essay on the subject, 1.-THE Marble Waits.
This young lady acquitted herself IN nne
style. and was justly applauded by the
whole audience. 4 piano solo was rendered
by Mrs. u. J. Mcmillan. after which MISS

perfectly at home before the large audience.
and when, after the general address to the
house, she turned to her classmates =
| teachers to bid them adieu it was truly afIect-
ing. Her voice was clear and distinct and she
appeared to be more the matrOn than the
| maid. Yet when the Others did SO well, 1t
| might seem unfair to expatiate further upon
| any particular one. Suffice it to say, the
four young ladies who have just graduated
| at the Deer Lodge High School richly de-
serve all the honors b a have been rom

PRINCIPAL Of the school, presented hediplo..

gentleman being busy in court, could not

was booked for an address, but rom some
reason failed to appear, and his place was

| Lodge. The remarks of Mr.. Whitehall were
well received. Take it altogether, the occa-

THE PENITENTIARY.
This institution is running in good shape
+ under it's new management. LII. uiass, the
! prison physician, says the health OF the m
mates was never better h it ls atpreseht.
Out OF eighty-iye prisoners, only one Is on
| the sick list, and he is a chronic consump-
tive. Speaking Of the Penitentlary your
correspondent, while not disposed 70 nnd
fault would call the attention OF the
| authorities to a much needed improvement.
| The old wing of the prison had only one
| door leading into it. The new portion
| recently built for officers quarters shuts on
| this means of exit. 1t is plainly to be seen
that should the new structure get on nre,
every prisoner would be doomed to PERISH,
as it would be impossible for them to get
out through the heavily ironed windows
The prisoners have protested time and
again, feeling keenly the danger they are
| subjected to, but their entreatles nave as
vet proved Of no avail. These prisoners
| are human beings and life to them IS as
precious as it is to the more innocent and
free. The punishment they are undergoing
is sufficient without adding the horrors at
tending a possible ~conf1agration. A door
in the west end of the old wing would cover
the defect and set uneasy minds at rest.
The late Dude of Helena, and Captain
Mills run the machine during the construc-
ton of the new building, and it is strange
that they would leave it in its present
dangerous shape. It is to be hoped that
| Governor Carpenter will ook into the
matter.
DECORATION DAY.
People here generally observed the day
| and the occasion to pay homage to the
dead. Rev. Mr.. Wood OF the Christian
| Church delivered the Grafton and every
| thing passed off in a BETTING manner.
Judge Galbrath. upon invitation, left Deer
| Lodge yesterday for Butte, to deliver the
Grafton there. The Judge is a fine speaker
| and no doubt your people will be pleased
| with the address which will have been de-
livered before this goes into type.
