MRS. LUCILLE LANE SHOT.
A Pistol Inflicts Wound From Which

Washington, Jan. 17.-Mrs. Lucille
Blaokburn Lame, youngest daughter of
ex Senator Black burn. of Kentucky, scci-
IDENTIFY shot herself in her apartments at
the WELLINGTON Hotel last night about
midnight, just as she was preparing for
he'd. The wound is IN the left breast, al
most over the heart
At the time of the accident Mrs. Lane
was in the bedroom. standing before the
dressing case. Mr.. Lane was in the par
lor reading Between the two rooms IL
the nursery, En- which their little daugh-
ter, Teresa, and her nurse was sleeping.
Suddenly there was a sharp report, and
Mr.. Lane.found his wife lying on the
floor with the blood gushing from her
breast. He Immediately summoned Sen
ator Black burn, and Drs. Sewers and j.
Ford Thompson were called In.
Ths physicians .sheld a consultation at
night and decided there WAS no inter nal
hemorrhage. and that Mrs. Lane WAS
not in any immediate danger. She is
resting easily, and the chances for her re-
covery are considered fair.
Mrs Lane was not conscious until This
afternoon, aud could not tell how the &C
cident happened. 1t seems, however, that
she had been IN the habit Of keeping in
the dressing case u small revolver, which
had been presented to her by her father
wears ago on account of her fon6ness for
shooting. Last night, in putting away
some laces, she had occasion to open the
drawer where the pist oil was kept. 1t is
supposed that she inadvertently let the
pistol fall on the top of the dressing case
and it exploded.

strengthening of my nerves to Paine's
celery com pound. Yours truly,


SILAS D. DRAKE.
Nothing demoralzes the health sooner
or more com pletelv than even the occa-
sional loss of sleep. To start new day
with the brain unrefreshed is like trying
to keep a worn out horse up to his work
with the whip instead of by feeding. The
incessant brain activity is as if the skull
were laid bare and the surface OF the
brain were struck lightly every few Sec
onds and without sign of "let up"
Thus sleeplessness imperceptibly, but
no less surely, 1estl oys the brain cells
that are the sources of mental power and
the health of every organ of the body.
Paine's celery compound gets the
nervous system out of this dangerous rut
of sleeplessness 1t supplies nourish-
ment to the nervous tissues faster than
they are worn out, and does not let the
nutrition of these delicate parts get low
enough to bring on insomnia.
One of the earliest evidences of the
final success of Paine's celery compound
in curing debility. nervousness, sleep
lessness and arrangements of liver ard
kidneys is the increased appetite. the
clearer skin, and that indescribabie pre-
cursor of health. feeling of ''well be
ing'' that takes the place of the tired,
languid, melancholy condition.

that his peace commission will soon be

Sagasta cabinet is said TO desire a

They Meet To-day.

- UTE will devote a good share Of
- its time to-day 10 local politics:
the democrats. the silver republI-
cans and the populists viii meet in
county conventions. This mornings
forecast from Butte, in regard To the
democrats. is that they are likely to
TAX an adjournment after disposing Of
the part of their work that relates to
the state convention to be held in Ana
conda mex Wednesday.
Tina is a matter Of expediency which
the delegates in the county convention
will deal with when they meet to-day.
The number Of candidates for a place on
the democratic county ticket I'm Silver
Bow is unusually large. As we under
stand il, a good many Of these candi-
dates prefer ~postponement Of action. on
the ground that the two or three days
that have interviewed since the prima-
ries have not permitted them TO can
vass as thoroughly as they wish to;
and hat is a point which, If true. may
have weight with to-day's convention.
Undoubtedly. the disposition among
the delegates will be to give every man
a fair show.
In other years the policy among demo-
Gratis often has been TO hold two con-
ventions in anticipation of the Novem-
Der e~lection-one in which matters re-
lating TO the state convention were
dealt with exclusively, and a second
convention for the purpose of dealing
with county matters and bringing the
county organization unde the platform
and the policy decreed by democracy
in the state. That plan has some adj
vantages; as has been said. it is a mat
ter for the delegates who meet to-day
TO settle.
Respecting platform utterances, the
Standard cannot presume to counsel the
members of to-day's democratic con-
vention in Butte. Among them differ
ences Of opinion manifestly prevail.
What this newspapers view is respect
ing the political policy that seems best
for Montana, every reader knows: We
suppose the delegates in the convention
are not at all in the dark on that score.
II appears 10 be a widely-entertained
opinion among the delegates hat the

