warm feeling are one and the same.
But the movement has been silently
going on, and reasons which did not
appear were working a change.
No one thought, a year ago, of sug-
costing the philippine" reason in the
matter of annexation. 1t has been,
however. not so much a reason as an
object lesson. 1t illustrates with re-
markabIe force the extent to which
men are influenced by object lessons,
and not by reasons, Just as the cholera
epidemic of 1895 forced upon US decided
action.
Immediate annexation may now turn
on the simple question of peace or
war The permanent occupation of
the Philippines, or the continuance of
the war will probably secure immediate
annexation. There seems to be no
way of escaping from this conclusion.
Evidently Speaker Reed appreciates it
however much he may dislike it.
The danger of the postponement Of
annexation lies in a sudden peace,
which may occur at any moment.
Powerful influences are at work in
Europe to compel the Spaniards to
abandon Cuba at once. They may do
so, however improbable it appears to
us.
If within a few days, Cuba should be
abandoned, in all probability Manila
would be abandoned by the United
States, Admiral Dewey does not hold
an acre of land in the Philippines. He
simply holds the harbor and nothing
more. Should he be recalled, and the
Spaniards remain in possession, it will
not aid annexation, and may delay it,
though not permanently.
The restoration of peace within
few days will, therefore, be a matter
of great Importance to us, affecting
only the question of immediate an
nexation.

Grewsome Living Pictures.

A machine has been devised for the
taking and exhibiting of living pictures
which is SO compact in its construction
that these pictures may be taken al
most as readily as any snap shot. and
when developed and printed may be
shown with just as much convenience.
Any room will answer the purpose with
out any special arrangements for ex-
hibition. This is the patent of 5. Lu-
bin of Philadelphia. and he is at pres
ent making arrangements to place one
of these instruments in the operating
room of one of the hospitals of that
city, with a view of obtaining a lasting
record of every detail of an important
operation, which will take place in the
course Of few weeks. This will be the
first time that such practical use has
been made of this instrument. The film
will be many miles long and If the oper-
alton is successful. the record will he
sent to London. where 1t will be repeat
ed, the physicians there having for their
guide the pictures, with which they
have been made thoroughly acquainted
beforehand.
BY this means the English doctors
will be enabled to acquaint themselves
with the methods and technique of
celebrated Philadelphia sayant, who has
achieved a worldwide reputation as
specialist. They will have also for their
guide a written account of the opera
equipped for the work as If they had
been present at the original opera
ton in that city, thereby saving the
time and expense of a trip across the
ocean.
Because of the extreme portability Of
the machine it can likewise be carried
into a house and a living picture Sc
cured Of ones relatives. The loving
care and affection of mothers tender
attention to her offspring or the scene
of death chamber can be reproduced
with absolute realism in after years
Many other household scenes could be
preserved and shown at WILL being re-
produced with fidelity that could not
be equaled by any portrait, no matter
what might be its cost or who the artist
might be.
Mr. Lubin has recently taken a set
of these pictures for a New York mill
lionaire. who now has a picture of each
member of his family, showing them
just as they are to be seen every day
moving around the house. The pictures
are taken and shown by electricity, sup
piled by batteries. A recent improve
ment on the cineograph has been the
combination of a stereopticon with
machine for showing the living pictures.
This is great contriyance when used
for amusement hall purposes, as the
performance can be made continuous
without the break that has heretofore
been necessary while the films are being
changed

PAID HIS GAG olToRs IN FULL.
Remarkable Incident of Commercial In
tegrity in Massachusetts.

case of rather remarkable CONNER
cial honesty has just come 10 light. In
1875 one Of Springfield's well-known
shoe dealers found himself so embar-
rassed by depreciation in value of stock
and the difficulty in collecting accounts
that he failed and made a compromise
with his creditors of so cents on the dol
lar. After % years the merchant, now
considerably over 10 years old. has set
tied all these old claims in full. pay
ing the balance unpaid at that time,
amounting to several thousand dol
lars
There was no claim on him other than
that of his conscience. All his creditors
had signed paper acknowledging their
satisfaction and, in fact. a large num-
ber of the original papers had been de-
stroyed, so that the merchant had to
settle in accordance with the figures
he had in his possession, paying over
the money in some cases to heirs or to
surviving partners. who knew nothing
or had nothing to show of the original
transaction. The conscientious old shoe
dealer Is very anxious not to have his
name appear-his act would lose Its
merit through advertising. he says. A
good deal of the money that he has thus
paid back has been pounded out on the
shOemakers bench.

