A wicked Choir.

Minister (after a vacation)-@How
was the singing while was away?"
Worshipper- the choir did won-
derfully. The music was divine. At
times the whole sanctuary seemed
bathed in celestial harmonies which
lifted up our souls until we seemed to
see the flood of light about the golden
gates and hear the heavenly orches-
tras attuned to the music of the
spheres"
Minister (aghast)-"Horrors! They

HELP THE A

The season Of outdoor sport in Mon
tana will fairly commence next Satur-
day, when the first games Of the Mon
tana state league will be played. 1t is
a good time to remember that the team
in this city can only be maintained by
the loyal support of all. The organiza-
ton OF a state league OF base ball clubs
was a venture requiring considerable
pluck. The distance between cities,
the expense of carrying large teams,
were serious %handicaps to promises
of a successful season. The men who
gave their time and money to tho organ-
ization Of the Helena club we're ami
mated by tho spirit Of local pride rather
than the prospect of financial success
A good team has been secured, the fine
base ball park is conveniently located,
and now it is the duty of our citizens tc
encourage the club by attending the
games.
Helena has been unfortunate in the
past in the way of summer amusements
The theater is then closed and there are
no popular resorts within easy reach OK.
cept the Broadwater. The season Of
base ball should be greeted with Joy no
only by all lovers of the national game
but all citizens as we'll. The players are
expected to win the pennant, and t,
that end Il people can do much in tn,
way Of encouragement.

The Hon. levi p. MoRroN may

The Hon. levi p. Morton may be
a very successful banker and a very
good vice-president, but he is certainly
a pitiful failure as a landlord. The
other day he furnished at HIS hotel a lot
Of luscious cream pnffs for his guests.
Cream puffs are very pleasant eating
and doubtless all fortunate enough
to stop at the vloe-president's inn
we're for a time quite delighted. The
result was not 50 pleasant. ES-Gov-
ernor McCreary, Of Kentucky, had a
queer turn aftor dinner, and in a few
minutes some thirty Or more guests
were requiring the attention OF a ply
siclan. tt afterwards developed that
the pastry contained %tyrotoxicon. There
is an impression around the hotel that
Mr.. Morton should throw UP the vice
presidency and attend to his duties as
landlord or turn over the hotel to a
other man.

HARRISON IN NEW YORK.

Probably Harrison will have a MAJOR
ity OF all tho delegates elected to the
Minneapolis convention and will re-
| ceiye the nomination. Yet it is a fact
a stubborn, potential fact-that the re-
publlcans Of the great pivotal state Of
New York not only have not instructed
their delegates to vote for him, but have
expressed the deliberate, well-matured
Judgment that he could not carry New
York or win the election for o second
term. Neither Platt nor Warner Miller,
the leaders Of the rival factions Of
the party, regards Mr.. Harrison's re-
nomination as wise or safe. Elk
Congressman Burleigh, a delegate to
the Minneapolis convention and one Of
the shrewdest politicians in New York,
says Harrison would be beaten by 5O,-
900 votes in the Emlpre state by any
good democrat. Congressman Ketchum,
of the Po'keepsie district, says his dis
trict could not possibly be carried by
Harrison, and other leaders bear similar
testimony. These men have no personal
differences with the president; they
simply declare their convictions as
practical politicians that Harrison would
be weak as a second term candidate
weaker than any other man. Repeated
visits to New York by secretaries Elkins
and Tracy have produced no change in
the views Of these men. They say they
speak the voice Of their people and that
New York does not want Harrison.
The prospect for an organized move
ment to defeat the presidents renomi-
nation is not good. The New Workers
probably will give their sullen %acquies-
cence to the inevitable and do the best
they can under the circumstances.
And how about the president? The

"The president and his friends are Sc
renely indifferent to these statements.
For the first time since the presidents
eventful speech, after his election in
1888, to the effect that republicans
should not give so much attention tc
carrying New York, the true meaning o.
his utterances was understood. In
word the national republican commit
teemen have been mads to understand
by the president and his advisers tina.
he can carry New York state easily be,
cause Of the opposition of the Cleveland
men to the regularly organized demo
Gratis of the state, and that he has ex-
pected just such a state OF affairs evel
since 1888. So he has been turning tn,
cold shoulder to republicans in New
York, relying upon the Cleveland move
mont to split the democracy Of the EN-
pire state. These were the declaration
OF eminent republicans last night"
| But is the rest of the republica
party blind to the fact that New Yor
is the pivot on which success turns?

BUFFALO, Wyo., May 11.-Another sssassi-
nation, believed to be due to stock troubles,
was reported to-day. While coming from
tina Fl o f ranch, on Powder river, with
Thomas Hathaway, George Whitman was
shot from abush and instantly killed.
Hathaway, fearing for his own life,s and
knowing that Whitman was dead, came at
once to this city and reported the affair.
He says he heard two rife shots, but saw
no signs of the persons committing the
crime. Whitman was foreman of the Fl O
E ranch, and was we'll liked. No definite
cause for the murder is known. Sheriff
Angus, the coroner and a representative Of
the local lodge of which Whitman WAS a
member, left at once for the scene of the

The Pecos Valley Railroad.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. May 11.,-It has tran
ssired that Jay Gould's protracted visit is
not solely for his health. The annual
meeting OF the Pecos Valley railroad stock
holders is held here and it is currently re-
ported that the road has passed into Gould's
control. Thu officers refuse to talk upon
the subject. but there ia no doubt there is a
deal of some kind on. This road is in
operation from Pecos. Texas, to Eddy, N.
NJ, heading for Albuquerque, whore it will
meet the road to Durango, and thus make
q through line from Galveston to Seattle.
The possession of this road will give Gould
control of all the trade OF southeastern
