NEWS FROM PARIS.
Bartholdi Talks Of the World'a Fair and
Will Not offer an Exhibit.

ktArJuOkul 1 OA II "OTIlH Auu
Will Not Offer an Exhibit.
PARIS, Jan. BIN. Bartholdi, in an IN
terview today, warmly endorsed the cart
students fund" plan proposed by John
Armstrong Chandler, husband OF Amelie
Rives, the Virginia author, in order to
give financial aid to deserving American
students who may wish to pursue their
studies in Paris. As the plan is under
stood here Chanler proposes to raise a
su ficient sum of money to guarantee five
years of study abroad, $4,000, or 5000 a
year, being considered sufficient for this
purpose in each case. Bartholdi said the
scheme was an excellent one, and that it
would do much TO elevate the artistic
level in the United States. He added that
if the scheme contemplates a s~ojourn
anywhere in Europe their %sojourn should
be in Paris and not in Italy. Paris, Bar
tholdi claims, is the art centre of the
world, and here, in future should be The
American prix de Paris. American stu
dents are sure of a hearty welcome.
Referring to the delay in constructing
buildings for the Worlds fair in Chicago,
Bartholdi said the time before the open
ing Of the fair was 80 short he had aban-
doned his intention to offer an exhibit
An artiet, he said, cannot work under
pressure. There il much that Is really
injurious in the progress of fine arts in
the United States in the favorite Ameri'
can passion to do things quickly. The
great international fair should grow
slowly and carefully If it is to be a grand
artistic success. The rapidly with
which preparations for the exhibition OF
1893 must be made must be credited the
weakest side of the undertaking, namely
danger of being crude.
Bartholdi is at present engaged in Civ
ing tine finishing touches upon d grouE

STILL ANOTHER ENTERPRISE.
The Butte & Montana CONNIE rcial Com.
pany's New Saw Mill.

The Butte & Montana CONNIE rcial Com
pany's Now Saw Mill.
An undertaking that will rebound to
the material wealth of Great Falls and
indirectly to the adjacent country, is the
new saw mill now being erected by the
Butte q Montana Commercial company
on the rivers bank in the northern part
of town, just below the railroad trestle
bridge. The company has already erected
a machine shop, two stables and a mess
room and immense timbers now bestrew
the ground Ill the vicinity waiting to be
placed in position for the main building,
which will be 60x128 feet. In this build
ing will be placed two circular saws, one
edger, one trimmer, and a lath and a
single saw. With this equipment the
proprietors feel confident of being able
to turn out from 49, 900 to 100000 feet of
lumber daily if necessary, and about co.
900 lath.
In addition to the main building there
is yet to be erected the boiler house, 36x
81, which will be filled up with a 400
horse power Allis-C orless engine and six
boilers 2Ox5O. This will furnish the
motive power for the plant.
The machinery has all been contracted
for and it Is expected here about the
latter part of March. The company Is
now engaged in putting in piers, some six
teen of which will be required to prop
erly secure the logs. Side tracks are
also being laid, or were last Thursday
and it is to be hoped the present colo
snap will not delay the work of construc
ton very long.
When completed and in good %runnin!
order the mill will furnish employment
to about 1876 men
The whole is to be under the superln
tendency of W. E. Bagley, a veteran
mill wright, who arrived in Great Fall
Friday.

DeplorabIy Poor Condition.
KANSAS CITY, Jan. 30.-W. S. Shrimp,
of Lizard township, Rawlins county, Kan
sas, was in the city today soliciting aid
for the destitute farmers of his county.
He says the people of that township are

many of them nave neither clothing, food
nor fuel. He says they will be unable to
withstand the rigors Of winter and will
freeze and starve to death without assist
ance. They were unable to raise any
corn last summer and their rattle, pigs and
chickens are dying of starvation. Many
families have been obliged TO burn their
furniture for fuel. Shrimp today col
lected enough money here to buy IL car
load of flour and it will lie shipped i'm
mediately to the suffering people. The
Rock Island railroad is giving free trans

The Air Ship.

CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-Last night vas the
time set for the first practical test of the
much talked of Mount Carmel air ship.
Quite a crowd of newspaper men and
others having special invitations gathered
at the exposition building. When the
doors of the main hall were finally
opened the curious spectators saw high
above their heads floating about in APP
parently aimless fashion, a strange cigar
shaped craft, au uncanLy looking object
in the dim light of the great room. AT
ter considerable bobbing around and
a bound or two toward the roof, the model
was hauled down and the exhibition was
prematurely over. Inventor Harrington
gloomily claimed that tomorrw there
would be mo hitch" He said the
storage battery was inSutIiciently charged
and the propeller instead of having a vo-
loclty of 240 revolutions a minute had
only 210.

ing Of mavericks, was referred to, and the
statement made that the speaker did not
think the law was worth the paper 1t was
written on because under it a man might
be deprived OF his property without due
process of law.
He then proceeded to sum up the evil
dence in the case from the beginning to
the close. His entire speech lasted oyer
four hours and did not close until nearly
10 O'Clock in the evening.
The judge charged the Jury IN the reg
ulation manner, as II reasonable doubt,
venue, etc. The instructor IN relation
to the recent possession of stolen proper
ty, one of the most important points in
the case, was as follows:
The possession of recently stolen prop
erty is usually regarded in law as a crimi-
mating circumstance, strongly tending to
show that the possessor stole the prop
erty, unless the facts and circumstances
surrounding or connected with such pos
session, or other evidence. explains or
shows that such possession might have
been acquired honestly. In this case, If
the jury believe from the evidence, be-
yond a reasonable doubt, that the prop
erty described in the indictment. was
stolen. and that the defendant was found
IN the possession of the property soon al
ter it was stolen, the such possession is,
in law, a strong eliminating circumstance,
tending to show the guilt Of the defend
ant. unless the evidence and the facts and
circumstance proved show that he may
have come honestly in the possession of
the same.
1t was after 10 O'Clock when the jury
finally retired. They Immediately pro
ceeded to take a ballot, which resulted in
nine for conviction aud three for acquittal
After some discussion OF the merits of the
case a second vote was taken, which re
suited in ten for conviction and two for
acquittal. BallottinP, with this result, was
continued until II O'Clock, when there
was a unanimous vote Tor conviction. At
half-past IL the court was reconvened
and the prisoner and Jury brought into
the court room.
OF the prisoners counsel, John Charles
Thompson and Mr.. Raynor were present,
and for the prosecution Attorneys Stoll
and Davidson. Tie Jury found McKin-
ney guilty of stealing property to the
value of 500. The penalty is imprison
mcnt not under one year or over ten
years. Mckinney received the verdict
with apparent composure. He had SAID
on Wednesday evening that be feared the
verdict was going to be against him. The
case will be appealed to the supreme court.

A letter from Los Angeles, Cal, says
that a unique piece of engineering is be-
ing completed on the Sante Fe line,
through the Cajon pass. that will take
rank with the famous Tehachapi loop on
the Southern Pacific. 1t amounts in eff
feet to roofing over the mountain.
Much trouble was experienced last win
ter on account of the landslides in this
pass, which kept the line blockaded
most of the time, and to obviate this
difficulty this work was designed.
1t consists of a series of terraces, four
m number, rising up from the track
where the cut is deepest, excavated so
as to break the force of the water com
ing down the slope, and carrying it off
laterally by a series of wooden conduits
and surface drains. These terraces
range from 800 to 500 feet in length.
measuring in the aggregate 1900 feet,
and are all rooted over. An army of
men and teams have been at work for
some months.

An enterprising trunk maker has made
a very striking application of electricity
for the advertisement of his wares. In
the front of his store he has erected a
pedestal of polished brass, surmounted
by a framework, representing the usual
trimmings of an ordinary trunk. Inside
this framework is placed a trunk of bev-
eled French plate glass, which is illum-
med in the evening by electric light,
and which constitutes an unique method
of advertising. The main part of the
sign is spiral in design, and is of solid
brass, excepting a small hole through
the center to pass electric wires through,
and on the base of the structure is CON
sp%icuously inscribed the name of the

tiser.

cowboys and all but one young squaw
was killed. This poor woman was shot
through both hips and in the breast.
Nothing was known of the affair until
late last evening, when the woman crawled
into Gen. Cars camp, a mile and a halt
southeast of the agency. The fight must
have taken place some days ago, as the
poor creature crawled the whole distance,
something over a hundred miles. How
large the attacking force was can not be
learned. All that can be gotten from her
is that they wore fur caps"

trouble would ensue, but 1t caused very
