Midnight Talks at the Club is the
title of a book just published, embrac.
ing, not a. its name implies n sympo-
stun on pairs, full houses and bob-tail
combinations, but a series of discus
sions on modern phases of religion,
political economy and sociology. There
is a grave suspicion that the versatile
writer, Amos X. Fiske, does not belong
to the realistic school. The work. how
ever, is bound to be popular with mar.
ried club men. II it allays the fears
and misgivings of a single wife, its
mission has not been in vain.

all the figures on Main, Broadway and
Park have gone stark mad.
1t is a fair assumption, then, that
the sale of the school property at the
proposed figure is not warranted, un-
less the trustees are sorely pressed for
money. We take 1t that they are not
under stress so terrible that they need
to force a sale at $4,000 on prop
erty which they have a right
to rate ut s125,OO ut least. or course,
Bate needs three or four school
houses and ought to have had them
before now. AS property advances it
becomes constantly more difficult to
get school lots and there should not be
fatal delay in securing these. But 1t
must be that the people OF Butte
would sustain the trustees in securing
sites and building schools OH a plan
that will involve a sacrifice far less
than that which certainly Is involved
in the pending proposition.
IL isn't SO many years ago that some
of Butte's people thought the trustees
ought TO have accepted an offer of
$4,000 for the Central school property.
The event proves that the sale would
have been foolish. The present offer
is equally short of the mark if, rs we
have said, there is any merit in present
prices on central property or any flu
ture for Butte. We trust that the
trustees will not deem IL worth while
TO submit TO the people the pending
proposition to sell the property in ques-
ton.

When Sir Robert Peel reaches home
he should join the ranks of Englishmen
who preserve their impressions of
America in book form. Sir Robert is
an Oxford graduate, has sat in the
house of commons for nearly forty
years, has been in the diplomatic ser
vice in Spain, switzerland and Russia,
and was supposed to know something
of the ways of the world. On his yoy-
age to this country he fell in with a
well-dressed American, who represent
ing himself as a detective got into the
English aristocrat's good graces in no
time. They dined together daily at
Delmonico's, and Sir Robert was so
charmed with the society of his new
acquaintance that he presented him
with a very valuable diamond and in
trusted him with the care of his funds.
When the gentleman was snatched
from Sir Roberts side one day by the
police, the baronet's establishment was
intense: yet intense as il was, it was
still further intensified when Sir Robert
learned that his companion was not
only a common swindler and adyen-
turer, but a hackman by trade, and a
low, coarse fellow anyway. IL Sir
Robert wishes to retire for a season to
kick himself, the nobility and aristo-
crazy OF England, we feel sure, will
excuse him.

worthless Information.

From the New York Evening Post.
No man, and especially no woman,
likes to tell a stranger about "a secret dis
ease or disability-that is, about one
which is not visible, and about debts and
liabilities. Almost everybody resents in
quiries on such subjects, even from
friends, as an impertinence. II is there
fore easy enough to foresee the state of
mind in which they would receive them
from a more or less forbidding stranger
popping in from the street with n note
book. OF course they cannot be prevented
by any legal penalties from returning ly-
ing or incorrect answers IL they answer at
all; and then what is the virtue of the re-
sulting figures? Think Of laboriously
tabulating such stuff and having II printed
at the public expense!

nifty Is quick to size up its lawyers and
estimate them at their true value.
People who wish to purchase dis
honesty and ~rascality will p~atrOnize
lawyers who keep those commodities

as practical experience teaches that
honesty is the best policy. There will
always be a demand for honest advice
and for honest lawyers; and the honest

partment of life, are the men who set

"There is nothing gives man such spirits,
