"IiELp WANTED"

The Great Falls Tribune discourses
somewhat at Lengthy on what it is
pleased to call "theyspotted brand of
prosperity Its moved to grind
out this homily by the cmournful
spectacle OF some 1900 mechanics.
lined up to take civil service exam
ination for positions in the public
service of Boston for which there
were only 500 wanted. While it is
no doubt true that the figures are
largely padded for the use OF the
calamity press, even the robust to-
tails given, do not indicate the con-
dition sought to be shown by the
Tribune, namely, that there is an
army of mechanics out Of work in
Boston and elsewhere. No one needs
to be told, that there Is a glamour
about public service that attracts
the average person4in all walks Of life.
There is a belief that the job is
softer and surer than under indivi-
dual or private bosses and many who
are already at work will make ap-
plication for the public service, some
from desire to enter it, and Others
on the principle Of having an an
chor to the windward. The mum.
Der Of applicants at the Boston civil
service examination is therefore nc
indication that these people were all
out of work. But the Tribune
article suggested reference to an
other and much more reliable index
of the condition Of wage carners-

Montana Stone.

The beautifully colored stone found
near Townsend, Mont, and taken
east by e. B, Northup, Of st. Paul,
is to be made commercially valuable
by two New York companies, one OF
which will cut and polish the stone
for mantels, wainscotting and other
interior architectural work, While the
other will grind it up for mineral
paints, says tile Northwest Magazine.
This stone is absolutely unique. 1t
is not sandstone or an ONYX: it is
pctritied clay: No one can tell how
it received its brilliant colors. Per
haps the most remarkable features
about it are the pictures of land
scapc found in it. Some Of these
impressions Of natural scenes in Mon
tana are so destinct and truthful that
it seems as if nature must have had
Some means of photographing the ac-

bringing this stone into public notice,
and success has at last rewarded his

Special Dispatch To the Standard.
Boise. Idaho, Nov. Ex-senator Shoup
and Senator Heitfeld left to-day for
Washington. to be present at the open
ing OF congress. They were interview
ed before they left as to their views
on the question OF the character of
government that should be installed in
the new territory acquired by the Unit
ed States as the result of the war with
Spain and otherwise. Senator Shoup,
who is chairman Of the territories COM
mittee. said: Il am I'm favor OF giving
the Hawaiians a territorial form of
government. the same as that which
exists in the territories of this country.
As to Porto Rico and the Philippines.
I believe they should be placed under
the control OF a civil commission Until
the requirements OF those countries and
the character OF the people are fully
understood by us. I am in favor OF
placing Cuba under military govern
ment until the question OF the ability
OF the Cubans to govern themselves has
been determined. We are bound under
the Teller resolution to give the Cubans
a chance for self-government. IL they
fail of course the United States must
step in and take permanent charge.
But during the trial process We must
retain our grasp on the island"

Railroad Traffic to a StandstiIl.
Philadelphia. Nov. 2..--The blizzard
which came out of the West reached
this city at IL o'clock yesterday morn
ing and ragged furiously until l O'Clock
TINS morning. As unexpected as IL was
violent. IL wrought great havoc. not
only here, but throughout the entire
state. In those IL hours the snowfall
reached a depth of more than nine
inches and the wind a velocity of 45
miles an hour. These figures are un-
precedented in the November records
or the local weather bureau, and the
officials there say that the storm I'm gen.
eral was the worst since the memora BILE
blizzard of 1888. The mercury steadily
dropped until well below the freezing
point, and tonight IL is still on its
downward course.
In this city traffic of every kind, as
well as wire communication, was Grip
pied. The suburban lines were brought
to complete standstill. with the roads
piled high with drifted snow. The
country milk trains which tried to get
into town this morning are still snow
bound and no Atlantic City trains got
away from the city after IL O'Clock this
morning. Trains on the main line of
the Pennsylvania road were greatly de-
layed.
To-day the weather has been clear
and cold and much progress has been
made in restoring affairs to their nor
NAL condition. Dispatches from inter-
ior towns tell Of like conditions.
At Stroudsburg large forces of men
were working all day on the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western tracks. trying
to get trains through to New York. In
the mountain regions of Scranton and
Wilkesbarre the greatest damage was
to telegraph wires. but the delay to
steam traffic was inconsiderable.
The gale was especially severe around
the Delaware capes. The schooner
William M. Wilson. from Philadelphia
for Norfolk. with a cargo of coal.
sprung leak four miles south of Me-
temkin lifesaving station. Her signals
were promptly answered and the
guards took of her crew of six men.
The schooner Is anchored a mile and a
half OF shore and is likely to sink dur
ing the night. A number of vessels Off
the capes were unable to get into the
harbor. and 1t is feared that there has
been heavy losses. The new steam
ship. Admiral Sampson. which left
Philadelphia yesterday for her official
trial trip. is safely anchored behind the
new breakwater.

graph and Telephone Wires Down.


Boston, Nov. 27.-A heavy November
blizzard swept over the western por-
tion of New England to-day. Tele-
graphic and telephone communication
is almost entirely prostrated. Trains
on all roads are being delay ed, and
there was no Chicago train to-day.
The storm, while not severe and not so
far-reaching in its effects as the fearful
blizzard of last February. was never
theless the heaviest experienced In Mo-
vember in this part of the country for
a long series of years. Coming on sun
day, IL did not cause the annoyance
or inconvenience il would have done
on a week day and most of the trans
portation companies made a heroic ef-
fort to at least partially recover from
the effects of the blockade.
Only the barest reports were received
up to o'clock tonight of the effects
of the storm on the coast. but even
those few lines gave rise to the grav-
est fear as to the safety of what lit
tie shipping that may have been of
Cape Cod last night or to-day. 1t will
probably be two or three days before
a complete list of the disasters can be
had.
