THEIR BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW.
The New Club House Opened at Grsa
Fails Last Night.

1 fall> Last NiEbJ-
GREAT FALLS. June 2O-ISpecial to the
Independent - Tonight the Rainbow
club threw open its doors To the grace and
beauty of Great Falls. The adjoining
town hall was devoted TO dancing. while
the guests were free 20 wander at their own
sweet will through the fine apartments
which, under the magic skill OF the decora-
tors art, are invested with oriental splen-
dor.
The club which has thus been inaugur
sted is the result Of q resolution of some
puolic-spirited citizens that Great Falls
should have a club for the enjoyment of its
own people and the entertainment Of
strangers Informal meetings were fol-
lowed by formal ones, until finally the
Rainbow club was duly launched. amid
dOWlng bumpers OF champagne. Some de-
lay occurred in acquiring appropriate
headquarters, but the determination Of the
promoters never relaxed. They were re-
solved to have ine, spacious. centrally 10
Gated club rooms even II they had 10 build
a club house OF sand COulee sandstone.
Such accommodation was finally found
in the Phelps Maginnis block, the upper
nOor Of which was quickly transformed
into spacious apartments. Entering the
club the visitor fnds himself in the hall
and cloak room, which are adorned with
teIIa Gotta paper nanglngs ana are laid
with linUleum.
From here il is not fsr to the reception
room. Here the walls and ceilings are
symphonies IN blue and gold that would
have delighted the eye of the asthetic
Whistler. The brussels carpet is beautiful
IN design and corresponds in tone with the
walls and furniture. Elegance and com
fort are eUmbined in the massive oak fur
niture of this fine apartment, where mem
bers and their friends may meet in social
converse and view the busy streets and
handsome residences of the city as well as
the bold bluffs of the broad Missouri
which stand as sentinels beside the Black
Eagle falls.
Adjoining this apartment is the reading
room. which Is accorded prominent place
in all modern clubs. Here the dominant
tints are also blue and gold. A spacious
table, laden with the heavy and light liter
ature of the day, invites the searcher for
recreation to spend some time prOftably
there. Nearby are the billiard room and
buffet, each of which are appropriately
furnished and adorned.
The officers of the club are: President,
+. p. Atkinson. vice president, John r
Payne; secretary and treasurer, Howard
Crosby. The house committee is composed
OF Messrs. Shur, Dickerman and Crosby.

SAVED BY A DREAM.

4 singular Story Told by Joe Williams to
His FeI1ow-soIdiers.
Halls Journal of Health: man of the
name of Joe Williams had told dream TO
his fellow soldiers. some of whom related
il to me months previous TO the occurrence
which relate. He dreamed that he crossed
a river. marched over a mountain and
camped near a church located in q wood,
near which a terrible battle battle ensued,
and In a charge just as he crossed a ravine
he was shot in the heart On the ever
memorable 9TH of December, 1851 battle of
Prairie Grove, northern Arkansasl. as we
moved at a double-quick to take our place
in the line of battIe, then already hOtly
engaged, we passed a church, q small
frame building. / was riding ia the
flank of the command, opposite to Williams,
as we came in view of the house. THAT
Is the church saw in mYldreams. ."he said.
/ made no reply, and never thought of the
matter until evening.
We had broken the enemy's lines and
were in full pursuit, when we came to a
dry ravine I'm the woods, and William said
'-Just on the other side of this ravine
was shot IN my dream, and I'll stick my
hat under my shirt" Suiting the action
to the word he doubled up his hat as he ran
along and crammed ii into his bosom.
Scarcely had he adjusted il when a minnie
ball Knocked him out of line. Jumping
up quickly he pulled out his hat, waved il
over his head, shouting: "fm all right -
The bail raised a black spot about the ; re
of mans hand Just over the heart and

The Voice: The delay in admitting new
states suggests an impending danger. The
transformation OF territories into states
should not depend upon the votes Of con-
gressmen, who receive OF exclude them
according 10 partisan policy. There are
always territories making application for
admission. They are like cards In the pack
that the dominant party can use to supple
ment its hand OF moi, according to the
emergency Of the political game. The law
should necessitate their admission when
they have attained 70 certain conditions
involving numbers and character of pOpu-
lati0n- This law should be made very
strict In It's requirement OF territories
so that neither bOrdes of Indians. Mormons
nor iIliterate sQuatteTs could qualify as
citizens. But when the territory has at
tained 70 the proper stature of statehood il
should come IN upon presentation of ere
dentials. The only objection 70 such a
system Of admission would be in case of
territory acquired from foreign govern
ments- Such should be admitted TO the
franchise OF the republic only by q vote Of
the people or that OF the various state leg
islatures. But whatever plan NAV be
adopted il should prevent the territories be-

BALL PLAYERS AGE FAST.

