Tough on the Butcher.

"Where does your butcher keep his
shop, Mrs. Yeast?" asked young Grim
sonbeak, who had been boarding with
her about week.
Just around the corner here" replied
the lady, little surprised, pointing in
the direction of her butchers. "But,
why do you ask?"
swell, thought I'd go grabbing to-
day, and l want to get even with those
crabs that ate all my bait yesterday. 1

in getting meat that they can't chew at
your butchers. "-[ Yonkers Statesman.

The Amphitheatre.

This immense building was packed
last evening, the attraction being the
two-mile race between Schultz and
Reynolds for $lOC side. Both had
participated in the race for the cham.
pionship at the Pavilion but few
minutes before they appeared upon
the rink at the Amphitheatre, but
they appeared as fresh and as full Of
vigor as they did in the contest on
Granite street. Reynolds won the
inside, but at the word $50" Schultz
took the lead. He maintained it for
the fret three laps, when Reynolds
passed him, but Schultz soon took it
again and kept it up to the fifteenth
lap, when from some cause Schultz
fell on the upper turn of the rink,
dashing his right arm through
the window at that point. Before he
recovered his feet, Reynolds had
made full lap thus shutting out all
possibility Of Schultz winning the
race unless Reynolds meta like mis-
fortune. With his arm bleeding from
several cuts, and one lap behind, the
plucky young boy started in again to
win the race. He passed Reynolds
who in turn passed him. Again
Schultz passed his opponent amid
deafening cheers, but the boy could
not gain the lost lap and although
leading over the score the race and
money was awarded to Reynolds.
Time 9.33a. Thus closed two as
gamely contested races as were ever
skated In Butte.

The Place Money Made for q
Clergymen's Son.

Lord Overstone died this day week
at the great age of 81, the possessor of
wealth which is supposed to have ex-
ceeded even the great sum of twelve
millions sterling. He was the son oi
the Rev. Lewis Lloyd, Unitarian
minister, who abandoned the minis
try for the profession of q banker Oh
his marriage with the daughter Of
Mr.. Jones, Manchester manufact-
urer and tanker. Mr.. Lloyd was sent
to London to found the bank Of
Jones, Lloyd & Co., the germ of the
great bank that is now called the
LondOns and Westminster. Nir.
Samuel Jones Lloyd (who in 1850 be-
came Lord Overstone) was born in
1886, and educated at Eton, and at
Trinity College, Cambridge, where
he acquired a great love of the ASST
cal type of education, OF which he
was always strong advocate.
AS the head Of the banking com
pany founded by his father, he in
herlted great wealth, which he stead
lily increased, ard became a pillar of
the bullionist school OF bankers. He
was also Il great opponent of decimal
coinage tor England. and al active
supporter of the volunteer movement.
When asked before a committee
what he would regard as the proba-
bic financial effect of an invasion of
England, he answered sententiously:
at must never llappen;" an answer
which has become historical. He
was, perhaps, the only millionaire
living to whom enormous money
wealth seemed to give almost as
much dignity and status as the pos
session OF half u county and lineage
dating from the Plantagenets.-Lon-
don Spectator.

An Illicit D1stiller Overcome bv a.

''For ways that are dark and tricks
hat are vain," the ill,rlt distillers OF
South Carolina aud Georgia could
give the ''heathen Chinee" some

men be found whO'are more shrewd,
ingenious, or courageous than these
recklessly unprincipled law-breakers.
These illicit distillers are ali adopts
in the use of fire. arms, and, station

allied to ''pick Off a revenue man

JUBAL EARLY.
Making Sout b Carolina Bear the
Brunt.

Old Jubal Early is character in
Virginia. He is drawn up into a
hard knot with rheumatism and has
face like a hickory nut. His voice
is pitched on very high key, and he
is a compound of shrewdness and
sarcasm IN equal parts. He was
strongly opposed to Secession at the
beginning of the war, although he
fought valiantiy when fighting was
inevitable. In the Virginia conven-
tion of 1861 he attacked the conduct
of South ca olina bitterly. After the
war had fairly begun he had in his
brigade a South Carolina regiment.
1t was observed that old Jubal was
always sure to put that regiment in
the most ticklish place when the
brigade was under fire. During one
of the battles around Richmond Ear
ly's brigade was ordered to the front,
and as usual Early made the South
Carolina fellows head the column,
squeaking out at the top of his voice
as be rode up to them: "Y es. TIL send
you to the from: and pli keep YOU
there. too. You got us into this fix,
and, - you, you've got to get us
out"
During the war he went to church
only once, and his experience then
was not such as to encourage him to
go again. 1t was in the winter of
1854, when the Southern States were
agitating the eXpediency of q con-
scription. General Early was one of
the most ardent advocates OF iC. He
talked conscription in season and out
of season, and wanted to conscript
everything. One Sunday morning,
to the amusement Of his staff, he pro-
posed that they should ride over 10 q
neighbOring church and hear the
sermon. The officers were nearly
paralyzed at the proposition, but OF
course consented promptly. The
country congregation was astonished
at seeing General Early and his en-
tire staff march into church and take
their seats in the front pews. AS
soon as old Jubal settled himself lie
laid his head back and relapsed into
comfortable nap. The clergyman
took Tor his subject the testimony of
the truths of Christianity. After
preaching an hour or two he asked;
"Wbat would YOU say, my breth-
ren, if the dead Of all times and
nations and ages should pass in sol-
emn review before you? What would
be your feelings at seeing this vast
and countless multitude from the
grave? What would you do with
this army of men Of all trades, all
grades, all professions, all of every
kind, before you: I repeat,' with
whack on the desk, "what would
you do:"
''Do:' bawled Jubal, suddenly
aroused from sound nap, "I'd con-
script every -- one of them!"
A roar went up from the congrega-
ton, and Jubal made a bee-line for
the door. .-Ne1v York Sun.

The Pavilion.

An immense crowd assembled a!
the Pavilion last evening to witness
the great mile race on rollers for the
championship Of Montana and
the diamond medal. The entries
were Schultz, Reynolds, Orton and
Wright. The terms of the race were
as follows: Two of the contestants
should run at the same time, each to
start from opposite sides of the rink
and each to have separate timers, the
one making the mile-twenty-
three laps-in the best time to be de-
clared the victor. Schultz and Orton
ran first, Mr.. John w. Forbis tim
ing for Orton and Mr.. Davidson
timing for Schultz. At the tap of
the bell the boys started off like
rockets. For the first fifteen laps no
perceptibie difference could be seen
in their speed, but after the
fifteenth lap Schultz gained
slightly on his opponent,
and passed over his score in 4:3l.
Orton crossing his in 3:34 LIS.
Wright and Reynolds then took the
track. Davidson timing for Rey-
nolds and Forbis for Wright. At
the tap of the bell both skaters struck
a slashing gait, but Reynolds supe-
riorlty as skater was shown from
the start and Oh the sixth lap he
passed Wright when the latter gave
up the race and retired from the
track. Reynolds then "went it
alone" during the rest of the race
and passed his score in 4:34 3-5. As
Schultz made the best time, the race,
championship and medal were
awarded to him. Considerable dis
was expressed at the re
