Mr. and Mrs. Durham are stopping with Mrs. Caliway on Third South and Franklin avenue. Mrs. Anna Macon is out after a few weeks of illness. Mr. A. Douglas has resumed his position at the postoffice. Mr. Seth Young and Mr. W. A. Wright have changed their run. Mr. Young is now running to Boise and Mr. Wright is running to Butte. Mrs. E. Smith entertained Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Robertson, Mr. and Mrs. Stone at Dutch leuncheon last Tuesday. We are pleased to hear from our friend Mr. George Goodwyn, who is now in Jersey City, N. J., he sends hindest regards to all his friends. We continue to get good news from our friend Mr. W. H. Barker in South America. He speaks highly of the country, and says many favors have been shown him by the natives. Mrs. Stone entertained at her residence, 220 South Third West, last Thursday evening. Miss Florence Seals, Miss Meda Lindsey, Mr. A. Jackson, Mr. A. Douglass, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Robinson. Mrs. M. W. Hodges is a fashionable dress maker.

The progress of the negro in America was the subject of the lecture delivered at the First Methodist church last Monday night by Rev. Saunders, of Leadville, Colo. There was a very good audience, which was about equally divided between white and colored. All who availed themselves of the privilege of listening to the grand and instructive lecture, was highly pleased as well as greatly benefitted and those who did not take advantage of the opportunity missed a great treat. The Trinity choir rendered some very sweet music which reflects much credit upon Professor G. W. Lewis, their instructor, and honor upon the members of the choir. The two solos rendered by Mrs. E. D. Washington brought her many compliments. Rev. Sanders left Tuesday morning for Colorado Springs, Col. HELENA The first annual ball of the Twenty One club, given last Wednesday evening, was the grandest social affair ever given in the state of Montana, and will gon on record and will be referenced in years to come as the apex of social entertaining. Fully fifty couple, the ladies attired in the most exquisite and beautiful gowns, which presented the most charming sight to behold which, of its self, was a pleasure to be seen. The music was furnished by Madam Erick's full orchestra. The dancing commenced promptly as scheduled at 9 o'clock and the merry crowd, which was a veritable sea-pleasure, glided away, forming a mass of resplendent beauty. The order of dances was as follows: 1. Waltz—Greeting ..... Twenty One Club 2. Two Step ..... Simmons 3. Lancers .Fort Harrison Kenoly 4. Schottische ..... Manhattan Club 5. Two Step .....

Some of the gowns worn by the ladies, which we shall attempt to describe, are as follows: Mrs. J. A. Howard, blue chiffon over blue taffeta; Miss Simmons, black silk, jet trimmings, American beauty roses; Mrs. H. Adams, Nile green silk with cream applique; Mrs. F.

Robinson, pink and white grenadine over pink; Miss A. Anderson, white silk with pink and white applique trimming. The gentlemen turned out in their full dress and a word of credit to those gentlemen. it must be confessed, we never have as yet seen such a body of men who presented such a handsome appearance, and the one regret, which we will mention at this time, is that some member of the late Crisenda club was not present, for this would have been a great lesson to them on entertaining visiting friends in the right light. We have no doubt but what they would have been greatly surprised at this grand treat of having everything come gratis. Remember their motto which is "Nunc Aur Mut Nunqu." A DEBATE By Nora E. Hulings Eleger. Subject—"Which attainment is the most conducive to the negroe's happiness, education or wealth?" I reply, most certainly, education is the first thing to be desired (after spiritual poise). An ignorant person can not black boots, which is considered the most menile of occupations, as successfully as an educated one. The education enables enables the man to respect which ennobles his position, thereby placing it upon a higher plane than one of mere servitude. In this discussion, the man who does nite blacking is being considered and not his customer. First class work is now at such a demand that the product of even the most servile of occupations must be finished with art or it will not be acceptable by those who pay for it, who keep it up, else it falls to naught, for only the persons of means can afford to cater to every desire, therefore botchers are at a discount. Machines are so widely used for the manufacture of every conceivable article that hand made goods, except of the best, are not demanded only occasionally and then by the wealthy class who can afford to pay for their production. These machings, however, must be manipulated and the man who does it must learn how, and the man void of education aside from his trade, can not perform his work as well nor with as much satisfaction to all as were he even moderately educated. Without education man is of no use alone but placed in a right relation to all other portions becomes an article of great use; just so with man. But man, unlike a machine, must be capable of doing, or directing, and according to the varied amount of education he possesses, may he be capable of accomplishing this. No one