Prof. Heine Gives Grand Concert at the
Presbyterian Church. mm
The agreeable and successful concert
which Prof. Heine, Madame Heine and
Miss Evelyn Heine gave last evening at
the Presbyterian church began with d
duet, "Cheerfulness," in which Madame
Heine and her daughter were heard with
much pleasure. Madame Heine then
charmed the audience with an admirable
rendering on the piano of Memberships
great composition, "Grand Rondo, in B
Minor" Prof. Heine supplying the orch
estral parts from the harmonium. Pro-
lessor Heine then played on the violin
"Cavatina" by Raft and "Mazurka,"
composed by sshimself. He displayed
wonderful mastery Of the violin in these
and other pieces which he played with a
skill and delicacy of tone that elected
hearty applause. He introduced the
Chickens March, an amusing flight of
his own, which created much amusement.
He also played with success on com
mon tin whistle, showing what art can do
with even such rude instrument. "The
Cradle Song" which Professor Heine
played on the violin, was a pathetic
piece, composed in memory OF d lost
child. The strains were full. Of appro-
pirate expression and in sympathy with
the sadness, which pervades home after
such a bereavement.
After a "Rondo from Concerto in d" and
other violin pieces by the professor, Ma
dame Heine played On the piano, "The

News Sent Out by the Tribune
Col Broadwater, president of the Mon
tana Central, arrived last evening from
Helena on the regular train. Here he
met Chief Engineer Becker and together
with Engineer Whitcomb they left imme-
diately for point on the Sand Coulee
branch, where Frank Erwin was in wait
ing with q good team to take them to Belt
creek and over the prospective route of
the Great Falls s. Belt Mountains r. r,
The intention is to make general recog-
nizance and it is not improbable that the
party will return this evening.
A Tribune representative met Colonel
Broadwater at the depot last evening and
received from him Confirmation strong
as proofs of holy writ" THAT the Bet
mountains railroad would be built and
built right away. "We are going right
into the mining camps,n said he, Sand ex-
pect that this will be the most important
ore railroad in Montana. This fall we ex-
pect to build to APPOINT as near the principal
mining camps as we can go, but just
where that is can not say now,'
"You must have unlimited confidence
in the Belt mountains mines?" suggested
the reporter.
Il never have been wanting in conf
dence in them and the development that
will follow our present undertaking will
show that it is we'll founded You can
say, if you wish, to the mine owners of
Neibart, Barker and other camps that
they can go confidently to work now and
that every ton of good ore they put upon
the dump will soon have market value
will be as marketable as wheat, beef
steers, wethers or anything else"
About this time the "all aboard" signal
was heard and the train with the presi
dent and engineering party left for Sand

China makes known by an imperial
proclamation that she does not like the
hostility which the Australians show to
her emigrants. She says very candldly
that her army of 100000 men is not
ready for war nor is her navy powerful
enough to cope with that of Great Brit
ain. In three years, however, she will be
ready to take the field, and then let Eng
land look out. This proclamation was
evidently intended for home circulation
alone.

The statements of Col. Broadwater and
Mr.. Paris Gibson, which we print today,
will be read with general interest Great
Falls will be the focus-the center-of
the important enterprises which they out
line. These new undertakings include
the Belt Mountains railroad, the copper
works and the local water works. These
will, in turn, lead to the other industrial
works. This will be great year for
Montana and for Great Falls especially.

fENERAL SHERIDAN,

General Sheridan, like another great
soldier, will be mourned by friends and
foes. He is the second to die of the
three commanders whose names are asso-
ciated in mems minds with the overthrow
of the confederacy and the most brilliant
achievements of the war. Grant, Sher-
man and Sheridan had illustrious COM
panions in the field, but it fell to them tn
act in concert in the decisive movements
which crippled Lee despite his masterly
strategy and restored peace to country

been done with the statehood bill. The
senate has not taken action on the tariff

would prefer speedy adjournment.

Jay GOuid'S First Love.

At Plattsburg, n. Y, Jay Goulds
first love keeps a boarding place. She
is elderly and gray haired now and IS
not strikingly handsome, but in her day
she was blithesome and pretty. She was
the daughter of country storekccper.
Jay Gould, after leaving his fathers
farm, went to work in the store, and
promptly fell in love with the rosy
checked maiden. But the old man had
much higher views of his daughters
future than her marriage with a young
man in his own shop would realizc lie
not only gave young Gould to u1Gcr-
stand that marriage was out of the
question, but dispensed with his ser
vices as we'll, Jay took his rejection
phiIosophically enough and gave him
self up to the work of making fortune.
While he was growing rich and richer
and piling million on million, his old
love was vainly trying to battle with
misfortune. Her father, who had
plumed himself so proudly on the
ownership of his general store, "
failed; the husband whom she took
after Jay Gould had gone away brought
little to her; and so at the end she en-
deavors to exc out an income by open
inc her house to summer boarders. She
has a wondrous amount of philosophy in
her makeup and very little envy. She
is bright good natured and contented
with what fortune has brought-or
ought one to say left---her. Some o
Jay Gould's relatives spend few weeks
at her farmhouse every year, but Jay
himself never goes there. Il Chicago

Verifying Thermometers.

