Received Two Bullets From Ambush While Escorting Lady Home. Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 19.—Rev. Frank Lomack, pastor of the First African Baptist church, will probably die as the result of bullet wounds received at the hands of A. L. McKinney last night, while escorting Mrs. Sophia Taylor home from the opera. McKinney sprang from a clump of bushes and opened the duel, Lomack replying with four ineffectual shots. McKinney is under arrest. He had sought the hand of Mrs. Taylor and was jealous of Lomack. IDAHO SPRINGS. IDAHO. (Special to New Age.) Soda Springs, a little city in the center of a great meadow upon which cattle graze continually, and surrounded by beautiful mountains on either side, with its lovely mineral springs, is the place where one claims, the air as their own upon which to soar their thoughts in praise and thankfulness to Him who created all the beauties of nature. It was here where I had the pleasure of spending last Sunday. Mr. Willikes G. Bonner is spending the summer here. Mr. T. B. Jenkins, formerly chef cook on the Union Pacific dining car, in company with his wife, has charge of the "Idaho hotel kitchen." This is their second summer. The Idaho is a beautiful hotel, excellently furnished from top to bottom with large store room and ice houses attached. Mr. T. B. Jenkins, the chef, is a master of his profession and Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Woodall, the proprietress thinks their house incomplete with out him and his wife. Among the things that will be long remembered is the hospitality show me by Mrs. Woodall, and the cordial welcome I received from Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins. POCATELLO NOTES. In passing through Pocatello I found many things of interest to our people of which I have time to write only a few items. Work is good and good colored men that will stay in is demand, and I am glad to say that quite a new men with their families are coming in with the intention of making Pocatello their future home; a thing that more ought to do. If you have no family, get one. Noticing we had no letter from Pocatello for two or three weeks, I inquired after our correspondent, Mr. Wagner, and round he had been confined to his bed for more than two weeks with a severe attack of pneumonia. His many friends will be glad to know that he is up and around again. Miss Hays, who recently came from Dawson, N. W. T., where she spent several months, speaks very highly of the country, but says "there is no place like home." From all appearances Miss Hays has a treasure in Pocatello and it is not gold, silver non diamonds. DOPE BOOK. The familiar face and portly figure of Colonel Jim Collins is missed from his usual haunts down town. His cheery laugh and bright smile is no longer seen down town setting the pace. There are many conjectures as to the cause. It is rumored that if you pass by his residence at night you see a nocturnal shadow saying "Come on, come on;" then favorite "Silver Dick" lost by five lengths. One of his friends with musical inclinations is composing a song. He is no longer able to sport since "Silver Dick" lost. BUTTE, MONTANA, SATURDAY. AUGUST 23, 1902. UNITE MEN OF COLOR A CO-OPERATIVE LEAGUE MAY BE FORMED IN HELENA. ELEVATE A RACE. WANT COLORED PEOPLE TO BUY HOMES AND GAIN EDUCATION. (Special to the New Age.) The Colored Cooperative league may be started in Spokane within the next few weeks. Already several people have been approached upon this matter, and it is expected now that Rev. J. D. Pettigrew, a colored evangelist, who has been working at Seattle to form such a league, will be in Spokane to complete his work in this direction. Mr. Pettigrew was in this city during the early part of the year, with the intention of forming such an organization. He visited Rev. J. B. Beckham, Rev. J. S. Payne, Charles Ryan, Mr. Stokes, D. A. Johnson and other leading colored men of Spokane, with the result that he made up his mind to call a mass meeting of the colored citizens of Spokane to form this league. Just at that time, however, he was taken sick, and had to give up the project before completing his work. A few days ago Rev. J. S. Beckham received a letter from Mr. Pettigrew asking if the field here was as ready for such a movement as it was when he was taken sick. Mr. Beckham encouraged him to come on and complete this work, as he believed that such a movement would still be favorable to the interests of the colored people of the city. Mr. Beckham expects that Mr. Pettigrew may be in Spokane in a few days, or weeks, at most. When Mr. Beckham was seen this morning concerning the movement, he said: "I had t letter from him last week asking if I thought an organization of this kind could be effected in this city now, and if the outlook was as favorable as it was when he left the city. I think that the majority of the colored people of this city would favor a movement of this kind. I understand that there are about 700 colored people in Spokane." **Purpose of the Order.** The purpose of the movement fostered by Mr. Pettigrew are outlined as follows: 1. To cultivate, foster and perpetuate at all hazards, the spirit of union in the race, as a vital race necessity. 2. To promote business enterprises among his people. 3. To encourage his people to buy homes, take up homestead claims, buy farms in the country, and become owners of the soil; thereby laying a foundation for their families' future, and giving their boys and girls a chance in the race of life. 4. To improve the educational condition of his race in the west, by urging upon them everywhere, to keep their children faithfully in attendance of school; and by pushing them through the high schools. 5. To help keep the race at work by training a faithful and reliable class of men and women as desirable help. 6. To help the women of his race to realize their important place in the elevation of his people; and to encourage them to put their influences to work in the formation and development of mothers' meetings, kinergartens, industrial classes for girls, and such other work as naturally fall to women in their efforts at race elevation and preservation. SPOKANE. Spokane, Aug. 15, 1902. Special to the New Age. special event of the week was the reception given by Mrs. Huston on Thursday evening, the 14th, it being the occasion of her husband, Sargeant Huston's birthday. There were about fifty guests present, representing the beauty and talent of Spokane society. The Huston's own a lovely home Gardens Springs, about three miles from the city. Being a cloudy night one could not see all of the surrounding, only that it was beautifully situated among trees and growing vines. The interior presented a beautiful appearance, being lavishly decorated with flowers on the piano, and tables. Music was furnished by different ladies, for those who cared to indulge in the dreamy waltz or the maze two step. Those who did not