The advancement" of woman, in one
direction at least, is well illustrated by
the success of 1.-THE Queen of Hell's Half
Acre. which is the title of a Kansas
City wife and mother whose real name
is Belle Payne. AS a topper, swear and
pugilist she has few peers and no super
Tor in her native town. She used to be
arrested every day, but the police and
the public have become so accustomed
to her ways that she is rarely molested.
She recently deposited a dollar with. the
chief of police as a forfeit that no light
weight pugilist in Kansas can knock
her out in four rounds for $3.50.

Montana Abroad.

AS a sample of how the people of the
east are beginning to find out something
about Montana and are looking this way
for homes and investment, we publish
the following letters, which speak for
themselves. Mr.. Nagle evidently has
the same opinion of the HOLIDAY RIv-
Err PRESS as every one else who has
seen it-that it is the best showing up of
the advantages of this section that can
be procured:
EAGLE Rock, NJ. t., April 8, 1883.
Editors of the RIVER PRESS.
I inclose herewith a letter just receiv-
ed from a friend who resides il Nauvoo,
Ill, from which you will learn that peo-
pie there commence to find out a little
different about Montana. I wish to give
all the information / can, and although
I have said, in my answer to the inclosed
letter, as much as I could about our
country, 1 think that your Holiday Eli-
ton would be just the thing to send.
Will you please send MI. Person a cou-
pie of copies and charge them to me-
Yours, truly,

Striking Bricklay ers.

April 5.-The master masons
and bricklayers met to-day and passed a
resolution to the effect that the demands
of the bricklayers' and stonemasons' I'M
ion for advance of wages were unreason-
able; that the union did not recognize
the laws of supply and demand in fixing
wages that there are many more brick
layers in the city than there is employ
ment for; that a portion of these are
willing to work at the present rates if
assured of protection that in view of
this fact the masters should cease to m
ploy union men. The exchange raised
1880 for the purpose of importing men.
The strikers are still defiant. At their
meeting to-day it was stated they had
more than enough to hold out. Union
apprentices were ordered to stop work.
About 5000 men are on strike.

The "thin red line" will not be seen
in England's future battles. Although
scarlet will continue to be the national
uniform, Kharkee will be worn on SER
vice. In the face of small arms Of pre-
cision, the Austrians had to discard their
white Jackets, which were more plainly
visible in the distance than even the red
tunics. Rifle green is more easily seer
than might be supposed, and from ex-
periments with different colors the most
deceiving proved to be neutral tint, such
as that to be worn in the future.

Bloody rows occurred in ten of the

Of Interest to Business Men.

We publish below an extract from a
letter of instructions received by T. P,
Fuller, ESQ.,, collector of internal revenue
for the district of Montana, written I'M
der date of April I'd, from the commits
sioner of internal revenue at Washing
ton and forwarded to us by w. H. Ar
mour, esq, deputy collector:
Manufacturers and dealers who pre-
sent claims for rebate of tax paid on to-
bacco, snuff, cigars and cigarettes on
hand May |, 1888, will be required, when
taking inventories of stock on that day,
to affix a label to each stamped package
Of tobacco OF snuff of one pound or more
in weight, to each box containing stamp
ed packages of tobacco or snuff less than
one pound in weight, to each stamped
package of cigars, and to each box con-
tanning stamped packages of cigarettes.
Labels for this purpose will be furnished
by this office, in which it will be neces-
sary for the claimant to insert Ia writing
his name and place and the number Of
the collection district and state.
It is thought that many of these claim
ants will prefer to have labels for their
own goods printed at their own expense,
for, by having their names, etc, printed,
they will avoid the labor of W7itiag
them upon the labels furnished from
here.
Parties who may wish to make claims
for rebate should apply to the collector
for the necessary blanks and labels,
which Will be furnished as soon as re-
ceived from the department. In refer
ence to the last paragraph of the letter
we wish to state that Mr.. Armor has
kindly furnished us with the copy and
form of the labels, and we will be pre-
pared to print labels for those who pre-
fer their names, etc, printed in full.

On Saturday, june I'd, the friends, neghbors
and long time acquaintance OF Mr.. John Fla
harty, to the number OF seventy, assembled a,
his home, in the fourth district of this county
to tender him congratulations on having that da,
completed The miHety,T0hpM year of his age
Mr. Flaharty was born near "Black Horse y
Hartford county, Md, June I'd, l1S9 and has
consequently, lived under the administration
of every President, from Washington down -
He was soldier in the war of 1872. In early
life he married and there were born to him

two, William and Thomas, are living His de.

