IRRIGATING MONTANA.
& Gigantic Scheme for Redeeming the
Bad Lands Of Montana in Which st. Paul
Capitalists are Interested,
Especial Telegram to the Globe.


Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 17.-Dr. A. G. Girard, of
Miles City, Mont, a surgeon in the regu-
lar army, is in the city at the Grand
Pacific hotel in the interest of gigantic
irrigation project, by which it is proposed
to convert a vast tract of barren territory
into wheat granarY district. He favored
the GLOBE correspondent with an interest
ing outline of the work already completed
and that in contemplation. Said he:
Some time ago we conceived the idea OF
utilizing the large area of worthless land
in the vicinity of Miles City by building
monstrous ditch from a point on
Tongue river about sixteen miles
above the city and running
it to a point on the Yellowstone
about the same distance below the city. A
stock company was organized by army
officers and st. Paul capital
lists chiefly, with a capital
stock of 100000. The idea was to take
the water from Tongue river, which is con-
siderably elevated above the territory i'm
mediately south of it, and by artificial
means to supply the dry land which is now
absolutely worthless. The stock was all
sold and work has so far advanced that the
first half of the ditch is completed. Thus
far it has been a wonderful success. The
water is carried from the up
per river and deposited in large
basin in the foothills 1850
feet long, LOO feet wide and eleven feet
deep, and with a capacity of 10O,OOO,OOO
gallons. This is about mile from Miles
City and about thirty-two feet above. By
it we have already converted about 10000
acres into some of the best growing wheat
territory in the northwest, and land that
was held at mere nominal figure is now
worth from $50 to 500 an acre. Our
revenue amounts to about 81 per acre, so
that you can readily see the profit there is
in the business. But quite number of
the original stockholders were unable to
meet their assessments. and conse-
quently dropped out, and my purpose in
coming here is to fill up the vacancies.
The climate of Montana is exceedingly dry
and our aim is to supply by art what ma
ture has denied. How well we have sue
ceeded is manifested in the result, which
speaks for itself. We propose now to
carry out our original plan by extending
the ditch sixteen miles below the CITY to
Buffalo Rapids on the Yellowstone, where
we have an irrigating drain thirty two
miles in length, with capacity for sup
plying from 10000 to $4,000 acres. Miles
City also draws its entire water supply
from the same source, and there
will be an unlimited quantity of pure
water that will furnish all
the cities in the vicinity. Upper Montana
has been improved in the same way so that
the idea is not at all experimental. There
is no reason why the southwesterns por-
tions of the territory need not be made
the very garden spot Of the northwest. for
its soil possesses wheat growing proper
ties superior to all others. All that il
needs is artificial irregation, and The work
will be done.

Re5ukin$ the Pope.

CHICAGo,J June 16.-A mass meeting, call
ed for the avowedpurPose of rebuking the
pope for Interference in the political
affairs of Ireland was we'll attended. 1000
people pressing into the the West Twelfth
street Turner hall tonight. The series or
resolutions adopted while directed at his
holiness, did not use his name, but some of
the speakers did and rather freely. The
resolutions after recounting what Parnell
had done for ireland, declared that the
best answer to his traducers in whatever
quarter, would be found in swelling
fund to release his estate from debt.
Alexander Sullivan, president of the ma
tional league, declared that if the pope
attempted to prevent the liberty of Ireland
he would be pushed aside by an indignant
people, Congressman Finerty contended
that England would have no greater sue
cess in pc pc ting Ireland by marching
on Rome than she could have by marching
on Washington. The non-popal utter
ances were applauded.

Mrs. L0ngtry to Marry GebhdFt,
Washington Special.

The Sunday Herald gossiper says
"The Jersey Lily is to be married to Mr.
Frederick Gebhart in the coming autumn
by which time she will be free from the
bonds matrimonial and at liberty to do SO
as she will. Ny information goes fur
ther, and says divorce will be obtained
under the law of New York, which grants
divorces for abandonment or desertion for
two years. The fair Lily will plead the
fact that Mr.. Langtry has abandoned her
and has done nothing toward her support
for the period mentioned. There is quite
a difference between Mrs. Langtry and
Mr.. Gebhart in the matter of age, she
being about thirty y-two and he twenty-four,
but then that is their affair. Mrs. Langtry
has made about $4,000, which she
now has above her expenses, and Mr.. Geb-
hart's fortune is rated at $4,000 a year.