indulge in this pastime promenaded or held teteetes on the spacious veranda, or in the lovely parlor. Champagne punch was served at intervals. About 12 o'clock luncheon was served, which consisted of rolls, chicken croquettes. green peas and tomato with lettuce, and mayonnaise, after which came sherbet and cake, black coffee. About 1:30 the guests took their de- partment after thanking the host and hostess for a delightful evening. Mr. Clark has taken Charge of the Country club. Mr. Harris and Mr. Boggle, Sr., of Walla Walla, have been visiting in the city for a few days. Mr. Hill Lawrence is visiting in the city for a few days, he expects to run between Spokane and Seattle. Mr. Darnell, entertained Mrs. Owens and Mrs. Smith at dinner at Wilson's grill last Wednesday evening. Peter Way was given a gold ring for being the handsomest colored baby at the baby show. Mr. Darnell, who has been living in this city for some time, will return to his former home, Helena, in a few days. Mr. and Mrs. Martin, who have been running the Country club for some time, accepted a position in Helena. Miss Minnie Brown, who is visiting in Kaslo, B. C., has written that she will not return until next Thursday much to the disappointment of her friends, who expected her home this Saturday. Mr. Wallace, of Walla Walla, gave a very entertaining and instructive lecture at the Baptist church last Sunday evening. Mr. Harris is a minister, but for several years has not had a church. He has a position in the U. S. Land office at Walla Walla. SALT LAKE CITY. Mrs. Perkins and Miss Blanche Flake went to Idaho Falls this week. The Calvery Baptist church served meals last week and did well. The interest of the popee is turned to a rumor of a quiet wedding to be in the very near future. Mrs. Thurman is on the sick list this week. Joy came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Perkins last Saturday night with a bouncing baby girl. It weighed nine pounds. Mother and baby are doing well. Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Washington spent last Saturday afternoon with Mrs. A. Thompson, 325 Thirteenth street east. She is delighted to see her friends since she returned from the hospital. Mrs. Lizzie Simmons is improving sowly. Mrs. Willis Green and her two lady friends, of Pueblo, Colo., are stopping with Mrs. B. F. McIntyre, 358 West Second south. Mr. Willie Clark is doing nicely at St. Mark's hospital; but to have his friends call often helps him to improve. Mr. E. D. Washington is in Boise, Idaho, this week. Mr. L. Johnson has favored us with his subscription for the New Age for which we take pleasure in thanking Mr. Johnson. Mrs. Roberson, an evadgelist from Guthrie, Oaklahoma, is here attending the Seventh Day Adventist camp meeting, and spoke at the Trinity A. M. E. church last Sunday night. GREAT FALLS NOTES.

OUR POLITICAL POT. The New Age desires to extend its thanks to the leading colored politicians of the state for their sanction of our efforts towards perfecting a strong political organization which will act in a concerted manner the state over. We shall endeavor to add an extra page to our paper in order to better and fully put before our people the political issues and interests involved in the campaign and those to whom we deem the organization should extend its support. This is the campaign for the colored voter to make himself felt and felt strongly in the district districts. Locally the negro voter should not be wedded to any party nor this organization水werved to the interests of any clique of politicians, but supporting those interests which, after due consideration, we deem expedient and wise for our own benefit and the benefit of the state at large. With the rumors which are current of the various candidates who will seek office at the graces of the political voters of Silver Bow county we have hear one each mentioned for the office of state senator and county attorney respectively, who we sincerely hope will enter the race for nomination and be nominated. The colored voters will rally to the support of young men who have evinced a practical interest in the welfare of the colored people, who have broad minds; who employ them and encourage them. Supporting solidly the race friends, we'll make other friends. We are strong enough in Helena Butte and Anaconda to demonstrate a strong political power and our efforts from now on until election day will be towards perfecting our temporary or organization in these cities. "PREJUDICE, THE CHILD OF IQ NORANCE." By Nora E. Hulings Siegel, Denver, Colorado. An article by Ellis Meredith in "The Rocky Mountain News," Denver, August 17th, says, quoting Commissioner Lacy, of North Carolina, in advocating the abolition of child labor, he says: "Some restrictive measures must be passed in the near future or the constitutional amendment will disfranchise the white man, while permitting the Negro to vote. The white boy, compelled to labor in the mills is deprived of an education, while the colored children who are not permitted to work in the mills are going to school. Mr. Lacy believes that influence of the mill owners will be strong enough to prevent any child labor for a time, but is confident that the people will insist on the passage of such a law before many years. Verily! "Your sins shall find you out." Nothing more nor less than prejudice begotten of ignorance causes the white industrial slave of the South to hate the once chattel slave to the extent that he will not work along side of him. Those innocent of the cause are being benefitted by it just the same. Why the white laboring class should hold such animosity toward their colored brothers as they do I am sure not one could give a plausible reason. It is lamentable, but true, the same feeling extends through the North and West, but to a much less degree. Yes, the Negro should feel encouraged for by the time white laborers get their eyes open to the fact that they have been "cutting off their own noses," the Negro will have arisen to that educational stand where he will be on an intelligent footing with, if not beyond, that of his white brother, where he will make rapid strides toward influence and affluence in the social scale. Mark my word! The future of this country belongs to the Mulatto! The white race has had its day. Through cruelty and selfishness they have succeeded in exterminating the real North Americans, the Indians, but the Negro by the grace of the inate good within him is holding his own. He is naturally progressive in the passive and only true way, where the Indian is quarrelsome, his love nature is surpassingly wonderful as you will note if you care to take the trouble to do so. With all the suffering and huml- llation be endured and is enduring his patience and forbearance has not been crushed out of him. The white race owe him a debt and hate him accordingly, but while they are hating and seemingly displacing his so far as the opportunity