WE are glad to note that the Chamber
Of Commerce building association pro-
poses to move Immediately in the mat
ter Of a new building. There should be
no further delay. A site can never be
purchased to better advantage than
now, and the experience OF the school
district in borrowing 100000 at five per
cent for new buildings demonstrates
that SO solid body financially as the
Chamber of Commerce could borrow
$4,000 to 100000 in the east at rate
so low as to make tn investment in a
building a paying one. 1t will be OF
great advantage to Helena to bring east

THE opera-goer who for years has en-
joyed the bright, sparkling music of Sir
Arthur Sullivan and the ludicrous
whimsicallties of William Gilbert's pc
culiar humor, and who has looked for
ward to many charming successors to
"The Gondoliers," will learn with regret
that the long partnership has been dis
solved, and dissolved in anger. Mr..
D'Oyley Carte, the famous operate
manager, is responsible for the state
ment that on his recent return from In
dia Mr.. Gilbert forcibly objected to GER
tain items in the expense of the produc-
ton of "The Gondoliers," declaring that
Carte was reaping an excessive reward
from his labors and his brains. Sulli-
vad's support Of the managers side OF
the question renders the rupture COM
plete. Mr.. Gilbert, it is stated, has al
ready signed contract of partnership
with Alfred Collier, the musician, and
report has it that they will at once set
to work on comic opera with which to
inaugurate the opening of the Lyric the.
atre under the management of Horace
Ledger. Sullivan will probably collab-
crate with George r. Sims, the "Dago-
net" of the Referee and the author of
many touching stories Of the London
poor. Gilbert, it is added, has declared
his positive refusal to allow any Of the
productions of the new partnership to
appear in America and Carte retorts by
refusing to handle them anywhere.

sion the results of this unfortunate dis

THE STREET BEGGARS.

Helena is Now Harboring Them of All
Shapes and Varieties.
The city is infected with band of street
beggars of every variety. from the dirty lit
tie Italian girl to the man with portable
grind organ and panorama. Blind men,
men who were struck by lightning, Others
who partially lost their sight in a coal mine,
are to be seen on many corners with organs
of these we're here last year
and in the aggregate carried off good deal
of money. They all seem to strike the town
at the same time. The oldest looking sight
of the lot is a comparatively good looking
woman of %, dressed in black. Last year
she wheeled carriage with two babies in it
and had three other youngsters. Juggling
around her. She plays an accordion and
sings, and her object was to convey the
idea of being a widow with all
these children to support. She
made a whole lot of money last
time she was here. This time she has the
which is generally innocently sleeping. The
woman was in the upper portion OF town
yesterday. where the FOUNDERS and gam
blers do most congreRate, and standing in
the street sang such affecting songs as
"a Boys Best Friend is His Mother" and
racket worked pretty we'll, but the crowd
was generally at loss to know why such a
good-ioOking and strong, healthy female
should be around begging. One man said
Yesterday he knew her in Washington ter
rritory, where she ased to wait upon the
table.
In connection with these fakirs it is
stated they are members of syndicate of
about 200. who are managed by woman at
Denver, Col. They send her a certain
percentage of their earnings. and in return
are provided with winter quarters at Den
yer. They club together, and as a rule
have great deal more money than the ma
jority of people who give to them. The
city authorities declare them nuisance
and it is probable they will be ordered out
of town.
