to the same for them. The e.
pecial importance of the system, how
ever, is to their regular subscribers, who
for monthly fee of one dollar, have a
telegraph box placed in their house or
office and by simple system of calls can
procure the immediate attendance of a
messenger, Police, Fire Department, or
their family physician, at any time of
day or night, the three latter calls being
of the greatest benefit and convenience,
and are answered by the Company free
of charge, while for messenger service
the regular charge before stated is made.
Each subscriber leaves at the central
office the name Of his family physician,
which is entered into record kept for
that purpose, and the manager at the
central office, upon hearing subscribe
er's call, knows instantly what is re-
quired, and messenger is at once dis
patched to perform the required duty.
The system of marks is as follows:
One mark calls for messenger.
Two marks call for Police.
Three marks call for Fire Department
Four marks call for family physician,
the last being special call.
The system Of calls and operation Of
the subscribers boxes is SO simple, yet
certain in it's working, that mistakes
can only arise through the grossest care
lessness. In cases Of sickness or acct
dent, the efficiency Of the system is most
clearly illustrated. The present force of
messengers employed consists of four,
whose number will be increased as the
business of the office demands. The
officers Of the Company are: 5..a..
c. F. Amett, President.
W. NJ. Cairns, V. P. and General
Manager.
John E. TAFT, Local Manager.
The office is with the Western Union
Telegraph Company, over the Butte
Hardware Company's store, on the cast
side Of Main street, between Park and
Broadway.

The District Telegraph.

i. The latest institution of public con-
venience and service introduced in this
city was the District Telegraph system,
established by the American District
Telegraph Company. This company was
Incorporated under the laws Of Montana
with acapital Of $4,000 in September
last and Immediately began operations
in this Territory, by the establishment
OF the system in Butte, which toithe pres
ent time is the only city having the
same. The company contemplate the
extension of the system ut an early. day
to Helena, Anaconda and other promi-
nent places. The system of District Tel
egraph is one of the utmost Importance
and convenience, and the company have
met with substantial success when the
short time of its existence and the unfa-
miliarity of people with its uses and pur-
poses are taken into consideration. The
company have seventy-tive regular sub
scribers at present and the number is
increasing rapidly. The object and pur-
pose of the company is, that for the COM
pensation hereafter mentioned, they
will speedily and faithfully deliver all
messages that may be entrusted to
them in any part of the city at any
time, also, to serve the imme-
diate calls of their subscribers who
may want police, fire depart
ment, or their family physician.
The company employ force of active
and trustworthy young men as messen-
gers and become responsible for their
faithfulness and honesty in serving pat
rons; the charge or the delivery offor-
binary messages is the same to subscrib-
ers as to the general public. Anyone
wishing messenger, can telephone or in
any other manner notify the central Of
flee and one will be Immediately sent to
the place designated to do whatever err
rand may be desired; these messengers
are thoroughly acquainted with the city
and people and are neatly uniformed
and wear the badge of the company SER
vice. The charge for messenger service
is at the rate of forty cents per hour for
the time actually engaged in performing
the patrons errand, no charge, how
ever, being less than ten cents. The
convenience of this reliable system will
be readily appreciated by those who are
unacquainted with the city, and those
who, for lack of time, cannot personally
attend to any little errand they may
wish done or message they desire deliv-
cred, who for trifling charge can pro-
cure q trustworthy person to attend

BY order of the Postofiice department
the entire mail passing through the post
offices ofthe country are weighed forone
month each year, and the result forms
the basis of calculation of mail handled
for the year. The month Of July last was
designated for the weighing of mail at
the postoftice in this city. All mail was
carfully weighed during that period there
passed through the office mail Of all de-
scriptions to the weight Of 1880 pounds.
Calculating upon that basis the amount
Of mail passing through the Butte post
office annually would aggregate the
enormous weight Of 90, 40 lbs or about
Ito tons. Careful approximation Of the
number of pieces Of mail passing through
the office daily shows the following re-

MASS MISSIONARY MEETING.

Sermon by Rev. w. X. AsbiN, Returned
Missionary from Jamaica.
Last evening the Christian Women's Board of
Missions held mass missionary meeting at the
Central Christian Church, the other churches of
that denomination in the city assisting in the
service Among those present were Rev. W. K.
Azbill, returned missionary from Jamaica, who
made the address of the evening; Mrs Pearre,
of Lexington, KY. the founder of the Christian
branch Of the Christian Woman's Board of Mis-
sions and Mrs. j. NJ Atkinson, of Wabash, who
has been for number of years prominently
identified with the missionary work.
The evening lesson was read by Mrs. Pearre
and PRAYER offered by Rev. Van Buskirk. Rev
Azbill announced as his text the first chapter of
Romans, fourteenth verse, II am debtor both to
the Greeks and to the barbarians; both to the
wise and to the unwise." Taking up the life and
works of the apostle Paul. the speak
er referred to the passionate manner
in which he always speaks of preach
ing the gospel He regarded 1t essential
to bis own salvation to be as enthusiastic as he
was. "Woe is me If preach not the gospel"
was the injunction which urged him on in his
work This feeling which drove him over land
and sea was no personal feeling. No act of
cowardice appeared IN his history. Great cities
and great nations prosecuted him. Five times
was he scourge1 with thirty nine lashes He
sends missionaries into all the world to preach
the gospel. He possessed the most perfect
Christian love of any OF the apostles except
John, and worked ,ron hroa1 .sr Unrlstiau lines
His call was peculiar one. A Jew, be was sen:
to preach to the gentiles, and was willing to
give up his life in order to fulfill his mission.
Paul and John have the best conceptions of the
divine love. John muses. over the divine affec-
ton. Paul, like a sculptor, has set before us the
idea OF that love This kind of love is essentially
and re-eminently Christian. After the apostles
had learned of this love of Tod they were willing
and anxious to go beyond the bounds of their
own country and give to those who had not re-
ceived.
q. The speaker made the story of Paul's life one
incumbent upon the Christian of to-day, and
closed by urging greater interest on the part
OF the church in the cause Of missionary work.
Mrs. Atkinson, of Wabash, made short and
forcible address, in which she attacked the
many objections against women entering the
missionary work, and calling upon the church
for zeal in this direction.

Senator Harrison's Action.

Ierre Haute ArEo (Dem.)
Senator Harrison has made hundreds of Dem
ocratic friends in the State by his manly action
In defeating the confirmation of Lamb and Han
lon. When these two appointments were made
by Voorhees,, the Democrats who are believers
in the maintenance of good public service were
much depressed Their only hope was in enlist
ing the help Of Republican Senator to aid
them. In Senator Harrison they found cour-
ageous. manly man, who has done bis duty
and done it manfully. The gang may howl, but
the fact remains that the protests and charges
affecting the fitness of Lamb and Hanlon were
prepared and filed by Democrats We like to
see man who believes that duty is paramount
to politics, and Senator Harrison has proven
himself such a man.
