CURRENT MISCELLANY.

A doctor, writing nu the subject Of
the suppression Of useless noises in
cities, which he claims will hasten to-
ward convalesence many a patient whose
nerves are now too racked by perpetual
racket to give the system a chance Of
recuperating, says he remembers one
delightful ward in his training school
wherein the "sister'' used to insist on
a "silent hour" from $3.50 to $3.50
daily. It was the only ward in the hos
pital which enforced this golden rule,
alike beneficial to the nurses fortunate
enough to be drafted there and the pa
TENTS therein, who fourished and bios
somed forth into amazing convalescence
under the silence system and the good
nursing which accompanied it, for the
"sister' was a born nurse, and she had
the real sympathy and womanliness
which caused her to appreciate the balm
and healing of that one quiet hour in
the day.
It was a male surgical ward, and the
patients on first admission used to chafe
somewhat at "sister's'' dictum-against
which there was no appeal-of "'no
conversation or newspaper reading dur
ing the hour" But gradually each pa
tient, came to appreciate the soothing
lull in the busy hum Of the ward, and
"sister" and her staff used to watch
with satisfaction how patient after pa
tient fell gradually under the sopotifo
quiet Of the time and went off into
comfortable sleep, which frequently
lasted long aftersthe prescribed limit

ENGLAND AND AMERICA.
Thu Prejudices Which Exist Between the
Two Countries.

avn
It is a lamentable thing that many
Americans lose much Of the pleasure
Of English travelling by greatly ex-
aggerating the differences in char
acter between the two nations and
by assuming that the English, as
such, are more reserved, cold and
unsocial than Americans. During
three visits at long intervals to this
country, and while assooiating with
"all sorts and conditions of men,"1
have never been able to find any
authority for this impression. Haw-
thorne told the whole story when
he pointed out that any mutual dis
like between the two nations was
collective and not individual; that
the individuals were apt to frater-
nize well enough, but that each re-
tanned vague prejudice against the
whole body of the other nation.
English people are apt to like the
Americans whom they know, but to
retain the impression-no doubt
sometimes justifable-that there
are a great many others whom, if
they knew, they should not like,
and this is much the way in which
Americans feel about English men
and women. The distrust is generic,
while the liking is individual. Per-
haps itwould be spleasanter if the
distrust were nonexistent, but it is
something to feel that each may do
something to Overcome it and to
help later travellers by making the
liking more general. It is true that
on the continent Of Europe English
people are or were apt to appear at
disadvantage; to regard themselves
as being sheep in the midst Of pos
sible wolves, which, indeed, they,
often are. But on their own ground
the instinct Of personal hospitality
is traditional, and they are especial
~ disposed to regard Americans as
friends-a confidence often mis-.
placed, I regret to say, among the
unscrupulous or ungracious.
The very fact that such marked
distinctions Of rank exist among
themselves makes them incline to-
ward Americans, who offer no such
extreme complications. Indeed it
sometimes happens that an Ameri-
can lady, like a bride, may be given
precedence over others simply be-
cause, having no definite rank, she
may as well be put at the head
as at the foot, especially if she
is personally attractive In truth
the fixed order Of English soci-
ETY., if occasionally a social con-
venienoe, is also a yoke, and there
is sometimes a positive willingness
to relax it and act assn there were
no such thing. just as in English
country houses the almost excessive
formality of the dinner is balanced
by the utter informality of the
breakfast, where the servants are
excluded, and every man guest
jumps up and gets whatever hi
pleases from the sideboard, so Eng
lish people seem to have rather 8
liking for the somewhat noveldavo,
Of Americans, and readily pardon i
when the order Of precedence proves
a matter too complex for our intel
lects to fathom. And it is also to b.
remembered that the society which
is apt to attract American visitor
the most is that Of English author
and artists, who usually have yer!
little connection with the order o
precedence in any way.-Harper'
Bazaar.

BEASTS or THE SLUMS
An Awful Story of Moral De-
pravity Told in the Court.
CARRIE HANSEN'S SHAME
The Young Woman Released From Gus
tody on the Promise to Return to
Butte With a Lady Who Of
fers Her Good Home.

