THE FIRE M e NJ.
A Meeting Held in Which Important Mat
tiers Were Discussed.

A Meeting Held in Which Important Mat
tiers Were Discussed
meeting of the Butte fire depart
ment was held at the Central station
last evening, with an attendance of b.
seven volunteers and six paid men. The
finance committee was instructed to
compare the books of the treasurer and
the former secretary and ascertain
whether or not there is shortage in
the accounts of the latter, and If So
what ii amounts to. A committee con-
sisting of Z. Dayton, NJ. Il. Hotchkiss
Phil Tucker and L. Frank was appoint
ed to wait on Mayor Thompson and the
fire committee and urge the reappoint-
ment and confirmation of A. j. Werner
and Fred Dugdale as fire chief and
captain Frank Murray was placed on
the honorary list and a small amount
of minor business was transacted. 1t
has been apparent for some time that
the volunteer department was on its
last legs and ii is now being reorgan-
lied on entirely new lines. 1t is the
intention to introduce the beneficial
idea by providing for sick benefit of
IS a week and a funeral benefit of $50
for members. 1t is proposed to make
the initiation fee IS or more and the
monthly dues so or 70 cents and the
members will receive rs cents an hour
for attendance at fires under the city
ordinance relating to the volunteer de-
partment. A committee is now at work
amending the constitution and bylaws
to conform to this plan, and they ex-
pect to hand in their report at the
next regular meeting. Immediately
thereafter the undesirable element in
the volunteer department will be weed
ed out as fast as possible and an or
ganized effort will be made to increase
the membership with young men of
standing and influence. The volunteer
department now has about $500 in the
treasury, which will put the remodeled
organization on an easy financial foot

A NEW HOME.

A Woman's Christian Home was or
gauized at the Metropolitan A. M. E.
Church, Sunday March ~, its object
being to shelter and protect young
women in this city, or those who may
and to throw around them the enter:
tanning pleasures of a good house and
home. 1t will care for women only OF
good repute, therefore ladies who may
need such home, under the protec-
ton of Christian ladies need have nc
tear of being thrown with the immoral
class, as the purpose of the organizaa'
tion is the shield from vice. The fol-
lowing ladies are the officers:
Miss A. r. Bowen, President; Miss
Dollie Wilkes, Secretary; MISS Clceiy
|. Pavne, Treasurer Mrs. Jessie Law
son. Chairman, Executive Committee.
The cause is a worthy one, very much
needed at this time and the people
should rally to its support.

The plain materials are trimmed
with bands of velvet and the figured
ones have no trimming except some
finish for the yoke of bows OF ribbons
for the little ones.
There is an effort to introduce long
shoulder effects, but women refuse to
admit to the straightjaCket conhne-
ment of these unnatural cuts.
The prettiest of the new shirt-waists
are made of linen or batiste and prom
iSes to have greater vogue than last
year.
Most of the new blouses have sepa-
rate collar and cuffs, of stiff1y laund-
cred white linen, or of pink, blue or
pale yellow.
A beautiful visiting gown is one of
green CamelS hair, with coat of brown
ground liberty velvet with Persian pat
terms in softly blended colors. Fancy
straw hats trim ned with primroses and
black straw lace.
A smart velvet basque has satin
sleeves to match the skirt.
Cashmere and challie and the soft
novelty woods which are frightened
with silk threads are the favorite fab
RIGS for dressy little frocks for young
misses.
A dark-blue camel'S hair serge,
silky and soft to the touch, makes a
smart street gown. A waist-coat of
any becoming color, contrasting or
harmonizing with the blue.
Gowns of batiste, lawn and organdy,
will have a narrow trimming at the foot
or laced-edged ruffie.
A dressy toque of fancy straw, trim
med with a wreath of CrocuS blossoms
and leaves, and white aigrette.
A pretty cycling hat of soft gray felt,
trimmed with navy blue satin and blue
Jay feathers.
Fine sailor hats are seen of burnt
straw; trimmed with gull wings and
brown satin.
Pretty convenient blouSeS are out in
striped batiSte, with separate collar
and cuffs of laundered linen.
Batiste is specially commended for
outing blouses, as it does not become
or show the soil as readily as lawns
and cambricS.
Although the fancy round waist de-
videS favor with the very chic little
coats of velvet and rich brocade, this
fact does not make any difference in
the number of separate waists seen.

and velvet, with front of while chiffon

Certain Words In the Judges Let

Those In the Will.

