TREACHEROUS BLOW
 SUNK THE MAINE.
Is the Opinion of Charles H. Cramp, Americas Vet
 eran ShipbuiIder.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Washington, Feb. 20-Charles H. Cramp, the noted ship builder. Is of the opinion that Spanish treachery is at the bottom of the Maine disaster.
 If the court of inquiry that is investi- gating the loss of the Maine reports that it was due to an accident from within, the verdict will be rejected by the American people and will make this country the laughing stock of the world" said MT. Cramp to a naval officer yesterday.
 Although the European governments have hastened to express their sympathy with us over the loss of the Maine, every naval officer over there-Russians, Ger mans, French, Italians, Austrians and all confidently believe that the Maine was destroyed by treacherous blow from without and that the Spaniards in Ha- vana had hand in it. The European naval officers regard the blowing up of the Maine as the commencement of warfare under the circumstances. All the private advices received in Europe from this coun- try are to the effect that we are anticipat- ing a fight with Spain over Cuba and when we sent. the Maine to Havana on an al- legged friendly visit they believed, as did also the Spanish, that the Maine was there ready for active work when the occasion arose. It would take but few minutes to transform a friendly vessel into a war ship and only a few seconds more would be required to fire the first gun at Moro Castle. The Europeans also know that this country and Spain have never been boon companions since the Virginius af- fair, and they recall vividly how the Span- ish cruiser Arapelles, during the excite ment over that affair, was entrapped while in the harbor of New York in dry dock by the sinking of a coal barge so that she could not get out until we were willing. Although this country claimed that the barge was sunk by accident, the Euro peans did not believe it. They know as well as do we that a certain naval officer of this country brought about the so- called accident Under the circumstances the Europeans concede that we did right to sink that coal barge and under the pres ent circumstances they look upon the de- struetion of the Maine as the first blow in the war that is certain to follow be- tween Spain and the United States over Cuba.
 This statement reveals plainly that the veteran ship builder shares with the Age Herald and the American people the be- lief that the Maine was sunk through treachery. MT. Cramp has been here for nearly a week comforting with the navy officials and with the senators and repre- sentatives regarding naval matters.

 New York, Feb. 20-In addition to numor- ous preparations for war by regular army forces at different military posts all over the country. private citizens everywhere have also signIned their willingness and readiness to go to the front to uphold their country's honor and avenge the slaughter of the martyred heroes Of the Maine.
 '.In my travel through the south since the Maine disaster" said Chairman Elliott Danforth, of the democratic state commit tee, today, 'it becomes apparent to me that the former confederates are only too anxious to march shoulder to shoulder with the wearers of the blue should we have to go to war with Spain. The resentment against Spain is intense.
 "A governor of a certain state with whom I dined declared to me vehemently: would sooner trust an Indian than Span- iard.' If it is proved that Spain is respon- sible fer this, you will find me and every other southern governor at the head of our troops to avenge the outrage. There Is no north and no south this time.'"

ANACONDA NEWS.
IN COMPLETE CONTROL
Montana Union in the Hands of
the Northern Pacific.
THE REPORT is CONFIRMED
General Manager Burns Returns From
the Sale in New York-An Inde-
pendent Organization Will
Be Maintained.

w. II. Burns, general manager of the
Montana Union, returned from the East
Monday evening. He confirms in full
the report published in the Standard sew
eral weeks ago that the Northern Pa
cific had acquired complete control OF
the Montana Union and that in the fu-
ture. while it will maintain an inde-
pendent organization. will be operated
in the interests of the Northern Pacific.
President c. S. Mellen of the Northern
Pacific, who has also been elected pres
ident of the Montana Union, will be in
Butte with Vice President Daniel La
mont within week to attend to local
matters concerning the transfer of the
property. The new owners went into
possession of the road Immediately after
the meeting in New York, on the 18th
of this month. Mr.. Burns was called
there to attend the meeting, everything
for the transfer having been previously
arranged. Prior to the sale, the North
ern Pacific owned 4712 per cent. of the
stock, the Union Pacific 471a per cent,
and five shares stood in the name of Mr..
Burns.
The Northern Pacific was represented
at the meeting by C. s. Mellen, Daniel
S. Lamont and j. ". kendrick, and the
Union Pacific by S. III. III. Clark, Oliver
w. Mink and L. Ellery Anderson. In
accordance with the programme, the
Union Pacific directors resigned. and in
their place were elected K. ID. Adams,
Mr.. Carson and Mr. FoTsythe, represan-
tatives of the Northern Pacific interests.
The basis upon which the sale was made
or the consideration paid is not given
out.
Mr.. Burns was reapponted general
manager of the road by the directors
and, generally, there will be no change
in the operation of the road or in the
personnel of the officers or employees. 1t
is likely. however, that the local freight
offices will be consolidated in Butte, but
no change viii be made in the uptown
office. These matters, however will be
decided upon when Mr.. Mellen and Mr..
Lamont arrive.

