A Priestly Curcr of Ills.

Another miracle worker has recently
come into prominence in this vicinity.
He is "A Catholic priest without "A parish,
and the medical fraternity attribute his
alleged cures to Imagination, which, "a
all doctors know, is worth tons of medi-
cine in many cases. 1t seems an eStab-
lishcd fact, however, that a man who
for years has been tortured with respi-
ration several times as rapid as the
normal, and vino had consulted many
eminent physicians without relief, got
rid of his trouble between dawn and
dark of a single day after an application
of prayer and holy relics, and that all of
his ailing acquaintance have ever since
kept the priests door ajar, some of them
going away in the belief that they have
been permanently benefited.
The worker Of these alleged cures,
who attributes his success to divine aid,
is II stalwart man Of fifty years. man
of the kind whom the weak and credu-

their nerves and muscles would allow
and if he has compelled a lot of hypo-

their own control he has done a great

Copper Stocks.

The Engineering and Mining journal
gives the following resume of the Boston
Copper Stock market for the week end
ing May >:
"The market for copper stocks during
the past week shows a slight improve
mcnt in prices, but the volume of bust
ness continues to be small and without
any special speculative feature. The
Montana group of stocks are the most
active indeed, without them there
would be verv little to encourage Oper
ators but they furnish the groundwork
Of dealings, while the Lake Superior
stocks suffice to fill up.
Boston e. Montana advanced to Sl2i,
at one time during the week, being an
advance of 81 over last weeks closing,
but the rise did not hold and the price
receded to Sll !, at which it was barely
steady.
Butte sold up to sl2i., declining to

STOOD THE TEST WELL
The New Fifteenth Street Bridge
Accepted by the County
commissioners.
The Bridge Subjected TO Severe
Test and Regarded AZ
Fine Structure.

The new Fifteenth street bridge is all
right and is one OF the finest structures
of ITS kind in the state. The bridge was
tested Tuesday by City Engineer NJ. S.
Parker and the county commissioners
and found to be all that its most en-
thusiastic friend and advocate had
/ claimed. The bridge vas built by the
Wrought Iron Bridge company and put
up and superintended by II. j. Wilson. a
well known bridge builder. 1t is LOCO
feet long and is divided into nine spans.
Six of the latter are 100 feet in length,
one 132, and at each ind are y foot can
%tilever bitches. The average height of
the bridge above the bottom of the river
is 20 feet, though in N place near the
western end the height is 63 feet. The
roadway is 20 feet, which will afford
ample room for teams to pass. On tho
upstream side of the bridge there is a
six-foot sidewalk. Work on the struct
ure was commenced February and the
bridge was completed last week.
The testing of the structure consisted
of driving ten teams hauling about
thirty or thirty five tons Of dirt on the
bridge. Each span was tested separately
| and under the strain of this enormous
weight it was found that the larger
| spans settled One-fourth of an inch. The
shorter spans settled three cighths of an
inch. The bridge being new the spans
would naturally settle more at the first
test than at any future test and Engi-
neer Parker regarded the result of yes.
terday's test as perfectly satisfactory. II
the bridge should again be tested today
the settlement would not be so much,
since the heavy loads of dirt forced
Everything into place. The commission
ers accepted the bridge and it is now
open to the public.
The completion of this, the
second wagon and foot bridge
across the Missouri at this point
means a great deal for Great Falls. The
new bridge brings the city INTO close

(Copyrfoht, 1892. by the United Press)
NEW YORK, March 12.-Jay Gould is
the most important man in New York.
Every time he sneers Wall street shivers
and stocks drop half point.
When Mr. Gould takes cold there is dan
ger OF panic on the stock exchange. As
his pulse goes up stocks 60 down. When
he takes dose Of quinine the market re-
mains stationary until he sneezes again. IL
he is late to breakfast, a rumor flies TO Wall
street that his cold has taken a bad turn
and there is a rush TO sell stocks.
When DR.. Mum calls to see the wizard
stocks 90 down as long as he remains In the
house. If Gould should take the grip it
would affect every money market in the
world. His death would unsettle values,
depress business and increase the rate OF in
terest on money for months all over the
United States and in the principal cities of
Europe. No wonder Wall street shivers
when the great financier sneezes.

and finance. A pulse of 80 means dull trade.

Truly Jay Gould is a great man.
WILL NOT DIE TOGETHER.
One of the large Wall street banking
houses is owned by two brothers, who built
up the business from a small beginning, and
have managed it for many years.
These men have a morbid fear that they
will be killed in an accident OF some kind.
Years ago they entered into an agreement
never to ride together 80 that II one of them
should be killed in a wreck the other would
be spared TO carry on the business. They
have never violated this agreement. They
walk together to the platform of
the elevated road station, but
one waits for a later train, aud they
ride up town on different trains. They never
ride together in a carriage, and never go on
railroad journey at the same time. II is
the only superstition or fad they have, but
nothing can induce them TO violate this
rule.
