ORIGIN OF FANS.
The First One Carried by the Lovely
Daughter of q Chinese Mandarin.

| The First One Carried by the Lovely
Daughter of q Chinese Mandarin.
Kan ST was the first lady vino carried
a fan. She lived in ages which are past
and for the most part forgotten, and
she was the daughter of a Chinese
Mandarin. Whoever saw Mandarin,
even on a tea chest, without his fan?
In China and Japan to this day every
one has fan: and there are fans of all
sorts for every body. The Japanese
waves his fan at you when he meets you
by way OF greeting, and the beggar
who solicits for aims has the exceed
ingly small coin made on purpose" for
charity presented to him on the tip of
the fan. In ancient times, among
Greeks and Romans, fans seem to have
been enormous; they were generally
made of feathers, and carried by slaves
over the heads of their masters and
mistresses, to protect them from the
sun, or wave about before them to stir
the air. Catherine de Medici carried
the first folding fan ever seen in France;
and in the time of Louis XIV. the fan
was a gorgeous thing, often covered
with jewels, and worth a small fortune.
In England they were the fashion in
the time of Henry VIII. A fan set in
diamonds was once given to Queen
Elizabeth upon New Years Day. The
Mexican feather fans which Cortez had
from Montezuma were marvels OF
beauty: and in Spain large black fan
is the favorite. 1t is said that the use
of fan is as carefully taught in that
country as any other branch of educa-
ton, and that by well-known code of
signals a Spanish lady can carry on a
long conversation with any one, es-
pecially an admirer. Tho Japanese
criminal of rank is politely executed
by means OF a fan. On being sentenced
to death he is presented with fan,
which he must receive with a low bow.
and, as he bows. presto! the executioner
draws his sword and cuts his head on.
In fact, there is fan for every occasion
in Japan. MagaSirss.

A Few Fashion Notes.

There has been an endeavor in En-
gland to introduce pale-colored wed
ding gowns for brides.
Foliage is extremely fashionable this
s-sson for hats. bonnets and dress
trimmings.
Tinsel trimmings are both effective
and popular.
Shocking is especially adapted to
children's soft silk dresses.
French pinafores cut square at the
neck, without any belt st the waist,
made in fine muslin. with lace inser-
ton, are being adopted for little girls.
The growing fancy for amber orna-
ments is simple and inexpensive.
Flounces are feature of the latest
importations of French dresses.
Gay summer gowns are made OF
scarlet India silk. with black figures in
long, slender leaves, and trimmed with
a profusion of black lace.
Red silks. with white figures or
stripes, trimmed with white lace, and
having soft vest of white silk muslin,
are used for some very effective sum-
mer gowns.-N Y World.

Her dolls are now quite out of date;

We might be ministers of state,

Such strange new questionings dilate

Doth every movement animate;
With garments gathered for the race
She stands. a goddess slim and straight

of Annie Lundstrom, sent to the latter
city by George Bryson. They we're ship

Office of the company in Butte since their

trunks is that of Bryson. They were re
turned to Helena and are in the Helena
office. It is not known whether the eX-
press company will give them up without
an order from the court. There is consid-
cradle jewelry missing and it is under
stood that Sheriff Hathaway is in posses

to recover the missing articles which
formed so conspicuous a part Of Annie
Lundstrum's makeup, especially the
watch and chain. Bryson is still the same

signs of weakening. He asked the sheriff

HARD ON THE MoRMONs.
A Decision that Demoralizes the Church of
the Latter Day Saints.

SALT LAKE, October 8-The court of
Utah to-day entered final judgment de-
cree in the case of the United States
against the Mormon church corporation.
It has succeeded in collecting over mil
lion dollars worth of property, real
and personal. The decree entered to-day
is a complete triumph for the govern
ment. 1t declares the corporation of the
church dissolved and that the voluntary
religious sect now in existence has no
right to corporate property, except temple
blocks and buildings, which are set aside
to it. It denies the Intervention of a
large number of individuals claiming the
property; orders the real estate of the
corporation to be held by the receiver un-
til suits for the forfeiture of the same to
be brought by the government can be
brought to a conclusion, and it declares
all personal property of the late corpora
tion to have become escheated to the gov
ernment. This point was the one most
bitterly fought as the property of the
church was claimed in behalf of the in
corporation for the Mormon people as
successors in interest to the late corpora
tion, and by individuals who were mem
bers of the corporation. Under the evi
dence, the court decided that neither the
present church nor individuals had any
legal claims; that all the property had
been held upon trusts, the object of which
was principally to uphold polygamy, and
thai these trusts were the only ones to
which said property could be devoted. 1t
fu rther decides that the present church
still upholds all leases, and maintains po-
lygamy, and any dedication Of property to
it would be for the purpose of upholding
polygamy and would be unlawful.

THF FIRE FIEND.
Boulder Baptized in Fire--Losses and Incl

BOULDER, M. r., Oct. 5.-At 2 o'clock

from it's usual quietness by the alarm OF
fire, caused by flames issuing from the
building occupied by James Downs and
owned by Cans 8 Klein, of Helena. The
occupants of the building. barely escaped
in their night clothing, as the flames had
made much headway before discovery.
The facilities for extinguishing the flames
we're not adequate to meet the emergen-
cy, and the building and fixtures were a
total loss The building was valued at
about $500. The loss of James Downs,
in'stock and fixtures will amount to about
S2.5OO. In connection with his retail
business he did wholesale trade, manu-
featuring Hot Springs seltzer water, soda
water and ginger pop. I. J. Murray, the
genial host of the Windsor hotel, lost 200
cords of wood, which, with the damages
from removal Of furniture, sizes
up a total loss Of about $500; E. G. and
r. J. Dougherty, in fixtures, $3.50; r. j.
Dougherty, agent, $500. The fire was
near the business centre of
city, and but for the heroic efforts Of the
firemen disastrous results might have fol-
lowed. The Sentinel got out an extra
early in the morning with full details.
