Mr. NJ. kirkpatrick, lawyer of Butte,

rick, are at the Rainier hotel. Last night
Mr.. kirkpatrick said: The people Of
Montana were quite grievousiy disaP-
pointed when congress adjourned and no
action was taken giving free coinage. But
it is my belief that the present silver bill
will steadily raise tie price of the metal,
and think that in time the silver will be
taken up at the mint till the price goes
back to $i.29 an ounce--the point at which
free coinage Is to begin. Silver is increas-
Jig in value now. and with the continued
purchases by the secretary Of the treasury

Human beings are queer animals. There
is the minister of the gospel whose greatest
pride is in his knowledge of sin. and the
cutthroat whose pride is in his familiarity
with the scriptures. There is the tramp
who looks upon labor as disgrace, but
prides himself upon his skill as a beggar.
There is the thief proud of his cunning rob-
berries who would die of melancholy if &C.
cused of drumming" dinner. There is
the cumberland there are many of him"
who would rob his dearest friend at gam
ing. but would revolt at the meanness of
picking pOcket-a far more skillful feat.
There is the political Office holder whose
bosom swels with prideful emotions when
contemplating his high and honorable posi-
ton won by bribery, treachery and false
hood. There is the young man-you all
know him-whO glOries in his fine clothes
and spends with generous hand money
that is wrung from the toiling bodies of his
humble parents. He is dandy, and his
father gets his old clothes. There is the
young lady whose fine dresses and dash
ing style attract the vulgar gaze of empty
headed cadS that would wither of mortifica-
ton if her stopped. calico-clad mother
should insist on accompanying her on pa
rade. There is the little weakly woman
whose greatest glory is in the good she can
do others. There is the burly tough whose
only glory is in the number of heads he has
broken. There is the policeman who thinks
that his club is to defend people with; and
there is another policeman who thinks that
his club is to club people with. And there
is the lawyer who thinks that it is his duty

Invented BY q Convict.

John E. Foster, who is confined in the
Massachusetts state prison, has invented
what is called wonderful marine engine.
The convict in explaining it's merits. says
there are no eccentrics used, and that the
engine is reversed without Stacking speed
by means of a button, but that on large
engine treadle would be used. The re-
versing is done so quickly that one can
hardly tell that the engine has been re.
versed. Only three valves are used. and
they are self acting. There is no steam
chest and no condensed steam can get into
the cylinder.
Foster claims that the engine is more
powerful than COrliss. and there is less
expense attending it. as large percentage
of friction is done away with. The speed
is faster than the COrliss or an oscillatOr.
One feature about the engine is that the
piston when detached can be reversed.
Foster is at work at present on fire en-
CINE. In this engine he proposes to do
away with eccentrics, crossroads. balance
wheels and shafts. A double section pump
will be used. He has sent on to Washing
ton to the patent Office. and it has sent for
full particulars.
An old machinist says there is no cylin-
der like it in the world. The inventor is
an uneducated man, but it is thought he
has succeeded in solving great problem in
mechanics.

OUR CHAUTAUQUA WORK.

In the chapel last Sunday afternoon the
local circle of the Chautauqua Literary and
Scientific Circle completed its second years
meeting is on another page of this issue.
We cannot say that the past years work
has been complete success, but we can
say that it has been great improvement
in the work since the start have not realized
their expectations for the circle or for them
selves individually. They deIuded them
selves by thinking that all that would be
necessary to assure success was to organize
the circle. get the necessary text books and
certificates of membership. After this was
done everything else was expected to follow
as matter of course. The books were dis
tributed among the members and they be-
gan reading them with rush. All light
and trashy literature was thrown out of the
cells. and every man determined to stand at
the head of the class at the end of the year.
But alas. for the frailty of resolutions. We
will not resurrect the ghosts of that year.
We will just say that there was no head
place at the close of the year, neither was
there foot; but, then, how could there be,
for was it not circle? The circle re-
NAMED; new books were procured, new
officers were elected, new members were
taken in and everybody resolved again.
The second year had its failures and back
sliders and suffered many of the vcissitudes
of the first year, but it was an improve
ment. 1t showed the advantages that come
only by experience. Those who were, from
force of their very natures. Indifferent
students in the beginning. have, by con-
slant effort. become good students. They
have acquired new tastes and formed habits
in conformity with the requirements of the
Chautauqua system. and they now consti
tute solid basis for the circle to build
upon. The greatest drawback to the work
at the start was the lack of experienced
leaders. There was not at the start soul
about the prison that knew the first thing
about the work; now it ia different, and
there is every reason to hope that the cur
rent year will be as near satisfactory as can
be expected in human affairs. We have got
full classes, a good constitution and by

Coming Into A Legacy.

