Quite number of our esteemed con
temporaries are criticizing the late
Legislature very severely, and, as we
think, unjustly. The members OF the
Legislature were representative OF
their constituents. and as a body they
correctly represented the wisdom ana
virtue of the mass of the people OF inc
State. Had our Legislators all Deeh

AT FORT BENTON.
The Sad Death OF Mrs. Jere sullivan of
That Town After "a Brief Illness.

The Sad Death OF Mrs. Jere Sullivan of
that Town After u Brief Illness.
This morning at $50 o'clock, after an
illness of several days, Mary, wife of Jere
Sullivan, died at their residence, corner
of Main and Power streets, aged about
80 years. On August 3 Mrs. Sullivan
was delivered of a baby daughter, and to
diseases resulting therefrom her death
was due.
Mrs. Sullivan, whose maiden name
was Mary Hoffman, was born in Pitts
burg, Pa, in 1858. In 1880 she was
united in marriage with MI. Sullivan,
and to them seven children were born,
all of whom are living.
After the birth of their last child Mrs.
Sullivan at first seemed in a fair way to
recovery; but a severe illness soon en-
sued and she grew rapidly worse. The
best medical attention was given, and on
Sunday DR.. Tracy of Helena was sum-
moned. All efforts were unavailing and
this morning death resulted as noted.

WORLDS FAIR NOTES.
A big Elephant Hote, and Other Curiosi-

A big Elephant Hote, and other Curiosi-
The worlds fair is to have an elephant
with a hotel in its interior and a howdah
upon its back, the top of which will be
200 feet from the ground. This mastodon
is to be constructed this year, the
materials to be used being wood, steel
and iron for the framework, and the
"hide" will be of tin, painted to represent
the real article. The structure will con
tain a hotel cafe and booths for the sale
of curios. The howdab, which will be
utilized as an observation tower, is
the elephants front legs. The head
will contain a steam calliope, which will
give vent to an exaggerated elephants
scream, and will also play tunes a la
Barnum. The ears, eyes, trunk, and
tail will be moved by machinery, and
the interior will be lighted by electricity,
which, as in the case of the Coney Island
elephant, produces a weird effect, shin
ing through the numerous windows in
the monsters body. Geo. II. Benton Of
New York will superintend the building
of the artificial animal, which will re-
quire an outlay of s250,0O0.
Chief Willard A. Smith of the trans
~portation exhibits department has Sc
cured for his department one of the old
French voyager's boats, which he found
in the state historical museum of Wis
consin at Madison. The boat is an old
batteau of the pattern used by the
French-C Canadian fur traders in their
voyages on the lakes and rivers of
the northwest before Illinois or
Wisconsin had been organized
as territories. 1t is a leviathan of canoes
weighing LOO pounds, is 30 feet long,
and in it's day carried Is men and over a

One of the men then held him while
the other extracted bis pocket

side pocket of his vest. They also took
his watch and chain, but he did not dis
cover that fact until sometime afterward.
He says the whole proceeding did not
occupy over a minute.
After securing his valuables the foot
pads started off, running in opposite
directions. The somewhat dazed Ger
man jumped to his feet and pulling his

at one of the fleeing footpads. The rob-

out his name. He was well dressed and
respectable looking, as were his wife
and boy. He said the money was the

he came to this city intending to go into
some business with his small
capital. He intended to deposi,
the money in a bank yesterday, but the

A NEW HOSPITAL.
a Four story Building With All Modern
Conveniences to BE Erected.

COnveniences to BE Erected.
Sister Julian and Sister Mary of the
Mother House of the Provincial society
of Montreal, arrived in this city from
Fort Benton yesterday and are at the
Ulm. There visit is made in connection
with the project to erect a hospital in
this city. The erection OF a hospital at
this place has been contemplated
by the sisters of the order for some
time past and it is now assured. A
location has been secured at the corner
of Sixteenth street and Third avenue
north and plans for a temporary build
ing 30x30 are already drawn. This
building will be completed and ready for
occupancy early next month and the
main hospital buildings will be con-
structed as soon thereafter as possible.
The permanent buildings will be built
in a most substantial of stone
and brick. The main building will
have a frontage of 125 feet and will be
forty feet deep and four stories high
with an ell fifty feet deep of the same
height. The hospital will accommodate
100 patients and will be in charge of
Sister Julian as Sister Superior, with
five sisters as assistants. 1t will be com
plete in every respect, being provided
with all modern conveniences and i'm
provements. 1t is an institution that is
greatly needed in Great Falls and its
need will be still more apparent as the
city grows. The sisters deserve all en-.
enlargement in their benevolent enter
prise.
