IL will be seen that even with 81
deaths from the great powder explo-
sion. the month Of January of 1895 was
not the month of greatest mortality in
Butte. There were three months thai
were worse. November, 1890. when
smoke, pneumonia and typhoid fever
did great execution. and February and
March Of 1891. when the la grippe
scourge first attacked Butte and found
a ripe field for deadly work. The worst
month in Butte's history was February
Of 1891, when. in % days. there were 100
deaths.
The Standard regrets its inability TO
furnish the causes Of death during 1895
the social relations. ages, occupations
nativity, etc, and this is especially 20
be regretted inasmuch as there have
been complete figures on these points
furnished in preceding years. and the
mortuary record Of Butte will fail TO be
of its full value with the record for 1895
50 sadly incomplete
During 1896 thus far there are report
ed a. deaths for January and y for
February. January was rather above
the average for that month, while Feb
ruary was lower than for that month
Of any other year except 1895.

LABOR AND CAPITAL.
A Vivid Picture Portrayed by the Frawiey
Company.


Company.
The Frawley company last night
preached one of the greatest sermons
on the labor question ever heard in
Butte through their performance of
The Lost Paradise" The play deals
with the clash between labor and capt.
tai. the oppression of the one and the
greed and arrogance of the other and
Its indifference to the condition Of the
unfortunate. The story is well told and
II was as well performed. The play is
rich in dramatic situations, thrilling
scenes and sensational climaxes. 1t is
full of interest that reaches home to
every heart and does not contain an
improbable situation Of character, for
they exist on every hand in everyday
life. The main story of the play Is
beautifully harmonized with an alb
sorbing love story. Miss Jennie Ken
mark, a beautiful woman and an ac-
complished actress, was granted the
honors for her delightful performance
of the character of a noble souled girl
who sees the wrongs suffered by those
around her and championed their
cause Mr.. Frawley did excellent work
in the character of the high-spirited
factory superintendent who felt the
cause OF the men about him because he
had been one of them and had suffered
with them. Mr.. Arbuckle gave a fin
ished performance of a part in which
he had not the sympathy of the audi
ence. Miss Hope Ross and Mr.. Leslie
added much sparkle to the play and
Miss Rowan played the part of an I'M
fortunate factory girl with much feel
ing. Miss Bates appeared in a low
comedy characterization and did full
justice to II. Mr.. Enos, as the labor
agitator and the disturbing element
among the workmen, did some very
forcible work. Other characters were
well taken by Mr.. Osbourne, Mr.. Blake
more, Mr.. King, Mr.. Thompson, Miss
McAllister and other members of the !
company. The house was well filled |
again.

THERE IS A CHANGE
May Is Now the Beginning of the
8 Administration Year.
THOMPSONlAN CALENDAR
People Are Wondering Why the
Official Mortuary Record for
1905 Has Not Been Published
-"Standard's" Figures.

A number of inquiries have been re-
-ceived at the Butte Office of the Stand
ard from citizens evidently deeply m
terested in Butte's progress, desiring
Information as to why at the beginning
of the present year no mortuary state
ment was published in the Standard.
showing the deaths each month during
the year 1895. Ever since 1890 it has
been customary at the beginning Of the
year for the health Office to have print
closed, showing the number Of deaths
each month, the causes Of death,
whether male or female, the occu-
pations. social relations. ages. nativity,
location by wards, suburbs, etc, the
number of burial permits issued. and
giving also the number of coroner's
cases during the year. the average
death rate per thousand and much
other information of general interest.
\ Unable to answer the several in
quiries which were received, Standard
reporter questioned members of the
board of health on the subject and was
informed that the administration had
decided not to permit any annual re-
ports of officials for the beginning of
the year, but to have ali annual reports
made up on May 1, so that they might
be compared with the work of the
preceding administration. While there
might be some sense in making the
year end with May 1 so far as police
reports. treasurer's reports, ETC., are
concerned, the sense of changing
Butte's entire mortuary record since
1890 is hard to guess at In every city
in the United States annual mortuary
reports are made up for each year, the
year in every city in the United States
beginning with Jan. l, and ending with
Dec. 81. But the present administra-
ton has decreed that there shall be no
mortuary report for 1895. that no an
nual death rate shall be made up for
1895 to compare with other cities, and
that hereafter the year must begin
with May / and end with April 80.
Consequently the four months from
Jan. to April 30, 1895. must never be
included in any record.
The people of Butte, stupidity enough
perhaps, are slow to accustoming them
selves to the obliteration of the. old
calendar years, and the substitution of
a calendar year which begins May /.
administrations cut very little figure
with the thinking public and they
would like very much to know whether
the deaths during 1895 were more or
less than during other years in Butte,
but this they will never know, official
ly. at least, from the present city gov
eminent.
For the Information of the many in
terested in this subject. the Standard
has prepared some unofficial figures,
showing the number of deaths in each
month of 1895, as published in the |
Standard from month TO month. These
unofficial figures show the number of !
deaths in Butte during 1895 to have
been as follows:
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1896-03-07

