An unusual incident occurred at
the close of Sam Jones' sermon
at Pulaski the other day, says the
Hartwell, (Ga.) Sun. Stepping down
from the pulpit, folding his hands
across his breast, and looking
solemnly over the audience, the great
revivalist said:
81 want all the women in this
crowd who have not spoken harsh
word or harbored an unkind thought
toward their husbands for a month
past to stand up"
One old woman, apparently on the
shady side of go, stood up.
"Come forward and give me your
hand," said the preacher.
The woman did so, whereupon
Jones said:

audience see the best looking woman

ledge of the ingredients. Learned
members of the bar say that this de-
cision practically neutralizes legisla-
ton enacted by numerous state leg
islatures looking to the protection of
legitimate dairy interests by compel
ling oleomargarine and other imita-
tons of butter to be sold as such, and
only holding the retail dealer respon-
slble for any false pretense. Under
Judge Harlan's decision there is not
a grocer in the country who cannot
palm off the imitation article as gen
uine butter and then lay his hand on
his heart and solemnly swear that he
had no knowledge of the ingredients
Of the article sold. The numerous
manufacturers of this product, who
have spent immens sums in opposing
hostile legislation, will under this
decision be able to food the country
with their goods in any guise they
may see fit to send it out. 1t is not
unlikely that meeting of the nation
al dairymen's association will be held
at an early date to consider addition
al means for self protection necessi-
tated by Judge Harlan's ruling
Helena Telegram.

AN AWFUL BUTCHERY.
"A Missouri Maniac Performs the
Most Chilling, Blood-Curdling
Deed ON Record.

The most horrible human butch
cry ever recorded in all Missouri was
committed five miles southwest of
Rldgeway, that state, Tuesday last.
ID. U. Spragg, in fit of insanity,
murdered his wife and two children
and mortally wounded two step chill
dren. He then took his own life.
The weapon of death which the ma.
MAC welded with such appalling re-
suits was large butcher knife.
The nearest neighbor lives almost
mile distant, and it was some time
before the news spread. In few
hours number of people arrived
from town and an investigation of
the scene was made. The most sick
ening sight met their gaze. Lying
in the yard near the gate was the
body of Mrs. spragg, mutilated al
most beyond recognition and her dis
heveled hair drowned in pool of
blood surrounding her. In the little
dwelling in one corner of the sitting
room lay the lifeless body of little
Galley, g years old, and in another
that of Albert, 4 years old. Albert's
head, resting on slate was a mass
of blood and brains. Blood still
oozed from the gaping wounds in the
throats of each. On the kitchen floor
with blood smeared all over his face
and hands, lay the author of the aw-
full scene. Two stepchildren of
Spragg, both under six, were taken
to the home of a neighbor, where
they are dying from dozens of cuts
that cover their bodies

After taking her seat the revivalist
addressed the men:
"Now ] want all the men in this
crowd who have not spoken hard
word or harbored an unkind thought
toward their wives for month past
to stand up"
Iwenty-seven great bin strapping
fellows hoped out of the audience
with all the alacrity of champagne
corks.
"Come forward and give me your
hands, my dear boys"
Jones gave each one vigorous
shake, after which he ranged all of
them side by side in front of the pull
pit and facing the audience. He
looked them over carefully and SOL
emnly and then turning around to
the audience, he said:
81 want you all to take a good
look at the % biggest liars in the
state of Tennessee"

Shot in Cold Blood.

William Barnes shot and instantly
killed Myron G. Young in saloon
at the Great Northern depot in Butte
about g o'clock Friday evening.
1t was another in the long list of
coldblooded and causeless murders
that have lately shocked the people
of that city.
Barnes was brakeman on the
Montana Central railway and Young
was an engineer on the Butte, Ana
conda q Pacific. They were with a
number of other railroad men in the
saloon. The men were joking
among themselves when some harm
less remark was made, to which
Barnes took exception. He struck
Young, whereupon the latter knocked
Barnes down. Barnes left the saloon
and went to his home about a block
distant, and got a revolver. Re-
turning to the saloon he walked up
to Young, placed the revolver to his
face and fired. The bullet entered
the left eye and was instantly fatal.
"Well, ] guess he is dead" cody
remarked Barnes and left the saloon.
Young was widower. Barnes
was married about two months ago.

