moral and intellectual status which makes
people desirabletin any community. One

others less. As result We have nice
church corner of Fifth and HobacS streets.

Closing Time Near at Hand-Supt. Young
Re- Elected-Other Notes.
The closing of the school year is near at
hand and the small boy is looking forward
with eagerness to May %, when vacation
begins. A class of two will graduate this
year upon closing day, but it is expected to
have much larger class next year. The
commencement exercises will be held in st.
Pauls Nj. Il. church. The classes are all
entering upon reviews preparatory to final
examinations for promotions.
The superintendent is busily engaged
upon his annual report, together with a cat
alogue and course of study. which will be a
pamphlet of sixty or more pages, contain
ing much valuable information. Also five
cuts of the three largest buildings now in
use i'll Helena and the three buildings IN
contemplation of erection this summer.
| Supt. Young has been reelected for two
years by the school board. who are to be
congratulated upon their choice. as Mr..
Young is very popular. and during his

The superintendent is now formulating
plans for more systematic and efficient work
for the next schoolyear.

The Fisk Jubilee Singers.

The Los Angeles Tribune says of the
Fisk Jubilee Singers:
"a large and very appreciatiye audience
last evening heartily enjoyed the first con-
cert ever given i'll this city by the original
Fisk Jubilee Singers. The music produced
by these trained singers is unique and about
as unlike the music of the modern opera
troupe as could well be imagined. The
strong point presented by the sable artists
is the wonderful melody of their we'll
trained voices. This is really marvellous,
and taken with the quaint. original, soul
stirring character of their songs. it gives
them power to charm their audiences as
few local combinations can. Every mum
Der elected a perfect storm of applause.
They will appear in this city on the even
ings of May IL and 16.

expected to be present. Quite number
of PERSONS have moved to Helena in the last
wear and some have attached themselves to
the church. l might mention Miss Mary
Bright and Mrs. F. NJ. Williams. The last
named lady. from st. Paul. is considered
the finest choir organizer this side of Chi
cago among our people; and when we con-
slider the musical talent already among US,
led by Prof. Z. &. Cole, the prospect for
bright future for our society is encouraging.
The board of trustees have done US good
service and deserve special mention. Last
fall our membership was six: it Is now
twenty-one. Incidental expenses have
been paid and the trustees have 500 IN the
bank.

A FINE LECTURE.
Colonel WoodfOrd Speaks to An Interested
Audience.

Colonel NOOulOFu SpcaNe " <An AAAo0ASSSS~~
Audience.
Col, Woodford delivered the first of
series of temperance lectures at st. PauPs
M. E. church last evening. His earnest
eloouence held the close attention of an in
terested audience. He is an easy speaker
and is thoroughly familiar with the subject
of temperance. Among other things he
said
81 believe in prohibition. 1t can't come
to soon nor be too absolute for me. don't
believe in speeding prohibition SO that we
have no time to reach out hand and help
the drunkard. l believe that gospel tenn
perance appeals to heart and brain which
cemented by prayer should be III the solid
masonry of legislation. The true secret of
soul saying is soul loving. If we wish to
reach man for good the first thing to 90
is to become the mans friend. When we
get above saving men our own individual
whims don't seem to be of much account.
1t has been we'll said that what this world
needs for the solution of social problems is
a larger and more divine exemplltication of
Christianity. There is not an interest
moral, social or financial that does not
find its most dangerous, If not fatal
enemy in the liquor traffic. Absolutely
nothing can be done by any man for the
temperance cause without absolute alb
stinence.
There is wonderful difference between
''come along'' and go along in the work of
helping men. 1t is wonderful how a glass
of wine will warp and twist ones mind on
temperance. insist that abstinence is alb
solutely necessary. Moderate drinking pre-.
vents personal appeal, and the isolation OF
spirit is the terrible thing to bear. Fonl
years ago made resolution to speak tC
every drunken man / met, and that resolu
ton has brought thy greatest JOY. YOU
show me man who has never made mis-
take and will show you goody-good,
man who is no good on earth. The onl.
mistake he ever IN .de was to be born. Ar
we helping to do this work of reform
Every one of us can do something. Their
is a power in that touch and shake of tn
hand, and surely all of us can do that"

AMONG THE POLICE.
Yesterdays Roundup of Civil and Crimi-
nal DOings.

Yesterdays Roundup of Civil and Crimi-
nal Doings.
Judge Sanders yesterday gave decision
favorable to the McNulty sisters in their
suit for damages against Frank kenck, but
instead of giving a verdict of $50, granted
$50 and costs, which will amount to 800.
The verdict was for eight days-from the
time of the commencement of the suit to
the day of trial. 1t is probable that an ap-
peal will be taken if a compromise is not
effected.
H. H. Mccarthy and John Mari were ar
restey yesterday for breaking into box car
on the Michigan Central. They got into
the car near the town of Cascade. Conduc-
tor p. j. Cornell saw them break into the
car and locked them in, where they re
manned until the train backed into Helena,
when two officers were there to receive
them. The car was filled with canned
goods and the prisoners helped themselves
while coming to Helena.
John Holsberg was arrested yesterday on
suspicion of being the man who attempted
to rob a woman in the Montana Central
passenger train of her pocketbook. While
Holsberg comes pretty near answering the
description of the thief, he is not the man.
Mr.. Holsberg is of dark complexion, while
the pickpocket was blonde. The only
corresponding features are size, build and
clothes. Holsberg was released on bail
and Mrs. Thibodean, the woman who came
near losing $500 has been sent for to Great
Falls to identify Holsberg. The latter
conducts pawn shop for his brother and
says he was at his place all day and never
went near the Montana Central depot.
Each of the new policemen succeeded in
making an arrest on their first day. The
new officers have not yet secured uniforms
but they are good looking lot. McGill is
the tallest and looks like lamp-post {
block off, but he is also the best looking
Callahan is big fellow and Baker is tai
and stout, and his temper is said to be tina
of an angel-when he is asleep.
Minnie Clay. who was arrested for keep
ing house of ill-fame, was fined 800 yes
terday. The real charge against her wa

the Spirit of God.' In this sanctliicatlon
