ga Temperance Town."

Hoyt's "a Temperance Town" is par
ticularly interesting to New England peo-
pie just now even more than during the
earlier period of its lorg engagement in
Boston, where it completed six months at
the Park theatre, for recently a number of
cities and towns In this vicinity have been
added to the list of so-called temperance
towns. 1t will be most interesting then,
when author Charles H. Hoyt brings his
latest play here. which will be at the opera
house Thursday evening, TO see how he
ridicules both the temperance people and
the rum people, and sizes up the great
question generally in his merry satirical

WORLD OF SPORTS.
The Waterbury, Take Game From the
Meridens without Haf Trying.


Meridens Without Ha,f Trying.
Meriden had made all preparations to
hang the scalps of the Brass City ball
players at the belts of the Silver City boys
on Saturday, but alas, what woe was theirs,
as in shoots. out shoots, zigzags and cork
screw curves, were continually coming in
the way of the visitors bats. It was an
awful agony to the Meriden team, but a
lot of pie mixed with little base ball
cream to the visitors. All the boys put up
good game and batted like trojans. Our
own William Fox headed the list and toyed
with the Meriden pitcher as a cat would
with mouse. One Dagger, one three
Dagger and home run IS a record to be
proud of. Collins and James, the battery,
are all right and proved that they can
touch up few curves when necessary
Manager Peoples and young Brennan are
two others who deserve special mention.
They played ball all the time. Lauder,
Norton, Donahue and Bottom know their
positions and play them we'll. In fact the
whole team was a corker. Following is
the score;

Will Caucus Tonight.
ALBANY, May 7.-Delegates to the con-
stitutional convention have arrived in
pretty fair numbers at the various hotels,
and gossip of the organization of the body
is in order. Most of those arriving are del

men are expected tonight. The delegates
now here seem to favor Hon. Thomas g.
Alvord for the presidency of the conven-
gates favor Mr.. Choate, and they outnum-
Der the country delegates almost three to
one. 1t is doubtful if the Democrats will
put up a candidate for president, and in
the event of their not doing SO they will
cast their votes for Mr.. Choate.
The convention delegates of Republican
proclivities will nominate in caucus to-
night, and there Is spirited contest going
on for the position of sergeant-at-arms,

cool, well-shaded veranda, or in a

Artist and Artlete.
Boston journal.

DOSIOu OOuIHdls
Let us consider for a moment a
singular abuse of language. 1t is
a fashion now to speak of Mr.
SWEET as an "artist," and of Miss
Sweet as an "artiste," and thus
grammatical tribute is paid to sex
Now the word "artist" in English
as in French, is both masculine and
feminine. Mr.. SWEET, the accom-
plished thunderer at the piano, is
an "artiste" and Miss Sweet is an
"artist," SO far as any distinction
of sex is concerned. But nine out
of ten who employ these words be.
lieve that "artiste" is distinctly
and distinctively feminine.
The word "artiste" was intro.
duced into the English language
in consequence of"the modern ten
dency to restrict artist to those
engaged in the fine arts, and espe
cially painting Artistic means q
public performer who appeals tC
the aesthetic faculties, as a profes
siolal singer, dancer, etc., also one
who makes a "tine art" of his EN-,
ployment, as an artistic cook, hair'
dresser, etc.

BUTTE's sOLIDITY.

The persistency in which the Ana
conda Standard claims that Butte is
ssolid for Anaconda" is striking proof
of the desperation to which the Ana
conda campaigners are driven in their
attempt to win through political trickery
and fragrant misrepresentation.
When Butte becomes convinced that
it is just and fair to locate the capital OF
Montana in a town controlled absolute
ly by one corporation, it will be solid for
Anaconda.
When the people Of Butte forget the
duty they owe to themselves. their state
and their posterity. they will be solid
for Anaconda.
When Butte becomes so corrupt poiit-
ically that money can purchase its sover-
eighty, it will be solid for Anaconda.
When Butte forgets that it was .sAna-
conda that defeated her in the capital
race two years ago, she will be solid for
Anaconda.
When the business men OF Butte be-
come SO afflicted with blindness that
they are willing to build up town
which will deprive them of large per
centage of their trade, Butte will be sol
id for Anacond..
When the p ople OF this city forget
the model nass meeting" and grow
blind to the fact that the Anaconda
company has oeen arrogant, dictatorial
and tryannical in it's attempt to contro
the destinies of this city and state they
Gill be solii for Anaconda.
When the people of Butte forget thai
the corporation which assumes to bt
the politial dictator and lays claim tc
the suffrage of the voters. is the one cor
poration which uses its employees fol
political purposes and has its minei
closed nearly half the time-then, anc
not till then will Butte be solid for Ana
conda.
When the votes are counted the Ana
conda shouters will discover that there
is no small amount of pride and intelli
gsnce in Butte, pride and intelligence
that will be solid against the proposeC
surrender to men who though unable t.
vote in Montana lbrazenly impeach thu
integrity Of the state by attempting t.
purchase it's seat Of government ant
prostitute it's politics. That is thu
solIdity that constitutes the stone wal
against which the Anaconda boomer
will butt their heads on election day