The exalninatio of Z. B. Hay, the hand
writing expert of this city, was continued
at the beginning OF today's session OF the
Holt will trial. In spite Of the rise in tenn
perature, the attendance was large. Fully
half the audience were ladies.
Mr. Hay. in Ills suave, pleasant manner,
lectured before the jury for fully an hour,
and pointed cut to them the thousand and
one little ehara ctsristics existing in the
letters that Judge; Holt wrote, and the
mysterious wilt his heirs-at-law are at
tempting to prove he did not write
Mr. WorthiDgt9n, cross questioned Mr..
Ray. He begaBfoh the little word or that
occurs many times in the will and which
Judge Holt, Ike every other writer, had u
manner of writing NIL his own. The expert
attempted mapy limitations OF the word
on the blackboard before him until he had
written IL nine times.
Now" said Mr.. WorthiDgton, ''if you
can find any letters in a period OF five years
where Judge Holt made nine consecutive
OFFS as near a1iEe as those in the Will,
wish you would point them out"
The witness began by selecting one of
the letters, and said, after perusing IL,
that he found five OF the characteristic
''ors.'' r4e
How many times is IL Omitted?''
"It Is Omitted three fines"
Other words were selected by Mr.. Worth
iDgton, who asked the witness to designate
wherein they resembed or differed from
similar words in the will. The cross-ex-
animation covered about an hours time
but few new, facts were, ,3ievelOped.
Mr.. Hay maintained throughout that he
found a siiniia rity between tie ctiara cter-
is,ics OF chirography in the letters and in

Investigation into the charges against War
den John Leonard OF the District jail has
begun in earnest.
A day or two ago Mr.. Cook filed addi-
tional information and charges, and today
Judge Hagner began the inquiry by sum-
moning before him james Peake, pris-
oner, whose affidavit alleging certain ir-
regularities was filed Wednesday. Peake

Judge Hagner examined Peake FOR an
hour, and told him TO appear before him

witness. The examination was conducted
In secret. 1t is believed that the other
witness, who win be present, will be Maud
I!liey Judge Hagner Is in possession or
several letters written by Maud Liley to
Peake. which necessitates confronting her
with the man.

PLATT, ACCEPTS IT.
VIII support the Ticket and Is Sure
of IT'S SUccess

w tue lchtt anu Is sure
of Its Success.
st. Louis, June 19.-Hon. Thomas C, Platt,
when asked last night how he felt aboutthe
work OF the convention, replied:
Like good soldier, l accept the situation
and will support the ticket heartily, ard
believe it Will be elected. There has been
much in the contest to irritate and dis
hearten he Republicans who have not been
in accord with the men who have become
masters of the situation
Our friends are satisfied with the result
of their efforts in compelling the adoption
of a gold standard platform. That is of
more Importance to the success of the ticket
and the prosperity ofthe nation than all the
rest. 1t is conceded that the controlling
element of the New York delega ton led to
the movement, and was instrumental in ac-
conlplishing this object.
'.As for the head OF the ticket. no one
doubts that he will stand upon the plat form
that the convention has adopted, and carry
out the principles therein enunciated. What
ever may have occurred in the past, I feel
confident that he will govern himself by
the wishes OF the people as so clearly ex--
pressed in the gold-staHdard platform.
THE only other thing that the controlling
element desired, which they found unattain-
able. was the naming OF candidate from
New York State for the Vice Presidency.
They would have accomplished that result
had Gov. Morton consented to the use OF his
name for the second place, after the conven-
ton declined to name him for the first place
He would have consented to the use OF his
name for the Vice Presidency in the interest
OF harmony and the success of the ticket,
but he learned Of the factious opposition
ofthe small minority of the New York dele
cation. and wired, peremptorily declining to
permit his name to go before the conven-
tion.''
