Our esteemed contemporary, the An
aconda Standard, mildly criticises the
authorities Of Lewis and Clarke county
for not accepting the unconditional
statements of Anaconda authorities on
the smallpox question, and thus avoid
ing the necessity Of q special investiga-
tion by an officer of the Helena board Of
health. The Standard is wrong. No
reflections on the words of those estima-
BILE gentlemen were intended; simply, a
procedure to satisfy many anxious peo-
pie who insisted that the health of this
city required n special and official in
quiry into the situation of affairs in
Anaconda. The word of Anaconda's
mayor, Col. Bill Thornton, is rs good as
q gold bond, but very many Helena peo-
pie have not the pleasure of knowing
the %colonel's honest and handsome coun-
tenance.

YEARS and. years ago, or about the
time the whole financial world was
shaken BY tho collapse Of the South Sea
bubble and moss-backs were their own
bankere, there lived a great teacher OF
men named Oliver Goldsmith. He was
an improvident fellow in pocket be-
cause, in the words OF a distinguished
Helena man, ale couldn't help it." but
he was rich in knowledge Of the world
and in love for humanity. He once
wrote a whole sermon in these words:
sour greatest glory consists not in
never falling, but In rising every time
we fall"
What a wealth Of suggestion and how
applicable to these times! Wherever
the blighting touch Of this panic has
been felt good men have fallen. They
will come right back. They are built OF
the stuff that inspired this poets gem Of
thought and SO long as health and
brains remain they will fight their re-
turn to the winning side. You can no
more turn them down than you can
make a horse stop running because he
has been beaten by q short neck in a
handicap event. In most instances they
are men, enterprising and alert, ready
and willing and ever working for the
prosperity of their cities. They have
earned the gratitude of their neighbors
in this labor and they may be assured
Of a full appreciation Of affairs and an
honest and loyal hope from all that they
will quickly return to to the ring side.

IT is proposed that several of the best
speakers of the miners union Of Mon
tana shall be sent to preach justice to
silver to the labor unions of the east. 1t
is a good scheme. Labor in all sections
of this country is suffering from the ef-
fects of silver characterization and the
consequent failure Of our government to
provide such volume of circulation as is
needed to transact the business of the
country. Let labor stand for its W
rights and the cause will soon be won.

IT is gratifying to know that after
the long and careful investigation two
bills OF indictment have been found
against tho officers who are alleged to
be responsible for the collapse Of Ford's

AN OFFICIAL CAT,
The New York Stock Exchange Feline
Has n Steady job.

1t isn't every cat that has the good
fortune to come into a settled income,
but that pleasing distinction from the
rest of his race is enjoyed by an animal
attached to the produce exchange staff.
says the New York Times. lie has had
the job of looking after the mice and
rats on the big exchange floor ever since
his lsittenhood. and he is now very
nearly full-grown cat, and IL stable
one as well. train samples are sure to
attract the rodents and the produce en-
change did not secure exemption from
their visits. Traps were tried with
some success, but the relief thus OBJ
tanned was only temporary, and it was
finally decided to resort to cat To
secure one which would not run away
at the first opportunity, it was deemed
wise to obtain d kitten, which, having
no experience of the delights of mid
night battles on back fences, would be
satisfied to get along without them.
The theory of this has proved to be
correct. The cat never leaves the main
floor of the building, and apparently is
satisfied with the hunting ground it
offers, spending the nights there with
praisewortby regularity. At nine
o'clock each morning he gives up bust
ness and seeks rest in carpeted cor
ner of the superintendent's Office.
When the gong rings at three o'clock
to warn the brokers that the exchange
day is over the cat starts out to patrol
his beat, making a leisurely circuit of
the hall and completing about the time
the last stragglers are disappearing.
He is good hunter, and cclipses the
achievements of the traps, his presence
on the floor ut night having resulted in
rendering the rats and mice far less of
a nuisance than they were. His pay
comes in the shape of regular rations,
while a polished metal collar about his
neck shows that he is the official" cat
of the exchange,

Death of Austin Hull

Austin Hull, for twenty wears a
resident of this county, died in Reno
last Tuesday of dropsy of the i've.
Last November Mr.. Hull fell from a
chair on which he was standing and
received internal injuries from which
he has been suffering ever since.
About the first of this month he
came to Hawthorne seeking relief
but as he did not improve here he
went to Reno, where he died after n
few days He had no relatives in
this State. He was native of At
water, Ohio, aged Is years. He was
buried in Reno last Wednesday. Mr.
Hull had experienced many ups and
downs, and for the past eight years
had been engaged in mining near
Hawthorne, but was not one of the
fortunate ones, He was a wholesonI
genial gentleman, and leaves host
OF friends to mourn his death.

Mackay's Physicians Compromise.

A compromise has been effected
over the disputed physician bill pre-
ferred by DR.. Keeney and DR.. Morse
against John W. Mackay for extract
ing the Rippy bullet and attending
him during his resultant illness.
Keeneys charge was $500, and
Morse'e 5000 Tie former agrees
to accept So, 900 and the latter 50, 600.
keeney made forty-fve visits, Morse
twenty-siX. 1t is said the settlement
was reached through the offices of
Richard Dye, private secretary to
Mr.. Mackay, The millionai at fl
declared in the most emphatic terms
that he wouldnot pay the bill or any
thing like it, and the physicians were
equally firm and determined to secure
full charge or nothing. Thus matters
stood when Mr.. Mackay left for the
east, Since then Mr.. Dyes diplo-
macy has been brought to bear
and all parties have accepted the
terms of settlement and the dispute
is happily ended.

SOME FAMOUS OLD WOMEN.
The Countess of Desmond Lived to Ire
las and Then Died by an Accident.


1t Is an acknowledged fact that a
great age is attained by women oftener
than by men. Tissot, with what the
St. Louis Post-Dispateh calls doubtful
gallantry, accounts for this by deelar-
ing that the large amount of talking
for which women are famous is n very
healthy exercise and promotes the cir
eulation of the blood without overeX-
erting the organs. The true reason,
probably, lies in the quieter and more
regular life usually led by women,
whose nervous system and brains are
consequently not Worn out so quickly,
as a rule. as those Of men. One of the
most famous of female centenarians
was the countess of Desmond. who
lived to be one hundred and forty-tive
and died in the reign of James |. from
the effects of an accident. This Won
derful woman found herself at the age
of one hundred so lively and strong rs
to be able to take part in dance, and
when she was one hundred and forty
she travelled all the way from Bristol to
London-no tritling journey in those
days-in order to attend personally to
some business affairs.
Lady Desmond is, however quite
thrown into the shade by n French
woman, Marie prion. who died in st.
Colombo in June, 1S3S, it is said, at the
wonderful age of one hundred and fifty
eight. Toward the end of her life she
lived exclusively on goats milk and
cheese. Although her body was SO
shrunll that she weighed only forty-six
pounds, she retained all her mental
faculties to the last.
1t is an extraordinary but incon-
testable fact that some women at the
age when most people die undergo
sort of natural process of regeneration
the hair and teeth grow again, the
wrinkles disappear from the skin, and
sight and hearing reacquire their
former sharpness. marquise de Mir
abeau is an example of this rare and re
marIable phenomenon; she died at the
age of eighty-siX, but Il few years be-
fore her death she became in appear
ance quite young again. The same
change happened to nun of the name
of Marguerite Nerdur, who at the age
of siXty-two lost her wrinkles, regained
her sight and grew several new teeth.
When she died, ten years later, her APP
pearance was almost that of young
girl.

made up of three rings of diameter of
twenty inches, the patch-like diamond
