Those of the Masonic Fraternity in Mon
tana Pleasantly Remembered.
The Masonic fraternity of Helena assem-
bled in the temple last night and pro-
gramme of unusual interest was given. At
the last session of the grand lodge of Mon
tana a committee was appointed to present
to all past grand masters some slight token
of appreciation of their services and the
esteem in which they are held by their
brethren of Montana. In the early days of
the order in Montana it had been the GUS
tom at the close of the session of the grand
lodge to present these tokens but i'll 1876
this custom was done away with But in
justice to those who have 80 faithfully
served between the years of 1916 and 1885,
the above committee we're appointed. The
past grand masters serving during the
above period were:
Harry II. Comfy, 1875; j. M. Knight, 1876;
w. A. Clark, 1877: John Stedman, 1873;
Hiram Knowles, 1879; Geo. W. Munroe, 1890;
A. j. Davidson, 1872; S. W. Langhorne, 1884;
Joseph A. Hyde, 1885.
Among the number present of the above
list were, Messrs. Comfy, Clark. Stedman
Knowles, Davidson and Langhorne, who
each in turn responded in eloquent and
feeling speeches to the presentation speech
made by Grand Secretary Hedges.
After the closing of the lodge sumptuous
banquet was served in the banquet hall.

sanfo;n the Derby Winner,

The English derby is of course the great
est turf event each year. 1t is to England
what the Fourth of July is to America, and
1000 people to see the race is only an ev-
eraoe attendance. There Is an interesting
story of this years winnerfound in the
Scotchman as follows: ''Sir James Miller s
success in the derby yesterday is still being
talked of as one of the most remarkable
pieces of good look ever experienced by any

NEW HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL.
A Minnesota Man Who Comes Highly
Recommended.

A Minnesota Man Who Comes Highly
Recommended.
At special meeting of the school board
last Thursday morning, Prof. ). A. Merritt
Of Winona, was unanimously elected prin-
cipal of our high school for the year COM
mencing Sept. l.
Rrof. Merritt has been for a number OF
years principal of the Winona. Mimi, high
school. Through his efforts this school has
been placed in the front ranks OF the high
schools of the northwest.
President Shepard. of the state normal
school of Winona, speaks Of him in the fol-
lowing terms:
prof. Merritt is gentleman OF marked
excellence as teacher, and has been emf
nently successful in his work in this city.
He hes shown unusual ability ii the line OF
science work and has organized the best
laboratory and best science work in any
high school in the state. He has taught
with equal success other branches. He is
an indefatigable worker, and may be de-
pended upon to give his entire time and
thought to his york"
Prof. Wm: F; Phelps, Of St; Paul, LIN in
these words:
''Under his direction the Winona high
school has assumed position equal to the
best in the state and far superior to most:
After careful inspection of this school
and it's equipments am convinced that 1t
is one of the very best in the northwest in
every respect. Evidently it has had the
guidance of master hand OF course, such
| work must necessarily have leader, and
believe this gentleman is to be credited
with the high standard which the school
now enjoys"
The citizen of Helena are to be congratu-
lated that the high school has fallen into
the hands of man of such marked ability
and succe ssful experience. Under the man
agement of Mrs. Cummins and her able as
sstants the school has grown in numbers
and popularity until it is one of the best in
the new west. With the selection of Prof.
Merritt it will undoubtedly continue to
grow in efficiency until it will be unex-
celled.
It is the purpose of the board of trustees
to make the public school facilities of Hell
ena meet every demand that can be reason
ably made upon them. With the strong
corps of teachers selected, the new build,
ings now being erected and the broad
course of study proposed for next year, our
city will offer better opportunities for Sc
curing an education than our own. One Of
the features of the high school work next
year is the business course of two years o.
which will be made in the near future.

In continuation of his custom of giving
the art loving public of Helena rare treats
in foreign paintings, Mr.. August Fack, of
the California Wine House. hung last
night the celebrated German painting by
Kuille, entitled Venus and Tannhauser.'
The canvass is the largest ever stretched in
Helena and represents in touching colors
the famous parting of Venus the Queen OF
Love, and Tannhauser, the minstrel bard
of the Hartz mountains. Heine, in his
poems, and Tieck, in his romances, have
made this legend SO famous that the love
and song of all days have fingered about
the famous couple. The painting is of the
free German school, full of poetic beauty
and fire. and has commanded i'll all parts OF
the United States high praise. The form
and face of Venus is of the ideal type-no
gross nor sensual maid of Athens--and that
of Tannhauser, a rugged troubador of the
woods and mountains. The subject has
been enhanced in beauty by treatment
from the point of view of the Legendary
| school.

THIRD SwEEPSrAKE.
Football Club.

Among the many attractions on the
Fourth of July none will afford more en-
joyment than the football match, which
Jack Wilson has arranged for that evening,
between Helena team and the Granite
Football club. The game will be called at
7 p. nj. prompt. on the new Athletic club
grounds and will last one hour. A practice
game is to be played on Monday evening at
Z p. M, and it is hoped that all football
men will be present, as a team will then be
chosen to uphold the supremacy of Helena.
This will be no easy matter, as the Granite
men are experts at the game and are in
tend on Monday and help Mr.. Wilson in
his endeavor to provide good sport for the
public.

was secured by Al Phelps for $3.50. Last
year it brought $50. For the bar privil-

could not command more than $1,000, and

figure. Last year it brought $4,000 even.
