Napo. con Presents the imperial Eagles to
Ills Amy.

Three DAYS after the coronation of Ma
poleon a grand review was held in the
Champ de Mars, which was followed by
the distribution of the Imperial Eagles
10 the different corps of the army. These
eagles were to surmount the colors of the
empire. and many OF them afterwards ac-
ouired a most interesting history by rea-
son of the events at which they were
displayed. The emperor, seated on
magnificent throne raised in front OF the
military school. arrayed In royal robes
and wearing the crown of the Caesars
made the distribution in person. At
given signal the troops approached him,
whereupon he addressed them as follows;
Soldiers there are your standards; these
eagles will always serve you for rally
ing point They will be wherever your
emperor deems II necessary you should
bear them for the defense OF his throne
and his people. You swear to sacrifice
your lives to defend them, and constantly
10 maintain them by your courage in the
nath 10 honor and victory" The soldiers
replied. with cheers. I'VE swear" Napo-
leon knew men well. The influence or
such public presentations was immense.
They encouraged those who had received
the honors TO preserve the reputation
they had thus gained, end they awakened
the ambition of hundreds and thousands
more who desired similar marks of dis
tinction. on the same day there was a
banquet at the Tuileries, where the pope
and emperor sat side by side at the same
table clad I'm their pontihcal and impe-
rial ornaments and served by the grand
officers of the crown.

AT LAST

The people of Butte have at last found
a place where they can buy mems wear
as low. If not lower, than the same goods
are usually sold for in the great busi-
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 Isy 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.

HOME FOR ATHLETES
A Proposition on Foot to Erect a
Model Club House.
M'MlLLAN TAKES THE LEAD
The Membership Would Be Large.
and here is No Doubt hat the
Plan Would rrove Profitable
TO Canvass the City.

It is more than probable that Butte
will soon have a social and athletic
club building equal to any in the West,
a plan to that end being now under
consideration by a number of ex-college
men who are interested in athletics.
The scheme was first proposed by
George Mcmillan, manager of the Butte
football club, and it has met with al
most enthusiastic favor, many having
already offered to take quite number
of shares of stock provided the club is
made corporation. 1t is Mr.. McMil-
lan's idea that every member should be
made a shareholder. The football team
has made the proposition that what
ever money they may take in this sea-
son they will donate towards putting
in a plunge bath in such club house.
The idea is to erect a building, or
have some one put Ii up for the club,
arranged purposely for social and
athletic club, fitted up with a gymna-
stun, plunge, shower and bath tubs,
bicycle and running tracks, library and
reading rooms, parlor, card rooms, bill
lizard and pool rooms, cafe, etc. Butte
has no such a resort for it's young men
and the need of it is evident. The Re
lance club of Oakland, has such a club
with only about 500 members and they
own their own building and grounds
and as finely an equipped club house
as any one could desire and the MEM
bership dues are only $3.50 a month.
Seattle has a similar club with a MEM
bership of $50 and is making money.
It's bowling alley last month cleared
$780, and the club owns the building IL
occupies. Portland and Tacoma also
have such clubs with each member
ship of about 450 and their rooms are
always filled with members.
Mr.. Mcmillan Is confident that the
Butte club could start with a member
ship of at least $50 good men and that
the monthly dues would not exceed 81
or 81. so at most, and that amount would
be reduced as the membership in
creases. With a good and popular man
for president the success of the club
would be assured. In this connection
the name of NJ. j. Connell has already
been suggested.
| A canvass will be made in a day or
so to ascertain the feeling among bust
ness men and others interested in the
| project and If the result warrants Ii
| proposition will probably be made to
James A. Murray to construct his new
| building at the corner of Main and
| Granite to meet the requirements of
| club house. If such a club is estab-
| lished every member of the Butte foot
ball team will become member of Ii
and the team will then join the Central
Athletic association.

track and request the receiver TO close the
balance.
Mayor Davie declares the whole thing is
a political job. He declares that he has
never refused to allow lumber for the
bridge--that in fact no such requisition
had ever been presented to him. The
Mayor threatened that if the Superinten-
dent attempted to carry out the orders of
the Council he would go down himself and
tear the obstruction down and would even
arrest the Superintendent for violating the
law by blocking public street.
Superintendent Miller, however, took a
force of men this afternoon and closed the
street, except that portion occupied by the
electric road.
Mayor Davie tonight said:
81 shall take force of men In the morn
ing, 60 down to the bridge and repair it
and then remove the distractions placed
there to-day by Miller. The whole thing
is political job. The bridge only needs
few boards on the flooring and it will do
until the contractors begin to rebuild it
next month. There have been thousands
OF dollars allowed for the corporation yard,
but where does it go. No requisition has
been made for lumber to repair the bridge
If he wants lumber for any specific pur-
pose L will sign the requisition, but will
never sign one for lumber to go into the
corporation yard, SO that it can be carried
home to be made into chicken coops and
fences for privste individuals"

BERKELEY, CAL, May president
Wyckoff of the senior class at the uni

The committee in charge refuses to
divulge the nature of the performances
which are to take place in the amphi-
theater in the afternoon and around
which the interest of the day is custom
arily centralized. They merely state that
the performance will not be of such de-
eidedly spectacular nature as that of '95,
but that it will be more like the class-day
programmes rendered eight or ten years
ago. 1--WE are going to bring to life some
of the old college customs if we can," said
one of the committee to-day, "but we will

the magnificent jeweled banner given TO
Mrs. Thorpe at the Worlds Fair. 1t was
presented in the Michigan building by the
women of that State and contains thirty

used. There is an oil portrait of the au-
thor and scene suggested by the poem

The Poles Not Up Yet.
ALAMEDA, CAL, May All day long
Old Glory spread itself to the breeze
over the Central block. All day long at
the foot of Chestnut street and Clement
avenue posthole remained open. They
were both the act of the much talked
about f. N. Delaney. The import of the
latter's action was distinct and unmistak-
able. His visor was closed and the gage
thrown down. The city authorities
ascribed the upfuring of the flag to the
enanciation of local Monroe doctrine.
Mr.. Delaney said the flag might be said to
represent jewelry, the consistency being
wanting. He had dug the hole, informed
the street superintendent OF his action,
waited for two hours at the hole to be ar
rested and at last begged to be arrested, as
the city authorities had notified him would
be done. But they would not arrest. The
city is going to content itself with pulling
up the poles as soon as they are inserted.
This afternoon neither the City Attorney
nor Counsel Bruner had decided on their
future action. One is simply waiting for
the other. So far no poles have been set
up. They are reposing in the mud of the
estuary.

Eighth-street bridge was closed this
afternoon, and the public was bereft of
one of the only two highways connecting
East Oakland with Broadway.
The tracks of the electric road are open,
and that corporation has, therefore, a
privilege that is denied citizens. The road
is in the hands of receiver, and to touch
its property would be contempt of court
and would Immediately cause an injunc-
ton to issue.
The whole matter is the result of the
deadlock between Mayor Davie and Street

that he can get no requisitions for ma

the Mayors Office and that it is in such a
dangerous condition that the city will be
