WAS HE

Peter McDermott has been lodged
in the Meagher county Jail. He shot
Bill Marine in Barker eight years
ago and escaped from the country.
He has many friends hereabouts who
all testify to his reputation for hon
esty and honor. Since his capture,
letters from Buffalo, Wyo., where he
was living, state that he was a good
and orderly citizen and that he has
acquired a good deal of property.
Some one, with malicious intent, has
been sending libelous letters over the
state to different individuals o%stensi-
bly, to make him out a villain. The
shooting, if reports are true was
purely in selfdefense and when the
trial comes off some startling testim-
ony will probably be given. In the
prosecution of this case it is hoped,
for the sake of his friends, that
no prejudice will be enforced by
the statements circulated by the op-
posite side.

Horace Greeley's Daughter.

In her new home at Westchester,

her sphere of usefulness somewhat

has any number of guilds and organi-

tiful church all classes and conditions
of wealth and poverty, and the great
city near it is fast coming to it's

While Mrs. Clendenin enjoys
luncheons and dinner parties and all
social functions, she is also perfectly
happy and satisfied in the quieter
duties of her home life. She is fond
of reading, although she seldom reads
a newspaper, and says that she never
takes up a book for more than an
hour at a time.-Frances E. Smith in

During the wars with Carthage a
great snake is said to have kept the
Roman army from crossing the Bag

monster swallowed up no less than
seventy Roman soldiers during this
combat, and was not conquered un-
til a hundred stones from as many
different catapults were fired upon
it all at one time. The monster skull
and skin were preserved and after
ward exhibited in one of the Roman
temples. The dried skin of the
creature was 12O feet in length, &C
cording to Pliny.-St. Louis Republic.

A Good DAVIS Work.

1T is a well known fact among
the police departments that big
crooks all over the country read the
papers every day." said a police lieu
tenant to a reporter. ''They do it to
see where any big conventions or
gatherings are to be held, and then
never fail to be on hand.
THAT reminds me of the conven-
ton held here that nominated Gree
ley at Ford's opera house. l was
stationed outside to look out for the
class of gentlemen whose hands are
given to wandering into another
mans pockets. While standing in
the middle of a surging crowd Of
men | felt something strike me on
the foot. and not being able to see
the ground or to pick it up just then,
Iput my foot on it. After the crowd
had thinned out l looked down and
saw that I was standing on a pocket
book. On opening it l found s245 in
money and more than that amount
in railroad tickets for all parts of the
country.
81 gave the pocketbook to the
marshal. and it was advertised in all
the papers, but was never called for.
It evidently had been dropped by
some well known crook, and he was
afraid to come to the headquarters
for fear we might know him.
Whether it fell out of his pocket or
was dropped by some of his own fra
ternity, who had tried to take it, /
do not know. We kept it for six
months, and as it was never called
for the police department gave it to
me, and it was a very good days
work for me too, I thought. "-Balti-

Book Publishing in the Middle Ages.

When in the Middle Ages an author
At any European university desired
to publish his thoughts, his book was
read owe twice in the presence of
the authorities, and, if approved,
might be copied and exposed for sale
"a practice in which the germs for
state licensing may be readily dis
tinguished. 1t was evidently neces-
sary, however, to keep a strict watch
over the persons employed in this
business, and the statutes of the Uni
versity of Paris show that the book
sellers yer subjected to a very
severe discipline. They were obliged
to keep a list of the books they sold
and to exhibit their scale of charges,
and they were forbidden to purchase
any manuscript till it had been duly
approved by the authorities and pub
licly exposed to view for four days.

%ticularly friendly to Montana, the imper-
ial STATE, forming this galaxy of states
forming this glorious empire of the
world. In every instance Mr.. Harrison
has fulfilled his promise, and has done
more for the west, and Montana in par
%ticular, than any other President ever
did. 1t is unreasonable to think that
Montana in casting her maiden vote for
a nation choice could go otherwise than
republican. If so, it surely will stamp
her in the eye of the world, as an I'M
graceful people, indeed. And with the
reelection of Mr.. Harrison, it is safe to
assume that one of our fellow men will
be appointed to a position which will
reflect candit to the entire state where in
We all may feel proud. A position
where he can and will, knowing the
wants of Montana as he does, help her
i'll a way that we can scarcely expect
from an eastern man who would be
appointed to the position should the
democrats triumph.
The past four years amply explains
what we may expect of this bright
young statesman and Montana's best
friend, Thos. Carter.
Under existing circumstances it be-
hoOves all MOntanian to mark for the
reelection of President Hrrrison. In
doing so we are not only working for
the best interests of the nation and the
welfare of the toiling masses by giving
protection to our American industries,
Assuming good wages and more employ
ment to the millions of bread winners,
but are doing all we can to protect
some interests within our own state that
have been assailed by our old enemy,
the Democratic party, who are deter
mined to win two of the principal in
dustries of our state by admitting Mex
lean lead ores and foreign wool free of
duty. By voting the democratic ticket
your %repudiate that prince of projection,
VIM. Mckinley, Jr. of Ohio, who was so
nobly indicated last fall by his country
men in his own state, and to do so at
this stage of progress would he IA serious
blunder indeed.
SO let the watchword lie protection
and progress. Let every republican this
coming election come out and vote for
this noble man, our President, Benjamin
Harrison, who was renOminated by an
overwhelming majority of representa-
tive men, chosen from and by the mass
es. And by thus doing Montana will
ever be proud. Let every republican
remember it is his duty to exert himself
in behalf of the party of which he is one,
bearing well in mind that every vote
not cast is one nail lett out of the sub
lime cross of v%indication of the triumph
of justice. And that each democrat
converted to Il cause is equal to two
votes. Very respectfully yours
ONE OF THE MASSES.

