HEALTH OF BUTTE.
Report of the Health Officer to the Mayor
Upon the Subject.

Statements have recently been made
as to the health of Butte City, which were,
if true, calculated very properly to keep
people away, and, if untrue, to do great
injustice to the people here, inasmuch as
these statements were to a greater or less
extent believed. The Mayor. very COM
mendably, directed the health officer OF the
city to examine thoroughly into the mat
ter and officially report to him. The MINER
appends hereto the report OF that official:
BUTTE CITY, NJ. T., Dec. IS. 1886.
Hon. H.. L. Frank, Mayor of Butte City.-DEAR
SIR:
In reply to your inquiry concerning the
health of this city, l am pleased to inform
YOU that, SO far as l can learn, there has
never been in the winter months so little
sickness as at present. / have never known
a case of disease OF any character that
could be attributed to the smoke which 80
frequently envelopes our city.
Very respectfully
c. P. HoUGH, NJ. D.,
Health Officer.

DUBLIN, December 18.-At a demonstra-
ton held last night in Kilrush, County
Clare, in favor of "Plan of the Campaign"
jeremiah Jordan, Parnellite member for
the House OF Commons for West Clare and
Joseph Richard Cox, Parnellite member
for East Clare, both defed the government
to do it's worst by the arrest and coercion
against the plan. These gentlemen openly
charge that the "Plan OF the Campaign"
would be relentlessly forced against the
large Vandeleur estates in County Glare
upon which rents are due to-day.
1--WE will bring Vandeleur to bis senses
tomorrow" cried one OF the orators, by
collecting his rents." Kinney, membe OF
Parliament, also spoke and said Vance

During the past two days every bit OF rent
owing by the tenants OF the Fasberry
estates, Listol, County Kerry, minus tne
amount of reduction demanded by tenonte
and refused by landlords, has been col,
lected under the "PIan OF the Campaign"
and quietly placed with a trustee all I'M
known to the authorities.

Masquerading ~ q Woman.

A singular occurrence is reported from
County Galway, Ireland. At Ballinasloe
last week a retreat for the Confraternity Of
the Holy Family was being conducted by
two friars from Dublin. Monday and
Tuesday were specially set apart for
women, and the remaining days. for men.
On Monday night a very large congregation
assembled, among whom was noticed a
woman about 80 years OF age, whose dress
and style were not at all in keeping with
the newest fashions. She wore an ordinary
linsey dress and a cap not adapted for her
years. At the close she had succeeded in
getting to the porch door, when some one,
more acute han the rest, detected mans
trousers under the The culprit, see-
ing that he was detected, ran toward Tea
lane, followed by a crowd of people. The
'slady" turned out to be a stone-cutter
named Sinuott. He was arrested. The in
cident has caused indignation among the
Catholics.

FROM SOUTH BUTTE.
A Crisp and Cosby Letter From a

last Thursday evening. Among those pres

and Mrs. Bartels, Mr.. and Mrs. Noyes, Mr..
and Mrs. E. L. Newell. Mr.. and Mrs. s. w.
Davis, Mr.. and Mrs. Zimmerman, Mr.. and
Mrs. Dave Charles, Mrs. A. l.. Hazlett, Miss
Carrie Congdon and Mr.. LeClair. That
ever interesting game resulted in awarding
the first prizes to Mrs. Zimmerman and Mr..
LeClair. The BOBBY prizes were won by
Mrs. T. E. Bumney and Mr.. Davis. After
refreshments and music all departed, hav-
ing spent a delightful evening. The next

j. Carter Smith, of the Montana Produce
Co., will leave about Jan. LIST for a trip to
Chicago and other eastern cities.

OF Geo. F. Marsh, is a frequent visitor to
South Butte in the interests of his com
panies.

C. s. Smith, one of South Butte's popu-
lar young business men. will leave next
week for Clinton, New Jersey, and will be
absent about sixty days. In his absence
Carl Elvers, of the Northwestern Forward
ing Company, will TAKE charge Of his bust
ness.
Mr.. John Chapman will remov to Lar
gey's ranch, on the Jefferson, in the spring.
There he will take charge OF Mr.. Largey's
mares, numbering from 300 to 0 in the
band. His share will be one-fourth OF all
colts branded in 1887 and one-balf the in
crease for the following five years.
What the merchants of South Butte
want just now is a good snowfall. The firm
of Durand e. Wagner need it in their tim
Der camps, for there is just enough snow
to make bad wheeling and not enough for
shedding. Bennett Bros. have a fine stock
of sleighs OF all descriptions and a generous
snowfall would make a lively market for
them.
Business about the depot and yards is
unusually heavy. Extra freights are fire.
ouent and extra trains of empty cars are
being sent out. The steel rails for the
VAUDEVILLE extension OF the Montana
Union have arrived. They are now laying
steel rails in the yards here.
The ore traffic is getting so heavy that
the railroad company will require extra
help to handle it. They are now handling
fifty cars a day for the Anaconda, and as
soon as they can get ready Tor it will re-
ceive eighty cars per day. They have now
in use in the yards three Northern racine
Railroad engineers, and have ordered sixty
dump cars, to be used in transferring ore
to Anaconda.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON, December 1.-the custom
ary concurrent resolution Tor the holiday
recess has not yet been offered in either
branch of Congress, but the general expect
ancy is that when the two houses adjourn
next Wednesday it will be to reassemble
the first Tuesday in 1887. It is probable
that the Senate will pass an appropriation
bill making provisions for work at the gov
eminent printing Office before recess. and
the Senate is likely to transact little or no
business of Importance duriag this week.
Special orders for the week are the rail-
road attorney bill, joint resolution au-
thorizing the Secretary OF War to accept
certain lands near Chicago for military pur-
pose, bill FORGETTING the New Orleans, Baton
Rouge and Vicksburg railroad companies,
land grant and the Pacific railroad fund
inq bill. The consideration of the first de-
pends UPON the return Of MI. Evarts who
ia r OF expected until after recess and OF the
second upon the health of Logan who has
been confined to his house for some days
with an attack of rheumatism.
As several Senators have already lett
town and more are likely to 60 away on
Monday and Tuesday, it is not thought
probable that the remaining special orders
will be pressed for action, though n or
both nay be taken for debate. The same
conditions are likely to prevent the consid-
GRAFTON Of the Interstate Commerce bill,
hut Senator Cullom will try to secure for
it the position of unfinished business SO
that it may have precedence after recess.
In the House tomorrow, after the call OF
States for the introduction OF new meas
nres, committees will be called for motions
to suspend the rules, the call resting with
the Committee on Militia. On Tuesday
there will be q struggle for precedence
among the supporters OF tie bill esta 6'lsn-
ing the Department of Agriculture and La
Dor, the bill reo~rganizing the naval bureau,
and the Pacific Railroad funding Till.
Several prominent naval officers sta
toned in this city are openly opposed to
the plan OF Secretary Whitney for the a
mission Of a certain number of m~eritorious
naval apprentices to the Naval Academy.
One of the most o%utspoken OF the number
said to-day that a similar experiment had
already been tried twice before, and each
time resulted in breaking up the apprentice
svs.em. He said that the 1.ajOrity OF OH
GERS have been connected with training serv'
ices. as we'll as those now in the service,
who came in through the apprentice sys
tenn, were strongly opposed to the repet'
ton of what they characterized as "the
unfortunate experiment OF lS4O ant
1884" The same officer added: Ger
tainly the practical knowledge OF men VIII
have been intimately acquainted with thu
apprentice system for years ought to be re
oarded more valuable Than the sentimenta
views of those who have no intimate
knowledge of the subject"
