THE WEATHER..
THE NEW ELECTRIC LINE.

The opening Of the new electric line
to the university suggests the heartiest
congratulations to promoters. 1t reaches
almost five miles from the city and pro-
yides a service admirable in every res
pect. There has been no false economy
in its construction, the road bed is as
solid and secure as money and time
could make it, the equipment is perfect
and it is at every point worthy OF the
praises Of both patrons and engineers.
It is possible that the line is ahead OF
the actual needs, but right here Is fine
evidence Of the progressive spirit OF
promoters. They are looking for busi-
ness, not from the university alone but
in the future from the suburban Il
try through which it passes. This is
now rapidly growing in population and
buildings and the new line makes it n
OF the most desirable resident districts
around Helena. The company wisely
decided to keep the fare at 10 cents to
and from the university, and though
this will result in a loss for a time, it
shows that the spirit which pushed the
road will be as liberal in it's treatment
Of the public as it is progressive.
The electric railway service Of Helena
is unsurpassed in the country. No city
has better roads with better equipment
or better management. This work has
all been done within a brief period.
Four years ago there was a single line

water. There are now lines running tc
all the suburbs, on all principal business
and residence streets and at every point
demanded by public convenience. The
system is fully in keeping with Helena's
Importance among the northwestern
cities and will be held up to the highest
standard.

Two interesting events dated for to-
morrow will be the formal opening OF
the Montana building at the Worlds
fair and the unwilling of the Montana
silver statue. We don't know how many
art critics from this state will be present
but they can safely tell all visitors that
the statue represents the greatest silver
mines in the world oven if it does not
typify justice, as sometimes practised in
Montana.

An English Newspaper Man Who Proved
Not Lacking in Nerve.

An English Newspaper Man VIII Proved
Not Lacking in Nerve.
Even the imperturbable American
newspaper man" could not surpass
the sang froid displayed recently by a
well known London journalist.
This gentleman was cited to appear
as a witness in a s and waited until
his patience was exhausted, when he
called out to a friend, who was also in
the ante chamber, that if he were not
summoned within five minutes he
should go away.
This was overheard by the judge of
the court, who happened to be passing
during a temporary adjournment. Ad-
dressing the journalist in a passion of
offended dignity; he said:
You will stay here as long as I see
fit to keep you. You appear to be
ignorant of the power of the law. Are
you aware that if 1 were to summon
Pril ce George to appear before me to-
morrow and he refused, 1 could have
him arrested9'
With the most innocent air in the
world, the journalist replied: IF I
were you, sir, I would not arrest such
an important parsonage, who, in adj
dition to being heir presumptive to the
throne of England, is also the duke of
York, and occupies a high position in
the navy"
You don't understand me" said the
judge, impatiently. I said if 1 chose
I"
"Of course you will do as you please
in the matter" said the other, phleg-
matically, but to arrest Prince George
is a serious matter"
81 never had the least intention"
"And BESIDES" continued the jour
nalist, there will be trouble when his
royal highness the Prince of Wales
learns that you intend to arrest his
eldest son."
20, stupidI' cried the judge.
However, that is your own affair"
went on this diabolical journalist. Il
am much obliged to you for telling me
of your intentions. AS soon as I am
free I shall hurry to the Office with the
exclusive news that Prince George is
to be arrested to-morrow-it is to NOR
row you intend arresting him, is it
not9"
But the judge had heard enough. In
despair he turned on his heel, and call
ing out ''idiotl imbecile p fled, leaving
the journalist standing with a sardonic
smile on his lips Boston Globe.

FRIED ONIONS.
The art Of frying an onion so that it
will be deljclte and crisp is not gener-
ally understood. There is but one way
to fry this vegetable which will give
the right result-that is, to cut it in
slices and soak them in milk for at
least ten minutes. Then dip the slices
in -four and immerse them in boiling
fat, hot enough to brown instantly a
bit Of bread thrown in it. You cannot
keep the onion in slices, so it is not
worth while to try to do so. After
they have friadf0r six or seven minutes
they may be lifted up with a skinner
on to bro Gn paper and will be found

IN this way they may be served as a

LAKEWOOD, N. J., Jan. 29.-It was
learned today that Cleveland has filled
only two positions of his cabinet with
certainty, Carlisle for the treasury and
Lamont for the navy. 1t was under
stood here last week that Bayard had
accepted the state portfolio, but it now
seems that the report was premature.
From one in close touch with Cleve-
land, it was learned ssat the president
elect would probably select his former
partner, Wilson S. Bissel of Buf-
falo, for the attorney generalship.
Among others who it is said are
being considered for cabinet positions
by Mr.. Cleveland are Governor Gray
of Indiana, Senator Morgan of Alabama,
Governor Russell of Massachusetts,
Hoke Smith of Georgia, Patrick Collins
OF Massachusetts and Don M. Dickinson.
In an interview today Cleveland
said: "The date is now at hand when
must have more time to myself. Since
the election most of my time has been
devoted to Interviews, which is not un-
pleasant and not improbable, but
other things are now pending which

BY the Associated Press.
PIrTsBURa, Pa, Jan. 29.-For the first
time since his return from Europe An
drew Carnegie consented to talk in re-
gard to the Homestead affair and spoke
freely this afternoon to an Associated
Press correspondent. He said he de-
sired to make one point clear at the be-
ginning. Four years ago he retired
from active business and no considera-
ton in the world would induce him to
return to it. A great error OF Americans
is that they endure the harassing cares
incident to business until they break
down when they should be in their
prime. He believed in retiring and CIV
ing younger men chance. He had
sold portions of his interests and
was gradually selling more to such
young men in their service as his part
ners find possessed of ability. He was
not an officer in the company, but only
a shareholder, and to the numerous ap-
peals he received urging him to give
instructions in regard to the recent
trouble, he says he had no power to in
struct anybody connected with the COM
pany. The officers were elected for a
year, and no one could interfere with
them. Even at the next election, if he
desired to make a change, he would be
powerless to do so, as he is
sure he could not find one
shareholder that would not vote and
stand by the present officials.

manufacturing business l have helped

less they are, have nothing, and that is
how elect to stand. take chances with
my partners and have the satisfaction
of knowing that the first charge upon
every dollar of my capital is still the
payment of the highest earnings paid to

lar SERVICE"
Mr.. Carnegie eulogized Mr.. Frick in
the highest manner, saying his four
years. management stamps him as one
of the foremost managers in the word,
and he (Carnegie) would not exchange
him for any other manager he knows. A
good workman or an able man, said he,
who wished to do what is fair and right
will learn to appreciate Mr.. Frick. In
efficient officials or bad, unreasonable,
violent workmen, he does not like. and
these will not thrive with him.
