The Silver BOW Club.

The newly frescoed and decorated
gallons Of the Silver Bow Club pre-
sented an unusually brilliant appear
ance last night on the occasion ofthe
Clubs first annual party. Since its
inception the club has been asignal
social success of q masculine sort,
but last night for the first time
the spacious and elegant apart
ments were graced by the presence
of ladies and the charm which their
attendance lent to the already at
tractive features of u bon-ton club
will undoubtedly mark a new era in
its management, and hereafter Butte
society will hope many repetitions
may occur of the very pleasant party
of last night. To the luxuries of the
table, which were elegantly purveyed
by that prince Of caterers, Dan Wag-
ner. were added the fascinating
pleasures of terpsichore and some
thirty couples threaded the military
mysteries of the L0nciers or glided
through the may waltz to the in
spring strains of music furnished by
those accomplished artists. Messrs.
Van Orion, Kennicott and Fitschen,
while Prof. Leford called the sets.
It was q delightful party, and the
new departure of the Silver Bow
Club adds an important resource to
the social life of Butte society.

Katie Putnam.

The peerless actress with her inim-
liable company will open at Renshaw
Opera House Monday evening. Katie
Putnam needs no passport to the
favor of Montana audiences, but
those who have admired her peerless
impersonations in times past will
glory in her triumph before eastern
audiences. The Boston Sunday
Times says Of her engagement at the
Boston Theatre:
miss Katie Putnam last night
brought her successful engagement
to a'close, and she made her farewell
appearance to a crowded house. She
has, during her stay in our city, won
for herself unfading laurels as an ar
tiste, and gained q hold upon the
good will, as we'll al excited the adj
miration Of our people.
Miss Putnam's acting is something
rare. 1t Is grand in many of its fea-
lures. It is earnest, enthusiastic,
genius-like, and carries with a power
to control an audience. It Is neces-
sary to judge her by others. She is
true to her own genius and powers,
and her approximations not only bear
the stamp of a lofty superiority, but
they have successfully met the pol
ished criticism of the ablest pens."

BUTTE CITY, Nov. 30, 1883.
Editor Butte Miner:
To the City Council and all whom
it may concern:
may not be fully posted on what
I wish to say, but I understand the
Butte Fire Brigade are about to store
their hose, hose carts and all imple-
ments used for extinguishing fires,
after having been in actual service
many times, and saved many thous-
and dollars from being consumed
by the fiery element. They have
always been ready to turn out and
usually they were first on the ground
and a. good workers as any set of
men that could be picked out of this
city. Now, where Is the trouble?
They say that $50 per month would
pay all the necessary expenses to
keep up the organization, and at all
times in readiness to. 60 at the first
alarm. Do we as citizens want this
we'll organized aud equipped compa-
ny blocked out and at the very sea-
son of the year when they might
be most needed? I for one pay taxes,
license, etc., and am willing to pay
more If it would be any protection. I
want no better insurance than
well organized and equipped fire
companies, especially when in
surance costs more than the profits.
There must be a blind deal some
where, whether it is with the city au-
thorities or others; it certainly il not
for the benefit of citizens who have
got anything to save. I always sup
posed that city officials as we'll as
others held Office for the people and
the peoples good. Is that the case in
this matter? I think not.

as tLey came from the wire cloth frame
packed in huge boxes ready to ship. They
looked good enough for Victoria's table.
She went home having ascertained that
the cream color was the effect of bleach
ing in the fumes of sulphur, procured
machine that pared, cored, and sliced the
apple into a spiral ring at one operation,
and then set the baskets filled with the
rings in an ordinary packing box over the
fumes of sulphur to bleach. The sulphur
was thrown on few live Goals in an ash
pan, one teaspoonful at time, and the
box was closed about fifteen minutes.
This bleached several baskets of rings al
most as white as a sheet of paper. The
apples were then spread and dried in the
ordinary way, and they retained their
beautiful creamy color when dry. They
were then packed in paper bags and put
away. When cooked in the spring they
were entirely free from any smell or taste
of sulphur and as fresh and pulpy as
green apples.-Maine Farmer.
Much less sulphur than is advised
above is required for thorough bleaching.
A rag dipped in sulphur and slowly burn
ing in box below the slicer will bleach
every slice perfectly while it is falling.
The moments passage through the sui
phurized air is sufficient.

Higher Education.

In looking over the curriculum of study
prescribed for those favored females des-
tined to be finished at Columbia college,
one cannot help asking, after getting
through the preparatory COURSE" Isn't
this enough ? Doesn't it contain as
much aliment as the average female
mind is likely to absorb ? 1t is true
enough there are many women equal, in
the matter of education, to that famous
pussy, who, according to the nursery
legend, "Had studied both Latin and
Creek Tongues, living or dead, do not

(so-called), however prone she may be to
leave out the accents in writing Greek,
and, in reading Latin, to ignore both the
Oxford and continental pronunciations.
Let her learn the dead languages, then, if
she pleases, and make the acquaintance of
all the indecent old gods and demi-gods of
mytho-historic times. A knowledge of

Over.PrOtectiOn.

1t is over-protection which causes the
trouble in the wooden goods trade. These
mills have an abundance of water power,
they have little or no rent, they pay an
average of eighty cents per day only to
operatives. Besides all this advantage,
the mill owners have seen displacement
of manual labor by steam machinery in
their mills of about eighty per cent in
forty years. For example, in a Philadel-
phia yarn mill 100 persons will produce
more yarn in one day by help of improved
machinery than 100000 women with spin
ming wheels could have produced in days
gone by in months time. So it is with
every class of labor or manufacture. Let
the farmer look at the machines about
him-labor saving, labor displacing. M.
de Lesseps has at Panama steam dredges
that each do the work of thousand men.
What need Of more protection to any
industry-infant or full grown-than lies
in this improvement in lsbor-saving ma.
