The combined attacks Of the workingmen on

ing themselves as we'll as showing their enemies
that in union there is strength. See that this is
the case as regards the Pdll0djum. All wage

At the special meeting of the Trades Council to
take action regarding the strike on the Pal0dtuw,
it was voted to appoint committee to prevail
upon the advertisers to withdraw their patronage

Some observations That Show the Value
of Repeating the Operation.
The report of the Board of Health of
Pittsburg, Pa, for the year 1882, just re-
ceiyed by Registrar E. B. Frazer, states that
there were 1000 deaths in that city, equal
to death rate Of "a per 1000 in popula-
tion estimated at 100000. In a special sec
ton devoted to smallpox, the report says:
During the year there were treated at the
Municipal Hospital 313 cases of smallpox,
of whom 1S9 were vaecinated and 124 were
unvaccinated.
OF the 1s9 post vaccinal cases 26 died,
equal to 1875 per cent. OF the 124 un-
vaccinated cases 81 died, equal to 1919 per
cent.
Of the post vaecinal deaths II or 65.4 per
cent. exhibited one mark;.6 6 or 23.1 per cent.
exhibited two marks; 3 or Ills per cent. ex-
hibited three marks.
The ages of those who died from small
pox after vaccination were as follows
From 10 to 90 years, 2; from 20 to 80, 10;
from 80 to 40, s; from 40 to so, 8.

A Poor performanoo Last Nlght.

Undoubtedly one of the worst operate
performances ever given in this city was
presented at the Opera House last night by
the German Opera Company. The piece
chosen to be mutilated was the "Pirates OF
Penzan2e." The whole company was re-
markable for its weakness, but two
or three of the voices being anything
more than ordinary. The only portion
which deserved and received applause and
an encore was the Pirates chorus. The
whole production was painfully tame and
the audience sat listlessiy through the whole
performance, glad when the curtain fell for
the last time. The opera was rendered
the more tame and insipid when compared
with the most excellent season just finished
by the "ldeal" company.

The members of the press were rendered
a private banquet last evening by Opera
Manager Tatnall at Fulmer's. All the
luxuries of the season were on the menu and
the guests fairly groaned. Speeches
were made by eight or ten gentle
men, the witticisms of Messrs. DAVIS
and Crute being remarkably keen and
pointed. The singing of"My Native Land, +"
by Darlington, was loudly encored. With
the health of the "ldeals" drunk in a
bumper of pure water the festivities closed.

Under the above head Miles CITY pa
per of Saturday last publishes the follow
ing item:
Just at daybreak this morning the citi-
zens were awakened by the sharp and re-
peated sound of pistol shots, which was
alarm to all, that another fire had broken
out in some part of the city. 1t was soon
discovered that a shed in the rear of
Leighton g. |ordan's old store was envel-
oped in fats. In few minutes after
the fire was discovered upwards OF two
hundred men were On the grounds fight
ing the flames, which were luckily
checked, saving the entire remainder OF
the block being laid in, ashes. Had the
fire got little more under headway the
town would have sustained loss of no
less than one hundred thousand dollars.
AS it was the damage was slight. The
fire was the work of an incendiary, and
one who is supposed to belong to the
rough element who have made Miles City
their headquarters for some time. The
citizens have got the upper hand in this
matterA and when the laws of the territory
prove failure in bringing the guilty
parties to justice they will follow ."Judge
Lynch's' system of administering Justice,

Then Harrison, with bitter smile, remarked that

That Hoyne was getting off his feet and on his

He was a most sarcastic man, this Harrisonian

Now hold it is not decent for fine Free-trading

To say another is an ass-at least, to all intent;
Nor should the individual who happens to be
