will use its friendly Offices with the gov
eminent of Spain to bring to a close the
warbetween.Spain and the republic Of
Cuba.
The report is very voluminous. It be-
gins with a review of the action of cong
ress at its last session, pledging itself to
friendly intervention with Spain for the
recogn! ton of the independence of
Cuba.
Spain, having declined these over
lures, the only question which remains
to be decided is the nature Of the next
step to be taken, with proper regard to
the customs and usages of nations.
Then follows all exhaustive, review of
this century's instructions of peoples
claiming independence by right of revolt.
The French rev, lutionary wars, which
disturbed the entire world for five and
twenty years, are sighted as having fixed
the beginning of our modern internation-
al systems i'll the year 1915, i'll the treat
les of Vienna and of Paris, and Of the
Holy Alliance.
Cases of intervention by European
powers in Eu ope aud Asia are set forth
in great detail, and the recognition of
South American republics, and President
Monroe's action therein, as we'll as the
recognition of Texas by President Jack
son, followed by the action of President
Taylor in the case of Hungary, are used
in illustration of the Cuban case.

How to Have Pretty Lips.

Though very red lips do not follow Us
into old age, we can at least keep them
fresh and attractive looking all our
lives To do this great care must be
taken to remain in perfect health and
also to attend to any little ailment Of
tho lips as soon as it is noticed Too
much sitting over the fire and too little
outdoor exercise are fatal to the beauty
Of the lips
Very pale colored lips, of course,
show that the posscssor is much out Of
health, usually suffering from bloodlcss-
ness. Strong iron !unics should be taken,
plenty Of milk drunk and outdoor exer-
ciso freely indulgcd In. Tho diet should
be generous, and the rooms we 1.-Two in
and sleep in should be most carefully
ventilated by night ms well as by day.
As the health improves the color will
return to the lips
The lips should also never be rubbed
with strong scent, such as can do cologne
or vinegar or lemon. Friction is also
very pad for their well being. Lips may
only be pale pink (red lips are consti-
tutionaD, but if they are smooth and
soft they will look attractive.

How tho Worlds Goldnelds Have Devel-
oped.

OpeOs
Victoria and California were both
phenomenally rapid, the former having,
however, an undoubted claim to the
first position in this respect Gold was
first discovered in California in Colonel
Suffers mill race, 1848. The produo-
ton for 1s49 was IS, 900, 900; it jumped
up the following year to $50, 600, 900,
and reached its maximum in 1853 at
$60, 900, 600. BY July, ls49. there were
$4,000 Mexcans and Chileans ON tho
spot, and before tho end Of the year 49,
900 Americans and 5000 foreigners
were working at the digginga Gold
was discovered at Ba1larat, Victoria. In
August, 185l-that Is. two years later
than in California-and the rush to
Australia resulted in q yiald Of gold
which quite eclipsed that furnished by
the western state. The second years
mining, 1854, yielded no Less than
$18a, 900, ,000-that is, a larger sum than
had been made during any one Of the
four years In which the California mines
had climbed to their greatest annual
production. II Is estimated that the lat

SAPPH|RES, GOLD AND RUB|ES
Matt Dunn Returns From Yogo Gulch
With a Small, but Valuable,
Burden.
One Of MIR. and Mrs. Harold Payne
Whitney's Wedding Presents
From Yogo.

Matt Dunn, who came in from the
sapphire mines at Yogo gulch few days
ago, brought with him precious
burden in the shape Of a sack Of splendid
gem stones and about $500 worth of fine
gold, which had been obtained from the
properties now being operated by him
self and George Wells, in partnership
with Messrs. Hoover and Hobson.
1t is not generally known that the
sapphlres obtained from these properties
have been pronounced by gem experts
the finest that have yet been found in
the state. They are of uniform color,
being all blue, and of wonderful depth
and brilliancy. It's perhaps q sufficient
indication OF the quality and value OF
the gems to state fact hitherto not
known in these parts, namely that the
sapphire neclace purchased at Tiffanys
by Mrs. Whitney for wedding present
to Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt was com
posed of stones from the sapphire mines
operated by Mr.. Dunn at Yogo gulch.
The gems are found in porphyry rock
and clay in regular lead. They are
hauled considerable distance in their
native matrix and then washed out by
water. They are all sizes and shapes,
the largest weighing about five carats
Their value, after cutting, is about 1926 a
carat. Mr.. Dunn brought in with him
about 200 carate of very choice stones
besides large quantity of smaller ones
The gold obtained on the property OF the
company is of very pure quality, being
worth nearly $40 an ounce, Thirteen
men are now at work for the company
and number of improvements are con
templated in the near future, which viii
make the process OF mining more
economical. Mr.. Dunn returns to the
mines next week. His friends here have
been congratulating him on his Interest
in what now promises to be bonanzt
proposition. Besides the gold and sap
phires found, good many small rubies
are being taken out, and most encour
aging feature is that the further the.
proceed, following the sapphire lead, tn
better the quality OF the gems proves.

