BAND BOYS ENCOURAGED.
Their Dance Last Nigh ( at Turner Hal
a success-A Musical Treat
Much Enioyed.

1t was demonstrated last night be-
yond question that the Anaconda band
has the good will of the people, not only
of his city and Montana, but of those
visitors from San Francisco, Chicago,
Denver, Portland, Salt Lake and Texas.
The BAN boys, some weeks ago, started
out to give a dance. They promised to
furnish music by an orchestra composed
of 10 pieces. They assured everybody
a good time and lots of dancing and
more if they wanted it. They agreed
to urnish everything. hall included.
which goes to make up a jolly good
time. All of their promises have been
fulhlled-it was the prettiest dance of
the year 1898 in this city. Turner hall
was in form" for fast dancing, n
the young folks did go. They enjoyed
themselves, so did the folks who are a
little bit older than the young folks.
The galleries were packed, the seats sur
rounding the glossy surface were occu-
pied to the limit, the lobby was taxed
and not a few stood on the outside TO
listen to the sweet strains of music.
The full band gave a street s~erenade
early in the evening, and as 10 street
car loads of lucky players from the race
track disembarked, the shortenders
thought the band had turned out to
celebrate their victories in the betting
ring. So they returned the very pretty
compliment By going TO the dance.
The boys, in their natty uniforms,
made an attractive appearance as they
glided over the floor with the prettiest
girls in the hall for partners. The boys
wear brass buttons, and brass buttons
are the popular souvenirs these days,
besides the boys are dance as well as
musicians. The orchestra received many
ha plaav,a rnr,n lfnannt nd aNEaTN num-
Der on the programme was encored, and
the responses We're generous. Those
who composed the best orchestra ever
heard in the city were:
Leo C. Bryant, leader: William Es-
may. first violin; George w. Pierce, first
c%larionet; Charles L~awrenson, second
c%larionet: Frank Martz, cornet; III. r.
Kaufman, trombone; George DAVIDSON
bass; ]. A. Jordon. flute: Charles Il.
Hickey. piano: William Schatzlein,
drums and cymbal.
The members of the band expressed
thmselves as being highly pleased ana
gratified with the resul of their efforts.
The sale OF tickets was encouraglngly
large and the net profits will foot up TO
a good sum-. The band has been giving
Saturday evening open arr concerts ana
the music was greatly enjoyed. and the
liberal in which the people last
night gave evidence of their apprecia-
ton of the efforts of the band TO sue
coed has given a new impetus which
will no doubt result in further increas-
ing the popularity of the organization
The members of the band are:
l.. c. Bryant. leader: Frank Martz,

TWO GAMES WITH HELENA
Anaconda Baseball Team Leaves
for the North To-Day.
THEY EXPECT TO WIN BOTH
There Will Be One Same This Afternoon
and Another Tomorrow - The
Players Who VIII Take
Part in the Contests.

This morning the Anaconda ball club
two games, which will he played to-day
and tomorrow. The team will leave
Anaconda at $40 o'clock this morning
and will arrive in Helena about 1880.
The Anaconda team will be made up
as follows; Catcher. McDonough;
pitcher. Long: first base, Burton: sec
ond base. Lynch; third base Sutton;
short stop, Donahoe: left field, McHale;
center field. Lloyd: right field, Clemens.
The Helena Independent of yesterday
has the following with reference to the
team that will go against the Anacon-
das:
The Helenas last year lost two games
to the Anaconda club and now the
home team proposes to even UP the
score IL possible. The Anaconda team
remains about the same as il was last
year; at least, a number of the players
who were with the nine last yea are
with IT this, but the Helena organiZa-
ton Of this year is much stronger than
it was at any time last season.
"When in Helena last. the Anaconda
pail tossers made a GOOD impression
upon the people, not merely
they played good ball. but because of
the way they conducted themselves both
on and of the diamond. Both games
last year were free from ~wrangling or
disagreements of any kind.
The position of the Helena players
for to-morrow's game is about as fol-
lows: Hammond, a new twirler of abil-
ity. in the box; Freeman, behind the
bat; Murphy, probably at first; Sulli-
van, second base; Morrison, shortstop;
Condor, third base; fielders to be select
ed from Johns, Goodyear, Walter, Set
ties and jacobson. Ferrens will pitch
for the Helenas in Sundays game"
The Anaconda team expects to repeat
the performance of last year and take
both games from the boys at the capital
city. 1t is probable that Lynch will
pitch Sundays game for Anaconda. c.
w. Swiggett will accompany the club to
Helena in the capacity of manager.
The team yesterday received an offer
from the Belt club for two games in
September. The Belt team Is to make
a tour of the state shortly. The offer
which they propose is a very fair one
and will doubtless be accepted by the
local team.

His Monument.

