Lecture on Morality.

IL tuo DdiiJ lLluht'
While have no word to say
against the proposed reclamation
OF fallen women from the abyss of
personal, mental and moral de.
basement into which they have
been plunged, and while l would
rejoice to see them reclaimed,
/ feel constrained to suggest to
the preachers and their female co.
laborers, that an "ounce of proven
tive is worth pound Of cure"
Many of these fallen women were
forced from the path of virtue by
memorable necessity. They were
forced to choose between starva-
tion and a life Of prostitution, and
those who have never been In that
awful predicament, have no right
to- condemn them. Now, Chris
tain charity, had it but been inter-
posed at the critical moment,
would have relieved the necessi-
ties, which drove them from the
path of virtue. But, as Tom
Hood said swami Of charity comes
from want OF thought the peo-
pile who enjoy comfort and plenty
seldom think, that others can be
in any need, so they CURLY dismiss
the poor women who apply to
them for work and think they are
very charitable, when they have
given a beggar the scraps and
remnants intended for the trash
box and the scavenger's cart. True
charity would prevent many a
poor, friendless, moneyless, and
starving woman from a life OF
shame and degradation. True
charity would relieve tho necessi.
ties and dispense the despair,
which drives so many men and
women to commit suicide. Pre-
vention Is more Christian like
than cure and reform. The rich will
be called to a severe reckoning al
the final judgment, for their want
of charity in this world. Chris
tians are themselves not free from
blame in the matter. Avowed
beggars are not the only ones, that
need help and charity, and Chris
J tians should inquire into these
things and extend help when II
will save despairing and desper
ate creatures from suicide, prosti
tuition and crime. Christians are
deficient in charity, notwithstand

their conversation.

HIS BODY MANGLED
David Mayors Frightful Death by
"a Powder Explosion.
1T IS ANOTHER MYSTERY
The Accident Occurred In the
Mountain Chief Mine Near
MeadervIlle-He Was a
Single Man.
1T IS ANOTHER MYSTERY

David Mayor was Instantly killed and
blown almost to pieces by an accident
al explosion of giant powder. the cause
of which he alone knew, in the Noun
tain Chief mine in Meaderville, be-
tween 2 and o'clock yesterday morn
ing. Between 20 and rs pounds Of the
sticks of dynamite exploded and Ma
gor was frightfully mangled by the
terrific conclusion. He was disembow-
eled, his right arm and lower jaw
were blown off, his eyes were shot out
and an athletic frame was in an In
slant transformed into an unrecogniz-
able mass of torn and mangled flesh
and bones.
The exact cause of the accident will
always remain a mystery. Mayor and
his partner were working in the west
drift of the $50 foot level about $50 feet
from the shaft and were preparing TO
put in blast before going off shift.
Mayor went back after the powder.
which is kept in a cross-cut about 200
feet back from the face of the drift.
There was about half box or 20
pounds stored there at the time. A
moment after he entered the cross-cut
the explosion occurred and the other
miners hurried to the scene and found
Mayors lifeless remains lying few
feet back from where the powder had
been kept. He seemed to have received
almost the full force of the explosion,
for a post against which the powder
box was placed was only slightly dam
aged. The remains were removed 70
the surface and Coroner Richards was
summoned and Deputy State Mine In
spector Miles was also notified of the
accident. The coroner's wagon broke
down as he was coming in with the
body, and Ii was nearly 6 o'clock be-
fore he finally reached the city. The
| body was taken to the Butte undertake
ing rooms where an inquest was held
at z o'clock last evening. The Noun
| tain Chief Is being worked by the
| Montana Ore Purchasing company, for
which the dead man had worked of
| and on for the last two years.
Mayor was % years old and unmar-
| ried. He came to Butte about six years
| ago from Cornwall, where his father
| and mother still reside. He also has q
| brother in the diamond fields of South
Africa. He boarded with Mrs. William
Tonkin at No. Mullin street, Center
Vile. The funeral will take place from
| st. Georges hall in Centerville, at
o'clock Sunday afternoon. Services
will be conducted by Rev. Wilder Nut
| ting of the Centerville M. f. church.
The inquest was commenced last eve
ming, and after the introduction Of
! some unimportant testimony II wa!
continued until this evening at the re
quest of the management of the min,
to allow a more thorough investigation
as to the amount of powder which wa
| stored in the cross-cut. Some of thu
miners believe that the explosion wa.
caused by a cap going off while Magol
| was twisting ii on the fuse. 1t may
also have been caused by a spark from
| his pipe or a match.

A DISCUSSED CITIZEN.
Though Elk ii m>elf He Found Out
That He Wasn't Wanted just Then.

From the Chicago Tribune.
A man with his hat we'll back on his
head and wearing a confident, taunty
air sauntered up to the elks' enclosure
in Lincoln park yesterday morning
and inspected the animals inside.
They don't look like such terrible
creatures" he said. addressing a by
stander 81 don't believe they're half
as savage and treacherous as the pa
pers say they are"
I'm satisfied to stay on this side or
the fence and look at Them, respond
ed the other.
81 wouldn't be bit afraid to get in
there" rejoined the first speaker. ''rhe
trouble Is that when a man Is afraid
of the animals they know II as wen
as he does, and they go for him. AMI
mails ain't fools. II had any business
with these elks / wouldn't hesitate
minute I'd get right over there and
make them understand their place.
wouldn't be cross. but I'd show 'em
who was master"
He climbed to the top Of the fence
and leaned over
Two big elks were lying down on the
ground about 20 feet away.
Get up" he called out. fixing his
eye on one of them Get up ana
come here, you lazy brute"
He shook the fence as he spoke, ana
the two animals jumped to their feet
and came at him like a shot.
They struck the fence with terrihc
bang, and the man on top, taken by
surprise, lost his hold. fell back on the
outside and rolled over and over In
the dirt.
He gathered himself up, brushed the
dirt from his clothes, picked up his
hat, placed ii carefully on his head,
pulled the brim down over his fore
head and started away.
That settles It," he said. I'm a
member of the order Of Elks, in good
standing, but I'm going TO have the
name changed, by jimminy, or I'm go