for earning a paltry pittence at the labor marts is concerned, they are missing the all important opportunity; that of schooling during youth. Is this not deplorable, and too, "in the land of the free"? But the colored child is making use of it as God (good) intends he shall; and when he does rise in power as is the sure outcome from the law of reciprocity and justice he will not debase his nature by crime and violence as the white races do and have done No! He will be ever merciful. Ominopotence has allowed slavery of the blacks, has allowed the cruelty of the whites all for reasons which time reveals to the thoughtful and possess by the careless. You ask a middle-class white man why it is he hates the Negro? He invariably replys: "Ugh! They are so ignorant and impertinent and strong-smelling!" When you attempt to argue the point in favor of the Negro, such as: "All that is soon overcome; first, educate him; second, cultivate him from the standpoint of love; third, mix his blood with that of the white race and you have a superior being in appearance, in intelligence and in spirituality. But no, he will listen to nothing in reason. His prejudice blinds his sight to the fact that the Negro towels, little Mabel and Ray Williams; the charm of the splendid collection, is equally a child of God (good)." Note the progress he has made in the thirty-five years of comparative freedom. Note with what ease he has populated his country. The Negro woman passes through the periods of gestation with little or no suffering in comparison with her white sister. All this will count for worth in race problem for the upbuilding of a nation later on. "The mills of the Gods grind slowly and they grind exceedingly small." When a person reasons from the plane of the unregenerate mind he looses sight of many things, but when he has progressed into the realm of love, regenerate mind, he sees good in all things. God (good) will not wait always. Persons endowed with intelligence are expected to use it, not merely in part, but all, and by using gain more. He is not to use it for selfish purposes, but for the good of all within reach. This is the law of reciprocity. It does me good to read reports from such as Brother Booker T. Washington. There is never one bit of resentment in his feeling toward the white people. His appeals are worded in perfect love. He knows whereof he stands and that no one can afford to harbor ill will even toward those who use them wrong. "As you sow so shall you reap." I love my own race, therefore feel keenly their lack of appreciation in right directions of the grand opportunities with which love, God has indorsed them. That they should belittle their Godhood by the use they are putting it to in many directions, when they might use it so grandly. When the women get their eyes open to many things which they have yet to learn they will make strides rapidly toward alleviating the injustice done the Negro. When they get tired of working in politics they will turn their attention toward some thing containing heart. Politics is cold and unfeeling. Women will not work in it long. It does not suit their mother-love nature. Educate! Educate! The more education the less law. The less law, the less politics. Go into the law-courts and listen to the chicanery used in the conducting of a trial. Do you suppose that that thing will go on always? No! The courts are doing themselves out. Persons of ordinary honor and intelligence do not use them now, and when all people grow to that plane of intelligence, which all of these unintelligent things are bringing about, divorce and criminal courts, etc., will not be needed. Co-operation, brotherly love is nature's consequence. All creatures upon the earth seem to understand and make use of it better than man. He with his superior endowment, soul, thinks to outwit nature only in building up a nation so far, like "Bonny Bairne's Castle," then lo! the fall! He forgets his responsibility is God given and proceeds to defend his rights like devils would. His rights? Yes, that is what he terms it. As if any thing belonged to individuals? As if all creatures were not God's, (goods) even from the greatest to the least; and as if the strongest were not expected to assist the least. Read "The Rise and Fall of Empires." What is man's soul any way? Is it a gift of divinity for the purpose of assisting man to do out his brother in material things? Oh, no! It is that part of man's understanding whereby he may appreciate love, God, divinity. The soul grows unto God, (good) as the man's desire develops through the process of right thinking unto God. Therefore, right thinking should be cultivated for thought is the mediato THE NEW AGE. between body and soul; and, "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he." If he thinks beautiful thoughts he grows beautiful. in soul; if he thinks bad thoughts he heights his soul and his body grows ugly. If the white people hold thoughts of hatred toward the colored people they grow hateful themselves and unlike God (good.) While they do not harm the Negro, the Negro in the mean time is using his own thoughts in loving the white man, which "heaps coals of fire upon the white man's head." Educate! Educate! Dispel ignorance. This is the only means whereby this weighty problem may be solved. Educated people will not be entertained by trivial things. Educated people can not be hoodwinked and humbugged. Educated men and women appreciate the best and will have none of any thing short of it. It is the ignorant, narrow-minded person who loves gossip and slander and has time for hatred. Therefore educate. THE PLEASURES AND EXPERI ENCES OF A TRIP TO THE YUKON GOLD FIELDS. LUXURIES OF TRAVEL VIA THE WHITE PASS & YUKON ROUTE Had any seer predicted a few years ago that hundreds of people would today be taking pleasure and recreational trips to the arctic circle with all the luxuries and conveniences of travel, he would have been classed as possessing a fanatical imagination, or a Utopian dreamer of the highest degree. Yet for the business man seeking rest and recreation from the turmoil and struggle of business cares, or the tourist desiring a trip replete with wonders of natures art, incident of exciting and extraordinary interest, or the jolly fellow of the world in quest of a high time different from the general rut, can each find the acme of his desire by a summer trip via the key to the Klondike, the Yukon & White Pass route to the metropolis of the gold fields, Dawson. I experienced the privilege as well as the pleasure of accompanying my employer, Mr. F. A. Heinze, and Mr. E. L. Whitmore, upon a trip of a month traveling over 4,000 miles—by all manner of conveyances, ships, Indian couves, private cars, dog teams and pack horses and "mushing" in a term applied to that kind of traveling you do with your own propellers and while a limited newspaper article cannot describe (it would take a book to do that) in