GENERAL PERSONAL MENTION.

Roger q. Mills and John G. Carlisle
are said to be congenial spirits and in
innate friends.
Archdeacon Farrar maintains that it
is only an ignorant theology that can as
sumo science to be hostile to religion.
Charles Hamlin, a grandson of the
late Hannibal Hamlin,. is doing news
paper work on the New, York Adpertiser.
John Boyle O'Reilly's monument will
soon be assured if subscriptions keep
coming in as at present. The grand
total now is Sic, ,509,9O.
The German emperor's sons picked up
love for angling while in England re-
Gently, and this is now one of their fav-
orite diversions at Pottsdam.
One fact which rendered that story OF
project to import an Englishman for
pastor of Trinity church, Boston, i'm
probable, is that DIR. Brooks is intensely
American himself.
Peter the Great was a man of heroic
build and rugged disposition. This may
be why he built himself great city in
the frozen North. In the CITY of st.
Petersburg it began to freeze at the end
of October and a general thaW rarely
takes place before the beginning of
April.
A recent visitor to Ibsen found him in
a shabby dressing gown buttoned over
gray trousers. On his feet were felt slip
pers, and his hair was in great disorder,
as were his big side-whiskers. His face
appears comical at first sight, but there
is line of satire between his clean
shaven lips.
Professor Ferrucclo Busoni, the Rus
sian pianist who left the imperial con-
servatory at Moscow to join the faculty
of the New England Conservatory of
music at Boston, is but twenty-five years
old, but has been before the public for
eighteen years. He made his first ap-
pearance as an infant prodigy.
John Ruskin has made record as a
hydraulic engineer by solving for the in
habitants of Fixing, a small town in
Sussex, England, the problem of obtain
ing an adequate supply of drinking
water. AS an evidence of their graft
tude the people have erected a tablet 'eto
the glory of God and in honor to John
Ruskin.

fitted up to serve the purposes of round
house, store room and shop. The better
building will serve for an office and resi-
dence, if need be, for the conductor, or
agent. These three buildings cost $3.50
which is not more than the worth of the
best one. The buildings are furnished
with an abundance of water brought
from a fifty-foot level, a distance of
1900 feet, The system cost, with hose
and equipments complete about $1,000.
A wharf boat has been built for the
western terminus. 1t is 30x130 feet. 1t
was built by contract by the Portland
Bridge & Building Company, under the
superintendance of Mr.. T. w. Walsh.
The price was $3.50. According to the
estimate of Lieut.. Burr, the boat weighed
when launched about ITO tons. Her ex-
terror gunwales are made of 6x16 and
6x14 timbers, six feet deep, bolted
through and through every four feet.
The bottom planking is 3x12, the kielson
6x16, bulk-heads 4x12 bolted through
and through every four feet. The floor
tinbers are 6x6 and 6x1O. The deck
planks are 2x6 and 1x4 on top with
tarred paper between.
There are twelve fiat and four box
cars of fifteen tons capacity, all oak sills
and trussbearings and furnished with
Westinghouse automatic air brakes on
every wheel. The cars are as good as
are made for the gauge. They cost at
the factory $4,000, including extras of all
kinds. The locomotive cost at the lac
tory $44S0 and is said to be the very best
built by the Baldwin Locomotive Com
pany. 1t has the best modern improve
ments. 1t is expected to arrive any
moment after tomorrow. Meanwhile
Major Handbury has kindly given the
use, when not needed on the govern
ment works, of one of the government
donkey locomotives and with this con-
siderable amount of freight has been
transferred during the past three days.
1t may be mentioned that besides the
switch tracks already referred to each
terminal has double track, one nearly
1910 feet in length and the other about
500 feet. These double tracks and
switches are intended to facilitate the
handling of freight and enable loading
and unloading to go on at the same
time. Taken as whole there is abun-
dant evidence that the state appropria-
tion has been judiciously and economi-
cally expended.

When newspaper descends from
legitimate journalism to become black
mailing sheet, it is time for all decent
men to repudiate it, When our evening
contemporary says that the appointment
of Mr.. Farley to be superintendent of
construction of the portage road was
supposed to have been procured
through the influence of Hon. d. P.
Thompson he states what he kno,Ds to
be utterly false. No man in The Dalles,
not even the editor of the Times Noun
tain. er, believes it. There is not. a man
in Oregon, outside the state lunatic asy-
lum capable of believing it. d. p.
Thompson entreating Governor Pen
noyer, after the close. of bitter personal
political campaign. in which Thorn pson
was badly worsted, in behalf of the ap-
pointment of 6. S. Farley! BAH The
man who could stoop to use the paper
which an inscrutable providence has
placed in his hands to thus stab fell
lowrcitizen because the fellow-citizen
licked him in municipal and political
contest is low enough to stoop to any
thing.