Social Meeting Between His

WONDERFUL THINGS ARE SPOKEN.
Big Wheels will be Started up
Where There Are now
no Wheels.

On wednesday last Marcus DAILY
made a business visit to Belt and
returned to Great Falls Friday noon,
says the Tribune. Taking advantage
of his presence few of the friends
of the gentleman in this city invited
him to be their guest at an informal
dinner, which took place at the Park
hotel Friday evening. The hosts Of
the occasion were G. NJ. Webster,
Matt Dunn, Paris Gibson, j. F. Fox,
I. E. Collins, DR.. Sweat, DIR. Fair
field, Mayor Gelsthorpe, G. 7. Curtis,
Tim Brosnan, 7. K. Brady, James

Thomas Wright, Robert Vaughn,
Geo. H. Goodrich, w. ID. Dickinson,
w. r. Brown, p. A. Julien, P. Fl.
Kelley and J. P. Veasey. The af-
fair was without any ceremony, the
menu card bearing the inscription
complimentary dinner to Mr..
Marcus DAILY by few of his 2,097
friends in Cascade county" The
dinner was served in the ladies' ordi-
nary and Manager Kelley of the
hotel did himself and his establish
ment full justice in the preparation
and service of the dinner, for it was
in all respects a tempting feast.
At the close of the repast the
"copper king" made an impromptu
speech After speaking in general
of the great capital fight and of the
position he had born in it, he ex-
pressed his willingness for all hands,
regardless of any ill-feeling that
might exist, to bury the hatchet and
all hands together work for the up
ouiidlnS OF the state.
Speaking of Great Falls, he said
that during the campaign no pledges
had been made, but certain state
ments had been given out as to the
future course of the Anaconda com
pany in this section, and he wished it
to be distinctly understood that every
statement would be more than veri-
fed. He was not in position to
give either facts or figures, but he
assured his hearers that in the near
future enterprises whose magnitude
they did not dream would be inaug-
urated here, in fact he said that with
in three years Great Falls would be
shipping steel rails to the east and
rolled copper to India. For this he
did not wish to take any special
credit, as it was simply business
proposition, but he did want it un-
derstood that he was in the Great
Falls procession. He paid high
compliments to j. J. Hill as one of
the ablest and most progressive men
OF the times, and urged those present
to appreciate his services to Great
Falls, for he assured them that Mr..
Hill had been and is now always
mindful of the prosperity of the city,
and was necessarily and earnestly
working for its advancement.

Chinese force to retire from Saba

fought with vigor but were com.
pletely routed, fleeing in disorder.

Silver Finds an Able and Earn.
est Defender Among the
Eastern Bankers.
A VOICE As FROM THE WILDERNESS.
A Most Vigorous Plea for Free
Coinage Before the Fin
ance Committee.