thought is alone. It, like the separate wheel of a machine, in incumbent for use upon all other thoughts in the universe. Man is not only a thinking being but he is a creator, he produces thought as he does the machine and can he, without education, be free and untraveled to do this? No! Education unbinds and enriches thought. Some persons have an idea that education can be obtained only through the medium of high schools and universities. While these institutions are without comparison they are not the only means. A trade is an education in a limited degree and at this stage of the world's progression a man in possession of a good trade is more fortunate, particularly if his mastery be scientifically fostered, than were he possessed of a college diploma, unless the person is unusually talented in some one direction. If so, he is, of course, blessed, for he will succeed in life anyway. An education in our United States is free to all, while the attainment of wealth is not, except in strained exceptions. Through education or even a partial one, with a trade the colored man is enabled to maintain respectability. The furtherance of which the sobriety and industry may terminate in comparative wealth; while without education he could not enjoy wealth if he procured it. I am acquainted with a person who has reached old age, along with the possession of about five hundred thousand dollars worth of property. He is entirely without a collegiate education. He has learned to write his own name in order to sign documents, etc., but further than that he can not go. He can scarcely read. Through his welth he has been enabled to travel a great deal and has Wear Clothes That Fit A man can save money and feel more comfortable by wearing clothes that fit.

Diamonds a Specialty acquired a certain polish and refinement of bearing and address, but his illiteracy he has been like a blotch upon his existence, for he could enjoy nothing well, and the constant fear of his ignorance becoming exposed to the educated class, with which he might mingle, tended to wear holding him among the illiterate, who naturally looked up to him on account of his wealth and excused his ignorance for his money's sake. Because of this blot upon his own life he insisted upon his children receiving an education, but, sorry to relate, only one of them applied himself; the balance are only ordinarily equipped to engage in life's battles. You ask how did he obtain wealth if education is so necessary to its production? Well, he is one of the so-called lucky ones. He made a hit at mining, after he had reached the prime of life. It was then too late, so he had reached the prime of life. It was then too late, so he thought, to connect himself with books, and before then, he, like most other illiterate persons, did not realize the necessity. Ignorance is the only real task-master. With it one is a slave in every conceivable direction. He is as one blind folded and turned loose upon the world to make his way. He does not realize the beauties bestrewing his pathway, because he does not understand them. Man is a thinking creature. He is mental and can only live so far as he thinks. If he does not accept, through thought, all the many attractions in life he is closed away from them and may as well be in another world, nay is, for all the good he derives from them. "He has eyes to see, and sees not; ears to hear, and hears not." He lives in a menagerie of moving, breathing beings and can not appreciate their wonderful structures, because he knows nothing of their his- No. 26. tory and mechanism. He is an automation like them. A dumb creature with the others. I am treating this subject so far from an objective point. All persons are first objective, some of them remain so through life; while only a few come into the subjective mentality. A greater number, perhaps, than those who attain material wealth, but could they all be brought early into a spiritual realization of life, that is, life in its positive fullness, wholeness. They would then not miss the mechanical education so greatly. But they are not; so wisdom through the medium of books is mercifully advised and abetted. By coming into the subjective mentality I do not mean simply getting religion, as our orthodox briathen term the "second birth," for that experience only takes us into the vestibule, as it were, of the positive mind, showing us the door but does not enter us through it, which can only be done by further development. A religion that does not heal disease cannot forgive sins, for the two are inseparable just as Christ taught. But even the spiritual mind can appreciate learning in another, though it be attained intellectually unaccompanied by spirituality. I notice Mr. Booker T. Washington is disclaiming misery in colored ministers, which is a good thing. Taking him as an example, what particular good could he have ever done his race had he remained in ignorance? Of course, all persons may not become philanthropists like Booker Washington, even with education and wealth, but all may fill his own allotted position, which is equal to Mr. Washington's in some phase or calling much better by being versed. Mr. Washington, I understand, (Continued on page four.) WORLD'S NEWS SUMMARY CULLED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.

