Yesterday was Palm Sunday and the
day was ~religiously observed by the Roman
Catholics of Butte. AT st. Patrick's
church Rev. Father Van de Ven C lebrated
the usual masses, high mass being at 1870
O'Clock. Prior to the celebration OF late
mass the blessing of the palms occurred
and the sacred emblemswere distributed,
thus inaugurating Holy Week, the last
week Of Lent. This is the most important
OF the sacriicial period to the good cathO-
lie, as If is incumbent upon him or her to
renew allegiance to the church in the shape
of partaking Of it's most holy sacrament.
On Thursday there will be the usual

when 1t Giveth Its Color in the Cup, for
in the End II Stingeth, Etc.

Pursuant to invitation the lady and gen.
tIemen members Of Butte Lodge OF Good
Tcmplars repaired in Il body to the Metho-
dist Church South, Idaho street, to listen
to the address on temperance by Kew. Mr..
Couey, tie pastor. There was a large at
tendance, and after the preliminary exer-
cises OF prayer and son had been con-
Quoted Mr.. Couey made his address, which
was replete with facts and tgures
and which was deservedly listened
to with marked attention. The gentle
man took a biblical text for his effort,
and at the Quiet defined what the words
temperance and iutemperance meant. and
suggested that while the source OF lnten-
perance had originated with dlstlllatlon IN
the dark ages, it was to all lntents ana
urposes a modern evil. He spoke OF the
effect liquor had in the production OF pau
pers and criminals and quoted from the
English Judges from Hale to Colerldge.
The financial aspect was reviewed as ap-
piled to the United States. and while 1t was
admitted that a large proportion OF the
revenue was derived iron the trace 1t
was asserted and shown by STATISTICS
that the revenue was more than
co~unterbalanced by the cost OF paupers
and prisoners whom the State was COM
PEELED to support because OF the liquor
habit. He declared that while public opin-
ion, if it dared assert itself, would be
against the traffic, it was not prepared to
meet the issue in a radical shape. He said
that the mistake of all temperance organl-
cations had been, that there was too much
zeal and too little knowledge, and he hit a
lick at the Women's Christian Temperance
Union for mixing up politics with the
cause, and thus destroying their
the ladies who were enlisted under
that banner he had the greatest
and confidence, but he conld not re-
frain from criticising them in attempting to
it a political issue. In speaking Of
the hopeful outlook for the cause he said
in twenty-one States there were local
option laws, in five legal prohibition and in
constitutional prohibition. The new
constitution OF the Knights of Labor was
to, and the clause relating to tenn
perance was quoted with the remark that
in all it's forms does not hurt
the ~workingman so much as does the
saloon" The influence of the liquor traffic
upon government was adverted to, n
statistics prepared by William Graham,
Of New York, were quoted show
ing that out of one thousand
political conventions and assemblages held
in New York last year 600 were held in or
above saloons. In conclusion, he argued
while the State should do all in its
power to control the evil, that the final
remedy laid in moral suasiOn. and he
begged his auditors to do all in their power
to preach the gospel of temperance and
secure converts to the cause.

der the caption as She Tilted" The friends
of those who ailege that they we're referred
to, nave started IA story that the item was
inspired by the society editress OF this
paper. and some OF them have even gone %
far as to assert that the edi-
torial management If the paper
have admitted such 70 be the
TACT. This is a lie out of whole cloth.
The article appeared in the city depart,
ment OF the paper, and the lady referred
to had no more to do with it thar did the
Prince Of Wales. The city edl-
tor acknowledged the authorship,
and there the matter should
have ended. When questioned he
told the truth, that he had written the
article, and tnat the lady whose name is
now being so freely banded about, so far
as he knew, had nothing to do with it. 1t
appears to be an unpleasant situation IN
several respects but THE MINER and its
city editor can for a day or two at least be
found at the old stand on West Broadway.

The Disciples of Isaac Walton Deter
mined to Protect Their Rights.

Butte is noted for the number and abil-
ity Of its fishermen, and as d matter OF fact,
they will c0mpar with any and all com
petitors. While they may not know quite
as much as did Isaac Walton about
angling, they are quite as enthusiastic as
was that Old gentleman in sport, and are
determined that they shall have good
streams in when to fish.
This simply means that the proposition
to dam up the Big Hole will meet with a
determined opposition on the part OF the
Butte fishermen. They hold that under the
law the proposed dam is without warrant,
and with the services OF Mr.. Dewitt, one OF
The champion anglers OF the Territory, they
will test the question before the courts. In
the abstract THE MINER has nothing to do
with the controversy, but in the concrete
as the staff always receives a fair proper
ton OF the fish caught, it cannot but hope
that the Big Hole will be left free and open
to the gentlemen and the tinny tribe which
it is their especial delight to snare.

