STUDYING CLAYS.
Interest In this important Subject
Being Stimulated.

Information is being sought by
people all over the country, says the
Scientific American, on the subject
of testing of clays for the various
purposes for which they are used,
other than road building. Special
tests are now carried on to that end.
A furnace has been installed by
the Department of Agriculture ana
actual burning tests on clays are now
made. In order to further stlmu-
late interest in the development OF
native clay bodies. a special circular
was issued on THE Useful Proper
ties of Claws" The aim OF TINS cir
cular was to give information IN the
simplest possible way to people VINO
were not supposed TO possess teen
meal knowledge of Gays
This circular particularly points
out that for the year 1902, the last
wear for which the official figures are
valuable, the total imports OF foreign
claws to this country were valued at
S"1.154.SO5, while the domestic clays
produced were valued at S2,061,072.
Since the country possesses unus-
ually fine clay bodies, a great many
of which up to the present time await
development, any stimulation OF IN
terest among the people 10 develop
our native clays must be OF great
value

"Mnnufactur4s" at SorOsis.

The meeting of Sorosls at the library
parlors, last tuesday evening was de-
voted to the study Of the manufacture
of many articles thst are largely used or
consumed in this country, some Of
which are extensively produced In
Skowhegan establishments. The pro-
gram consisted of a paper on THE
Manufac lure of Worsted Goods in Our
Own Town" by Miss Edith Gledhill;
The Art of Making Pulp" Mrs. Edith
Philbrick; THE Art of Making Oil
cloths Mrs. Mary Colby. Following
the original papers the president an
nounced short selections on other H.
dustries, and pieces were read by Mrs.
helen {. Wing on the manufacture OF
Gold Leaf; by Mrs Vivian Woodbury.
on the manufacture of Postage stamps;
by Mrs A. b. Bailey ON the making of
Glue; by Mrs Bessie Lambert on the
making of Pencils; Miss Elizabeth Webb
on the manufacture of Beads; Mrs.
Alice Matson on making and burning
OF Bricks; Mrs. Maud Jewett on the
manufacture of Scrub Brushes.
The evening was designed to furnish
useful Information about materials of
every day use and in this way proved
vely profitable and interesting. The
club was siDgularly fortunate in num-
beriDg among its members ladies who
had unusual opportunity for obtaining
information about the three leading
subjects Miss Edith Gledhill is the
sister of Edwin Gledhill, manager of the
! Marston mills, and is accountant in the
office of the Maine Spinning Co. and
therefore has most complete knowledge
of yarns and fabrics; Mrs Philbrick had
the opportunity of learning every detail
of the pulp industry from her husband,
! Mr.. +. X. Philbrick who was connected
with the business for twelve years as
uperintendent of the new mill now
owned by the Riverside Pulp company;
and Mrs. Mary Colby is the niece OF
Chas. Nj. Bailey OF ~ inthrop, the princi-
pal owner in the largest and Oldest OIL
| cloth firms in the country and the
| daughter of " IN p. Bailey whose bust
| ness career has been connected with the
same corporation.
/ 1t is not likely that any literary club
in Maine would have access to as com
petent authority on these important
manufactures.
Preceding the literary program the
members were entertained with piano
solo by Miss Margery Morrison and dur
ing the evening Mrs Georgia simpson
rendered a vocal selection to which piano
accompaniment was played by Miss
Mary Burrill. The hostesses were Mrs.
Georgia " ison and Mrs Annie Hackett
and the evenings program was arranged

Stiff Sentences By Judge HerveY

ces were repeated. Court adjourn
ed until this morning.
1t comes from good authority
that the State Tax Collector will
endeavOr to have Judge Hervey
call special session of the grand
jury before the present term of
Circuit Court, now in session at
Moundsville aijourns, to investi-
gate a certain class of cases that
appears to have escaped the atten-
tion Of the late grand jury, prob
ably owing to many alleged viola
tions of the law on the part of the
brewing companies that deman-
ded it's attention.
The Moundsville Echo in speak
ing of the mater of indictments,
has the following to say:
"The big batch of indictments
returned by the grand jury is a
bigger proposition than people can
realize.
"Under the law, these indict-
ments connot be dismissed, but a
trial must be had of each one.
"Now. not more than four can
he tried in one day. Therefore it
will take 1900 days to try them.
Under the law, the circuit court
cannot set in Marshall county
more than, say, $50 days in a year.
Therefore, if the court does moth
lin else than try these indictments
it will take ten years to do so.
And the defendants can claim
jury trial in each case. There
fore. it will take 1900 juries to
try them at a cost of at least $l5O,-
600. The defendants can affect
all Of the above.
"It seems to an observer as
tho the prosecuting attorney will
be an old man before he comes In
to possession Of that 100000.

Dayton's plurality of 345 last No

property upon which corporations