EVIDENCE OF GAMBLING
The Police Arrest Participants in
a Gard Game in a Saloon.
FIVE MEN UNDER BONDS
1t Is the Belief of the Officers That the
Players Had at Stake a Few or
More Dollars-A Warning
Had Been Issued.

The shameful tragedy in Butte in
which Bob Shadwell murdered O'Con-
nor over a game of cards in a back
room of saloon. has had the effect of
setting in motion more machinery of
the police force in this city. Last Fri
day the police of this city went to every
saloon where they believed that gam
bling was being carried on and notified
the proprietors to not allow any more
gambling in their saloons. 1t Is the
general opinion, shared by the police,
that short card games are being
played here and for money stakes. The
system is to buy checks, conceal the
money somewhere, and do business in
the old way, keeping shady the amount
of stakes.
Early yesterday morning the night
force kept an eye on the back room of
the St Lawrence saloon on East Park
avenue. Officer BosanitZ was detailed
to watch the place. About 2 o'clock he
informed Night Chief 0'Brien that a
game was going on there and that there
was evidence of money being at stake.
Soon afterwards O'Brien and the rest
Of the force walked into back room of
the saloon and arrested five men who
We're, the police say, playing poker. The

The charge of gambling is placed
against them on the police court docket.

Edgar III. Hoibrook's Miraculous Escape
in New York City.

Edgar III. Hoibrooks Miraculous Escape
in New York City.
On Saturday last Edgar H. Holbrook
n representative of the New York Life
Insurance company, fell SOME six stories
down a stair well in the company's
building in New York. The New York
Journal of Sunday contains an account
of the accident, from which a small ex-
tract has been taken, and Is printed be-
low. Holbrook is weIl known in this
city and in other cities of Montana. Last
summer he spent many months in Ana
conda. He is a brother-in-law of w. L.
Reynolds, who was formerly head
cashier of the Montana Meat company
Of this city.
OF the accident, the Journal says:
Yesterday, shortly before noon, while
waiting for one of his superors, he seat
ed himself on the railing of the stairway
at the Elm street end of the building.
This stairway extends the whole height
of the building. The railing is less than
three feet high. Some of the tenants
nave complained that il is not high
enough, saying that. especially on the
upper floors. a person coming down the
steps quickly is very apt to pitch over
the railing. just how Holbrook hap
pened to lose his balance is not known.
The only person who saw him falling,
so far as could be learned, was man,
who, while descending from the third to
the second floor, saw dark object shoot
past him down the well-hole and then
heard the body strike against the rail-
ing, 1t is supposed that Holbrook was
suddenly seized with dizziness while
seated on the railing. He did not utter
any cry while he was falling.
Henry Helms and Dennis O'Hare
We're on the first floor when the acci-
dent occurred. The heard the noise of
the bedy striking and ran to Holbrook's
assistance. They found him all doubled
UP, lying face downward on the steps
of the first landing. 1t would appear
that after he turned a back somersault
he descended feet foremost until he hit
on the railing. He was then thrown
over onto the steps 1t was found that
the man had Sustained compound
fracture Of the left leg and a simple
fracture of the right leg. He also was in
ternally injured, but the hospital super
intendent said last evening he would
recover, although he might lose one or
both of his legs.
1T was rumored that Holbrook's fall
was not accidental. but there does not ap-
pear to he the slightest foundation for
this report; nor does it appear that he
had been drinking"

money winners of the season. 1t was
first produced at the Lincoln theater
Sept. H. and scored heavily. IT is said
to be we'll constructed and to contain at
least two remarkable scenes. The first
of these, realistic ferry boat trip from
Jersey City to New York, is said to be
absolutely perfect in detail. The WASH

gines. straining of timbers, and clang-
ing of bells, are all successfully imi-
tafed
More startling is the hurricane scene

scene. Forked lightning, roaring winds

mountain high tossing the doomed men,
ef-war and final wrecking of the u. S.
steamship Trenton. make an awe-in-
spring and -quickening spectacle
which can hardly fail to move the most
blase theater-goer. In addition to those
scenes, three beautiful scenes of farniI-
lar localities in Washington are shown.
The most effective of these is the dome
of the capitol Illuminated.

to the commander, but also to the en-

How to care for these old veterans is
a subject very near the commanders
heart. The equipment fund. entirely in

no more will be available during the

furniture for at least 10 more inmates,
which will cost, if uniform with present
equipment. about $500. 1t is with re-
luctance the commander brings this
subject before the various posts of the

weakness in numbers and the numerous
local appeals to their generosity. But
the fact remains that some of our old
