Mrs. J. DIrving.-Centennial Hall was
well filed with a select audience last evening
to hear this charming elocutionist. The
program selected for the occasion was well
calculated to give the audience an oppor-
tunity to pass judgement upon her merits
as AN elocutionnt, and the frequent and
hearty applause and enchores were the best
evidence of the decision rendered.
Mrs. IRVING has the advantage of a full,
clear and sweet voice, and the time spent
under some of the most eminent instruct
ora in the East, in perfecting herself in this
great art, it is quite evident has been hap
plly improved. Her gesture and aIticula-
tion are complete.
The vocal part of the entertainment by
our home talent, mentioned in the publish
ed program last week, with Miss ANNA
BEACH presiding at the organ, was happi-
ly received by the audience. Miss EDITH
WEsTcoTT won new laurels on this occasion
All in all it was a most pleasing enter
tainment and let us hope for more Of them.

The Butte Steam Fire Engine,

The MINER notes the arrival of the SiIsby
steamer, intended for Butte. The Fire
Brigade held a meeting and declined to be-
come responsible for the engine. The steam
err cost $4,000 81, 1000 to be paid on delivery
and the balance in notes. 1t was ordered in
good faith, but the Brigade refused
to incorporate and become accountable. On
what ground the Brigade base their objec-
lions is not stated. One version we hear is
that the Firelnen can see no use for an en-
CINE without water to supply it. Should the
steamer return to its original owner, as the
MINER intimates may be the case, we suggest
that the Helena Fire Department take the
necessary steps to secure it. Helena needs
another steamer. We have a pretty good
water supply and cistern system which is be-
ing extended and improved. The rapid
growth of the town suggests the necessity fol
another engine. If Butte is not ready fol
the one just delivered there, Helena, We
think, will be willing to take and pay for it

sheep for Montana.

On his way up from Walla Walla Mr.. Esau
James passed 1900 sheep bound for this Ter
ritory. Ofthis large number II 900 were owned
by one man, who has several herders employed
in slowly driving his large flock towards the
Couer D'Aleine. Another flock of $500 is
in charge of Mr.. Dovenspeck the proprietor
of a meat market at Butte last winter. All
the sheep were sound and healthy most Of
them fit for the market after a weeks rest.
Some were to be driven to the Bitter Root to
pass the swinter, Others to Flint Creek and
some to upper Deer Lodge valley.
