$ AS THICK AS FLIES.
Claim Jumpers Were jumping Everything
In sight Yesterday.

In sight Yesterday.
1t Is estimated that there was more
claim jumping yesterday and Tuesday
night In the districts around Butte
than in many years before. The
jumpers were particularly numerous
and active in the localities where there
have been some recent rich gold dis
coveries. In the country east and
southeast of Butte, and especially in
the vicinity of the Maud s. mine. where
a number Of good gold prospects have
been found during the past summer.
the jumpers were thick as flies around
a molasses barrel. In many cases the
jumpers were irresponsible individuals
who went out weighted down with
rifles and revolvers expecting to run
bluffs on the owners of the grounds
they had in view, but there have been
no reports of serious encounters. In
several cases claims were jumped on
which the assessment work has regu-
larly been done for years. In one case
a piece of ground was jumped south
east of Butte upon which the owner
has a residence and other improve
ments besides fairly well developed
mine on which he had done several
hundred dollars worth Of work during
the past year; but all this cut no fig
uTe With the jumpers anu lucy IN
Guided the whole works In their new
location. Reports are made of other
claims jumped that were no more open
to relocation than the Anaconda mine
and a number of lawsuits will doubt
less be necessary to GUST the jumpers.
Another field where the claim jump
ers got in their work Is the Little Pine
district near Melrose, where some rich
gold discoveries have been made dur
ing the past six months and Camp
creek was not overlooked. A number
OF Butte men went to the latter dis
trict some days ago and picked out
their claims and put up their location
notices the moment time indicated the
arrival of the new year. A number OF
good claims were secured in many in
stances and in which they were legiti-
mately open to relocation having been
abandoned by former locaters. The
amount of claim jumping In the county
will be indicated by the number of To-
cation notices that will be filed for
record during the next few days.

Pretty Poor Picking.

An expert picxpocSet operated In the
Atlantic garden about 8 O'clock yester-
day morning. At that hour the place
Is usually well filed with sleepers. and
the bartender noticed John Thomas GO
ing through the pockets of three Of
them. He told officer Baldisero. AS
the officer entered the place. the pick
pocket left IL. The officer did not lose
much time. and chased John through
Jerry Mullins place and up the alley to
Paul Davis where he was captured.
Not much was found on Thomas, as
the proceeds of picking three pockets
in the Atlantic garden was only N.o5.

FIRE IN MORRIS TERRACE.
Energetic Efforts of the Department
saved the Block.


Fire broke out an $40 o'clock yester-
day morning In the Morris Terrace. in
Montana street between Granite and
Broadway. The fire was very hard
one for the department to get at. The
alarm box was not rung in and the de-
partment was notified of the fire by
messenger. The fire was In the wall
and started evidently from a defective
heating apparatus, the fat being heat
ed by hot air. The flats consist OF
three apartments, the one to the north
being occupied by Mr.. Gilbert. OF the
Silver Bow bank. the middle fiat by
DIR. Campbell. and the one to the south
by j. l.. Morris. owner of the block.
The fire seemed between the Gilbert
and Campbell apartments, and both
places were deluged with water.
The firemen found IL necessary to cut
several holes in vain endeavor to
reach the fire. and did not succeed In
making much Roadway toward
quenching 1t until they reached the
attic. Most of the damage was done by
water. Mr.. Morris was unable yester-
day to state how much the damage to
his building Is. That cannot be told
until a mechanic examined and ascer-
tanned how much IL will cost to repair
It. The building is insured for $1,000,
and the firemen do not think the In
jury will exceed $1,000. 49,
DIR. Campbell succeeded In moving
out much of his furniture, but a good
deal of damage was done. but his dam
age will be about 5000, which is cover
ed by insurance of $4,000. Mr.. Gill
berts loss is about $3.50, also covered
by insurance. DR.. Campbell will have
his office temporarily at No. 122 West
Granite street There was no damage
in the apartment occupied by Mr.. Nor
ris himself. Mr.. Morris spoke in high
terms of the excellent work done by
the firemen in saving the block.

