Anaconda on business, banking, mer
camille, law, etc, as compared with
Helena? Does he not go to Helena
ten to one oftener? Yes, he does.
Then would it not be the height of
FOLLY to locate the capital in an out OF
the way place where one scarcely ever
calls On business matters? 1t Helena
is chosen then one can attend to busi
ness affairs with merchants, etc, and
at the same time look after any inter
ests with state officials. This fact
alone ought to be decisive. Then Hell
ena viii always be "A prominent city.
Its location and surroundings are
such as to warrant it. Not so with
Anaconda. There is comparatively
nothing tributary that would con-
tInue to keep her up when the smelters
close down, as they are liable to do at
any time. One OF the uncertain things
in the world is the length of time a
mining camp will live. Examples are
not wanting of towns as ambitious as
Anaconda which bid fair to live as
long or longer, in a few years becoming
almost entirely deserted. Perhaps
Virginia City, New, may serve as an
illustration. The people who built up
the city did not expect the bottom to
so soon fall out of the Comstoek
mines. But their expectations did
not postpone the collapse one day.
The costly piles OF brick and mortar,
costing hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, ale now inhabited by bats and
owls. Imagine, if you please, stately
capitol buildings, representing a hun
dred thousand dollars, situated in
Anaconda, smelters closed, citizens
removed, save state officials, grass
growing on the streets, with the still
ness OF deserted village" only
broken by the piaintIve notes of the
mourning dove and the occasional
jingle OF a solitary cowbell. Would it
be good business sense to select a cap
ital location involving such great un-
certainties as does the west side city?
Again, times are very hard. There
are no differences OF opinion as to the
fact. Montana is in no condition to
build capitol buildings now. Ii it re.
mains at Helena there will be no ne.
cessity to build tillprosperity returns.
The writer has corversed with several
residents of Gallatiu county and Is
persuaded that when the votes are
counted they will show a good major
ity in favor OF Helena.

A Successful Conference.

The second session of the North,
Montana mission has been in every
particular one of the best sessions OF
any in the memory OF Montana preach
ers. The beautiful situation of the
town to the tired itinerant after D.
wearisome ride of two days, was a de-
lightful surprise, dissipatIng the feel
ing that Lewistown would be some
ment has been above the average
The doctors have prescribed for the
preachers freely, the newspaper pub
fishers have allowed them to pi their
type, the soda water man has run 3
free fountain, the stages have COM
peted for cheap rates and even the
chickens have gwen up life freely, all
for the sake OF hospitality.
The sessions have been delightful,
business dispatched promptly and
the social meetings times of great re-
freshing. The debates were full OF
vigor and the impromptu addresses OF
the bishop instructive. All depart
ments of church work Indicate prog
ress. The benevolent collections are
20 per cent greater than last year;
the increase In church embershIp
and property gratifying, and the
preachers are encouraged to en-
counter obstacles another year to
bring about a like result.
The coming of DIR. s. A. Keen OF
Delaware, OHIO, has been very helpful
to both clergy and laity. AS result
OF his efforts there will be some
twenty-five accessions to the church-
He was not forgotten on Sabbath
and free will Offering was given him
that showed the appreciation OF the
people for his services.
The hall on Sunday morning was
hardly large enough to contain the
people desiring to hear the eloquent
bishop His text was an appropriate
| one and there are not many who viii
! forget the sermon preached. For an
hour he held the people as he unfolded
the meaning OF his text. After the
sermon a collection amounting to
$3.50 was raised to meet an obliga-
ton upon the church. The evening
service was a great one and DIR. >. A
Keen had charge of same. He is an
expert along the peculiar line that he
works and has demonstrated to the
people his ability to carry on a good
work.
After the closing of the evening ser
vice the bishop read the appointments Is
for the ensuing year and the confer
ence closed.

Zinc In Germany.

The fact is not generally knowL
perhaps that more zinc is produced
in Germany than in any other coun-
try in the world. According to Kuh-
lows recent estimate, the annual eX-
pOrtation amounts TO some 5000
tons. The main production district
is claimed for upper Silesia, where
the metal is made from calamine,
and also more and more from zinc
blende by distillation, and the smelt-
ing of zinc blende has led here, as in
other places, to the establishment of
very perfect arrangements for util-
izing and preventing the deleterious
effects of the sulphurous acid gener-
ated in roasting such ore.
Further, though the smelling of
zinc is a matter of much difficulty in
most localities, on account of the
presence of other metals in the ore,
this trouble is overcome, it seems, by
a careful preparation of the ores and
publication of the zinc obtained. BY
the use, too, of regenerative gas heat
ing furnaces and well adapted con-
densers the cost of production has
been reduced and loss of metal pre-
vented. With the smelling of the
zinc small production of cadmium
is connected New York Sun.