We publish in another column the
answer of G. J. Farley to the scurrilous
attack that was made on him bv an
anonymous correspondent in the pages
OF the OregoniGn, couple of days ago.
We also publish an accurate and truth
full description of the progress of the
work on the portage road, under the
management of Superintendent Farley
as seen yesterday with our own ewes.
Enough is said by way of answer to the
OregOnaGn correspondent when it is
known that the work will be finished
the road constructed and equipped in
good style within the means appro-
priated by the legislature. But the
CHRONICLE is in possession of some facts
that do not appear in Mr.. Farley's ans
wer. The name sent in to the Oreqonian
as the ostensible author of the letter in
question is that of man who was dis
charged twice from the works by two
different foreman; beyond this we care
to say nothing at present, further than
that the friends of this person, in his
absence deny the writing is in his hand,
and express the belief that, while he
may have allowed his name to be used.
the real author is some other person who
wished to stab Mr.. Farley in the back.
Some of the charges are SO Ridiculous
that they carry their own refutation. All
the lumber used, cost laid down on the
ground S9.S719 a thousand. There could
be no room for commission to the pur-
chasing agent at that price. The same
is true of the steel rails. They cost at
the rolling mills SOL go ton. The ties
cost % cents each, laid down. The price
of the cars and locomotive is given in
another place. But enough. The port
age commissioners are thoroughly FAM
liar with the work done as well as with
the animus of this attack on Mr.. Far
ley. They have no hesitation in pro-
nouncing the charges as false in every
particular. If the author of them will
only acknowledge them as his, he will
get all the chances he may desire, and
several more to prove them.

KNOPPs AND LEHMAN.

Translation from the Stats Zeitung
herman.
Lehman: Referring to our converse
tion yesterday, Knopps, have since read
in the Old Testament that seven lean
cows swallowed seven fat cows, and re-
manned as before, and i fully believe it,
too.
Knopps: Now, Lehman, this story is
too tough for me.
Lehmann: But, Knopps, when you
consider that one commissioner swallowed
three others and a county judge, and
looks the same as ever, there is nothing
In the Bible story to be wondered at. Be-
sides all these were not lean. Three OF
these had already grown fat i'm Office. and
the fourth was already fat when he came
into Office.
Knopps: Good gracious, Lehman! II
we only had a Joseph TO expOund this
riddle for us.
Lehmann: Don't worry yourself about
that. We have a Joseph, right fat one,
too;-and if you would ask him, he could
probably give you the correct explana-
tion of this modern miracle;- Pharoa,
the king, is also handy to give the inter-
probation to you.
Knopps: begin to believe the bible
myself, now.
lehman: Well, it's about time you
became converted.

a MIS-

A mistake is often made by persons in
need of medical treatment, In not placing
their case into the hands of specialist,
as it stands to reason hat doctor max
ing a speciality of a certain line Of diseases
is more competent than the family physi-
clan or general practitioner who tries to
cover the whole field of Medicine and
Surgery. DR.. J. n. HATHAWAY, of
this city, is a true specialist in his line.
A regular graduate from one of the best
colleges in America, as his diploma shows;
he also has had large experience in lead
ing hospitals and at Hot Springs, Ark,
therefore, if you seek his advice you are
sure of getting the BEST.

WASHINGTON, hay 12.-[Special. "A
dispatch WAS received to-day from Chicago.
which states that DIR. G. X. Cole u lending
citizen OF Helena. Mont, received a letter
from Washington, at the Auditorium ho-
tel yesterday, which stated that Secretary
Noble would resign in n compile Of months,
and Thomas II. Carter, Of Helena, would be
the new secretary of the interior. Both
Secretary Noble and Land Commissioner
Carter are out of the city, but at the interior
department the story is considered to be
without foundation. Some weeks ago q
similar statement WAS made by paper in
this city, and at that time the officials re-
ferred to did not consider the report worth
contradiction. The officials at the
interior department do not believe
that there has been any change
in the situation since that time. Apersonal
friend of Commissioner Carter is RESPONSE
bic for the statement that the commissioner
said that the proposed change had never
been suggested. Director Of the Mint
Leech, who Is personal friend and politi-
cal ally of Commissioner Carter said to-
day that these statements we're very embar-
RAISING to Mr.. Carter, and that the COM
missioner did not aspire to be a cabinet Of
ticer. There is no good reason to believe
that Secretary Noble will retire from the
interior department. Commissioner Car
ter will be in st. Paul Wednesday morning
on his way to Helena to be absent from
Washington, for about three weeks.

