Sometime ago the Belfast Age advocated
the organization in Waldo county of move
ment to overthrow the prohibitiory constitu-
tional amendment and the prohibitory law
and substitute license law in its place. Ac-
cording to despatch to Boston paper this
call has resulted in the organization of such
movement. 1t is little curious that this
movement, if it.be one that sincerely'aims at
better restriction of the liquor traffic than
now exists, should have originated IN Waldo
county. There is in that county only one
place Of considerable size, and outside of
that place there is very little rumsellng,
while in that place there is not much. There
is DO place in that region where the prohibit
tory law has conspicuously failed to prohib-
it, and therefore no reason why
friends of temperance should have
become so much dissatisfied with
the workings of the law as they have
seen them, as to desire to abandon it and SUBJ
stitute another of a different kind 10 its
stead. Had the movement originated in
Bangor, or any other of the large cities of
the State, it might have been argued with
some force that its advocates were temper
ance men who had become convinced that
prohibition was not so effective method of
suppressing the liquor traffic as license might
be. But in Waldo county a county made up
almost entirely of small towns, where the
liquor law has been well enforced, it is hard
ly probable that the dissatisfaction with it
among temperance men has become so great
as to call for radical change of policy. We
suspect, therefore. that when the facts are
known it will clearly appear that the
authors of the movement are men who are
not dissatisfied with the present law because
it does not restrict enough, but, on the con-
trary, because it restricts too much.

Lord Dufferein predicts for the Marquis of
Lansdowne a successful administration of
the affairs of India. As the settlement of
the Afghan frontier question will probably
stand for time, there is no reason why
the new viceroy should not have smoother
sailing. But should Russian intrigues and
aggressions come ON again as they came on
three years ago, the English ministry may
find that there is difference between LaDs-
downe and the diplomat, whose experience
Of the intrigues of the court of the Sultan
had fitted him TO fathom Russian duplici.y
and battle Russian intention.

The gentlemen who spoke at the Board OF
Trade banquet Saturday evening" discussed
elevators, manufactures, reciprocity with
Canada and amusements. The speeches
were all interesting and many of the sug
gestions thrown out were valuable, or would
be If they should ever become anything
more than suggestions. These banquets are
demonstrating abundantly that the Portland
Board Of Trade contains plenty of men with
ideas, and ability to express them. 1t is.to
be hoped that, in the near future. it will be
demonstrated also that the Board contains
plenty Of men Of action.

MILES CITY extends II cordial iuvi
tation to everybody to join in the cele-
bration of the nations birthday and
mark the ll2th mile post of our indie
p%endence,
JULY 4TH, 1855.
Mindful of Its position as the leading
city Of eastern Montana, the citizens
of Miles City have determined 10 spare
no expense to make this celebration in
every respect worthy OF the incident II
commentaries and of the people who
give il. A large sum of money has
been subscribed by the citizens for
public use and the
22ND L.. S. INFANTRY,
now stationed ut Fort keogh, have
cordially joined hands with the citi-
zens and will do all in their power TO
add TO the success Of the celebration.
THE PROGRAMME
has been arranged 10 cover the whole
day and extend far into the next, and
will comprise the following special
features:

the battery from Fort keogh.
In the afternoon commencing at .
o'clock there will be a match game OF
base ball between MILES CITY and
FORT kEuGH. Both clubs contain
good players and as they meet for the
fret time un this occasion II will with
out doubt prove IA most interesting
game. Next will come the
RACES,
| of which there will I've at least three
and perhaps m%ore-both TkoTTING
| and RUNNING. While the committee
are unable ut this time to schedule the
race programme in detail they feel
that they can assure the public that
1.-the races will he FIRST CLASS, and the
arrangements in the hands of parties
who thoroughly understand HOW TO
DO IT. To visitors we say this:
IL AyC HAVE \ HORSE
that has got any speed, bring him in

FIREWORKS
in the Park, embracing all the novel
ties OF the p%yrotecbnic art, which have
been specially ordered from the factory
for this OCCASION.
Usually in towns OF les enterprise
and snap thOn MILES CITY this would
end the festivities and visitors would
be turned adrift in the dark with II

AGreat Deal About TIGHTS.