possible. Her husband bought her an
expense book and told her how to keep

housewife that she was.
One evening the young husband asked
TO see the book. His wife beamed with

gases in the stomach; he had pains like
rheumatism in the back, shoulder blades
and limbs, fuilness and distress after
eating. poor appetite and loss of flesh,
the heart became affected, causing pal
pitation and sleeplessneSs at night.

blood remedies, but TO no purpose. AS
an experiment ! finally bought a fifty
cent package of Staurt's Dyspepsia
Tablets at a drug store and gave them
to him. Almost immediate relief was
given and after he had used four boxes
he was to all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
water risings, no bloating after meals.
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between 10 and L pounds in
weight of solid, healthy flesh.

Great Falls is all right. There has
been quite a pereeptible increase in busi-
ness activity there during the last three
months, in spite of the fact that Janu-
ary and February are usually the dull
est months in the year. Great Falls has
not been booming for the last few years
but every year has noticed a healthy
growth in population and material pros
perity. The recent school census shows
q considerable gain in numbers and
this is more significant from the fact
that families in the last year or two

Evangelist Weber Gives His First Ar
Sermon to Crowded Church.
The capacity of the NJ Il. church was
taxed to its utmost last night to witness
the first of the art sermons of Mr.
Weber. When the lights We're turned
off and the powerful stereopticon was
ready for work, Rev. G.. W. Healy ope-
iating the instrument. while the evange-
list stood at the canvas, the largest
number of faces ever seen in the Metho-
dist church gazed in eager expectation.
What followed is most difficult to de-
scribe. 1t was magnificent display of
art, reproduced from the greatest mas
ters of the world. 1t surpassed the
most sanguine expectations The most
delicate tints of the old artists were
clearly made manifest.
One Of the most striking productions
Of the evening was the world renowned
painting by Raphael called "The Ma
donna of the Choir" This was certainly
great surprise to everybody. The
Annunciation to Virgin by another
World-reGoWned artist. was equally
good. In fact. the whole series of pic
lures was a surprise and pleasure to
all present Before beginning his SER
mon Mr.. Weber requested all the ladies
10 remove their hats.
Tonight the evangelist will give an
other one of his splendid sermons, illus
trated in manner equally as magni-
fieent as the pictures of last night While
no charge is made at the door and every
body is cordially welcomed, it may be
well for the public to remember that

ENGLISH AND FRENCH GIRLS.
A Contrast to the Disadvantage of the
Former.

Sarah Grand in the Independent.
On returning TO England after a pro-
longed absence, one Is painfully struck
by the fact that there Is one thing in
which the modern English girl, with all
her advantages, tends to be deficient
and that is charm of manner The boy
remains much the same, but the girl
has lost a good deal of the natural
dainty diffidence of youth: she thinks
too much of herself. too little of other
people: and that this should be the case
is anything but a credit to her. In re-
turn for all that society comedies to her
to-day in the way of education, physi-
cal training and independence, she
should at least show desire to please.
She has a great objection to disagree
able people, yet she takes no trouble to
make herself agreeable. When she Is
out of temper she does not conceal the
fact. In her home life she is apt to be
selfish, and in society she Is only genial
when ii suits herself. She walks with a
stride. she elbows people about in a
crowd. she asserts herself on all occa-
sions, and there Is a conceited I'm as
good as you are sort of air about her
a want of becoming Difference to people
older than herself, which Is peculiarly
unloyely. not to say offensive. and