What Shall We Buy?

Why, boys clothing, of course,
and if you haven't boys OF your
own, present them to your more
fortunate neighbor. They're so
cheap-you will smile when you
hear the prizes. Our Mr.. Ben
Harris, on his recent eastern
visit, bought lot of goods from
a. manufacturer who is retiring
from the trade, at far below the
cost of production, and we will
to-day sell these goods to our
friends and patrons at prices less
than those at which any dealer in
Helena owns them. Prices sim
ply ridiculous. We do not make
the claim to be as low but we
claim to UNDERsELL any dealer
in Helena. We have a line of
Children's Suits from $3.50 to So
that we claim no dealer will offer
you within SO per cent. of the
prices we name.
You can form no idea of their
merit unless you see them, and if
won't come to see them you will
miss the greatest set of bargains
ever offered in Helena.

CHOTEAU COUNTY AFFAIRS.
A Fort Benton Man Offers to Wager Ac-
countant Browns Report Is Wrong.

Fort Benton Man Offers to Wager Ac-
countant Browns Report Is Wrong.
FoRT BENTON, May 11.-THE INDEPEND-
ENT.-I enclose an editorial from the Daily
River Press on Barnard Browns alleged
expert report on the financial condition of
Choteau March /. 1891, and in order that
the alleged expert may prove the correct
ness of his report, will wager him $1,000
that his report of the condition of the sinking g
fund; his report of disbursements; his rs-
port of cash on hand; his report of out
standing warrants on the general fund;
contingent fund; road fund and poor fund,
ia absolutely false
If there is one thing more than another
that an expert report ought to show. it is a
correct statement of the nnanoial condition
of the county, and in order to do so, he
must correctly report cash on hand and
the amount of outstanding warrants on the
several funds.
This Mr.. Brown hiss not done. l find
there Is difference of near $1,000
between him and the county clerk in the
items herein noted alone, to say nothing
about errors in every part of his statement,
from beginning to end, 80 that as the River
Press truly says, "his report is absolutely
worthless and not worth the paper it's
written on" If Mr.. Browo is SO confident
of the correctness of his report let him
take up my wager and l will place the
money in the hands of Arthur Z. Dicker-
man, cashier of the First National bank of
Great Falls.
If MIR. Browns ability as an accountant
is measured by his alleged expert report,
now on file in the county clerks Office here,
there is no question as to his ipcompetency.

Secretary Tracy Says the Charleston Can
Whip the Es,neralda.
B1NaHAMpToN, N. y, May 12.-Secretary
Tracy is in the city. In an interview with
reporter Tonight he talked about the
ltata incident. He secuted the idea
that the Charleston is inferior to the
Esmeralda. True, the Esmerala carried
two nine inch guns, while the Charleston's
heavist guns were only eight inch, but the
latter had larger number of six inch guns.
W hile her armament is four inches thick
and the Esmeralda's only one and one half
i nches. The Charleston Is, accordingly.
fully able to cope with the Esmeralda. as
are the two other United States cruisers
now ON the Pacific. The secretary stated
definitely that the Charleston IL has orders to
capture the Itsta wherever she may be
found upon the high seas. He did not an
ticipate fight, but in case of resistance
the United States cruiser would carry out
orders at all hazards. He was not at liberty
to state the exact text of the cipher dispatch
sent to the Charleston. nett her would he
say definitely if the cru User San Francisco,
now in Chilian waters, had been ordered to
intercept the ltata.

MONTANA RACES.
Half-TariT Rate Conceded for Passengers

Half-Tariff Rate Conceded for Passengers

ANACONDA. Mont. May r. Special. J.
Last February. at a meeting of the Mon
tana Racing association held in this city, a
committee was appointed to confer with
the railroad companies with view to se-
curing special rates for owners who pro-
pose to ship horses from the east or else
where to the Montana circuit. The CORES
pondence was mainly intrusted to M. Dono-
hue, traffic manager for the Anaconda
company, and to-day, Mr.. Donohue an
nounces that he is advised by the traffic
officials of the Northern Pacific.
Union Pacific, Great Northern,
and Montana Union railroads
that they will make half-tarif rate from
any point on their respective lines for the
transportation of passengers and race
horses attending the meetings of the diff
ferent racing associations. The Southern
Pacific has been asked to do likewise and
will probably comply
