TERRITORY OF MONTANA EXECUTIVE Or
FICE, HELENA, Mont, July ~, 1SS5.--To the
people of Montana: The death of Gen
Ulysses S. Grant has taken from the people
of the United States their most illustrious
citizen. His public career embraced the
most eventful period of our history since
the struggle for independence. His achieve
mepts as a soldier were adorned by a mag
nanimity in the hour of complete triumph
which causes victor and vanquished tC
mourn alike our irreparable loss, and the
discordant cries of sectional hate and par
ty passion, if, unhappily, such exist, are
hushed at his grave 1t is proper that we
should evidence our appreciation of his
great services to the country and our re
spect for his character
Therefore l request the citizens of the
territory to observe the day fixed for the
funeral of Gen. Ulysses s. Grant by
abstaining from their usual laborS and
amusements and by appropriate religious
services in their places of public worship

The various men of war will be sta
toned at different points in the North
river and fire salutes during the pro-
gress of the funeral procession. The
matter of the marines and sailors par
aiding as portion of the escort is not
yet settled. A dispatch was received
on behalf of President Cleveland ask
ing for position in the line. 1t is in
tended that the president and vice pres
ident, with the members of the cabinet,
and also ex-presidents and eX-vice
presidents and members of their cab
nets, will be invited by the Grant fami-
" to participate. Gen. Hancock has
notified the eX-presidents that Presi-
dent Cleveland desires their presence
at the services. Ex-presidents Arthur
and Hayes have been invited.
The leaden hue about Gen. Grant,
face is owing largely, the undertakers
say, to the unfavorable light and shad-
ows in the room in which the body lies.
When the caskct was opened it gave
forth TO the senses no evidence of other
than favorable conditions. Prepare
tions are beng used to remove the heavy
dark circles from beneath the ewes.
The remains have been examined within
twelve hours and the extren tiles and
limbs were found to be fully under the
control of the embalming preparations.
Undertaken Merritt believes the body
will be preserved in most excellent con
dition until long after the final leave
shall have been taken Of

day evening TO hear the Rev. DR.. Mitchell
deliver his famous lecture entitled awhat

condition OF streets, owing TO the recent
rains, was largely responsible for the
slim attendance, but those who had the
courage TO turn out were not In the least
disappointed. The lecture was up TO the
standard and in full keeping with the
well-known reputation OF the speaker.
Shortly after O'Clock Rev. Mr., Male
came forward and introduced DR.. Mitch
ell, who at once proceeded TO announce his
subject and before he had fairly com

indefinite pronoun "it'' in the title Of the
lecture referred to "llfe,n or, as the
learned doctor said, "the fortune or mis-.
fortune of existence" The necessity OF
making the best use OF all the qualities
we possess was strongly urged and many
gems of poetry and numerous anecdotes
were used 20 illustrate the strong argu
