Throughout the provinces ladies OF So

ments for the amelioration OF the condi-
ton OF worliing-glrls in all kinds Of occu-
pations, helping them in their studies
and amuseInents, and cooperating with
them for the better recognition Of their
work and status, AS for example, Lady
Laura Kidding, daughter of Lord Sell

number Of evening homes for girls. At
this center of the lace trade thousands of
factory girls find themselves in an even

At work all day in close atmosphere
they seek for entertainment at night, and
IL Is said that the more experienced very
often lead their innocent companions

What Lady Laura Kidding thinks they
want as an antidote to all this and a ri
yalry are homes where they can be pleas
antly received and entertained, not with
mere dry instruction and study, but with
harmless recreation, music, singing, re-
citing, games and with all the general in
iluence of pure home life and good, wo-
manly companlonship. Many large man.
ufacturers supply these desiderata as
much as possible on the spot, but the
tendency of the factory hands is to yet

their daily labors, and the establishment
of home and pleasant places OF call I'M

fail to be OF the highest social value.

ATTENTIVE AFGHANS.
Plans For Afghan N1Ovements-Iligh
Living.

LONDON, May 13.-Condie Stephen,
bearer of dispatches from Sir Peter
L4umsden to the Government, says:
"The British Commission started
for Tirpui directly after the Penjdeh
battle, reaching the Paropamisus
mountains in terrific snow storm,
which rendered progress slow. Many
camp followers were lost. The de-
fes ted Afghans retreated by another
route, via Maruchak and Bald Murg-
hsb. The Penjdeb is a most fertile
oasis and lovely country, with splen-
did pasture lands. In sprlng-t;me
the ground is literally carpeted with
flowers. DR.. Atchison, botanical ex-
pert, was delighted. He made val
liable collection of flora. The valley
abounds in game. TIE party killed
about $50 pheasants daily. Murghab
river abounds in water fowl, and the
hills are stocked with gazelles, ante
lope, wild sheep and pigs. The At
ghans were always kind and atten-
tive to the wants of the Commission,
and did their utmost to provide them
with food and comforts, though the
task was difficult, az the country is
uninhabited. The party saw the ruins
of numerous ancient towns, When
Mr.. Stephen left the Commission, all
the memt ers We're in good health
and spirits.
RAILWAY AND MILITARY ROADS.
Earl Kimberly, Secretary tor ln-
dia,apnounced in the House of Lords
yesterday, that plan had been offi-
cially sanctioned, involving an out
lay of $4,000, ,O0U for railway and mill
itary roads, including line to Quetta,
for the defense of India.

AMONG THE RED MEN.
A Butte Mans Trip to the Lemhi
Agency and What he Saw.

Fred Taylor, the well-known auc-
tioneer, has just returned from an
extended trip to the Lemhi Agency
and through the valley of the Salmon
river country and speaks in the
highest terms of the country through
which he passed and it's possibilities
for the future both in agriculture and
mining. He was accompanied on
his Journey from Dillon, by Shoshone
Bill, the. well-known scout, but by
some mishap they lost the way and
were two days without food, trying
to find it, and when they did get
their bearings they we're at the head
of Bloody Dick Greek. He reports
that the Indians at the agency are
all in excellent condition and spirits,
perfectly contented and that the out
look for the crops are excellent. Mr..
Taylor further reports that the we'll
known chief, Tendoy, and his two
sons, Tobacco Juice and Jack Tendoy,
are now en- route for Butte and will
arrive here in few days. The party
bring with them Is horses, So buck
skins, 4S beaver skins and % salmon
varying IN weight from to Is
pounds. The latter being packed 80
as to keep them sweet and fresh.
Regarding the mines he states that
HAYS & McEwen, of the Blue Wing
mine at Bannock, are working
twenty men and are shipping ore
from the mine to Argenta, thence to
Omaha, and are realizing handsome
profit. The returned voyager is of the
opinion that he has passed through a
portion of Goods country" and that
when the work of development does
begin in good earnest, as it must
soon, there will oe no more beautiful
or remunerative spot in the country.

Black Watch.

