IIGHLana y SIleep. WOOL ana Cattle
The extent to which Montana has
been benefited by the Dingley tariff is
shown in the annual report of the state
commissioner Of labor, agriculture and
industry. For the year 1897 there were
owned in Montana 3,095, 1872 sheep, with
a wool production of "a, 012, 49S pounds.
The average selling price for the year
was lbs cents per pound. against
values of the clips for the two years
were. respectively, s2,7S0,647 and ST.
745.402, a gain of more than $1,000, 900
in favor Of tire clip of 1891.
In the abstract of the commissioners
report which has reached us no men
ton is made OF the comparative mar
ket values of the sheep for the two
years. but it is safe TO conclude that
Montana is no exception TO the general
rule of heavy increase in sheep values
as the result Of the Dinglcy tariff, and
that at the rate of an increase of 81
per head the sheep owners Of that state
are more than $3,000,900 richer than
they were a year ago.
Cattle in Montana have advanced in
value 81 a head, and the shipments for
1897 amounted to $7,102, 994. against
$6.430.5l2 in 1896.
It is, therefore. evident that in the

 The vaudeville show is going with great success.

BEAUTIFUL NEW WINDOW.
Just Completed at Christ Church

Just Completed at Christ Church.
 A beautiful new window has just been placed in Christ church, thanks to the generosity of Mrs. Lucy Board man, the well known public benefactor The new window is in the last end of the building at the rear of the seats facing the altar.
 In the center of the window is the figure of the Christ child in wonder full radiance, rays of yellow and white light scintillating from the figure On either side are the shepherds kneeling in devotion, and back of them is Jo- seph. Behind the child is the blessed Virgin, clad in blue. Behind this cen tral figure is the city of Jerusalem, with the green fields sloping up to the sky.
 The northern section is the annuncia- tion. Here are the angels in the ex- treme left with the virgin in the cen- ter. Isaiah and Jeremiah are in the lower part. The southern section shows the presentation in the temple, depicting the Virgin Mary and Joseph presenting the Christ, with Simeon and the prophecies.
 The whole picture is admirably done, and is one of the finest windows in the city.

A large house greeted the opening performance of Charles Hoyt's new comedy "A Day and A Night" at the Hyperion last night, and from every point of view the production was emil nently successful as a first night Of course there are some slight wrinkles which may be smoothed out after be- ing were fitted over the dog as a shap- CT, but taken all in all there is little to be done, and MT. Hoyt may con- gratlate himself on having launched another of his highly successful come dies, this last of which is by no means behind the former ones in point of merit. He may also congratulate him. self on having secured a cast which is really a sine quo non of the piece, a cast which handles easily and su- perbly every feature.
 The plot tells of an old naval off, cer who, returning from a long cruise on the Asiatic coast, find the baby boy whom he had left grown to be man. He is not apparently of the sort the old sailor fancies, being given to sew ing, church fairs and other amuse- ments, without much knowledge of the world. The young man finally goes to New York to select singers for church choir and by an arrangement made by the father with theatrical manager, the young fellow is treated to series of situations and experiences which form the material of all the fun which follows.
 William Devere, as 'Iyon Hart" the old sailor father, handles to perfection the role of the bluff old commodore. And by the way, the role hardly seems like acting, it is carried so naturally; it is in fact just the role for which MT Deveres years of experience in the great wild southwest, among rough bluff characters, have particularly fit ted him.
 Otis Harlan takes the part of the sewing circle son of the old seaman, who goes to New York to select a church choir. It is needless to say that Harlan puts into his part all that is possible, He infuses into it an in

imitable life and spirit that is his and his alone. He carries the house by storm and scarce a person in the au- dience but was convulsed last night by his antics. Of the rest of the cast too much cannot be said. To say which were the best is difficult, as all were good. By the appended cast it will be seen that MT. Hoyt, as usual, in the name of the character, describes in a measure the individuals characteris- tics, and what is expected of him. The piece will be repeated tonight and another packed house is assured.

Connecticut Training School for Nurses
 Has Prepared Exhibit.
 The Connecticut Training School for Nuses has prepared an exhibit to show at the health exposition which opens in New York next week. The exhibit is a large one and will probably be one of the most interesting that will be seen. It has been collected by Mrs. Francis Bacon, of this city, and consists of in- struments and apparatus both ancient and modern.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1898-04-19

Mrs. Bacon was an army nurse, and some of the articles to be shown in the training school exhibit are those used in war time.
 It was intended to include in the ex- hibit an ancient operating table which was once in use in the New Haven hospital, but because the table cannot be moved away conveniently it has been decided not to send it to the ex- position. The health exhibit will open on April 25, and will continue for sev- eral days.
