Frederick Douglass.

Just fifty years ago, Frederick Doug
lass wrote a book of which the title
was Narrative of My Experience in
Slavery" At that time Douglass was
about twenty-seven years old lie was
an interesting person. His position,
as he became widely known, was
unique He pleaded for his race, he
was cordially supported by the aboli-
tionists-what few there were of them
in those days-he was something of a
lion in England.
Douglass was white mans son,
but bis mother was a slave. The war
of the rebellion brought him into dis
tinction in the United States. lie re-
ceived marked favors in the way of
Office at the hands of President Grant
he was at the zenith of his influence
about twenty years ago.
Emancipation brought to the front
q good many colored men who prob
ably were the peers of Douglass in in.
tellect-some of them were more
clever than he in making things come
their way. Still, he had been the faith
full prophet of his people, and he will
probably retain rank as the most
prominent colored man of his time in
the United States.

The Placing of the Bonds.

The word is sent from London that
the Carlisle bond issue is a colossal
success" That is to say, the issue is
a shining success from the stan dpoint
of the bankers; they were delighted to
pick up United States four per cent.
bonds and take them at a premium
the market was glad to take this coun-
try's bonds at three per cent dozen
years ago.
The handling of these bonds was the
work of the Belmonts and the Nor
gans Yesterdays sales abroad were
made, so the dispatches say, at four
per cent. premium; the Belmonts and
the Morgans, thanks to the presence of
Mr. Carlisle in the treasury depart
ment, will not have to go to the poor
house this year; the bond deal is in the
nature of what would be called very
soft snap for them.
One English newspaper says that
the success of the American loan is "a
mark of confidence in the great fnan-
cial stability of the United States;" as
if it were a matter for congratulation
that this great country can float a
miserable sIxty-million loan at higher
rates of interest than the country has
lately been obliged to pay
With yesterdays news relating to
the sale of bonds, comes the informa-
tion that Mr.. Carlisle does not intend
to resign his membership in the cab
met. The denial is superfluous-we
suppose there are not twenty people
in the country who suspected the sec
rotary of any intention of resigning.
He's a very popular man for those
who, thus far, have been able to manipu-
late the federal treasury for their own
behalf and benefit.
What about the reserve? That is
the fund in the interest of which this
latest sale of bonds was made. The
bankers and brokers have played tag
with this fund for a year 1t will be
built up to the hundred million limit
as the result of the bond sale, but it
can be broken down again to fifty
millions or TO forty or TO twenty if the
men who have the money conclude to
continue their game. If they do it,
there will be another bond sale before
the Fourth of July

Death of Dick TraYelIick.

Many a man in Montana will be sim
cerely sorry to read the dispatch from
Detroit, Mich, announcing the death
of Richard I. Travellick. For more
than thirty years Captain Travellick
was a conspicuous figure in the ranks
of organized labor; he was one of the
most sincere men that ever took rank
as so-called leader of labor. On the
platform or in the public press his ex-
pressions commanded respect; he was
earnest, able and honest. Captain
Travellick loved humanity; during his
eventful career he did what he could
to ameliorate the condition of the
laboring classes. Born in England
nearly seventy years ago, he early
went to sea. In New Zealand and
Australia he was prominently identi-
fed with the eight-hour movement. In
1865 he was president of the interna-
tional labor congress in Europe. He
organized the National Labor union
in America and became its president
in 1871
OF Captain Travellick it has been
said that he never considered the
financial consequence as related to
himself. The labor congress of Amer
lea voted him three thousand dollars
as president, but he declined toreceive
so large a sum; he said fifteen hundred
dollars was enough for him to live on.
Besides being lover of his race he
was great lover of dumb brutes; he
was an ardent devotee of nature, and
he loved the forests, hills and uplands
with all the enthusiasm of one of
poetic mind. lie sought the good i'll
everything, and the sweetness and
charm of even the inanimate things
that surrounded him. He was bluff,
generous, honest man; an enduring
monument to his memory remains in
the good he has done mankind.

Paris special: The Comte de Castel-
lane, whose engagement to Anna Gould Of
New York is announced, belongs to one of
the oldest families in France, their patents
dating back to the year 1000. Prior to that
the heads of the family we're princes Of
Provence and vassals of Charlemagne.
The family succession includes many
chevaliers of the Ordre de Esprit.
The counts great grandfather was Mar
shall de Castellane, who was a famous
soldier during the first empire, and his
grandfather was q deputy under the reign
of Louis Philippe.
His father, the present Marquis de Cas-
tellane was a monarchist deputy in 1871,
and since that time has been we'll known
as q literateur, his works on mod
ern French history ranking among
the classic writings. The Mar
quise de Castellane, mother of the comte,
is a niece of the Comic de JuiGne, whose
family is of the creme &c la creme of
Paris. The Paris residence of the mar
quis and likewise of the Comte de Castel-
lane, is at No. Boulevard de la Tour
Maubourg, and their country residence at
the Chateau de Rochecotte, Lauraine,
where the great Talleyrand, who was an
uncle of the present marquis, lived for 20
years.
The fortune of the marquis consists of
land valued at 100000 francs.
The Comte de Castellane is a member
of the Cercle de rUnion. He is a good
horseman and a clever draughtsman.

