BEAUTIES.
Steve BrodIe Advertises for n HomeIy
Man.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2S.-Steve Brodie has
been holding an anti-beauty show. He
| advertised for the homelest man in New
York city TO present himself at the Peo-
pies theater for employment in the play,
"On the Bowery." Brodie does not suffer
from the fatal gift of beauty himself, but
he had a revelation when he entered the
lobby of the Peoples theater.
Looks like er masquerade. don't il P"
said Steve, with grin, as his eye sur
veyed the countenances which frescoe
the lobby. "Oh my, but amt dey
butes 2"
The scene was suggestive of a set of liv-
ing pictures from Gustav Dore; like a
kaleidoscope view of Dantes' anti-celestial
paradise with subdued colorings. Ii was
a panorama of intensified ugliness, COW
cred with n varnish of complacency.
There were fully 90 applicants in line.
Brodie passed in review and made COM
ments in his own peculiar style.
"Oh, come here, fellers, here's a peach :"
yelled the excited Steve, as he caught the
coat collar of little, weazened fellow.
"Dis is de guy fur my money. oh, pipe
his mug. Amt il er prize?'
The members of the art committee, on
whose decision rested the fate of the prize,
turned the little fellow around and looked
at him. They took off his hat and a shout
went up, for the head was as bald as a
pumpkin. The Uranium was shaped like
n crippled squash, and his features did
entire Justice to the ensemble. There
was apparently no dispute among them.
Their decision could not help being uuan-
imous.
'Iouse fellers kin go home said Steve.

Brodie turned his prize over TO the prop

IN THE CAUSE OF TEMPERANCE.

Night In Butte.

Miss Mechanism spoke Eloquently Last
Night In Butte.
BUTTE, Feb. 28.-Miss Mertie McClana-
han spoke on the subject of temperance
at the Congregational church tonight,
taking as her text, Proverbs %, 1 and =.
She said that the effects of intemperance
were plainly set forth in the daily papers
so that no one could be ignorant of the
evil. She defended the practic of total
abstinence as the only safe course. She
quoted freely from the old and new testa-
ments to sustain her view. She said that
the daily use of liquor and respectable
lily we're inconsistent and impossible.
She condemned the use of liquor in society
as a dangerous step toward drunkenness
and argued that temperance was a duty
which gave full excuse for disobedience
TO parents when they placed their chill
dren where they must choose between abb
stenance and IL o use of liquor. She con-
sldered drunkenness about the worst sin
possible for the human race and a
supreme disgrace to womanhood.
The lecture was sustained by local illus
trations and in closing Mss McClanahan
expressed her personal unbelief in secret
orders including the Good Templars, but
declared rs we'll that they did much good
and shou d be supported in behalf of those
who believed in them and others who
were helped by their existence.

delegates elected, but the great body of
delegates will not report until they come

that this convention will commence
promptly at 10 o'clock and urge their
people to be at the opening of the first
