SUCCESSFUL CONCERT.
A Rare Treat Enjoyed at Silver Bow
Wednesday Evening.

Ia Rare Treat Enjoyed at Silver Bow
Wednesday Evening.
The concert at Old Silver Bow, Wednes-
day evening, was a success in spite OF the
stormy weather which prevailed. The hall
was well filed and the entertainment
proved unusually interesting and pleasing
and the audience manifested it's pleasure
by applauding the different performers
most literally. With the exception of the
directress, Miss Price, none of the persons
who took part in the programme had ever
appeared in public before, but for all that,
they rendered their different parts with
ease and grace and were not affected with
that nervousness SO often manifested by
nearly all tyros on the stage.
The Juvenile chorus by Miss Stolte and
the Misses Louise, Christina and Maudie
Nissler was especially good and pleased the
audience perhaps more than any other
feature OF the entertainment.
Miss Emma Stolte sang "Wen Ich Mich
Mach der Heimath Sehen," an old German
ballad, with much feeling and expression
and at the close OF the song received an
encore.
The Lullaby" by little Mandie Nissler,
was charmingly sung and she too received
q recall.
instrumental pieces by Miss Nissler, Miss
Dries, Miss Stolte aud Miss Price and
Master Willie Nissler were rendered with
rare finish and excellent execution. The
duett rom Mozart, by Miss Price and
Miss Dries, was a gem and astonished
Taken as q whole the concert was the
most enjoyable and pleasant entertain
ment which has ever been given at Silver
Bow.

THE CONTRACTAWARDED
HELENA PARTIES no BUILD TINE
HOMESTAKE BRANCH.

Norfhern Pacific Directors Meet and Give
the work to Greene. Barbour Q Co
The Figures at which the Award was
Made Said to be the Lowest Ever Sub
mitted for Similar Work I'm the West.
Private dispatches were received from New
York yesterday afternoon which stated
that the directors OF the Northern Pacific
had met in regular monthly session and
had awarded the contract for the construc-
ton OF the Homestake pass branch to
Butte, to.Greene. Barbour q Co., OF Helena.
It cannot be said that the other bidders
we're surprised at the result. as Mr.. Keeie
has made q boast during the last six weeks
that he would show the Minnesota o n
some figures ON construction work
that would ''paralyzs 'em, and he evident
IL has been as good as his word. It is un-
derstood that the figures at which the
award has been made are very low, in fact
the lowest that have ever been submitted for
railroad work in the west The different
classifications of work, it is said, will show
q reduction OF 20 per cent. when compared
with those paid by the Montana Central.
Work will begin Immediately at both
ends Of the line-Butte and Canon House
Junction, near Gallatin. 1t 10 the inten.
ton OF the chief engineer to build about
fifteen miles from this end, which comprises
all Of the heavy work.
The time set for the completion of the
branch is January 1, 1890.

When a man lives almost to the end of

When a man lives almost to the end OF
his one hundred and third year, as was
tine cas- with Mr.. Cheyreul, the French
chemist, who died the other day rather
Unexpectedly, it is natural that the work
he has done in the world should be some
what lost sight Of in wonder over the
time he has been given to do it in. 1t
is, indeed, no slight distinction, as
human life now goes, to have lived long
enough to have seen three kings of
France, two emperors, and three repub-
lies. But II. Cheyreul wa much more
than a mere centenarian; he served in
the world in other ways than as the pre-
server, SO to say. to several generations
of the memoirs Of the days when Bona
parte was a second lieutenant, and
Danton and RObespierre obscure lawyers.
Although not to be ranked, perhaps,
among the very foremost Of the worlds
chemists in respect Of the advancement
OF the science in its broadcast aspects,
M. Chevreul nevertheless outranked
many Of his c%o-labOrers as regards the
practical direction of his researches and
the industrial value Of his work. I'm
p0rtant results attained through his in
vestigations in the field of animal oils
and his studies of his theories of color
and the effects in dyeing and the arts
will always be associated with his name;
and for them he has received an i'm
mense array Of titles, prizes and medals.
The usefulness of his life was, indeed,
not disproportionate to its length; if his
caree is marked by much that is excep-
tional or interesting, it is scarcely less
marked by great industry and service
ableness to his fellows.

She listened eagerly while Isabel sang,
and her smiles and tears showed how
keenly she appreciated the music. She
examined Louisa's ~i-ainting every day
with unfiagging interest, discussed every
effect and was happy if she could help
mix the colors or prepare the canvas.
She questioned grandma about her neu-

When George came home the whole family

Until a few days ago it was not known
that one of the leading ladies of this place
was a cousin OF President Harrison. Her
grace and beauty and taste in dress We're a
constant social theme among her circle OF
friends with whom she awoke universal ad-
miration. Especially has the fit and drap-
ing OF her dress been the subject of ap-

PROGRESS IN UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.

PROGRESS IN UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE
The dispatch published yesterday in
TIE MINER, to the effect that a woman
suffrage bill had passed the house in the
Michigan Legislature, and the recent dis
heartening sigh Of Susan B. Anthony
over the fact that universal suffrage in
America is yet far from being realized,
reminds the Obse, yer of political affairs
that woman suffrage is making even
more rapid progress in England than in
America. Henry George, writing from
London, calls attention to some facts
which will be surprising to the great
mass OF American readers.
Women in England already vote at
school board and municipal elections.

THE REPUBLICAN, PAKrY IN THE
A convention was recently held in
Birmingham, Ala, as the dispatches to
THE MINER stated at the time, at which
it was proposed to effect q new sort of
Republican organization, on q protection
basis, with the colored IMAM and
brother totally eliminated. The move
ment seems to have had the endorse
ment of President Harrison. The Mem
phis appeal" has this opinion Of the
matter:
This Birmingham movement, so enthusi-
astically Endorsed by President Harrison,
is q purely chimericaI one and will result in
nothing for the party now dominant in
national affairs. Ii will result in nothing.
because the Republican economic policy
does not commend itself at the South, the
majority OF whose people are agricultural
lists and merchants who are opposed to the
robber tariff, which accumulates q surplus

of loose financial legislation in the form OF
and corrupting ~appropria-
tions. No, the South ia solid. It liz solid

matter remains to be considered, 1
however, and j! cannot be considered too
,~arefully by either the colored Republicans

should have learned from the

from CraWford's relatives, resid-
ing at Butler, Missouri, saying that they
would like to have the body forwarded to
them for burial, but that they were unable
to bear the expense. After y few minutes
consultation by the mans friends. it was
decided that the wish of the relatives
should be granted. Accordingly the body
was taken back to the uudertaker's rooms
and orders given hat it be embalmed and
prepared for shipment.
Although not by any means wealthy
themselves. the associates Of Crawford have
decided to defray the greater part of the
expense OF embalming and shipping the
body, and a subscription list will be circu.
lated for the purpose OF raising the bal
ance. The funeral sermon will be preached
at the Mountain View Methodist church,
Sunday evening and the body will probably

As Germany plunges further into the
mad whirl Of protection, the greater be-
comes the distress among the laboring

the error of trying to improve trade by
restricting it; of trying to make people
prosperous by taxing them; of trying to
relieve want and misery by raising the
cost Of the necessaries Of life.
