in gold; and Ii is possible that the bill
may be farther modified before 1t shall
become law by eliminating the word
gold from the promise of the banks
guaranteed by the government TO re-
deem their notes in gold coin. A
largely increased volume of money will
bring temporary prosperity and will
prevent such an immediate reaction in
favor of bimetallism as would other
wise make IL a certainty in the cleo
tions of 1900. Those who desire the pas
sage of the Gage bill other than the
administration, are those who own to-
day more than three-quarters of the
property of the country, and it is not
to their interest to longer leave the
value of this property shrunken so that
it is worth but small fraction of the
value which ii had during the time the
people We're prosperous: and If pros
perity can be again brought about by
without the aid of bimetalism, they
are extremely anxious to accomplish it:

championship being won in the fast
time of 2:30 by j. T. Conway. who won
the first mile of the race on Monday

time, but the other contestants put up
an exciting race. Conway, lie Beau,

rapidly to the front, gaining a quarter
of a lap on his opponentin the first
round. lie Beau and Mcintyre were
skating abreast and Dickinson trailing.
For three laps more the same relative
positions were maintained by all the
contestants. and the contest between
lie Beau and Mcintyre during that
time was the best feature or the race.
Neither seemed TO be able TO gain on

thing like the histrionIc ability dis
played by Miss Waldorf last night. she
takes the part of Julia perfectly. In
the scenes of love. of mirth. of passion
and of despair, she is powerful, lovable,
or passionate, as the situation demands,
and through it all she is natural and
true to life. What more can one say of
or desire in an actress The Hunch-
back gives scope for her talents and
she knows how to take advantage OF her
opportunities. 1t is not likely that Miss
Waldorf will visit Great Falls soon
again. We imagine that when her tai
ents become better known in this coun-
try larger cities and larger audiences
will demand all her time. Those who
neglect seeing her now are undoubtedly
missing an opportunity.
The Bozeman Chronicle had the fol-
lowing:
Miss Coombs being indisposed. or,
as some assert, conspicuous by her in
visibility on this tour, The Hunchback,
in which Miss Janet Waldorf took the
beading role, was put on Friday night.
Ut was the general opinion of those
who went to see an artistic perform
ance with real acting by people of wide
reputation, that If Miss Coombs is bet
ter than Miss Waldorf, she is indeed a
star"
1t would appear from these notices
that Miss Coombs has not been playing
for some time, but that the talented
Miss Waldorf is eminently capable of
carrying the company through. The
two stars alternated in taking leading
roles in different plays. and as only one
was conspicuous in each performance,
the people will lost nothing by seeing
more of Miss Waldorf and nothing of
Miss Coombs. 1t is said that Miss
Coombs has been suffering from throat

MR.. WOLCOTT'S SINCERITY
t. G. Merrill Inclined to Have
Some Doubts About Tt.
AS TO THE GAGE BILL
Likely to Pass With Some Notifications
in Difference to Wolcott and the
Other HaIf-and-Half Men
iii the Senate.

Hon. Thomas c. Merrill has grave
doubts about the sincerity of United
states Senator Wolcotts convictions
with regard to bimetallism. He does
not exactly say as much. but from his
remarks on the subject il is evident
that this is his private opinion. 1t IS
also his opinion that the monetary bill
prepared by Secretary Gage Will be
considerably changed before it is sub
mitted to congress. or by amendation
thereafter in Difference 10 Senator Vol
colt and certain other himetallists OF

colt in particular. viii receive the cred

will then support the bill.
Mr.. Merrill IS the general treasurer
of the American Bimetallic union. as
is pretty generally known TO about
every citizen of Montana. Mr.. Merrill
is in Butte for a few days and yester-
day, during a conversation with a

present differences and kindred topics,
Mr.. Merrill said:
Il would rather place implicit con-
fidence in the earnest loyalty to hi
metallsm of such men as Senator Tel
Ter, than / would in one who, If he Is
loyal to bimetallism. is very recent
convert. In my opinion, the loyal
friends of bimetallism are those who
have. during the past year, been giving
their most earnest efforts to bring
about bmetallism by the only means
through which we hope to accomplish
it, lis it thoroughly exemplified by the
result of the work of the recent com
mission of which Senator Wolcett was
at the head. and which result has been
just as evident to the true workers in
the cause for the past three years as
it is to-day, since the failure of Nc