THEY Z BURN
The Revenge of IL Husband Obtained
After Many Years.

Wilkesbarre (Pa.) dispatch: A strange
chapter in real life has just come to light
in this vicinity. The starting point from
which the facts have been unrolIed was the
suicide on December p last Of John
Cough, a man nearly sixty years old, at
Ashley, three miles from this city. He
himself in his bed, and though he was
known to have been Il heavy drinker OF
late years, the cause OF the suicide re-
manned a mystery, but the story of his life
made public to-day reveals the secret. His
wife, II year or two younger than he, WAS
stricken with paralysis on hearing OF her
husbands death, and has been helpless
ever since. Thirty years ago, in the quiet
little town of Durham, England, she, a
b~right-haired, handsome girl, was welded
to Martin Bowe, a young man OF good
family and prospects, and everything prom

How IL Money Shark ENtortions Drove
u Man to Suicide.

St. Louis (Mo.) special: 1t low trans
pires that the suicide Of Edwin r. Halllast
night on Ware avenue was caused by the
embarrassment of a money shark named
Julius GrUschke, at SO Chestnut street.
The story Of Halls dealings with GrOschke,
as learned from his friends, is to thise effect:
About a year ago Hall went to Groschke
and on a chattel mortgage borrowed $500,
FIX which he was charged d heavy rate OF
interest. He paid 5000 Of the whole sum,
and there was yet remaining 500 unpaid.
For the use OF this 500, $40 per month
was charged as interest, Sunday was the
dav on which Hall was to meet his note or

attendant on the foreclosure OF the mort

manner, Halls highly strung nervous Or

strain. and Yesterday he determined that
the 18th inst. would not see him alive.
To this end he went yesterday afternoon

one Of his customers on South
and after taking Il
heavy order, which was also
found on his person, he boughtthe revolver
with which he ended his life, and instructed
the clerk to load it for him. He seemed TO
be in Il pleasant frame of mind while at
Wachter's store, and his manners then
would never have indicated his desperate
intention. t'rom Wachter,s he went home
and then put himself out OF the reach OF the
ccnt-per-ccnts by killing him2r!f.

But the bright prospect did not last long.
John Cough, Il former sutton for Mrs.
Bowe's hand, did not retire from the field
after her marriage, and two years later all
Durham was scandalized by the e~lOpement
Of Mrs. BOwew with her former lover, taking
with her her little son. They fled to Amer
lea, battling pursuit, but fortune did not go
well with them, and after visiting several
parts of the country, Cough settled down
near Mahanoy City, Schuylkill County, and
went to work in the mines. In the mean
time BOwe, after his wife's deScrtlOn,
plunged into dissipation, and san rapidly

town, and after

How She Threw a Small For,,,

Liverpool Mercury: The Once, ho.
taken great care that all her daughters
shall have the finest pearl necklaces for
their shapely neCks. She has looked after
them in that respect from their very bal w.
hood. One OF her tirst purchases after tho
birth OF each has been two or three hearts
(Of which jewel the Queenis very fond): and
every year until their marriage she has
added a pearl or two to her stock until the
necklace she required vas ready. In this
quiet, economical way she has been ena hIed
to make up arope Of pearls for each of the
princesses, and those who have seen the
necklace at court will bear me out in saw
ing that the Queens daughters are, SO far
as pearls 60,
WE'LL WITH JEwELRY.
Thereby hangs Il tale, for which the CORE
spOndent can vOuch. Some years ago Her
Majesty bought from a welI-known London
pearl merchant three beautiful pearls, the
united cost OF which was not far short of
$500. -Four hundred and eighty pounds is
the exact sum mentioned. They pleased
royalty greatly and were paid for without
demur. A little while after the purchase
had been made the merchant was surprised
to receive a letter from a lady at court say
ing: THE Queen wants very much to know
whether pearls will burn.' The reply to
this somewhat startling scientific inquiry
was an assurance that if Her Majesty
wished to OXygenize pearls for her amuse-
ment she would find that
THEY WOULD BURN
in an ordinary fire. This reJoinder pro-
duced the secret. Tn Queen had placed
the pearls on her writing-desk ia a piece of
the tissue paper which jewellers use. As
she was writing one morning she used the
tissue paper to wipe her pen and threw it
the fire. The pearls, all unobserved,
went with it. The ashes Of the CRATE were
searched for them in vain. They had been
destroyed so utterly as to leave no trace.
The Queen with her own hand had cast
three splendid jewels, worth more than the
average income OF her middle-class sub
j5Cts, into the blaze. Pearls nave not since
been kept on the royal writing-table.
