FOUL ISLANDER.
A Helena Paper Tells . Horrid StOrl
About Butte Ladies.

Butte girls will have the call on theil
small footed Helena sisters on Christmaf
day. Their feet are so large that their stock
ings will hold so much more, and they
think thereby to create envy on this side o.
the range.
The above ungallapt and terrible Islander
is from the Helena Independent. The
Reporterdoes not pretend to know anything
about females feet or anything that is
theirs, bnt it seemed so strange to The
MINER Office that a reputable journal
should make such q statement, that the
chief of the office called the reporter, and
ordered that the matter be investigated.
This was the most difficult undertaking oil
the item gatherer's life, bling totally unac.
quainted with such Investigations, as he
had never seen the human extremity in
question in all his life; and besides he was
painfully conscious that if he had to inter.
rogate the lovely ladies as to the size OF
their feet or shoes, that he would
blush himself to death. How
ever, in obedience to orders, he
sailed forth'and hit upon the plan of ques-
tioning tho nice. pretty, perfumed clerks
who part their hair in the middle and
affect effeminacy, From these sources he
learned that only n merchant In this city
ever purchased, for sale. a pair of ladies'
shoes larger than Nos. X and 2. The mer-
chant who did SO went into BANKRUPTCY and
then suicided. More than that, nine

No. ia sure sign of gentle birth-and in
three cases out of five these are SO loose
that false bottoms are needed.
TIT Independent is in error again, for

streets wearing their native beauty un-
adorned which is adorned the most"

A Fire. Vomiting Geyser.

The greatest discovery of the age was
made in the Bad Lands Wednesday morn
ing. Two hunters who have been camped
in that region for several weeks were
awakened by a terrific shock and a roar
that sounded like the rushing OF a mighty
torrent. Running out of their camps, they
saw a stream OF fire over 100 feet in height
shooting into the atmosphere. This i'm.
mense blaze poured through the crust of
e nth Tor over an hour, when it ceased, In
about i've minutes after the cessation, an
other eruption took place, the flame being
about thirty feet high, but this was followed
in about ten minutes by another blaz e
nearly as high as the first. 1t is the great
eat and most interesting discovery made in
the northwest for many years, and
is the first geyser of fire, as it has
been christened, to make its appearance
in the land of endless wonders. 1t ia
accounted for by the fact that there are
numerous beds of coal constantly burning
IN the Bad Lands. and this is the result OF
the bursting forth of the united gases. All
who have passed through the Bad Lands
by way OF the Northern Pacific have been
interested in the burning veins of coal,
which rams, SHOWS and years have failed
TO extlnguieh. The phenomenon which
made it's appearance yesterday is said to
he located about ten miles south of the
Northern Pacific road, and if it does not
die out, will be the greatest attraction on
the American continent. When last heard
from the flames were being emitted about
every fifteen minutes, and varied in height
from ten to forty feet. The aperture in
the ground is small. and the noise that
accompanies the eruptions is like thercar-
ing OF a cataract.-Bismarck Tribune.

LAID DOWN HIS D
John Kelly, the Great Violinist, Plays
His Last Tune and Crosses Over
LiCe9N River.

