@SeS'i. SJf ,-s!Hi, hUU
1t is the general impression that the
Vanderbilts live in the most magnificent
and expensive style. 1t is true they live
luxuriously, but the amount of their
personal expenditures, considering their
great wealth, is moderate. Cornelius
Vanderbilt spends about $3.50, 600 n
year, including his charities. william
X. Vanderbilt spends about 5000, 600,
and in this sum is included the main
! tenance of his yacht. Frederick w.
lives within $4,000, and George W..
who makes his homo with his mother
does not spend over $4,000. Mrs.
Shepard, Mrs. Sloane, Mrs Twombly
and Mrs. Webb spend $50, 900 year.
All told, the probable expenses of the
Vanderbilts are $715, 900 year.
Cornelius, William X. and Frederick
w. Vanderbilt. and Hamilton Nick.
Twombly and DR.. w. Seward Webb, the
latter two sons.in-law of the late William
F. ii. Vanderbilt, oil have official positions
on the Vanderbilt railroads, to which
good salaries are attached. The other two
ous-in-law, one Colonel Elliott f.
Shepard, has newspaper, the Mail and
Express, and the other, William D. Sloane,
has partnership interest in large

FIVE CENTS.


The Union Pacific railway, also known
as The Overland Route, has lately added
to its service number of new cars
(Which by the way are built by the World
famous Pullman Company entitled Colo
mist Sleepers, and which for convenience
and comfort are but little behind the
handsome Pullman Palace Car. The cars
are designed for the use and comfort of
the Colonist, who with his family intend
moving west to grow up with the coun-
try.
The only difference between these cars
and the regular first-class Pullman is that
the Colonist sleeper is not upholstered.
There are fourteen sections in each car,
and separate toilet rooms for ladies and
gentlemen. At night, by means of slid
ing head boards and heavy damask cur
tains, as much privacy is secured as if in
the regular first-class sleeper. Plenty of
fresh, clean towels and a. good supply of
water are also to be found. A uniformed
porter accompanies each car to look after
the comfort and attend to the wants of the
passengers, and no smoking is allowed.
1t certainly seems that for cheap and
commodious sleeping accommodations,
while travelling, these cars cannot be ex-
celled. Ole,

A DiDIOmatic Scandal.

There was serious diplomatic scandal
at Vienna during the shah's visit, which
has been kept very quiet. The Persian
minister to Austria has fallen into Pc
cuniary embarrassment, as his salary Of
$4,000 a year is appropriated by the grand
vizier, to whom he has also to send fire.
quent and costly presents. The minis
ter's creditors at Vienna assembled few
days before the shah arrived and decided
to send deputation to wait upon the
grand vizier with their complaint; and
accordingly that parsonage received them
and was handed an immense pile of the
minister's unpaid bills. The result was
that the shah paid his representatives
debts instead of taking him home for ex-
ecution. His majesty's liberality is at
tributed to the fact that the minister at
Vienna owns a large estate ON the Bos-
phorus, so that he would certainly have
declined to accompany the shah back tc
Persia. The grand vizier is said to have
told the minister that his difficulties were
entirely due to his own stupidity, as il
was quite open to him to make large
sums by trafficking in Persian conces
sions, titles and decorations SO long as he
remained in favor at Teheran.-London

A VOICE OF TRUTH.

Somewhat contrary to general exnec-
'a'ion' until the recent discovery of dem
ocratlc frauds in Silver Bow county, Mon
tana enters the Union as a republican
state-completing the quartet of Young
commonwealth which will swell the re-
puollcan column in both houses in con-
gress. 1t appears that the returns from
silver Bow county-where large num-
oers OF unnaturalized democrats We're
alioWed to vote-were not thrown out by
the canvassing board, but were withheld
from the board by the county clerk, who
IS a democrat, probably upon the theory
mat his action would arrest that of the
canVassing board or taint it with irregu-
larlty. In any case, the result is that all
the state officers elected are republican
with the single exception of Toole, the
democratic candidate for governor; that
the republicans elect six out of eight
judges for the supreme court and that
they have majority of six on Joint bal
lot in the legislature. which ensures the
election of two more republican United
States senators. So that the last rampant
OF the democratic party in the northwest,
which was garrisoned in the democratic
interest quarter of a century ago, by
fugitive Confederates from Jeff Thomn-
sons defeated Missouri hordes, has been
wrested from it by the picket guard of
the remotest outpost of the republican
army OF the west, and the republican
standard has been planted, probably to
stay, where it will do the most good to
the great mining industries which have
their seat amidst the mountain ranges of
Montana. If this thing goes on much
longer the democratic party very soon
will have as completely disappeared from
the northern latitudes of the United
States as the buffalo from its grassy
plains.