"How do, Bill" growls the old gentle-

Vanderbilt stalks on, and it looks
verv much as though he had been

A PLAYEp.OUT AMERIcANISM
The Danger Invited by the Inde-
pendence OF the Self Reliant Ameri-
can Girl.

tChicago Herald.l
The frequency with which violence
is now done to Young women iii this
country suggests the idea that one
Americanism has been carried too far.
Europeans who have made u study of
our social customs have been impressed
with and not little astonished 10y the
independence, faarlessness and self
reliance OF the American girl. In the
home, on the street, on cars or steam
boats, in parks, at places of amuse-
ment. on lonely country roads,
and, in short, in nearly every walk OF
life. day or night, she may he found,
sometimes in company. but often with
out. When strangers have expressed
their amazement at the freedom gianted
the Young women, and their wonder
that harm was not done them, or tlat
they were not misled, the answer has
usually been that the American girl
was smart enough to take care Of her
self, and that there was 10 improrriety,
and certainly no danger, in her enjoy
ing the companionship oil her friends OF
either Sex unmatched.
This boast does not hold good in these
days. The daily record Of murders. as
saults, elopements, and so.called abduc-
tons shows that advantage las been
taken of the custom which throws young
girls entirely upon their own resources
long before their arrival at womanhood.
Many young woman over whose dead
body q verdict OF murder or suicide has
been passed has owed her destruction
to chance acquaintances formed
unknown to her parents at
times when, obeying the un-
written law of the country, she has
been "off by herself" Probably no
one will deny that, if the social customs
of England had been in force in this
country, Jennie Cramer would yet be
alive. Zoe Watkins, of st. Louis,
would not have gone down to shame
and death; Miss Churchill's parents
would not be securing the country for
her in vain, and Rose Amber would
not have died bv murderer's hand on
the banks of the Raven stream if, fol-
lowing the salu.ary example of Euro
pean society, their parents had ex-
ercised becoming care and watchfulness
over them.
These oft-repeated tragedies, most
of them deeply mysterious, can be
laid to the American habit of throwing
the responsibilities of q man on the
shoulders of young, weak. and inexpe-
rienced girls. In the light of these
frightful crimes We can no longer
afford to smile as of old at the alleged
prudery of English society. 1t may
be irksome at times, but it preserves
the young and fair from murder and Q
fate even worse,

The Dude.

The New York correspondent of the
Brooklyn Eagle, a sort of MAN About
Town" notes the introduction of a new
word into the language. 1t is dude
or d-o-o-d, the spelling not having been
distinctly settled yet. Nobody knows
where the word came from, but it has
sprung into popularity within the past
few weeks, and everybody is using it.
The correspondent says of it:
1t means masher, and vet it means
something more than a masher For in
stance, a masher may be young or old,
he may mash by virtue of his politeness.
of his accomplishments, of his wealth,
beauty, eyes, nose or face; he may be a
man OF mature years, an old man, a
young man, or boy. In speaking of
mashers one is never sure exactly what
sort of man is meant. There is
class of mashers in New York who will
now have a definite place in the Ian
guage of the town aS dudes. A dude
cannot be old; he must be young, and
to be properly termed dude he should
be one of a certain class who affect the
metropolitan theaterS. A dude is from
19 TO 2S years of age, wears trousers of
extreme tightness, is hollow-chested,
effeminate in his way, apes the English,
and distinguishes himself among his
fellowmen as lover of actresses. The
badge of his Office is the paper cigar
cite, and his bell-crown English opera
hat is his chiefest joy. They are seen in
large numbers at the theaters, where
they form one of the interesting features
of the evening entertainments. They
are offensive, because they blow cigar
ette smoke in ladies' faces and monop-
olize the bar between the acts. As q
rule they are rich mems sons, and very
proud of the unlimited cash at their
command. They call all actresses by
their first names and affect extreme
familiarity with all things pertaini = to
the stage; but in reality they know very
little personally of the men and women
of the dramatic profession. Still the
dude always possesses particular favor
ite of the reigning theatrical celebrity.
They are harmless lot of men one
way, for they are too shallow pated and
weak to accomplish any harm, but they
are sometimes offensive. No dude is a
real dude who does not talk to felloW
dude in loud voice during the play;
also, no dude who respects himself ever
takes lady to the theater. They run
in pairs, and compare notes between
the acts