All the old-timers on the Pacific Coast
and in the adjoining Territories will learn
with regret oil the death of John Kelly. the
noted violinist. Mr.. Kelly made friends
wherever he went, and the early settlers OF
! Butte will remember the exquisite music he
rave on several occasions. The Advocate
thus feelingly speaks OF him from data fur
nished by his good wife, who says: MANY
years ago he appeared before large and ap-
preciative audiences. and intended per.
forming here later, but sickness pre-
vented. He was born July 5. 1912, being
in his 18th year when he died on the Sd in
| slant in Victoria, Texas.
Two weeks ago the Ad, ocate% announced
The arrival in this city Of Mr.. John Kelley,
| the famous violinist, accompanied by his
| wife. They visited Victoria for the purpose
Of giving a concert. but owing to Mr..
! Kelley's illness, dated back some months,
he was unable to appear. Since then his
condition became more serious until on
| Thursday evening last it ices me apparent
| that his death WAS near at hand. Grad
ual]y the silver cord was loosened, and at
5 a.. m. yesterday morning he passed quietly
away. The career of the dead musician
has been a long and varied one. A native
of Ireland, he ca me to America over fifty
/ wears ago, and at once became prominent
as a violinist. In 1874 he accompanied
the cele5r ated Ole Bull on his first Ameri-
lean tour, and appeared with that distin-
guished artist in all the principal cities Of
IL Ty-:A-l C%o<oe IL o~,orD <ho
early emigrants to California, and for
many years spent the greater part OF bis
time in that State. His mastery skill on
the violin, together with his genial
disposition, soon won for him a
host of friends among the people
of the Pacific Coast and there are
many aged California pioneers still alive
who during the early settlement Of that
now giant commonwealth fOund in the
magic of his wizard bow a solace for the
longing for distant homes and abeentloved
ones. With the enthusiasm and generosity
of his Celtic ori1in no man was 80 humble
as to fail to enlist3h his sympathy, and the
gains of his professional career, ALWAYS
large, were scattered with a lavish hand in
aid of the poor and unfortunate. But
death cometh to all soon or late, and the
generous-hearted Kelly, after a long life,
passes to the great beyond, incurred by d
legion OF friends. The sad announcement
will cause pangs of sincere regret wherever
he was known. and in distant climes the
memory of his wonderous genius will long
remain as a monument more end during than
marble. Green be the sward above him
and soft the winds that mulmur around
his last resting place.
Besides his sorrowing wife, Mr.. Kelly
leaves three children by d former marriage,
two of whom are residents of California.
The third, the eldest boy, has long been a
wanderer, his present whereabouts not be-
ing known. The funeral took place this
morning, from st. Mary's Catholic Church.

THE REPORTERS xAASGREETING,

The reporter OF The MINER to-day give.
warm greeting to every man, woman and
child who reads this paper. All over the
Christian world there will be rejoicing and
praise to-day. In the great cities, with
their pomp Of wealth and power and Their

ers and the villas OF the country; in the
sc~hoolhouses, in the churches and under
the shade trees OF the sunny southern
climes; on the hillsides OF happy France;
among the perfumed groves of musical
Italy and the sepulchral Surroundings of the
countries near the poles; riding on the
brseses that kiss the gorgeous beauties Of
the tropics, and mingling with the billow-
songs OF the seas-everywhers Jesus is
loved and worshipped, there the Christ
mas Day" is kept and honored.
1t is a beautiful custom, this keeping holy
the natal day OF the worlds Redeemer, aud
it carries with it something more than fes-
tivity, sport and pleasant associations
1t is the symbol of love, of forgiveness, OF
peace and OF hope to men. 1t is the day
for old things and sinful doings to be put
away and forgotten. 1t is typical of a
new lie, q new era and a new state. As
the flags wave, the music fills the air, the
church chimes break the mornings stiffness
and songs ascend to heaven, let us forgive
those who have wronged US, love those
whom we have hated, and, in sympathy
with Him who gave His life Tor men, let |
US give OF our good things to our neighbors.
Let it not be forgotten that while plenty
and pleasure may be in many homes, many
other homes are cheerless-many other
cupboards empty. Nor let us not forget the
poor, who have little to bless or cheer their
fresides and let us season, by charity to
them, the multitude of blessings showered
upon those OF us who are more gifted in
this worlds way.
Peace be with the MINERS readers and
peace be With all men else. And il the
MINER knows it's heart, it hopes for all,
regardless OF calling, nationality or sect, a
merry. happy season OF holiday, and a
blessed and prosperous future.
May disappointment never cast |
Upon any heart its gloom;
But may each promise-bud OF hope
In beauty ever bloom.
May passing years, as on they roll, i
Bring increase to each Joy
Till all shall taste, beyond this life,
That bliss without alloy. |,
And when life's pilgrimage is DER,
Lies sands ars wasting fast
May ali look back, without regret, !
lyon a peaceful past.

