ALL Washington is talking
of the folly displayed by Pres
ident-elect Mckinley in making
Senator Sherman his secretary
of state. The aged senator's
mind is said to be almost a
wreck. "He cannot remem Der
the most serious event for ten
minutes" writes the St. Louis
Republic correspondent. This
appointment is merely for the
purpose of side tracking Sem
ator Sherman, in order to give
his seat in the senate to Mark
Hanna Thus will Mckinley
pay his debt to his election
manager, aud Hanna will have
all the pull be wants for his
syndicate.

THE PRESIDENTS
WIFE MANNERS.

When the President and his
wife drive out the President
sits on the right-hand seat and
his wife on the left, if there
others in the carriage. whether
ladies or gentlemen, they must
sit with their backs to the
horses, says the Philadelphia
Press.
When Mrs. Cleveland was
first married she tried the ex-
pertinent of placing her moth
er opposite the President and
herself in the Presidential Ian
dau, but the people laughed at
it SO imrnoderately and profes
sed to think Mrs. Folsom las
she was them to be the maid
that it was speedily dropped.
When the Presidents wife
drives alone she sits in the
right hand corner-the place
of honor.
The lady ofthe White House
cannot set foot within those
splendid houses in Washing
ton whose fagstafs mark the
foreign embassy or legation.
She could not go without the
President, and as an embassy
or legation is technically part
of the country it represents,
the Presidenr could not go-so
that she never sees the inside
of diplomatic house as long
as she presides at the executive
mansion.
The President dimes only at
Cabinet houses, and his wife
cannot dine anywhere without
him. President Arthur dined
with Judges of the Supreme
Court and with Senators, but
as he had no wife, the whole
system was very much simpli-
fed for him.
The Presidents wife may, if
she chooses, go to luncheons
where there are no gentlemen,
or to teas, both being regard
ed as strictly informal, but the
danger of giving ofense by
one invitation and
declining another is SO great
that it is seldom or never risk
ed.

| QUEEN VICTORIA's
NERVE.
A singular fact about Queen
is that she has not only always
enjoyed exceptionally good
Health, and that even at her
present advanced age she is
unusually strong and well; but
that she had more hairbreadth
escapes than any other sover
eign in history, says the New
York Journal. No fewer than
seven attempts have been
made on her life and these
have been occasions when the
Queen has seemed face to face
with death.
Hyde Park was the scene of
the first attempt on the
Queens life, which was made
by a youth of II, who, on the
10th of July, -I84o, fired at her
Majesty with a pistol. The
Prince Consort, to whom the
Queen had been married a few
months before, happily saw
the youth in time to draw his
wife down beside him, so that
the ball passed over her head
The mad youth was for some
time confined in Bedlam and
was afterward allowed to go to
Australia.
Only two years passed away
before the second attempt,
when, almost on the same
spot, a man named Francis FIR
ed at the Queen as she was
again driving with the Prince.
The shot missed, and Francis
was sentenced to death for
high treason, the sentence be
ing afterward committed to
transportation for life by de
sire of the Queen.
Strangely enough, on the
very day her Majesty's clemen
cy became known, a bunch
back named Bean, a mere
youth, made another attempt
to injure the Queen. He was
transported for seven years.
Twenty-one years ago, when
the Queen was crossing TO
Gasport from Osborne, there
was faint collision with the
royal yacht, in which three
persons persisted. But once
more her life was preserved.
On many other occasions
the Queen has been in great
danger, such as when, in Aug
ust, 1851, her Majesty was in
a railway accident, end when,
soon after her accession, the
horses attached to her carriage
bolted. On each of these oc-
casions the Queens selfpos-
session has been remarkable.
Goodness and presence of
mind have been characteristic

The Closing of the Hope.

The Progress. CT Basin, Mont, fur
niSheS the following concerning the
closing down of the Hope mine: Tues
day morning Eugene Braden who
holds in trust a $125,000 mortgage en-
the Hope mine for Senator Carter
came down from Helena and paid the
pumpgnen and engineers for eight days
work, and the men refused to work
any longer unless all back wages were
paid up in full. This the company was
net in a financial condition TO do. and
the men quit work, allowing the mine
to fill with water. When l.. G. Pitner.
president of the company, returned
from Salt Lake last Sunday it is under
stood he desired to recreanize the
company, saying that if he could get
matters in the right shape he would be
able TO raise all the money necessary
to pay off the present Indebtedness and
to resume operations on the property.
But to this the Helena people refused
to give their consent. The closing of
this mine is the outcome of a piece of
mighty bad management. The Hope
mine is, as everybody knows, a low
grade property, but the lead is large
and the ore carries sufficient values to
make it good dividend paving prop
osition, as has been shown by its pas
record. The new. company, which was
under the management of P. A. H.
Franklin, of Utah, attempted to do. too
much with the amount of capital they
had to work on, and bankrupted them
selves before they could get the mine
in shape to productivity spent large
sums of money in I developing other
to put the Hope on its feet-that is the
reason of the failure. It is said that
the old company will soon take hold
Of the mine and work IL again.

mine, and the company has from eight
TO ten teams, and about 80 more men.
Six men are employed timbering in
the mine all the time, while others are
engaged in preparing the timbers on
the outside. The rules of the company
require that miners must leave any
part of the mine as soon as they think
ii dangerous. and work elsewhere until
it is made safe by the timbermen To-
day it is claimed by men of experience
that the mine is one of the best
timbered in this part of the country.
In view of this fact it is strange that
the recent suit brought by Bryan
should have gone against the company
as il certainly does all it can to pro-
vide for the safety of the men, and so
well has it succeeded that the Mercur

Tie works were shut down today,
pending the completion of the i'm
provements at the mill, and it will be
about four days before work is again

tons per day, but the addition of half
a dozen men at the mine will be suf-
hcient for the increased business

| the Barnum show, which for many

large enough, although it holds $4,000

1t is out Of the question to enumsr-
ate even minor portion of the inter
esting numbers. but some of the very
best people are deserving of special
mention, while every member of the
company, upon his or her merit. would
be entitled to it. In the matter OF bare
back riders, the work of William De-

pion of the world, there is such dash
and vim that he appears TO perform

perfect His close rivals for honors
are the splendid equeStrians, William
Cook, champion of England; Senior
Jose Domingo, champion of Mexico,
and Cecil Lowlande, champion of
Spain, While the American boy, Dan
Leon, gives them all a good pace to
beat.
No less than nine principal bareback
riders are seen with this show, and
the three premiere equestriennes, Elena

to excel all other women riders in the