Men Old on the Diamond Are Yet Young
in Year..
Philadelphia Record: There is no class
of men that seem to age so fast as ball
players" said Manager Harry Wright, of
the Philadelphia club, yesterday. Capt
ADsOn Is called Pop and patrons of the
game exclalm, in reference to the number
of years he has played, why, there's old
Anson; he has played ball half a century,
Now, AnsOn has played bail long time,
but il is not quite nineteen years since ne
branched out as a professional. The rea-
son for this misjudgment of ball players
age Is very simple. He is so much on the
tongue OF the enthusiast, is subject to so
much criticism, and his good plays and
bad plays are so enumerated from
year to year, that, after he has
been prominent for a few wears be is
called daddy in the profession, and i'm
mediately the impression arises that he
certainly must be as old as Methuselah-
When was in Cincinnati some years ago a
well-knOwn base ball enthusiast asked
where is that veteran, Harry Wright? I
want 70 get a look at him. Well, you can
just imagine how surprised he was when
he beheld a man before him with a black
beard, black hair and ~ years old, who
went by the name of Harry Wright No,
eiT, every one of us IN the base ball prOfes-
sion are misjudged in regard 10 our age,
and certainly do protest against being
considered decrepit veteran. Ball play
eTs do not age fast. If they keep themselves
in good condition. A player who is in
every way temperate can play ball for
twenty years, and at the end of that time
be as sound and healthy as a young colt"
When sam Thompson, who Is only twen-
ty eight years old, was asked whether ball
players age East, he said: "Well, some
times | think | am forty years old. They
call me odd sam or one OF the big Four
and speak OF my playing as cOeyal with
country. Why, 1 have only played ball
seven years Newspapers, enthusiasts and
cranks call us aged, but | don't care. |
suppose 1 shall play ball until they term
me ssuperaDnuated.' l really think the
laugh is on our side But 1 will tell you
who created these false Impressions about
our age-the cranks."
al suppose l am very, very DID," re-
marked Bufinton, sententiously, "but,
honestly, | am only twenty-eight For some
reason think the folks must have made a
mistake when they put the year of my
birth down in the family Bible. They
make me twenty-eight years of age, but the
ball cranks often come up 10 me aud ask.

Yes / really have only played for the
last seven years, and commenced prOfes-

ject of so much talk, and all our petty do
ings are matters of continual remark"

AN INCENTIVE TO INVENTION.

How George Westinghouse Made Time To
Attend the Ball Games.
Pittsburg Dispatch: A story is told Of
the boyhOOd of George Westinghouse, Jr..
who is known everywhere as the inventor
of the celebrated airbrake which bears his
name, and later by his gigantic operations
in electric lighting and natural gas, which
shows that the germs Of his inventive Abil-
ity were very early ripe for development
George was very fond of playing ball,
and was very often absent from his work
al his fathers factory IL was at last
decided that Georges work should
be arranged on the piece system,
instead of the time system, 90
that so soon as he had finished his task he
could seek the seductions Of the ball
ground The quickening effect of this ar
rangement was soon made manifest, for,
without any previous knowledge Of the
now well-knOwn disk method Of cutting
metals, he experimented and discovered
that, with a circular disk OF soft sheet-irOn,
on the highest speed of his lathe be could
split file- He quickly utilized this method
of completing bis daily task, and repaired
80 early each day 70 the ball ground, that
bis father at first feared a miscount had
occurred. On watching George at work,
however, he soon saw for himself how the
remarkable feat was accomplished.

The Man Who Killed HIS Partner in Tel
egraPh GulCh Arraigned Ia Court.
BUTTE, June 2O.-lSpeeial to the Inde-
pendent lon the 5sh Of this month VIM.
Fitzpatrick stabbed his partner, VIM.
Healey, in a cabin In Telegraph Gulch,
and the victim died the following day.
This morning, having been indicted and
arraigned, the prisoners trial was begun,
only two weeks having expired since the
killing. The entire day was consumed by
the district court in finding . jury to try
the case. The regular panel Of iurymen
was speedily exhausted and q special
venire was issued for hfty more. Court
adjourned till 2 O'Clock and reconvened at
that time and the afternoon was occupied
in securing a jury. Tie evidence in the
case is brief and the trial will probably be
finished tomorrow. The grounds OF Fitz-
patTick's defense will be self-defense
AT the time the stabbing was done he
was engaged in q hand-tO hand encounter
with Healey, in which, according to the
testimony of a witI ess, the latter was the
aggressor. Healey was q powerful young
man and was getting the best of Fitzpatrick.
When the latter was arrested the following
day he had very black eyes and q number
Of ugly-lOoking bruises, which he had re-
ceived in the encounter with Healey.
These facts are the basis of the defense,
aud the general opinion is that Fitzpatrick
will not be convicted of murder in the first
degree.

