Fine Artists and Fine Works.

The Advance Portrait Company, of Min
neapolis, consisting of four excellent artists,
who arrived in Helena about two weeks
ago, and were located at the Pacific Hotel,
have now secured rooms in the Penn block,
corner of Main and Bridge streets, where
they have fitted up a splendid studio A
reporter of the HERALD visited their new
quarters yesterday and found the artists
busily engaged in their different lines of
work-one in cray0n, one in pastel, one in
India ink and another in water colors.
Their works are of very superior order
and have been greatly admired. Many of
our prominent citizens have given them or
ders and in all cases their work has given
entire satisfaction. All who desire fine
portraits, executed in the highest style of
the art, should not tail to visit their studio
and avail themselves of the opportunity
now presented of securing a perfect like
ness, and one that will be finished in 3
style that can hardly be surpassed in any
of the Eastern cities

The day was spent in visiting two Of
the three sites that have been offered to
the University, embracing locations on the
east, west and north sides of Helena, any
of which would be suitable for the pur-
pose. To-day the trustees viewed the
other site and will hold another meeting
tonight to determine finally which place
shall be selected. The prevailing septi-
ment seems to favor the sites on the east
and west sides, though it is not known
which of the two will be chosen. The To-
cation offered on the west side is near the
Motor line in the Bradford addition. TIA.
on the east side is in the Townsite add

DEATH OF JOHN BRIGHT.

In the death Of John Bright not England
alone, but the whole world and the United
States in particular. have lost great and
noble man. His temporary alienation
from his old political associates and his op-
position to home rule for Ireland, may
check in some measure the expressions of
grief at his death and raise cloud over
his fame, but a man is to be judged by the
general tenor of his life, his career when in
the full hight of his mental faculties. So
Judged, England has produced few nobler
and more complete characters than John
Bright.
He was born November 16, 1911, near
Rochdale in Lancashire, of Quaker parent
age, and all his life was true to the faith
and teachings of that famous sect that has
furnished so many great and worthy names
to the old and new world. His public
career began in 1889, when the Anti.C Corn
Law league was formed, in which he was
associated with Golden. He first entered
Parliament in 1843 as member for Durham,
holding afterwards for Manchester and
Durham. He came into Office first in 1868
as President of the Board of
Trade, and again in 1873 as Chan
cellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.
In his prime he was good fighter in the
moral and intellectual field, though con-
scientifically and consistently opposed to
war. He was an advocate of many un-
popular measures in England which he
lived to see advanced to success and gen.
eral acceptance. Though of late in oppo-
ition to Gladstone and home rule in Ire
land, no Englishman has done more than
John Bright for the general success and ad-
vancement of the cause which he has op-
posed in the present Parliament.
With an instinct and self-sacri6cing
courage that will never cease to be memor-
able he espoused the cause of union and
freedom in our civil war when it cost
heavily to be known as friend of our i'm
perilled government. He fought for us as
effectively as any army corps in the field,
and no Englishman of any age deserves
more sincere respect from Americans than
John Bright.
All his life long he had been fighting the
cause of the common people of England,
now waging battle against the corn laws,
and again upon the irritating and repul-
sive game laws. Every measure to pro-
mote education and extend the electoral
franchise found in him sturdy and con-
sistent champion. Blessed with abundant
wealth and talent, he devoted them Loyalty
to the good of his fellow men.
In the years to come, when courts and
crowns have lost their glory and the royal
line of England has ceased to reign and its
fame sink to the level of its merits, the
name of John Bright will be pronounced
with ever increasing respect and our own
country will honor his name with scarcely
less of reverent affection.

BOsTON, March 2-At special meeting
of the directors of the Union Pacific, held

unanimously voted that under existing

WORTHY OBJECT.
Preliminary Steps for the Erection of
a Confederate Soldiers Home.

