MUCH PLEASURE.
Colonel Burt Royalty Entertsins visitors
at the Fort.

at the Fort.
Nissoula. Feb. 25.-Colonel Burt on
SATURDAY. gave the visitors who drove
out to Fort Missoula a most interest
ing exhibition Of the practical work or
his garrison. When the guests arrived
the soldiers were at their CUSTOMARY
work The men on fatigue duty were
scattered about the post. using SHOW
els. brooms and other implements of
peace. Colonel Burt said that he want
ed to show how quickly the troops
could be turned out in case of trouble.
The command was given to a bugler
and the call to arms sounded In an
instant the whole post was alive with
men.
From the barracks poured the men
who were not at work armed and belt
ed and from all parts of the post came
those on fatigue duty. Across the pa
rade ground they ran like deer, carry
ing their spades and rakes and brooms.
Into the barracks they rushed after a
fine exhibition of sprinting, only To
emerge i'm an instant with rifles and
belts to take their places in the line.
In 40 seconds after the bugle call
sounded the last company bugler had
given the call that told the colonel that
the troops were ready for action. II
was as pretty an exhibition as could
be seen anywhere.
In this connection, mention should
be made of the trumpet telegra ply
which Colonel Burt has devised and
which his buglers use. Long and short
blasts on the bugles represent the
dashes and dots. The Morse alphabet
is used and in this way the company
commanders can communicate readily
with each other. 1t is a novel device
and works satisfactorily.

The story has frequently been print
ed that noted theatrical manager was
at one time travelling in New England
with his comedy company. One even
ing. while the audience was laughing
wildly at some situation, one particular
'Ha, ha, rose mellow and ringing over
all others. This laugh had something
infectious in ii, and i'm a very few min
utes what had before been a rather
cold audience, was INDUCING in the
most uproarious cachination. The play
which was being presented had not
hitherto been particularly successful,
but on this occasion everybody present
voted II a decided hit The remainder
of the engagement kept up to the new
standard, and the manager hired
the man with the infectious laugh to
accompany him on his tour. According
to the story, the new member more
than earned his salary by nightly set
ting the audience in roar during the
first act. 1t probably never occurred to
this man-if he ever existed-to turn
this peculiar power of his to financial
account, as has been done by Alice
Anterior, young Englishwoman, who
at present is drawing a handsome sal
airy in the Empire music nall, London,
by telling funny stories and laughing
at them in such a way as to start the
audience into the widest fits of guf-
flaws. 1t is understood that one or two
American amusement managers have
her in mind, and should the proper in
ducements be held out no doubt she
will visit this country. Miss Atherton
says she is willing that Duse and Bern
hardt shall have a monopoly of weep
full entertainment For herself, she
much prefers to laugh. Judging from
her appearance she would have some
difficulty in composing her features to
a style suitable for a tragic role. Her
eyes are continually laughing, the
whole expression of her face, indeed,
being of the jolly, whole-souled kind
Not all of her stories are of the low
comedy order. She is also classical.
She tells a story of Philemon, a good
old Greek, who died of laughing at his
donkey, which came into his dining
room and ate plate of figs. This leads
her to believe that the horse laugh is
the result of evolution. 1t was in the
beginning a donkey laugh. Miss Ather-
tons turn" at the Empire has been
tremendously successful from the start.

The grand jury to-day made the trip

examination Of the county buildings in

Moral aud Religious War Needed.

