DISGUSTING BEGGARS.
The Most Disagreeable Features of Travel
In Oriental Countries.

The most disgusting beggars in tho
world are lepers, and one is glad to pay
them to keep them away from him. In
crossing the Plains of Sharon to Jerusa-
lem was besieged by a half-dozen leper
women, who reached out to me their de-
caying stumps OF hands and called to me
in the language OF Palestine. threw
them lot of copper to get rid OF them
In going up the steps TO the platform
upon which stands the Golden Pagoda at
Rangoon, in Bnrmah, had to go through
double file of lepers, each of which
had little tin pan in front OF him,
and all of whom turned up their
hleared eyes at me with beseeoh-
ing exclamation as | passed. saw
some lepers in Japan, and l heard
great deal at Canton about village of
lepers just outside of that city. These
Chinese lepers are the worst Of their
kind, and they subsist largely on the
food which tho Chinese leave on the
graves of their ancestors. They are not,
think, permitted to come into the city.
There are number of leper asylums in
China. There are leper boats which go
from one place TO another asking aims
OF the other boats on the rivers, and the
sailors are glad to give to them to get
rid OF them. Leprosy is so contagious
that the man who touches tho leper is
sure to get the leprosy, and the disease
Is one OF the most horrible known TO
man. OF all the lepers ] saw the Chi
nese were the most CHASTITY and the most
disgusting, and would rather sleep all
night In smallpox hospital than be
struck with the breath OF Chinese

HERE is A SCHEME
TO Raise Funds for Public Library
Building.
A Suggestion That the Military
Companies. Pastime Athletic
Club and Library Com
mittee Combine.

special CORRESPONDENCE Of the standard.
BUTTE.July M.-Although not much has
beer heard on the subject lately. the MEM
bers of the different military companies Of
the city have not yet given up the idea Of
building an armory. A member of one Of
the companies was discussing the propo-
sition to-day and advanced n new and
seemingly feasible plan to bring
about "a consumation Of the much desired
project.
His idea was 10 get mp n joint building
association composed Of the militia COM
panies, public library and Pastime Attn
letic club. He thought hat by a union Of
these three organizations money could be
easily raised to buy q lot and
erect a suitable building. The gentleman
referred to said that IT would not be alb
solutely necessary to Ia money enough
To purchase ground and complete the
building. All that would he required
would he To secure the ground after
which IL would be an easy matter to erect
a building. As a good location he sug-
gested the old pavilion, which not only
possessed the advantage of being situated
In q good locality, but also possessed the
additional advantage of containing a suf-
ficicnt area. Should such a course be
pursued the gentleman suggested that a
three story building be erected. One of
the two upper floors could he utilized as
an armory and drill room by the soldiers
aud the other by the library
and athletic club. The ground floor
would he fitted up as stores and could be
rented for mere han the amount OF the
interest on the investment.
The Pavilion was last night bought by
the Cobbans, and il is understood that
they will not build on IL at present, nut
are willing to sell on receipt of a good
price. The property is held at 500 per
front foot for the 40 feet on the corner,
and a slightly lower price for the % feet
adjoining il on Granite. The price paid
by the Cobbans was S2S,0OO.

How the COMMITTEES are Prosrss~!.g with
Their Work.
special Correspondence Of the Standard.
BUTTE, July M.-The matter of raising
the $4,000 needed for q library in Butte
is progressing slowly. Some Of the ward
committees have not yet begun soliciting
and cannot do 80 until after August 1,
The committee In the Sixth ward has
nearly completed its work and has raised
more than 500.
There Is considerable speculation a. TO
where the $1,000 Is TO come from which is
offered by w. w. Dixon la behalf of an
unknown party. The supposition is that
il Is offered In behalf of the Davis estate.
Ii Is well known that IL was the wish and
intention of the late Judge Davis to do
nate enough money for the establishment
Of a hospital or library, and II Is supposed
tina. in consideration Of the judges inten-
ton, the heirs have advanced this sum
for a public library in Butte.
The Pastime Athletic club today ex-
pressed its readiness to repeat for the
benefit OF the library fund, the entertain
ment which was given Monday night at
the opera house. The club proposes to
place the management OF the affair in the
hands of the library committee and will
merely donate their services. Many citi-
zens have expressed their regret that they
did not see the athletic clubs entertain
ment, through lack of proper advertising.
and IL is believed the house could be filled
without difficulty. II is proposed To add
several features To the entertainment,
such as singing and recitations by local
talent. The athletic club will give the en-
tire receipts to the fund. The orchestra
would probably contribute its services and
the opera house would be let nj a reduced
rate at least. The library committee will
probably accept the generous offer OF the
pastimes.

The snow.hoe Copper Find.

Frank NJ. Durfec, one OF the owners of
The First Chance copper properties, To-
Gated in Snowshoc gulch, about eight
miles from Avon, received n letter this
week from j. ID. Rhoades, shis partner, re-
g~arding the property, says the Philips
burg Mail. Mr.. Rhoadcs says that they
have been prospecting the lodges ever
since he left the Burg, and that they now
have the hanging wall to the big copper
ledge. ID Is probably from 10 To 100 feet
wide. They are down about IL feet On the
hanging wall, and the ledge y q to
have a pitch of abou 10 or 20 degrees
nearly perpendicular. IL is coming in full
or pyrites of copper and looks like the
mineral in the Jennie claim. IL appears
as though they were just on top of the i'm
mense ledge. Water is coming into some
OF the shafts. They nave run three large
cuts, one tunnel and cut about 20 or sixty
feet, sunk one shaft u feet deep with a
windlass-but this one is N the hanging
wall. They have opened up the ledge in
the tunnel. Ii il from Is to 10 feet vide
solid, porous iron rock, and has about the
same pitch of the big ledge. They think
the tunne they started first will cut il IN
from 80 90 20 feet more. The lodges are
developed so that there is no chance for
dispute or guess work.. They claim TO be
able to commence shipping ore now and
that they will nave lots OF IL in sight IN 40
days. Prospectors in the vicinity think
that these mines aud lodges are the big
gest things that have been discovered IN
the Northwest for years.
