A circus paid flying visit to small
English country town not long ago, and
the price of admission was sixpence, child
rem under 10 years of age half-price. It
was Edith's 10th birthday, and her broth
er Tom, aged 13, took her in the after
noon to see the show. Arrived at the
door, he put down ninepence, and asked
FOR twcsfront seats
'How old is the little girl p asked the
money y-taker, doubtfully.
"Well, replied Master Tom, this is
her 10th birthday, but she was not born
until rather late in the afternoon
The money-taker accepted the state
ment and handed him the tickets. But
it was close shave.

How TO AcT-If man cheats you,
cease to deal with him; if he is abusive,
quit his company; and if he ISLANDERS you,
take care to live so that nobody will be-
live him. No matter who he is, or how
he misuses you, the wisest way is to let
him alone; for there is nothing better than
this cool, calm and quiet way of dealing
with the wrongs we meet with. Lies I'm
needed will die; fires Unframed will burn
out, and quarrels neglected become as dull
as the all but extinct volcano.

no surprise that men of shrewdest judg-
ment, men whom age, knowledge and ex-
perience have made wise, men like Sena-
tor Edmunds and Bishop Potter, think and
declare that the price of our brand new
policy of manifest destiny may be too
great, may be more than the thing itself
is really worth

chairman Dingley is perfectly safe in de-
claring that the war taxes will not be repealed
for at least another year. In the first place,
Government expenses have been greatly in
creased by the with Spain, and they are
likely to remain heavy for an indefinite period.
In the next place, protective duties can no
longer be depended on 10 yield the revenue
they formerly did, for imports are declining.
In the third place, repeal of the war taxes
would cause another enormous deficit, and
thus drain away the gold reserve, as was the
case during the second Cleveland administra-
ton. Lastly, no one objects to the war

ALLEGED ICE COMBINE
Meeting Yesterday of the Great Falls
Company Directors.
No Proposition Received for the Com
troll of That COmpany-FOrmnl
Transfer of the Hysienic.

There have been no new developments in
the situation in regard to the ice companies
IN this city since the announcement made
a few days ago that the Hygienic Ice Com
pany had been purchased by the Knicker-
erbocker Ice Company. 1t was expected
that there would be some news of interest
the result of the meeting of the Great
Falls Ice Company which was held yester-
day afternoon.
The directors of this company do not find
1t necessary to come together often ,1uring
the year, and yesterdays session was the
first that has been held since the beginning
of the alleged efforts originating several
months ago to get control of the ice mar
ket in this city
Beyond declaring the usual dividend Of 6
per cent. it is said that the directors did
nothing of interest at this meeting. No
action was taken on any proposition from
the knickerbocker or any other company
for the purchase of a control of the cocl-
pany, for the reason that no such PROPOSE
ton has been received. On the contrary, 1t
is said that no offer of this kind, either
written or verbal, has as yet been made.
Mr.. BartIett's Experience.
The only reference to the matter was
made when the superintendent of the COM
pany, Mr.. John D. Bartlett, in response to
an inquiry as to whether he knew any
or are being made to gain a control of the
ice companies in this city. recounted the
result of visit made to New York, upon
invitation, to talk over the situation here,
when it seems the only proposition made
was one that related to the services of Mr..
Bartlett which the latter rejected.
AS far as can be ascertained no offer has
been made to the Independent Ice Company
to secure a control of that company nor
indeed to any other ice company in this
city.
Receiving the New Stock.
The stockholders of the Hygienic Ice
Company, who accepted an offer, as stated
in The Star, to sell their stock for S67.75
per share, taking in exchange half cash
and half in the preferred stock of the
kLickeI booker Con pany, are receiving the
certificates of the stock of the Knicker
booker Company.
These papers state that the par value Of
the stock is S1tO, and that the number of
shares is 100000. 1t is further stated that
q cumulative dividend of 6 per cent is paid.
The certificates are signed by George T.
Eaton president, and J. F. Spencer, treas
L;er. While the property of the Hygienic
Company has been formally turned over to
the new owners, there is no other change
in the business Mr.. Frank P. Davis con-
w Curridsl. the president of the Hyg;enic
Company, is the representative in this city
OF the Knickerbccker Company.
