The Pavilion.

The unusual attrs ctions presented
at the Pavilion last evening filled
the large building to repletlon, The
entries for the clown race of two
miles were Richard Porter. Frank
Hitler and Will Schatzl,an. Porter
won the race easily by lap, Hitler
second. No time given. The great
event of the evening was the third of
the series of the medal races-One
mile. The entries were Schultz,
Reynolds and Wright, the three
fastest roller skaters In Mon
tana. Each ran alone. Schultz took
the floor first and made the mile in
four minutes twenty-five and four
fifth seconds; Reynolds followed and
finished the twenty-three laps in four
minutes twenty-four seconds, and
Wright made the run In four min
utes twenty-seven and two-tifths
seconds. This gives each Of the
contestants one race and another one
will have to be run to decide the
contest and the possession of the
medal. The time made by all is the
fastest ever before made in Butte
aud we believe in the Territory.

CONSECUTIVE POLYGAMY

Governor Bourn, of Rhode Island,
In his message to the Legislature
recently, called attention to the
practice of consecutive poIygamy"
in that State. "The State of Rhode
Island" says the Governor, frankly,
''has acquired reputation in regard
to divorces as uuenviable as it has in
the matter Of illiteracy. The proper
tion of divorces to marriages is con-
stantly increasing. In 1882 there
was one divorce to every OH mar
riages, and when we consider that
probably one-third of our population
are adherents to the Roman Catholic
Church lin which divorces are not
recognized for any causel the propor-
tion Of divorces becomes absolutely
startling. For the ten years end
ing December 81, 1882, there were
2,S24 applications for divorce In
the State, Of which 2,2Ol were
granted Ihe large majority OF these
divorces were granted without oppo-
sition. and therefore upon ex-parte
dispositions, which are practically
only such depositions of interested
parties as would make a prima facie
case. Though the law provides that
no divorces shall be granted If it shall!
appear that there is cOllusion be
tween the parties, yet ii Is u well
known fact that in large uuu-
Der Of cases there is actu coliusion, !,
though it may not be brought to the
attention of the court" This is \
fearful showing, and ought to wake
up not only the Legislatures, but the
preachers, of "I.lttle Rhedy.'

TARIFF REDUCTION.

Day before yesterday Mr.. Morrison,
Chairman of the House Committee
on Ways and Means. introduced his
tariff bill. 1t provides for reduction
of 20 or 25 per cent. upon many az
ticles and less or greater reduction
on others. His bill will pass the
House, and that is rs far rs it will
go. No bill providing for material
reduction in tariff rates will lind fa-
vor in the Republican SENATE Re
publican statesmen nave set Shelr
faces against a reduction Of the tariff.
They admit We have al unwieldy
and troublesome surplus revenue.
They are aware that the Secretary OF
the Treasury is fairly bewildered by
the enormous accumulations Of gov
ernment treasure around him and
that he can lind but trihing relief III
calling in bonds, but tncy don't want
to decrease the revenue by reducing
taxation or the tariff, Their plan is
to raise customs uties 20 high as To
reach prohibition and stop importa-
tiuns. This is the remedy, they
hold, that conlmends itself 10 Repub-
lican Craftsmanship.
Let Ia now see what the result
would be. by levying prohibitory
duties, lmpOrtations would be shut
out aud no customs duties could be
collected. That proposition is plain
enough. Then what would follow?
Foreign exchange would be cut cit.

and the only member of the Cabinet

Some surprise has been exprt 3 ed at
the Presidents refusal to attend the

Funeral Of Wendell Phillips.

Funeral Of Wendell Phillips.
BosTpN, Feb. Cat an early
hour this morning people hogan t0
gather absut the late residence OF
Wendell Phillips. None were ad-
mitted tn the house but Intimate
friends and relations. There were
no servicesin the house. At 1855
the cDtfin was borne from the hUuse
to the hearse. Several hundred per-
sdns. Including many o.wOrkers,
followed the remains to the Hcliis
street church, where the funeral
services were held. C ,nduct-d by Rev.

assisted by Rev. Samuel May, of
Leicester. Among the prominent
clergymen present in the pulpit
were R+vs. Edward Everett Hale.
G. A. Bartol. James Freeman Clark,
A. M Miner. and Mlnot J. Savage.
The interior of the church was
jammed to suff0catiOn by The friends
and relatives of the dead orator.
Among those attending the services
". re large coniniittets from both
houses Of the Legislature, the Com

gates from the Womens' Suffrage
Association, labor organic atoms,
Temperance societies, Irish societies.
Freethinkers Associations, American

prominently identified. After the
services the body was borne to Fam

gotten into order by the police the
public formed into lines and were
admitted to the hall. The face of
