The lady is Miss Alice Godefroy, and she was
formerly a pupil in vocal music at the
Academy of Notne Dame. at Goyanstown.
Here she showed such unusual talent that
she was brought to Baltimore. She has
been in Paris for several years, and became
eminently successful, owing to her beautiful
voice and the additional attraction of being
young and pretty.
Miss Godefroy's health failed recently, and
owing to her continued illness, she was com

Death in a Blaze of Dynamite.

Tons RIVER y. j.. Dec 2I.-The mixing
house in the United States Dynamite Com
pany's works, about two miles north of here,
was destroyed by fire this morning. VIII
liam Tompson was burned to death and
Robert Madkiff so seriously burned that his
recovery is doubtful.
The building was,a mere shell and con-
tanned several hundred pounds of dynamite,
which burned instead OF exploding. Thomp-
son was taken from the ruins burned to a
crisp, Lis brains being exposed. Madkiff
was found outside the bnilding near the
door, where he probably fell while trying 10
escape. His face and arms are frightfully
burned. Both men reside in Toms River
and have families.
The cause of the FIRE is moi known, but it
is supposed that in mixing dynamite the
mixture caught fire and, flashing instei Of
exploding, set fire to the building. The loss
to the company viii not exceed 81 600.

TIE Montana imbroglio has become %
dangerous and offensive that the citizen,
are elboWing the politicians out of the
way and are making imperative demands
for a speedy organization Of the State
Legislature and lis speedy passage to the
transaction Of purely local business. 1t
is Of infinitely less Importance TO the
people Of the new State as to who shall
be elected Senator's than as to what pro-
vision shall be made for executing the
laws Of the State and as 10 what those
laws shall be. The business OF the State
is delayed, its credit impaired, its peace
threatened BY the protracted and fac
tious conduct Of the disharmonious Leg
islature.
The Helena Herald in 6 very dispas-
sionate manner calls upon the Democrats
in both houses 10 do the one thing that
can be done with credit TO themselves
and 10 their party-to unite in joint ses-
sion with the Republicans, a quorum be-
ing formed without participation Of any
member Of either house whose seat is
contested, and after organization 10 pro-
ceed to regular business, leaving 10 the
election committees Of each house 10 in
vestigate the validity Of claims presented
to them by the contestants This. GER
tainly, is the practical method of settling
the claims Of various persons 10 seats in
either house. The present attitude OF
the Democrats is revolutionary. The
Republicans cannot affori to trust them
too eonhdingly. even if they make good
promises. Men who will encourage
fraud al the ballot-box viii not be gov
erned by any high sense .f honor in a
legislative body. Ex-Governor Houser
and some Of the other Democratic mil
licnaires are undoubtedly using their
great influence 10 compel The Rspubli
cans TO give up the great vantage ground
which they now hold.

ALIEN O. MYERS claims to have been
offered q house and lot in Cincinnati il
he would quit talking about the sale Of
tine Ohio senatorship to Calvin 5. Brice.
That is a big offer, but Myers couldn't
keep the promise il he made it. He
must talk, and just now he has the most
interesting subject that has been brought
up in Ohio since the same Senatorsbip
was sold six years ago. Mr.. Myers knew
something about that sale, and it is only
fair to assume that'he is not entirely ig-
norant Of his subject now.