~ its merits. the prize system ope-
~ rative in navy service is wrong:
on principle IL is bad. To this
is to be added the fact that, in it's prac-
teal operation. the system works with
gross unfairness. Dewey was in the
thick Of the fight at Manila. Those who
know how the prize system works and
who have figured up the booty result
ing from our recent successes say that
he will have about So 900 coming. Samp-
son, at Santiago. was about twelve miles
away when the fight began. The law
relating to the division of prize money
is that all vessels in a victorious fleet
within signal distance of a naval battle
shall come in for their share Of prize
money. At the beginning of the battle
and almost until it's close, Sampson was
not within signaling distance. Just
about the when the last Of
Cervera's ships was going to pieces. he
arrived within five miles, or a little less,
Of the fighting. He was on board his
fiagship-it did not fire a shot. But
those who mark 800 0 as Dewey's purse
say that Sampson will get a little more
or less than $40. 900. Thus the system
itself is bad and the manner of it's prac-
teal operation grossly wrong.

of fusion, ought to be left TO the state
convention. II that view controls to-
day. 1t will at least result that the
strong delegation to the state V
tion-the most numerous sent from n
county in the state-will be absolutely
free to take such a course in the state
convention as shall be found to be best.
after the matter has been thoroughly
discussed among democrats representa-
tive of the entire state.
In the mass of political talk afioat in
Butte last night. the story became cur
rent that some of the men whose sympa-
thies run with the side that was so
seriously defeated in the recent demo-
critic primaries. were planning some
sort of a coup for to-day. In politics
almost anything is liable to happen; no
man in Butte was willing to say, last
night, that he was tsfing part in any
of the schemes hat were spread in
street rumors.

SATURDAY. SEPT. II, 1898.
Uniucky But Foolish.

- USTRIA'S venerable emperor is
n not far out of the waJ when h
describes himself as Francis
Joseph the Unlucky." The i'll winds
seem to blow his way persistently and
always without any good for him. His
domestic affairs are a continued story
of tragedy and disaster and sorrow.
Macmillan. the man who posed for a
time as the emperor Of Mexico and who
paid with his life the penalty for his
ambitious scheme. was the favorite
brother of Francis Joseph. Carlotta
the wife of Macmillan. has spent most
IF her days under the horrors Of insan-
ity. The crown prince, Rudolph, the
emperor's only son. ended a reckless
career with suicide as the direct sequel
Of conduct too shameful to recite. One
of the victims of the memorable charity
bazaar fire in Paris was the Duchess
d'AIencon. sister of the empress; and
now the assassination OF the empress
herself.
To say nothing of the intrigue and
the domestic unkindness. the inidelity
and the m~isbehavior which have con-
tributed to make life trouhlous at
Francis Joseph's court-matters for
which the blame rests directly on this
emperor; they ave contributed their
generous share toward making good his
assertion that he is Francis Joseph
the Unlucky": they also At to him the
title of Francis Joseph the Foolish"
This old scion of the Hapsburg line
realizes that, If the truth be told, he is
reaping the whirlwind-to him is due
the fact thai his empress became an ali.
sentee from Vienna and thus was made
the easy mark for an assassin. This
latest affection cannot with Justice be
called a ease of i'll luck-it is more like
retribution.

That Philippine Rebel.

n FTER all. on what ground can
n the people of the United states
base a warrantahle protest
against the action Aguinaldo is taking?
Since the restoration of the cable serv-
ice we get prompt information In this
country respecting what is going on in
the Philippines. and IL the reports are
true. as they seem to be. the rebel chief
is trying by methods that are peace
full to arouse his countrymen to efforts
for independence; IL was to achieve this
that these rebels took up arms. n
that they did before the world had any
reason to believe that the United States
would get into hostilities with Spain.
OF course, If Aguinaldo picks a quar-
rel with our forces at Manila. that's
different; Dewey will take care of that
part Of It. But. somehow, a part of the
press Of the United States hammers
away at this Philippine rebel, as IL he
we're accountable to us for incidents in
his conduct with which. II you think Of
IL for a moment. this country has moth
ing whatever To do. This press EXPIRES
sion in our own country seems to pro-
coed on the assumption that our bust
ness Is 10 coerce the fifteen millions,
more or less, Of natives IN the Philip
pine islands. and that when Aguinaldo,
meeting his c"ountrymen In peaceful as
sembly. urges them to be for independ-
ence. he is melting sedition against the
United States. What warrant is there
for that assumption?
A%guinaldo may be as bad as he Is
! painted-a rascal. a disturber, a venal
demaEogue. a ridiculous military up
start and all that; but how is that our
AFFAIR. SO long as we get of Philippine
! soil what the peace commission demands
and hold 1t in peaceful possession? The
| disposition in our country appears to be
to hold the rebel chief to answer for
things respecting which he is not in any
way accountable 10 the people and the
| government of the United states.

