Him to the Hospital

Him to the Hospital.
David Miller. until recently an EN-
ploye of Winter, Parsons & Boomer
at the Big Hole dam, died very sud-
denly at the county Jail yesterday
about noon, presumably of pneumonia.
Miller became sick while working at
Big Hole and a couple of days ago
started for Butte for medical attention.
He got as far as Silver Bow Junction,
but could not go farther and after stay
ing at the Gavin house for two days.
the proprietor, Deputy Sheriff Ed
Gavin, brought him to Butte. Miller
was growing worse all the time and Mr..
Gavin concluded it was best to take
him to the county auditor and secure
his admission to the county hospi-
tai
When Deputy Sheriff Gavin reached
the county building yesterday Auditor
Davies sent for the county hospital am
bulance and had the sick man put TO
bed in the witnesses department of the
JAIL pending the arrival of the wagon.
He then summoned the county ply
stefan. who pronounced Miller very
sick man and gave him medicine for
temporary relief. But he continued to
sink and died few minutes before Il
o'clock, just as the ambulance drove
up to take him to the hospital. Coru-
ner Tremblay was notified and ordered
the remains sent to Tachells undertake
ing rooms. where an inquest will be
held this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Miller was man between As and 80
years old and was of medium height
and build. The only thing found in his
pockets was $500 in money. He wa.
too sick to tell his questioners any
thing except his name and that he had
no home. He had no papers, nothing
relating to his family or friends.

Mr.. Mitchell will start putting in a

Standard reporter last evening that he
had intended to put I'm a consumer any
way, so as to make a practical test,
but he had hoped first to get the in
dorsement of the committee. so that
the council might then see fit to bear
the expense of the test
Il am at considerable expense in
coming here" said Mr.. Mitchell. and
! have already been at the hotel 10
days. 1t will cost all told about 5000
TO put in the consumer and work it.

bear that expense. However. a num-
Der of business men and workingmen
have told me that they would subscribe
toward putting in the consumer. as
they don't think / ought to bear all the
expense. ! wish the people who are
willing to help bear the expense would
leave their subscriptions with the
Standard or the Miner. / had hoped
that the council would appropriate
enough to bear the expense. ! have
some money, but ] cannot well afford
TO bear this expense. / will. however,
start putting up the consumer in the
morning and trust to the people to see
me through
Mr.. Mitchell has permission from
laundry in the southern part of the citv
to put up a consumer there. He will
make a test on the black smoke and
then will put refined sulphur into the
furnace. so as to show that he can get
rid of the sulphur smoke. Tt will not
take long to get the apparatus up. and
the test will be made before the coun-
ell meets again. Mayor Harrington
said yesterday that the council would
doubtless follow the recommendation
of the smoke committee. which is COM
posed of practical men. in whose iudg-
ment the entire community will have
confidence.

Kentucky and Kearsarge Launched
at Newport News.
GOV. BRADLEY SPEAKS FOR CUBA
Description Of the Two Splendid
New Battle Ships.
N OV Ell IN ESIG N

NEWPORT NEWS, March o4.-The
Kearsarge. the first great battle ship ever
launched from a private yard in the south,
kissed the waves in the James river at
1902 O'Clock this morning at the immense
plant of the Newport News Shipbuilding
and Dry Dock Company, and at II :35
O'Clock, little more than an hour later,
the Kentucky, her sister ship, followed.
Long before the hour announced for the
ceremony fully $4,000 people were pushing
and jostling around the powerful steel hull
of No. Is, as. the Kearsarge was known in
the ship yard. each trying to get the best
view cbtainablc of the ceremony about to
take place
The Ceremonies.
Just before the preliminary preparations
were finished the christening party arrived
and was conducted through the vast throng
to the gaily decorated stage at the bow
of the kearsarge.
The party was composed of Mr.. Calvin B.
Orcutt, president of the Newport News
Shipbuilding Company; Mrs. Herbert
Winslow. sponsor for the Kearsarge and
her maid of honor, Miss Margaret Fast
man of Washington; Miss Christie Brad
ley, sponsor for the kentucky, and her
aids Of honor Misses Mary E. Gatewood,
Lillian Siege, Sallie Bronston, Abbie Bal
lard and Alice Castieman, all of the blue
grass state; Miss Anna Webb of Padu cah,
KY; Mrs. William .. Bradley mother of
the fair sponsor: Gov. Bradley of Kentucky
and staff; Gov. Tyler of Virginia and staff
and a number of state officials of Kentucky
and Lieut.. Com. Herbert Winslow, U. S. N,
the only surviving son of the captain who
commanded the famous old Kearsarge in
the fight with the Alabama: members of
the House and Senate committee on naval
affairs and other distinguished visitors
from Washington.
All preparations being arranged and the
fair sponsor of the kearSarge in her sta
ton saw severed the sole pieces that
held the Kearsarge in place, and with
splendid pull she started ON her journey to
the water AS it started Mrs. Winslow
broke the bottle of champagne over its
bows. and exclaimed clearly and distinctly:
Il christen thee Kearsarge."
Enthusiastic Cheering.
AS the vessel glided smoothly into the
river it seemed if bedlam had broken
loose. Cheer after cheer went up from the
crowd, and the shrill whistles of the steam
ers in the harbor welcomed the new naval
champion to it's natural element. The
cruiser Brooklyn and monitor Puritan,
which were lying out in the stream, were
the representatives Of the navy present
The Kentucky's Debut.
The christening party then proceeded to
the bow of the Kentucky, which vessel
was launched at II 80 am. This ceremony
was an exact counterpart of the former,
except that when the critical moment ar
rived Miss Christine Bradley broke L cut
glass bottle of water from the spring on
the old Lincoln farm, and said, Il christen
thee Kentucky"
Then, as the vessel started down the
ways several bottles of old bourbon whls-
ky were hurled against her sides by Ken
tuckians who were opposed to the water