detail all of the trip, I shall endeavor to give a brief description of some of the most noted things of interest. Leaving that lively rendezvous of the Nome and Klondike gold seeker, as well as the shipping metropolis of the Pacific and Arctic ocean, Seattle, the 26 of July, the gang plank was pulled on board of the floating palace of the Pacific Coast Steamship company, the Cottage City, the usual familiar bon voyage scenes took place and we steamed out into the straight of Juan De Fuca and a delightful ride of eight hours, we touched at Victoria on Vancouver island and took in the sights of the Pacific English metropolis, where the English style of architecture predominated over which everywhere one sees the British flag. Here is one of the finest state'y group of buildings on the continent, the Parliament buildings, which are built upon a commanding hill with very beautiful grounds and a public park on the same tract. Here one also sees, with leisure time on hand, strolls into the Chinese section and it is stated there resides the greatest Boss Chinese smuggler in the world, who has made a fortune smuggling the almond-eyed oriental into the United States. Here everybody stays on land long until after the time of the half-hour whistle has almost expired because you now begin a water trip of 600 miles without a stop and you leave behind the common-place thing of out civilization. Steaming into the Gulf of Georgia one has a smooth, delightful trip, as you are protected on both sides by land, one catches a glimpse here and there on the beautiful little island, summer homes, fishers' club houses and a few private yachts. Farther as your ship smoothly glides along you leave such evidences of the rich, most luxuries, until the only glimpses of habitation are a lumber camp and light houses with their high towers in which at all times at night beams the danger light of warning to marines to keep in his course and not come near. After passing this Johnstone Straights we meet the first touch of the ocean swells, and it was very amusing to see as our ship was tossee here and there upon the billow waves, to see the passengers getting off of the deck, running to their state rooms and begin to involuntarily feed the fish and incidentally get them fat for the whales. I ate some lemons and incidentally, with great difficulty managed to drink some whiskey, went to sleep and woke in Hecate Straits, past the roghtes portion (I would recommend this to my New Age friends as an anecdote for sea-sickness), where, upon awakening I went up on deck and found Mr. Heinze and Mr. Whitmore intensely interested in one of the greatest sights I have ever seen. Here and there around us one saw the majestic king of the sea, the whale spouting and feeding. Some of them were within a hundred yards of our ship, and with their enormous fins as large as the sail of a boat, and their huge tails in the air as they would dive, only to reappear at another points spouting geysers of water into the air, is one of the greatest sights of the 600-mile water trip Dixson entrance and Milbank Sound—beware of them. Here the ocean waves roll highest and lashed the vessel angrily. "My desire to again set foot solid on terri firma was finally rewarded early one morning as I was awakened by the jar of the ship landing at a warf, and as I hurriedly went ashore at Ketchican, Alaska, I almost though I was in another world—for here, and at Wrangle one sees the environment of the Alaska Indian as he is. The huge Totem poles—many of them fifty and nearly 100 feet high—and five and ten feet thick, which are elaborately carved, at the top of which you find the carved image of a fish or a crow, or a hawk, the whole pole carvings died with the natural dyes which the Indians make from herbs. They are erected in every village and some are historic, which are thus handed down from father to son, others are in commemoration of battles and victorious deeds of particular exhibitions of virtue or bravery, etc. Here we received our first solicitation from the Alaska Indian vender of baskets, slippers and trinkets of all kinds, and many interesting curios, which are marvels of their peculiar type of art and work. When one pulls away from Ketchicon the picturesque and interesting part of the trip begins. Here the great artist of nature's wonders, in the geological evolution of our earth has created some of its greatest splendors.. As the ship wends away through the tortuous Wrangel narrows, which are extremely dangerous, one sees the snow-capped mountains the summit all snow, the bases one green mass of the verdure of the frozen north. In the distance at various points there are huge glaciers; then again along the banks we passed large salmon canning factories, Indian villages with their host of dogs and great canoes. Some of these huge canoes made out of the skins of animals, which the Indian braves in their hunts bring home as trophies of their prowess. Some are chiseled out of the huge trees of the forest. One passes by numbers of these canoes, some loaded with salmon, others going for the catch. So great is the variety of secnery and incidents that there was not a dull moment to Skagway. The next stop one reaches is Jueano, and Douglass island. On the latter island we stopped and visited the great Treadwell gold mine, one of the great gold producing properties of the world. Here, for the insessant pounding of the stamps and the blasting of the ormakes a deafening noise. The ore is of a very low grade; some of it only averaging'$200 a ton. But there is a mountain of it, where, in the large hole out of which they are now blasting called Glory Hole, because of the numerous accidents which usually render the unfortunate victims towards glory above. Skagway, which we reached after five days on water, is the main shipping point of Alaska, and was at the height of the gold rush a lively town, as this was the point from which the trails led to Klondike. At present the main support of the town is the shops of the Yukon & White Pass road, and the tourists who pass through going on the inside of the British line and others coming out of the Yukon territory. Here, as the guests of Mr. Groves and Mr. Newell respectively, president and vice president of the Yukon & White Pass railroad. Occupying their private car we began our trip over the marvelous White Pass road. I shall write up the road and our trip to Dawson for the next issue of the Age, when, by that time I expect to be home. Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Aug. 11. The host of Montana friends of Mr. and Mrs. George Rideout will be glad to learn that they are doing well in Dawson. Mrs. Rideout is almost a "sourdough," while George is the youngest colored checholken of the city, and they are both a valuable acquisition to any community. They have our best wishes for a great success in the metropolis of the far frozen north. I had the pleasure of dining with them.