Victoria, B. C., Dec. 12.—The steamer Shawmut, from Manila, brought news of piracy on the Philippine island coast, the desperadoes being led by an American. The brig Maricau, bound from Catanauan, Payabas, for Manila had beaten up the coast and was beached off Cavite bay. She had as passengers five Chinese merchants who were on their way to Manila to purchase goods. During the night a sloop came alongside and six men climbed over the rail and immediately overpowered the captain and crew, binding all hands with ropes. One of these men was an American, dressed in the garb of an inspector of constabulary. Two of his followers also wore constabulary uniforms and carried revolvers, as did the American. The remaining three Filipinos were armed with bolos. Upon the pirates reaching the deck of the Maricia the leader claimed he was a board of health inspector and intended to search the vessel for arms and ammunition. Instead of doing this, after the crew had been overpowered, the Chinese were brought forth and at the point of drawn revolvers were made to give over their money, about $17,000. Obtaining this, the pirates embarked in their boat again and, heading toward Cavite, threatened to kill all hands on the brig if they did not keep quiet. When the vessel arrived at Manila the customs authorities were informed, but no clue was found to the robbers. MONTANA ITEMS. Scarlet fever is no longer an epidemic in Anaconda. Montana Elks held their annual memorial services last Sunday afternoon. The Montana state board of education has voted unanimously against the proposition to consolidate the state institutions. The report of County Treasurer for the month of November, 1902, shows the finances of Silver Bow county to be in excellent condition.

Clark, Jr., the son of Senator W. A. Clark, the millionaire copper mine owner, has presented his wife with an oriental ruby because their first baby is a son.

It is this baby that will receive a check for a million dollars from Senator Clark the day he is christened as a prize for being his first grandson. Barry Johnstone Died Philadelphia, Dec. 8—After lingering for nearly a week, Barry Johnstone, the actor who a week ago shot himself after killing Kate Hassett, a member of Keith's Bijou theater stock company, died. Death resulted from peritonite. Kate Hassett's murder and Johnstone's suicide were the result of the man's insane jealousy. Miss Hassett in private life was the wife of Everett Bockwith, a business man of Chicago. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Hassett, reside in Aurora, Ill. Lipton Is Delighted. Glasgow.-Sir Thomas Lipton, after an inspection of Shamrock III, said in the course of an interview with a representative of the Associated Press "I am delighted with the extent and nature of the work already done.

Y.-The total vote of the state at the last election has been received by the secretary of state. The figures are: Odell, 665,150; Coler, 656,347. HIS SOUL PASSED TO THE GREAT BEYOND AT WASHINGTON. The immediate Cause of Death Was Uraema—His Wife and Daughter Present at the Death Bed—Mr. Reed was Cheerful During the Last Day—Suffered from Brights Disease. Washington, D. C.—Thomas Brackett Reed, former speaker of the house of representatives, and for many years prominent in public life, died here in his apartments in the Arlington hotel. The immediate cause of death was uraemia. At 9:30 in the morning he was given a subcutaneous saline transfusion in order to stimulate his kidneys, which were failing to perform their proper functions. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon a saline solution was again administered, about three quarts of fluid being used. The heart became weaker and weaker, but the patient retained consciousness until 11 o'clock at night, when a complete coma come on. At the bedside when he died were Mrs. Reed and Miss Katherine Reed, Doctors Gardner, McDonald, Bishop and Goodnow and the nurses. Dr. Goodnow, who had been in consultation with the local physicians, was again summoned from Philadelphia. Mr. Reed's mind was in such a state during the day that he did not realize the seriousness of his condition. He was cheerful and conversed with those about his bedside. When it became apparent that he would not survive his illness, the wife and daughter were notified and they remained constantly at the bedside until the distinguished patient breathed his last. With only a faint hope of saving his life oxygen was administered throughout the day. It was stated that Mr. Reed had been suffering from Bright's disease for some time, which