CATTLE NEED NOT BE TESTED.
The fair association announces that
contrary to notices previously issued an6
published in the premium list, ii will pay
premiums on cattle whether tested fol
tuberculosis or not. The reason for this
change is explained in the following let
ter:
C. S. Snosoman, Sec. Hancock County AgricuI
turat Society, Biuehitl, Maine.
DEAR SIR: There is question in regard tt
the Interpretation of the law relating to thu
testing of cattle to be exhibited at our fairs
and not even the attorney-general woult
give a decision; it is case that would hav,
to be settled by the courts. Under this con
dition we shall not withhold the stipend from
any of our county and local fairs if cattle are
exhibited that have not been tested. But thu
law clearly specifies Bangor, Lewiston ent
Waterville.
l hope you will understand the position
that have taken in the matter, as many O
the exhibitors and breeders OF this Stat'
claim that they never had tuberculosis IL
their herds until they exhibited at the fair
where they had evidence that tuberculous
cattle were exhibited.
Respectfully yours,
J. P. BUCKLEY.

large and attractive sale. The entire par

The house of Michael Shea, on the
eastern road, was burned Sunday night,
shortly after midnight. Mr.. Shea was
| awakened by smoke, and aroused the
family. The house was then filed with
smoke, and the family saved only such
| clothing and small articles as they hastily
caught up. The fire evidently started
around the kitchen chimney. Members
, pt the family who had returned home late
I In the evening, had built up light fire in
| the kitchen to prepare luncheon. An
hour or so later the fire broke out. There
was an insurance Of $500 on the house and
5000 on the furniture.
The service at the Baptist church next
Sunday evening will be conducted by
Nafeed Malouf, OF Mt. Lebanon, Syria.
Mr.. Malouf is the efficient supply at East
lamoine and Marlboro, and has made q
fine impression on the people of those
communities. He speaks English fiuently,
and the service will be more interesting
because he plans to give his address on
| the 23d psalm, sometimes called the
| Shepherd psalm. A native of the land Of
the bible, he will interpret the psalm

IT,. She IL said 10 have been the origi-
nal for her husbands famous type. the
Gibson girl
Whether or not Mrs. Gibson Is, as
some claim. the most beautiful woman
in America. she ranks high lin the list
of Americas beauties. and the atten-
lions which she received from the Con-
naughts mark her US one Of the social
ly elect Not only did Princess Pat
hasten from The assemblage OF nOta-
bles which had gathered to lunch
with her parents at the Whitelaw
Reds in New York. but at every func-
ton which hey graced Mrs. Gibson
was a guest favored by their particular
attention When the C0nnaughts re-
turned to Canada II was to signalixe
their preference for the society Of Mrs.
Gibson by inviting both her and her
husband 10 be their guests at Rideau
Hall. the residence Of the governor gen
eral Of Canada. Such 4 mark OF favor
from the relatives Of the king and
queen Of England would be enough to
add immensely to the prestige Of any
society woman. but the fact that Mrs.
Gibson was popular IN London high So
ciety when she was the guest OF her
sister, Mrs Waldorf Aston. Jr.. gives
her further claim to be considered one
uf the queens OF American society.
As It happens. Mrs. Gibson has no
social ambitions. nor has her husband
the wealth to support the position of
leader az understood by plutocratic
society In New York. She was one OF
the beautiful Langhorne girls Of vir-
ginia and brought no fortune to her
husband. while his earnings. though
very large. do not place him In the mil
lionaire class. The Gibs0ns are sim
ply charming and well bred Ameri-
can couple. without Alterations Of any
sort, and the tribute which royalty
pays Is to the genius Of the husband
and the loneliness Of the. wife. II

Republicans met and named ticket
and adopted platform pronouncing

Jackson had been renominated by his

1880, but the national convention OF

The nomination of Martin Van Buren,
for the vice presidency was due, his

1885. being President Jackson's choice
for successor. He was elected.

The following recipe for 4 nut salad
Is available at this season where bot

bought:

minutes; then small tablespoonful Of
gelatin is stirred In. When removed
from the fire cupful Of shelled and
blanched English walnuts should BE-
added, and it may be set aside In Z

served with border of heart f'let-
tuce leaves and garnished with Eng
fish walnuts.
Clam Salad.-Cook some rice. for
about fifteen minutes, drain. dry in a
cloth and arrange 1t in salad bowl
with mild red or green peppers, which

six steamed CLAIMS for each person.
Trim them and add them to the rice.
Put over them a few FLEETS Of ancho-
vies, season with salt. pepper. mustard
oil and vinegar to taste.
Halibut Salad. For this delicious
dish use hallbut or some other 6rm-
white fish. Cut into neat pieces about

In 1874 the Wings met In Baltimore

The same year the Democrats met in
Baltimore and nominated James K.
Polk Of Tennessee and again adopted
q strict constructionist platform with
an article demanding the reoccupation
Of Oregon and the remuneration of Tex
as. Most Of the delegates had been
pledged to Van Buren,, but be was bit