Every now and then there is dis
cussion about tights. There is not
much TO the subject. and, curiouSly
enough, the better the tights are the
less there is of them. RoSina Vokes
explains in the course of that delight
full little comedy, The Milliner's Bill"
how, when she was burlesque actress.
she put her entire costume in glove
box. But there is an awful lot said
about this tinted and rotund partner
ship as a starting point, or a starting
points, all the same. Emma Abbott
used to have good deal to say about
tights. She used to declare she wouldn't
wear them at all. But whether this
was because she was afraid of taking
cold or running counter to her early re-
ligious impressions, is matter which
has never been made known.
That clever woman and statuesque
beauty, Belle Urquhart, is responsible
for the last excitement over the tights
question. 1t came about as the result
Of her first appearance in "Nadjy."
And while the excitement was Oh
dozen questions rose every day, not
to say every night, lips with reference
to this part of the ordinary costume of a
comic opera queen, as they had done
very naturally and perhaps very prop
erly on former occasions. These QueS-
tiOnS ran about as follows:
How do comic opera queens feel in
tights, anyway? What are their sensa-
lions when they first put the uniform
on? Do they really like to wear them?
How much do they really have to pad?
Where do they put the padding? Are
there any really symmetrical girls?
How much do their tights cost? How
long do they wear them before they
wear out? Do they bag at the knees?
DO they suffer in health by wearing
them, either from the strain on their
waist or for any other reason?
A number of the leading queens of
comic opera have answered these Ques
tions in very spirited, and, in many
cases, in very humorous fashion.
Their essays are given herewith pre-
ciSely as they wrote them.

LAWN TENNIS.

2. The balls should not weigh more
than one pound each and should not be
of the Goldfish variety.
3. They should be covered with some
soft substance to prevent their making
dents in the players head.
FOurth-In case the ball is driven over
the fence and into field occupied by a
savage bull, the gentleman with the red
blazer is the proper person to recover
the ball.
5. In case ball is driven through a
neighbours window, it is not necessary
to send for it. The neighbor usually
comes over in person. In such case it is
proper to suspend the game and permit
the ladies to withdraw. If the neighbor
is not prOfane person, the ladies may
be permitted to remain and stand their
share Of the bill.
THE RACKET.
6. The racket should not be of the
kind some young men go on.
Z. A loaded handle is recommended
to experts. 1t will be found convenient
in case of dispute about the score.
8. Every young man going out Of
town for over Sunday should carry a
racket. 1t lends an air of distinction
which impreSseS people in the city. If
the young man does not play tennis the
racket may be left at the station and
called for on the way back Monday
morning.
COSTUMES.
|. 9. Almost anything outlandish will
do, particularly if it is striped.
10. Young men Of meager develop
ment In the lower limbs must wear
knee-breeches. This rule is imperative.
II. Ordinarily, ladies playing tennis
do not wear trains.
II. Under the Boston rules, ladies are
permitted to retain their eyeglasses.
Is. Tennis costumes should not be
worn to church. They have tendency
to rattle the preacher.
THE GAME.
IA. The old rule about those also
serve who only stand and wait is now
obsolete.
15. After July 81, 1888, and until the
beginning of the regular chestnut sea-
son, all plays and puns on the words
'deuce," ''love" and advantage will
be strictly barred.
16. The butler is not expected to serve
at tennis. This duty is usually per-
formed by the young ladies of the house.

You have to be awfully careful when
you put on your tights. They rip so
tasily. a finger nail can tear them.
Tights are pulled up with strap round

fastened WIN SAFETY pins.
Padding, which is made of sleeps
wool, is very common. Very few women
