Hell'@ Half Acre splitting lsesl.hot Rocks

Tourists from, the Yellowstone Park re-.
port that on the day Of the Charleston
! earthquake, iIell's Half Acre cut some
queer capers. ]. $. Hunt, describes the
affair to a Helena reporter as follows: The
eruption was so great on the End that grea,
rocks were thrown out Of the crater,
heated to- red heat, which were thrown
out as often as they fell back, until they
dissolved and disappeared in the great dis
placement that took three acres Of his Sa.
tanic maiestv's supposed presumption.
The Excelsior cavern, which SO many OF
Helena's visitors have looked into with
fear and trembling, is now aglow with fer
vent heat, and its rocky sides red abyss
Of glowing rocks. The heated steam from
this celebrated wonder is even now SO
great that sight seers are driven away from
the hellsh cauldron on all sides Tor hund.
reds of feet, except on the windward.
Where the three acres were three weeks
ago, on which hundreds Of people in car
riages and stages congregated to look
down this then ,nurnuring crater, there is
but an immense cave that would have
swampcd the whole population Of Helena,
had they been standing there as lookers.on
at the time Of the great eruption.

the same being of great Importance to the
Exposition and the city of Minneapolis.
A scheme for having the advertising of
the next Exposition carried on in common
with that of the state fair was not favor
ably received. The matter of dates for the
next Exposition coming up, A. j. Blethen
favored somewhat later date than the
opening of the last Exposition. He would
prefer to open on the first of September,
and would keep it open two months at
least. The autumn months in Minnesota
make the most beautiful season found any,
where in America. and the agricultural
work is not finished before the first of Octo-
Der. and the farmers cannot attend until
their fall work is DONE He moved that the
dates for the next Industrial Exposition
be fixed as from Wednesday, Aug. 81, to
Saturday, Oct. 81. Mai Heffefinger
agreed to the time of opening. but thought
tie time mentioned was too long and moved
as all amendment that the time be fixed at
six weeks. closing Oct. 10. 5. C. Gale said
there was danger of running against cold
weather by carrying the time too late in the
season. and the cost OF piping the building
for steam heat would be heavy. Joseph
Dean thought the last exhibit was plenty
long enough. General Manager Palmer
thought forty days an excellent time to run.
and he would have the opening fixed on
Aug. %. D. NJ. Gilmore thought six weeks
long enough. Maj. Hetfelfnger Withdrew
his amendment and would make the time
five weeks. A. J. Blethen moved that the
whole matter be postponed one week. and
that notice be given to all directors that the
question will be settled at that time. This
prevailed and the board went into executive

The partridge season opened in August,
but the coveys were so thin and the young
birds so backward that there was little
shooting till September. Hares have turned
out better than was expected though moth
ing like their usual size. A bad game sea-
son implies something more than poor sport
and high prices at the game market.
Game is an important source of revenue
for all land owners. The average number
of red deer shot annually in Austria is
G. 600: roe deer, $1,000; chamois. 1850;
wild boar. 2.400; bear. 20; capercailzie,
8, 200; pheasants, rs, 600; hare, 900, 600;
rabbits, only $4,000; foxes (shot OF
poisoned), %, 200; quail, So 900; woodcock
comparatively scarce), 5000; snipe, 49,
600; wild goose, 1000; wild duck. 40. 000.
The average value of the game shot in Aus
tria per- annum is about 1000, 900 tlorins.
This does not include Hungary, where game
is also abundant, but not as well preserved
as in Austria.
All the different water fowl of Central
Europe are plentiful on some of the Hun
garian lakes. There are, however. few
amateurs of that kind of sport, the lakes
being generally situated in country that is
not easy of access, and where there is Tic
accommodation. There is a splendid field
in Hungary for Englishmen in search OF
unfrequented sporting regions, provided
they do not mind rOughing it.

ton Opera company, ''was plan that was
detected by the merest chance in the Kel-
logg Hess Opera company, years ago, when
Mr.. Carleton was the baritone of that Or
ganization. A certain artist playing promi-
nent roles was suspected by certain men,
Der of the chorus with paying altogether
too much attention to the choirster's wife.
and the artist was duly warned by his
friends to keep close watch on the move
ments of the husband. One evening. as he
was passing across the stage to his dressing
room, he CHANGED to hear one of the ward
robe women say to another that there were
buttons off all the soldier uniforms.
Now, as the husband was to be one of
a file of soldiers whose duty it was to fire a
volley of shots at the artist as he made his
escape up rocky pass, the absence of the

she said her fathers mother had brought
from Europe when New York was hardly
more than a village. Her corset was
of pink satin, edged with lace, and covered
over with embroidery in white silk.
SO delicate that only a close inspection
revealed its artistic workmanship. Above

| lace, ending at the sides in little sleeveless
of lace, each decked with pink bow of
| silk. With childlike qualification she per-
ceived my surprise at and admiration OF
| these beauties, and this led her to invite me
| to examine her treasures in bureau drawers
and closets. Lace, silk, satin, rainsook
and delicate linen that felt almost like Cos

NO SETTLEMENT YET.
The Affairs of the Pray Manufacture
ing Company Not Improved,
Attachments Come in and a Few
Days More VIII Decide All.

There has been no change for the better
in the affairs Of the o. A. Pray Manufac-
turing company. and it is believed a crisis
will be reached within very few days.
General street talk yesterday connected the
Hush failure with the Pray troubles. but
there is. as far as can be learned, no definite
connection. The greatest effort has been
made by the largest creditors of the Pray
company To effect a settlement and con-
tinue the establishment. but there has been
no agreed basis and the settlement commit
tee has about concluded it can do
nothing. Rugg, Fuller & Co. have
taken out an attachment for $500
and others will undoubtedly follow their
example. which will interfere with, if it
does not entirely prevent a settlement.
Mr.. Pray had offered to settle Oh basis of
so per cent, which had been accepted by
all uf the heavy creditors and by most Of
the others, though enough held out to
render the plan abOrtive. 1t has all along
been the belief that If affairs could be tided
over for a few weeks, until orders on hand
were worked off and until outstanding ac-
counts matured, the company could pull it
self together. but the beginning of the at
tachments was the ending of this hope.
The liabilities of the company will eX-
coed $500, 900, with available assets consid-
erably below, but depending very much
upon circumstances. There has been con.
siderable product shipped but not yet real
lied upon, aud it is reported one wealthy
lumberman is holding back S12, 900 for an
engine which he claims did not reach the
guarantee on all points. The company has
been devot ting all the receipts to paying the
men it employed and keeping the wheels
going, and at the same time keeping up ap-
pearances, while committee of Minneapo-
lis business men and creditors were engaged
in negotiations by which they hoped to ar
rive at settlement. A few days will now
decide whether an arrangement can be
made to continue the company, or whether
it will go to the wall.
This is no news to the financial world or
to those interested. and has really been
street talk for quite period, but as rumor
was coloring the affair rather deeply, the
publication of the facts will do only good.
The Pray Manufacturing company has al
ways been regarded as one of the stable in
sttutions of Minneapolis and faith in it
was confirmed when o. P. Briggs, who was
in position to be posted. bought the stock of
A. l.. Miner. 0. A. Pray has been rated
as one of the wealthy men of the city and
his commercial and financial standing
above reproach. The company's affairs are
held to be the result of misfortune, and not
bad management, and the situation is the
more deplorable, as such a concern is
needed here.