THE NEW AGE Ice Clips From the Glaciers of the Frozen North. We must certainly take off our hats to the jolly boys of Dawson. It has been my opportunity to visit the most of the leading cities of this country and without an attempt at exaggeration—there is a higher average of high-class gentlemenly, jolly good fellows in Dawson than it has ever been our pleasure to meet. They took me in charge upon my arrival and extended me courtesies and gave me pleasure, which were so great, and such a good time that I shall ever have a grateful and pleasant memory of the happy days I spent there, and the many unprecedented god times accorded the new "checholker" from Montana. Every privilege of public accommodation is accorded the negro citizen that British territory, the bigotted and narrow prejudiced spirit evinced in the U. S. is nowhere in evidence, and it can be said to the vast credit of the boys, that with the best and finest public accommodations open to them, the ping-pong clubs, saloons, etc., that they have so conducted themselves—as to evince and demonstrate that the negro is a valuable factor in any commonwealth, and no one has complained because of the extension of these privileges. But w have more to say of this phase elsewhere. Among the enterprising colored citizens of Dawson it will interest Montana people to know that: Col. "Smoothy" Burnett is still the same old war horse he was in Montana and has a very nice barbershop in Dawson. Williams & Burn White have a very fine shop and extended their regards to their Montana friends. M. L. Scury, of Vancouver, is now engaged also in extending the art found in his tonsorial parlor for Dawson nuggets. Mr. Dick Scofell sent his regards to several Butte friends. He is a rather young "sourdough," and the charming fellow has not yet accustomed himself to the Dawson pace. The Dawson pace entry seems to be Messrs. Joe Wilds and Bob Miles. Entered in any race in the country they would carry our money for place and win. They have all established colored records for fast travelling. Mr. Joe Wilds has the most prominent and best job in the city at the Monte Carlo saloon, leading saloon of Dawson. Not having had an opportunity of saying good-bye to our friend, Mr. Miles, we now do so, with the hope that he will be seen during the winter. The Kentucky Kitchen is one of the most creditable exhibition of colored pioneer push and business tact. It is among the most popular of Dawson's restaurants. Mr. Berwright, chef of the steamer La France, is one of the most popular steamboat men of the Yukon river. His boat holds the record for the fastest run from Whitehorse to Dawson. Mr. George Paine is probably the most northerly representative of the colored car porters in the world. He has charge of the private car of the officials of the White Pass and Yukon road, and aside from at times he is in sight of the arctic circle up in the clouds at the summit of his road. POCATELLO NOTES. Pocatello, Idaho, AUG. 23.—Special to the New Age.—Owing to the illness of our correspondent there have not been any items for the Age for several weeks. Mr. L. N. Owsley has been north on a trip for three weeks. Mrs. G. M. Pearson returned this week from a three weeks' visit to friends in Great Falls, Mont., and reports having a delightful time. Mr. Charles Wagner, our corresp₀ ent, who has been indisposed from the affects of typhoid fever for the past three weeks, is able to be out again. Master Harrie Jordan is confined to his room from the effects of rheumatism. Mrs. Winnie Wagner, of Rock Springs, Wyo., is in the city visiting her son, Mr. Charles Wagner, who was seriously ill for a few weeks. Mrs. G. M. Pearson is seriously ill at her home on Fifth and Lander streets. Kid Rodgers returned a few days ago from Butte, Mont., and states that Pocatello is the best town after all. Mr. Willie Miller arrived in the city from Butte and has accepted a position at the Elk saloon. Mr. William Hammond was on the sick list last week. Mr. Charles Hill was somewhat out of order last week, but we learn trat he is on the road to recovery. Mr. George Floyd made a flying trip to Rock Springs, Wyo., this week. The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Riddley extend sympathy in this, their sad hour of bereavement. Miss Ellen Pearson is in the city visiting her brother and sister. Mr. Charles H. Wagner and Miss Norine Griswold are expecting to attend the state academy this fall. You must have courage, my boy. No matter what band of circumstances array themselves against you. If your purpose is right you will succeed. Life is a beautiful thing. The chance to fight is a great blessing. No matter how hard the situation may seem, keep on doing right, bravely face the future, set your standard high, work and wait, be patient and thankful, and you will win. You may never be rich as the world goes—not rich in money or rich in power—but you may be rich in the knowledge of the truth that you have made the best of your chance to be a man. Don't set your standard by the men who have achieved great wealth. That is nothing compared to the riches that belong to him who has struggled to enlarge and ennoble the circle of life in which he is cast. -Schoolmaster. Fire Superstitions. "If a fire does not burn well," says the old household superstition, "and you want it to draw, you should set the poker across the top bar of the grate." This is supposed to placate the gnomes, whom it was formerly believed were very jealous of the robbery of their underground country of its coal treasures and were very apt to take their vengeance out in preventing the fire from burning. It was the mystic form of the cross thus made which was supposed to drive them away. Nevertheless it would not do to use the shovel in this charm or the fire would be sure to go out. An Adroit Answer The celebrated physician Zimmerman attended Frederick the Great in his last illness. One day, as the story is recorded in "Salad For the Social," the king said to him: "You have, I presume, helped many a man into a another world." This was rather an unexpected thrust for the doctor, but the dose he gave the king in return was a judicious mixture of truth and flattery: "Not so many as your majesty nor with so much honor to myself." A Man and His Heart. Once upon a time there was a rich old man who had a heart so weak that its faint beatings could hardly be heard; yet, in the metaphor of our time, that same heart was filled with love for a fair lady. The lady heard of her wooer's physical and financial condition and looked upon his suit with extreme favor. The result was that they were married. Moral.