How He Knew Him.

An actor in one of the Broadway
theaters not long ago gave the name
of one of DR.. Houghton's curates as
reference in a business transaction.
The merchant made haste to the
Little Church Around the Corner and
preferred his request for particulars
concerning the financial standing and
reliability of his proposed customer.
Indeed" said the reverend gentle
mar hastily, II can give you no
guaranty, my good sir; Ihave merely
a desultory acquaintance with the
gentleman, as he is not a member of
our church." why, that's very
strange" said the merchant, perplex-
eddy; ''he told me that he came here
regularly" He does" returned the
curate, with a reminiscent smile;
he always gets me to marry him.

the officer, out of all patience. By

that he guessed none of them would

THE PRESS.

[ regard the editorial chair as the
highest public trust of our free insti-
buttons. Presidents, cabinets, sem
ates, representative bodies, come
and play their brief parts and pass
away, many of them into forgetful-
ness; and great parties rise and fall
in the swift mutations of the politi
cal efforts of a free people. Jour
nalism not only survives all the va
ried changes of our political system,
but its duties and responsibilities
multiply with each year, as it be-
comes more and more the great
teacher of the people in their homes.
"When President Harrison came
into power, he honored himself by
nominating to three of the four first
class missions of the Government,
distinguished representatives of A
merican journals-Whitelaw Reid
to France: Charles Emory Smith, to
Russia; and Murat Halstead, to Ger
many. High as was the compliment
paid to journalism by the president,
the highest of all was paid to
Mr.. Halstead, when he was rejected
by a senate of his own political
faith; and an exceptional compli-
ment was paid to Mr.. Reid, the hon
ored guest of the evening, by his
narrow escape from rejection by
the same body.
"There was not an objection
urged against the confirmation of
any of these eminent journalists that
was not inspired by resentment for
THE best journalistic efforts of their
lives. It was the manly, fearless
criticism of public men and public
measures; the exposure of the in
firmities and perfdy of those who
pose as representative statesmen of
the Republic, that honored Mr.. Hal
stead by refusing him the mission
for which he had been nominated,
and that paid a rare tribute to Mr..
Reid by gr~udgingly asserting to his
appointment. The cowardly, sub
missive journalist is innocent of an
.tagonisms; the aggressive, fearless,
faithful journalist commands the
highest distinction of malignant hos
tility from all who make politics a
trade, and prostitute craftsmanship to
mean ambition and jobbery. re-
call also with pleasure the fact that
the two great editors who were con-
firmed to fill first class missions,
have both voluntarily resigned to
resume their newspaper duties.
These leaders of our profession
have learned the littleness of our Of
fetal trust when compared with the
of all public trusts--the d.
rection of a great newspaper."-Ex-
from speech of Col. Alex. Nc
.lure at the banquet to Whitlaw
Reid.

A Wonderful Matthew atician.

No littla sensation has been created at
the Academy Of Sciences by the per-
formances of a mental arithmetician,
who, in the presence of the assembled
members, has made the most elaborate
calculations in an incredibly short space
of time. The name Of this phenomenon
is Inaudi. He is of Piedmontese origin,
but was n~aturalized a Frenchman some
years ago.
Inaudi, who is now twenty-four, is a
small man with a head wonderfully de-
veloped, and it is a noteworthy fact that
he was taken by Broca to the Anthropo-
logical society in 1880, being regarded
by the eminent savant as a remarkable
boy. He succeeded over and over again
in getting throughtw very complicated
calculations at the same time in about
half a minute, and the extraordinary
rapidity with which he solved various
problems evoked repeated applause
from the academicians. In the great
majority of cases his answer followed
almost Immediately upon the question
put to him, but when he was confronted
with an exceptionally difficult task he
asked to be allowed to reflect a moment.
In a few seconds he exclaimed, II am
proving it," and then he added, "Gen-
tlemen, here is.the result, and it is
quite right" Inaudi never made a mis-
take.
The Academy of Sciences then and
there appointed a committee which will
will place itself in direct communica-
ton with the mental arithmetician, with
a view to a~scertaining whether his Won
derful talents cannot be turned to profit
able account. 1t is thought that his
extraordinary gifts may be utilized in
astronomical calculations. The COM
mittee is composed not only of geometri-
clans and astronomers, but also of physi-
ologists. -Paris Cor. London Telegraph.