ON THE TRAIL.
The Domestic Detective Force of the
City "Getting Their Work In.o

City Getting Their Work In"
THE MINER yesterday told OF the robbery
atMrs. Mobiles, whereby she and a young
lady lost numerous articles of clothing.
The reporter learned afterwards hat dur
ing the night of Wednesday the thief, or
thieves, restored numerous articles OF
clothing by leaving them in a bundle near
the fence, where they were found in the
forenoon. The reader will recollect the
suggestion The MINER made that the dog
being left by Mrs. Mobiles outside, and on her
return found locked inside the house,
would probably serve rs q clue. 1t
has turned out to be SO. From
the little bird that tells newspaper
men q story sometimes, The MINER
learns that the officers are about to flush
the game. When it occurs the Butte City
people will be surprised to know what a
nest OF sneak thieves are in their midst, as
well organized as an army with banners.
For the present it need only be said that so
hot vas the pursuit that the thieves
thought it best to get the bulk OF the
stolen goods out of their hands and
adopted the method of returning them
rather than risk detection by the scent if
they burned them. Jolly is not asleep nor
are the police force OF Butte.

Al Opera Singer and a Bull Killer.

Madrid has just feted two of her most
popular citizens. One is a. opera singer
and the other is a bull killer. Sixteen
years ago Gayarre used to get four francs
a night for singing at p well known little
music hall in the capital. Now he has lust
signed an engagement to sing fifty nights at
the Opera. for which he is to receive 35O.-
900 francs. But one is accustomed to the
ups and downs OF operate life. The great
bull-fghter's experiences are more interest.
ing. To the lasting sorrow of the Madrid
public the great Don Lnis Mazzantini is on
his way to Havana. A banquet was given
to him the night before he started. Two
hundred guests assisted, and the toasts,
the uproarious cheers and the pathetic
adieux made the scene almost without par
allel. The great man-whO a couple of
years ago was a small stationmaster with
a salary OF "a 1Os a months consoled in
his grief at leaving the scene of his triumphs.
He takes with him in ready money 80, 900
francs, a payment ON account by his i'm.
p%ressario OF the $50 900 francs which he
is to receive when he has carried out his
share OF the contract. He is to cross the
ocean to take part in eight bull fights and
to kill a minimum OF sixty-four animals.
To add to the charm OF the performances
and to guard against all possibility OF mis-
carriage, Don Luis takes his victims with
him. Sixty-four bulls were put on board
the steamer at Cadiz amid the cheers of an
excited populace.

Across the Atlantic in Four DAYS,

In regard to the ocean steamers of the fu-
ture, it is confidently anticipated that
though they can not be made much more
comfortable than at present, they may be
made two or three miles an hour faster: and
Mr.: Pearce, member of parliament, who is
chairman Of the Guion line, has declared
that the day is not far distant when the At
lantic will be crossed in four days without
in any way sacrificing safety to speed. Fur
Their improvements, like the triple expan-
sion engines and forced draught will allow
of q heavier application of fuel and in
creased horse power, and with every YES
sci its own lifeboat," through effective
water-tight compartments and powerful
pumps, such as those carried in the Hawar-
den Castle, equal to throwing out 40 or 50
tons OF water per minute, ocean travelling
will be rendered more speedy and less dan
gerous than it is at present, when, if the
full traffic is considered, a mans life is
much safer on a ~wellappointed steamer
than in a railway train--Thomas Dyk,s

A New Railroad Office.

A MINER reporter in conversation with
an experienced rdilroad official yesterday
learned from him upon the authority OF
the st. Louis Globe Democrats pretty
good authority on railroad news-that
Lucius futile had been appointed General
Passenger Traffic Manager for the entire
Union Pacific system. This may be true,
bnt who Mr.. Lucius Tuttle is and what
the duties OF a General Passenger Traffic
Manager are make the conundrum that
nobody hereabouts seems able to solve. It
is a new title to old railroaders hereabouts
though probably it is q sort of general.
