PENITENTIARY MATTERS.

In view of the condition Of affairs as above
stated and better 10 protect the people of the
Territory from the presence Of the despa.
rate characters in his charge Warden Botkin
applied last week to Governor Crosby for
additional guard force. The request, we nn
derstand, was refused. Why IL was refused
We have been unable TO learn. His Excel
lency must be fully posted concerning the
number of prisoners in the penitentiary, the
condition of that building and the number
of men employed as guards. Hrnce consid.
cradle surprise has been manifested at his
refusal to increase or allow to be increased
the force at the Warden's command. The
necessity of such increase cannot be ques-
toned aud Governor Crosby must be blind
If he cannot see it.-Mtner 22d.
The above extract, in an otherwise correct
editorial in the Miner Of Tuesday, shows q
misapprehension as to the control Of the
Montana Pententiary. That prison belongs
to the United States aud Is under its exclu-
sive control. The United States Marshal "A. G.
Botkin, as superintendent Of the Peuitenti-
airy represents the Government Of the Uni
Montana, for the Territory, has contracted
with the Marshal, for the United States TO
keep Territorial convicts therein at q certain
stipulated price per diem, the United States
undertaking to house, guard, feed, clothe
and medicate them. As we understand it,
the official duties and responsibilities Of the
Governor as relates to the Penitentiary ex-
tend no further, except In his exercise Of par.
doning power, in furnishing tho assistance
specified by law to discharged prisoners and
In his general duty Of seeing that the laws
are faithfully executed, which may include
assistance in recapturing escaped men or in
suppressing revolt. He has no authority 10
employ or discharge guard or to make or
unmske any rule of government or discipline
In the prison. Warden Botkin did not apply
to Governor Crosby for additional guards
but 10 the United States Marshal who has
presented the case TO the Department of Jus.
tice and meantime, on his personal assump-
ton of the expense, has employed Two tenn
porary guards TO assist the five regulars. We
have no doubt had the duty rested with Cover.
nor Crosby, be would have promptly increas
ed the force Of guards as the number Of con.
victs demanded. The Miner Is merely mis-
taken as to his authority In the matter.

The bridge Iiiumiusted.

New YoRK, May 19-The bridge between
New York and Brooklyn, presented . bril-
liant appearance tonight. About 10 O'Clock
the whole structure was suddenly lighted by
electricity, and Is no announcement had
been made that this would be done, there
was much surprise smong those who wit
messed the display. Inquiry developed the
fact that the q. S. Electric Light Company,
which has the contract for lighting the bridge
was making Its final tests, which proved very
satisfactory. The current was supplied from
the station In Elm street The effect Wa
superb.

THE frequency and destructiveness Of cy-
clones and tornadoes in the mid-western
States Is appalling. The accounts Of :helr
devastation which reached us at long inter-
walls few years ago have increased until
now the dread stories Of terror, death, and
destruction are almost of daily occurrence.
and cumber the dispatches with horrible dc.
tails. 1t looks almost like grand and an
CRY challenge from the resenting elements
TO man, who has met and conquered them In
all milder forms, to stay the whirlwind's fury
and dispel the lightning in Its wrath. To IL
neither scientist nor priest has responded,
and in the dread hour Of menace none IL
more brave than Hector's doughty foeman
who exclaimed:
80 God these clouds dispel,
The light of heaven restore;
Give me to see,
And Ajax asks no more"
II is true that the perfected means Of COM
municating intelligence now bring us from
every corner of the land tidings Of each
misfortune of this kiHd which few years
ago would have been but Of local report, and
that while one village 10 scourged By the an
cry winds thousands Of others are basking
in the mildest zephyn, under cloudless
skies; but the terrorism Of suspense and
anxious anticipation is n bad In some re.
spects as the actual event, and the rapid sue
cession Of these storms in the cyclone area
doubtless produces widespread apprehension.
While the storm sweep is limited to the
surface, and cellars have generally proved
effective as refugees, II Ii not At all pleasant
to have TO keep within FIVE minutes run Of
hole In the ground and reflect that at any
minute ones dwelling or business house,
with his cattle, trees, and other appure-
nances, are liable TO be whisked of into the
indefinite whittier and their marketable
value run down TO nil. No modifica.
ton of architecture seems proof against
these visitations; nor has the Signal Service
yet devised system Of warning adequate 10
the occasion. The residents Of the wind
swept region are In the midst Of . dire ext
gency and no man can say to them, "Peace."
Let us be thankful that our Montana land Is
exempt from the fury of the tempest.

