TOM CRUISES CAREER.

A Story that illustrates the Ups and
Downs of Western Life.
[From the Chicago Times.]
The history of the millionaire
banker of Helena, Mon, Thomas Cruise, il
Illustrates the ups and downs of western
life and sets in strong contrast the two ex-
tremes of absolutes, groveling poverty and
extraordinary affluence.
''Six years ago Tom Cruse," says Thorn
as M. Long, "was only common, ordina-
ry laborer, prospector and miner. He
had spent almost his last nickel, was out

as he turned an honest dollar. One day he
took tramp into the mountains. When
he came back to town he surprised every,
body by reporting the discovery of what
has since turned out to be one of the rich
est silver mines in Montana. He pre-emp-
ted the place and made everything solid in
his own name. This mine was the famous
Maysyille, twenty-one miles from Helena.
A syndicate of capitalists, hearing of his
great find, went out to investigate it. The
result far surpassed even their expectations
and on their way back to town they sought
old man Cruise. Would he sell the mine. {?
Yes. How much! Five hundred thous-
and dollars spot cash. That was too much
they thought. We'll, gentleman, if you
think that is too much don't take it, said
Cruise. This offer is good until noon, but
no longer. I'll have another price on it
after that They thought he was bluffing.
The next day after further investigation,
they came back to Cruise. They told the

Cruise. Of course there was no deal posi-

strike ofOuarrvmen.

LEErEs ISLAND, Aug. 28.-There is a
strike among the quarrymen employed at
John Beatties', Leetes Island quarry, and
at the present time over 500 men are out.
The strike went into effect on the eighth
day of this present month. The strike
embraces all the men employed in the
quarry, stone cutters, drillers, derrick
men and laborers. The stone cutters are
on strike for nine hours day, instead of
ten hours, which they worked before they
went on strike, and the drillers, derrick
men and laborers are striking to obtain q
uniform price for their work. They want
twenty cents an hour for every hour they
work. The men previous to the strike
were paid according to the work
they performed Some of them
have been able to earn from So to SO. so a
day. Others have not been able to earn as
much, hence the strike. A large part of
the men in the quarry are Firms and Ital-
ians, with goodly number Of Swedes,
who are very poor quarrymen and whose
principal work is to haul heavy chains
Mr. Beattie is at present in Scotland for
his health. His business is in the hands
Of men who say that they will not give in
to the strikers under any conditions.
Work at the quarry is completely at q
standstill. Not man is working, and the
company is losing money rapidly, as they
have several large contracts on hand. The
firm is the largest quarry company in New
England, and control territory of several
square miles.

The Monument to be Dedicated With
Appropriate Ceremonies September
lO-DescriptiOn OF the Monument.
The beautiful soldiers monument which
has recently been erected in Oak Grove
cemetery, West Haven, as. tribute of
honor to the soldiers and sailors of the
town who fought and died in the late war,
will be dedicated with appropriate ceremo-
MES on Wednesday, September 10. The
monument stands at the farther end of
Central avenue, in little plot of ground
at the junction of Summer street and ave-
nues M and N Mid the shadows and
light of pine-shaded plots and against the
dark background of the grove in the little
vale at the farther end of the cemetery it
raises it's modest but comedy form, with
the arms of the United States raised on
rich bronze plate glistening on the face of
the shaft. The granite column measures
fourteen feet in height with base five
feet square. The design is simple but
effective, and beneath the bronze plate on
| the side are the words of simple dedication,
| "To Our Soldiers and Sailors"
| The design of the monuUnnt was the
work Of William E. Augur Of West Haven,
| who is member of the Veterans Memo
rial association of that place. The town of
| West Haven contributed the sum of $500
| toward the erection of the monument, and
| the balance was raised by the Memorial
association. The snm of $500 was expend-
| ed for the monument, and it was placed in
position about week ago.
The association held a meeting on Au-
| rr,,of 81 which active stapa we taken To
prepare for the proper dedication OF the
monument. 1t was decided to have the
ceremonies take place on September 10,
and the following committees were selected
| to complete all arrangements.
Committee on invitations-Williafn A.
Peck, ir, Nathan Hale, w. L. G. Pritch-
ard.
Committee on program-W.L.G Pritch-
ard, w. E. Augur, E. Mansfield.

gins, W. A. Peck, jr., W. L. q. Pritchard
Committee on observation-disclosures

Committee on music-Frank Hurlburt

w. L. g. Pritchard was chosen as the
marshal of the day and Henry G. Higgins
president of the West Haven Veterans
Memorial association, was made the master
| of ceremonies.
The various committees will report a
the next meeting of the association, Sep
tember 1, when definite arrangements viii
| be made known. 1t is, however, known
| now that the exercises will occur during
the afternoon of Wednesday, October 10
and will consist of parade, an Grafton
and impressive services of dedication q
the monument. Admiral Foote post ant
, other Grand Army posts, also the Sons o
Veterans, have been invited to be presen
and take part in the exercises. The visit

liberal response will undoubtedly be me

of the soldiers monument will be ere

SAVE THE SEQUOIAS.
Let Our Grand Arb0real Monuments
Live I'm Peace and Safety.
From the Denver Republican,


From the Denver Republican,
Governor Waterman of California some
time ago telegraphed to Mr.. Noble, secre-
tary of the interior, asking him to refuse
to allow anybody to acquire title to the
land on which the mammoth trees of Cali
fornia stand. 1t appears there are some
people trying to get possession of that land
with view to cutting the trees down and
saving them into lnmber.
The wish of the California people is that
the government withdraw the sequoia
groves or forests from sale or entry and
preserve them in national park. If they
should not be set apart as national park,
they should be turned over to the state of
California in order that it may preserve
them. This is a reasonable request. 1t is
one on which the government should act
favorably.
There are two groves of these giant trees
in California. One is the mammoth grove
of Calaveras, and the other is the famous
Mariposa grove. The trees found growing
in these groves are the only giant specimens
in existence They constitute the most
wonderful vegetable products in the world
The Calaveras grove was discovered in
1850 or 1852, and some of its trees are as
much as 800 feet in height. In the Mari
posa grove there are still larger trees. One
of the later measures 101 feet around
the root Some of them are estimated to
be as much as 5000 years old A writer
describing them says: "They appear to be
the remains of extensive woods belonging
to past epoch"
1t would be an outrage to be condemned
by the whole civilized world if any one
should be allowed to destroy these trees.
The idea of cutting them down for the pur-
pose of making lumber of them is abhor-
rent. The government ought to set them
apart as forests to be preserved forever
from destruction. The first step in doing
this is to withdraw the land on which they
stand from the operation of the land laws
Nobody should be allowed to enter single
acre on which a sequoia stands Then a
liberal provision should be made to protect
them against fire, and roads should be built
through the forest for the convenience of
visitors

good work by the aid of the incandescent

the quiet of the streets by night has a
soothing effect on the nerves, which are
not SO sensitive to pain as when tensely

daylight surroundings. All night dental

a popular demand, and it looks as if they
might become common the all night
