EVENING SESSION.
The first half hour of the evening ses-

special chorus of forty voices. A pleas
ing number was selection rendered by
ouartette composed Of Mrs. Kate
Michael Fitzgerald, Miss Teresa Phil

A conference, topic THE Christian
Endeavor and the Sabbath School" was
led by Mr.. w. B. McGFegor. Of Fair
mont, W. Va, the acting secretary OF

the discussion in an interesting address,
telling of the organization OF the
first Christian Endeavor Society. and

one helping the other, and demonstrate

Rev. Trey also took 40 the discussion.
He asserted that the relation OF the
Christian Endeavor to the Sabbath school
is that of antecedent and consequent. In
the Sabbath School, the mind and
heart are instructed In the spirit OF
Divine truth. In the home and Sab

A Dangerous Barber shnn.

The funniest street sign that ever
hung over New York door is that of a
barber on Hudson street near where the
city's thOrOughfares get tangled up in
such confusion at Abingdon square.
The owner Of the shop is a darky and Is
very fond of big words. So when he
had his sign painted he had it made to
read, "Tonsorial Parlor," instead of Just
plain Barber Shop" This sign hung
for nearly year. Then some wag
probably told him that there was q
more elegant wording which might
draw custom to his shop. Within a
week a new sign, resplendent in red.
white and blue, hung out proclaiming
that "Tonsorial Abattoir" might be
found within. 1t is not known whether
the shop is more literally patronized
under its new designation as a hair
dressing butcher shop or not, but GER
tainly the darky is very happy over the
length and impressive appearance of the
new word on his sign.--New York

Ivory billiard Balls Stained With Blood

Ivory Billiard Balls Stained with Blood.
The globe of ivory which is knocked
about table in game of billiards costs,
if of good quality, at least $40. This rep
Tesents its cost in money. There is,
however, q far more important and for
midable element in the price which has
been paid for it. The billiard ball of
pure ivory represents as it lies white
and glistening upon the cloth an expend-
iture of human ifeblood as well as of
money.
Elephants tusks are brought down to
the African coasts by caravans general
ly in charge of Arabs, which have been
trading in the interior. Very often they
have picked up slaves as we'll as ivory.
But this phase of the matter may be left
out Of the account.
1t is estimated that every large caravan
bringing ivory to the coast has cost more
than 100 human lives through fights and
murders in the course Of the expedition.
Thirty more men are likely 10 have sue
cumbed to fevers or other diseases and
the fatigues of the march.
The hunting of the elephants and the
capture of the ivory are very likely to
have caused the death Of 10 men alto.
gether. Such casualties are the rule
in elephant hunting rather than the ex-
ception.
An average tUsk does not furnish more
than enough material for two good bill
lard balls. Of course the remainder of
the ivory in each tusk is made use Of in
other ways. Aperfectiy cut billiard ball
requires special quality or SO called
''nerve," which is found onlyin one part
of the tusk.
The chances are that billiard ball of
the first quality has cost at least one hu-
man life, and there is not one such ball
which may not truly DO said to be
stained with human blood. They can
hardly be considered, therefore, a cheer.

further to the matter, the action of
Mr.. Cook would have been most un-
precedented; but it will aforementioned
that Mr.. Leech, the Republican claim
ant for the same seat, had instituted
legal proceedings before the supreme
court OF the state to test the validity
OF Mr.. Hamilton's certificate; and the
supreme court had unanimously COM
manded the canvassing board OF Cho-
teau county to reconvene and issue a
certificate to Mr.. Leech, which, to all
intents and purposes, nullitied the GER
tifcate held by Mr.. Hamilton, and
amounted to the issuance of "a certifi-
cate to Mr.. Leeeh. All of this had
taken place before Mr.. Cook called the
house together, and was known to him.
In the face of this decision from the
supreme court it would have been pre-
posterous for him to recognize Mr..
Hamilton as a member OF the house
or ns having any right TO be sworn in
as a member. The supreme court, in
the hearing before it, went into the
merits of the case, and if the decision
meant anything it meant that Mr..
Hamilton had no right to the certifi-
cate which he held. This being so,
hat certificate became as nothing i'll
his hands, of no ore effect or value
that a piece OF counterfeit money. SUI
flee it to say that Mr. Cook will not

Governor Richards, in his message,
recommends some changes IN Il cleo

tons registration agents should be re-
quired 10 sit in every voting precinct.
This is Il wise suggestion, and the
change would go a great ways in lessen
ing the inconvenience and hardship
which many settlers have to contend
with under the present law. There Is Il
strong sentiment i'll favor of retaining
registration i'll iemote localities nee

fact ali iufractions OF the election laws
have occurred in small precincts, and
there is danger of still greater frauds if
the present safeguards are removed.
should continue to within a few days
of election, which would also prove IL
wise amendment. There is no object
in making the period SO brief ut a time
when many people are busy with their
fall work. One suggestion he makes
will probably meet with strong uppo-
sition, that of prohibiting judg sof cleo
ton from marking ballots for voters,
except in cases of blindness. This
would disfranchise about five out of six
half-breeds. But as this vote is light
and mighty uncertain as regards its po-
hIical complexion it might not call for
opposition on party grounds. 1t would
operate as an educational qualification
4 a certain degree. The governor sug-
gests other needed changes in the law.

The ct. Louis Republic, one of the
leading Democratic papers of the
country, in writing on the question of
pensions, refers to the old veterans as
follows: "The country does not owe
these men Il free living. They have-no
right to live without work, unless pub
lie aid is given To them as paupers, and
in such II way that it will disfranehise
them" From a Democratic stand
point the country owes them nothing.
Naturally, the party that tried to de-
stroy the union has but little regard
for its preservers. The old veterans
are not paupers, nor do they ask for II
free living. Though not as agile as in
the sixties when they were hunting
Democrats i'll the swamps of the south,
yet the great majority of them are o
Ioiiing much harder than the black
gu nd who penned the above. The
party that derives its chief strength froIn
a region thai iiuurished for years upon

which believes in the degradation OF
Americas labor, should not bcgrudgG

Much undeserved criticism has been
heaped upon State Auditor Cook by
the Democratic press OF the state, for
his action i'm the Hamilton-Leech
matter from Choteau county, in call
ing the House Of Representatives
together upon the assembling of the
legislature. In calling the roll ofmem.
bers, Mr.. Cook refused to call the
names OF either Mr.. Hamilton or Mr..
Leech. 1t was this refusal On his part
to call the name OF Mr.. Hamilton to
be sworn in as u member OF the House
that has called down upon him the
vituperative wrath OF all the Demo-
cratic editors in the state, and some
of them even 60 so far as to call loudly
for the impeachment OF that officer.
The statues of Montana provide that
a certificate of election to the legisla
ture shall be prima facie evidence o.
a right to a seat in the legislature.
Mr.. Hamilton had n certificate signed
by the proper officer and presented
himself to be sworn in as a member OF
the house, and Mr.. Cook refused to
recognize him or his right to a seat in
that body. Had there been nothing