which for such purposes are to be deemed
penitentiaries. This Is the only recourse

THE POINTS of law decided In the Butte
TOWNSHIP case and mentioned at length
elsewhere, are of more than ordinary impor-
lance. If they are not now adjudicated for
the first time, there are at least no reports in
the books Of such adjudication. We wish 1t
were otherwise, but confess belief that the
decision is correct In law. The fraud In the
transaction Is In the Government selling two
titles TO the same property, one of which is
void. The issue will be appealed 10 the
Supreme Court. II the United States were
as an individual and could be made defend
ant to a suit, an action should be brought
against 1t by surface owners for fraud. But
IL is not, and moreover sells ali realty in
that manner-you buy just what title the
United States happens to have TO 1t at the
time, irrespective of any title It may have
parted with before.

THE New York Herald has begun to pub
lish summaries of the decisions Of American
courts upon questions Of general interest.
This Is probably greater service To the
public than the proprietor Of the Herald an
ticipated. 1t is no news to the legal profess
sion that the appellate conrts Of the several
States habitually bring to the adjudication
of the cases coming before them an amount
of industry, learning, common sense, and
high-mindedness not surpassed in any age,
country, or profession. But the public at
large, which gets its legal intelligence main
ly in scraps, and these too often mangled by
the hackwork of local reporters, has not such
knowledge nor means of knowledge, and the
popular jest about the difference between
claw" and "justice" has a vein Of deep
though mistaken earnestness In it.-U. s.

pervaded every part of the ship. At six
o'clock the next morning it was as dark
as ever, but at eight light began to in
crease rapidly. The appearance of the
ship when daylight returned was most
singular. Every part was covered with
the matter that had fallen, which had
the look of calcined pumice-stone, nearly
the color of wood ashes. 1t lay in heaps
of foot in depth in many parts of the
deck, and several tons of it must have
been thrown overheard. For though an
impalpable powder or dust when it fell,
it was, when compressed, of considerable
weight; a pint measure Of it weighed
twelve ounces and three quarters. 1t
was perfectly tasteless, while it had
faint burnt smell, though nothing ike
sulphur; and it did not affect the eyes.
When mixed with water, it formed
tenacious mud, difficult to be wiped off
As the ship approached the coast of
Sambawa, on the 18th of April, she
passed through great quantities of pum-
lce-stone floating on the sea, which at
first sight appeared like shoals. One of
these masses at less than a mile looked
like a dry sandbank, upward of three
miles in length, with black rocks in sew
eral parts of it. 1t proved to be a COM
plete mass of pumice-stone floating on
the sea, some inches in depth, with great
numbers of trees and logs, which ap-
peared to be burned and shivered as if
by lightning. A boat sent to examine
it had much difficulty in pulling through
it, and until the Benares entered Bima
Bay the sea was literally covered with
shoals of pumiee and floating timber.

"A Little Bit of a Chap"

81 used to think il was my duty to Gu
'em with the whip, and ( took satisfac
tion in striking hard, but I wouitln'
strike boy now for the best thousand
dollars ever coined"
He was car driver, and his attention
had been called to three or four boys
stealing a ride on the rear platform.
eyes, I was a sort O. terror on this
route to the boys" he continued after a
time. "Not one of the crowd could
put his foot on the step and get away
without a cut from the whip. Big or
little, rough or gentle, I served all alike,
and if the passengers scowled at me for
lashing little kid of seven or eight,
solaced myself with the reflection that
it was my duty.
"Well, one day when the boys
bothered me more than usual, lodged
through the car and found a little bit
of a chap, not over seven years old
seated on the lower step. He was all
bumped over and softly crying about
something, or other. At another time
I might have felt pity, but the boys had
got my mad up, and what did I do but
give the little chap a cut with the lash
and call out with such a voice that he
tumbled off into the dust. I saw him
rise up and limp away, and there was
something in the look he gave me that
I shan't forget in a hurry. Whoa now !"
The car stopped to take on two ladies,
and presently the driver resumed:
"DO you know that felt so con-
science-stricken that kept looking for
that boy on every trip, calculating to
make up with him and secure his for
giveness for my brutality. I did not see
him again until the afternoon of the
second day."
"And what did he say ?" was asked as
the driver hesitated.
''He was in his coffin p was the reply.
'It was his funeral procession which
stopped nay car for two or three minutes.
That child was i'll when he tried to steal
his way home with me, and death was
not twenty-four hours away when I
lashed him and chuckled over the way
he rolled into the street I tell you,
sir, when I saw his coffin in the hearse,
and caught a look from the mother,
which seemed to charge me with being
his murderer, 1 got a stab at my heart
that pains me yet, and wouldn't strike
another boy if the reward was to be the
whole line and its outfit. "--DetrOjt Free

