EDITOR NINER:-I undersland
there Is lsry. nums,er Of homes In
training throughout the Territory

Helena and that there ars s'vcsal
fy-s 1t Salt Lake whose owness
would like to whit Montana with
them IL SUFFICIENT inducements VIE
held out to justify their coming sp.
In view Of these facts I woald suggest
that steps be taken Immediately lo"k-
ing tn . meeting here sometime dur
Ing the latter part Of next month Or the
arst week In September. Ifvpoms Of
our prominent citizens wousd Iead In
the matter, and I'M: !ertake the
management the success Of the Taces
would BE- guaranteed beyond all risks
Of failure. As . purely business
proposition, It should commend 1t"
self TO cur citizens and receive their
United support. Nearly oil commu-
mites In the country some Of them nut
possessing one-half tho wealth, popu-
latioc and enterprise Of Butte, hold
these annual races. This b doDe ~
cause It pays. It brings men into
their towns, pots large; amount al
money into circulation and inaugur-
ates . season Of general prosperity ID
their midst that IL felt f0r months
Afterwards.
The business men AZ Butte should
encourage the meeting - . paying
enterprise. BY. giving. II their coon-
tenance and lending their aid In the
management, Il would inspire con-
fidence In the fairness Of rulings and
decisions and plaee the meeting upsn
. substantial basis. Last year the
management kst heavily. 1t can
hardly be expected that two or three
individuals unaitled by cur business
men will assume the risk again. 1t
is . public matter In which the pub
lie Is more or les benelitted, and n"
one person should Be asked or e.
pectell tn take hold of It alone. l I'M
derstaud committee will interview
our citizens daring the present week
concerning the matter. aud II Il meet
with sufficient encouragement that
arrangements will be projected - ~
to inaugura.e the raees before those
Of Helena and Jsozen,an will come
oil: Az we are all equally interested
In the prosperity az our city, I hope
that nj: our business men will exert
themselves to institute and carry out
the meeting to pleasant and profit
able termination 10 all concerned.

On July Fourth Nj. Harrison and
Mis- Cutler attended . ball at the
Countryman House, saltwater, and
while there several scenes took place
which were sadly out Of joint.
At one time during the psogress Of
the dancing, Miss Cutler was seen BY
her escort dancing with another
gentleman. This sight ret amidst
the beauty, gayety and music Of that
evening, which inspires Us all, 20
maddened Mr.. Harrison that he
rushed out 1T the room and made .
break for the Yellowstone, saying:
IL will drown myself" It t.ois the
strenuous excrtiOns Of several men to
prevent him from accomplishing his
threat. After returning to Sweet
Grass on the night Of July 18th 1t
seemed that green-eyed Jealousy cum
sumed him until the morning Of the
9Th. when Miss Cutler was shot.

There is an old Mussulman prophe-
cy to the effect that when St. Sophia
shall fall the destruction of the Otto

Sophia is the largest of the MOSQUES
at Constantinople, and its gaudy Gu
pola Is now in so rotten condition
that it may fall in any day and crush
hundreds of the faithful at prayer. The
cnpola was repaired in lS49, under the
direction of Fossati, an eminent Ital.
ian architect. The mosque is now
closed to the public, and his majesty,
perhaps, having in mind the old proph
ecy, before quoted, will see that it is
made as stable as possible.

1t carries man back three hundred
years to read the amazing dispatch
from the Imperial city of Keiff. The
authorities, says this incredible re-
port, "have ordered the Jews to leave
the commercial mart of the city and
settle themselves in the suburbs and
dismiss their Christian servants" All
the measure needs to prove an authen
tic rescript Of medieval intolerance and
rapacity is the signature Of some Chris
tian king like the gentle Tudor, the
tolerant Hohenstauffen or the tender
Hapsburg. The archaist will miss al
so the charming detail of burning the
recalcitrants in cauldrons of oil and
and embalming tokens of Christian be-
nignance with red hot branding irons
on the arms and breasts of the He
brew maidens. There is another evil
dence OF historic authenticity lacking
the mandate to the prosecuted to
keep within the locked gates of their
quarter after nine O'Clock at night.
