CLOSE OF THE FAIR,
The b Fair q Thing of the Past
Highly Successful.

Highly Successful.
The Catholic fair for the benefit OF st
Patrick's parochial school came to a hap
Ply and successful close last night and the
ladies who have labored SO long and faith.
fully for it's success are released from their
s~elf.imposed but arduous labors. The fair
was a most unqualified success and those
who managed it's details can view with
pride the result OF their efforts. Although
not known exactly, it is safe to say that
fully $1,000 was realized, q fact which
speaks volumes for the sagacity and
shrewduess in finances of the en- terprisinq
ladies who conceived and carried to a close
the greatest church fair ever held in the
city. .
Articles remaining over from last week
were sold at auction and disposed OF by
raf file and private sale last night, and at
prices which reflected in the highest degree
the libsrality Of the purchasers. The con.
test between G. N. Joyce and Phil Levy,
to decide who was the most popular as q
barber, resulted in a victory for Joyce,
who received 10S votes, and Levy 100.
Shortly after midnight the hall closed and
only dismantled booths and stands with
the recollections OF a busy and happy
week clustered about the place, and served
as mementos OF the great fair.

Long lines OF expectant ladies and i'm

The ladies usually are very deliberate and

The Lilly Group.

Independent: Mr.. c. F. Martin, who is
just in from the Little Blackfoot, reports
favorably on the minisg interests, of that
section. Developments on the Lilly Group
are 81 encouraging, and there is such an
abundance Of ore in sight that the owners
intend to increase the present force OF
men to twenty on the first OF January,
and ship q car load OF ore weekly. It In
thought doubtful il any mine in the state
has shown to better advantage with in
crease OF depth. The surface groupings
were no more than ordinary, and at 70
feet there was scarcely a sign Of ore, but at
80 feet abig strike Of high grade galena
ore was encountered, which has proven to
be Of great extent. The strike is a good
thing for the camp, and has greatly en-.
couraged others owning property there.

A Minister on the Recent Prize Fight-His
Opinion of such Matters.

Opinion Of Such Matters.
Rev. e. J. Groeneveld, pastor Of the
Presbyterian church, took for the subject
OF his sermon Sunday evening, "Ths Late
Prize Fight" Unlike the majority OF min.
listers who are theoretical and not practi-
cal, the reverend gentleman discussed his
topic logically and ~intellisently. He has
evidently seen the rough and repulsive side
| OF life and has familiarized himself with it's
anomalous phases. This is not to his
detriment, bu. rather q credit to his obser.
walton and practicability. "Ons half the
world does not know how the other half
lives" 10 q trite and practical proverb.
The reverend gentleman handled his sub.
ject without gloves and in commenting
upon it's varying phases, remarked that it
was not singular but rather o
logical sequence that most OF those
who participated in the brutal affair were
men whose fine sensibilities had been dulled
by long association with the saloon busi-
The ascendency that these classes have
gained in Butte, he said, was evidenced b.
the reluctance OF the officers, both county
and city, to interfere and prevent the fight.
He asserted that knowledge that the fight
was impending, was known to the officials
two days prior to it's occurrence, but fear
ing the weight Of political influence s.llt ged
to be welded by the saloon men and gam
blers, the officers reirained from ~interfer.

against victory. The sermon was listened
