A Visit From Dean Swift.

The Irish reformer, Father Math-
ew, used to tell of a remarkable visit
made to his grandfather by Dean
Swift. Mr.. Mathew lived near Dub
lin and invited the eccentric dean to
dine and spend the night at his
house. A large party of the neigh
boring gentry were hidden to meet
him.
The dean drove up to the house,
and summoning the butler asked the
names of the guests.
Tell your master, he shouted, Il
will meet no such people, and drove
away in fury. Before he reached
the lodge gates, however, he changed
his mind, returned, alighted and de-
manded to be shown to his room.
When his host came to him, Swift
said, Il am willing to accept your
hospitality. but will not meet your
guests"
He was told that his meals should
be served in his room, as if he were
at home. He remained thus isolated
for two days, then came down in
high good humor, Joined the party
and extended his visit for four
months. Companion.

Could Not Give Thanks.

The New York Press interviewed a
number of prominent people before
Thanksgiving day to ascertain what
they could discover TO he thankful
for. The replies of Colonel Ingersoll
aud Senator Stewart make good read
ing even at this late date. Said Mr..
Ingersoll:
do not know that / am thankful
for what has happened during the last
year. All ! am afraid OF is that the
Lord will be misled by those in au-
thority.
The times are hard. Thousands
are out OF employment and the future
looks dark. / do not see that the
workers have anything to beespecially
thankful for.
Besides, wheat is low and so is corn;
the farmers are having hard times,
and the merchants are nearly crazy
because they can neither sell nor
collect.
SO, you see, there is not much to be
thankful for.
Then we have had awful storms and
high tides, thousands have been
drowned, and many ships have been
wrecked. Consequently, the sailors
have not much to be thankful for.
Then, ii thank God for the good
things, what shall / say about the
bad things2
All can say is that | am glad that
things are no worse. and sincerely
hope that they will be better
Senator Stewart, the silver cham
pion, took the following truthful but
sombre view of things:
When is Thanksgiving? Tomorrow?
| don't think / have any reason to he
thankful. The country is certainly
not in prosperous condition, and
the people OF the United States have
no cause to thank their rulers-that
much is certain. They may perhaps
feel like thanking the ruler of the uni
verse that he has not annihilated
them completely. But they have no
cause for rejoicing on account of any
thing that their earthly executive has
done. The country is far from being
in n healthy financial condition. with
the indications that things will get
much worse before they will get better
People who earn their living have only
one reason to be thankful-that this
administration cannot go on forever.

HE KILLED HIS BROTHER.
Box" Miller Tried to Kill His Brother
Frank and Was Killed Himself.
A Desperate Struggle for the Possession of
the Axe With Which the Deed
Was Done.

LIVINGSTON, Dec. 81. II. Van Dyke
and John Conlay of Horr arrived in
Livingston with Frank Miller, who
killed his brother, p. j., better known
as "Box" Miller, at their ranch in
Tom Miner basin, in the upper Vel
lowstone, yesterday morning. The
brothers had lived on the ranch sew
eral years and about three years ago
BOX" left and was gone two years.
Last April he returned and since then
he has been trying to force Frank to
leave the ranch.
Last Saturday "Box" went down to
Horr and returned after dark con-
siderably under theinfluence of liquor.
Frank was in bed and "Box" grabbed
a rifle and told him he would have to
leave there or he would kill him.
Frank jumped out of bed and ran
outdoors.
Yesterday morning Frank was in
the barn feeding the chickens and
"Box" came in and saddled a horse.
He told Frank that if he (Frank) did
not leave the ranch by Saturday he
would kill him. "Box" returned to
the house. Frank then went to har-
ness up the work team and just as he
was taking the harness off a peg BOX"
again appeared at the door and said,
Hello, haven't you gone YETI" As
he said this he reached to one side of
the door and picked up an axe and
said, "I'll fix YOU"
Frank made a rush for the door,
there being only one to the barn, and
just as he got outside "Box" struck at
him with the axe, but missed him, the
axe simply grazing his face. Frank
grabbed the handle with his right
hand and with his left hand caught
"Box's' right arm. "Box" still held
on to the handle of the axe with his
left hand and a terrific struggle then
took place for its possession.
AS the men fought they gradually
worked toward the house, seventy five
yards from the barn, and once both
of them went down. Frank told his
brother to let go OF the axe and go in
the house and he would go away and
leave him alone. The only reply
BOX" made was: OBJ you, I'll
fix you" At last they reached the
poarch and struggled up to the door.
BOX" released his hold of the axe
and, opening the door, made for gun
at the foot of a bunk, again repeating
his remark, ''D--nyou, I'll fix you u
Frank followed him and when he was
about six feet from the gun Frank
struck him with the pole OF the axe
across the back of the bead, fractur.
ing his skull. "Box" fell against a
cupboard and then on the floor
Frank went over to where he lay and
spoke to him, and the only reply he
got was, "D-n yoS, I'll fix you"
He died soon after and Frank then
went to Horr and gave himself up to
Justice Schrieber, and was remanded
to the district court for trial.