ard the ex-secretary of state and Miss
Mary Climer were married at 1 O'Clock
this afternoon in the presence of most
distinguished company. The intention
was to have the wedding as quiet as pos
sible and the invitations numbering 15C
were confined to the relatives of the con-

friends. Among the latter were EXPIRES

and Mrs. Fairchild, Hon. Geo. Bancroft
Justice and Mrs. Field, Justice and Mrs

and breakfast followed the ceremony
soon after the newly married couple left

Reported Resignation.

ecpoiteeA ASesissnatiOn.
Herald: 1t is said that TIL omas Couch,
present manager of tie Boston s. Mon
tana Mining Compans at Butte, will soon
resign his position, abandon mining and
devote himself to the breeding of fine
stock on his ranch near Great Falls. Mr..
Couch has already sent his family to the
ranch and will join them there as soon as
he can be relieved of his present respor-
sible position at Butte, which will be in
about six months. 1t is also reported
that Mr.. COUGHS successor, as manager
of the Boston s. Montana, will be Mr..
Vivian, who is at present superintendent
OF one of the noted copper mines at Lake
Superior. Mr.. Couch has made a fortune
in mining and is now abundantly able to
retire from business, but to give employ
ment to his er ergies he has determined
to settle down as stock grower. His
ranch is one of the finest in Montana, and
doubtless he will soon rank among the
mostsuccessful breeders in the northwest.

Herald: The desperate plight of Mon

able by the violent utterances of the party
organs. Says the Great Falls Tribune
Oem.) in speaking of the decision of tho
State canvassing board: "The democrats
were never so firm or resolute. They are
determined to adopt the most extreme
measures rather than allow this fraud to
triumph even for time. They feel that
they have right on their side and they
will stop at nothing to assert it,
So our democratic friends are going tc

A Minnesota Scientist Speaks.

G. L. Smith, who left for Helena YES
terday and who is a representative of the
Farm, Stock and Home, besides writing
for several other eastern papers, in an in
terview with a LEADER representative.
gave us the following interesting facts.
He said: 81 came to Montana about one
year ago for my health, expecting to re-
turn to my home in Minnesota as soon as
| felt recuperated, but upon my arrivin =
here and looking over the ground, your
advantages and future prospects, felt
the ure,never-failing impetus with which
you were being carried along and at once
decided to invest and make your interests
mine. Consequently 7 now own fine
ranch few miles east of your beautiful
city and feel as confident of the deve' 'op-
ment and future greatness of Montana as
I ever did of anything in my life"
Mr.. Smith is a scientific horticulturist
and for years has been connected with
that society in the state Of Minnesota, be-
ing one of their most important lecturers
and has lately written letter to one of
the Minnesota journals in which he ex-
presses himself as confident of the adapt
ability of this country for fruit of all
kinds if rightly handled. Taking into
consideration Mr.. Smiths long experience
and scientific tests with fruit in colder
climate than ours, we not only feel graft
fed, but higly elated with this report and
are perfectly satisfied that he is unmis-
takably right in what he says.
He, at present has charge of the land
scape work at the Hotel Broadwater and
has lately shipped from the state expert
mental farm of Minnesota, some of the
rarest Russian trees, which that state ia
at present expending $4,000 per year
for in tests and they will be planted in
Helena, where those who are interested
in the tree culture of Montana can derive
the greatest benefit from their growth in
this climate.
The landscape work at the hotel will
probably cease for this winter in about
three weeks, when Mr.. Smith will return
to Minnesota on business, but will return
to the work again in the spring.

The Democracy's Last Chapter

Inter Morntain: There is not repub-
lican of sense or responsibility in Silver
Bow county that this journal knows of
who does not heartily endorse the action
OF the county canvassing board and the
state canvassing board. The plot of the
millionaires to dcbunth TIC ballot and
steal the state has been frustrated, and
democrats as well as republicans rejoice
at the discontinue of the boodlers. The
latter cannot run this state with such a
high hand as they used to, and it is just
as we'll that they be taught this impor-
tant fact nov. The common people have
something to say now.