NEW YORK, March 24.-There was q
meeting at the Academy of Music to-night
under the auspices of the Citizens Com
mittee, in aid of the National Confederate
Soldiers Home at Austin, Texas. General
Barnum presided. Many Grand Army
men were in the audience, including Gen.
Crittenden and Gen. Carl Schurz There
were also numerous Confederate veterans
present. Major Joseph Il. Stewart, one of
the directors of the home, was the princi-
pal speaker. Among other things, he said !:
-.Sectarianism is being fast obliterated
from the minds and hearts of the men and
women of twenty-five years ago. They
now march shoulder to shoulder in the
struggles of civil conflict. We rejoice that
many thousands of Union soldiers are now
on the pension rolls. and about $4,000 ale
maintained by the government in comforta-
BILE homes and at an annual aggregate ex
pense of about $1,OOO,O 900, and that they
are honored wards of the nation. But
what may be done for the hapless confeder.
ate soldier who left the army and freely
shed his blood as willing sacrifice upon
the altar of country that had no spon-
sor at its baptism among the nations of
the earth, and which was destined to sink,
like some bright planet of the heavens,
never more to rise again? It might be an
unwise and possibly dangerous precedent
to aid at public expense those who fought
against the old flag, and Southern men in
both branches of our congress have ex
pressed their disapproval of this policy;
but may we not find sympathetic hearts
and generous hands to aid us with their
bounty?"

The Unhappy Proof Reader.

Tne most carefully edited journal is fall

readers have been suspended for weeks.
In spite:of this severe discipline the Herald
once made the astonishing announcement

into church. instead OF "surpliced fathers"
A reporter on that paper had occasion to
quote verse from q familiar Hmm, in
which the word herald occurred. The
proof reader dutifully underscored the
word. and the verse appeared. "Hark, the
Herald angels sing" It was in the New
York Worlds report of political meeting
that the word shouts" was so ludicrously
mlsprinted as TO make the blunder famous.

[Quincy, Qn.) Whig, March 23,l


Judge Henry N. Blake, recently appoint
ed chief Justice of Montana, is an old RESI-
dent of that Territory, having lived
there for more than twenty years. He
was captain in Massachusetts regiment
during the war, and at its close cast his
fortunes with the western Territory, where
ne was readily recognized as promising
member of the bar. He commenced his
career as editor of the Montana Post, pub
lished at Virginia City, and was ap-
pointed United States District Attorney at
the time Judge II. l.. Warren, formerly of
Quincy, was chief justice. He resigned
this position to accept an election from
the people as district attorney for the
counties of Madison, Gallatin, Beaverhead
and Jefferson. Although Captain Blake
was an ardent Republican, he was elected
to office in this Democratic district by
handsome msjorities In 1875 he was ap-
pointed by Gen. Grant as United States
Judge in the First Judicial district and
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of
Montana. He has been prominent in every
movement for the advancement and de-
velopment of the Territory, and was urged by
its people for his present appointment, as a
long and varied period of public service
had inspired confidence in his integrity
of character, and also in his marked ability
to adorn the high position.

CHIEF JUSTICE BLAKE.
Press Comments on His Appointment
to the Montana Supreme uIu
Bench.
[Madisonian (Dem.) March %.

Last evening the news was received here
that our townsman, Henry N. Blake, had
been named by the President for Chief
Justice of Montana We have no doubt
that the Senate has confirmed the nomi-
nation by this time. The information was
received with pleasure by the Judges
friends, Democrats as well as Republicans,
who see in the appointment just recogni-
ton of his fitness for the place. Judge
Blake heretofore served four years and a
half as Associate Justice of the Supreme
Bench; and we do not remember hearing
word uttered during his whole incum-
bency impugning his honesty, integrity
or ability. The Madisonian stands
to Judge Blake very much as the West
minister saddler did to Mr.. Fox-it "ad-
mires his talents, but---his politics.
and it is tree to acknowledge that land it
speaks in the light of more than twenty
years of intimate acquaintance) no ap-
pointment has been more worthily bestow-
ed than this, and to express the belief that
the appointee will wear the ermine with
dignity beitting the position, with honor to
himself and acceptability to the people.
We think we voice the sentiment of this
entire community in this expression of
opinion