reached the acute stage today, and this furnished an additional cause for alarm. Mr. Reed passed away peacefully and without pain. No arrangements have been made for the funeral. Thoms B. Reed's Career. Born at Portland, Me., October 18, 1830; died at Washington, D. C., December 6, 1902. To be recognized as possible presidential timber early in his career is the worst thing that can befall the public man who has dreams of the distinction of occupying the White House. Such was the state of Thomas Brackett Reed of Maine. He had not served the first session of his first term in congress before he was recognized as presidential timber. Physically, Mr Reed was a large man, big in frame, tall of stature, and heavy in avoirdupois. His head was large and round with a towering forehead, rising to a conspicuous dome where the phrenologist locates the moral organs. His face was in utter contradiction to the rest of his makeup and a contradiction in itself. His nose was significant, denying from the phrenologist's standpoint that purpose which was unquestionably a leading characteristic of the man. But the eyes above it in their blue lights flashed with power and control. The first impression was that the face was infantile, but it quickly passed with study when under the folds of flesh, the square jaw was observed. Altogether his was an impressive personality. In carriage there was dignity without arrogance and an affability which, however, did not invite undue familiarity. Portland, Me.-The news of the death of Thomas B. Reed was received here with universal sorrow. Mr. Reed was born in Portland, was educated in the schools of this city, and here was always his home, as he retained his residence in Portland after he resigned his seat in congress to enter upon the practice of law in New York. Remains Taken to Maine. Washington, Dec. 8.—The remains of the late Thomas Brackett Reed, formerly speaker of the house of representatives, left here Sunday afternoon for Portland, Me., his former home, where the interment will take place on Tuesday afternoon. They were placed aboard a special train, leaving Washington at 4:50 o'clock and running as the second section of the Federal express. Accompanying the body were Mrs. Reed, the widow; Miss Catherine Reed, the former speaker's daughter; Amos L. Allen, Mr. Reed's successor in the house of representatives; Asher G. Hinds, Mr. Reed's parliamentary clerk while speaker, and Augustus G. Payne of New York, a lifelong friend. At. Mr. Reed's request there were no ceremonies of any kind here, and at Portland they will be of a simple character. Gas Well in Montana. Livingston, Mont., Dec. 12.—A natural gas well has been discovered in Coalmeasures, two miles west of this city. The well apparently is of great proportions. The gas is declared by mining men to be of superior quality. To Prosecute. Paris.-The Journal Francais says that Jean de Rydzewski will be prosecuted on a charge of imprudence for causing the death of Mrs. Helen Gore. MANY OF THE MINES IN THE NORTHWEST PROGRESSING. Items of Interest of a Miscellaneous Nature Gathered During the Past Week—New Districts Brought to the Front—Many Mining Accidents and Personals. Recent events have given ground for the belief that the result of the negotiations now in progress on the coal miners' strike will be the ultimate sale of the properties of the individual companies to the large coal carrying companies. This will not be done at once, but it is regarded here as certain to come in the not distant future because it is believed to be the only solution of the present situation and is the outcome which both the independents and the large companies desire. It is estimated that the colleries of the 67 independent operators can be purchased for $145,000,000. These plants produce three tenths of the total output of coal. BRITISH COLUMBIA. The Granby mines at Phoenix will from now on ship 1000 tons daily to their smelter at Grand Forks. The Rio claim's recent strike, which showed 739 ounces silver to the ton, is agitating other owners in the Rambler basin. The Cork mine, near Kaslo, will shortly commence to ship and from present indications the property will prove a bonanza. A 70 foot drift in the Ottawa, Slocan district, shows no break.

Mr. Haines, foreman of the Mammoth mine at Barron, in the Slate Creek district, Washington, was so badly frozen during the recent storm that he can not live. It is learned that a Chilcago syndicate has secured control of a large tract of placer ground in Blaine county, and that an order will be placed for a large dredging plant.