—Faint heart sometimes wins fair lady.—New York Herald. Advice. "What would you say," began the voluble prophet of woe. "If I were to tell you that in a very short space of time all the rivers of this country would dry up? "I would say," replied the patient man, "Go thou and do likewise."—Boston Christian Register. Gently crack the shell of the whelk, for you will find it almost impossible to extract the occupant alive otherwise, and you will see what you may be pardoned for supposing a miniature lobster, but which in reality belongs to another distinct species—namely, the hermit crab, Pagurus bernhardus. Whether he has obtained occupancy by force of arms or merely through decease of the original tenant is a moot point, but the first supposition is highly probable, as he is a most belligerent little customer. An amusing scene may be witnessed by placing several hermit shells deprived of their shells in an ordinary soup plate, with a little sea water and some empty shells—fewer shells than crabs. The fighting and struggling to secure houses is ludicrous in the extreme. One may be seen almost successful in mooring himself within a shell, which, by the way, is effected by means of the shelly plates at the extremity of his soft and twisted tail, when another seizes him by the nape of the neck, as it were, and be is dragged reluctantly forth. The evicter still holds him struggling at claws' length, and not until he himself is safely ensconced does he relinquish his grasp—Chambers' Journal. The Relief In a Devil. A maidservant belonging to one of the women's colleges had been out with her lover without leaving from her mistress and was returning late along my road, at the top of which lived the lamented Professor Nettleship. Now, the latter had a large yellow dog that took the usual canine delight in seeing cats scatter and flee, and, the better to pounce on them when they were stealthily crossing the street, he would perch himself on the top of the professor's garden wall, surrounded and half hidden in the foliage. As the truant maidservant passed beneath him he caught sight of a cat in the middle of the road and, making a spring at it, collided with her and knocked her down. She picked herself up and ran screaming, almost mad with terror, because, as she said, the devil had jumped on her back and thrown her down—international Monthly. Have Courage. Advice The Hermit Crab. WE DESIRE TO CALL ATTENTION TO OUR STOCK OF ALSO OUR SILK AND DRESS GOODS COUNTER, AND LADIES' READY-TO-WEAR DEPARTMENT MAIN STREET "Tad" Lincoln. "Tad" Lincoln has long been numbered among the historic boys of America. He was the complete embodiment of animal spirits, a warm hearted, fresh faced youngster, a boisterous, rollicking and absolutely real boy, whose pranks and companionship did much to relieve the tremendous strain his father suffered under while in the White House. "Thousands who never saw the home apartments of that gloomy building," writes Noah Brooks, "knew the tricky sprite that brightened the weary years which Lincoln passed in Washington. His father took great interest in everything that concerned 'Tad', and when the long day's work was done and the little chap had related to the president all that had moved him or had taken up his attention during the daylight hours and had finally fallen asleep under a drowsy cross examination the weary father would turn once more to his desk and work on into the night. Then, shouldering the sleeping child, the man for whom millions of good men and women nightly prayed took his way through the silent corridors and passageways to his boy's bedchamber." This grateful gimpe of the man who bore the sorrows of the nation in his own heart could ill be spared from any account of Lincoln's life in the White House. "Tad" Lincoln did not long survive his father. His death occurred in July, 1871.-Success. His First Dress Sult. He was a very youthful looking man and wore a natty opera hat and a lengthy raglan which caused him to be the cynosure of all eyes in the Arch street trolley car. It was probably the first time that he had ever worn a dress suit, and as he walked into the car his painful embarrassment was noticeable. Many smiles flitted across the passengers' features, and the young fellow noticed each one and blushed deeply. But more trouble was in store. At Seventeenth street two red faced servant girls boarded the car. They crowded into a seat and began to talk volubly. "Yls," said one, "th' misthresse give me a owl wrapper, an' sh"— She paused here as her wandering eye rested on the conspicuous young man in the corner. "Say, Ellen," she said loudly and with a giggle, "how would you like that for a feller?" The young man left the car hurried before it had reached the street where he wished to alight.-Philadelphia Telegraph. How to Lie When Sleeping. The correct posture for sleep is to lie on the right side, with the limbs stretched out to their full length and the arms either straight down by the body or in any comfortable position provided they are not raised above the head. The mouth should be closed, and all the muscles of the body should be relaxed. The lungs work with greater deliberation during the hour of sleep, and if the arms are raised above the head at this time and for any period the action of the heart drives the blood away from the arms and sends it to the head, frequently making one very restless when it does not prevent sleep entirely. A Shreyd Yankee A certain Boston hotel man tells this good story at his own expense: When a small boy on the farm, his folks often sent him to the neighbors to buy a dozen eggs when their hens failed to lay enough. He noticed that the old farmer always held each egg before a lighted candle and examined it carefully. In his innocence of Yankee shrewdness the boy supposed that this was prompted more by honesty and intention to detect whether the eggs were bad or not. One day, however, when he counted his eggs, according to custom, there were only eleven in the basket. With a determination not to be cheated, the lad trudged proudly back to the house and quickly made known his discovery. "Oh," said the old farmer, "that's all right, my boy. One of them has a double roll."-Boston Record. 3 HELENA, MONT. HELENA PACKING AND PROVISION CO. Wholesale Oysters, Fish and Poultry M. M. HENNIGER HELENA . . . . MONTANA Goodkind Bros.

