HOW FUEL FOR THE POOR CA,

HOW FUEL FOR THE POOR CAN BE GOT.
"As fuel is one of the chief wants of the
towns needy" said an old gentleman this moyp-
ing. 1.-The vestry of the Presbyterian Church
could do much toward allaying suffering by
allowing the cutting down of the old dry trees
in their abandoned graveyard. Scattered all
about the place is waste wood in abundance.
and as all are anxious to see the square cleared
quickly as possible, both the church and the
poor would be benefited. To prevent the injur-
ing Of tombs, &C., by over-anxious wood cutters
the sexton could superintend the cutting and
gathering"
BLASTING ICE WITH DYNAMITE.
Mr.. E. C. Broughton, for Charles G. Smith
Son, stone men, was at work all day yester-
day exploding dynamite cartridges off George
towns wharves for the purpose OF destroying
the ice and making a channel The efforts OF
the destroyer were crowned with success and
the river was cleared for q considerable dis
lance. BY this evening at o'clock Mr.. Brough-
ton expects to have full twenty-foot
channel from SD street TO Littlefeld a Alvord's
wharf in Washington. The daily cost incurred
by the setting off of the cartridges is about $40.
As prepared the explosions said TO be per-
fectly harmless and may be broken and held TO
q fame without danger. They are SET off by an
electric spark after being dropped in the de-
sired spots.
At 1:50 o'clock this morning fire broke out
in the two-story boat house OF Mr.. Joseph Pas
seno in the rear of 3134 X street, and the flames
beginning to spread an alarm Was turned in.
With her usual promptness No. arrived on the
scene and soon water was victorious over fire.
The loss was fully covered by insurance. Sew
erai boats were damaged by flying sparks.
NOTES.

Aloysius Ashe was laid to rest, making the

day that black diphtheria was the real cause.

ton.
Comment is being made on the scarcity of
crows in this section. which for years has been
their favorite roosting grounds.
As the extension of the Norfolk and Western

q lively interest in the bill and endeavoring to
get their representatives in Congress to act on
it favorably.

Some time ago the Commissioners directed
the inspector of buildings to inquire into and
report upon the length of time it took to empty
Metzerotts Music Hall and Albaugh's Opera

Mai. Moore's assistance in the matter and the
latter directed Lieut.. Amiss to report upon the
subject.
Today in forwarding the matter to the Com.

Amiss, in which tho latter says that on the 20tt
instant. with a fairly good house, it took five
minutes to empty Metzerott's Music Hall, while
on the 25th instant, with full house, ten min.
utes and half were required to get the audi
ence on the street. There was good attend
ance at Albaugh's on the 23d instant and it only

YELLOWSTONE PARK sent.mentalists,
people who read about the park but
never visit it and therefore are unfamil-
lar with tho Typographical features OF
the Cook City railway project, should
give study to the matter before raising
an altogether causeless but harmful
protest against the road. The preserva-
tion Of this region with all it's natural
wonders assuredly interests no one more
than Montanians, and Of all people they
would be first to protest against desc
Grafton in any form. They have not
done this because it has been estab-
lished beyond all doubt that a railroad
from Livingston to Cook City would in
no way deprive the park Of its beauties,
while on the other hand, it would de-
velope. u OF a region vastly rich
in minerals. This is easily understood
by any one desiring to form an opinion
based en- information; the trouble is
that the great majority Of those oppos-
ing the bill have no such desire.

RETALIATION FOR CANADA.

The movement to annex Canada to
the United States will be greatly hast
ened if the president issues a proclama-
ton to remove the privileges of Cana
dian railroads of transporting mer-
chandise in bond through this country
free of duty. The very m that this
will be done has already caused the
Canadian government to suspend the
act making a discriminative duty on
molasses and sugar imported indirectly
as against those imported directly from
the country where they are produced.
This procedure indicates that the Cana
dians are quite we'll aware of Uncle
Sans advantages in a warfare of COM
mercial retaliation, and it is evident
that they do not propose to get the
worst OF ii by continuing this policy.
An effect reaching farther and of
more Importance would be an enlarged
Canadian appreciation of the advant-
ages Of annexation with a government
SO rich and powerful rs the United
States. The interests OF the people on
ootH slueS vi lne DOrueT are IN many
respects identical. They speak a COM
mon language, they are dependent on
each other in ID commercial way, and in
spirit and sympathy are closely allied.
The growth of tho annexation move
ment in Canada and the recent estab,
lishment OF Il newspaper in Toronto de.
voted solely to that cause would SHOW
that very many Canadians prefer the
guardianship Of Uncle Sam to the do.
minion Of a foreign queen.
The more serious part of the ques.
ton is whether Uncle Sam cares tc
adopt the offspring. Annexation would
involve troublesome political problems
as we'll as the settlement of a growing
social trouble between the French ant
English elements in lower Canada
Then again, it is not altogether easy tc
see what benefits would be derived i
satisfactory commercial treaties are ar
ranged with the Canadian government
and it is evident that in this arrange
ment the United States is in a position
to dictate terms. 1t would seem, there
fore, that annexation is yet far distant
unless the people Of this country shov
!, more enthusiasm on the subject thai
heretofore.

TO REFORM YOUNG CRIMINALS,

IT called upon to locate the several
institutions and provide for the imme-
date establishment Of any, it is not
probable that the legislature can give
much time to suggestions for others not
included in this list. It is possible, how
ever, that provisions could be- made
looking to the establishment Of a reform
school and arranging for a separation
between younger and older criminals
until the time comes for a reformatory
such as the state needs even now.
A suggestion of this nature should
appeal to the philanthropy as we'll as to
the intelligence Of our legislators. Under
the present system the objects of pun
ishment in the penitentiary are, in a great
measure, lost, presuming that the prime
object is to better the criminals condi-
ton. A youth who, perhaps, by a single
mistake has become amenable to the
law and is sent to Deer Lodge. He is
there placed along with men born and
educated in crime and depraved in
mind and morals. In this association
he loses every instinct that might be de-
veloped for his reform and he leaves the
institution a hardened and reckless
enemy to society.
This condition could be avoided by
providing a place where boy criminals
can be reformed before the danger line
is reached. 1t should be a place where
trades can be taught and the mind
strengthened by at least an elementary
education. 1t will come in time, but in
the meantime, the separation of these
youngsters from the professionals can
be secured and by proper ingenuity a
scheme can be devised to start them on
the way to reform, even if the methods
are comparatively crude.
