The total cost Of the improvement,
including the work on Madison,

mated at a little under 1000 in
currency.
The value Of the Improvement to
the city can hardly be estimated.
When the work is done it will be the
only thoroughfare in the city that
will be crmpleted to an established
grade and upon which stores and
warehouses, that are intended TO be
permanent, can at once be built.

has thus been established, and the

Herewith, the people OF this city are
first indebted to the engineering skill
of Mr.. Eastwick, our late efficient
/ City Surveyor, and then to the good
sense Of our late City Government,
who not only fully accepted his work
and then adopted the admirable and
only feasible system for the eventu-
al grading of our city, but at once
commenced one section of the work,
which, when completed, will largely
enhance the value of all property
along Front street, prove great
public convenience, and reflect credit
upon the city.

a GOOD WORK.

The improvement If Front street,
which is the first fruits Of an impor-
tant action Of the City Council whose
term Of office has recently expired,
cannot fail 10 be considered by those
who are interested I'll the welfare Of
our rising city, and more especially
by those who have their means in
vested in property on Front street,
as Of great and vital Importance to
the property Of the city.
Until very recently our city has
been without any system Of surveys
or grades. and no one owning pro-
perty within It's limits has been able
to locate, within several feet, the po-
sition Of their lots or to ascertain the
elevation Of the street fronting there
on when graded The want of this
necessary information has de-
barred property owners from making
substantial and per mancnt improve
mcnts with any assurance that they
would not at some future time find
that they had built either beyond
their boundary lines or far within
them, or that when the streets were
ultimately graded they would be 50
far above or below the grade that
the value Of their investments would
be materially Deprecated. Our city
is now, however provided with "a COM
plete system of grades, extending
over more than thirteen miles of
streets and embracing the entire area
of the city, bounded bs Pine street
on the north, by Eighth street on
the east, and by Elliott Bay on the
south aud west. In addition TO this,
and rs necessary preliminary to
10 the establishment OF the grades,
the city has been accurately surveyed
over nearly this entire area, and
the street lines marked by monu-
m.nts, from which extensions of the
surveys can at any time be made ut
II comparatively small expense. The
city authorities have been furnished
with Typographical map of the city,
upon which issaown by contour lines
tho height above tide water of all
parts of the city, and the Irregular
ties aud undulations Of the ground.
In addition To this, there has been
made profile OF each street, upon
which is laid out the elevation of the
natural surface of the ground at all
points along It's center line, rs we'll
rs that of the proposed grade line
which has been legally established
by ordinance An inspection Of
these proiiles will afford at glance,
approximately, the amount of work
TO be done TO bring the street To the
established grade. Besides the
monuments, of which there are up
wards of sixty, there are over one
hundred and sixty benches or points
showing the elevations above tide
water, and from which the grade Mt
any point can readily be laid out.
The improvement now being made
on Front street extends from James
street to Pike street, distance of
5000 feet, passing throughout the
entire distance along the water front
of tic city The lowest point on
this street. at It's intersection with
James street, the extreme souther-
" end of the part now being improv-
cd, is Il fee; above high water mark
From there il ascends 10y easy grades
TO Pike street, where an elevation
of l09 feet is attained Over thu

The price of admission to the Exhibition il
Philadelphia will be 80 cents, payable in one
note. The receivers 1T the recording turn
stiles will have nothing to do with the notes,
except to decide whether they are good or
bad, and to drop them in the boxes, where
each one will reg lister itself. An exchange
office of the Centennial National bank will
be established near each entrance, to change
money for visitors, not having 5O-cent notes.
This money changer will be expected 10 have
no more and no less money when his work is
done than when he began. The centennial
commission, after much inquiry and careful
consideration, concluded that the whole sys-
tem-absence of season tickets and all-was
cheaper and more secure against fraud than
any other known. In order that the cash

specie payments prior to or during the exhib-
ition the rule will be amended to meet de-

How Five Sisters Got Married.

A marriage took took place in Boston, on
Monday, which recalls some interesting re-
miniscence of the habitues of hotels in New
York. The bride is one of five sisters who
have all been married within seven years,
generally very happily. They have lived
every winter, sometimes together and some
times apart, in fashionable hotels in this city.
They are all pretty, and married and single
have been known as accomplished firts.
The efforts of the first married have been con-
centrated for several years to secure husbands
for those not married. Two years ago, they
all lived at the c., and the married sisters
gave through the winter such round of en-
tertainments, card parties, dinners, and sup
pers, opera parties, ETC., for the sake of
bringing their sisters into contact with the
world, and especially with desirable beaux,
that the matter became subject of hotel
scandal, although innocent of positive i'm
morality. The fourth sister was married in
Brooklyn last spring. and the fifth and last
is now Boston bride. She is reputed to
have been thrice engaged previously, but
Tilted each time in retaliation for her indul-
gence in ''tlirtations' with gentlemen friends
She is gone now from New York gaze at
least, and one subject of hotel scandal is re-
moved. d.-Nen iork Letter.

The New Catholic Church of Deer Lodge
-xlAllic3fOrY Services.


The blessing of the new Catholic Church,
Deer Lodge, which we believe is equivalent
to the dedicatory services of Protestant
chuches, took place on Sunday, March 10TH
The cermemonies began by FIR. De Ryckere
and his assistants standing at the main door
of the building and reciting the prayer Of
dedication. The celebrant then walked
around the exterior of the building, reciting
the Psalm, "Have mercy On me, 0 God,'
and sprinkling the walls with water which
had been blessed. He then proceeded to the
altar, where three Psalms were sung-'sI am
rejoicd by that which has been said, )" follow
ed by the 122d and 123d Psalms. After this
the interior of the church was blessed and the
Litanies of the Saints chanted. Rev. F. J.
Kelleber, Of Virginia City, then delivered
the dedicatory sermon, an excellent dis
course, very attentively and earnestly listen
ed to by the audience, which occupied the
entire body and gallery of the church. This
was followed by High Mass celebrated by
the Pastor, FIR. De Ryckere. The music was
''Peters Mass in D." a grand musical COM
position, in which Mrs. j. B. Wilcox sang
the offertory-C Ch9ru6inis lie Mor5o. FIR.
Kelleher, DR.. Mussigbrod and Mr.. Eugene
Stark, with Mr W. T. Stanley presiding at
the organ, constituted the rest Of the choir,
and the music, especially the 4guus Del, was
the finest Deer Lodge has heard for years.
The ceremonies were interesting and impress
sive. The church is handsome little piece
of architecture, very tastefully and conven-
iently finished, and occupies a commanding
position, with full view of the valley from
its portal, and is prominent object from
every avenue Of approach Northeast.