That the volcanic wave must have
come from the Northwest was predict
ed in these columns as soon as the
news from various parts OF the Islands
was available. And this was done in
the face of some cold looks from one
or two Of the scientists here who could
not see that each island was protec-
ton to the other and that the theory Of
a northwest wave would alone ac-
count for the higher wave on the west
coast of Hawaii, where the greatest
amount Of resistance was met at the
proper angle. BY the way the wind"
theory of one of the evening papers
does not seem to have been founded
on very solid premises, as it proves it
was a message saying 10000 lives had

Hawaiis heart is true to Uncle Sam
There is no cOquetry in her statecraft
on this subject, nor any attempt to ex-
cite Uncle Sans apprehension by the
pretence that she had concluded to
lead an isolated life, and that a state of
single blessedness is better for her.

vote of her Legislature, on the eve of

body continues TO desire union TO the

/ Mr.. Howeils has, in Harper's Week
/ ley, been very much exercised over the
Tip" question. Indeed, he grows quite
eloquent over it. He says: 1T is the
practice of beggary without the beg
CARS excuse OF restitution, and in the
giyer it is the encouragement of the
very worst form of beggary'' Mr..
HOWells thinks the West not so sophis-
ticated as the East in such matters.
With regard to the West Mr.. Howells
is distinctly wrong; it is just as So
phisticated as the East and the Zip
in the West is more liberal than in the
East, as a rule.
To get rid of the tip seems impos-
sible. theoretically every one should
be treated alike, but practically when
all the work is done there is always
time over for the steward or the rail-
way guard or what not to do extra
jobs, and why should he not be paid
for them? Mr.. Howells contracts
with Harper Bros. to supply them with
a novel, but that doesn't prevent him
doing a bit of criticism for the
World, or short story for some other
magazine, for which he gets his tip.
Surprising his novel is wonderfully
successful, and Mr.. Howells publish
ers, opening their hearts and their
purse strings, present that author with
a cheque over and above what had
been agreed upon. Such things have
happened. What is that but tip
for Mr.. Howell's good work? 1t seems
quite as just that good steward or
porter should get a tip" for his good
work.

QUERIES OF :" SPECIAL RIGHTS .
CITIZEN.

An Hawaiian special rights" citizen
who has read the foreign policy plank
of the Mckinley platform wants to
know why he isn't still an American
citizen, Cleveland ruling or no Cleve-
land ruling, and further asks why he
should take out naturalization papers
here. We know of no reason VIII" he
should become naturalized. Section z
of Article II of the Constitution of the
Hawaiian Republic reads:
ANY person not a Hawaiian citizen
who took an active part, or otherwise
rendered substantial service in the for
nation of, and has since supported the
Provisional Government of Hawaii, who
shall, within six months from the pro-
mulgation of this constitution, procure
from the Minister of the Interior GER
tificate OF such service, as herein set
forth. and who shall take the oath of
allegiance to support the constitution
and the laws of the Republic so long as
he shall remain domiciled in the Re-
public, shall be entitled to all the pr1vi-
leges of citizenship, without thereby
p1ejudicing his native allegiance or cit
izenship."
1t will be seen by the above that the
special rights citizen now enjoys all
the rights of citizenship and that the
law of the land does not call for any
further action on his part. If his per-
sonal desires and aspirations lead him
to thoughts of naturalization, we know
OF nothing that will stand in the way
of his foreswearing allegiance to his ma
tive country. In view, however, of the
clause in the constitution which gives |
try, if his aspirations alone lead him to |
throw off his allegiance to the United
States, we must confess that the ties |
that bind him to his native land are
made up of mighty weak threads.
With regard to his American citizen

THE DOCTOR AND THE SPOONS

At a recent meeting of medicos a
members of the profession produced
dozen or so of tea spoons, which he in
formed the assembled wisdom around
him that he had obtained from his pa
tients. Having read the statement SO
far, visions of precautions that had
never flashed across the mind made
themselves felt. If medical men, as a
profession, take to lifting spoons, why
not other things? In future it might be
necessary for paterfamalias to say,
MY dearl DIR. Bolus is coming up to
look after Fredericks throat; you had
better hide the silver tea and coffee set
and lock the drawer in which you
keep the spoons. Keep an eye on the
knick-knackS in the drawing room.
Or again, Poor Araminita is desper-
ately sick, John, won't you call DR..
Bob Sawyer?" Certainly, Maria Jane,
would be the reply Of paterfamalias,
.'but be careful to take those jeweled
pins out of the pin cushion, and be sure
that you lock the jewel casket. Under
such circumstances one cannot be too
careful
These were the visions called up by
the paragraph in an exchange, but
when read further the good medico of
the spoons proved not to have been pur-
Joining them. He was not showing his
nefarious gains to his brother mis-
creants, but he had collected the tea
spoons to show that in the dozen he
displayed no two were alike in capacity

