Soldiers. you are about to fight the
rulers of Egypt; reflect that from yon-
der monuments forty centuries look
down upon you!" Thus II was that
Bonaparte addressed his army before
giving battle to Mourad Bey at the foot
of the pyramids. as he pointed out to
the soldiers these ancient and gigantic
monuments. Napoleon's eloquence fill
ed his army with enthusiasm. and they
pressed on towards the base of the py-
ramids, eager for the battle with the
enemy who had established themselves
at this point. thirty-hve thousand
strong. The Mamelukes advanced upon
them with headlong speed and fanati-
cal fury, filling the air meantime with
horrible yells. The combat for a while
resembled that which nearly twenty
years afterwards took place at Water
loo; the hostile cavalry furiously charg-
ing the squares of infantry, and trying
by the most undaunted efforts to break
in upon them at every practicable
point. Nothing in war was ever seen
more desperate than the eXertions of
the Mamelukes. who threw away their
lives with the utmost recklessness. Ma
poleon, seated upon his horse in the
center of one of the squares of the
French infantry. detected weakness
in the handling of the enemies mount
ed guns, and at once ordered quick
movement which, while IL caused a sud-
den advance of 10000 MamelulIe horse
den advance of the 10000 Mameluke
horsemen. resulted finally in a victory
for the French. who withstood their re-
peated assaults. The contest lasted
nineteen hours, and when the Name
lukes finally broke and fed. thousands
plunged into the Nile and were drown
ed. In his report of the Battle of the
Pyramids" the conqueror recorded the
fact that the camp with all it's oriental
wealth, consisting of four hundred
camels laden with baggage. and fifty
pieces OF artillery had fallen into his
hands.

MANY NICE HOUSES
New Buildings to Be Erected During
the Summer.
AT THE SCHOOL OF MINES
Indications Are That This VIII Be
-usy Season The Telephone
COmpany's Block and
some residences.
AT THE SCHOOL OF MINES

The board of trustees of the School of
Mines will meet to-day to approve
working plans for the building and to
arrange the advertisement for propos-
ais for the erection of the building.
While the architects estimate of the
cost of the proposed building is $50, 900.
the bids may run a few thousand dol
lars under or over that figure. The
proposals will probably be accepted up
to about June l. 1t is hoped that ground
will be broken before July /, and that
the corner stone may be laid by Au-
gust /. The building will be completed
before winter.
1t is evident from the present activi-
ty that the present season will be the
greatest building year Butte has ever
known. Not everything is definitely de-
cided on as yet, but several fine blocks
are contemplated and a number of res
licences will be erected. The unsettled
condition of the weather is delaying
everything, but by June / all the car
penters. bricklayers and stone masons
will be busy and will be kept busy until
the snow flies in the fall.
The telephone company will erect a
fine block in Butte this summer. prob
ably of three stories. 1t will be put up
on the south side of East Broadway
corner, on the southeast corner
Main ana GIdnlle SlTeeIS,
on the site of the old blacksmith shop.
That block, with the big addition to the
Mcnamara block and the School of
Mines, will alone make things lively in
the building line, but there is talk of
several more important buildings.
There is talk that the old Centennial
corner, on Main and Granite streets,
will have a handsome block in the fall.
Definite arrangements have not yet
been made, but the owners of the lot,
James A. Murray and W. p. Givin, are
contemplating erecting the block. Two
old shacks now occupy this corner, one
of the best in Butte. Recently one of
the shacks was burned, and the build
ing inspector has refused permission to
repair the shack, claiming that the
damage is more than 40 per cent. of the
first cost of the building. The owners
are therefore losing rent and it is UNI
derstood that they have about decided
to tear out the present buildings and
erect a handsome block. There is also
talk of a fine block at the northeast
corner of Main and Broadway.
Many residences will be built in Butte
this summer, and plans have already
been drawn for two of them. City En-
gineer F. w. Blackford will erect a
handsome $1,000 residence in West
Granite street, and James A. Murray
will build a $4,000 residence adjoining
his bank at the northwest corner of
Main and Copper streets.

AT. LAST

The people of Butte have at last found
a place where they can buy mems wear
as low, IL not lower. than the same goods
are usually sold for in the great BUSH
ness centers of the East.
The stranger in the city naturally won
ders why so many people go in and out
of the little store on the corner of Main
and West Park streets. But after he has
examined the line of mems goods shown
by this house and compared the prices
with what is asked for the same goods
elsewhere. he at once comes to the con-
clusion that THE Cash Clothing Com
pany" is selling the best goods at lower
prices than any other house in Butte,
and he no longer wonders when he sees
the crowds that daily throng, not only
the Main street entrance to this house,
but the Park street entrance as WELL
All day long the staff of employees in
this house is kept busy waiting on the
eager customers who know good values
when they see them.
When passing the corner of Main and
West Park streets don't fail to glance
into the windows or showcases of The
Cash Clothing Company" where you will
see at all times the best values in mems
wear to be had on earth.

The Rocky Mountain Rife team will
meet tomorrow evening TO consider a
proposition to raise their membership
fee to $40. which is the same as is
charged by the Rod & Gun club. IT
is expected that this will be done and
the two clubs will then exchange mem
bership cards, which will be good for
six months. BY this means. while each
club will retain its individuality, one

are equally skillful with the shotgun.

WILLIAM j. BRYAN's Interpretation
OF the democratic platform is as fol-
lows: ut breaths the spirit of the
declaration of independence. 1t pre-
sents those fundamental truths upon
which all true government must rest.
You will find in it as its keynote that
all men are created equal, and that
the object OF government is to Sc
cure to the individual his inalienable
rights and protect each man. from
the humblest to the great. in the en-.
Joyment Of life and liberty and hap
plness. 1t proclaims the doctrine OF
civil liberty, and with no less en-
phasis it declares the right of every
man to worship his Creator according
to the dictates of his own conscience
1t pledges the party to the protection
OF all without regard to station on
condition in society, and it pledge:
the party to be no respector of per.
sons, and leaving to the persons the
judgment of the manner, the form.
and the time in which they shall wor
ship. or. il they please. refuse to wor
ship the God who gave them being,
1t is democratic from the first sen.
tence to the last in that broader sense
in which democracy appeals to all
who believe in a government of the
people. by the people. and for the
people,"