an out-snd-out royalist. Clarence Ash
ford was at one time attorney general I'm
1889, when the reciprocity treaty was ne
Rotiated between Hawaii and the United
States. In addition to providing for an
extention of reciprocal relations, provi-
sion was also made for the cession of
Pearl harbor to the United States. 1t
was understood while negotiations were
going on that no treaties we're to be made
between Hawaii and any other foreign
government without tine consent of the
United States.
All OF sudden IL became necessary for
Clarence Ashford to go to Canada, where
he had conference with the late premier,
Sir John A. Macdonald. As a result of
this conference, when Clarence Ashford
returned to Honolulu he induced the king
to postpone the treaty negotiations indeh-
nitely. Nowlein, who is another of Will
cox's lieutenants, has for years been a sa-
loonkeeper in Honolulu. He was a men,
Der of the queens staff and commanded
her household guards. This brings out
the further fact that during the existence
of the present trouble Queen Lii was at
her own house, although under police sur
veillance. She has neither been arrested
nor imprisoned, because it didn't seem
wise or judicious to take such a step, and
but for the fact that arms we're concealed
in her house the premises would never
have been molested by the government.
A search was made, however, of her resi-
dence, and a number of stands of arms
were discovered and promptly confis-
Gated. Queen Lii, however, win not be
permitted to do anything to jeopardize
the interests of law and order in Hawaii,
and is practically a prisoner of the re-
plblic.

ANOTHER HOLD UP.

Unseen Friend.


Unseen Friend.
Pat Hoskins, hard working man, had
just finished his days work and was
homeward bound about o'clock last
evening and had reached the corner of
Park and Washington streets, when n
man wearing a mask approached him
from behind and gave the orders Hands
up" Mr.. Hoskins, who is not very tall
man and by no means as powerful as his
commander, thought he had better obey
orders and save trouble, as he only had
about 500 in his pocket. The footpad
had gone through one or two pockets I'M
successfully and was just reaching for the
cash reserve when suddenly an alarm
went off making such n tremendous noise
that the highwayman got thoroughly star
tlel, and, thinking il was some new bu. e.
lar alarm. started at 2:l0 gait down tue
street. Hoskins stood as If rooted to the

Immediately returned down town to set

alarmed the burglar and saved his hard
earned savings.

When the Women Vote.

Should women secure from the pres
ent Montana legislature the same
right as men to vote in all political
elections future contests at the polls
will, at least, have an added interest.
In this state it would not, however
increase the voting population as
much as many might, at first thought,
suppose. The law which requires
proof of citizenship from the male
voter before he is permitted to regis
ter would apply with equal force to
the ladies' Thus, for some time to
come, at least, practically none but
native-born American women could
vote; since only those who have been
born in the United States or have
been naturalized by due process of
law, would be entitled TO exercise the
franchise at the polls.
1t is pointed out as a principle Of
law that women of foreign birth who
are married TO American citizens &C
quire the rights of citizens except in
the matter of suffrage. No foreign
born woman who has not lived i'll the
United States five years and who has
not declared her intentions TO become
a citizen at least two years before APP
plying for her final papers can be nat
uraliZed and without naturalization
papers she could not vote. Few women
have ever sought naturalization in
Montana courts; there was no partic-
ular reason why they should do so.

ALL SILVER COINAGE,
Except Subsidiary Coin, to Be Suspended
After November 1.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-All sill
yer coinage, except that Of subsi-
diary coinage, has been ordered
suspended after November next
by Secretary Carlisle. In carrying
out this policy the New Orleans
mint will be practically closed and
dismantled after that date, and its
seventy employees furloughed with
out pay. a letter containing these
instructions as to disseminating
coinage operations at New Orleans,
was mailed to Supt. Overton Cabe
on Monday night. OF the employ
es in the New Orleans mint thirty
are women and forty men. Secre-
tary Carlisle has for some time past
been considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of
stopping all silver coinage except
that of subsidiary coins, and since
he has been the head Of the treas
ury department only 4,3S2,32
standard silver dollars have beer
minted. Since July ! last onl,
ninety standard silver dollaIs have
been coined. The coinage of stand
ard silver dollars during the pas
few years have been as follows:
In 1885, SO, 56,011; in 1894
$75S; in 1898, $5, $4,000; in 1892
So, 1923, 600; in 1891, $27 100000
