French artistic taste Is prOverbial all over
the world, and no prettier combinations of
colors and groupings have been seen in this
city than were presented in the pavilion.
1t was draped all round with tri-colored
bunting, French and American flags and
shields, garlands of laurels and other ever
greens and flowers. lnterspersed in strik-
ing positions were shields bearing the pic
lures and names of all the leading patriots
of the French Revolution.
Especial attention had been given to the
stage. From the front hung two immense
flags, one American, the other French, and
was a large medallion of the French Pres-
dent, Carnot. The footlights were filled
three feet high with ported palms. A dark
hued background brought into brilliant re-
lief the uniforms of the officers and the
numerous flags of the different military

AN ANCESTRAL PETTICOAT.
a Wonderful Work Wrought by Fingers
Tint Turned Dust 80 Yenra Ago.

That Turned to Dust so Years Ago.
A marvellous example of old-time needle
work has found its way into one of the ex-
changes for women's work in this city
through the impecuniousness of the family
in which it has long been cherished as an
heirloom.
1t is piece of the quilted work which has
become one of the lost arts in these days,
and was the border Of pettlcoat worn by
some richly clad German dame 100 years
aao. The strip is half a yard In width and
about three yards in length. 1t consists of
two thicknesses of fine white cotton with
soft interlining. 1t is quilted all over with
an exquisite medley of flowers, foliage and
arabesques, into which is wrought every
variety of . stitch known to expert nee
dlecraft. In those days there were no other
ornaments nor any devices for stamping.
The patient fingers that fashioned such
work also made their own designs, drew
them with needle, free-hand, as they went
along, and so this petticoat- border was the
work of an artist as we'll as clever needle

and snatches of French songs. Gayly
dressed zouaves paraded their bright attire
beside the sober uniforms of the National
Guardsmen. Black eyes looked mischiev
ously from under long lashes; young bloods
sported their canes and chatted with all the
pretty ones they could, and staid husbands
and wives walked arm in arm down the
cool lanes.
At 10 O'Clock the dancing-foor was cleared
and Floor Manager Leon Deunery, with
his two assistants and twelve aids, started
the dancing, which was kept up until well
toward morning. The two assistants were
C. Amedee and j. B. Pom. The names OF

into The talents Of Mr.. NJ. b. Curtis by Messrs.
henry Doblln and Charles Dickson, was pre-
scented for the first time in this city, The critics
in some OF the Eastern cities have not
taken kindly to the play. There are, In
our mind, Objectionable features In IL
that must initiate against Its success. The
co-authors have taken as material for
their work the race.hatred that in byg0ne
ages existed between Jews and Christians. We
have the son of a wealthy Hebrew clothier mar

banker. The subsequent disclosure OF the sons

faithful TO his religious tenets. disowning
his offspring. Then comes the dangerous

We have also the bankruptcy OF the Christian
banker, brought about by his too near relation
with heartIess adventures. The play is weak
In parts, and in the hands of an Infer Tor company
would be failure. Mr.. Nj. b. Curtis made
pronounced success in the pant OF Meyer
Petowsky, the Shatchen. His acting, dialect
and byplay were excellent, and his efforts were
greatly appreciated by The audience. He re.
peats his success Of Sam'l OF Poscn" In The
Shatchen."
Mr.Frank MOrdaunt, who met with hearty re-
ception, made splendid play with the character
of Joseph Lewis, the Hebrew clother. In the
scene in the second act, when he curses his son,
his acting was very powerful, and he was
favored with curtain call. He also did
some fine work In the last act. Mr..
Charles Dick son played the fight comedy part
Of Jacs Ransome very pleasngy. Miss Laura

Before.

or Moro.

The tax levy for state purposes in Mon
tana this year will be two mills on the dol
lar. This is the rate that has been in force
for several years. The Fifteenth territorial
Legislature fixed it at that and the Six
teenth made no change. The first legisla-
ture under state government did nothing
with the levy, 90 the state board of equall-
cation has just decided that it must remain
at two mills. The question came up IN
this way. In the state constitution OF
Montana it was provided that the levy
should not exceed three mills on the dol
lar. As the first state legislature had done
nothing towards fixing the rate, many OF
the county commissioner throughout
Montana were uncertain what to do. They
thought that the organization Of Montana
as q state rendered valueless all
legislation affecting taxes enacted
under territorial rule and as
the constitution fixed q limit at three
mills, they we're under the impression that
that should be the rate. Numerous enqulr-
les were sent to the state board Of equali-
cation, asking for information on the sub
iect. The board met on Saturday and con-
sidered the matter. It was evident that the
state constitution only meant to fix max
lmum, and that as no change had been
made in the rate since the fifteenth terri
torial legislature it must remain at that fig-
ure. It is calculated that the assessment
throughout the state will aggregate $11O.-
OOO, OOO, with the levy at two mills the state
will receive $4,000 in taxes. To this will
have to be added about $125, 900 the states
proportion OF license fees. With other re-
ceipts the aggregate may reach $35O,00O OF
$3.50 900. The expenditures are estimated
at 1876, 600, so there will be deficit.

Hon. Marcus DAILY was looking very we'll
and was in excellent spirits last evening
when seen at tho Broadwater. His health
is completely restored and his eyes are quite
as good as ever, though he wears glasses.
As usual he ID earnest and enthusiastic for
the success Of the democratic ticket. He
talked freely about candidates and various
phases Of the political situation. Mr.. DAILY
says that Carter's strength Is greatly over
estimated BY his party and that he will
certainly be defeated il the democrats,
nominate good man and conduct an 40
tive. vigorous and aggressive campaign.
Mr.. DAILY says that he does not think Judge
Dixon will except the nomination. John
r. Toole for several excellent reasons will
not accept it. He thinks the nomination will
60 to either WIN. Bickford OF Robt. B.Smith
and he is inclined to look with good deal
Of favor on the candidacy Of the Helena
man. Mr.. DAILY says that the talk Of east
side and west side factions is nonsense.
The only sensible way il to choose the
strongest candidate regardless of locality.
The west siders have not the slightest feel
ing against the choice of an east side or
Helena man and moreover, personally he
says he is willing to let Helena have the
capital if she wants it. ss
