President r. r. Cakes, Of the Northern
Pacific, arrived in Helena yesterday on his
way to the coast. Those in the party beside
MI. Cakes were: N. G. Thrall, assistant to
the president; w. S. Mellen, general man
acer; j. NJ. Hannafdyd, general traffic
manager; NJ. c. Kimberly, general superin-
tendent; j. A. Baker, general auditor; James
Mcknight, general SOLICITOR: G. W.. Dicker-
son, assistant superintendent; s. G. Ram
saw, superintendent Rocky Mountain
division, and J.. D. Finn, superintendent
Montana division. The party spent part Of
yesterday at Butte, arriving in Helena at
$50, proceeding Immediately to the Broad
water, where s. T.. Hauser, Col. Broad
water, Agent Edgar and other Helena gen
tlemen met the party. President Cakes
said he was simply on his annual tour OF in
spection, and after a stop OF about four
hours the party proceeded west.
Regarding the reported rate Of the North
ern Paci6c's Manitoba lines to the Cana
dian Pacific, Mr.. Cakes says: The report
is utterly without foundation. There is
one point that the people who spread the
rumor seem to forget. That is. that we are
under positive contract with the Winnipeg
government not to sell our lines either to
the Canadian Pacific or to the Great North
ern. The story was first started by a Cana
dian Pacific official as a joke. but it was
taken up and repeated until some people
began to believe it, and it grew as it
spread"

The Alton Stands by It's Decision.

The Chicago & Alton road has not an
pealed from the decision of Chairman Fin
ley, of the Western Passenger association,
by which 1T was ordered to pay n penalty
for violation of the agreement. Under tie
rules it was allowed five days in which TO
take an apreal after the decision
was rendered, and the stipulated
time has been permitted to expire with
out any action on the rat of the Alton
management. Chairman Finley has inst
addtessed a formal letter to the general
manager, reminding him that the time for
appeal has passed and agaiu requesting him
to make H report of all the tickets sold Inv
has company at less than tariff rates from
Kansas City to st. Louis, and from 81.
Louis to Chicago between MAY II anu June
3. This information is desired in order
that tine chairman, may within ten DAVIS
make a sight draft on the companv for the
full amount of the fine imposed, which IN
ciudts the value of all these tickets at full
tariff rates, III addition to the sun Of $500
that was arbitrarily fixed by the decision.
President Blackstone and General Manager
Campbell raite~ate the statement that the
fine will not be raid. They say also
that the Alton has no intention of
withdrawing from the Western Passen-
ger association, and that if the association
dissolves 1T will be by the Withdrawal OF
the other roads. Chairman Finley will
have done his whole duty, according to the
terms OF the agreement, when he has mott
ned all the lines in interest of the Atoms
refusal to pay the fines imposed upon it.

The tourist season over the Northern Pa
cifc opened June l, that date being liked
both for the National park tours and for
the sailing of the first steamer to Alaska.
During the past year a great deal of work
has been done i nthe park. hotel
dations have been increased, and 1t is esti-
mated that the travel there this year will
be much larger than ever before. A great
number of the park tourists, both from the
east and west. now come to Helena. drawn
hither in a large degree by The Broadwater.
This is also true as regards Alaska parties.
and when the season fully opens The Broad
water will entertain a large number of peo-
pie who would not come to Helena were 1t
not for the excellent hotel accommodations
and beneficial baths.
The Alaska season opens with the bright
est prospects. The steamship City Of
Topeka sailed June 2 for the far north. the
sencers, nearly her full capacity. So great
is the business already that the passenger
lists of the three great steamers are now
full up to August 16. and it looks as though
many tourists desireus OF making the trip
wenld be forced to remain at home for lack
of means of transportation, In fact, July
and August are considered the most desira-
BILE months in which to make the trip, and
rs q majority of travellers never make up
their minds until the eleventh hour, it nay
be put down as a fact that many such are
doomed to disappointment. Something
over LOCO tourists visited that region last
summer. but the number this year will be
much greater. Tho Queen made the tiIst
trip last year, later in June, with a passen-
ger list of of 213. but the subse-
quent business was not as good
as 10 already assured this year.
This Alaska summer buslness is becoming
30 great, growing larger year by year, that
the addition of another steamer is already
under consideration for next season. Last
wear a number of Helena people made the
trip, and a larger quota will do so this
season.
The Union Pacific also, in connection
with other lines, will make excursion rates
to Alaska this season. The route will be
over tho Chicago II Alton from Chicago to
st. Louis, from there to Denver over the
Missouri Pacific, thence to Ogden via the
Denver & Rio Grande. from the latter place
to Portland over the Union Pacific, by way
of the Northern Pacific to Puget sound
points, and thence to Alaska by the Pacific
Coast steamship company's vessel. On
the return trip thefroute will be by the
Canadian Pacific and Great Northern to
st. Paul, and over the Milwaukee to Chi
cago. This trip will consume thirty-one
days. This route should also prove a pop
ular one, and the return BY way of the
Great Northern will give tourists a chance
to look over Helena.