- ERHAPS we would have heard
~ more about the ceremonies of
, last Monday, in Dublin, at the
laying Of the corner stone of the Wolfe
Ton monument. IL it hadn't been for
the war. In the former days of peace
Anaconda's company in the Montana
militia was known as the Wolfe Tone
guards. Some of these soldiers are on
the high seas to-day, bound for Ma
Mia. Whether the home-guard mem
bership keeps the organization alive,
this office cannot say-we have not
heard that. by any token, it was repre-
scented at the laying of the corner stone.
At any rate. the cable accounts Of
last Mondays ceremonies describe an
impressive a~ffair-another instance of
the rebel Of one century made the ad-
mired hero of the next. Like Parnell,
Wolfe Tone was a Protestant who
fought a good fight for Ireland. The
dispatches describing the event of last
Monday say that people of all sects,
men of various ranks In official dignity
and representatives of all political par
ties tool an active part in the cere-
monies. II was a national event; the
erection of this memorial closes the
incidents of the centennial celebration
Of the Irish revolution of 1898.
Wolfe Tone was Of the prosperous up
per middle class OF society in ireland
and was 80 years old when the revolu-
ton of 1898 broke out. He a been
highly educated and was a member Of
the London bar. He was a prolific
writer and an eloquent speaker on the
subject of British oppression in Ireland.
He was foremost in the formation of
secret societies for the PRONUNCIATION of
patriotic opinions and in promoting
movements for Irish independence. He
formed in Belfast in 1891 the first or
ganization of United Irishmen. He
was active in the national agitation OF
the decade preceding the outbreak of
war.
In 1875 Tone came to the United
States. but remained only a short time.
in organizing and leading the expedi-
tions for a descent on Ireland. His last
expedition sailed for relan in Septem-
Der and was ~overtaken by a British
squadron. The vessels were captured
or destroyed and Tone was taken pris.

try another plan: and we al keep try
ing until we get a form Of administra-
ton that suits.
One trouble is that the conditions in
Cuba are not those that had been an
ticipated. The quoting of the island Is
a larger undertaking than We had an
ticipated. We Americans had figured
thai our heaviest task would be to ex-
pei the Spaniards-we reckoned that the
natural order Of events would do the
rest. Apparently that is not going to
be the case. The root of the trouble. in
Cuba as at Manila, is that the rebels,
given free hand, as the result Of u
victories over Spain. are ben on max
ing reprisal. They are so un-American
and so unfit to be Americans, that they
cannot understand how a victory Is to
be signalized or the fruits of war gar
nered without a season Of unlicensed
looting. Even in Washington the theory
was that a few soldiers would set Cuba
at rights. after the expulsion of the
Spaniards; just as the war department
went on record with the idea, made
absurd by subsequent events. that five
thousand soldiers would be an ample
garrison at Manila.
Fitzhugh Lee understands the condi-
tons in Cuba. He is acquainted with
the insurgents. He knows how much
trouble they can make; his recent state
ment is that at least 45, 200 soldiers will
be required TO garrison the island and
bring 1t to the point where. under what
ever government is adopted. It's affairs
can be administered peacefully. The
whole trouble is that Cuban ways IND
Philippine-rebel ways are not our ways,
and the difference in this respect is so
wide that our ways must simply be
enforced. On this score we have our
obligation as respects Cuba-it is prac-
tically a pledge given by congress when
we declared war: we assumed nothing
respecting the Philippines, except as
international law. after the Dewey ex-
plot. put us under certain general obli-
cations.
There is a moral to 1t all-it is that
by temperament and by instinct, as
well as by previous condition of servi-
tude. the populations on Cuba and the
Philippines are not of the kind that
should be honored with American cit
izenship or governed under our form,
hic has its foundation in the consent
of the governed.

EPWORTH LEAGUE CONVENTION.
Delegates Return From Bozeman Well
Pleased With the Work.

The delegation of 10, including the
pastor of the NJ. E. church. who were
sent to BoZeman to represent the Ep-
worth league of Anaconda, the first of
the week, returned yesterday morning,
and they report a most enjoyable and
enthusiastic time. 1t is said that this
convention was the best ever held in the
state. About so regular delegates were
in attendance, and the people of Boze-
man not only opened cordially their
h~ospitable homes, but they filled the
church for the evening meetings.
The delegates brought with them a
rich profusion of flowers of all hues
which they are to use in decorating the
NJ. f. church for the Sabbath services
this coming Sunday. They convention
subscribed 1905 for the purpose of send
ing Miss Alma Evan to a foreign mis-
sion field. OF this amount Anaconda
subscribed nearly one-half. All the
meetings were pervaded with a deep
spirituality and the delegates express
themselves as more than satisfied. 1t
was voted that hereafter district con-
ventions should be held in each district
once a year, once each year conference
conventions in connection with Zach an
nual conference, and every two years a
state convention. The district and con-
ference conventions are to be organized

Mr.. Hoge and Mr.. McCune state that
40 miles of the road will be finished

Whatever doubt existed as to the
road being built is now dispelled and
an assurance is given the public of the
prospect of a road reaching out to Los
Angeles and San Diego directly from
this city. an achievement which has
long been hoped for by the people of
both states.'
