J. r. Macdonald. the Milwaukee
capitalist and fnancier, who has un-
dertaken the work of reorganizing the
Golden Sceptrc Mining company at
Quigley. was visitor in Butte last
week. Mr.. Macdonald is one of the
best known financiers in the country
and was at one time president of the
Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern rail
road. 1t was through the Chase Ma
tional bank of New York that Mr..
Macdonald was induced to take hold of
the Golden Scoptre company, the banl,
being one Of the largest creditors of
the institutiol. Receiver Quigley of
the Goluon Sceptre company is now in
the east and Mr.. Macdonald left for
New York to consult with him as well
rs others who are heavily interested
in the suspended company.
Il was greatly surprised to find the
property in splendid shape and one

Prospects Of a Lively Contest at Ma

NO NEWS FROM KING OR Al MAUI
Members of the eAmateur Rifle Club
Compete for the Silver Cup.
CURRENT SPORTING NOTES

The work of the local ball players at Ma
tional Park this morning was confined
chiefly to batting and throwing, sprinting
only being INDUCED in when absolutely
necessary. The members Of the ''McGuires'
and "Farrells' were husbanding their
strength for this afternoons game, and
from indications the game will be a fast
ere, both from a fielding and batting stand
point.
The game this afternoon will be the first
that the friends of the club will have an
opportunity to see for themselves just how
much benefit the Senators have obtained
from their weeks training on the home
grounds. Every player under contract, ex-
Cept King, Maui, Smith and Swain, will be
in the game, and a sort of line can be Sc
cured on the ability of the new members of
the club. It is quite likely that Mercer
ard Kimball will start the game. Win is in
extremely fine fett!e, and the same can be
said of Kimball.
There are a great many patrons of the
game who would just about as soon miss
their Christmas dinner as fail to attend the
first game of the season. There is a great
curiosity among the local lovers Of the
sport to have look at the four new men
who are this year to make their initial bow
in the uniforms of the gray and black of
the Senators. Reilly, Kimball, Ashe and
Sw aim will be targets this afternoon for

the eyes of all of the admirers of the local
team. John Heydler, the well-liked and
conscientious substitute umpire, will Off
ciate in this game. as he will in all the
other exhibition games that the Senators
will play on the home grounds before the
regular season opens
There was no news to be given out this
morning. King and Maui still in the
dark, and it seems to be a general opinion
around the park that neither of these pitch
ers will don local uniform the coming
season. King told several of the players
after he had signed contract at the close
of last season, that he didn't think he
would play this year. He was in need of Il
little money last year to tide him over
some business transaction, and for that
reason came back into the game. King is
quite we'll fixed financially, and the story
seems very plausible.
One or two players hinted at the possi-
bilty of joyce having tampered with the
auburn haired boy, but the idea was scout
ed by Manager SchmelZ and others in au-
thority.
In the case of Maui it is different AL
has been offered good contract If his arm
is any good at all. but it Is the general
impression that he has tried it already and
found 1t weak, and refuses to let this fact
become known through getting into the
box. With these defections. the local pitch
ing list SINNERS down to seven, and with
one or two failures to be expected in this
lot. the pitching corps, which seemed at
HISt " De So NUMEROUS, Will De IOu.ld not
a bit too large.
Charley Farrell never looked better In his
life than he did this morning. and has put
himself in first-cass condition with only
weeks practice. Charley will captain the
'Farrells" this afternoon, and promises his
partner behind the bat, Mcclure, real
warm time.
1t reads strange to go Farrells his
tory in connection with the Senators, and
if indications go for anything, Washington
is the place for him. Killen was traded for
him with Pittsburg; then came the Meekin
and Farrell $500 deal, with New York,
whereby We also gained Petty and Nc
Mahon and last years sJoyce-Farrell-Flynn
$500 arrangement, and Charley was again
in the senatorial fold. where it is hoped
he will remain for the rest of his base ball
days.
After the Senators quit practice this
morning at IL o'clock the Norfolk team
marched on the field in regular mddle-of-
'the-season style, and indulged in a two
hour practice bout with bat and ball This
practice will be continued until the club
meets the Senators next Thursday. The
Norfolks are a likely looking set, ard will
make the local club extend itself in the
opening game

JACKSON AND BRYAN.

Nothing would seem to be more incon-
gruous than for the leading apostle of
silver, William j. Bryan, to be sound
ing the praises of Andrew Jackson, the
President Of the United States who
signed the death warrant of silver as a
full money metal i'll this country and
installed gold in the place that silver
had occupied in the currency of the
nation. Yet not only Bryan, but the
silver Democrats all over the land
glorifed Old Hickory on the an
niversary Of the battle of New Orleans,
as if he were the patron saint sof their
financial cult To be- sure they relied
chiefly upon. what they called Jackson's
opposition to banks to identify him with
their views, but when history is told
Alright his position as regards banks was
as little like theirs aa his position as
regards silver. In the first place jack
sons raid upon the United States bank
was not inspired by any motive of pub
lie policy. 1t rested in the beginning on
40 conviction that the bank was in any
way inimical to the public welfare or
that it was unsound. As the controversy
progressed, both these allegations were
set up. though neither OF them was prov
en-. The attack upon the bank had its
origin in an attempt to remove politi-
cal opponent from office, and like great
many other of Jackson acts it was In
spired almost entirely by personal mo-
tiyes. OF course Bryan attempts to make
it appear that this crusade vas the result
of opposition on Jackson's part to banks
and monopolies such as he and his dis
cipla are afflicted with. But the idea OF
opposition to banks in general probably
never entered Jackson head. OF course
he used the fact that the United States
bank enjoyed n monopoly of deposits OF
United States funds for all it was worth
In getting the assistance Of other banks
to aid him in tho destruction of this
particular one, but there was nothing
in his raid from beginning to end to in
dictate that he shared to any extent the
Bryanits hatred to banks in general.
On the contrary the finds TINT were re-
moved from the United States bank were
depositad in other banks which came to
lie known as Jackson's pets. When
Mr.. Bryan undertakes to make 1t appear,
therefore, that Jacksons raid on the
United States Banks was conceived in op-
position to or hatred OF inonop0lies or
banks in genera |, he simply falsifies his

Machine For Distances.

The telemeter is an invention the pur-
pose of which is to measure distance in
very easy and accurate way. The con-
struction Of it is somewhat in this wise :
A telescope is mounted upon an arm
about three feet long, the end of the
arm nearest the telescope having grad
uation scale for either angles or dis
tances. A horizon glass is firmly at
tached to the arm, and there is also an
adjustable yernier which acts with the
adjacent graduations on the arm. The
rejecting surface of the index glass is
set at an angle of 45 degrees to the axis
of the lever. The manipulation is very
simple. Looking through the telescope
and horizon glass at the object the dis
lance of which is to be measured, the
lever is swung over SO that the index
glass receives the image and reflects 1t
to the horizon glass at point coinci-
dent with the line Of sight. The vernier
determines the angle. and the base line
being known the distance of the object
may be readily computed. New York