Miss Florence HOLSTER Dangerfield
interested the Social Culture club of
New York the other evening with a
carefully prepared paper upon the sub
ject of Modern Divorce as 1t Affects
Civilization" Limiting the causes"
said she, does not lessen the number
of divorces. If we could look forward
100 years statistics would show more
marriages ended by divorce than with
death, If the rate continued the same
as for the last twenty years. 1t is a
problem which affects civilization, and
divorce is found four times as often
with those of the Protestant faith as
with Catholics. Three-quarters of the
cases granted last year were given on
account of the wife. Many cases of I'M
happiness are caused by the lack of
ability on the part of the wife to keep
the home or make ii more attractive
than any other place, and this is now
to be accomplished through the classes
in our schools, of cooking, sewing and
housekeeping. In this way the homes
of the working people find benefit. We
need a moral and religious war, such as
was begun when Christianity came, to
teach new duties, of a wife to remain
faithful to her husband, though not
compelled, as formerly, by law or
economic dependence"

Mssoula, Feb. 25.--In the district

tion of the cases of Junk Hue and Sing
Lee. the Thompson Falls Cinnamon
who were indicted by the grand jury
for burglary in the first degree. II

the case disposed of. as the Mongo-
lians either could not or would not

to defend the two heather. looked into
the case and came to the conclusion
that there was not much use in try
ing to acquit a man who was shot
through the arm while i'm the act of
entering a store. SO he tried TO induce
Junk Hue TO plead guilty. This was
not easy 70 do. Junk was onto his job
and wanted company on the road to
Deer Lodge. So he mumbled and SIAM
mered i'm a way that nobody could un-
derstand ana. after a struggle of an
hour or more. the court sent for an

TO A HIGHER LIFE.
DR.. Spalding Points to a Lesson in til
Life of st. John.

DR.. Spalding Points to Lesson in the
Life of st. John.
DR.. Spalding of st. Johns Episcopal
Church took for his sermon yesterday
morning the words, what went-ye out in
the wilderness to see ~
He told of John the Baptist's life, OF
how he preached of Jesus and baptized
him, never doubling that he was the Christ
for whom they looked, of how after he
was cast into prison he sent two of his dis
ciples to the Master to ask if he were the
Christ or if they should look for another,
not sending them for his own sake, but for
theirs. Jesus told them to go and tell
John all they had heard that the blind
received their sight, the lame walked, the
lepers were cieansed, the deaf heard, the
dead were raised and the poor had tie
g&pel preached to them.
From the last of these DR.. Spalding drew
lesson of missionary duty and said that
we should not think that our duty lay
only in our own homes and in our own
parishes, but that each should help in aid
ing the preaching of the gospel to the
poor, not only the poor in wealth, but the
poor spiritually. He said that ST. John
drew men to him because, though he lived
in this world, he also lived above it, and
that just so now, if one does that he will
influence men for good and draw them to
higher, nober life.

ANTI-SALOON MEETING.
Gathering of Enthusiasts at Simpson
Memorial Church to Organize OPP
position to Saloons.

Gathering of Enthusiasts At simpson
Memorial Church to Organize OPP
position to Saloons.
At the Simpson Memorial Church
yesterday evening there was well at
tended meeting held for the purpose of
arousing interest in the Anti-Saloon
League movement. The expectation is to
organize City Anti Saloon League here,
and 'anothe- meeting will be called at an
early date at which this will probably be
accomplished. Cards are being gotten Up
for the prospective members to sign which
will pledge them only to work against
saloons and declare an absolute neutrality
as to the different political parties as the
policy of he league. There are to be no
dues nor fees to pay.
The State league was organized about
week ago, and after the City league is
formed il is conte mplated TO get up smaller
organizations representing the various
churches. The method of work on which
they will place most hopes will b. to exer-
else united and persistent influence on
the successive State legislatures until
they pass such laws as will be effective in
prohibiting the evil.
The meeting was addressed by four
speakers Il. P. Shedd led with an argu-
ment for moral suasion, but did rot think
that could be made effective without the
aid of legal enactment. Mrs. L. P. Will
liams, ex-presidept of the W. G. L. u. fol-
lowed with an account of the wonderful
benefits the suppression of saloons had
| wrought in Maine. She is native of that
State and was II years old before she saw
a saloon.
III. I. Hammond gave some statistics OF
the liquor traffic, which showed the great
ness OF the evil, and the vast sums that
are annually misused in it's purchase. The
estimate is made that there is saloon for
every twenty men in San Francisco. He
drew comparison between the State OF
Maine, which prohibits saloons, and other
wealthy States which do not by stating the
per canita savings bank accounts. Maine
has $50 per capita in such banks, while
Illinois has but Sc II. and Ohio SO AZ. He
showed that the city of Boston spends
more for liquor than the combined cost OF
her pubic schools, parks and police and
fire departments, and estimates that San
Francisco spends larger proportional
sum on liquor than Boston.
The last speaker was the Rev. John
Stephens, pastor of the church. He gave
some further statistics and closed with an
| earnest call upon all those who are OPP
posed to saloons to unite for energetic
work. His idea OF the work to be is to
bring influence 10 bear upon the Legisla-
ture, for he does not think moral suasion
will ever be effective. This, he says,
should be done without any party affilia-
tons.