CITY COUNCIL MEETS,

beer Halls Again the Topic of Discussion
Library Trustee Appointed.
Mayor Webster presided Monday at
a special meeting of the council, at which
all the aldermen except Aid. Dunn were
present.
A communication was received, calling
the attention OF the council to the con-
dition Of Second street, between Central
avenue and First avenue south. Re-
ferred.
An application was received from j. B.
Lippincott for appointment to the posi-
ton of driver Of the hose wagon.
A petition from Mrs. L. Pettingill and
others was read, asking for sidewalk
on the West side.
The city engineer was directed to look
after the repair OF number of street
crossings.
Chairman Mitchell reported an ordi-
nance in favor of repeating the ordinance
giving permission to beer halls to employ
female performers and musicians.
Aid. Fletcher spoke in support of the
ordinance, making the point that the
beer hall ordinance was against the
tate law and therefore illegal and
should never have been placed in the
ordinance book. He also said that the
county attorney made it an excuse for
declining to interfere with the illegal
gambling games now going on in certain
beer halls. lie favored its repeal at once.
Aid. Fitzgerald said this was no ex-
cuse for the county attorney neglecting
to do his duty. II Aid. Fletcher wanted
to get after the gamblers let him do it
directly by ordinance and not through
the women musicians, who we're trying
to earn an honest living.
Aid. Marion favored taking steps
which would result in collecting good
license fee from all gambling games or
else close them up.
Aid. Mcdonnell was opposed to wo-
men in beer halls on principle and an
nounced his intention to vote that way
every time it came up.
Fitzgerald moved to lay the ordinance
on the table and the motion was lost
Marion, Fletcher, Mcdonnell and
Mitchell voting nay, and Holmes
Thompson and Fitzgerald aye.
| Aid. Mcdonnell stated that one of the
two saloons allowed by special permit or
the North side was getting to be q noisy
place and it's license should he with
drawn. The matter was referred to the
committee on taxes and licenses.
AID Mitchell reported that the Tin
ners' union would do such work as was
needed at the city park pavilion gratis
if the city would furnish the material
and the offer was accepted.
CIV. Swearingen. city engineer, made
lengthy report, protesting vigorously
against the dismissal of bis assistant
claiming that it was not true economy
and the matter was referred to Aide
Thompson, Mitchell and Fletcher.
Mayor Webster announced the sp
pointment OF Mrs. II. o. Chowen az
trustee Of the Valeria public library, te
succeed Mrs. Frank Marion, whose term
has expired. The appointment wat
unanimously confirmed. A motion te
, adjourn was made by Aid. Fitzgerald
Aid. Fletcher demanded vote on 6
previous motion of his to pass the ordi
nance repeating tho ordinance allowing
women in beer halls, but Fitzgerald
i. sprung the question Of parliamentary
precedence on his motion and the chair
sustaining him, put the motion to ad
, journ, which was carried, thus shutting
out Aid. Fletcher's motion.

Theodore Plassmann, Formerly Business
Manager of the Leader, Passes Away
Unexpectedly.
Theodore Plassmann, until recent
date business manager of the Great Falls

ing shortly before 5 o'clock.
The immediate cause of death was
disclosed by post-mortem examination
held yesterday by DR.. j. W. Frizzell,
to be congestion Of the lungs. He had
been sick but short time, and those
who SAW him in the early part OF the
week attending to his business down
town. apparently in his usual health and
spirits, could hardly believe the report
of his DEATH which rapidly spread
throughout the city.
Last Thursday Mr.. Plassmann began
to feel distressing symptoms, which de-
veloped rapidly, and, in spite Of the doc
tors skill, he succumbed to them in 4S
hours.
Mr.. Plassmann belonged to one Of the
most ancient and noble families in the
little principaity OF Waldeck, now prac-
tically part of Prussia, and, had he ro
mained at home, would have succeeded
to the ancestral title and estates. lIo
decided, however, when a boy, to try his
fortunes in the new world, and all his
mature life had been spent in America.
lie had travelled and lived in all parts
of the county; and finally, about three
years ago, mado his home in Great Falls.

How tho Chtne~e Identity Criminals.

The method taken by the Chinese to
identify their important criminals Is to
take an impression Of the balls Of their
thumbA This is done by pressing the
thumb on slab covered with u film Of
printers ink, and then pressing 1t on q
piece Of white paper. Their idea is that
all arts Of the features may change, but
the thumb never can, and they say that
their method affords much moro easy
and certain means Of Identification than
