A host of decorators, carpenters, gas and

Fred Lehman building for nearly a month,
and have effected a transformation that

About the last Of the week the old firm,
under the new name Of Harris Bros, will
occupy the entire building with the various
departments of their business. and expect
to show tho finest line of male attire that
has ever been seen in Helena.
The room la worthy of d more extended
notice than we have been able to give. The
alterations have been handled by Mr.. ID.
Andrews, who has also built the counters
and shelving. The decorations have been
designed by the Handchild brothers, OF our
city, who have turned out a piece of work
that could not DO surpassed by any artists
in this or any other country.
The hat and counter cases are the work
Of Ketchum 81 DeNoille and are equal, II
not superior, to any work in this city turned
out by eastern factories. All the work ID OF

Tho Japanese Filtration.

1.-THE japanese are nothing if not pro-
gressive,'' aaid L.. t. Bruce. who has just re-
turned from the Orient. american Gus
toms are coming into vogue over there, and
even our methods of Irritation, with some
slight notifications. becoming popular.
The Japanese maiden is exceedingly coy,
and it is difficult for q foreigner to gain an
entrance into society, but tilrtations are by
no means uncommon.
'How? Well, if q young man sees a pretty
Japanese girl on the street he nay follow
her at a respectful distance. Presently he
will meet an elderly woman, to whom he
must impart the information hat he has
lost his heart and is miserable. 4@&
'The old woman will ask what has be-
come Of his heart, and he must point out
the girl, at the same time slipping a quar-
ter in the formers hand. She will diaap-
pear, and in a few moments return, with
information that if he will be at a certain
fashionable tenhouae on tho following day
he may recover his heart.
."Ihe pretty maiden will appear with a
chaperon and the young man is at liberty
TO address her. She will probably meet
him often in this way, but always with a
proteotoress, whose vigilance is never re-
la1ed. If the aspiring youth is circumspect
he may eventually call, and 80 gradually
work his way into sooiety."-Snn Francisco

there is no truth in the story telegraphed
from New York to the effect that Marcus
DAILY had bought Nelson six months ago.
Furthermore he says Nelson is not to be
sold under any circumstance or for any
consideration. Mr.. Nelson also declares
that the timers watches must have had
something wrong with them at Independ-
ence. He declares that ninety-nine out of
a hundred time pieces made the time of

Directors reputation as IL sire is we'll
known. Hugh Kirkendall made q great
stroke when he got all the Director blood he
could in his stables, as that sire has sprung
into greater prominence since the wonder
full performance of Direct as q PAGER at
Independence. It will be remembered that
when that fast mile in 2:O6 was flashed over
the wires as d record breaker the Chicago
Inter Ocean Immediately figured out that
it was nothing of the kind, that Westmout's
2:O1M mile, made in Chicago with a running

went against the clock and without o run
ming mate, is regarded as the fastest trotte1
in the world. So Dinect, who had no run
ming mate, holds the record for paoers.

younger. Erect war not trained this
spring, Mr.. K%irkendall preferrinR to keep
him in the stud. Still he has shown con-
siderable speed both as a trotter and as a

was weighted with "a ounces, n
with 10 ounces when he got his

A Cute Conductor Who Work.
ed His Gift Of Second
Sight.

A. J. Meyer. of Chicago, who arrived
in st. Paul yesterday from across the
Canadian border, talks Interestingly OF
a scheme on foot for connecting Lake
Huron with Lake Ontario, by line of
ship railway. A corps of engineers, of
whom Mr.. Meyer is one, have just COM
pleted survey of the route, and MI.
Meyer states that the idea is entirely
practicable, an dthat the building of a
road capable of carrying vessels Of the
largest tonnage would cost much less
than supposed. The distance as the
line has been surveyed, is sixty-eight
miles. 1t will be necessary to
deepen some OF the canals along the
course of the st. Lawrence, but the COM
pletion of the whole scheme will enable
grain transports loaded at Duluth or
Chicago to sail directly for European
ports in much shorter time than that
occupied at present, in addition to which
the saving of transshipment to ocean
going vessels at Montreal or Quebec
will be accomplished. Mir. Meyer esti-
mates that the cost of shipping grain
from Duluth to Liverpool by this route
will average $3.50 per ton, whereas at
present, by the all-raIl routes to the AT
lantic and thence by ocean. 1t costs
$780, An English and Canadian
syndicate is ready to carry the
plan into execution as soon as the
engineers estimates have been sub
mItted. The Canadian promoters of
the plan predict a tremendous reyolu-
ton in export freight rates.
When asked as to whether the pro-
posed route would not be hampered by
ice in certain seasons of the year. Mr..
Meyer replied that that difficulty had
been figured on and that the closing OF
the route for four months out OF twelve
was expected.

HAD SECOND SIGHT.
A Cute Conductor Who Had the
Strange Gift.


Strange Gift.
Harry Lee, the representative of the
Jefferson Florence Company. which ap-
pears at the Metropolitan next week,
has the reputation of being the best
story-teller insthe dramatic profession,
and though it is well known that he
originated many of the funny scenes
and incidents. Lee always denies the
authorship. Last evening at the Hotel
Ryan, Lee, De Wolf Hopper and Mana
ger l.. N. Scott. with few kindred
spirits. were gathered in the dispensary
of liquids attached to the hoStelry.
Some very tail stories had been banded
around by Hopper. when Lee managed
tosecure the floor.
zD"Now, Til tell you ca strange thing which
occurred on my trip to st. Paul from Chi
eago.r said Lee. land I think you will agree
with me, when tell you the incident. that 1t
was remarkable case of second sight.
Il had been talking to the conductor for
some time about the feats of Irving Bishop
and young tombstone. of Minneapolis, when
the knight of the cars informed me that he
too was gifted with second sight number
of passengers in the Pullman heard the con-
yersation. and the result was num-

that at the next station gentleman ABOUT
sixty years of age would board the train and
travel as far as La Crosse, and that during
the ruin he would make five complaints as to
the management of the road. sure enough.
at The next station passenger answering
the conductors description boarded the
train and came into the chair ear. We watched
him. and in a few minutes he tried TO open q
window, but it held fast. l never saw such
a road as this in my life he shouted;

Kick the first, whispered the conductor.
s.In few minutes he went to the ice cooler
and drew cup of water, but threw it aside

you all think it was case OF second sight?''
continued Lee.
DE Wolf Hopper gave vent to loud
laugh. and throwing his arms around
Lee. said: "My boy. my boy, am sorry
for you. but it must be my duty to
snatter your hopes in second sight. That
condu tor played the same game on me
when l came from Chicago, and the
kicker made seven kicks. And we
always thought we were so smart.
