iT NEVER HAPPENED.

The Butte Inter Mountain would
lind il difficult to produce the proofs
in support of a little story recited yes
terday in its columns. Referring to
the bitter feeling that was aroused by
the October election and the senatorial
contest, the Inter Mountain adds:
Yet In the midst OF all this excitement and
elimination and recrimination the news came
nom Washington one day that sam Hanser,
". A. Clark, Colonel sanders. Marcus Daly and
+. &. Power had only the night before given
themselves n banquet AT a leading hotel, and had
a glorious old time together.
The story recited by the Inter
Mountain may have come from Wash
ington, but il did not tell the truth.
There was any manifestation of
fraternity such "a our republican con-
temporary describes. There was a
meeting, however, i'm Washington ut
which chance happened to bring to-
gether four of these gentlemen, and
Major Maginnis was present In the
room. II was rather a significant
meeting, for reasons which were given
in the STANDARD four weeks ago.
Colonel Sanders presumed to be very
cordial with one member of the party
regarding whom the comments made
by Sanders had been worse than sour
rilous. He was very distinctly snubbed,
as he has been snubbed once and again
both by republicans and democrats in
Washington.
There was no love-feast affair i'm
Washington with the gentleman named
by the Inter Mountain us the partici-
pants. These gentlemen were not
proposing toasts and drinking wine at
the same table" and the story 10 that
effect that circulated in Montana for a
time never rested On any fact. As a
rule, men may differ in politics and yet
conduct themselves in n manner that
permits cordial relations in social life.
But in instances these relations
have lately become strained in
some of Montana's political cir
cles for the plain reason that
a good many democrats have the
conviction that ~grievous wrong has
been done. To put il in exact terms,
they regard Sanders as a political out
cast. Entertaining that feeling, some of
them cannot adjust themselves TO any
sort of social relations with him that
have the semblance of cordiality.
The Inter Mountains remarks on
this point are of small account, of
course, and require no words except
those needed to say that u Butte con-
temporary may be SURF that its toast
and wine and cordially story is wrong
from end to end.

cAPRrWs AGENTS OF CIVILIZATION

MI SoNNio W
Among many other places on the
worlds surface, civilization appears To
be lamen;ably backward on the plains
Of Colorado. The Colorado cowboys,
although more advanced in many re-
spects than the sayages of interior
Africa, particularly as regards the use
of clothes, guns and cocktails, are still
cropping IN that moral and intellectual
darkness which Chancellor Caprivi has
Just proposed to Danish from the face
of Ethiopia through those twin agents
of progress, bullets and bibles. Exper.
fence has shown that i'm Colorado at
least il is useless to try to force civili-
zation. The conditions are such on
the plains that the process of develop.
ment there is slow. Between the
stone tomahawk and the photograph
exists a great gulf. and the savage
mind cannot leap it nj a bound. A few
wears ago, IL will be remembered, the
Indians Of the plains, misled by false
premises in an a priori curse of reas.
oning. undertook TO subdue the Union
Pacific trains by lassoing the smoke
stacks Of the locomotives on precisely
the same principle that for centuries
they had overpowered buffaloes.
The cowboy is something of an i'm
provement on the Indian i'm the scale
of civilization, but il appears that his
brain works very much on the same
general system. The striking similar
ity in the intellectual processes Of the
two has perhaps never been more finely
exhibited than i'm the circumstances
surrounding the strange case of Walter
Perkins, Of Denver. In company with
three other young men last sunday
morning, Mr.. Perkins mounted his bi.
cycle TO take a run into Platte canyon.
The party had proceeded several miles
from home when "A band of
fierce and terrible cowboys rode
up and eyed them and their
mysterious vehicles with every sign Of
suspicion and ~displeasure. The band
made no effort Ia attack the bicyclists
at this time, but retreated some little
distance to deliberate and drink.

He Didn't Know Mr.. Choate.

Columbian law school men are jubilant
over the good showing made by their
classmen i'm the McCalla court-martial,
now in progress in New York. Perry
Garst, n member of the senior class, Is
Judge advocate, and is assisted by w. II.
Stayton of the postgraduate class. Garst
was Judge advocate of the court of inquiry
which preceded the court-martial, and
when ordered to New York to represent

full ignorance of the fact that opposed
TO him would be the great legal luminary,
Choate, of b firm of Evarts. Choate 4
Beaman. During the first days proceed
ing Garst, thinking that he knew n good
deal more naval law than the gentleman
who appeared on behalf of Commander
McCalla, gave a few points to his oppo-
nent in a patronizing way, interrupted
him, hectored him q bit, and when the
court adjourned for the day vent aboard
ship with n feeling that he had done his
duty. One of his shipmates that night
remarked casually to Garst that he didn't
seem much afraid of Mr.. Choate.
'Choate! Choater' said Garst tremu-
lously. 1.-THE great Choate. Good heavens,
j didn't know hat was Choate." He had
two chills that night.
Stayton is a very bright man aud took
first honors in his class last year, but it
was hardly to be expected that he would
develop so rapidly into q practical court
room lawyer. He isn't at all afraid of the
great Choate, and when the latter at
tempted i'm the cross-cxamination of a
witness to GO hey ond the scope of the di-
rect examination Stayton promptly and
decidedly objected. Mr.. Choate looked

