Mlssourians at Yellowstone PARK.

Henry Co Democrat,
LIVINGSTON, MONTANA,
AUG. 18th, 1891.
EDIToRs DEMOCRAT: Geo. F. Warth
OF Clinton, arrived here last Monday
and remained until Thursday morn
ing when he took the Park train to
visit that noted spot where the earth
Is just receiving the finishing touches
Tuesday evening he and / took a
trip up the Yellowstone, about five
miles, near the residence of George
Allen, formerly Of Henry county)
Tor the purpose of catching trout.
The weather was fine for the sport
and in an hour and half we took
out about thirty fine trout, beside
several white fish. Mr.. Warth made
a aphenomenal pilgrim record, as hs
had eight nice trout and three white
fish when we quit fishing, besides he
claims he resumed fishing shortly
after bed time, and landed trout all
night. H- seemed to regret he
could not exhibit his trophies to
Frank Ware, who he thought, would
greatly appreciate them. His allu.
sion to Mr.. Ware made me recall the
expression of Mr.. Hayes, concerning
Uncle Sardis Burchard," on the oc-
caslon OF his nomination.
Miss Alice Warth was here with
her father, but is now at Geo. Al
len {, awaiting his return from the
the Park.
[ hope Judge CAN'T will conclude
to swing around this way on his re.
turn trip. We had two VAIN davs

Montana is having a prosperous
year and her agricultural interests
are booming.

Great Reductions in Cost made il
Every Particular.

JeHerSOn City, Mo, Aug. ID
The Missouri school text book COM
mission completed its labors late
last night, but refused to give out
the awards made, in order, as stated
by the Hon. U. S. Hall of the COM
mission, to give time for the prepa-
ration of the subjoined report, winch
is in the nature of an address to the
people OF the state and which CON
tains all the facts and figures per
tanning to the award.
A general estimate is that the
work Of the board will save the peo-
pie of the state not less than $780,
900 annually. The reduction in the
cost Of text books for the schools is
practically SO per cent. The COM
mission has labored faithfully and
conscientiously and the result of its
work will be far reaching, as it does
away with monopoly that has fat
tened at the expense of the people
Missouri.
The commission has been in ses-
sion just three weeks and the entire
cost to the cost to the state will not
exceed $1,000.
The report of the commission,
which covers all details fully. is as

NOTES AND GOSSIP.

There seems to be hitch in the
arrangements said To- have been made
by Barnum and Bailey in regard to ex-
hibiting tho "Fall of Babylon at the
Point of Pines this summer.
Despite the lcntcn seasun Boston has
not been lacking IN social events, and the
theatres have presented attractions well
calculated 10 make all but the strictest
devotees of the church swcrve from their
accustomed patti.
Southern strawberries are quite plen-
tiful on tho market, and there is moth
ing high about them except the bottom
of the boxes, prices ranging from 20 to
40 cents. AT these figures they are well
come representatives of the sunny
South, if not as palatable as our rl-
tives.
Boston's building inspectors are seri-
ously considering the altitude reached
oy several of the recently constructed
business blocks, some of which are nj
together out of the reach Of the most
effective fire apparatus. Seventy-ive
feet, the inspectors say, should be the
limit skyward.
There is no particularly bright stars
visible in the theatrical horizon of this
city for coming engagements, with the
exception of VIM, II. Crane at the
Hollis, March 80, although musical
circles arc anxiously anticipating the
second and last grand operate festival
matinee, which occurs at Music Hall on
the afternoon of April I, and which will
mbrace the cream of operate artists.
No less than 20, 900 visited the Ire.
mont Theatre during the Bernhardt en-
gagement of one week, and the scale of
prices in vogue was from - to S15.
The total for the nine performances
six nights and three matinccs-was
S43, ,889.37, of which S33,99i was
from the regular rates and S9S95.37
from the premiums This is believed
to DO the greatest week ever recorded
for dramatic engagement
The Chinese theatre here has bcel
closed for lack Of support. Your cor
respondent never had the pleasure of at
tending a performance at the celestia
playhouse, but from the sounds he ha'
occasionally caught in passing tho plac,
was forcibly reminded of the New Yorl
gold exchange of twenty years ago
with the accompaniment Of an extensive
boiler shop in full operation.

BOSTON LETTER.
Spoliation Claims---Merchant
Marine Of a Century Ago.
The Bernhardt Engagement--
Other Theatrical Notes
and Gossip.

A subject much talked of at present
here is the French spoliation claims,
the settlement of which will distribute
throughout New England $4,000, 900,
though as yet Congress has appropriated
but million and half toward that
end. Although the bulk of this large
sum will ultimately come to Boston,
and much of il to families already well
provided with this worlds goods, other
seaport towns come iu for 4 goodly
share, notably Newburyport, Mass,
the home of Lord Timothy Dexter,
whose descendants, it is said, will
receive a handsomt sum. The partial
satisfying OF these claims after the lapse
OF century recalls to my mind the
maritime service of the period which
created them, and the magnitude OF in
dividual enterprise in sour grand
fathers day" Boston at that time was
not the centre of activity in shipping by
any means. and many small
seaboard town, which has since
scarcely doubled its number
of inhabitants, was represented on the
ocean by larger fleets than the HUB.
"Old Billy Gray" as he was familiar
" called, and who ut one period of his
life was poor shoemaker, had sixty
square rugged ships sailing from this
port. His fleet was badly decimated by
the French privateersmen, and from
this will come to his descendants tho
snug sum of half million.
The largest shipowner from the time
of the Revolution to tho last war
with Great Britain in 1912 was Joseph
Peabody of Salem, Mass, in which
town Mr.. Gray commenced his COM
mercial training when mere lad under
Richard Derby. Mr.. Peabody built and
owned IS ships, which In every
instance, he frieghtcd himself,
and for the navigation of which
he shipped upward of seven thou
sand seamen, thirty.five of whom who
entered his service as boys he advanced
TO the rank of shipmaster The sails
of his immense fleet may be said to have
fiecked every sea, as he had performed
by his vessels 80 trips to Calcutta; IL
to Canton; 80 to Sumatra; AZ to st.
Petersburg; 10 to other Northern Euro
pean ports, and 90 to the Mediterranean
previous to the war of 1912. The taxes
paid by Mr.. Peabody annually amounted
to nearly quarter of million dollars.
In subsequent letters l may have some
thing more to say of old time Boston
merchants and the maritime service OF
a century and more ago, interspcrsed
with anecdotes which will bear repeat
ing to the present generation and which
NAV be of service to those entering
upon business careers or formulating
plans for the future.
In regard to business here in Boston,
II is hard to tell whether it Is good, bad
or Indifferent. although there seems To
be general prosperity among dealers
and manufacturers. The fact of the
matter is, that What once passed fol
prosperity is no longer regarded as such
