BARRIERS, TAKE WARNING.

BAkbEkS, TAKE WARNING.
Too Much Gossip May Result In Driving
OF Custom.
While ] was speaking to the sergeant in
charge of a police station on the east side,
one evening recently, the usual crowd of
homeless wanderers began to drift in from
the dark chilly streets in search of a nights
lodging, says a writer in the New York Tel
egram. Among them was a little old man
whose wizened face, which looked as
though a million wrinkles had become in
extsicebly tangled up with his sharp fea-
lures, at once attracted my attention. His
manner was strangely silent and reserved.
He asked for an all-night shelter by an ap
pealing look, but he spoke no word, and he
acted like n who would never willingly
speak again.
The old man was we'll known by the SER
geant who, in answer to my questions, said:
''The queer little man, whom you consider
Il marvel of silence, WAS once the nimblest-
tongued man in town. He was known as the
talkative barber, and his loquacity brought
him where he is to-day. Many years ago,
when the old mar had a thriving shop in a
downtown thoroughfare it was GUS
tomary for BARRIERS to regale their custom
ers with gossip and opinions upon the top
les of the day. and tho infiction was good
naturally endured. There came a change,
however, Mt the close of the war of the ie-
bellion, u mad race for money making II
sued which loft no time for idle talk. The
minutes grudRinRly passed under the
barber's hands were given to quiet
reflection. The shrewd BARRIERS took
the hint, and in silence swiftly
shaved their impatient customers. Bat the
old mNN Vpnu ne thn nvNavtin~o IL,
talked and chatted AZ formerly, and his GUS
toners gradually fell away from him, SO
that no had to seek humber quarters on an
East Side th~oroughfare. There he talked
harder than ever, and proved too much for
tho patience of the sturdy mechanics and
and trndesmen of the ne~ighborhood. Com
tinued ill-luck drove him to drink, aud now
he liz friend!ess and homeless. When all
was lost he realized tho cause of it, and for
years he has been known to his fellow I'M
as the silent man."

Address to the stenocraphers.

Chief Justice Blake delivered an address
before the Helena Stenographer's a~ssocia-
ton last night. There was a large
audience made up of writer's OF the
leading systems Of shorthand now in
use. The judge said that in other ad-
dresses Oh public occasions he had assumed
that his knowledge of the matter under
consideration WAS at the lowest estimate
equal to that of the average listener. But
these favorable conditions we're reversed.
he stood before an audience of the gradu-
ates of the schools which teach the marvel
GUS art Of preserving every sound of the
human voice by a written sign, and he ac-
knowledged that his proper station was at
the foot of the GLASS. The judge studied
the art from one of Benn Pitman's manuals
printed in 1855. He has used shorthand
1866 and never regrets the time he
spent in mastering the elements of the sys-
tenn. A sketch was given of the history of
the art in Montana and it's adoption in the
for the purpose of preserving testi-
mony. The audience was an unusually in
terested one and highly pleased with the
judges remarks.

Judge Sanders held VIM. Nelson yesterday
to appear before the district court. He
concluded after looking up the law that
he had no jurisdiction in determining the
case against Nelson. All the testimony in
the case was taken down by n ~stenographer
and reduced to writing. Nelson's bono was
fixed at $500. His friends raised the
security last evening aud Nelson
was set at liberty. Efforts are being
made to bring about a generalization be-
tween Nelson and Christina Haeglin.
The Clore street colored woman who
burned the wig OF Il colored sister has made
herself conspicuous by her absence. She
became frightened lest the law would deal
severely with her and yesterday she left for
parts unknown. No warrant had been
issued for arrest.