Johnson, who has been working at the Overland club for several months, resigned his position and returned to Helena last Saturday. Mr. Johnson says that high Butte light air mixed with a little smoke is too much for him. Duce Quartet club,consisting of Mr. Wm. Brunsides, Mr. J. D. Yancy, Mr. Frank Pearl, Mr. C. J. Daniels, Mr. C. L. Davis, absent member, Mr. A.Davis, gave Mrs. S. Austin and the family of Rev. J. Allen, a pleasant serenade Gentlemen, come again.

I. Jacobc and Mr. Fletcher went to Columbia gardens after partaking of refreshments, and viewing the beautiful scenery and lovely flowers. The party returned to the city and retired to their respective places or abode after having enjoyed a nice evening's outing. --- Mrs. Jurdon Curd received a telegram from her brother, Mr. Edward Hughes, stating that their father died last Friday evening at his home in Denver, Colo. The New Age extends sympathy to them in their sad beavement. The following ladies visited the Butte & Boston smelters last Monday and were much elated with their trip: Mrs. Laws, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Collins.

Mr. Chris Darsey, our genial editor, arrived from Alaska early last Tuesday morning just in time to entertain Mrs. Owens, of Helena, with a few friends at the excellent quarters of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lawrence. The evening was spent in playing hearts, after which refreshments was served by Mrs. Lawrence. The guests present comprises Mrs. Owens, of Helena, Mrs. J. J. Jacobs, Mr. and Mrs.ena, Mrs. J. I. Jacobs, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence and Messrs. Dorsey, Fletch, er and Spriggs. Mr. Dorsey held the reputation attained by Butte social entertainers up to the standard and an all-round pleasant time was reported by the guests and the gathering was dismissed with a little music and two-step. Mrs. M. Allen of 9 West Porphyry street, gave a grand reception in honor of Mrs. Chas. H. Owens of Helena, who has been visiting in Butte since the inaugural ball, and the guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. Lawrence during her stay Mrs. Allen, the hostess, with the assistance of Mrs. R. Lawrence did the receiving in a very charming manner, and did honor to their positions in entertaining and making all feel welcome. The light fantastic step was indulged in, intermingled with mirth and song. The following songs were sung during the evening: Duett by Mrs. and Miss Nelson and Messrs. J. Yancey and W. H. Springgs. Mrs. Allen, the hostess, with her sweet melodious voice, captivated her guest by singing two of her favorite selections. Mr. J. Fletcher entertained with some of his funny stories of his own origination. Music was under the supervision of Prof. R. Ross. Butte's noted violinist, ably assisted by Butte's favorite pianist, Mrs. Harry Jackson. At 12 o'clock sharp the orchestra played one of Beethoven's marches, which was a signal for all to march to the spacious dining hall. All remained standing during the sumptious repast. Too much praise cannot be given to the artness shown in the decoration of the table and here is where the two charming ladies, who did the receiving, played a part. Smilax and coronations formed a great part of the decoration. Pink and white perdominated among the gowns worn by most of the ladies present. One of the most noticeable features was the serving or the club house sandwiches which everyone was neatly tied by lit the pink ribbon, whilst the guest was THE NEW AGE. doing justice to the inner man speechmaking became in order, Mr. W. H. Spriggs acting as toast master. The following gentlemen responded: Mr. J. Yancey, F. Golden, R. Ross, Mr. J. Fleetcher in very flitting remarks spoke of the high esteem of both the hostess and guest, Mrs. Chas, H. Owens responded to the toast, showing her appreciation or the hospitality extended to her by her closest friends during her stay in Butte, which brought forth great applause, after three cheers for the honored guest and hostess. The guests marched to the sweet strains of the music back to the parlor, where dancing was once more indulged in until the wee small hours in the morning, when all paid respects to the departing guest, and hostess. Departed for home to dream of the beauty and gafety they had just a few hours ago looked upon. Mrs. Chas, H. Owens left Wednesday morning, 20th inst., for the capital city much to the regret of her friends, where she will remain for an indefinite period, until a message from her husband, Quartermaster C. H. Owens, who is now in Philippines, in the service of Uncle Sam, tells her to join him there. May her journey there and back be a pleasant and safe one. The following invited guests were present: Mrs. Chas. Owens, Mrs. M. Allen, Mrs. A. Nelson, Mrs. C. Lewis, Mrs. H. Jackson, Mrs. B. Miller, Miss Ida Nelson, Mr. and Mrs. J. Vass, Mr. and Mrs. R. Lawrence, Mr. and Mrs. J. Ross, Mrs. J. M. Tate; Messrs. J. Yancey, J. Fletcher, W. H. Spriggs, F. Golden, R. H. Augustus. Pretty nearly every one has seen the curious "sea ruffles," or "sea necklaces," which are found plentifully on ocean beaches. These are the egg cases of the sea snails. They consist of a number of small disk shaped envelopes attached along a sort of stem, the biggest of them being in the middle. In each envelope there is a little spot of thinner material, which the young break through when they are ready to be hatched. When the female gasteropod is about to lay, she buries herself in the sand, from the surface of which the "necklace" of eggs is gradually extruded. Being thus set adrift and exposed to the elements, as well as to devouring enemies, few of the eggs are ever hatched, but those which do come into the world safely and survive doubtless live to a very great age. Mexico possesses a curious physical formation. Rising rapidly by a succession of terraces from the low, sandy coasts on the east and west, it culminates in a central plateau, running in a northwesterly and southeasterly direction and having an elevation varying from 4,000 to 8,000 feet above the sea. High above this plateau tower