Butte to know that. although the pop
ulation Of Butte is steadily increasing
from year to year, the number of
deaths during 1895 was less than dur
ing any preceding month since the rec
ord was kept except 1892. This is in
spite of the fact that the number of
deaths in 1895 was swollen by 81 killed
in the powder explosion. But for that
great calamity the year 1895 would
have shown many less deaths than in
any preceding year.

mortality OF several years viii be. of

EYES," said Joseph Bonner, superin-
tcndent of telegraph for the Southern
Pacific railroad, telegraph poles along
the line have a hard time. Partie ularly
is this so out West, where the poles are
costly and stations are few and far be-
tween. Now, out in the Arizona desert
the poles are played the deuce with
generally. There is a sort of wood
pecker that picks the posts absolutely
to pieces, thinking there may be insects
inside Of the wood. They hear the
hulnming and haven't sense enough to
know what causes it. Then near the
hills the black bears imagine that each
pole contains a swarm of bees and they
climb to the top and chew the glass in
sulators to pieces, but the sandstorms
are the things that create the most
havoc. When the wind blows strongly
the sand is drifted at a rapid rate, and
the grains cut away the wood at a fear
full rate. 1t was a common thing to
have an oak pole worn to a shaving in
q days time, while l have seen poles
Just ground to the surface of the earth
during a single storm. Things got so
bad out there that the company decided
to substitute steel poles for the oak
and cedar, but that didn't remedy the
evil at all. The sand just wore away
the metal on each side of the pole until
the center was as sharp as a razor, and
all the Indians in the country used to
shave themselves on the edge. We fl.
nally managed to fix things. We lust
painted the poles with soft pitch. The
pitch caught the sand, and now every
pole is about two feet thick and solid

TEA, COFFEE AND SUGAR.

Differences in the Averages of Con
sumption in Various Countries.
Twenty ounces a year for each in
habitant has been the u%nvarying aver
age of tea consumption in the United
States for twenty-five years. Eng
lands average for the same period has
been eighty ounces for each inhab-
tant, or four times greater. Tea drink
ers, as a rule, 8 more sugar than
coffee drinkers do. Tea drinking coun-
tries are the greater consumers of
sugar. In Spain, where chocolate is
more popular as a drink than tea, and
in France, where coffee is proverbially
popular and supposedly best made, SUI
gar is, relatively, less used.
The annual consumption of sugar in
the United States is now 100000
tons. which is about sixty-tive pounds
a person. or the total the United
State produce $4,000 tons, 100000
being imported. The United States
pay annually over sos, 100000 for for.

land and Denmark being thirty pounds
and of France and Switzerland twenty
three pounds.
The expression enormous" often er-
roneously used by statisticians intent
upon establishing a proposition or cor
recting an adverse contention, is cor
rect in the case of Holland as n coffee
consuming country, for the total con-
sumption of coffee in a year amounts
to 10000 tons, and the total area of
Holland is 1900 square miles-less
than half the size Of West Virginia.
On the basis of the population tho
coffee consumption Of Holland is 325
ounces yearly for each inhabitant. and
the other countries have the averages
following: United States, $50; Ger
many, 80; France, 20; Austro-Hungary,

land, Is; Spain, ., and Russia 3.
The English taste for tea has never
extended to the United States, but,
oddly enough, in those portions Of
Canada in which the inhabitants are
of English descent the consumption of
tea is just as large as in either Eng
land Or Ireland. In tea and coffee
drinking the United States follow
rather France and Germany than Eng
land, though the reaon for this prefer
ence is not altogether clear. New