Washington, Dec. 7.—The December dinner of the Gridiron club at the Arlington hotel Saturday night was a success. The Washington correspondents who comprise the organization made us of recent events and prospective happenings for their burlesques. There were many prominent guests, and from the time President Robert J. Wynne delivered his address of welcome until the midnight hour there was mirth, music, quips and One of the best hits of the evening came late, when two bears appeared. One was a real bear and the other was impernosated by a member of the club. He announced they were from Mississippi and were looking for the president. Good speeches were made by public men who entered into the spirit of the occasion. The menu souvenir was a book of rules of the house, with many cartoons showing the stringent manner in which Mr. Cannon will rule the house. It was accompanied by a gavel, making every man his own speaker. National Civic Federation New York, Dec. 10.—The first annual meeting of the industrial department of the National Civic Federation, which convened here in the rooms of the board of trade, was attended by nearly 200 representatives of great corporations and labor organizations and distinguished citizens interested in the solution of the questions concerning the relations of capital and labor. Senator Marcus A. Hanna presided and delivered the address of welcome to the delegates, among whom were John Mitchell, president of the United Mineworkers of America; Oscar S. Straus, member of the court of arbitration at The Hague; Alfred Moseley, at the head of the visiting delegation of British trade unionists; Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul and Bishop M. C. Goldrick of Duluth. The Strongs are Back New York, Dec. 9.—Among the passengers who arrive on the steamer Umbria from Liverpool and Queenstown were Mr. and Mrs. Putnam Bradlee Strong. Strong refused to say anything about his past or future movements. When a man pays for the plumage on his wife's hat, you don't have to remind him that riches take unto themselves wings. ULTIMATUMS TO VENEZUELA GREAT BRITAIN AND GERMAN TAKE SUCH ACTION. The Ultimatums Have a Time Limit and the two Countries Will Make Seizures of Customs Unless Com- plied With in Stated Time—Castro Has Been Slow. London, Dec. 10.—Great Britain and Germany have presented ultimatums to Venezuela, which will be followed up by the seizure of the customs unless a satisfactory settlement is forthcoming within a brief period. The ultimatums have a time limit, but the exact date can not be ascertained here. The foreign office states, with regard to the limit: "It is a reasonable time in which Venezuela can satisfy the injured governments. Both notes are practically identical, although the amounts of the claims differ. The notes merely reiterate the continued disregard by the Venezuelan government of all our representations, specify our claims and demand immediate action on the part of President Castro's government in connection therewith." The British government's case is practically identical with the statements made in previous dispatches from London, in which it was first announced that the action was contemplated. Should the British ultimatum meet with a hostile reception the British minister, W. H. D. Haggard, has been instructed to go aboard a British warship, or if that is impracticable, to go into the neighboring colony. Premier Bailour's announcement in the house of commons this afternoon is regarded as merely the obvious culmination to the situation which daily has been becoming more critical for the past three months. The foreign office says: "There is not the slightest desire to coerce Venezuela, and if any answer had been made to our repeated protests and demands no such action as now taken would have been proceeded with. It was the persistent and insulting disregard to all representations to aliens which compelled us to move. It is now too late in the day for anything but purely diplomatic arrangements for the satisfaction of our injuries. When the fleets have assembled there is scarcely time to deal with bankers and a financial settlement, which should have been suggested long ago, and would have been welcomed by both Germany and ourselves. However, any bona fide proposition will receive careful attention. Reconstruction in commercial affairs is always better than liquidation, and if the reconstruction of the Venezuelan finances can be accomplished to the satisfaction of our diplomatic claims and individual losses, both Germany and Great Britain will have achieved their ends." SURVEYING PARTY DROWNED Wenatchee, Wash., Dec. 8.—A surveying party of three men was drowned in the Wenatchee river, in the Tumwater canyon, three miles above Leavenworth. In the party were W. R. Wanzer, civil engineer of Seattle, and two helpers, H. Coolee and M. Martin, both from Blewett. They were engaged in surveying a new power plant for the Wenatchee Electric Light & Power company, and it is supposed while crossing the stream their boat became unmanageable and drifted into the rapids and capsized. Coolee's body was found by the searching party, lodged against a rock below the falls. His watch stopped at 5 o'clock, showing that the accident happened near that time. The place where the accident occurred is one of the wildest and most picturesque spots in this part of the country. Through a narrow canyon rush the waters of the Wenatchee, with majestic mountains towering thousands of feet on either side. In a few places the river is quiet for a few hundred yards or so, and any one may cross with comparative safety, but if they should be drawn over the falls death is sure to overtake them. To Restore Spain's Navy. Madrid.—Among the new cabinet of fcicos, General Linares, minister of war, is very popular with the army and in the country, and is credited with extensive plans for the reorganization of the army and the national defenses. Minister of Marine Toca is regarded as an even more thorough advocate of the strengthening and reorganization of the navy and of the naval defenses in every direction. Senator Mauru, minister of the interior, also favors the restoration of Spain's naval power, and altogether the new government is considered a strong and popular one. Chinese May Go To Manila Manila.—Customs Collector Shusler rules that Chinese residing in the United States may enter the Philippines. His decision says: "Any Chinese legally resident in the mainland territory of the United States is entitled to enter the Philippines, irrespective of class or occupation, provided that he comes by a reasonably direct route and uses due diligence in coming." Consul General Nast Is Dead. Guayaquil, Ecuador.-Consul General Thomas Nast died today at noon after a three days' illness from yellow fever. SISTERS OF CHARITY Use Pe-ru-na for Coughs, Colds, Grip and Catarrh-A Congressman's Letter. K In every country of the civilized world Sisters of Charity are known.

