WINTER LIE IN HELENA,

The average eastern man, it is safe tc
say, has conception of a Helena win
ter that is absolutely grotesque in its
absurdity. He has no personal knowl
edge of the matter. and he allows his
Imagination free rein. He pictures
for himself collection of rattle trap
shacks perched here and there on the
hill-sides. Locomotion is rendered diff
cult by the number Of prospect holes
that yawn every few yards along the So
called streets. The inhabitants are
miners and few storekeepers. So
c!ety, under such circumstances, there
can be none. Amusements or intellec-
tual pursuits arc conspicuously absent.
Tho weather is simply awful in its sever
or thirty degrees below zero for months,
and billiards. rage and storm necessarily.
In the face of such climatic conditions,
to venture out of doors is to risk limbs
and even life itself. Winter life in Hell
ena is one long, dreary blank that no
one, who can escape it, would ever con-
sent to endure.
How different the reality is, those who
have spent the winter season in our city
know. While we have occasional cold
snaps, when the thermometer falls many
degrees below zero, they are of short
continuance. Two or three days cover
their duration at most. But the bright
blue of the sky, the clear, bracing air,
and the sparkling sunshine, that are all
three characteristic of the majority of
our winter days, make it positive
pleasure to be alive. Such days are a
storage battery OF energy and deter
mined purpose. Telegraphic communi-
cation with Helena has never been in
terrupted by the storms of winter, and
New York itself cannot say as much.
From its position midway between
st. Paul and the coast, this city com
hlnnds the very best of theatrical and
operate talent. It is the natural halt
ing place to break the long journey
across the continent. The people of our
city are prompt to take advantage of
these opportunities, and Helena houses
are we'll known as both critical and en-
thusiastic. Next year will see the
drama housed in splendid new temple
of art, and Juch, Modjeska and Emma
Abbott will greet larger audiences than
ever before. This winter will see the
magnificent Broadwater plunge con-
verted into the largest and finest skating
rink in the world, where bright cos
TUNES, charming music and exhilarating
exercise will add another brilliant feat
ure to Helena's numerous amusements
The society of the city can vie in culture
and intelligence with that Of any of the
eastern cities. Physical culture under
the Delsarte and other systems is being
eagerly cultivated by the fair sex, and
every new ism and -ology have their
enthusiastic devotees. Electric light
and electric roads are an essential to our
city life. Charming residences adorn
our streets and avenues. Life for the
dweller in the Queen City Of the Rockies
has in winter time advantages equaled
by those IN few OF the cities of the
union.

engaged in arguing his case before the su-
preme court wherein he was called upon to
meet charges looking to his disbarment as
an attorney, he took occasion to allude to a
former client in severe language, among
other things calling him "Polish Jew"
At this point he was interrupted by Chief
Justice Blake by the remark: MAY be he

AMONG the Coming men" of the
country who have been brought to the
front by the recent elections, no men,
ton has been made of the new leader OF
the republican party in Montana,
Thomas Cicero Power. Carter has been
bowled out and is Of the past; Sanders
as usual, lost nearly every county in
which he made speeches; Mantle let
Silver Bow drop w dull thud;
Hershfield and Seligman, who had
charge of the canvass in Lewis and
Clarke, were whipped out of their boots.
Look at the commodore's record, on
the other hand. "Send me wherever
you WILL" he said to the state commit
tee. And they sent him to Fergus
county. All, there was a royal battle
ground for you! That was something
worth while; domain as big as all out
doors. Not SO denssly peopled as New
York city, but bigger by several thou
sand square miles. And he carried it
too, by humping majority Of nearly
two hundred. Think of it,! A republi-
can majority bigger than that given by
any county in the state, except Park.
Talk about your political pulls--your
men of influence! Why, there isn't a
republican in the state to-day who,when
it comes to showdown on results, can
compare with the man with six-year
grip. He is not six feet tall, nor does he
weigh $50 pounds, and his voice may not
be SO we'll pitched for oratory as Daniel
Webster's, but he has the everlasting
dead cinch on his party in this state now
and henceforth, and when he goes back
to Washington this winter, we wish to
serve plain notice on old Edmunds and
those fellows that the commodore wears
the sovereignty Of the republican party
in Montana under his hat, and they
want to govern themselves accordingly.

AS THEY CAST EN-.
The Voting in Durham Quiet
Affair.
The Liars of the North and West Should
Have Witnessed Ii.
REPORT OF THE coLoRED SCHOOL
Prof. James A. Whitted Makes Report
That Is Very Creditable
to Him.