The following passage of repartee be-
tween the gown and the sword is still pre-
served among the society legends of CAL
cutta. A certain famous English general.
the hero of two Eastern wars, found his
health beginning to give way beneath the
strain of long and arduous service, and was
ordered home by his doctors. On the day
of his embarkatiOn for England, he was &C.
companied by vast crowd of friends, to
whom he began to distribute various small
tokens Of his regard.
well. general. asked the Bishop of Cal
cutta. who was one of the party, ''have you
no memento to leave to an old friend like
me?"
"Oh. have not forgotten you, my lord. :"
cried the general. ''On the contrary,
have beQueathed to you my entire stock of
impudence."
Ten thousand thanks. my dear general"
replied the undaunted bishop. "You have
given me by far the largest and most valu-
able part of your property"
And then the bishops wife turned to her
husband. and said sweetly, my dear, l am
glad to see that you have come into your
legacy so soon. "--David Kerr, in Harper's
Magazine.

laws, efficient officers. the hearty good will
of the officials of the prison and the as
surance from the headquarters of the great
C. L. S. C. that our circle is an object of
especial interest to the leaders. The course
of reading for this year is unusually invit.
ing to Americans. for it deals principally
with the history of our own country and
our own people. Not only is the course
interesting but it contains information that
will be of great utility to us. 1t will afford
us, if properly pursued. more than 0rdi-
nary understanding of our country and the
nature of its government. things of which
most Americans are sadly ignorant. Be-
sides our text books, we have. through the
generosity of Bishop John II. Vincent. the
founder of the great organization, six cop
les of the ChautauQuan Magazine which
will afford us variety each month of the
best matter that is produced by the best
minds of the day. Nothing is left undone
by those who can help us that can reason
ably be expected. Our success or failure
depends now wholly upon our own actions.
We owe it to ourselves, to the prison man.

society and it's law. makers for more en-
lightened and Christian methods of prison
treatment, and to fallen and imprisoned
humanity the world over. to so conduct our
circle and our individual selves as to win
confidence in the honesty of our purpose
and respect for our attainments. Never be
wholly discouraged; keep constantly before
you the fact that you really have that which,

Here is bit of advice given by the ed

University. that cannot be too often re-
peated: There is fascination in watch

whose every move tells. Two things are
necessary to this sort of mplishment-
a mind to plan details in their most advan-
tageOus order, and will to carry out the
plan. You have to use your :'think", as a
small boy once expressed it. and after you
have used that, then comes perhaps the
hardest part of ALTO make your will put
into execution what your think" COM
mands. The only sure way is to take things
in regular order, one at time, proceeding
methodically in accordance with a careful
plan. 1t takes some people two hours to
do fifteen minute job. because they don't

Two years ago John Tongass, tramp,
was sent from Celna. O., to the peniten.
tiary for life for the murder of Albert Van
Ripper. The other day Albert Van Ripper
returned to Celina and declaredthat he had
never been murdered and that he hadn't
the pleasure of knowing his murderer John
TOngass. OF course as soon as Van Ripper
proves his identity and that he is not dead
Tongass will be pardoned for his crime.
The pardOned man can then resume his
tramping wiser if not a richer and better
man. The governor of California the
other day pardoDed James Henderson be-
cause he was proved innocent by the death
bed confession of the actual criminal. Hen
dersOn had served four years and was so
broken down at sense of the disgrace
that had been put upon him that he had to
be taken away in carriage. His wife and
children had suffered only as the family of
convict can sutfer-pOverty, humiliation
and Ostracism. His two children had died,
one of them in the poorhouse. What
greater wrong could have been done the
man? One would imagine that the whole
state would rise up and strive to repair the
wrong as far as possible. but it won't.
