KNOCKED OUT.
stephen shovlin Tells q TRANCE Story OF
1-- ra Being Robbed.

Stephen Shovlin. a recent arrival from
California, told strange story to the po-
lice yesterday morning. He said that he
arrived from the West Friday morning
and went out to see the town that even
ing. He only took a few drinks and was
sober enough to know what he was doing
all of the time. He went into a bad lands
saloon, the exact location of which he
cannot remember, on Friday evening, and
the next thing he knew officer Hadley
was pulling him out of a bed in an up
stairs room in the Copper block, a little
before o'clock yesterday morning, for
sleeping on private premises without the
consent of the owners. On searching his
pockets he found that he had been robbed
of between $50 and $3.50 in money and a
$500 draft. He had no recollection of go
ing to the room in which he was found
and he supposes that he was doped and
robbed and then carried up into the Cop
per block and put to bed. He stopped pay
ment on the draft and borrowed money
from friends in the city to pay a fine that
was imposed for sleeping on private prem

GIVING UP CHRISTIANITY.

II there has been any cessation of
Armenian atrocities lately ii is not be-
cause OF any clemency on the part of
the sultan and his troops, or any inter
ference on the part of the powers, not
excepting Russia. 1t is because the Ar
menians, despairing of receiving assist
ance from foreign sources, and seeing
nothing but torture and death before
them, have accepted the alternative,
the faith of Islam. Thousands Of
them have done this-and it is a more
serious thing than appears on the face
of 1t. Not only have they been COM
PEELED to perform certain Mohammedan
rites and ceremonies of a nature OBJ
noxious to Christians. but those who
are married have been forced to aban-
don their wives to some Mohammedan
harem, each receiving in exchange for
his own wife a Moslem companion, the
latter being usually an old and cast-off
harem inmate.
Nobody can blame the Ar1nenians for
thus renouncing Christianity-least of
all the Christian nations. England,
more than any other nation, is respon-
sible. The London correspondent of
the New York Sun, declares that even
the English papers which have cham
pioned the cause of the Arm2nians
from the start do not care to print
the stories of the persecution and des-
titution which every mail now brings
to England Each one is a fresh indict-
ment against the British government,
and the infamy is shared by all Eng
lishmen. Conservative journals now
admit that the impotent meddling by
Great Britain really caused the massa-
ere of hundreds of Armenians who
would otherwise have escaped the fan
atheism which British interference
made fierce and relentless. THE awful
stupidity of Lord Salisbury. who made
the situation twice as bad as 1t would
have been and then lacked the cour-
age 10 control 1t. is now understood and
lamented in Armenia itself more keen
ly than anywhere else"

Everything indicates that Butte is
about entering on very prosperous
season again. Every one seems conf
dent and the old saying that, What
everyone says must be true" seems TO
be applicable to this case, and also to
another-that is to say-everyone says,
Centennial beer is the finest in the
market, and so long as they can get a
good article at home at fair price,
they will not send away for it," and
they are dead right"

The Auditorium was crowded last even

marked attention. About $50 handed in
cards signifying their wish TO subscribe.
In addition about 500 has already been
turned in by the labor unions. The pro-
gramme was interesting. Opening remarks
were made by NJ. J. Geiger, chairman and
speeches were made by w. A. Allen SEN

president of the Butte Miners union.
Misses Minnie and Louise Reichelt, Capt

THE EARTH CORNERED.