a lady who was once travelling through
western forest with friends stopped one
night at rancher's." Everything was
poor and plain, tie cabin built OF logs and
the dense forest crept up to the very door
The wind soughing among the Fir trees
made it seem indescribably lonely as dark
ness came on. The dwellers in the cabin
were simple, kindly pioneers, who had
grown accustomed to this rough mode of
living, and had no thought above it. After
the plain supper the lady, noticing a little,
old fashioned melodeon in one corner
went to it and was about to open it, when
a young girl came huuriedly to her and
said:
'Oh, yuh mustn't play. Gran'ma don't

died. Says she won't hev no more o. our

Then, with glance at the old bent figure
by the hearth, she seated herself at the
melodeon, and touching the yellow keys
softly began 10 sing, low and sweet, pro-
nouncing each word with liquid clearness,

The child stood beside her awed and
frightened, but 'gran'ma" only leaned q
little forward and listened. But presently,
as the full meaning of the simple, tender
words stole in upon her h2.rzs-ned, narrow
mind, her old fingers moved nervously, and
great tears swelled into her faded eyes,
and when the song was finished she was
sobbing like helpless, weary child that
has at last found an outlet for its long pent
grief.-Ella Higginson in West Shore.

Tho Polish of the CnRrx Shell

The cowry, eggsheil, or Cyprea is repre-
sented on this coast, but the finest speci.
mems come from southern waters. 1t is
the common shell of the New England
manteipiece, where, with the ten COM
mandments or the constitution of the
United States carved upon its back, it sits
in silent protest against poor taste and the
despoliaticn of an otherwise beautiful
creature. 1t is generally supposed that the
shell has been artificially polished, so per-
feet is the luster of the surface, but this is
mistake, as 1 have taken them from their
native haunts by diving fifteen or twenty
feet down, and the polish vas perfect.
In this way | observed their method of
preserving the polish. When in the water
and moving about the shell was complete

LAKE MoHoSK. N V. June Sat the
session of the Lake sIohonk negro confer.
ence to-day, Rev. A. L. Phillips, Southern
delegate. made speech in favor of educa-
ton of the negroes. The time had come. he
said, when Northern teachers would
no longer be ostracised by
Southern whites. He urged, however,
that Northern teachers, while maintaining
business relations with the colored people.
should maintain social relations only with
the whites.
The president of the conference. Hon.
Rutherford B. Hayes, also spoke in favor
of national education.
The conference at its closing session
adopted the following Recommendations.
for which it suggests friends of the negro,

Four and Its Multiple of Ten.

The number four was anciently esteemed
the most perfect of alt, being the arithmet-
ical mean between one and seven. Oman,
the second caliph, said, -Four things come
not back-the spoken word, tine sped ar
row, the past life, the neglected opportun-
nifty" In nature there are four seasons,
and the four points of the compass
Forty, multiple of four by ten, is one
of the sacred numbers, The probation of
our first parents in the Garden of Eden is
supposed to have been forty years. The
rain fell at the delugs forty days and
nights, and the water remained on the
earth forty days. The days Of embalming
the dead were forty. Solomon's temple
was forty cubits long. In it were ten Law
ers, each four cubits long and containing
forty baths.
Moses was forty years old when he fed
into the land of indian, where he dwelt
forty years. He was on Mount Sinai forty
days and forty nights. The Isrselites wan
dered in the wilderness forty years. The
Saviour tasted forty days and nights before
entering upon public life. The same time
elapsed between the resurrection and the
escension.-Chicago Herald.

The Columbus Egg Story Improved.

One day when | was boy at sclaol the
class had for a reading lesson thaetory OF
Columbus and the egg In the class was a
little Irish boy about my own age, whose
name was Jerry Grady, and when school
was out at noon Jerry said to me:
Did ye mind that sthory about Column
bus and the egg? Sure, that's not the way
the thrick was done at all, at all. Come
wild me, and FL show We how Columbus
done it."
Jerry's mother kept hens, and when we
reached the house he had no trouble in
finding fresh egg
First putting a clean plate on the
table, Jerry took the egg and shook it yio-
lently for some seconds, or until the yolk
and the white were thoroughly mixed, like
compound of milk and water. Then.
after holding the egg upright on the plate
until the mixture inside of it had settled
quietly into the broad base of it, be with

upright and alone.
There, said he, ''that's the way Column

Imagination and Sympathy,

1t takes imagination to realize wildly
anything outside of our own conscious
ness, but, directly we have this keen reali-
cation of another's condition, we are in
some sort of sympathy with him. Who
would tread upon a worm or wantonly
crush butterfly or kick dog if he were
wildly realizing the pain he was inflict-
ing? And, still more, who would wound a.
fellow being by word or deed or look; who
would Cypress the poor, cheat the ignorant
or despiss the feeble, if the distress they
created was ever present before them2 So
true is it that Evil is wrought by want of
thought, as well as want of heart New
