The Preliminary Survey for Regarding
Olympic Avenue.

The Preliminary Survey for Regarding
Olympic Avenue.
Lee B. Hart appeared before the board
Of public works yesterday with petition
for a profile and estimate of the cost of
regarding Olympic avenue. A question
arose as to the means by which the cost Of
making the profile was to be betrayed. and
Mr.. Hart guaranteed that the property
owners would make up the amount. The
city engineer said that would cover the
profile, but not the estimate of the regrade,
as that would take considerable calcula-
ton. He promised to have the drawing
ready by Saturday night.
Complaint was made of the earth lying
on the Third street side Of the Yesier resi-
dence. J. d. Lowman had applied for a
permit to grade off the block. and the time
has expired. Mr.. Lowman, however, SAYS
1t will be necessary to get an order from

necessary money TO haul Off the earth.

BUTTE. Mont, March 2Z-rSpscial.]-
The National Fraternity Building Loan
Association, of this city, has collapsed,
and leaves many mourners for its demise.
1t was organized year ago with an au-
thorized capital of $50 900. There were
nearly LOCO subscribers to stock in sums
ranging from 500 to $1,000. The liabili-
ties are $4,000. An assignment was made
to the Western Loan and Savings Associa-
ton, of Salt Lake City. Strenuous
efforts have been made to suppress the
publication Of the failure. other concerns
Of the kind fearing stampede of with
drawal.
The assignee says the assets will pay so
cents on the dollar on the stock of the
company. The cause OF the failure was
gross mismaragement and the payment
OF fancy salaries to host of solicitors.
BY means of extensive advertising it had
nearly 1000 subscribers at one time. The
company was composed Of Butte men.

Prior had several qualifications for
diplomatic work Though he must some

the dignity of his official position. His
special knowledge of commerce, his
readiness, his humor his huency in
French. his familiarity with Horace "a

age) and even ICE visage de bois. as Boil
ingbroke called it, must often have been
of service to him. But Priors life when
he had the honor of representing Queen
Anne at the French court was not happy
His letters during that period show that
he was uneasy about the prospects of his
party and felt his own position to be in
secure.
In those days, moreover, the British
government was not q good paymaster;
generals had sometimes to find money
from their own pockets to pay their sol
diers, and ambassadors salaries were
often in arrear. When the crash came

know, no trustworthy foundation.

his voice with "hallooing and singing CT

Here is story of impotence from real
life. It was told by my late friend, the
Rev. Greville Chester, who made a little
novel out of it, but do not think the
book caught on" or had any success.
The thing happened almost exactly as
follows: There was a lady hving in the
country; she was advanced in years,
either unmarried or widow; she was
wealthy, and she lived alone.
One winter evening she heard the
sound of carriage wheels on the gravel.
The door was opened, and then fol-
lowed the humping of trunks in the hall.
Then lady's name was announced, and
her visitor entered. She came in run
ming; she came in holding out both her
hands; she came in with a laugh of well
come and of joy. "You dearest Jenny"
she cried, kissing her with trimming
eyes. 1T Is 40 years since last we part
ed at deal old Miss IS school. How
are your How are you? Oh, my dear,
I am so glad to see you'll And I've come
to stay!
She sat down, threw off her bonnet
and began to rattle on about the school.
When they separated for the night, the
hostess reflected that she had not even
asked her visitors name and that she re-
membered nothing at all about her. In
the morning she did ask her name, but
yet she remembered nothing at all about
her. That visitor came to stay In fact,
she never went away again. The two
ladies lived together in the greatest ami.
ty till the end. And to the very end the
hostess never knew who her friend was
and could not associate her name or her
face with her old school Besant

New Zealand Mutton.

The sheep farmer, it seems, finds that
he can deliver his sheep, with a fair
profit, for Q pence pound at the nearest
port or freezing point. The killing and
freezing process is undertaken chiefly by
companies, which have established freez-
ing stations at various convenient points
along the coast, and which ship the car
cases, consigned to agents in London or
elsewhere One of the sights of the day
at the Albert docks is the arrival of one

its winding sheet of white calico.
The whole years expectation now fig
ures to about 1900, 900 frozen carcasses

this depletion the number Of sheep in the

Nature and Deformity.

Nature is very particular to conceal
her deformities, and all that is worthless
or ungraceful generally drops off from
tree unless it be an injury to the trunk
From such effects the tree never recov
ers. Go into the forests and how often
we see deformed trees, some bent and
twisted, some parted till the original
trunk becomes like two-each crossing
and recrossing the other. This was done
by depression or injury to the tree in its
young and tender years Nature has no
power to right a broken law--neither in
the animal nor the vegetable organism
Punishment follows, and deformity re-
sults.-Boston Transcript.