The "Black Watch" of Scottish
song and verse was so called because
organized to preserve peace and pre-
vent robberies by night in the north
ern counties of Scotland. 1t con-
sisted originally of six companies,
but was formed into regiment in
1889. A former regulation was that
ALI g members should be Highland
ers, but in later years, owing to the
Selling of Scottish soil for gentle
mems parks and deer closes, and the
consequent scarcity of tillabie land,
the sons of Scotland departed for
other climes to such an extent that
the Black Watch regiment degen-
Grated into hired soldiers, largely
from England and Ireland. In l743
the regiment was ordered to Ger
many. to take part in an active cam
paixn, but there was much dissat's-
faction, which was only quelled by
the soldiers being told they were
going to London to be reviewed by
the King. About the time they
reached London, however, the King
derarted hastily for Germany, which
80 incensed the Black Watch tnat
about two hundred of them, who de-
clared the Kings act an insult, start
ed to return on foot to Scotland.
They got as faras NorthamptOnshire,
when they were met and induced to
rejoin their regiment in London. Ar
irving there the two leaders were
shot, although the entire number had
MADE themselves popular heroes.
Their fight has often been compal ed
to the retreat of the Ten Thousand.
The Black Watch afterwald waived
its objection to going abroad and
greatly distinguished itself at Fonte-
nOy.

A Fever Epidemic.

PHILADELPHIA, May 12.-At to-
days meeting of citizens for the re-
lief of the sufferers by fever at Ply
mouth, the Police Surgeon detailed
his visit to the infected region. He
reported that he found that the re-
ports had not been exaggerated. In
some instances four or five persons
were ill in one house, with three or
four in one room. Ia some instances
two or three dead persons were in
the same house. The only school,
house had been turned into a hos
pital. Philadelphia has contributed
$1,000. In many cases the father or
mother of large family of children
has died. He heard of a case in
which the father and mother were
both down with the fever and being
nursed by a fourteen-year-old boy,
who was also caring for a small babe.
DIR. Shakespeare, who also went to
investigate the disease, said that un-
less disinfectants were freely used
the disease would not be wiped out
this summer.

The ssSmOkehOuse" Cases.

To-day several of the long litigated
and well known 'Smokehouse" cases
will come up before the District
Court at Deer Lodge, to which q
change of venue had been obtained.
The company will be represented by
w. w. Dickson, as counsel, and 1t is
probable the trials will last several
days. In the meantime, Messrs:
Curtis & Majors were busily engaged
yesterday in preparing deeds for sew
eral residents who had compromised
the cases, and making the deed of
conveyance to the Opera House COM
pany, to whom the ground had been
presented by the "SmokehOuse"
company, and also to the Odd Eel
lows, who obtained their ground on
the same terms.

GLADSTONE'S DIPLOMACY.
He Continues to Hold His Prestige
by Small Majority in
the Commons,
But Has to Make Many Explanations
Regarding Both Afghanistan
and the SOudan.

LONDON, May 12.-In the House
of Lords this afternoon, Granville
corrected his statement of yesterday
concerning the Afghan dispute, and
said that the agreement reached be-
tween himself, the Earl of Kimberly,
Baron De Staal and M. Lessar in
respect to the Afghan boundary pro-
ceedings, was not completed in Lon
don. as yesterdays statement would
imply, but had be IN put in shape for
submission to Russia for her accept
ance.
IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS
Mr.. Gladstone stated that that the
agreement which has been reached
hy Earl Granville, Earl Kimberly,
Raron De Staal, and M. Lessor
respecting the Afghan boundary, had
hean forwarded by Baron de Staal
to st Petersburg for approval. Baron
De Staal and M. Lessar had not,
Gladstone said ,!acted as Russian plen-
,notentiaries in the conference which

De Staal desired to have it stated that
Lord Granville, Earl Kimberly,
M. Le.sar and himself had agreed to
draft an agreement, and that he DE-
StaaN had forwarded it to Russia,
giving it his support.
ANOTHER SLIM VICTORY.
The motion of Sir Edward Massey
Lopes, (left Conservative member for
south DevoD) to insert a clause In
the registration act charging the ex-
pense of registry to the General
Treasury being called up, Gladstone
strongly opposed it. The motion
was finally rejected by vote OF 2So

ernment from las; nights tally of,
and two from the opposition.
In answer to question, Childers,
Chancellor to the Exchequer, an

The Pittsburg Trunk Mystery Solved
by the Confession Of Three Italians,
Now Under Arrest in Chicago.