A Fortune.

A Western mining paper tells this
story. ''H. Fl. White, who has been
working on the Dunl1irk Mine TO
some time past, last Sunday while readr
ing the Bible under the large pines east
of the mine about half mile, becoming
absorbed in thought, unconsciously
dropped the book from his hands in such
a way that it fell over a precipice about
fifty feet high. Descending into the
canyon to recover it, Mr.. White found
it lying upward, open at the Gospel Of
st. Matthew, chapter vii, while large
piece of quartz, which had been dis
lodged by its fall, lay on top, tearing a
Jagged hole in the seventh verse: 'Ask,
and it shall be given you; seek, and ye
shall find; knock, and it shall be opened
unto YOU" Accepting this as a good
omen, Mr.. White searched, and, in but
a few moments, succeeded in locating
the ledge, which was over two feet in
width and assays 1925, on an average, to
the ton. The mine is the richest thing
yet struck in the district, Id an offer
Of S5, 1000, made to the fortunate owner
Of it, was declined.

An Indian Wedding.

''AIinnie and Chavo want to mally, y
said Chief Charlie, of the Utes, while in
Denver recently. ''He heap big In
Jun, she heap nice squaw. Iniun want
no preacher; Injun want to mally in In
jun like Ute fathers. Mally quick;
right away. Come"
And everybody went.
Crowded in the tepee were about
twenty-five persons. The blushing
bride, in a brilliant dress cut en- train.
stood by the side of the young warrior.
who had changed his attire from one of
warfare to that of mourning. Ranged
on each side of the tent were the braves,
sixteen in number, in full paint and
feather, each with plug hat. Chief
Charlie directed the ceremonies. In a
few words he announced in Ute that the
father and mother of the bride had
selected Chavo for husband and that
Chavo wanted Minnie to darn his socks,
sew on his buttons and such other duties
incumbent upon the squaw of so mighty
warrior. Turning to the bride and
groom he asked the usual questions.
They replied in Ute, whereupon the
chief stepped aside. Thehigh contract
ing parties then seated themselves in
the straw in the middle of the tent,
while around them squatted the braves.
Mrs. Sow-no-winch, mother of the inter-
esting gpappoose, placed around the brides
neck an amulet tied with deer sinew,
and then the ceremony was complete.
At another sign from the chief the
braves began to chant, rising in the
vocal key louder and louder, until the
dirge grew wild and weird, breaking
forth in a harmony of sounds that defied
all musical scoring. From grave to gay
the group had passed with but little in
terim. The assemblage by this time was
metam6rphosed so that the scene was
wild and beyond description. All at
once the commotion cease, so sudden as
to startle the guests. Exhausted, the
braves sank to the ground and the war
rior and his newly made wife passed out i
from the group, he disappearing first
through the lodge entrance and she fol-
lowing.
After the marriage the whole band
took the next train to the city, where
their pictures were taken. Minnie ac-
them. but not with her hus-
band. She was nothing but a squaw,
and realizing her position she strOlled |
about behind the braves as meek as the !
traditional lamb that followed Mary. |
While at school at Albuquerque she gave
of a naturally quick mind, and |
had she been so inclined could have
stayed and eventually become a valuable
to the Governments corps Of
teachers. She preferred the wild life of
ler people, and to this she was welded.