Charles Little, a bridge worker, aged 62, fell from the trestle work of a new bridge over the Snake river and was almost instantly killed. He fell fully 50 feet and landed on a heap of rocks, nearly every bone in his body being broken. At Marshfield, Ore., "Doc" Engle, a gambler, recently shot and killed Thomas Barker, another gambler. Barker was dealing a game in a back room of the saloon when Engle entered the saloon. Going to the table where the game was in progress he leaned over between two of the players and fired four shots in quick succession at Barker. Three shots took effect in his right arm near the shoulder and one in his right side, the latter causing his death. Barker was 60 years of age and was well known in Coos Bay. Engle was captured. Increased Freight Rates.

VENEZUELAN FLEET SEIZED GLOWING TRIBUTE TO REED COMBINED BRITISH AND GERMAN FLEET AT LA GUAYRA. All British and German Subjects in Caracas Have Been Arrested in Retaliation for the Recent Ultimatum to Castro and Government—United States Has Been Forced Into the Trouble—Minister Bowen Busy. London, Dec. 12.—A dispatch from Caracas, Venezuela, says: "The combined British and German fleet has seized the Venezuelan fleet, composed of four warships, in the harbor of La Guayra. It is reported also that an ultimatum would be delivered soon asking for answer and a compliance with the demand of the British and German ministers. All German and British subjects in Caracas are under arrest." Washington, Dec. 11.—The arrests of the British and German subjects in Caracas are believed to be in the nature of a retaliation for the ultimatum which has been sent to Venezuela for a settlement of the long standing claims of Germany and England against her. Incidentally such action by Venezuela will, it is said, involve this government as the German and British representatives in Venezuela before leaving Caracas requested United States Minister Bowen to take charge of their interests in Venezuela. It was said at the state edрartment that this request would be granted, and the probabilities are that Minister Bowen has already taken steps tward that end. Considerable surprise is expressed here over the arrests, as the result will be to add to the serious complications already existing. Earthquakes in Utah. Salt Lake, Utah.—Since November 17, when an earthquake shook up southern Utah and as far north as Salt Lake, daily shocks have been felt in the extreme southeastern portion of the state. According to advices received from Pine Valley, a hamlet in the mountains of Washington county, not a day has passed since that date that at least one earthquake shock has not been felt and serious alarm is being felt for the safety of the place. Every chimney in the town has been badly cracked or completely tumbled over. At Pinto, the shocks have been so severe that the public school has been abandoned for several days. About 15 miles south are five or six old craters, and the continuance of the earthquake shocks has strengthened the belief that there has been a fresh outbreak of volcanic activity in the mountains of that region. Hardships Retold. Scranton, Pa., Dec. 17.-Tales of eviction from houses owned by G. B. Markle & Co., the narration of the death of a wife as a result of an enforced removal from her home and the story of a mother whose husband was killed in the Markle mines, and of how she and her two boys struggled for years to pay the Markles the back rent and coal bill she owed them, were the principal features of Tuesday's sessions of the coal strike commission. The testimony as given by some of the witnesses whose lives are given up to the coal mining industry was at times pathetic and surprising to the missioners, who listened to it with undivided attention. Store at Toppenish Robbed. North Yakima, Wash., Dec. 11.—The general merchandise store of Coffin Brothers, on the Yakima Indian reservation at Toppenish, was robbed recently and $300 taken from a safe that had been locked by double combination doors. The robber successfully opened the safe by working the combination. The sum represented the day's receipts, and on Monday night no one slept in the store room, as had been the custom. Power Shut Off. Cascade, B. C., Dec. 11.—The breaking of a valve in the main supply pipe, releasing water under heavy pressure, tore away half of the west wall of the power house, stopping operations for probably two months, though no damage was done to the machinery.