WINNIPEG, May 12.-The tele-
graph line was repaired this after
noon, and some tidings of the fight
ing at Batouche have come through.
All the dispatches indicate that up
to last night the contest was con-
fined to an artillery fire on the reb-
els stronghold and skirmlshes. The
casualties among the troops up to
this morning included two men
killed and fifteen wounded. Dis
patches to military headquarters and
Commissioner Wrigley here are to
the effect that fighting is still going
on to-day, and that General Middle
ton is anxious tor n ore troops. Colo
mel Scott's battalion has been ordered
north from Qu'Appelle. Advices to.
night states that eight companies OF
volunteers and infantry school corps
have been ordered from New Bruins
wick and the Prince of Wales
Rifles from Montreal Another On
tario battalion is already on the way.
This Is taken to mean that the Gov
ernment has more alarming news
IuAu Ids yct UCcu Adu0 pu0AACS 00
no one here can see any great neces-
sity for bringing up more troops. It
may be that the Government has
once more got into an unnecessary
panic. Al all events Middleton is
evidently not prepared to storm the
rebel stronghold, and intends either
to starve them out, or harrass them
into surrender, or wait for rein
How long either plan
may be carried out there is no means
of knowing accurately, as the most
contradicting stories are afioat re-
garding the rebels stores of ammu-
milton and provisions. 1t is not
known what has become of the
steamer "Northcote," but some sup
pose she has gone on to Pnnce Al
bert.
OTTAWA, May 12.-General Mid
dleton has ordered up new forces to
his command and wants
more cannon and GatliDg guns. The
Bruce battalion has been called out
and the Montreal garrison of artll-

SHOOTING AFFRAY.
An Innocent Man the Victim of a
Misdirected Bullet.

About 11:30 o'clock last night a
shooting afray occurred in the
usually quiet Tudor Theater which
may result seriously for the unoffend-
ing victim. From the testimony of
those present it appears that Ed
Ryan, one of the performers, and
Pat McCann, q we'll known character
IN this vicinity, were engaged in q
conversation near the end of the bar,
which resulted in some angry words
between the pair, at which McCann
pushed his opponent, saying; II do
not like you any how" In second
Ryan raised chair to strike and as
he did 50 McCann responded with q
revolver and shot 80 quickly that the
chair fell and Ryan disappeared. As
Ill luck would have it John McNally,
an employe of the theatre, was pass
ing toward the bar at the time and
the flying bullet struck him in the
right leg about four inches above the
knee and penetrating the center of
the thigh bone lodged in the fieshy
part of the lower side. After firing
the shot both the participants to
the fracas fled, and the wounded man

two there was considerable confusion,
but comparative order was soon
restored, although the performance
was Immediately suspended and the
audience requested to retire. In
response to a Summons, DR.. Labrie
was soon on the spot, and was
shortly after reinforced by DR..
Holmes. The bullet was extracted,
the wound dressed and the sufferer
made as comfortable as possible, but
he will have a pretty severe siege.
with the chances of losing the
wounded leg.
A few moments after the affray the
Chief of Police and several of the
officers were at the spot, and Oh
ascertaining the facts started in pur-
suit of the culprits. About midnight
officer Mcdonald found and arrested
Ryan aud lodged him in Jail, and as
all the force are ON the lockout for
McCann, it is probable he will be
rounded up before morning. The
Tudor is one of the best conducted
places of amusement in the city, and
the victim one of the most popular
and inoffensive of it's employees,
which makes this affair the more de-
plorable.

the Grenadiers. Riel sent q mes
senger to General Middleton early in
the day saying: If you persist in
firing upon the houses contain
ing our women and children
we will massacre the prisoners in
our hands" The General in reply
told him to gather his women and
children in one house and 1t would
not be fred on. Later Riel sent an
answer to Middleton thanking him
for his humane promise to save the
women and children, but afterwards,
just as general attack was being
made he sent another messenger say
ing he did not like war, but unless
the troops retired his original inten-
ton of massacreing the prisoners
would be adhered to; but it came too
late. The charge had already COM
iuenced and IN a few minutes the
rebels were scattered and the prison.
