The way in which Mr.. Hart OF the Excise
Board. involves himself in conflicts OF veraclty
is truly painful. 1t is only few days since
h, and Commissioner Mitchell asserted that
notorious resort uptown was licensed because
it vas approved by Mar. Whitney, Chairman OF
the Executive Committee of the Society Tor Tue
Prevention of Crime. They were fatty contra
dicted by Mr.. Whitney. Mr.. Hart is equally
unfortunate IN regard to the licensing OF the
vile dance house kept by @The." Allen IN
Bleecker-st He says that Mr.. c. Z. GildersleeNe'
secretary Of this same Society for the Pre-
yent,on of Crime, declared that the society
would not oppose the granting OF incense
10 Allen. Now Mr.. Gildersleve denies this
statement emphatlcally, and describes 1t IN
forclble word spelled with three letters.
These are unequal contests into which the
Excise Board enters. 1t will be difficult to con-
vince this community that the men who man
age the Society for the Prevention OF Crime
would stultify themselves so far as to approve
of resorts for thieves or worse such as Allen anu
the French Madame keep.

Public opinion In London, as Will be seen

The English people are likely soon to have
their love for freedom of speech severely
tried. The Revolutionary League is arranging
for a great meeting in the British capital OF
Anarchists from all parts of the world The
present is not a propitious time for such a
gathering in such place. The English just
now are in no pleasant mood toward professors
of dynamite doctrines. These are too
nearly il harmony with the principles
of Irish Invincbles to be listened
. to with eQnanimity. What the RevolutiOnists
mean 10 do looks much like an attempt to beard
the British Lion in his den.
The international aspects of the Irish ques-
ton give our regular London correspondent his
most interesting topics iD his Geographic review
OF the events of the week. Mr.. Parnelfs visit TO
Paris seems to be accounted diplomatic mis-
sion, for he IL openly charged with playing on
French ignorance of Irish affairs and insti-
eating NJ. Henri Rochefort to proclaim war on
Great Britain. The Irish leader will have an
opportunity of deny ing these mysterious rumors
when Parliament reassembles, but he may dis
dain TO make use of it. Apparently there is no
foundation for the reports so Industriously CIR
culated on this side of the Atlantic, that the
British Foreign Office has undertaken to read an
impairment lecture to the authorities at WASH
ington OH the subject of the license OF the Irish
American press. Whatever representations
have been made, have been discreet and

BETTING WOMEN.

Women are the most persistent bet
tcrs at the races when the fever once
takes strong hold. Among the many
regular attendants. no matter how
stormy the weather may be. there are
three groups, ut least. that follow the
races from course to course. from the
opening to the closing Of the season
They pick their seats at the beginning of
a meeting rs nearly opposite the win
ming post as possible, occupying the
same position each day. They are en-
abled to do this by reaching the grounds
long before the crowds begin to pour
through the gates. They are gentecl,
well-behaved persons, who appear to
have unlimited financial resources.
One group consists of blonde of Am
azonian proportion, and two small,
rather dark complcNioncd women. Sew
eral years ago relative presented one
of the little women with three lottery
tickets. She kept one of them. and
returned the other two, The ticket she
retained drew prize of $1,000. The
lottery was Il foreign affair. purportingi
to be in aid of some great religious or
charitable work. After receiving the
money the women visited jerome Park
while the French pool system was in
full blast. Choosing horses from the
programme merely because their names
struck her fancy, she won with remark
able frequency. This induced herl
friends to accompany her, until betting
on races seems to have become the main
business of their lives.

awake Irishmen. Many of them ar,
saloon-keepers. livery-stable-kecp
tradesmen, and politicians. They have
plenty OF money, and they all bet freely
On hearing them discuss the merits OF
the horses, what weights they can carry
and win, what distance suits them best,
which is the fastest horse on dry
track. and which is the best staycr in

THE wILLOwBURN STOCK FARM.

The H~sbamima~ after truthfully remark.
ing that horse breeding promises to be.
come one of Montana's leading industries,
asks the question who first conceived the
idea of making horse growing in Montana
Territory permanent and profitable bust
ness, ard who first undertook the task Of
breeding up our common horses to bet.
ter standard? The IlMsbaxamam, in an.
swering the question, very justly gives tho
credit to our Beavcrhead Valley horseman,
Mr.. James Mauldin. That paper says:
"Now, just who was first to suggest the bu.
siness as a profitable industry, or who has
or has not contributed something toward
it's success, we are not prepared to say, but
Of this we are quite certain, that to James
Mauldin, Of Willowburn Stock Farm, Bea.
verhead County, is due the credit Of first
entering into the breeding of draft horses
the now popular animal Of the day, both
in the States and Territories"

THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE.

Less than two years after the foundation
of Dillon passed when the town began to
assume proportions Of expansion and to
show unmistakable evidences Of prosperity
and permanency, and this created an i,nper.
alive demand for first class School House
In the town. Our citizens were not slow
in recognizing the Importance Of the de-.
mand. Despite the predictions that 1t was
only "a railway station" Dillon has grown
SO rapidly and the business interests have
become SO diversified that there is no long
er any doubt but that it is destined to be.
come the town OF Southern Montana and
the educational center thereof. To provide
the educational facilities SO urgently de.
nanded the fine brick School House, the
construction Of which has just been com
nenced, is needed. The foundation toI
the building, which faces on Sebree street
is now being excavated, and the contrac
tors, Messrs. N. ]. Mcconnell & Co., in
tend to push the work as rapidly as posi-
BILE, and this will insure the completion O
the edifice in ample time for an early open