Great interest was manifested in
the closing hearing of the question
of currency revision before the COM
mittee on banks and currency of the
house. President Williams of the
Chemical national bank of New York
represented the prevailing view
among bankers, while President St.
John of the Mercantile bank of New
York represented the eastern view
favorable to silver.
"The first problem in our clumsy
and conglomerate financial system is
the disposition to be made of our le-
gal tender notes. said Williams. He
urged that these notes should be
funded $5O,0O0,OOO at time until
eliminated from the financial system.
bonds at per cent should be re-
ceived as security for national bank
notes of the basis Of the par value,
the government to have first lien
on the assets of the bank. The notes
should be redeemable at New York
city, and when issued in sufficient
volume, being readily convertible,
would furnish adequate elasticity to
the currency. The tax on the circu-
lation of national banks should at
once be removed. AS to the Balti-
more plan, Williams said it would be
safe in large city, but it might
start many mushroom banks, mainly
with view to issuing notes and the
failure of such banks would cause a
loss to the whole system. Conserva-
tive and well managed institutions
would absolutely refuse to join hands
in meeting losses sure to arise from
these mushroom banks. After fund
ing the legal tender notes and Civ
ing a new national bank issue, Will
Jams said the next step wrs to look
after the silver certificates and the
Sherman notes.
AS to silver certificates, congress
should pass a law redeeming them in
silver bullion at the market price at
the discretion of the secretary of the
treasury, and it might be well simil
arly to redeem the Sherman notes.
With these changes the currency
system would become absolutely safe
and the banking system the most
perfect ever devised.
President St. John lent much
spirit to the hearing by the
vigor of his statement and it's
novelty in coming from an eastern
banker. "Under official dictation,"
said he, "tutored by the most ag-
gressive Of all the handful of goldites
in the United States, congress fddles
with bank notes while the burning
issue is our primary money coin. In
tentionally tutored, our chief execu-
tive has required his secretary to abb
andon the option conferred by law
upon the United states, and grant
holders of notes the right to exact
gold always, silver never, as their re-
deeming coin. Had the option to
redeem in silver coin been exercised
boldly, at time when only three
millions of silver dollars we're owned
by the United States, with the own
ership of sl16,OOO,OOO in gold, any
possible alarm could have been
hushed to scorn. To seize upon and
exercise the option now, or under the
prospective conditions OF the treasu-
ry, is to court all the perils of disas-
ter"

TWO SILVER SPEECHES.
David Holmes of England and Wharf,
ton Barker of Philadelphia on
Bimetallism.

Two notable speeches on bimet-
allism were delivered at the banquet
of the Denver manufacturers Ex-
change. David Holmes, of the par
limentary committee of the Trades
Union congress of the United King
dom, representing 1,250,O00 wage
earners, speaking to the toast Obi
metallism and the wage earners,"
said: "Thinking men account for
the trade depression by the appreci-
alton of gold and the demonetization
of silver in 1873 and since. If
silver is restored to it's former posi-
ton, it will revive trade and com
merce the world over Public opin-
ion in England has recently grown
rapidly on the subject and textile
workers and others are cooperating
with the bimetallic league. The
recent experiment of the British
government with the financial and
currency question in India is fiat
failure, and the Indian government
is at it's wits end to raise necessary
revenue. Bimetallism will be an i'm
portant factor at the next British
general election in 1895, and there
will be test on the question in
Lancashire and other constituencies
for parliamentary candidates"
Hon. Wharton Barker of Philadel-
phia, speaking on "Bimetallism and
manufacturers" said: "The professors
of the political science in Great
Britain, men in the front rank in
Europe and America, favor bimetal-
lism. All opposition comes from the
money lenders. The demonetiza-
ton of silver has contracted the
worlds money almost one-half and
appreciated gold to the great advan-
tage of the creditor class and the
damage and ruin of the debtor class.
The proposed plan of bank currency
set forth in President Cleveland's
message should be opposed by every
citizen who has the welfare of the
people at heart. Bimetallism must
be restored by independent action
by America, and can be whenever
the people are determined to have
financial as we'll as industrial inde-
pendence, and abandon British gold
monometallism as they have done
British free trade; whenever they
know the difference between the
American policy and an alien poll
cy." He suggested that Americans
admit silver from American mines
upon payment seignorage absorbing
three fourths the difference between
the London price and trade value,
and that foreign silver be admitted
for coinage at seignorage absorbing
all of the difference between London
price and the coinage value.
''rhe road to American prosperi-
ty," he said, sis bimetallism and pro-
lection. The true protective system
will protect the American laborer,
extend American commerce, and at
the same time preclude trusts, COM
binations and monopolies."