Carrie Hansen, the young girl arrested
by the police in company with a
man who says his name is Treacy, was
yesterday turned loose and told to go
home and try to lead better life.
Treacy was also given his freedom.
The girl was taken before Judge Fitz-
gerald and questioned by him. She told
a story of moral depravity. bestiality
and brutal lust that made the men in
the room shudder. She accuses her
stepfather, w. r. Bruno, who, she says,
resides in the rear of No GAG East Park
street, Butte, of being responsible for
her shame. She told the judge that
since she was 10 years of age Bruno
had on sundry and divers occasions
compelled Ler to submit to his will; she
recited, in detail, the terrible story of
her young life. She spoke without the
slightest emotion, showing that she was
well up in slum vernacular as well as
in other things.
Assistant County Attorney James
Self was sent for and he listened to the
girls story. She said:
Il came to this city with julius Davis
(Treacy) and we went to house on the
row, where I asked for lodgings until l
could get another room in the city. The
woman in charge of the house assigne
me room and in it l remained till
arrested by the police. / do not want
to go home, and won't. 1t is no home.
My stepfather has ruined me and IL
responsible for my position in this
world My mother commanded me to
go and live with Julius Davis until
could find a better place. My mother
often got drunk on the beer that her
husband bought with the earnings of
my shame, and that was more than I
could stand. So / decided to go out on
the world and use the money / earned
myself in any way / saw fit. julius
Davis has been my friend for a long
time, and he knows all of my folks.

was Is years old on the 9th of last
month, and am old enough to look out
for myself. No; won't go back to that
home"
A lady from Butte, who takes a deep
interest in the girl was in the court
room, having come down to intercede in
the girls behalf She offered, as she
has done on previous occasions to take
the young woman to her home and try
to lead her away from her present
downward course. She was much
affected by the story that she heard
ana talked pieadingly to Miss Hans IN.
She told her to leave her associates and
go with her to a comfortable, respect
able home. The judge also spoke kind
l. to her.
Still the girl persisted, until finally
the judge said: Young lady. you will
take your choice. Return to Butte WITH
the lady who offers you a good nome.
or accept the alternative-the jail
The girl hesitated, but finally con-
scented to accompany her benefactress.
and they both left vest erlay afternoon
for Butte. The man in the case very
likely will go to Butte, too.

comfort of his wife. who sits constantly
at the bedside.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Shean was en-
gagged at work in a calcine room at the
upper works At about 9 o'clock he
noticed a fire on top of a brick encased
boiler. He and Martin Kennedy noticed
the blaze simultaneously. and the latter
hastily drew a pailful of water from a
tap nearby and handed it to Shean, who
climbed on top of the boiler and threw
the water on the flames. A dense cloud
of steam arose from the blaze when the
water came in contact with it, and in
order to get out of the way of the thick
mist Mr.. Shean stepped back a few
feet further than he had intended to
and he fell to the ground, striking his
back against a board that stood against
the brick easement. He was uncon-
scious when picked up and conveyed to

was unable to speak, and when he did

as to his place of residence, but after
while he told the attendants where he
lived, and word was Immediately sent
to Mrs. Shean, who hurried to the side
of her husband.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shean have resided in
Anaconda since last December, coming
here from Butte, where they stopped
for few weeks en- route to Anaconda
from Ishpeming, Mich, their former
home. The couple have no children the
only relative living in Montana being
Mrs. James Harrington of Butte, Mrs.
Shean's sister.
DR.. Spelman attended the injured
man and gives out little hopes of his
recovery. He may lnger for several
days, and the end may come at any
moment. 1t is a rare case when a per-
son lives any great length of time with
his back broken, yet cases are on record
of men having lived many months with
similar Affections. Yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Shean talked about the accident,
but it was painful effort, apparently,
for him to speak. He would say few
words, then a feeble cough would over
power him and he could not speak for
some time afterwards. Mrs. Shean is
heartbroken, but with great fortitude
bears up under the weight of sorrow
and ministers TO the wants of her hus-
band at all times.