DEATH IN THE CLOISTER.
Mother Mary Thomas Passes Away at
st. GATHERINGS, Benicia.

Mother Mary Thomas Passes Away at
st. GATHERINGS, Benicia.
Mother Mary Thomas, Q. S. D.,
secularly known as Margaret Golden,
passed away at st. GATHERINGS Convent,
Benicia, on Saturday after an illness of
five months duration. The funeral will
be impressiyely soIemnized in the Domini-
can Church at Benicia to-day.
Mother Mary Thomas was. the oldest
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Golden,
both well-known as early and highly re-
spected residents of this State. When
merely a girl she responded to the re-
ligious promptings of a naturally refined
and cultivated nature and joined the late
Rev. Mother Gomare. o. S. D., at
Monterey, where that celebrated SUPERB
Dress had founded a community of the
Third Order of st. Dominic for women.
After entering the noyi late there she en-
tered ST. GATHERINGS Convent at Benicia.
It was not long before her many admir-
able qualities secured recognition, and
she was elected superior-general of the
order on the coast, position which she
held for ten years. She likewise received
the appointment of superior of st. Roses
Dominican Convent in this City and re-
sided here for some time.
: The deceased enjoyed during her life
time wide celebrity as an educator, and
did much to instill into the minds of her
many female pupils love for the best
English classical literature. The two sis
tiers of the deceased, Mrs. G. A. Macon Der
and Mrs. A. d. Jenny, as well as the Rev.
Mother Louis. O. S. D., superior of the
Dominican Convent at San Rafael, at
tended her last moments.

ARCTIC COLD BURNS SKIN.
1t Is Like a Blast From Furnace-Ex-
pIorers uffer From Thirst.

1t Is Like Blast From a Furnace-Ex-
pIorers uffer From Thirst.
Dr. hansen, who recently returned from
an arctic journey, says that the thirst in
duced by the irksome labor OF sIedge-
hauling is the severest discomfort to the
explorer. Though the polar world is COW
cred with frozen water, there is none TO
drink save that which is thawed, and on
the march it is almost impossible to thaw
it. Other explorers complain of the effects
of the wind and sun. 1t is we'll known
that low degree of cola can be borne
without discomfort so long as the air is
still, but the moment it gets into motion
it strikes the skin like the blast of fur
mace, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
LIS effects have often been described as
precisely similar to those of burn. The
sun, when it is visible, is hot and peels
and blisters the skin, making it infinitely
more sensitive to the attack of the wind.
Others, again, say that the warm relaxing
damp OF the polar summer, with all tie
diseases that it bring, is infinitely worse
than the intense cold OF winter, but, per-
haps, after all, the greatest evil and misery
which confront the polar explorer spring
from the depression, mental and physical,
OF the long night of 1000 and 5000 hours of
gloom and semi-darkness.
Under Its influence men seem to suffer
like plants deprived of sunlight. A week
or so will often completely change their
characters, and the enforced idleness, uni
versal gloom and bitter cold combined, re-
duce life to it's lowest misery.
