INNOVATION IN TREATING.
wicked Western Town starts New
Kind Of Reform.

Here IL a little incident that repeats IT.
aalf upou the streets OF Butte at least
score OF times each day. Smith end his
friend Gray are walking down Maia street,
or up, as the case may be. and they meet
Green, says the Butte correspondents IN
the Anaconda Standard.
Now, Green and Gray are strangers. out
both are friends OF Smith, so the latter
stops Green, and pleasant little dialogue
something like this ensues. and never tails
in one particular, especially not IN the
smith. "Ah. Green; glad to see you.
Allow me to make you acquainted with my
friend Gray. Mr.. Green, Mr. Gray; Mr..
GRAY, Mr.. Green"
Gray and Green in one voice; Delight
ed to meet you. -
Green: Let's have romething 10
drink" 4,
IL never fails. II is the essential part OF
Butte introduction. and the parties make
their way TO the nearest refreshments foun-
tain ana Green sets .'em up. Then Gray
sets 'em up, and then the party separates,
with mutual expressions OF IN see you
again" :,
The above happens often every day. and
here is an incident that might happen Just
as often under similar circumstances, but
for some reason it does not. The same
circumstances lead up to the meeting OK
Jones, Duffy, and Boggs. The same cere-
mony of Introduction is gone through, and
Boggs concludes and seals the new
aeauaintance with this sensible invitation:
Lets step into this furnishing house
and have something
The trio enter and Boggs sets 'em up.
Jones and Duffy each take pair OF sus-
penders and Boggs takes o silk handker-
chief in his. OF course Boggs IL well hxed
financially and his friends do not feel back
ward in taking something that costs little
more than glass of beer.
But then comes Duhy's turn 70 set 'em
up, and. it being known that his purse IS
rather shallow, each of the party this time
takes one of those neat but cheap neck
ties, and, all having something to show for
theil extravagant debauch, they separate
with mutual expressions OF goodwin ana
satisfied with their meeting and its results.

RUSSIA'S DISTRESS.
DEATH AND PesTleNcE FOLLOW IN

my Anelo-American cable 70 the Dispstcn.l
sr. PKrxRsDuGG. November Histories
Of the distress caused By the widespread
famine in Russia continue to be received
with painful monotony. Death and pesti-
lence. caused by tho character OF the food
to which the people have been compelled
to resort, are doing their work and daily
the mortality increases The situation for
thousands of the suffering poor is dark and
Is unrelieved by single ray OF hope.
Many Of the inhabitants of the famine
stricken provinces are migrating from
one part Of the country to another, hoping
by some stroke OF fortune to improve their
condition.
KyTN fIBaBIA ATTRACTIVE.
Siberia, which in the belief of many
people is a cold, bleak, and desolate coun-
try. has attractions for the sufferers IN
other parts of the Russian empire. Large
numbers from the populous province OF
Kazan. which lies in eastern European
Russia. and which has heretofore been one
OF the great wheat aud rye producing sec
tions Of the country, have already left
their homes and gone to Siberia, where
they hope TO better their condition. They
declare that no matter where they may go
they can be no worse of than In their old
province, where the Ihbl eHects VI tho
panic become more apparent day by day.
Other people are making preparations to
follow those already gone ahead TO Siberia.
ANOTHER MIGRATION.
The mIgratory-fever has also struck the
inhabitants of Simbersk. Hundreds OF
them have made their way to towns along
the river Don. Others have gone TO the
far South and are now in the ports on the
Black Sea. These people have in no way
bettered themselves; on the contrary.
they have only added to their suferings.
1t has been impossible for them to procure
employment of any kind. and they are
dependent upon charity for every mouth
full of food they get. Many of them had
some little money when they started from
their homes, eager to get work, but now
they have spent all they possessed, and
their condition is truly pitiable. The au-
thorities have undertaken to return them
to Simbersk, but 1t is hard to SEQ how this
will benefit them, as they are absolutely
pennil6ss, and without money they will find
the task Of procuring bread as hard there
as elsewhere.
The distress among the Tartars is in
creasing in severity. Many of them who
own homesteads have abandoned them
and have adopted rowing, nomadic life.

