A telegram was received in Troy
Tuesday morning announcing the sud
den death at Vergennes, Of Miss Harriet
@. Robinson. eldest daughter Of Mrs,
Edmund A. Robinson. No particulars
have as yet been received, but it ID
known that she was in apparent good
health the day before. We are almost
stunned by the frequency of the blows
that have fallen upon our community OF
late, in the death Of so many Of our

in the hands of Him who knoweth best,
and dOeth all things well. 1t is for US

Congressional Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The house has
adopted the conference report on the joint
resolution authorizing the president to
arrange conference for the purpose of
promoting arbitration and encouraging
reciprocal commercial relations between
the United States and the republics of
Mexico and Central and South America
and the empire Of Brazil.
The bill appropriatlng $4,000 to sup
ply the deficiency in the appropriation for
the expense Of collecting revenues from
the customs for the fiscal year ending
June Both, was passed with an amend
ment appropriating $3,500,oo0 to supply
the deficiency in the appropriation for the
payment of pensioners of the war Of 1912.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the tariff bill.

Read and Reflect.

An exchange well says, "What would
you think of a man who, when work is
scarce would not try all the harder to
find it?' And yet you hear business men
say, or at least we have heard them say
here in Bozeman, aThat business is SO
dull it will not pay to advertise" The
secret of success in these days Of active
competition has been discovered by him
who attracts new customers and pushes
out beyond natural neighborhood limits.
The test of business ability is shown in
periods of depression, when nerve and
good Judgment win the day. Anyone can
do business when it comes to him, but
when trade is dull active exertion must
be made to obtain it. A sprightly adver-
tisement during the dull season when the
business man "cuts down expenses" by
taking out his advertisement is the time
that the judicious advertiser gets in his
work. He calls attention to his stock, his
bargains and everything else that is ca
pable of catching the eye and leaving an
impression on the mind He keeps some
thing new before his readers and he makes
every word count. t.-Bozeman Chronicle.

Let Her Go, Gallagher.
10000.

New YORK, May 6.-The new liquor law
in New Jersey went into effect to day and
not saloon was open nor drop of liquor
sold openly in the state from Hoboken to
Camden. At Taylor's hotel, Jersey City,
the cashier said that it was the first day
in the history Of that venerable inn that
no liquor had been served to guests. At
Doyle's famous old stone house sign was
hung out, "Closed for the first time in
seventy years. Let her go, Gallagher" ]"
The pertinency of the legend lay in the
fact that Assemblyman Gallagher, of the
Jersey City district, was active in having
the law passed. Some of Gallagher's
friends demonstrated with the proprietor,
with the result that the sign was taken
down and another subitituted reading:
CLOSED by the law. Close up the law
makers" The saloon keepers of Hoboken,
Fort Lee and Jersey City were in despair.
Usually thousands OF New Workers go
across on the ferries Sundays to enjoy the
luxury of beer and other beverages. To-
day the pilgrims were few and the pill
grimage brief one, the well posted stay
ing away.

settlement. (Cheers.) Justice would be
done to Ireland; ere long the national SEN
timent would assert ITSELF The tones
plumed themselves upon being defenders
of law and order. Instead of maintaining
order the government had provoked MUIR
derous breaches of the law Parnell was
as much devoted to the maintainance Of
law and order as any one. Neither he nor
Parnell initiated the "plan of campaign" !"
The government candidates had created
the ''plan of the campaign" by making
the law odious to the people, The object
of the government seemed to be to insult,
exasperate and degrade the Irish. AS
soon as the terrible facts regarding the
sufferings in Ireland were brought home
to the upright minds of the people in
England, they would unite to redress the
sad errors of the past" (Cheers)

A Workingmen's Ticket for Rutte.

