NEW RAILWAY PROJECT.
The Great Falls u Canada Railway
Company.

The Great Falls " Canada Railway
Company.
Articles of agreement we're filed yester-
day in the Office of the secretary of state be-
tween the Uraat Falls d. Canada railway
company and the Alberta Railway d Coal
company. The Alberta company is surety
for the Great Falls company in the project
of building a railroad from point in the
county of Choteau. ten miles west of the
west butte of the Sweet Grass Hills, thence
southerly to the Marias river, crossing near
Fort Conrad, thence across the Dry Fork,
thence to Great Falls.
This is the new road which is to connect
the Great Northern and Canadian Pacific.
Ground has already been broken and the
work is to be pushed rapidly to completion.
1t will prove of great benefit to Montana
and open up large section of the northern
part of the state. The Sand Coulee coal
fields will furnish fuel for both roads, the
mines of the Sweet Grass hills will be
opened up and a great extent of farming
land settled up. The road in connecting
with the Great Northern at Great Falls will
give Helena direct communication with the
Canadian northwest.

characters. realistic stage pictures, painted
expressly for this play by two of New

Voegtlin and Jos. Clare with all the grand
effects, correct appointments and carload of
special scenery, making the production

The Atlanta Constitution SAYS of the
great actor: Mr.. O'Nein kept his hearers
wrapt in attention as the outspoken sailor
boy, afterward the miserable prisoner of
Is years, and then as the cool and deter

naturalness of his calm demeanor, or the
outbursts of his passion caught the aud
fence and swayed it from admiration to
awe. His Interpretation of the character is
truly grand.

How cine Foe Atfected ohserxations

A new story is told about the sharp
ness and briskness of the captains of the
transatlantic steamships. On recent
voyage of one of the well known vessels
plying between here and Europe, one of
the passengers, a woman, pestered the
captain to death with unnecessary ques-
tions. Some heavy weather set in, and
owing to the fog and rain the ships Off
GERS were unable to make their usual OBJ
servations. When the captain came
down to dinner on that afternoon his
prosecutor was waiting for him.

4rrepressible statistioians.

France still remains the country most
prolific in energetic and irrepressible
statisticians. One of the tribe has lately
been busily engaged in getting up facts
and figures about persons smitten with
the mania for collecting all sorts of OBJ
jects, There are, no informs us, 12, 200 col
lectara of botanical specimens and 20, 00O
antiquaries. The labors of these people,
however, are he thinks lofty and noble
compared to those of the beings whG
stick pins in beetles and love to exhibit
the impaled insects In glass cases, or OF
the silly collectors of bus and train
tickets.
The statistician has also much to say
about the scrap book people and the
hunters after historical buttons, One OF
these has q wonderful collection of civil
and military specimens, ranging from the
time of Louis XIV to our own days, and
he spent large sums of money in looking
for articles of the kind on the battle
fields where soldiers of the first republic
and the first empire had fought.
Another Partisan brought together
10000 different portraits of the great
Napoleon, while a dealer in curiosities
has on hand the palettes Of ali the prin'
cipal French painters who have -four
ished in the second half of the present
century. The careful statistician has
omitted to add to his list the collectors
of such trifles as the slippers of ''stars'
of the ballet, there having been once an
old Partisan who had an assortment OF
these things in his museum.-London

Feather Factories.

At Mannheim, Germany, several fac
tories, employing steam machinery and
hundreds of operatives, are now at work
preparing feathers for market. The
feathers come in great quantities from
different sections of Europe, and from
China and other parts of Asia. The
bales are opened near kind of gin or
breaker, which shakes out the feathers
and throws them around in chamber
through which strong air current is
passing. From this machine they pass
to others, in which the long and heavy
feathers are separated by ventilators
from the short and light, until the final
grade of delicate down is blown into a
large receiver. The cleaning is effected
by jets of steam, the dirt thus loosened
being drawn off by currents of dry air.

Reducing His Family to Suit.


A certain man, not unknown in this
city, tells this story about himself: He
went to look at rooms, and after chat
with the landlady, in which he told her
he thought he would take them, he asked
her if she objected to children. She said
no, not particularly, and wanted to know
how many he had,
"Oh, about seven," he replied In an
offhand way.
"Whatr she cried, Goodness gra-
cious, couldn't let those in"
"Well," he said refectively, "Tll go
home and kill four of them. like the
rooms very much" The lady was horri-
fed and begged him not to do it, until
finally he consented and gave up his
hope of ever living in her pleasant rooms.

ON CONTRACTS.
Their Peculiarlties When Made Either
by Letter or by Telegram.

Their Peculiarities When Made Either
by Letter or by Telegram.
The question Of rights and liabilities
under contracts made by correspondence,
Or series of letters or telegrams'to and
from some one in another city in re-
lation to mutual business transactions,
is one that is frequently arising in bust
ness life, and with the principles of law
governing such contracts or such CORES
pondence, it will be advantageous to most
business men to be familiar. Contracts
thus made are in their nature the same
as all other contracts and governed by
the same rules, viz: There must be
parties capable of contracting, a subject
matter to be contracted for, sufficient
consideration, and an assent or COM
pletion of the contracts, and it is of the
rules governing the determination of
this question only that we propose to
write now, and to give only those more
familiar rules that are we'll established
by adjudicated cases.
An offer made by mail or telegraph is
continuing and open proposition until
its receipt by the party to whom it is
addressed, and such reasonable time
thereafter as will enable him to accept
or refuse it, or until actual notice of it's
withdrawal by the party making that
offer reaches the party to whom the offer
has been made, and any act done by the
party evincing an intent to accept it be-
fore actually receiving such notice of its
withdrawal, is a completion of the con-
tract. 1t may be withdrawn by the
party making it at any time previous to
its acceptance by the other, but this no.
tice of withdrawal is not operative until
it has actually reached the party to
whom it is addressed.
For instance: If A should write to B,
making a certain offer for certain goods,
and B should write accepting such offer,
the contract would be completed at the
time B posted his acceptance, although
A might in the meantime have written
another letter withdrawing his offer, pro-
viding that B had mailed his acceptance
before receiving the notice of withdrawal.
In other words, the contract is complete at
the time of mailing the acceptance of the
offer, and not at the time of the receipt
of such acceptance by the party making
the offer.
Should B delay his acceptance, how
ever, until the receipt of the notice of
withdrawal, no acceptance then made
could operate to bind A to the contract.
The offer need not be revoked in the
same manner as it was made, either; and
should A. after making an offer to B.
alter his determination and telegraph B
to that effect, which telegram was re-
ceived by B previous to receipt of the
offer or its acceptance by him, it is a
complete withdrawal.
The entire question in each case is, Has
there been an assent to the terms offered
before the offer was withdrawn? If SO,
there is complete contract, which can
only be rescinded by the consent of both
parties, while before such acceptance its
terms are constantly open to a modifca-
tion by either.-American Merchant.

WAY WORN.

1sometimes think that 1t would be best
If the hands that labor were folded DER
The silent breast in the last sweet rest,
When think of the friends who have gone be
fore;
Who have crossed o'er the rivers rolling tide,
And reached the home on the other side.
1t seems 50 far to the wished for day,
And weary and lonely and lost roam;
/ feel like child who has lost his way
And is always longing for home, sweet homei
But say TO my yearning heaEt, BE still;
Well go home when it is Gods will
The night is hong, but the day will break
When the light of eternity streaming down
On the cross we bear for the Masters sake
Will guide our steps to the promised crown.

Home and heaven and rest ut last