ANY one can verify his instrument at
the freezing point by immer5ing the
bulb and tube in melting snow or
broken ice up to the top Of the mercury
column. The mercury after a few
minutes exposure to the ice, should
stand at 80 degrees, or freezing. This
method is in use in the United States
signal service, where all thermometers
are verified four times a year with
great care. The errors for other points
of the scale may best be deter
mined by immersion in water with
reliable instrument. The water may be
gradually heated and the instruments
compared at various points as the tenn
perature increases. The water should
be constantly stirred and care should be
taken not to force the m2rcury to the
top of the tube, thus breaking the Their
mometer. \ commoa difficulty with
cheap instruments is that the tube IS
liable to slip Oh the scale, rendering the
readings erroneous. In selecting a Their
mometer the purchaser should see that
the tube is securely fastened in its place.

The Fountain Of Youth.

For the last six years---cvCr since The
foundation Of CAambcrlain-~tho Sioux
Indians have ondeavored to prevent the
whites from getting possession OF Amer
lean Island, which lies in the centre OF
,Ae Missouri river. Il Wa always sup
posed that their reason was of mag-
cenary character, "a that their object
was to cut the timber with which the
islani is covered, and turn it into the
bright, yellow gold which they row
covet so much.
But IA different reason has lately, and
by accident, been discovered. It has
always been supposed that when the
Spaniards failed to discover the tabled
fountain Of perpetual youth among the
everglades OF Florida, the romantic
dream ended there and men grew Old
and gray as OF yorc. Not so, however,
as this narrative will show. Ga the
upper end of this island, hidden by
dropping evergreens, and shaded by
stately cottonwoods, IS a spring. 1t
bursts forth clear and beautiful, and
with murmu7 as soft as a maiden $
prayer glides from It's island
home into the yellow,
gurgling waters of the Missouri.
The water retains the same emperature
winter and summer, and its volume re-
tains its uniformity throughout the year
1t contains, IN all probability, the dill
ferent carbonates, and that is the cause
of the youth-retaining qualities which
Indians attribute to it.
The secret was let out a few days ago
by an old hunter, who was familiar with
the Indians and the spring long before
this place existed in the fcrvid imagin-
alton of John II. King They have
| thrown sanctity around it. and foI
years have been in the habit OF drink
ing Of its life-giving principles and Of
immersiag the younger members of the
tribe in its mystical depths. They i'm
agine that its source lies amid the per
petual fires that radiate from the centre
of the earth, and that the fountain is
presided over by the father of the Indiar
race, who Is doomed throughout al
time to regulate the temperature of th'
spring for the benefit of those whc
dread to see the footprints of old TIM
mar their classic features. 80 st. Pau

Although Chinese and japanese dig

country there is enough that is nov~I in
the costumes and customs of the mem
bers of the Coreaune Embassy at Wash
ington to cXcit3 great attention at the
capital. Their walk is described as
'tstately glide" and the Miui-tor espc-
cially, although hardly up to the average
height, is credited with an unusually
dignitied gait, set off by "a serene
smile" A mass of skirts and furbel ows
of the richest silks is a leading feature
in their garments, rustling as they
walk; while their tall black hats of
horse-hair, set daintily on the crown of
the head, which is itself topped by the
coil of hair" were not removed, it is
said, during their preliminary interview
with Mr. Bayari. This head gear,
through which the air can circulate, is
hardly such as an American would fancy
for this time Of the year; but then
Americans without practice could hardly
balance tho hats at all. Their features,
are of the true Mongolian type, and the
visitors seem we'll pleased with their
novel surroundings, and with customs
which would doubtless appear more
singular had not Americans been for
years in favor with the King of Corea -

Remarkable Engineering Feat.

A remarkable engineering feat has
just been carried out in China in the
face of unusual physical obstacles. This
was the stretching of a steel cable of
seven strands across the Luan River by
Mr.. a. de Linde, Danish civil en-
gineer, aided only by unskilled
Chinese labor. The cable is strung
from two points 4G48 feet apart.
The height of one support is Az feet
above the present level Of the river and
the second support 737 feet above it.
The vertex over the water is IS feet.
