The Amphitheatre.

The largest concourse OF people
that ever assembled in rink In
Montana We're at the Amphitheatre
last evening, to witness or participate
in the Grand Masquerade Carnival,
which inaugurated the opening OF
this magnificent building. Over
three hundred skaters were in cos
tune. and as they moved around in
one grand circle uEder the brilliant
electric lights to the inspiring strains
Of the fine band they presented, in
their flashing and various hued cos
tunes, a spectacle Kaleidoscope in
ever changing brilliancy.
At the hour appointed the skaters
unmasked, and the prizes were
awarded as follows: For the best sus-
tanned character by q lady, Miss
Johanna Mcdonnell, who repre-
sented Night. For best sustained
character by gentleman. Mr.. Ed.
Graves, who represented Jumbo.
Miss Florence Young was awarded
the prize for the handsomest Co.'S
TUNED person. Many others de-
serve special mention for the superior
manner in which they sustained the
characters they represented, but the
crowded condition of our columns
forbids it. The event will be long re-
membered by the participants and
spectators as one of the most mag
nifcent and enjoyable that has ever
taken place In Butte.

Our Merchants.

There has never been q season
previous to this when there has
been such an elegant line of goods, of
all classes brought into the territory
and placed before an admiring
public, and it may safely be said that
never have the sales been as large. as
they are now at the present date.
Yesterday the city was full of people
from the surrounding country all
purchasing Christmas goods. We
dropped into the establishment of
Sands & Boyce, that we might see
for ourselves the vast stock which
that firm have imported for this
trade. Entering the house we were
shown through the gents furnishing
goods department., where upon the
tables were piled in perfect order tier
upon tier, of the finest clothing of
the latest styles. From thence we
were conducted to the dry goods
department, where was shelved one
of the finest stocks of dry goods
which has ever been offered to the
public.
We next drop into the palatial
store Of Leyson & Turck, whose dis
play of holiday goods, watches,
clocks, silver ware and jewelry, is
Sc e>ond to none. No more accommo>
dating men are to be found in Butte
than LeysOn & Turk. We now re:
trace our steps a short distance and
drop in on Goldsmith & Co., where
we find one of the most complete
stocks of Clothing, Gents furnish
ing goods. Boots and Shoes. which is
to be found in our magic city. We
now find ourself at Santa Claus
headquarters, Mr.. Samuel Lewis.
After carefully inspecting his large
stock, we saw that Santa Claus had
made NJ mistake in his appoint
ment of q special agent at Butte this
year.
We next drop in ON Casey & Bro
ply, and l.. w. Foster l. Co., and
while they do not carry special
stock for the holidays, they supply
the wants of the inner man. In
looking around their stores, we saw
that they were supplied with every /,
thing in the provision line, from the
choicest canned Goods to the much !
despised. by some, Limburger cheese.

Among those in the city VINO have
added largely to the volume and
attractiveness of their stock in order
to meet the demands of the holiday
trade is the popular firm of T..
Denoon & Co. In order to satisfy
the most refined taste these gentle
men with an enterprise as rare as it
is commendable have drawn upon
the resources of the sunny lands of
Southern Europe as we'll as upon the
most favored regions of North and
South America. Toothsome grapes
and figs from Malaga, oranges from
the Mediterranean, raisins from
the Spanish islands. choice
confections from Paris, nuts
from Brazil, crystaljze apricots,
cherries, plums, etc., from the famed
orchards of the most favored sections
of the country in fancy packages,
fine>flavOred apples from California
and the East, genuine merschaum
pipes and cigar and cigarette holders;
in fact everything that can be found
in first-class store dealing in this
line of goods can be found at Tommy

make pleasing gifts to their children,
friends who wish to present me-

would make glad the hearts of their

work. giving helping hand upon
all occasions. Especially the ladies,
who have at various times devoted
much of their time and energies to
the work of the other churches in all
their charitable undertakings. To-

i 90 chsrred and blackened that identi-

\ believed that most of the children
4 who perished were in the ill-fated
Josephine's ward. Men engaged in
pycavating the ruins of the laundry
found the remains of nine BOYS and
two grown persons. Who the adults
we're is not ascertained yet. The
Sisters are unwilling to be inter-
viewed, but it is plain to be seen that
their list of inmates rescued does not
come up to the full number. This ia
explained ty a statement that the
children may have been cared for In
private houses and will turn up.
The fact is, that last night only one
child was admitted to be missing and
this morning a dozen bodies were
found. These facts tell their own
CHASTITY story with pOsitiveness that
isappalling.
LATER. BrooklyD's latest horror
l. another evidence of the sad truth
that no amount of good intentions
can at ,ne for lack of proper pre-
caution and vigilance. Hundreds of
children in the asylum were tenderly
protected against all harm except
that which could most easily guardt d
against, that of fire. There was u
very large water hydrant in the yard
with four butts, but there was no
hose in or about the building or any
other means of extinguishing
the fire, so what began as q
trvisl accident ended in an
awful tragedy. At the time
the ire began, the larger boys In the
Institution were playing In the court
yard. max ing slides on newly fallen
snow, or snow-b.lling. It was visit
ing day, and many parents of the
children had come to see them.
About 35 children were In the in |
Urinary on the second floor, under the |
care of Sisler Anthony. their little |
wan faces were peering at the win
dowS 1t Is yet absolutely impossi-
bic to tell where the inmates of the |
Institution can be t)und. In the |
station houses, car stables and pri-
vate homes, The waits have found
shelter.
Late this afternoon a list of chill |
dren was made up, and 123 were un-
accounted for. While it may turn |
out that not one among these, is !
among the ruins, the fact remains,
that tons of burnt timber, warped |
iron and fallen bricks have not yet |
been removed, which may entomb
many more corpses than has
been recovered. The Trustees
Of the Home have hired
3 force of men to continue the search
until it is settled beyond question
that there are no more bodies in the
wreck Of the building. In a room of
the saved portion OF the asylum
proper, are the bodies of those who
have ueen found. Thev are tied up
in sheets. Any effort to Identify
them would be perfectly useless. In
that room Is onl y story of loss OF
life