witness sworn. Smith said that there
was nothing particularly wrong with
Harding except that he acted in a pecu-
liar way. He seldom spoke to anybody
and seemed to keep to himself a good
deal. When he did talk. IL was al
ways about sailors and ships n the
sea. Harding evidently labored under
the delusion that he was a sailor.
Harding himself, when put on the
stand, aid that he had ono been con-
fined in an insane asylum in Illinois,
where he remained for eight or nine
months. He had been released as
cured.
Harding Is suffering from illness and
evidently has been for a long time. II
is this, no doubt, that causes his mind
to wander. At the conclusion of the
investigation, the commission decided
to send Harding e Warm Springs for
a while. in order that he might receive
proper treatment.

An Experiment..

r Up in Maine, in this years cam
paigning. they tried an expert
ment which probably had it's
prompting in things that have lately
been side remarks from the lips of
Speaker Reed. That gentleman nas
taken occasion TO refer to political
speechmaking in terms that were not
complimentary; his suggestion was that
there is altogether too much talking,
that the stump has seen its day, that
the spellbinder is a humbug and that
the campaign orator is too often a
nuisance.
Probably Mr.. Reeds talk had some
Trims TO do with this years new de-
parture in Maine. At any rate. what
ever the inspiration for 1t, the parties in
Maine ran their campaigns Of the year
with the stump orator omitted. There
were. to be sure, some club meetings
with home takers and a good deal of
letter writing and newspaper discussion
but the formal speaking i've was
omitted.
We do not know how the Maine re-
publicans are pleased with the expert
ment. Maine went republican, OF
course: that was one of the ~foregone
conclusions. But the democrats scored
decided ~gains-these are so marked as
to have started up a great deal of news
paper comment. n Mr.. Reed himself,
in his congressional district, ran thou
sands behind the vote he was expected
TO poll and which was everywhere as
sumed to be normally his.
1t is a good guess that the Maine re-
publicans will want to go back again
to campaign oratory and grand-rally
~speechmakiuE. And it isn't likely h a
the Maine experiment will very soon he
put to the test in other statcs-it doesn't
seem to work the way the Maine re-
pu%blicans thought II would.

TREASURES OF THE DEEP.
Attempt to Recover Pirates sunken
spoil.

'
An interesting effort is being made in
D%unworley BAY, on the Irish coast near
Cork, to recover a considerable amount
of treasure which there is good reason
to believe lies beneath it's waves. Ira
dition has long told fabulous tales of
armada g~alleons lost there. but the
more prosaic and reliable pages of the
history of Bandon tell of a sunken
pirate schooner and a vessel of name
and type unknown which ~foundered
there durin~ the reign of William and
Mary.
The existence of these two wrecks
was perfectly well known in the '40s-
when they were examined by one OF
the first professional divers who
worked on the Irish coast. Patrick Col
Inns, and the father of the diver who
is conducting the present ~endeavors.
The elder Collins worked in what is
now called the open dress. and ex-
perts in the progress of an exceedingly
useful but little understood craft know
that that was the invention, in 1919,
of Siebe. and consisted merely of a
helmet riveted to the upper part of a
protective and watertight garb which
did not extend below the waist. With
this primitive gear he was able to re-
cover some drinking vessels, ivory
tusks, beads of Egyptian origin and
coins of william and Mary, in addi-
ZION 10 several GUNS. Inc ulNtT was
told that according to local legend the
pirates had unk their treasure chests
dashed between two guns, rather than
allow it to be seized, but no signs Of
it were to be seen.
More than a month ago ]. Mulcahy
and T. r. Holland entered into nego-
tiations with a local salvage contractor
to make further researches, engaging
Collins. through whose fundamentally
chiefly the sunken llghtship Putin vas
raised last year. The result. so far.
has been that a dozen guns in re-
markable preservation, and apparently
about 200 years old, have been brought
to the surface, together with a gold
coin of william Ill. some more beads
and ivory. The examination Is. how
ever. going on, and, If necessary, the
bulls will be blown up with tonite or
dynamite cartridges.
These guns cannot. however, claim
to be the Oldest objects ever recovered
from the deep. w. A. German has
amassed an interesting collection of
relics of famous wrecks, and has in
this the wheel of a pulley block from
Henry Wis ship, the Mary Rose,
brought IN after 295 years INNER
sion. Some carpenters tools from an
armada hulk i'm Vigo bay there are
also, as well as several very ancient
coins and vessels, but perhaps no item
in the group has a greater interest
than an officers sword, recovered in
1890, from what remained after its ex-
plosion in action of L'Orient. the
French flagship. and which had there
fore been under water for ninety-two
years.