Criticisms of Modern School Crowding.

Criticisms of Modern School Crowding.
A man has this to say about the
way children are pushed on at the
public schools: "A niece of mine
was graduated in a neighboring city
from the high school. In a class of
25 20 failed to pass the examinations.
1t seems to me this fact should
warn those in charge of the schools
of the danger of trying to do too
much. The effect of the system is
to keep the scholars all on a dead
level as near as possible, and those
whose minds are not destroyed by
the strain to which they are subject
ed will probably make good average
citizens.
But what good is to come of it
alla This filling the memory at the
expense of the reflective faculties
with q lot of statistical information,
any part of which when needed can
be ascertained in five minutes from
an encyclopedia, is certainly not ben
eficial in training the intellect. The
long hours required for study leave
no time for outdoor exercise, without
which the most brilliant intellect is
of little worth. A large percentage
of the prominent men of the country
are those whose schooling has con-
sisted in part at least of prelim-
mary drill on the farm or in the
workshop, which has developed them
physically. My own girls go to the
public schools. I wish they didn't,
but my wife thinks they ought to
keep at it, and all 1 can do is to pro
vide bicycles, swings, boat and ev-
erything can think of to keep them
out of doors. New York Times.

THE WILSON BILL.
A Montana Man Says 1t Will Kill Silver
Mining.

M. w. Fitzgerald, formerly identi-
fed in an active way with st. Paul
mercantile industries, but who is now
devoting his energies and means to
the development of mining business in
the precious metal bearing districts of
Montana, has just returned from a
three months visit to the scenes of
his mining interests.
1.-The Wilson tariff bill," said he to
a Pioneer Press reporter yesterday,
"if it becomes law in it's present
form will certainly tie up every silver
mine in Montana. People here seem
to be surprised when l make this
statement. The trouble is they have
not analysed the conditions. When
l explain the facts, they are generally
convined that lam right. The Wilson
bill places lead on the free list. What
will be the result? Why, all the lead
that will be used in this country will
be brought in from Mexico. Last
year the Kansas City smelling works
paid an enormous sum in duties on
imported lead ores, and it is reason
able to suppose that the proprietors
of these works were largely instru-
mental in influencing the Wilson COM
mittee in placing lead on the free list.
"How does lead effect silver mining?
In this way. Silver ore contains a
large amount of lead, and silver even
at SO cents cannot be pro6tably
mined without a fairly remunerative
price for the lead. Remove the duty
on lead, and we cannot afford to mine
it. The conditions attending mining
in Montana and in Mexico are quite
dissimilar. There is the difference in
the climate, and the difference in
wages paid, to say nothing of the diff.
ference in the product.
'Do l think silver men can influence
congress and have this portion of the
bill changed? That tisextremely is prob.
lematical. But strenuous effort will
surely be made, however. Ii it is not
accomplished, silver mining must
close. At a fair price for silver, its
mining is more profitable than gold
There is too much loss in gold mining
A large per cent OF the precious meta
is always lost, and inventive genius
has thus far failed to construct ma
chinery that will save it all, although
hundreds have attempted it."-Pio

Rill Scores the Prophet.

Washingt on special: In the senate
this afternoon when Hoar's Hawaiian
resolution was taken up, Hill created
a sensation by making perhaps the
strongest speech OF his senatorial ca
reer. He challenged the right of the
president to use military force to re-
store the Hawaiian queen. "There
are three co ordinate branches OF this
government, said he, "and this au-
thority is not vested in the president
alone"
The contemplated action of the
president, he declared, would be a
usurpation of the rights OF congress.
He was attentively listened to
throughout, and the galleries rapidly
filed up as a report OF the sensational
character of his speech spread the
capitol. At 3:35 Hill finished and
was followed by Sherman who also
challenged correctness of the presi-
dents position.

discovered slaughtering a number of
beeves belonging to ranchmen. A
posse was organized and followed
them, capturing all but one. He es-
