March is powerfully disagrseso'e
month in any climate, hut for oil that II
NAV Ike regarded in Butte a. the opening
month of the amusement season. the
travelling troupes which make 1t q po'n'
to play I'M larger Eastern cities In the
wint r months find it to their advant'
age to "tour through the provinces IN
the spring and summer. The Terr,to'
ries offer a fruitful field forthese troupee
when they offer any field at all, and
during the coming season Butt" Will
probably afford them audiences ~ n''-
merous and anprcciative. and nail Us
we'll adapted for theatrical entertain
ments IA any west Of the Missouri river
AZ far as hall facilities are concerned
Rensl.aw's new opera house is amply
sufficient for the requirements ct any
troupe that travels and any audience
likely t , assemble there. With the adj
vantage Of four proscenium boxes, and
n c:,racious stage, dressing rooms and
the new scenery which Mr.. Rcnshaw
intends putting in. the house will he un-
excclled in the Territories. There Is one
question however,, which demands I'M
mediate consideration. During the first
performance of L.aila a lady In
the body Of the hall was over
come by the heat and tainted
dead away. Truly we are becoming
metropolitan, but this il going it little
too fast. We arc not ready for theatre
fires and sitting au.'it"rinns. While
there is no danger Of the former in this
case, immediate and effective steps
should I've taken to secure full and free
ventilation.
Tonight comes the Bullion Club hi

Tho Fire Brigade.

The e was t. nave licen meeting last
"Wednesday night between Il committee
of two appointed Ivy the Council and
the Butte Fire Brigade, for the purpose
Of perfcc:ing arrangements to provide
the Brigade witt, hose and shelter iacili-
ties. The meeting effected nothing as
the committee thought it best to have
another meeting Of concil before coming
to u definite conclusion. TO give time
for this, the meeting Of the Fire Brigade
was adjourned until next "Wednesday
evening, with the expectation that there
will be meeting of council in the mean
time, probably Monday night.
It is to he hoped that this matter,
which is Of vital Importance to the city,
will be satisfactorily and Immediately
adjusted. The members Of the Fire
Company are not acting in their own
indi> idual interests, nor are their labors
directed 10 any personal emolumcnt or
qualification. They are and have been
acting, az far rs they knew how. consci-
ntious!y and urselfishly for the pro-
lection Of the property Of the city and
all tile citizens. At the first blush it
" .i..,i *-:.* that nothing could he fairer
or more proper than their request that
the city should Immediately provide
them with proper accommodations for
the ensin: and hose in short, All Office
and storeilou,se in Il central part Of the
city.
On the other hand, Council seem 10
ti:.! it difficult to furnish means to pro-
vide these accommodations. The qilcs-
ton of raising money, even for public
uses, j. always Il serious one. 1t has
been s::i,! tina: 4 special levy is conteI,,-
plated for this purpose.

Death Of An Old Timer.

Another old timer has passed quietly
away, and the places that have known
him 80 long: will, We hope, know him
no more forever. He had gone through
the trials and fluctuations of many viii
ter nights. and was the survivor o; Il
numerous family, one Of the first born
of the Butte I.:hrar; Club. Among his
intimate friends lie was known KS ''Ihc
Silent Protector" q name given 40
doubt in Irony, rs he was never able to
protect either hin,se::: or his friends
from :'the sings and arrows o: outr:,-
geous fortune" The death was not
attended. Three gentlemen, who had
been the chief victims OF his nlis.leet's
during life. and three ladies, two of
whom had aided AMI allotted him in Ill
the discomforts which he was 50 prone
to shower upon his friends, we're pres
ent at the obsequies. Friday night the
remains were committed to parlor
stove, and consumed amid the univer-
sal plaudits of those present. 1t is
thought by some that he would have
died anyway som, as the ladies' who
might naturally have been considered
chiefly interested in his welfare, showed
a persistent disregard Of all the oblig:-
tions which were naturally incumbent
on them, and would have given him
his! quietus by their neglect and i'll
treatment, II no artificial means had
been employed to bring about the sad
result.
