MORE CHURCH ROOM
A New Building to Be Erected by the
Presby tsrians.

ON THEIR BROADWAY SITE

An important meeting of the mem
bers and trustees of the First Presby
terrain church was held Wednesday
evening at which steps were taken to-
ward the building of a magnificent
church edifice in this city. During re
cent years Butte has advanced wonder
fully in most respects, but while 1t has
many churches, some of them very at
tractive in appearance, it has no sight
ly, imposing church edifice such as
Buttes wealth, size and Importance
ought to have. The members of the
First Presbyterian church of this city
have a fine lot in West Broadway, but
the building on it is utterly inadequate
to accommodate the present large con-
gregation. 1t is a small brick church
which was erected IA years ago and
was ample for the congregation at that
time. But while the congregation has
grown with the years, the church
building has not grown and a larger
and finer edifice is imperatively needed.
At the meeting the matter was thor
oughly discussed and ii was decided
to tear down the present edifice and
build a new one the present summer IL
possible. The new church wild cover
the entire lot, and will be an imposing
edifice built of brick and of two stories.
According to the plans Ii will cost
about $4,000.
There are at present about 2OQ mem
bers of the church, and In the mem
bership is included many of the most
prosperous and substantial of Butte's
business men. They have long felt the
necessity of a larger church and viii
now take active steps towards this end.
While the members of the congregation
will contribute largely toward the new
church, yet ii is proposed to ask assist
ance and contributions from citizens
generally. A fine large church edifce
will be a credit to the entire city. and
there is no doubt that citizens generally
will be ready to contribute towards
the erection of a handsome church
The church society is out of debt.
The members ait their meeting elect
ed a new board of trustees who will
have general charge of matters con-
nected with the new church. the So
Letting of subscriptions, etc. The new
trustees are T. NJ Hodgens, L. j.
Hamilton, A. A. Mcmillan, Z. r. Dol
man and Harry Kessler.

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 BUSH
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 busy 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 1.-The
Cash Clothing Company" where you will
see at all times the best values in mems
wear to be had on earth.

WILL Y

Everything now points to the en-
dorsement of Bryan at st. Louis by
b Bimetallic and Populist conven-
ton. Everything all along the line
is working in harmony and in &C
cordance with plans long ago ar
ranged with the most consumate skill
in Washington by the leaders in the
great fight for silver. Every 10Y in
the political checker board, has been
studied with the election Of a silver
President always in view, and the
brainiest men of the nation have
concentrated their intelligence on the
problem.
At every turn the gold men have
been outwitted and downed hand
somely. The big net is closing about
the scoundrels who have impoverished
this country for private gain, and in
November they will go down in a heap
together. With the endorsement of
Bryan Of st. Louis, his election to the
Presidency is settled beyond doubt.
He will be swept into the chair by an
uprising Of the people all over the
American Union, voters who have
decided to manage the affairs OF this
country without the assistance of any
other nation.

VIEWS OF THE

In speaking Of the nomination of
Bryan, Senator Jones of this State
said
This question is above personal
tiles. The people who favor the free
coinage of silver do not care much
how the name Of the candidate or
party is spelled that advocates their
principles. [ have talked with many
Populists and independent silver men
and they all believe we should endorse
Bryan.
Judge A. w. Rucker of Colorado
said Bryan has II get the Repub-
licans and Populists of the West and
Northwest to win. He must gain a
few more Republican votes than Dem
ocratic votes. The St. Louis Conven-
ton this month will be the greatest
political gathering ever held in the
United States except by the great
parties and it is expected they will
endorse Bryan"
Senator Stewart and Congressman
Newlands both predict that Bryan
will be endorsed by the st. Louis con.
vention.

JAPANESE LITERATURE.
Much Activity Among the Learned
Men of the MilSado's Realm.

There is a deal of literary activity in
Japa n just at the present time, which, how
ever Indicative possibly 1t may be Of
something better to come, is now and OF
itself far from CONNIE ndable.
The overwhelming predominance OF TIE
mere periodical is what the writer es-
pecially complains OF. A native Japanese
regrets, among other things, the incompe-
tency of versifyinGi in the Chinese language,
which is spoken Of something common,
the degradation OF literature by the com
mercial spirit, the excessive prevalence of
fiction, the cocksureness or important airs
taken. on them by the class OF youthful
critics that has sprung up.

Quate knowledge Of English men compose
treatises on the comparative merits Of Eng
lish poets, and raw German students cx-
press a preference for one German poet
rather tina another Work neverthe-
less of a much more substa ntial sort than
as thus indicated is happily under way. A
history Of the recent war with China in
charge OF the government, is in contempIa-
ton. which il is expected will require five

WASHINGTON PHOTOGRAPH CLUB
Interesting Camera Exhibit Closed
Last Week


The exhibition of amateur Photographic
work by members of the Washington
Photographic Club last week was an ex-
ceedingly interesting display.
Most Of the photographs exhibited were
for sale, having been contributed by the
members to be disposed of for the benefit
of the proposed salon to be held in this
city next spring. 1t is proposed in this
exhibition to eclipse all former efforts
along this line and to make it an affair
of national Importance. The Photographic
clubs of New Y ork, Boston, 1 Philadelphia,
Cincinnati, Chicago, Minneapolis and other
cities will be invited to join in making
this salon such a success that it shall be
the embodiment and record of everything
that has been done for and by photography
as an art.
The exhibition just closed has shown
that the Washin gton club, if lot actually
leading all others in quality and artistic
value OF work, win so nearly win that dis
tinction as to make, when the accom-
plished facts are taken in connection with
the possibilities of the FUTURE this city

all concerned. Indeed, satisfactory defi-
milton Of art itself has yet to be found, and
besides q few we'll determined canons
which may not be juggled with it is dan
GerouS to lay down rules without visible
reasons. If art be the medium by which
the true artist speaks to his audience and
the test of art be the thoroughness with
which he makes himself understood through
that medium, thenphotographyi is a true art,
and the exhibition OF the Washington Photo
graphic Club, just closed. was a very de-
Cided success.
To give photography place of its own
in the public estimation; to set up stand
ard of excellence by which TO calculate
its special attributes; and to do this with
out reference to the dogmas of other meth
DDS in graphic art; this is the object of anna
teur photography as a class, and the Wash
iugton ClubaS a unit. And this beca use they
see the necessity that exists for the art
that must forever be the principal method
of graphic appeal to the multitude, either
through photography per Sc, or through
the Photographic process work now so uni
verSally used in book and magazine Illus
tration.
4 ne work of the hanging committee was
not difficult, because the number of pic
lures exhibited was limited. The hang
ing could be and was done with satisfaction
to- all. The general impression gained
by the visitor to the rooIns, aside from
the sense of pie asure in the ex xcelent quality
and character OF the work exhibited, was
that the exhibition ran oyermuch to land
scapes, and that more portraits and figure
subjects might have been added with ben
eft to the feeling of balance that kes up
a well-ordered exhibit. Portrait work
is the true province of photography. and
the amateurs need not give up it's best
field to the professional. Land and water
scape should cease to be the symbol OF am
ateurdom.