We have heard much of late years Of
corners i'll most all of the commodities
Of life, but the announcement by a seri-
Gus and competent writer that the earth
is cornered is a sensational statement
that ought to challenge the 'Senous
Senity" and prolonged meditation of
all. Mr.. J. J. Mccain of ST. Louis has
published n book with the above name,
and he proceeds to prove that his seem
ingly romantic title is sad and sober
fact. He makes his appeal to statistics
and other facts, and | shall subjoin a
few of them, for they are pertinent
and present one of the gravest problems
of the age.
There are in the United States 56,-
900, 600 landless people. These are COM
PEELED week by week to pay for the priv
ilege of living on the earth, condition
that is as unnatural as if they should
pay for breathing the air OF basking in
the sunshine. And yet our land area is
not overpopulated. 1t could support 20
times as many people i'll plenty. On the
one hand we have untitled land on the
other idle people who are willing to
work. With this state Of affairs the fol
lowing statement, taken at random from
the book, is signiicant:
''All wealth comes from and all work
is done on land only, and it is the
primary bank of all riches and the sole
employer of all labor" D." Again, we are
brought face to face with the fact that
of the II, 900, 900 souls i'll the country
10000, 600 are comfortable, in pinching
frugality and settled dependency are
$4,000, 900, and 11,000 600 very poor
and destitute.
In 1886 there were l, 449 homicides
in this country. For 1 1 months in 1895
there were 1900. All other crimes in
creased with even greater ratio and in
sanity is rapidly multiplying.
OF the upward Of 5000 families as
sisted by the Provident association in
St Louis in 1895 over 70 per cent want
ed work and could not get it.
These are sad chronicles, but every
one wants the truth. The facts must be
faced manfully, as they furnish the
basis of solution. There are in certain
quarters feeble and fruitless attempts to
overlook the situation, but this spirit is
manifestly unfair and puerile and de-
serves the pity Of all sensible men.
There are some grave wrongs, and we
can and must right them. Those who
refuse to come to the light give evidence
that they are afraid of investigation.
The times are past for dodging real is
sues or for wholesale denunciation, but
every day is ripe for earnest, clear and
forcible presentation Of fact aud argu-
ment
"The Earth Cornered" is thought
provoking and fact arraying book.

to the vibrations Of social conditions,
and scarcely note can he independently
strike that is not painful. Most men are
not really happy. Hard work is the wa
ters OF Lethe they drink to dull the
haunting visions of their real selves.
What means social unrest? 1t is the So
cial discord arising from individual self
ishness. 1t is the dominating influence
of social warfare in predatory trade in
place of social cooperation in produc-
tion and distribution.
What can harmonize social forces and
neutraliZe the power of selfishness?
Plainly clearer. perception of the ends
of life, the perception that ends are
higher and more authoritative in their
demands than means, the perception of
true social ends in place of material
means to an end, which so often misrep-
resent themselves to their possessor as
ends. The unrest and unhappiness of
the world are the source of social dis
cord among economic forces. No one
is happy i'll the best sense of the word.
The ears of both the slayer and the slain
are pierced with noise The rich man
trembles bsfore the poor mans gestures
of pain Both classes waste their ener-
gies. Both have disobeyed the laws of
harmony. Both have naturally been i'm
PEELED to exercise their strength, but the
conditions which surrounded them were
different, and the philosophy of neither
was broad enough to enable him to COM
prehend the position of the other or TO
dream that together they could shape
the conditions Of life to meet its ends
and bring happiness to both. When the
world perceives the true social end of
man in development, then will this per-
ception disarm selfish impulse and social
forces gradually fall into harmony to
that tune Of order which the morning
stars sang together, and which unsen-
tient, material forces have continued to
sing to this day. W. G. TODD.

Memorial pay Observance.

In view of the fact that there is more
or less discussion in the public press as
to the proper manner of observing Mem
orial Day, the following from an old
veteran, Editor Rauch, Of the Mauch
Chunk Democrat, is timely and broad
minded. He says:
"All llpatriotic citizens agree that Mem
orial Day should be entirely devoted to
becoming and wcll-deservcd manifcsta-
tions of honor for the many thousands
who gave their lives in defense of the
great American republic. But such
manifestations of honor and respect, to
be worth anything, must be voluntary
under sense of real patriotic duty.
I'VE are lead to this subject by meet
ing of Grand Army men at Lancaster.
who adopted a resolution to petition
the governor to emphasize the fact in
his proclamation that the day should be
strictly memorial, and not holiday for
sporting events.
I'VE doubt the propriety of such ac-
tion on the part Of surviving veterans
hiI Jilt htN NlOVIi W. SlllNllN ODSll tN
in the manner suggested. we believe no
right minded and really patriotic man
or woman will question. But as to the
particular manner of observing the day.
that cannot be prescribed either by
state legislation or executive proclama-
ton for the good reason that in regard
to patriotic manicStion and observance,
as in religion, people will more or less
differ.
For our own part, if asked, we
would not encourage any kind of sport
on Memorial Day. but thousands Of others
fail to see any wrong in that manner of
observing the day, and it would be en-
tircly inconsistent with the idea of indie
pendent American citizenship to in
terfere by prescribing any specified form
or manner Of the celebration.
"What may be all wrong or inappro-
pirate according to our own ideas, may
be all right and appropriate in the minds
of others. whose honest opinions are en-
titled to as much respect as our own
