SMUGGLING WAR
MATERIAL.
Two Americans Arrested in
Guatemala on a Serious
Charge.

New Orleans, La, August 90
"A short time ago IA man in
Cincinnati delivered to the
Louisville and Nashville rail
road twelve bales of hay con-
signed to r. E. Caldwell, Port
Barrios, Guatemala. Today
Macheca Bros, whose ship. the
Wanderer, carried the bales to
the Central American port, re-
ceived word that Caldwell, to-
gether with another American
citizen, have been arrested by
the Guatemalan government on
charge Of bringing contraband
goods into the. country, and
that the government inspectors
have found that the twelve
bales contained $4,000 cartria
gees, besides a great quantity
Of munitions of war. This dis
covery has unearthed one Of
the greatest plots for smuggling
war materials into Guatemala.
and the government has already
found that like shipment was
made to Livingston in June, and
that few weeks ago 5000 cart
ridges were discovered in nine
bales of hay consigned OF
II. C. Park at Port BarrioS.
BoIh Caldwell and Park
are contractors in the employ
Of Silranus Miller, of the Guate
mala railroad. The case will
involve the United States on
the ground OF violation Of the
neutrality laws. The war mat
erials may have been for use in
the pending Guatemala revol
ution, or they may have been
for reshipment across to Cuba.
Macheca Bros. and he railroad
officials say they handled the
freight in good faith, not know
ing it's nature. Caldwell says
he did not know the hay con
tanned ammunition. The rail
road has wifed general Offices
in Cincinna to get the name
Of the shipper.

It's hard to see why as much

might have q wholesome effect.

productive labor was 3S,415, or
20 s per cent of the total num-
Der Of con7icts. While there
was thus a decrease in tue
proportion of convicts employ
ed in productive labor, it will
be seen that there was also a
decrease in the proportion Of
those engaged in prison duties,
for in 1885 the total so engaged
was 1891, or 90 per cent Of the
whole number Of convicts,
while In 1895 there were 1904
so engaged, being 16 2 per cent
eff the whole numbsr. An in

they would like an appropriate site,
water right, and a bonus of about
So, 900 in money, labor material, etc.
When asked as to the quantity of water
required in the operation OF plant OF
the kind, he said that fifteen gallons
per minute would be amply sufficient
to operate a forty-tOn smelter, which
would include that required in the
boilers and water jackets. He also said
that he would like TO have more than
that, as he expected 10 double the ca
pacity in short time if the smeltor
was built, and he would not like to be
limited in quantity to merely enough
to operate the contemplated plant.
The committee then asked for some
kind of IA guarantee AS to the charges
to be made on the reduction OF differ
ent characters of ore, in order that
mining men might know just about
what charges would be made. He said
that he would return to Butte Thurs
day morning and that he would pre-
pare the necessary schedule as near as
it was possible to make it, and would
mail it to the committee He also
said that he would send document of
Just what he would do in the form of
an agreement that might be held, and
as guarantee that his company would
perform its part Of the contract. Ee
said thay had ample funds and meant
business, and that all that was ncces-
sary was for the people of the city to
get together and do their part. He
also made the statement that he would
furnish written guarantee to the
effect that the smelter would be built
and completed and in operation within
ninety days after signing the contract
with the people. He thought that they
might possibly have it done in sixty
days.
Regarding the quantity Of lead ores
in the district, Mr.. Nagle said he had
visited a number Of the silver lead
mines in the vicinity and that there
was absolutely no question in the mind
Of himself that ample ore would be at
hand for the continuous operation of
the plant. He really had reason to
think, from inquiries he had made
that there was sufficient ore in the dis
trict of the kind required to run a
smelter of half dozen times the Ca
pacity of the one under contemplation.
MI. Nagle left for Butte this morn
ing, and it is expected that something
of tangible form will be at hand to
present at the next Monday night S
meeting.

Noble Grand H. w. Rodgers followed
with an address on behalf of Gable
Lodge No. 8, which was to the point.
Mr. Rodgers spoke of the early settle
ment of the northwest and how the ne
cessity Of fraternal bonds began to be
felt as the people drifted from their
homes in the east and settled in the
west among strangers. Odd Fellowship
populating west, and Gable Lodge,
among numerous other lodges, was
formed. and has since that time done
it's part in the uplifting of humanity
and the relief of it's members. He re-
viewed III detail the history Of the
lodge from the time few Odd Fellows
met in the early history of the camp
and organized an Odd Fellows lodge
down to the present time, showing how
the lodge from small beginning had
grown to it's present strength and per-
manency.
A song by Miss S. B. Eshbaugh,
Miss Eleanor Ballard and G. III. Esh-
baugh was next Oh the programme,

the great part it was taking in the
cause of humanity.
After the conclusion of the entertain
ing remarks OF Prof Clifford the cere-
monies closed.
The party then adjourned to Twohy's S
hall, where Prof G.. H. Westphal and
daughter. Bessie, were in waiting
with music, and dancing was partici-
pated in until midnight, whom all par
took of bounteo1ls feast prepared by
the ladies. One Of the most palatable
spreads imaginable was laid out and all
did ample justice to it.
At the conclusion of the banquet,
Noble Grand H. W. Rodgers extended
the thanks Of Gable Lodge No. 9, I. o.
O. T., to the ladies who had prepared
the sumptuous feast, and who had
! worked so faithfully to MAKE the an
niversary celebration a success also to
the visiting brothers, and other guests
of the evening
Dancing was then taken up and the
neat programme which had been
printed danced through.
Taken altogether, the event is one to
long to remembered i'll the history of
social affairs in Philipsburg and the
seventy seventh anniversary Of Odd
Fellowship will not be forgotten for

affairs deserve great praise for the

Of the new things. There are short but
exceedingly full capes made of black
silk or satin, covered with soft ruffles of
black silk, null or chiffon, and over
this delicate stuff is sewed white lace
either in small detached flowers or in
sertions. Some of the black thin stuffs
have inwoven stripes of white silk in
graduated widths. This is accordion
plated and sewed on in layers. There
is always very fluffy ruche of the same
around the neck These are often made
detachable, as they are pretty with ev-
cry costume. Many of the daintiest and
nattiest jackets and basques are of
black with white trimmings, or vice
versa.
The most ravishing of the new para
soils are of white crepe lisse edged with
black embroidery, or have the hens
feather stitched with black floss. Black
gowns made with wide lapels of white
silk embroidered with jet are very re-
fined and pleasing Black with white
lace sewed ON fiat makes stylish and
elegant garniture for any gown. Elton
jackets made Of black, covered with
white lace or white covered with black
lace are very dressy and can be worn
with anything. They would tone down
some of the too brilliant colors of this
season and be perfect over the thin
gowns the coming summer. Just now
the basque is in high favor, but Etons
are always i'll style.

the front. There was an indescribably
quaint air about this gown. The same
clouded pattern was worked out in diff
ferent shades of brown or tan. The skirt
was laid in irregular plaits all around,
and around the bottom there was a
Spanish founce eight inches wide, ex-
cept across the front breadth. Six hand
some gold buttons were put near the bot
tom. The basque was entirely plain and
opened over lilac faille vest, which was
embroidered in gold. Seven of the same
large gold buttons put on each side of the
basque trimmed it richly. The sleeves
were tight all the way up, with a little
loose drapery falling under and at the
back. There were very full lace frills at
the wrists, and little gold embroidery
finished off the sleeve. Very many
sleeves are tight all the way up, with a
little apology of frill or puff at the
top. The wrinkled sleeves are among
the prettiest of the tight ones

and white are among the more artistic
