A great treat is in store for our theatre
goers on Tuesday and Wednesday even
ings next at Kingsbury Hall, on which
occasion the renowned comedian support
ed by his talented daughter Idalene, and
their own company of fourteen ladies
and gentlemen. They will produce two
very funny comedy dramas "Irma the
Wait " and ''The Old Home" opening in
the former. They are both full Of roar
ing comedy, and in which all the latest
songs, banjo solos and specialties will be
introduced. They carry their own seen
cry and music. The press wherever they
have appeared speaks of them in the
highest terms. The hall will have a new
stage, scenery and curtain put in, also
plenty Of chairs for those who attend.
Seats are now on sale at Ringwald s. Car

SIGNIFICANT ACTION,

While DIR. Webb and his o-tourists, in
their magnificent Wagner palace train
were side-tracked at Great Falls on Fri
day, the Doctor and other members of his
illustrous party, after visiting the Sand
Coulee coal mines, the great smelter. the
Giant Spring, the falls and other attrac-
tions, they called upon Secretary Webster
OF the townsite company and invested to
the amount of about $4,000 in Great
Falls real estate.
When millionaires such as DR.. Webb

In all their long tour of 10000 miles SO
far, they did not stop any where except
at Great Falls. Here they remained
about one whole day. The air was per-
fectly aromatic, the sun was warm, the
sky unclouded, the trees were putting
forth their living green and nature SEEM
ed really endeavoring to improve upon
herself on their account. Great Falls
never appeared TO better advantage and
it is no marvel that the visitors were
charmed with what they saw here on
Friday.
Leaving Great Falls at precisely four
p. m. over the Manitoba road they will
proceed to St. Paul, thence to Winnipeg,
thence over the Canadian Pacific to Van

journey, via L. P, passing through
Butte, Helena and making another stop
at Great Falls, where the DR.. and some
OF his party expect to meet Pres. j. j.

Sewing and Starving.

SO far as many of the seamstresses
Of New York are concerned, these two
terms are synonymous. We talk of
women getting living by the needle;
the truth is they get their death by it.
The revelations on the subject made
from time to time are enough to make
good man blush for the species to
which he belongs. In New York-a
Christian city-it would seem that
hundreds of employers are engaged in
conspiracy to starve thousands OF
women down to the lowest point of
atrOphy consistent with the use OF
their fingers, and to keep them in that
condition till they die. The sewing
machine, ticking all day long and far
into the night, is the death watch that
heralds their doom. and the merciless
taskmasters for whom they toll are.
to all intcnts and purposes. their execu-
tioneers. Thirty cents per day!-that.
we are informed, is about the average
compensation of the sewing girls in
this rich and prosperous city. Thirty
cents Is given to seamstress for four
teen hours work! and at the same time
the dealers realize from fifty to one
hundred and fifty per cent. on the
manufactured garments; but the poor
slave of the needle gets scarcely
enough to pay for shelter without
warmth. and bread without meat or
butter. IN. Y. Ledper.

Origin Of the Square.

Pliny says that Theodorus. a Greek
of Samos. invented the square and
level, but the square figure is seen in
the represented designs of the tower
of Babel. one of the earliest important
known structures. The city of Baby
lon was a perfect square, and the
bricks used in its buildings and walls
were square; so, probably. were those
in Babel. Now to form small squares
correctly and to introduce them in
endless combination into buildings, it
needed guiding instrument of some
kind. So the square as a constructive
tool came into use. Among the ruins
of Babylon, Nineveh and Petra it is
said to have been represented. There
are pictures and sculptures from the
ruins of TheEes in Egypt showing the
square in the HANDS of the artisan.