years. practice he had never heard of any
rule of evidence preventing such a course
of inquiry. Stayton remarked hat IL was
high time for Mr.. Choate to learn that
such a rule existed and produced Green
leaf. The court thought SO too, N Mr..
Choate was directed to confine himself to
h direct examination.
Mr.. .Choate, rather piqued at being
hoored i'm this un~cerenonious way by a
law student, called one OF his witnesses to
the stand and inquired sarcastically
whether he would be allowed to show the
character of his witness. Quick as n flash
Stayton replied: "Certainly, certainly,
Mr.. Choate, you may show that h only
roof YOU witness ever had over his head
was the roof of the ~penitentiary." Mr..
Stayton is now a lieutenant i'm the navy,
but will resign about the first Of July and
practice admiralty law i'm New York.

REMARKABLE LAPSE.

Some of the newspapers are disposed
to be rather iiippant, il not altogether
unjust, I'm their comments regarding
ex-senator Jones of Florida, whose
career, once remarkable for its bril-
liancy, has led him the life of a vaga-
bond for two or three years and landed
him at length I'm an insane asylum.
People who knew this unfortunate
man when his mental faculties were at
balance, will not withhold admiration
for his splendid gifts. lie lacked early
training, and there, perhaps, is the
fatal failing. He was a lawyer of ex-
cellent reputation and he developed
remarkable aptness in politics. lie
walked straightway into the national
senate without previous experience of
much account i'm any Legislative bodies.
Ills advance was so rapid that plenty
of people deemed him ont of place and
predicted failure. lie disappointed all
these, for, i'm spite of all that has since
befallen him, Senator Jones ranked
with the federal senate's strongest and
best men
II is not easy to account for the men,
tai lapse that sent the senator to his
destruction. All that is known to the
world about il is that, while in Detroit.
he fell ~hopelessly in love with a young
lady who, from the first. rejected his
suit. His remarkable passion was
something about which he took the
whole world into his confidence. IL
made a fool of him, and, in some unac-
countable way. he was left entirely to
himself. Ills erratic conduct found
him at length without IA dollar and the
time came when this gifted man, twice
elected to the United States senate, was
glad TO eat the bread of charity.
II is a remarkable case. But for his
mad infatuation this man would
doubtless rank to-day among the con
spicuous figures in American politics.
lie was broad, brilliant and liberal, and
at the period i'm his life when first his
reason was dethroned, he was among
the most promising among the men in
this country who seemed destined for
a brilliant career in national politics.
His ease excites u%nfeigned sympathy
with all who knew him.

gives a very strong and dramatic per-

second act is very effective. 1t de-
picts the exterior OF the barracks at
night, and the swiftly flowing Insla-

the imprisonedhero makes a desperate
leap for liberty. In the fourth act the
heroine is thrown into the whirlpool
of the Inslavogue Fall, from which
she is rescued by a most daring and

Ladies', Visiting Cards.

In visiting cards changes in size,
shape andthiekness are comparatively
slight and of infrequent occurrence.
A lady's card should be of moderate
dimensions, about 81 by % inches.
Large or very small sizes are not in
good taste. The pasteboard should
be of good quality and only moderate
thickness, and of q pure white OF deli
cate cream tint; no color is admissible,
and n gilt edge is the height of vul-
garity. The most elegant card is, of
course, engraved; written Ones come
next, while those which are printed
must be classed with the gilt edge.
Even where the question of expense
is to be considered, an engraved plate
Is better than printing, for allowing
the greater original cost, the cards
will always be uniform in quality and
the plate will last as long as needed.
OF late years these plates are to be
had at a very small price, and the
striking off Of the cards costs but lit
tie. If a written card be used, and
our own handwriting is not equal to
the requirements, have them done in
a bold but natural style, eschewing
the work of the imitator of copper
plate, as wen as the iourishes of the
writing master.
Circumstances alter the arrange
ment of the name. Good Housekeeping
which is authority for the above. says:
"A married lady whose husband is
living should make use OF his, as Mrs.
James Richmond II, on the contrary,
she is q widow, her card may read,
Mrs. Mary. Richmond, though many
widows object to the last method and
keep to the first form. Ii the lady is
the only person in the society Of a
small place who bears her name, or II
she is the acknowledged head of her
family, she may use Mrs. Richmond
alone. The Oldest daughter of the
house will have simply Miss Rich
mond' upon her card, thus si~gnifying
that she is the oldest, while her sisters
will have Miss Alice Richmond and
Miss Laura Richmond instead.
Some young girls affect an ultra sim
plicity and use the name without
Miss this is never elegant, and Its