CONGRESS PASSES RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. His Death Caused Profound Impression Among the Members—Reed Honored With Benton, Blaine and Alex. Stephens—Adjourned Out of Respect to Their Memories. Washington, Dec. 10.—The house of representatives, in which the late Thomas B. Reed achieved his greatest fame and for many years was its most conspicuous member, paid tribute to the dead statesman Monday by the adoption of resolutions of sorrow and respect. His death caused a profound impression and there was a universal desire among the members that the house show a signal mark of respect to his memory. For the house to take action on the death of a former member had only three precedents in its history, namely, on the occasion of the death of Benton, Blaine and Alexander Stephens, when the house adopted resolutions and adjourned out of respect to their memories. It was decided to follow these precedents in the case of Mr. Reed. The chaplain at the opening of the session paid a feeling reference to the death of the ex-speaker, the formal reading of two messaein Resolutions Offered. Mr. Sherman of New York then, amid profound silence, arose and in a few feeling remarks offered the following resolution: "Resolved, That the following minute be spread upon the record of the house of representatives: "Hon. Thomas Brackett Reed died in Washington, December 7, 1902. For 22 years he had been a member of this house; for six years its speaker. His service terminated with the Fifty-fifth congress.

Mr. and Mrs. Crump and their daughter, Mrs. Howard, are very delightful entertainers and it is a treat as well as an honor to have their courtesy extended. Ye editor, company with Measrs. Rirley and Bush, of Anaconda, returned last Friday from the capital city, where they spent three days of the most pleasant visit of their lives. The boys of the capital city cannot be excelled in giving strangers all that can be gotten out of a good time. On our arrival in the capital city we were met by a special reception committee, who escorted us to prepared places of abode and from then on were given the entire freedom of the city. The Manhattan club, which is composed of the very best representative men in the city, is the principle place of amusement. It is the most complete place of its kind in the west, and its officers are thoroughly competent and qualified on entertaining visitors and strangers, and it is a common comment about the services given in this place that they are the best obtainable. John W. Duncan, editor and proprietor of the New Age, is making a tour of the northern part of the state in the interests of this publication. He expects to return with a number of new subscriptions and advertisements in his inside pocket. Judging from the thickness of his speech over the telephone from Helena, about 4 a.m. Thursday morning, the Helenaites must have been showing him the white elephant. We regret to chronicle the departure of Messrs, Spriggs and Fletcher for Omaha, Neb., last Tuesday evening. During their stay in Butte, which covered a period of several months, these young men have made themselves very popular and every one regrets their leaving the city of mines. We wish them bon voyage. All roads pointed to Helena on Wednesday last. Several of the elite of Butte's society departed for the capital city to attend the first annual assembly of the Twenty One club. Among those who went over and participated in the mazes of the dance were Misses Fannie Bynum, Minnie Smith, Messrs. Jas. D. Yancey, W. J. Burnsides and our genial editor, J. W. Duncan. When the train from Anaconda arrived, this select coteri were augmented by Messrs. Riddley and Busch. Knowing the particular brand of hospitality handed out by our Helena friends, there will be many regrets and heart aches when the time comes for our friends to say au revoil. art in the featherweight class, went over to Basin Thursday night and will try conclusions for supremacy in the roped arena at that place tonight. Judging from the previous record of the men they should put up a rattling go well worth seeing. Mr. and Mrs. Dudley Waldron left Friday evening for Leavenworth, as Mr. Waldron received news of his brother's serious illness. W. A. Washington, a former resident of Butte, but now of Anaconda, was seriously injured at the Washoe smelter by being struck by a car. He is at St. Ann's hospital. A DEBATE (Continued from page one.) reached manhood's estate before realizing his untoward condition. After that "he allowed no grass to grow under his feet," using a much worn phrase, one of us would do well to follow his example. Religion now adays, using a political expression, is merely "a scab" off from religion as Christ taught it, even when expounded by the best educated. And 'tis certainly much less when taught by the illiterate. A doctrine that does not heal ills, including that of the pocket-book, is "a scab" religion and not to be relied upon. A community is much better off freed from the exponents of such. Another idea that presented itself to me when reading a notice in a late issue of "The New Age" upon a debate which took place at a club meeting in Butte, not long since. Its subject I have chosen for this article, as near as I can remember, and the debate closed, deciding wealth the affirmative was. It seems the opponents did not take into consideration the acquiring of either for other than selfish and personal