Facts About Coal Supply.

Of all the coal mined in the world
from the beginning of this century
to the present time Great Britain has
produced one half. In 1891 she mined
80 per cent of the worlds product,
while the United States produced 33
per cent. The United States is in
creasing its output of coal at the rate
of 10 per cent per annum, while the
increase in Great Britain is less than
2 per cent. The cost of coal is in
creasing in Great Britain and de-
creasing in the United States. Eng
land exports 81 per cent of her total
product of coal, while the United
States exports less than l per cent

1t is an unfortunate fact that all OF
Chicago architecture is not good, but
in many of the high buildings her
architects have shown that they are
moving in the right path. No build
ings of the present day have been SO
laughed at as the high Office build
ings of Chicago, yet in no buildings,
as a rule, have the correct principles
of high building design been more
frankly admitted.
Chicago is so new q city that her
people are not SO closely subjected to
the influence of tradition and custom
as in the east. The progressive spirit
of the west has no place for prece-
dent where it does not rest on rea-
son and is not superior to something
new. The eXigencies of Chicago life
having caused the evolution of the
high building, Chicago architects
have been quick to recognize the i'm
possibility of following ordinary
methods of design in it and have at
tackled the problem in new way, as
it properly demanded. Scribners

Years Didn't Count.

Napoleon, in the course of his Ital-
ian campaign, took a Hungarian bat
talon prisoners. The colonel, an old
man, complained bitterly of the
French mode of fighting, by rapid
and desultory attacks on the flank,
the rear, the lines of communication,
etc, concluding by saying that he
fought in the army of Maria The
resa. "You must be DID," said Ma

Is Advertising Read?

Brooklyn women may not find the
pages the most attractive
part of the newspapers, but they GER
tainly read every word of them. One
day a big retail house advertised a
sale of shoes at an astonishingly low
price. At 80 o'clock in the morn
ing there were several hundred wom-
en- in the shoe department, and by
noon there wasn't a pair left in the
store. Women who did not get
around until the afternoon grieved
sorely, and when on the next day a
rival house advertised another sale
of shoes at 3 cents below the price
asked ON the preceding day several
thousands of Brooklyn women de
termined not to be left. At o'clock
in the morning several thousand
women were crowding into the store,
and there was almost a riot when it
was discovered that the shopgirls
had taken advantage of the oppor-
tunity and were already trying on
the most desirable part of the stock
still remaining.-New York Mail and

Tops,

Most of the tops that the boys spin
are made in Pennsylvania. In one
Pennsylvania town there is factory
that employs more than 200 hands
making tops. Tops are made of box
wood, maple and lignum vitae. TAX
ing all kinds of tops together, a larger
number of maple are sold than Of
either of the other woods. Boxwood
comes next, and next lignum vitae,
but in the aggregate amount of the
sales of each kind the lockwood tops
are first, the maple next and the lig-
mum vitae last. Not many hgnum
vite tops are sold on account of their
cost. The ignum vitae tops are sold
more in the south and in the north.
west than in other parts of the copn
try. 1t may be of interest to note
that most of the iron pegs used IN
peg tops are cast in Newark, N. j.

FOR WHOM DID YOU voTEg'


The following letter is from one Of our
noss sensible and respected citizens,
;.nd q man who i3 not in any way q
politician:
The above has boen q very frequent
question since last Mondays election.
Some who voted on last Monday have
been trying hard to persuade them
selves, and others, that they were very
conscientious voters, because they did
what they all pleased to call a brave
and conscientious act''-when they
scratched" Fox and voted fer Smith;
and have been posing as semi-martyrs
ever since-when as fact all such were
guilty of both a cowardly and selfish
act, cowardly because they deserted the
only party which has the courage to
carry out its previously avowed prin-
ciples; selfish because they did what
they could to defeat man who voiced
their principles. because Of personal
grievances and disliles.
/ hold that / voted not only consci-
enNous, but a consistent vote, when I
put one in for John Fox. When I east
that vote I did not feel that was vot-
ing for John Fox, but that I was cast
ing It for n United States senator, a
position above all others in which in
these times we need man OF sound po-
litical principles, to head off this Popu-
list craze, which would soon wreck what
remains Of our national prosperity, II
once in power. Hence. do not see how
any conscientious Republican could, con-
sistently, cast vote directly against its
own advanced principles.

SENSIBLE SUGGESTION.

Said a business man: II would like to
see the day when theological colleges
will add practical business educatiof
to their course Of study. Every minister
ought to have had a business education
before he undertakes to become leader
and teacher Of men and women. There
would be fewer churches wrecked finan-
cially, and there would be more people
helped In the real difficulties of life.