THE MOUTH BATH.

a New Fancy for Society to Prac
tice-
Finger bowls a la Russo are to be found
in some of the most cosmopolitan dining
rooms, and the struggle with the crystal
basin and floating mouth mug is something
unforgetable. The bowl, half filed with
clear water. is placed on the usual dolly
covered platter, and in it is a tiny glass
containing a couple of spoOnfuls of pepper
mint OF wintergreen favored water with
which TO rinse the mouth. Now almost any
pet pupil or protege of society can lave her
finger tips, but the manipulation of the
mouth glass is feat that only the dexter
Gus can accomplish. The only way TO man.
age the mouth bath is to ''chOose a laugh
and take and expel the draught in an in
slant. Like kissing a shy girl, 1.-THE opera
ton must be done before body knows IL
has begun" and il you get caught by even
a single pair of eyes swallow the glass
rather than offend the taste. A native
Russian discussing the subject at an after
noon on etiquette in a New York salon
SAID; "toreIgners, as a rule, make disgust
ing work of the mouth glass. The secret is
speed. We simply empty the glass at a
gulp and empty The mouth behind the little
glass, and that is all there is 10 il. The
idea is not to- clean the teeth and Eargle
the throat, as | have seen Americans do,
but simply to remove from the mouth the
taste of the food. As a rule, the last courses
are sweets. which cloy the taste. Now, a
sip of any thing spicy or acid will be refresh
ing. and n one can't use gill of water
without disgusting those about him be can
eat lOZenge of mint OF winterberry, or,
better still, go of with the taste in his
mouth"
A single object lesson is better than a
term of theory and from the lovely Prin-
cess Marie Engslitcheff of Moscow society
students have mastered the Russian finger
bowls, and now, after hours of secret prac-
tice, these progressive matrons and maids
juggle with the mouth glass, finger basin
and dolly as daintily as they do with huted
china and the brasses and teapots about
samOvaI.
Pertinent TO things Russian, il may be
edifying to some CT the students thereof TO
say that the common, every day tea pro-
cured at the corner grocery will not suffice

Burke, the Suspect Arrested at Winnipeg.
Identified by the Chicago Detective
Who Was sent After Him.

CHICAGO. June 2O.-The police have
under surveillance in the Cronin case an
other suspect against whom they hope 10
secure evidence which will connect him
with the conspiracy. When the Carlson
cottage was examined and the foot prints
in the fresh paint on the floor discovered. q
shoemaker wrote TO the police offering val
liable suggestions. He said a well known
Irishman and Clan-na-Cisel man whose
name he had seen mentioned in the papers
in connection with the murder, was a Gus
toner Of his, and that be had very peculiar
feet A piece of the floor of the cottage
with the stocking foot prints on it was cut
out and taken to police headquarters, and
compared with the tracing OF the foot IN
the possession of the shoemaker. They
were found to correspond almost exactly in
size and shape. Ever since this discovery
was made the man has been closely
watched by the police and Is so guarded
that he cannot leave the city. The shoe
makers tracing and q fragment OF the floor
ing are in the hands of the grand Jury
The books of the Chicago National bank

today. An hour was spent in examining
the accounts of Alexander Sullivan, com

Evidence was given 10 show Sullivan's in
timacy with various suspects and TO his
frequently expressed animosity to CroDin.
John X Walsh. president of the Chicago
National bank. who was receiver for the
broker firm Of ROsenvelt n Co. after their
failure in 1887, was before the jury for
nearly an hour, explaining the operations
of Alexander Sullivan on the board of
trade in lSS2 and 1888, as indicated by the
books of the firm Ii was reported that so
far Mr.. Walsh's knowledge extended,
Sullivan experienced severe losses. A
number of witnt sses were examined, but
nothing of especial interest was learned.
It is probable the jury will complete its
labors this week. Nearly all the evidence
within the reach of the states attorney has
been produced, and unless the police sue
ceed in capturing Cooney within the next
hours, or the discovery of sd
dItional evidence duplicating him, the jury
will doubtless render its final report on the
case Saturday.
