duty Of all ts uphold the objects of the
Miners Union. Net by arbitrary means,
but by simply asking what is right, and
to learn to know that when we have
asked and received what is right that it
is as far as we should go The Union
does net debate politics, religion. or
public opinion in their ball, and their
meetings are confined strictly to the
interests of the werkingmen.
Twsnty-slx years ago the first organ-
zat1on Of this kind was founded in V1r-
glnia, Nevada. and has been the means
Of keeping peace and harmony among
the masses of men who delve in the
bowels of the earth for livllhsod and
their employers and no strike has yet been
caused by them.
The Butte Union has existed for
twelve years, with like results. In speak
ing Of the Bate Miners Union he showed
in many instances where they were a
benefit to every taxpayer, as we'll as to
themselves. In the matter Of funeral
expenses alone. he said that from $4,000
to $4,000 was paid out each year from
the funds Of the Union, a great part of
which the county wenld have to bear
were the Union not in existence.
In closing, he said that the miners
here came to the conclusion that there
was pernanenoy in Granite to justify
the erection of a hall like this. The
Granite Union was organized September
2S, 1888. and now claims membership Of
twelve hundred miners. To Mr.. Jehn
Welch who ia now superintendent of the
East Granite company he said was due
the credit OF advancing the organization
on this hill.
After Mr.. Gilfillan had finished speak
ing Hoa. j. l. Brazeltsn and Mr.. Isaac
Williams each delivered short addresses
to the vast audience that had assembled
in the beautiful hall, and then the floor
was put in order for the dance. which
followed and was continued until four
o'clock the next morning. The dance
NAV we'll be said the grandest that has
ever taken place on the hill. Over eighty
coup es responded to the call Of he grand
march, and nc >f them were on the
floor when the 20 of Home, Sweet
Home. sounded from the orchestra.
The hri ding cost the n1aers $4,000. |
The main hall has a seating capacity OF
fully 600. It is 44x53 feet. with ceiling

be used for secret orders, is 30144 feet, |

sun itself emerged the color Of blood, with
its disk gnawed by the mist. The snowy
lines of the coast hills and of the huge
blocks of ice took mild tinge, q light pink,
and the blue shadows became violet.
After an hours walk amid the accumula-
tions of ice blocks. broken, crushed, and
studded with points, which the English ex-
plorers of the North Pole have called hum
mocks, and which have the appearance of a
field upturned by gigantic plough, the
hunters reached a labyrinth Of icebergs..
There, they saw in the snow numerous
tracks of white bears and polar foxes (these
foxes are parasites of the bears, from which
they succeed, thanks to their agility and
nimbleness, in snatching portion of their
prey. A moment afterwards, they discov-
cred a den, the inhabitants of which were
absent. These caverns, two yards deep,
have two openings-a couple of bears have
scarcely sufficient room to lie down in one
of them.
A little further on, they saw two bears in
ambush. Near one of those round crevices

and where they come for the suns warmth

watching for their prey with so much at
tention that they did not hear the approach
of the two hunters.
After waiting few minutes, Yegor and
M. Lafeur saw the head of seal emerge
prudently from the ice. The quickest of
the two bears gave it a blow with its claws
which brought it half dead out of the water
Then the bears precipitated themselves upon
the amphibious creature, tore it to pieces,
and began to devour it.
This was favorable moment to attack
them. Yegor, who had had all the trouble
in the world to restrain the two Siberian
dogs and keep them silent, released them.
On hearing them bark, the bears seemed
uncertain as to whether they should allow
themselves to be attacked or beat a retreat.
But already NJ. Laf1eur had fred a ball at
each of them. The bears hesitated no
longer, and seeing that they had to deal with
resolute hunters, vanished behind the ice
blocks.

Marriage a Hundred Yearsa Hence

At the present time, a popular
presumption exists that all girls wish
to marry, and fail to do SO only
because they lack an eligible opportu-
nifty, writes Edward Bellamy il Tie
LadIes' Home /0urnak This pre-
sumption exists on account of the
obvious fact that women, being able
with difficulty to support themselves,
have in general a greater material in
terest in marriage than men have.
Surely there can be few incidents Of
an unmarried woman's condition
more exasperating than her knowl-
edge that because this is the undeni-
able fact it is vain for her to expect to
be popu,arly credited with the volun-
tary choice Of her condition. She
must endure with a smile, however
she may rage within, the coarse jest
or innuendo to which it would be
worse than vain to reply. National
ism by the economic independence
of women, without reference to their
single or married state, will destroy
the presumption referred to by max
ing marriage no more obviously de-
Sirable to ore sex than to another.