the snow capped crests of several volcanoes, most of which are extinct. Ten of them are over 12,000 feet in height, and three look down upon fertile valleys from altitudes of 17,782, 17,356 and 16,000. These are Popocatapetl, Orizaba and Ixiacchuallt. The Voice of Experience. Young Father—I've just made a big deposit in a savings bank in trust for my baby boy. When he is twenty-one, I will hand him the bankbook, tell him the amount of the original deposit and let him see how things count up at compound interest. Old Gentleman—Won't pay. I tried that. My boy drew the money and got married with it, and now I've got to support him and his wife and eight children. Cheese. Cheese may generally be classified as hard and soft, and the different varieties are obtained by varying the proportions of cream. When made of cream alone and at a low temperature with little pressure, we have the soft or cream cheeses. These must be used while comparatively fresh, as they soon decompose and become rancid. Ptolemy Philopater possessed a nuptial yacht, the Thalamegon, 312 feet long and 45 feet deep. A graceful gallery supported by curiously carved columns ran round the vessel, and within were temples of Venus and of Bacchus. Her masts were 100 feet high, and her sails and cordage of royal purple hue. A Mutton Chop. Before cooking a mutton chop for an invalid plunge the meat into boiling water for about two minutes. By doing so the albumen in the meat forms a white covering on the outside and prevents the gravy from running out during the process of cooking. The word "woebelegone" is an interesting survival of the far past. "Begone" here represents the past participle of the Anglo-Saxon verb "began," to go round about, a word which has otherwise entirely disappeared from our vocabulary, but which has its analogies in such verbs as "beset" and "begrid," in which the prefix "be" represents the modern preposition "by." A woebelegone countenance is thus that of a man compassed about with woe, though perhaps it is most generally used in a somewhat slighting manner to imply that the appearance of grief is greater than the circumstances warrant. Thus it has partially undergone the same process of degeneration which has made "maudil tears" - original tears of penitence from Mary Magdalene - bear a contemptuous meaning. Sea Necklaces.

An instance in which a dream was useless in preventing an impending catastrophe is recorded of a daughter of Mrs. Rutherford, at Ederton, the granddaughter of Sir Walter Scott. This lady dreamed more than once that her mother had been murdered by a black servant. She was so much upset by this that she returned home, and, to her great astonishment and not a little to her dismay, she met on entering the house the very black servant she had met in her dream. He had been engaged in her absence. She prevailed upon a gentleman to watch in an adjoining room during the following night. About 3 o'clock in the morning the gentleman heard footsteps on the staircases, came out and met the servant carrying a quantity of coals. Being questioned as to where he was going, he answered confusedly that he was going to mend the mistress' fire, which at 3 o'clock in the morning in the middle of summer was evidently impossible. On further investigation a strong knife was found hidden in the coals. The lady escaped, but the man was subsequently hanged for murder, and before his execution he confessed that he intended to have assassinated Mrs. Rutherford. A Dazed Porter: Scene—Pulman car entering St. Louis. Porter obsequiously whisk-brooming woman passenger. After lingering expectantly he receives a tip—a five cent nickel. He looks at it critically, then drops it into the cuspid, remarking defiantly. "Ah'm er portah frum Chicago." "Open this window!" commands the woman. He obeys, whereupon she sbops, picks up the cuspid and empties it upon the track; then, drawing herself up haughtily, observes, "I am a lady from Boston." When in the station every passenger had left the car the porter said to the conductor: "Los' dat nickel, en' Ah'm er fool. It teaches me er lesson, how-somever, never ter fool wid none o' dese Danekee women. Why, der ain't er woman through de whole west who'd er thought o' castin' dat nickel on de rondside when dey knew Ah wanted it"—New York Press. Ugliness at a Premium. Ugelfish at a Premium. In the town of Haschmann, Germany, prizes are offered yearly for the men who will marry the ugliest or the most crippled and to the women over forty who have been jilted at least twice. The money was left by a big financier, and he, realizing that beauty is an attraction hard to overcome, made a provision in his will that out of the income of the fund not less than £10 shall go with the ugliest girl in any year and the cripple shall receive £12. The four women over forty who have been jilted by a lover receive, when the funds will permit, £10 each, but the trustee can vary this amount and at his own discretion offer a larger prize to some one who will marry an unusually ugly girl or one to whom nature has been specially unkind. -Tattler. A Clever Thief. This is how the presence of mind and audacity of a Chicago thief saved him from being locked up: A policeman who recognized him and knew he was "wanted" put him under arrest, with the words, "You are wanted at headquarters." "Yes, I know," replied the thief quickly. "I was arrested last night and was bailed out this morning. You are too slow." "It does look that way," said the crestfallen policeman as he told the thief he could go, of which permission the thief lost no time in availing himself. Later, to his chagrin, the policeman found that the thief had not been previously arrested. The Gilded Man. At the headwaters of the Orinoco Spanish traditions located the land of El Dorado, "the glided man," a potentate whose country was so rich in gold dust that he had his body anointed with oil and sprinkled with gold every morning, so that he shone in the sun as though glided. It is a curious fact that the country in which tradition located this marvelous being has never been explored by a white man. A Slander.