and nine great grandchildren. or these twelve
besides the two SONS, We're present.
The aged patriarch, though but recently re-
covered from severe indsposition, was in excel
lent health and spirits, with all his mental
faculties bright, and was able to receive and
welcome his guests, and entertain them with
stories of the long ago. An excellent dinner had
been provided in honor of the OCCASION, to which
the old gentleman, with his guests did ample
justice Later in the day, the table was again
surrounded, TO partake of bountlfu supply
OF refreshments, consisting of cake in great
variety and excellent quality, and the good old
''local option" beverage OF lemonade. The in
tervening time was spent in pleasant social in
tercourse freed from the restraints of formal GER
emonies, and the occasion was, altogether,
most enjoyable.
Mr. Flaharty realizes that he has lived much
beyond the usual allotment of earthly existence,
and that, now, his sands of life must be almost
run out; but, with Christian patience and resig-
nation, he is calmly waiting, "al the days of his
appointed time, till his change come" Since
the desire to live is natural and strong with all
of us, and since in the Divine word, it is said of
the upright, with long life will satisfy him,
and show him My salvation" 1T will not be re-

the money to pay for them. He refuses to buy
them with his own money, and does not sell the
Whiskey he brings up. He is accommodating in
this as In other things.
MT. Hays said Mr.. Casey might be very clever
stage-driver, but he did not want him to violate
any portion Of the law to accommodate whiskey
drinkers, and moved the appointment of a conn
mittee TO confer with him. The motion was car
ried by avote of o to3.
The chair thereupon appointed Rev. Messrs
Finney. Valiant and DIR. benjamin Smith, all of
whom declined.
DIR. Smith said he voted against the motion be-
cause he did not think any good would be ac-
complished by waiting on Mr.. Casey. He will
perhaps soon stop his stage, and he supposed APP
ROAD to induce them not to carry jugs
Messrs. T.. f. Ball, N. N. Mock and VIM G. JEFF
Iery were then appointed as the committee. Mr.
Jeffrey also declined positively to serve, and Mr..

committee were expected to do and thought the
proceedings unnecessary.
Inc President said IL he Understood the law Mr.
Casey has a perfect rightto buy whiskey for any
one, whether consigned to ID. Thomas or No l.
ana the Alliance could not go behind the law.
heV. MIR. Finney said it seemed that no one
knew OF any violation of the law, and had only
heard OF rumors, and moved an adjournment.
Before the question was seconded, Mr. John w.
Coale said he wished to ask a question: Suppose |

were seated in the bar room should take half
dozen glasses of beer and set them in the ward,
saying, Don't touch them" and the men drank
the beer, would that be a violation of the law ?

Death of Mr.. Charles G. Fulton.

Mr.. Charles G. Fulton, proprietor OF the
Baltimore American, died at his residence, in
Baltimore, on the 18th instant, of chronic dys-
pepsia, with which he had beena sufferer for
a long time Mr.. Fulton was born in Phlla-
delphia in 1916 After serving out an APP
premiership as a type-settcr, he bought the
Georgetown AdcOcdte, and published it for
five years. He was next employed as COM
positor on the Baltimore Sun, and rose to
the position of city editor of that paper. In
1858 he purchased an interest in the Baltl-
more american and in 1862 became sole
owner. In 1861 Mr.. Fulton warmly advo-
Gated the Union side and continued to sup
port it to the close of the war. He became
prominent in the Republican party and was
Il delegate to every Republican nominating
convention from the one at which Grant and
ColfaX were nominated down to and includ-
ing the Convention that nominated Hayes and
Wheeler. He never held public office OF any
kind. He made five trips to Europe, and
wrote bright, graphic letters from abroad,
which attracted widespread interest. Some
of these letters were published in volume
entitled Europe Through American Specta-
cles," and are charming pictures of European
life and manners. Under Mr.. Fulton's able
management the american became one of the
most widely known and influential Republi-
can journals in the country, and the large
and well-appointed establishment remains q
monument to his energy, enterprise and
journalistic ability. For several years before
his death Mr.. Fulton took no active part in
politics. During his long and active life il
was not to expected that he could avoid max
ing some enemies {; but the animosities engen
dered by his bold, aggressive course in poll
tics appeared to suhside, before his death
and he will be remembered, by all who knew
him, as a sympathizing kind-hearted gentle
man and au able and accomplished journalist
The funeral of Mr.. Fulton took place Sun
day afternoon from the family residence, OF
Eutaw Place Thousands OF people, includ
ing large number of the colored population
viewed the remains before tie obsequies be
gan, representing all branches of business
and social and political circles. Among thos'
present were Collector Webster and Custom
House officials, Mayor Whyte and city off
Gals, a delegation of the Young Mems Re
publican committee, another of the Crane
Army of the Republic, Post Office officials
and thousands of citizens who respected Thu

whatever he believed to he right and hi

DIR. Leyburn, of the Reformed Presbyterian
Church, conducted the services. The remains
were inferred in Greenmount Cemetery.