ends. An idea that both wealth and education should be attained for wider benefits did not enter the discussion. Now, friends, it is utterly impossible for any one to live to himself. It is equally impossible for any one to acquire wealth or education without assistance. We are all interdependent. And to the extent that we consciously realize this may we attract both to us, for by this conscious recognition do we become masters of them? Doubtless, Mr. Washington would never have acquired an incentive grand enough to reach his present influence but for the realization of the necessity for some one to bestil himself to its accomplishments. And why not him? He is not living to himself! If he was I warrant none of us would ever have heard the echo of his name. And just according as he lives and moves and has his being for general good, just so far will his name receive eternal mention. Who of you after noticing his grand example can stand selfishly by and consider education and wealth for yourselves alone, or much less not consider them at all? He, to you, is a second Christ! Who of you will be his disciples, his apostles, his Paul, his mother, and so on? Some one must, and why not you, and you? Some of you, doubtless say: "Ah, yes, but Mr. Washington has a fine salary which we have not. Mr. Washington has a grand mental and physical presence which we have not." To all of which I reply: "God is no respector of persons." Mr. Washington acquired all these before he could use them and I may and so must you. "Arise! buckle on your armour and go forth to win!" Each of you right where and as you are, is in the best place, condition and position adoptable for victory. I impeach you, begin. Look within, find your Kingdom of Heaven and from that vantage ground step forth. "Fall! fall! fall! there is no such word as fail." Christ taught that man inherits a spiritual as well as physical body. Mr. Washington is teaching you that you inherit an intellectual, a spiritual as well as physical body. Mr. Washington is teaching you that you inherit an intellectual a spiritual and a physical body shoulder to shoulder with the white man and in THE NEW AGE order to become entirely free from the stigma of slavery to which the white man subjected you, you must cultivate your intellectual capacity faculties. Had this portion of yourself been properly developed you could never have been enslaved. Only ignorance may suffer the fruits of ignorance, which is slavery. Therefore, educate, which for you even before your white brethren must be of vital and first consideration (after soul development). Material wealth comes third. A poor man educated is to be respected, while a rich man uneducated is little more than a selfish animal. His wealth derides him. I have spoken of spiritual development on a side because it did not enter into your debate. Also because one need not waste any time in its furtherance. It must be attained, if at all, right along with your material occupations. It comes by doing the right thing always without faltering. All thought, and man is made up of thought, may take the spiritual trend or it may turn in the opposite direction, which is to ward error, so-called. These erroneous thoughts sooner or later must be retrieved, re-embodied, made whole or holy, and by keeping this ever in mind one is saved much torment and discompose of mind and body. It pays always, always, to do ones best for no one but yourselves must suffer the stings of your slavish thoughts, which error thoughts, undoubtedly are. Miss Florence Roberts delighted another good-sized audience at the Grand last night in the titte role of the dainty and refined romantic comedy, "The Adventure of Lady Ursula." It is understood Miss Roberts and her company will play a return engagement at the Broadway January 18, 19, and 20. The plays she will present at that time have not yet been decided upon. "A Gambler's Daughter." The attraction at Sutton's Broadway next Sunday and Monday, December 14 and 15, will be the new sensational melodrama which has scored a big hit in the present theatrical season. "A Gambler's Daughter." No dramatic offering in years has gained the strong hold on the public that this highly exciting and thrilling play has in so short a time, and it will, without question, receive a very enthusiastic reception in this city. It is a piece that has been magnificently staged by the famous scenic artists, Buhler & Mann, and the many stirring scenes depicted are vividly true to life, notably a reproduction, exact to the minutest detail of the Chicago Board of Trade on a day of panic when the heroine, amid scenes of great excitement, becomes the queen of the wheat pit, although her operations are the financial ruin of her father, who is a member of the board of trade, and who also surreptitiously conducts a very swell and luxurious gambling house on Michigan avenue, and is an exquisite stage picture. An exceptionally strong cast of players is given, the company being headed by the talented and magnetic leading woman, Miss Lilian Hayward. Others in the principal roles are Camilla Crume, Marie Laurens, Elsie Frazee, James Norval, C. W. Goodrich, Walter Stanhope, J. J. Hyland, Allan Foster, F. K. Wallace, Andrew Quirk, Ernest Sole, L. P. North and many others. The laughable farce of Gaston and Alphonse will be at the Broadway December 16 and 17. Dr. A. D. Galbraith Dentist Offices—304 and 305, Goldberg Block, Butte, Montana.
