WANTS A WIFE.
A Great Falls Man Wries to st. Paul fO
What He Should Get at Home.

The RIVER PRESS is in favor Of patron
izing home industries, even in the matter
of choosing a wife, 1t believes there are
healthier, more intelligent and more
beautiful young ladies in Montana than
in any other country on Goods green
earth" And it Furthermore believes that
any man who wants wife and cannot be
suited with a home production is a fit
candidate for the insane asylum at Warm
Springs, and should not be permitted to
run at large. OF course no reference is
made to young men who left girls behind
them and who, true to their troth, go af-
ter or send for them when they have pro
vided cage for their ''birdle" in this far
western country.
We are led to these remarks by seeing
letter in the st. Paul Globe, written by
one w. P. Manning, of Great Falls, who
wants wife. Mr.. Manning, it would ap-
pear, can see no charms in Montana Ia
dies, or who is so Objectionable that Mon
tana ladies can see no charms in HIM, and
so uses his pen in matter in which his
tongue alone should be employed. We
give the full text of his letter as we find
it in the Globe, Uerbatinl ct iterdtin1:
GREAT FALLS, M. T., Sept. 81, 1888.
MISS EVA GAY, st. Paul, Mimi
trust you will pardon my boldness for
this attempt to address you. Though the
subject on which I may write may seem
strange one to you, trust you will not
think me evil disposed when [ make my
object known. In the ST. Paul Globe of
10Th I see a piece entitled, Up in the
World by Eva Gay. The piece has in
terested me much, and as [ am great
sympathizer of the fair sex that have to
earn their livelihood by daily toll, [ take
this method of making my object known
to you. From the tone of your letter in
the Globe I am lead to believe that [ am
addressing lady in the fullest meaning
of the word, on within whom I can place
the most explicit confidence. AS [ am
considered to be on the batchelor list
have resolved to fly to you for relief in
way of introduction to some one Of the
pretty girls that adorn top stories of Min
neapolis buildings.
''possibly that you or they may think
strange that man would thus address
strangers in a strange land on a subject of
this kind.
being man that has seen much of
this country, as we'll as two foreign coun-
trys, l cannot even say I am much ac-
quainted in any of the western country,
although I have been in the west for the
past ten years. If you know of any young
lady that is desirous of corresponding
with a man of my inclinations. and is in
cllned the same way herself, that is mat
rimonially inclined, not under twenty or
over thirty years old, and you feel you
would not compromise yourself no way,
would you confer favor on stranger
like me in introducing me to the same?
''Am thirty-fve years old; am not in
possession of many of this worlds goods.
"Want the acquaintance Of one with an
unblemished character, etc., etc, that
would be willing to call home her home
in every sense Of the word. Trusting you
will excuse grammatical errors, ETC., will

ST. LOUIS, September 28.-A special to
the Post-Dispatch from Denver says: A
man answering the description of Tascott,
the Chicago burglar who murdered Mil
lionaire Smell, has just been arrested. The
reward for the arrest is $4,000.
The police this afternoon released Car
ter on the ground that the resemblance to
Tascott was not strong enough to hold
the prisoner. Carter at once resumed his
position of bar tender at the California
wine house. An hour after being released
Carter was re-arrested on warrant sworn
out by O. I'll. Vanvlierden, charging him
with being Tascott and fugitive from
justice. He was placed in the county Jail
to await further developments. The po-
lice say that while there is a slight resem-
blance to Tascott they are positive he is
not the man wanted.

Some Figures TO Think OF


When the free-trader feels sad over the al
legged decadence of our ocean carrying trade, he
may solace himself By study of the figures Of
railroad transportation Some curious results
can be obtained. For instance. in 1856 the
American railroads hauled 80, 500. 07O, 529 tons
of freight one mile, or, to put it in another
form, IA 90, 356 tons were hauled 1900. 900
miles. To move this enormous amount of
freight would require fleet of ocean steamers
about eleven times great that sailing
and from the port of New York. Assuming
that during 1886 a European steamer sailed
from and arrived every day at New York city,
their total freight, at an outside calculation,
would probably not exceed ], 200. 900 tons. The
passenger traffic was equally immense. 9.659.-
69S 294 being hauled one mile. or. reduced 10
trips of about the same length as the steamers
between New York and Liverpool made, TO
3,219. 1872 gassengers who travelled 5000 miles.
This is ab6E-s five times many the ocean
steamers carry in their most prosperous years,
at cut-throat rates. which hardly leave
minimum of profit for the service performed
After rejecting while these facts, and upon
the additional fact that merchant marines
effectiveness is about II. 900, 900 tens greater
than at the beginning of the war. the reader will
be likely to conclude that we have not aban-
doned the carrying business even il our flag
does not float over every ship that sails the
ocean blue.
