earle Dead.

Rev. A. B. Earle, pastor of the
uyttleton Street Methodist church,
Camden, died in that city last week.
His health began falling some six
months ago and despite his patient
efforts for relief he had been gradu-
ally growing weaker. His father and
several brothers died in their prime
of the same malady and Mr.. Earle
looked upon his illness as fatal from
the first attack. He was born in
Charleston on February 4, 1866, AID

Wofford college and shortly after
wards entered the ministry. He has
been q member of the South Caro-
lima Conference for IL years. On
June 15, 1887, he married Miss Car
rie Kirby, of Spartanburg, who with
eight children survive him. Mr..
Earle was well-known in Oconee

sided for three years. He was a
brother-in-law of Rev. e. s. Jones,
of Walhalla, they having married
sisters. The Presiding Elder, Rev.
III. b. Browne, conducted the funeral
service at the Lyttleton Street church

d { II q Is = - ~
Two years ago a very rational and
well-conside,ed project was launched
at Easley, s. O., which contemplated
the establishment, in a small way, of
creameries for the manufacture of
cheese. 1t was realized that, while
that section of the South is admir-
ably adapted TO stock raising and
dairy pursuits, the single crop prac-
tice had been persisted in so long
that restoration of the flocks and
herds which formerly abounded there
must necessarily be a slow process.
Accordingly it was decided to estab-
lish creameries on scale which
would not involve o large outlay of
capital and locate them at PORTS
which offered the greatest promise
of interesting the neighboring
farmers. The creameries established
through this arrangement included
that of the Tabor Cheese Co., ca
,pacity 176 pounds of cheese per day;
Walhalla Cheese Co., capacity 200
pounds per day; Tokeena Cheese
CO., capacity 176 pounds per day !:
and the Rush Creek Cheese Co.,
with a, capacity of 200 pounds per
day.
These creameries were established
with the idea that they were large
enough for experimental purposes,
and would not involve heavy finan-
cial loss in case the farming commu-
mites in which they were located
should fail to respond to their sup
port. That the results achieved
through these experiments have
been successful may be inferred from
the fact that the parties instrumental
in establishing them have embarked
in larger project of the same kind,
at Union, employing more capital in
its operation than the several smaller
establishments, as originally started.
The establishment will be located
on a 500-aore farm, three miles east
of Union, and will be equipped with
all necessary apparatus for cheese
making. The farm is splendidly
watered and will be planted in grasses
and forage crops. The company has
already commenced to place it's pro-
duct upon the market and will keep
large herd of COWS of its own, be-
sides buying the milk offered by the
surrounding country. 1t makes 12
pounds of cheese to every 100
pounds of milk. The whey is fed to
hogs, and the company exhibits some
very fine specimens of Berkshire and
Poland China hogs, fed on this waste
product. The cheese is readily sold
in the Union market at IT cents per
pound, Wholesale.
1t is asserted that in Wisconsin
and other parts of the West the aver
age production of cheese runs about
nine pounds to one hundred pounds
of milk, or three pounds less than is
shown by the South Carolina estab-
lishment; and it is claimed, also,
that the Carolina cheese will uni
formly command higher price, by
cents, than the Western product.
This creamery company desires TO
encourage the settlement of German
farmers in the neighborhood of
Union.--The Southern Field.

OLD THEORY IS DOUBTED.
Some Meteorologists Deny That For
ests Influence the Rainfall to
Any Great Extent.

Almost from time immemorial me-
teorologists and the public generally
have held to the opinion that the cut
ting away Of forest trees greatly
diminishes the rainfall in q given area.
Of late. however, the first named class
doubt the correctness Of the theory,
although they concede that denuding
the land OF trees accelerates the rate at
which water runs on mountain sides.
The same attitude is adopted by the
forestry bureau at Washington, in q
report regarding special study of the
Rock River watershed. The region lies
partly In Wisconsin and partly In ILL
nois. Within the last IS or 10 years
there has been some decrease in precip-
itation in the valley and the river IL
lower than It once was.
In discussing the facts the bureau
adopts a notably cautious manner, say
Ing that 1T cannot be safely asserted
that forest destruction has produced
any falling on in the annual precipita-
ton over the region" Commenting on
the facts In "The Bulletin Of the Amer.
lean Geographical Society,"" r. Deb
Ward, a well known meteorological
calls attention to the fact that falling
on In rainfall has been observed al
many other localities in the western
part Of the United States for several
years. thus In measure corroboratine
the conclusion of Bruckner that there
is 35-year cycle In the climate.

POTTERY AND PORCELAIN.
Russian Product Of Which Little Is
Seen Outside Of Russia-Samples
in This Country.

Very little Is known in this country of
Russian pottery. In St Petersburg there
is royal porcelain mandatory where
exceedingly fine and artistic ware is pro-
duced, though 1t is almost impossible
to bring samples out of that country,
which accounts for it's great scarcity in
Europe and America, says the China,
Glass and Pottery Review. The pottery
is bold, semi-barbaric character, with
arabesque decorations, consisting of
heads of animals in relief, etc. The in
dustry is carried on rather sparingly,
and, aside from this royal porcelain
plant, there is but little attention given
to the production of ceramic wares.
In the Pennsylvania museum. of which
Edwin Atlee Barber is curator, can be
seen a case of decorated Russian pot
terry, which was originally exhibited at
the centennial in 1876. This pottery is
of buff or orange colored clay, and the
decorations are in relief and highly
colored. The pieces are in the shape of
coffee pots, vases, plaques, etc. An.
other variety is decorated with conven-
tionalized animals. painted in enameled
colors. There is also in this museum e
single piece Of fine porcelain, artistical-
ly decorated, consisting of cup an
saucer, the product of one of the moder.
Russian potteries.

Ages of Married Couples.

A. curious correlation between the
ages Of husband and wife appears to
have been established in the course of
the recent investigation Of the in
heritance of physical qualities by Prof.
Karl Pearson. Prof. Parsons results,
published in Biometrika, may be briefly
summarized: "These data have shown
that there is very definite correlation
between the degrees of longevity Of hus-
band and wife. Things take place as If
men destined to live to old age, marry
women of similar vitality, while short
lived men generally marry short-lived
women. There has been an unconscious
selection from the point of view Of gen.
eral vitality. This follows clearly from
the study of the age Of decease of great
number of couples, taken from grave
yard inscriptions" The influence of
grief upon the longevity of the survivin z
partner is not taken into account.

Kilgore, O., April ia rather re-
markable case has just come to light in
this place. Mr.. John I. Riegle had been
suffering for some time with an aggra..
waited form of Kidney disease which had
caused him great deal Of discomfort.
He tried the treatment of several doc
tors, but did not get any better. At last
he CHANGED to read an advertisement of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which has
been making many wonderful cures, and
he bought some at once and began to use
them. He says of the result:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills do just what they
are advertised to do. can praise them
for the good they have done for me
They cured me completely after the doc
tors had failed, and wish that every
poor sufferer could hear of them, for
know they will cure Kidney trouble"
There seems to be no case of Kidney
Trouble, Rheumatism or Backache that
Dodds Kidney Pills will not cure per