On Tuesday Kathleen M%avourneen will

There is lots of fun going on anent the
Raymond avenue electric line in st. An

like game of chess.
First-The citizens league made a
move placing itself On record as opposed
to it.
Move-The leagues execu-
tive committee went and took up the
matter with Mr.. Lowry privately.
Third Move-The citizens league
again placed itself on record by vote
of % to II as unalterably opposed to the
line, and called halt on its executive
committee.
Fourth Move-Taken Tuesday night,
when the executive committee brought
into the council meeting petition for
the Raymond avenue line, together with
Mr. Lowry's request to be released from
the LangfOrd avenue line.
The next, or fifth, move Is now in Or
der. 1t now looks as though MIR. Lowry
and the executive committee will be
successful, in spite of large majority
of property owners all along the liue
not in st. Anthony Park 0nly-who
are opposed to the abandonment of the
Langford avenue line. The council
committee on streets will be the battle
held now for these opposing factors.

ONE MERCHANTS VIEW.
Believes in Pleasing Himself in
the Matter OF Early Closing.

Believes in Pleasing Himself in
the Matter OF Early Closing.
l have been much amused, l cannot
say instructed, writes prominent mer-
chant, by the communications of several
busybodies in the issues of your paper
and that Of your contemporaries during
the last few days concerning the subject
of early closing. After perusing the
articles above referred to, | feel that
possibly few words from prominent
representative of the merchants who do
not comply with the early-closing agree
ment may be Of interest as a further en-
lightenment of the public mind on this
question. The several correspondents
in question seem to believe in liberal
policy toward clerks. Well, l don't,
and l am sure that voice the senti-
mentS of all my brother merchants who
keep open their stores in the evenings
when L take issue with them. Why,
what do we employ clerks for if not to
attend to business during such hours as
we choose to keep our stores open? |
hear arguments adduced relative to the
moral, social and intellectual condition
of our help. as though that makes any
difference to us. These interferrs take
a very narrow view of this thing
from a business mans standpoint.
In the language of the gentleman from
Texas, "What are we here for?" We
employ our clerks and pay them their
wages; if they are not satisfied they can
sever the bonds.
A good deal of this talk about clerks
using their evenings for mental i'm
provement, ETC., is all bosh. The time
is simply wasted, and the opportunity
given them for squandering their money
in foolish pursuit after pleasure. My
experience is that statesmen who have
SO much time at their disposal almoat
invariably drift into drinking or other
extravagant habits; hence, l oppose
early closing, both on the ground of
economy and morality. In conclusion,
| wish it to be known as my opinion
that those merchants who do close early
do so as a matter of policy, and not of
principle. hope that this subject has
been placed before the public mind as it
should be, from business mans stand

PerniciOus Practice,

Pernicious Practice.
Judge Kerr has filed an order in the
cause of Sofus L. Press against Gustav
Wesley and Emma E. Wesley and the
Edison Electric Light and Pow er Com
pany as garnishee. The motion to dis
miss the garnlshment proceeding is de-
MED, but the time for taking the dis
closure is shortened and fixed for May
30. Judge Kerr says that a pernicious
practice has grown up Of putting the
time of taking the disclosure so far
ahead that hardship is done the prin-
cipal defendant, who usually has Alright
to exempt large part or all of the
wages garnished. 1t is the province of
court to look at the rights Of the labor
ing man in such cases and shortening
the time for taking the disclosure, so
that his wages may not be tied up an
unreasonable length of time beyond the
twenty days allowed the garnishee to
answer.

ANDREWS JIM-JAMs.
Claimed He Had Snakes in His
Stomach


Andrew Knudson, laborer thirty-six
years old, was taken into custody yes
terday afternoon at the union depot by
Officer Dougherty, for being drunk and
disorderly. He was sent to police head
quarters and locked in a cell, but as
soon as evening set in he devel-
oped into most pronounced case
of ''jim-jams," otherwise known as de-
llrum tremens. He insisted IN yelling
that he had snakes in his stomach and
begged for bread, milk and butter to
feed the reptiles with. He rushed up
and down his cell in furious manner.
and when the officers opened the door
in order to convey him to the county
jail he yelled. "You are going to take
me out and shoot me-" His crazy antics
alarmed the inmates of the other cells,
but eventually he was handcuffed and
taken in the patrol wagon to the Jail,
where he was placed in a straight
jacket.
