men, and extend their forays the

II the President should Die.

A question that is now almost daily
asked IS, "Who would PresideHt Cleve-

!. In case President Cleveland should die
before the expiration of his term no one

until successor could be elected In
case he should die before the assembling
of congress there would be no one to act
a. president until congress had convened
and the senate had elected presiding

States provides that in case Of removal
Of The president from Office by death,

powers and duties of said Office, the
same shall devolve on the vice president
and Ii case of the removal of both the
president and vice president, congress
is aath0rized TO declare by law what

such officer shall act accordingly until
the disability be removed, or president
shall be elected The law provides that

no person authorized to act as president

before the assembling of congress. In
such an event the president Of the SEN

AFTER Many Years.

M8QlScu1Ans
The hero of the following romantic
episode, which we find reported in the
Butte Miner OF the 18th inst, was for
lnerly well known in Alder gulch, he
having been resident of Junction for
several years in the early times. He is
brother of the Tuttle boys, who reside
at Fish creek, in this county The bride
is the relict of the late John Dame, for
merly of Willow creek, this county.
Says the Miner: "Last evening, at the
residence of DIR. Clarke, there was cele-
brated rather romantic wedding, the
contracting parties being Harvey w.
Tuttle of Wood river. Idaho, and Mrs.
Mary L. Dame. of Butte. Quite pleas
ant feature of the affair was the arrival
of three of Mr.. TuttIe's brothers in Butte
just in time to witness the wedding,
who, prior to their coming here, were
unaware of his presence in the territory.
Mrs. Dame has been resident of Mon
tana for about twenty-five years, and has
host of friends here. The parties to
/ the union had met in Montana upwards
of twenty years ago, both then being
married, and some sixteen years since
Mr. Tuttle, with his wife, left for points
further west, and until yesterday he and
Mrs. Dame had not met. The groom
wandered off to Elko, Nevada, where he
was engaged i'll business for several
years, being in turn a popular caterer to
the hign livers in that section; then
managing dairy business, and then
turning granger. From there he drifted
north into Idaho, where he has added
to his stock of worldly goods, now own
ing handsome ranch and saw mill in
that territory. Mrs. Dame and her hus-
band remained in this section, and about
three years ago the latter died in Butte,
since which time the lady has had few
private boarders. In the meantime, Mr..
Tuttle's matrimonial bonds had also
been severed, and hearing of the widow
hood of Mrs. Dame, correspondence
was opened between them, resulting in
the ceremony of last night, Mr.. Tuttle
arrived here yesterday, and for the first
time in sixteen long years paced the
streets of Butte and met his lady love.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tuttle will spend the win
ter in Butte, and then return 10 their
home in Idaho. Many warm and hearty
congratulations were showered upon
the happy pair, and all who know them
wish thema long and prosperous welded

The track of the extension of the
Utah & Northern to Helena has been of
such long duration that the people of
Helena had concluded that the project
had been abandoned. 1t now appears
that the menacing attitude of the North
ern Pacific has awakened the company
to the necessity of protecting its inter-
ests and being prepared for any competi-
ton. Some three or four years ago a
route was surveyed from Dillon to Hell
ena and considerable grading done on
the line, but for some reason the work
was abandoned and not resumed until a
few days ago. At the time of the original
operations there was considerable work
done in the Jefferson canyon, but in that
section there yet remains much to be
accomplished. When short while ago
if was determined to resume operations
il was also determined to push tha work
as much as possible with the expectation
of completing it by next spring. With
this end in view the company now have
at work in the Jefferson canyon a
force of 800 teams and 500 men, and
they will be worked as long as possible.
1t has also been determined to change
the route from Dillon to Darling in order
to avoid the heavy pull and snow over
the Apex Hill The new road will
follow the course of the Beaverhead on
its south tide to the intersection of the
Big Hole, then following the Big Horn
cany. up to Darling. The Helena
branch will follow the Beaverhead from
its junction with the Big Hole to the
Jefferson and thence to Helena"
Gen. Beam, an old railroad contractor
from Mississippi is to have the contract

The death Of Mr.. Hendricks removes
Mrs. Hendricks from her prominent place
in Washington society. Mr.. Hendricks
was himself very found Of society, and
his wife was ambitious to enjoy all the
social honors incident TO her husbands
position. Last spring society was busy
for several weeks gOssipping over the
question whether Miss. Bayard should
take precedence of Mrs. Hendricks on
state occasions as she actully did at one
reception when Mrs. Bayard was Ill and
could not be present. This affair was
said to have made Mrs. Hendricks very
angry, and she had determined to enjoy
what was her own in social honors next
winter. The outlook is now that the
immediate assistant Of Miss Cleveland
in society affairs will be the ladies OF the
Bayard family, the cabinet ladies and
Mrs. Carlisle. Mrs Edmnnds has sell

of her daughter. If Mr.. Edlnunds if

SANITARY value ol Ihese IiOuSenOlu
AdOrnments.
1t was onl y few years ago that
plants and flowers were considered very
injurious to health, when cultivated in
our living rooms, particularly at the
winter season, when windows and
doors are kept closed.
To such an extent did this absurd
idea prevail, that many a flower lover
banished them from their windows alto
gether; and the sick ''shut i'm ones
were not allowed one green twig or
bright blossom to tide them over the
dreariness of winter, because, it was
said, they Slapped their life blood. That
propOrtionately, as the plants grew and
tlourished, the sick ones dropped and
faded. These foolish ideas were. not
promulgated by an ignorant class of
people, but by those deemed most wise
in their day and generation; hence
their words were accepted as words of
wisdom and needed accordingly.
Those old chimeras of the brain have
given place to more rational view of
the uses and value of plants when grown
in living rooms, for they are now cult
waited more extensively than ever. 1t
seems to me libel on the wisdom of
the Creator, to think that He has decked
this earth with beauty and fragrance,
given us the senses to enjoy them, and
then so constructed the flowers that they
shall prove curse, instead of bless
ing. But let me quote a little from q
magazine of note that lies open before
me:
Recent Investigations have proved
that plants in rooms have great sanitary
value. DR.. Andrews, from tests made
at Christ Hospital Philadelphia, has
shown that plants in sleeping or sick
rooms perform two functions, namely,
that of generation of ozone and exhala-
ton of vapor. by which the atmosphere
of the room is kept in healthful condi-
ton of humidity. 1t is stated that in
two rooms, alike in all respects save
that one contained some flowers and the
other none, the one containing the flow
ers was cooler by one and one-half de-
grees than the other. The ozone thus
generated by budding and blossoming

value, in that it purifies the air, Kidding
it of disease breeding germs and of
vapors of decomposition.
at has also been recently stated that
Prof. Mantogazza, of Pavia. Italy, has
discovered that ozone is generated in
immense quantities by all plants and
flowers possessing green leaves and aro-
matte odors. Hyacinths, mignonette,
heliotrope and the like all throw off
ozone largely on exposure to the suns
rays. So powerful is this great atmo-
spheric purifier that it is the belief of
chemists that whole districts can be re-
deemed from the deadly malaria which
infests them by simply covering them
with aromatic northumberland

Taxpayers in London have begun to
complain of the cost OF public educa-
ton, and controversy has arisen as to
the best means of securing a reduction
OF the charges. 1t is shown that teach
ers were paid last year nearly twice as
much per child as ten years ago, and
many believe this expenditure excessive.
The cost is much less in the provincial
cities, and it has not been shown in
justification of the difference that a
higher standard obtains in London. 81.