pacity of others, and yet all were genu-
inc tea spoons.
Whoever the physician was who did
this, he showed a true CLEAN of COM
mon sense. Doctors are very particular
as to the exact amounts of drugs TO be
compounded by the druggist, but they
leave the patient to take the medicine
in any quantity he pleases, according to
the size of the spoon. A gentleman
comes to the mind of the writer who
has in his house four varieties OF tea
spoons, and varies hrs spoon accord
ing to the unpleasantness of the medi-
cine. AS he has, up to the present, in
variably recovered from his ailments,
he has come to the conclusion that the
size of the dose does not very much af-
feet the case, and finally that he prob
ably could get along without any medi-
cine whatever. Anyhow, the slipshod
manner in which doses of medicine are
given does not increase ones faith in
them.

Preparations for the Fourth of July
celebration have taken a decided turn
for improvement. The extra demon
stration proposed by the Hawaiian
Committee will indeed make the occa-
sion a continual round of enthusiasm
from the time the Americans set the
ball in motion on Friday evening till
that last spark of Hawaiian red fire
burns low on the night of the Fourth.
The addition of the civic features to
the parade on The morning of the
Fourth is particularly happy thought
Although the time given the mer-
chants to prepare for the occasion is
short, it is to be hoped that this fact
will lead the business men to redouble
their efforts and prove that Honolulu
people can carry out big celebration
on short notice, notwithstanding the
climate. This is the first time the Citi-
zens' Guard have had an opportunity
to parade as a body, and they should
not only accept the invitation of the
but also turn out to man
in response to popular call.

We can only suggest that the special
rights" citizen hope on and wait on.
He can hope that every political party
in the United States will put an Ha-
waiian plank in it's platform as strong
as that found by the Republicans, and
he must wait for the American people
to answer the question of American
citizenship in Hawaii when they go to
the polls next fall.

Delay That Wasn't Dangerous.

Once in while the dry pages of gov ernment reports are enlivened by details of sensational incidents. Witness the following from a report of John w. Fleming, United States mine inspector for New Mexico: "I arrived at Cerillos on the evening of the 26th of February, at II p. m. On the morning of the 27th I went out to the White Ash Coal mine, about 2 L miles from the town. When arrived there, I asked the superintendent of the mine, James Duggan, about the condition of the mine, and he informed me that it was never better; that he had been in the mine every day for eight or ten days past, and had taken air measurements and found that the venti- lation was better than ever before. Upon my request that he proceed into the mine for it's inspection, he stated that he was required to go to the coke ovens of the company at Waldo, about 21s miles distant, and would return by noontime, and we would go into the mine" At II a. m. an explosion of fire damp occurred in the mine which killed 24 men, and showed the inspector that, sometimes, delays are the reverse of dangerous.

One of Eugene Fields Franks.

When Eugene Field was city editor of the Kansas City Times, be found great amusement in annoying one of the char acters employed on the paper. Ferguson was one of the 'make ups'' on the pa- per, and in Wyandotte, where he resid- ed, just over the line from Kansas City, he was the leader of local temperance society. For over a year Field, Gp con- ing down to the paper to go to work, would write personal concerning Fer guson. Generally it ran like this: "Mr. John Ferguson, the well known make up of The Times composing room, ap- peared for work yesterday evening in his usual beastly state of intoxication. 7" This entertaining bit Field would send down in bundle of copy, and the oth- CTS of the composing room would set 1t up and say nothing.
 Poor Ferguson knew that this awful personal was in their midst, and every night would go carefully over every gal ley for the purpose of locating and kill ing it. It gave him vast trouble. Every now and then Field would not write his personal about Ferguson, and then the bedeviled Ferguson was worse off than ever. As long as he could not find it it might still be there. It almost drove the poor man of the paper. Now and then it escaped his eagle eye and was print ed. On such occasions Ferguson's bur dens were beyond the power of even a Christian spirit to bear.