If there is anything in weather some
party had the edge on the business to-
| day. In the West and North there is a
| dreary tradition that damp, wet day is
good for the democratic party. 1t is
claimed that the democrats, in many
states IN that section being in the minor
| ity, would stem tide and water to vote
The republicans, being in the majority,
feel assured of victory any way, and ac-
| cordingly will not venture out unless the
day is good. The democrats, anxious to
roll up as big majority as possible,
would face even fire to get their ballots
in the box.
Whether there are any traditions of
that kind in this country, this writer does
not know. But he does know that a
grander day was never born. Novem-
Der will never see fairer day than this
election time, provided it continues as it
started and remained up to noon.
The voting at the different polling
places was carried on in quiet manner
there was nothing like we read about in
radical northern papers-in fact the vote
in Durham to-day has been more orderly
and more like the doings of a civilized
community than is very often the case
in the glorious North, with all it's boasted
freedom, and etc.
| THE GLOBE would like to have seen
about two hundred hot-headed radical,
foaming editorial writer's of some of the
big papers which it knows, down here to-
day. 1t would like to have taken them
and stood them by the ballot boxes and
exhibited to them the lies they have writ
ten in past years. The South, when it is
once understood, will be the greatest
country under the sun.
The vote at this place will be full, all
the registered voters going up and cast
ing their ballot for their country's cause
No disturbance of any kind has taken
place, and the best of good feeling
reigns.

CUPID'S PLAY.
He Joins Two Worthy Durham People
for Life To-Day.

On this day, big with fate, when can
didates are in the air, Colonel Cupid
concluded to be candidate himself and
settle the oft disputed question, rs mar
riage failure" Colonel Cupid won.
Mangum street presented brilliant
scene this morning. AT an early hour a
crowd of admiring friends assembled at
the residence of Mr.. W. d. Lunsford, to
witness the marriage of his daughter
Annie to Mr.. ]. S. Long, a popular young
tobacconist and one of the rising young
men of Durham. The floral decorations
were superb, especially the marriage bell
of chrysanthemums, under which the
couple stood during the ceremony, and
the atmosphere within and without was
freighted with sweet prophesies of hope
and joy.
To the brilliant rendering of the we'd
ding march by Miss Lessie Southgate,
the attendants entered the parlor and
took their places in the following order
Miss Maggie Lunsford, Mr.. w. S. Hal
liburton.
Miss Ida Lansdell, Mr.. j. W. Jones.
Miss Sallie Yates, Mr.. ". E. Lunsford.
Miss Maggie Umstead, Mr.. W. r. Israel.
Miss Lille Lock hart, Mr.. w M. Yearly.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
DR.. Yates, who sealed the compact with
the beautiful emblem-the wedding ring
and amid the congratulations of friends
and a shower of old shoes, the pair left
on the $50 a. m train for an extended
tour through the North, taking in Wash
ington, New York, Philadelphia and
other cities.
The bride is a favorite in Durham
society, which she will continue to adorn.
THE GLOBE has no old shoes about the
establishment, but when it has it will re-
member them.

Principal.

-Mangum street was agog this morn
ing. The crowd that gathered around
and about the residence of Mr.. Lunsford,
to catch a glimpse of the bridal party as
they emerged from the door and entered
the carriages, was larger and more en-
thusiastic than that which greeted the
Italians with the big bear few days ago.
As a certain distinguished gentleman
once remarked, it is strange what pro-
pensity people have for attending mar
riages and funerals.

BALLARD & HALLIBURTON SELL THE
LOT TO THE NATIONAL BANK
1t Brings Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars
Front Foot, and New Building
VIII Go Up at Once.

Will Go Up at Once.
When THE GLOBE announced that the
First National Bank had purchased the
corner of Main and Corcoran street for
new bank site, it almost knew what it
was talking about The sale was consul
mated to-day. The lot is 60x100 feet and
the price paid was $15, 900. This is an
indication Of what real estate is worth in
Durham. The bank will at once COM
mence the erection of a $4,000 brick
building, three stories high. There will
be two store rooms in this building,
besides the bank, one fronting on Cor
coran street and one on Main street.
This is one little boom, one substan-
tial structure to take the place of an un-
slightly shell. Let the ball roll.
The lot formerly belonged to Blackwell
& Carr.

TWO BAD MEN.
They Get Drunk at Lexington and Cut
Each Others Throat.

They Get Drunk at Lexington and Cut
Each Others Throat.
Great excitement prevails at Lexing-
ton, this State, on account of cutting
affray that occurred there Saturday even
ing, between Charlie Byarly and Jim
Lindsay, both colored. 1t seems the two
negroes were near the depot, when they
commenced boxing. Lindsay seemed to
get the best of it, whereupon Charley
Byarly drew knife and cut Lindsay's
throat, cutting his neck vein and parti-
ally severing the jugular vein. The
negro is alive yet, but will die. Charlie
Byarly made his escape. The negroes
were both drunk and had been very
noisy on the streets during the day.
Every effort will be made to capture
Byarly.
The spiritual shepherd of the Afro
Methodist Episcopal church at this place,
has evolved a scheme for collecting his
yearly stipend which is both novel and
enterprising. Profting by the success
of the gift entertainment system in other
lines of business, he has concluded to
try it himself, and has placed on exhibi-
ton at the store of the Durham Furni-
ture company, an $18 rocking chair,
which he proposes to give away to the
man selling the largest number of votes,
said votes to be sold at ten cents a piece
and proceeds to go towards the payment
of the pastors salary. If this is not en-
terprise, we would like TO know what
you call it.
Captain Ramsay called this morning
with copy of the election law which
says expressly that no one shall be al
lowed to speak to the voter except the
judges of election, and called our atten-
ton to the fact that some fifty or sixty
fellows were button holeing the man
with the ballot until he let it drop. But
suppose they did The election is about
over now And we shall know each
other better when the returns all come in