Mr.. Jenarson DArI.

memphis AVdldDC1e-AppoahI
From 1861 to 1891 is only thirty years.
Within that period more history has been
made in the United States than in any
other space Of time since CORVALLIS at
Yorktown surrendered his sword TO Wash
ington. To the veteran the battles of the
civil war are not far down the perspective.
The memories Of the glories and the hard
ships of field and camp are still VIVID.
And vet the traces Of war have almost en-
tirely disappeared from the face or the ma
ton. Towns have risen where forts trowned
and cannon-balls ploughed burrows. The
sons of veterans are voting, and after oil 1t
has been long time since the last shot
was fred and the fiags of contending armies
were furled. One after another the leaders
have been borne TO the tomb. Three years
ago Jefferson DAVIS, the chieftain, passed
away. Few of the master-minds allied
with him in the great struggle for southern
rights now remain. But the widow OF the
dauntless soul who led his emoattled
countrymen survives, and TO her the
hearts of the southern people go out IN at
lection and sympathy. Under the weight
OF her loss and increasing years she stands
comforted by the knowledge that he
whose triumphs, whose struggles and
whose sufferings she shared is to-day as
profoundly reYered for his virtues as he
was trusted and beloved when he drew hi 5
sword at the head of the marshalled South
so many years ago. 10 her it Is most mt
ting that every homage chivalry may show
should be paid. 1t is well that the closing
DAYS of her brave and devoted life should
be made happy by demonstrations OK yene-
ration. Her path should be strewn With the
roses oflove. She should be without care and
she should live TO see rise upon the banks
of the James. IN the very heart Of the
Confederacy's capital, q monument TO
Jefferson DAVIS worthy of his name and
worthy the idea for which no commended
and for which he made every personal
sacrifice. Memphis, which was once her
home, ia honored in having her within its
gates to-day. She will find nowhere be-
tween the Potomac and the Rio Grande a
kindlier solicitude or more ahectionate
interest.

TOLEDO, o., November 2s.--The Lake
Shore was the scene Of serious accident
this evening on the Boston and Chicago
special going east, which left Chicago at
1880 A. NJ. In the edge OF the city the
road runs under the Miami and Ocean ca
nal through a tunnel some seyenty-fve
feet long. Some two hundred yards east
o. the tnnnel IS target. The Lake-Shore
tram passed through the tunnel, but not
getting the signal at the target to como
ahead put on brakes and Stacked up;
The south-bound express on the Flint and
Pere Marquette road. which goes over the
Lake Shore tracks 70 the Union depot,
came through the tunnel Immediately
after the Lake Shore train, and plunged
into the rear coach. The Lake Shore tram
was vestibuied. but an ordinary coach Tor
the accommodation of way-passengers was
attached at the rear, and it was this which
suffered.
PJoUGHKD THROUGH THE CAR.
The Flint and Pere Marquette engine
ploughed its way through the car until the
pilot was more than midway OF the coaeh.
The seats and floor were torn up, and the
unfortunate passengers, bruised ana
manned, were BADLY scalded by escaping
steam from broken pipes. The time OF ar
rival Of the Flint and Pere Marquette
train is 4:53, and that OF the Lake Shore
train 4.55, there being thus but minutes
between them. The former train seems 10
have been couple Of minutes behind time.
| The engineer Of the former train says that
| Just as he was coming to the tunnel, run
| nlng fast, he saw the rear lights OF the
Lake Shore train and believed 1t to be IN
| the tunnel. Knowing a collision lneVlta,
bic. he shut OF steam, and both. he and
| his fireman Jumped, escaping with lew
bruises, they knowing that collision IN
the tunnel would give them no chance tor
life.