BUTTE, May IA third ticket is about
to be sprung on the voters of this city eor
the coming city election. About one hun
dred men gathered in the Miners Union
hall Sunday night to consider the matter.
Resolutions were adopted, the substance
of which are that the republican and
democratic conventions, at their meetings
Saturday, ignored the workingmen by not
consulting their wishes in the selection of
candidates for the city Offices, and they
therefore resolved to nominate an indie
pendent or workingmens ticket. Select
ed delegates from each ward will hold a
convention Wednesday night in the
Miners Union hall. 1t is rumored that
VIM Owsley will head the ticket for
mayor.

STEVE ELKINS' SCHEME.
Hew Blaine is to be Nominated--Dep Only
Cats Paw.

New YORK, May 9.-There has lately
been shown here transcript of a letter
written by Steve Elkins that throws con
siderable light upon the schemes Of the
Blaine managers. In connection with the
positive assertion of Col. Mcclure that
Blaine is a candidate, it brings to the
country at large convincing proof that,
barring fate, Mr.. Blaine will be again the
republican nominee. Mr.. Elkins in this
letter Gts authenticity cannot be ques-
tioned) writes that Chauncey Depew is
being doomed simply to hold the New
York delegation away from Sherman. He
asserts that DepeW is only fgurehead
candidate, who at the proper time will
throw off all disguise and stand out bold
ly for Blaine. Elkins goes on to say that
the plan is to spring deadlock upon the
national convention at the start, by which
the Allison, Sherman, Alger and Gresham
men will find themselves unable to nomi-
nate their leaders, Every secret effort
will be made by the Blame men to prevent
too great concentration of strength up
on any one candidate This deadlock will
be maintained until the delegates wear
out and begin to weaken. Then Depew
will cast the vote of the New York dele
cation for Blaine, Pennsylvania will fol
low and, the whole convention joining in,
make the Maine man unanimous choice.
Mr. Elkins adds that there is no question
Of Blaine's acceptance; that B. F. Jones,
of Pittsburgh, has received direct word
from Blaine that he will accept This
word was brought by gentleman ex-
pressly sent to Europe to see Blaine and
ascertain from him positively how he felt.
This is the gist of the Elkins letter, which
was personal and private one, but leaked
out through the enthusiasm of it's reci-
pient over the news conveyed.

A Difference of Opinion.
crops.

Students of humanity are never at {
loss for subjects on which to exercise
their powers of mental analysis. Here
for instance, is Anthony Chabot, Of Oak
land, CAL, who endowed many charities
but declined to establish home for indi-
gent old men upon the ground that man
generally owed his indigence to laziness
or bad habits. He generally enriched
charities for women and children however.
On the other hand, Mime. Bouciaut, a
Partisan philanthropist, left home for
old men, giving as reason that old men
are the most helpless of creatures, while
old women manage to get along somehow.
All OF which goes to sustain the philoso-
ply Of the man who remarked that it was
a blessing everybody didn't think alike.
and in that case everybody would fall IN
love with his own wife.-New York

WOLF POINT, May 12.-On Wednesday
last fifteen head of horses were stolen
from this place. After diligent search
and inquiry ii. has been ascertained that
they were undoubtedly stolen by three
Piegan Indians, who were last seen few
miles west of this place. All hope of
catching the red thieves on the trail with
the horses is abandoned and the only re,
course will be to follow them to their
agency and recover the animals there if
possible.
Big SANDY, May 12.-It is reported here,
and not denied, that Mr.. Carbury, who
has been in the employ of the Manitoba
Railway company for some time past as
station agent and telegraph operator at
this place left this morning, and report
says there is a BALANCE due the company.
It is to be hoped this will prove untrue.

Strange InfatuatioEa.

CHICAGO, May 8.-Parmley Billings, the
man after whom the city Of Billings, M.
T., is said to have been named, died here
to-day. He had been an invalid for some
time. During his illness he had curious
desire to buy clothes, and purchased a
number of suits that he has not even put
on. It is said he leaves the largest ward
robe ever collected by any one man in this
city. His father was the first president
of the Northern Pacific railroad and is
wealthy citizen
