A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.
Children Should Not BE Allowed to Ride

Children Should Not BE Allowed to Ride
on Passing Wagons.
To THE EDITOR OF The TRIBUNE:
Sir: Parents who have children that
are in the habit of catching on delivery
wagons; and teachers Of our public
schools who have these children under
their care for a greater part OF the time
should take warning from the sad &C.
currnce of the past week and try to i'm
press on the minds OF their charges" that
it is with thu utmost danger to life and
limb that they persist in Jumping on or
running behind wagons while in motion.
In all parts OF our city there are boys
and girls who seem to have nothing TO do
but watch for passing wagons that they
may catch on and ride a short distance.
Now parents are wrong to allow this
thing to continue as .ooner or later these
children will come to grief. lean see the
urgency Of this matter better tn some

A short time since while delivering a

and both legs were run over, and | was

doubtedly had me placed under arrest.
1t places the teamster in an awkward
position, besides costing him lots at val
liable time.
hope these few words of warning
may meet the eye Of every parent and
teacher. and that they will suppress this
dangerous practice as soon as possible.
Yours in earnest,

After an absence of about a month
Hon. Paris Gibson reached home by the
Great Northern yesterday. lie is look
ipr and feeling we'll and seemed glad to
be back in the city that owes so much to
his foresight and genius. lie enjoyed
his visit in Washington, where he found
many old friends. Maj Maginnis was
there, "a leader among leaders, and al
though lie has no official position as yet
the major is very influential and a great
~favorite among the prominent men OF
the nation.
MIR. Gibson's visit to President Cleve-
andIwas one of the ~pleasantest episodes
of his stay in the capital. But he does
not care to be mixed up in political mat
tiers, 80 all be would say about his visit
was: "Mr. Cleveland is a big man." Mr..
Gibson meant mentally big. Mere phys
ical bigness is not a thing that would ex
cite his admiration. On political mat

| came more communicative at once.

is not a question that very soon after We

thirty-ive national banks of Montana
contains some interesting figures says the
Helena Herald. The paid up capital
stock Of these thirty five banks, together
with their undivided profits and surplus

of deposits foots up sl5,5C0,OOO, Of which
nearly %sl5.25O,OOO represents individual
deposits, or over 300 to every inhabi-
tant of the state. The total OF loans
and discounts amount to 100000,
leaving in the banks a reserve of more
than 2l.50 per cent an ample safe
guard. OF specie in the vaults the sur
prise is that so small a per cent is in
silver. OF silver dollars the abstract
shows a total OF but $4,000, and of
fractional coin a total of but $4,000.
OF gold coin there is something more
than a nnllion--the exact amount re-
ported being Sl.O79.392 OF this sun

Treatment-Mrs. Reid Receives
Handsome Present.
In the morning a spirited debate took
place over the division of the presbytery
of Montana, Rev. r. V. Moore of Helena
and Rev. f.. G.. Groenveld of Butte and
DIR. Wishard making the best efforts for
and against the movement. The matter
had been referred to a committee, and
the committee failing to agree 1T was
discussed in presbytery. BY vote it was
decided not to divide now, but to over
ture the general assembly to constitute
the synod of Montana, consisting of three
presbyteries.
The next matter was the revision over
lures. These we're all answered in the
negative and the general assembly was
asked to begin action toward a shorter
creed. The vote was a tie, the moder-
ator deciding it in the negative.
Reports from the various standing
committees we're heard and a new COM
| mittee to look after and foster the Chris
| tian Endeavor work was appointed.
Adjournment until 7 O'Clock was then
taken.
At the evening session a lively discus
sion took place over an overture intro
ducei by Elder Koch. The gist Of the
overture was that a prosecuting. commit
tie in presbytery should not have the
right of appeal in case a decision was IN
favor of a defendant or acquittal.
The meeting at 8 o'clock was on home
mission work and was addressed by Rev,
j. w. Millar, the moderator, and Dr. .
=. Wishard. synodical missionary.
After the addresses the audience, ano
Mrs. Reid especially, were treated to q
surprise. The Westminster guild was
presented to the audience. 1t is com
posed of young people in the church
Mr.. Reid introduced them in a rathel
enigmatical speech, after which they
sang a medley in excellent style. Mrs
Reid, who was playing the organ, wa
about to take her seat in the audience
when she was arrested by her HUSBAND
IN the name of the Westminster guile
and conducted to the platform, wher
Miss Maud Houston in a neat speech
presented her with a silver soup tureel
and ladle.

4 NEW YOR.
Some Of His Plans Outlined to ii Tribune
Reporter Yesterday.


Mayor Elect Gelsthorpe will enter up
on the discharge of his duties on Mon
day. May /, which will be one week
from next Monday. His first act will be
to call a meeting Of the council for the
purpose Of comforting with the members
on the policy TO be pursued 10y the adj
ministration. He will enquire into the
condition of city affairs, look up the fl
nances, and endeavor to inform himself
fully on the city's needs. DIR. Gelsthorpe
was not ready to talk much yesterday
about his plans, but in the course of
conversation he said that his mind was
about made up respecting at least three
of his appointees to city offices.
There is not much doubt that Robert
Pontet will be made city marshal. He
is a staunch democrat, always working
faithfully for party success, and while
he keeps a saloon at present, h doctor
SAWS he will retire from that business in
the near future.
f. A. Merrill will be made city clerk
almost to certainty, and no man could
fiji the office better. The salary is only
$50 a month, but the duties are not
heavy.
For garbage inspector Fred Clark has
the inside track, and he is said to be ex
actly the man for the place.
1t is not likely that any change will be
made in The chief of police or fire mar
shall for a while, and no decision has YET
been reached with respect to the city
engineer or pound master. No change
will be made at present in the office OF
librarian of the public library.
In a general may DR.. Gelsthorp'
spoke of many things he hopes to do
He believes that with the aid of Mr.
Pontet as marshal all places of evil re
sort can be suppressed or confined with
in very narrow limits, and something
like decent sanitary arrangements are t
be made throughout the city. A vigor
GUS and efficient administration is as
sured. and places will be given to GOO
men without regard to politics.

The vacant one aud one.half story
house owned by Mrs, Scott Wetzel on
Sixth street between Fourth and Fifth
euu north, was set or fire last night
about $50 o'clock and the flames ad
ga ned considerable Roadway when dis.
covered, but the prompt arrival of the
central tire company and the water from
two streams of NOSE quickly put Il the
flames. The interior Of he building was
badly damaged The house had not
been occupied for over three weeks and
the fire was undoubtedly the work of a
tire iirnd who, If captured, should be
made AN example Of for reference.
The house was fully insured in local
companies. The loss will probably
reach S4OO or $500. he tiremen deserve
great credit for their prompt efforts in
saving the building.
