The contrast between Cleveland's q
money policy, and the attitude of the
democratic senate on the silver question
give promise of warm times in the
future. The president will undertake
4 hercu!ean task when he sets out to
metamorphose the democratic party,
and the democratic party will find it
equally difficult to hold in line the viii
ful man from Buffalo.

Candidates for Judge of the seventh
judicial circuit are already coming to
the front, and long and lively cam
paign will doubtless prscede the elsc-
ton, which is to take place next fall.
The Rapid City Republican thinks that its
home town can produce six candidates
worthy of the ermine, and it mentions
the following named gentlemen; VIM.
Gardner. Clarence l.. Lewis, c. W.
Brown, @. L. Wood. W. o. Temple and
Levi McGee. The present incumbent,
Judge VIM. Gardner, has made an enyi-
able record during the time he has
been on the beLch, and we will venture
this predic;ion-if Judge Gardner will
give his consent, he will be re-nominat
ed by the republicans of the circuit, and
reelected by large majority.

Senator w. ]. rhornby was in Custer
Saturday and Sunday last visiting the
family of his sister, Mrs. J. E. Pitcher,
and meeting his many friends. The
senator worked very hard all through
the session of the legislature, and had
he succeeded in getting his annexation
bill through the house, he would have
been very well satisfied with what he
accomplished for his constituents. AS
II is everyone realizes that he made a
gallant fight against great odds, and his
earnest efforts to secure Justice for the
taxpayers OF Custer county are fully ap-
preciated. Senator Thornby stood al
most alone in the fight for hi.
bill, while the influence and capital of
the principal cattlemen of the foot hills
were pitted against him.

In another column Of the CHRONICLE
will be found circular addressed to the
claim owners Of the Southern Black
Hills" and signed by forty-four of tre
business men of Custer. 1t is desired
that meeting of business men, miners
and prospectors be held at the court
house, next Saturday evening, March
25th. and it is urged that all who are
interested in the development Of our
mineral resources and the upbuilding
Of our town be present. 1t is evident
that the leading men Of Custer have
come 10 the conclusion that they have
no more time to waste in waiting for
something to turn up, that if they are
to progress and prosper in the future
they must turn the crank themselves
The iron seems hot and we hope that it
will be struck good and hard next Sat
urday evening. This meeting will prob
ably have a great deal 10 do with
deciding whether we are to poke along
indefinitely. or on the oths, hand devel-
op. produce, advertise and get in the
front rank. 1t will be another golden
opportunity to get out Of the rut, and to
do something for ourselves. Let US see
il change is 30 much desired that this
/ opportunity viii be improved.

The Ladies Entertain.

The people Of Custer gave substantial
evidence fthe interest which they feel
in our worlds fair exhibit, by turning
out en- masse to attend the entertain
ment given by the ladies club, at the
court house last Saturday evening. At
least two hundred and fifty ladies,
gentlemen and children crowded the
court room and the adjoining offices,
and the task of entertaining them all
was a prodigious one. However the
various committees performed their
duties with surprising ease, and dol
lars worth Of pleasure was furnished for
quarter. The program published last
week was carried out ana each number
net with just what it merited-hearty
applause and complimentary comment.
The selections, both musical and litera-
ry, were chosen with excellent taste,
and the rendition could not have been
improved upon. Almost every form OF
refined amusement was provided, and
the affair passed off as pleasantly AS if it
had been family gathering on a large
scale. Six or eight tables were spread
in the Office Of the county judge, ard
in the jury room. and between the hours
Of ten and eleven thirty dainty lunch
was served to all who wished it. The
ladies realized a trife over forty dollars
and though they earned three or four
times that much, they feel very well
satisfied with the reward OF their labors.
The money will be used to help defray
the expense of building and decorating
the miniature cottage, and while it is
only an Insignificant portion of the total
expense, yet it is something and is fully
appreciated.

"Oiling the Voice.

The voices of singers need an occa-
sional "oiling," AMI some peculiar
remedies have been in vogue AMONG
singers. which il is interesting to
know. When Gallmayer, the famous
soubrette, visited this country, she
confessed to the writer that she treated
her throat before each performance TO
"A good rubbing with rum and glycer
inc.
This statement led to further investi-
cations in this line, with the following
result:
Lahatt, the great Swedish tenor. ate
two salt pickles before going on to
sing. Wachtel used the yolk OF an
egg with sugar. Other vocal stars
drink soda water or punch. Walter,
the tenor. drinks cold coffee without
cream. Zclia Trebelli, the famous
contralto. who died not long ago, al
ways drank lemonade before she went
on the stage. Kinlcrmann chewei
dried pranes during the intermissions,
aud Sontheim swore by a pinch of
snuf before each aria. Some singers
who are passionate smokers, refrain
from smoking on the days on which
they are to sing. while a number of
cantatrices believe that their voices
are vastly improved by the smoking Of
a cigarette just before the curtain rises.

instance of an insane person who oncs
escaped.
''He had been confined in an asylum
in an adjacent State for some time.
The keepers got negligent, and during
one of their lapses of vigilence the
person in question escaped.
''He came direct to New York, AMI

up big bills.
''Of course this thing could not go

tracked him to New York.
"They came on and took him in
custody. He was entertaining a party
of newly made acquaintances at the

If the statement published in
London that over 200 persons have
died OF cholera in Southern France
since May is true, there Is no eviicn e
in such mortality that the disease
exists In a virulent or dangerous
form. A death rate OF twenty-five or
thirty a day in population of 5.OOO,-
900 is not like the work OF Asiatic
cholera where that fearful pest:lencc
Is epidemic in its most venonous
form. Last year there was cho era
at various places in the south OF
France long before the disease ap-
peared In Hamburg, but i5. never
caused heavy mortality o. spread

condition OF Marseilles and other
cities on the Mediterranean coast

the part OF American quarantine
officials, but the news so far received

slipped down from the bench on which

What they said nobody ever knew;

prayers, Miss Martha took her on her
lap and into her arms, and kissed her
