WAS A GREAT SUCCESS
The Trades Carnival at the Au-
ditorium.
MANY FIRMS REPRESENTED
Thirty-Five Beautiful Young Ladies in
Intricate Marches-Elegant Co.'S
tumes-The Best Drill Ever
Seen in Butte.

+ The trades carnival given at the
Auditorium last night for the benefit of
Mountain View church was a success;
indeed, so we'll pleased was everybody
that unanimous request went forth
for a repetition, and the drill and a
musical programme will be repeated
tonight. The feature of the pro-
gramme was the drill of the costumed.
beautiful young ladies who represented
business firms of this city Miss Wake
man was the pianist and the 35 charac-
ters, carrying banners emblematica of
the business houses they cleverly rep
resented, marched and countermarched
with martial and stately tread to the
inspiring music Of the piano. The
house was well filled and the audience
attested its delight by frequent and
prolonged applause of the intricate ev-
olutions of the well-drilled corps under
the captaincy of Mrs. N. A. Erick The
costumes We're not only unique, but ele-
giant, many of them representing a
cost nearing the 500 mark Groceries,
hardware, dry goods. mechanics, music
houses and even undertaking estab-
lishments were represented.
The IS representatives marched from
an anteroom and formed hollow
square IN the center or the room. Each
character in turn stepped to the center
of the square and recited lines which
told of the merits of her respective
wares. Then the drill entertained the
audience. The evolutions We're clever
ly executed. Especially we'll did the
leaders, Mesdames Nelson Moore and
Ed Wright. pilot the column through
the drill. There was not one false
move: it was declared to be the best
drill seen in Butte. After it was all
over there was a demand for a repe-
tition and it was agreed by all par
Elephants that the drill should be re-
peated tonight. There will be in adj
dition vocal and instrumental music
and Rotations.
Preceding the drill last night Miss
Wakeman recited very cleverly Jamie
Douglass and responded to a persist
.ent encore with a character sketch
This number was followed by Mrs.
Winchell of Minneapolis, who sang
"Carina," waltz song. This was a
most admirable rendition and the lady
responded with Because I love You
So''
Mrs. Winchell has a clear, rich voice
which is under the control of a mas
ter vocalist. Miss Emery accompanied
on the piano.
The ladies of the church served ice
cream and cake and the drill corps
was photographed by flashlight.
The following ladies represented the
respective firms: Mrs. N. A. Erick,
captain, A. S. Whiteway, contractor;

HOSPITAL FOR BREAD WINNERS.
Institution to He Opened in New York
for Working Women.

for Working Women.
A hospital is soon to be opened in
New York for those feminine wage
earners who have fallen by the way
side from i'll health. 1t is to be re-
served exclusively for women. 1t will
best food, the newest hygienic sur
roundings and a private room for every
patient for the maximum cost of $40 a
week or the minimum price Of 81 a
week, or if that small sum is beyond
the means of the suffering inmate she
can pay whatever she likes.
The plan is the proposal of DR.. Alex
ander J. c. Skene of New York. For
the past five years DR.. Skene has been
the stanch friend of the working wo-
man and he has now offered to donate
to the hospital some lots on Park slope,
President street, Brooklyn, valued at
$40, 900.
Dr. Skene has resigned as president Of
the Long Island College hospital to for
ward the plan. 1t is proposed to erect
a building that will cost 100000. The
plan contemplates an endowment Of
100000. There will be at least 100 beds
in the new hospital. There will be
practically no wards for the plan is to
do away with promiscuity and provide
every patient with a private room.
The hospital is designed to be self
expenses Of well conducted hospital at
so or so cents per CAPITA" said Dr..
George Sproull the secretary. There
may be a large profit on hospitals. A
hospital may easily and speedily get
rich.
"A young woman may be taken to
many hospitals in this city where she
will be placed in ward at 81 week.
If she wants private room she may
have to pay $40, $50 or even 500 a week,
Persons of refinement have a distinct
and natural aversion to lying in ward.
The Breadwinners' hospital will DO
away with that objection to hospitals.

hospital a charitable institution. Ev-
cry patient will pay something. What
that something is will be regulated by
her means. We will try to make it self
supporting. have no doubt that after
the first year this will be done. With
large endowment for a reserve fund
this will be quite practicable.
There are already in greater New
York more than sufficient hospital ac-

tutions where the wealthy can obtain
all the care that science and art afford
for the sick and injured. But there is
no provision of any kind made for the
care Of self-supporting women when

class Of breadwinners, such as sales
women. trained nurses stenographers,
tgpeWrlters, dressmakers and the class
OF skilled domesties, cannot afford ex-
pensive medical attendance and nurs
ms either at home or in hospitals and
they often suffer in silence and priya
ton rather than become associated with
charity patients in public institutions.
1t is for this class of most valua bic
and useful women citizens that there is
crying need of an institution in which
they can obtain the best care In .sick-
ness ana at an expense graduated to
their means. Such an institution would
afford aid and encouragement to those
who are struggling to maintain the re-

A BROOM CORN SEED.
franklin Should Be the Patron Saint
of Housewives.

Franklln Should Be the Patron Saint
of Housewives.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Every housewife is supposed to know
how to handle broom, but it is safe
to say not one in ten has any clear
idea of what her sweeping utensil is
made of, or how it is made. or where
the material came from. Brooms are
made from the heads or brushes of the
broom-corn, first cousin of our COM
mon field corn. And in this connection
Is told very pleasant little fairy story
concerning Benjamin Franklin. Poor
Richard by the way, seems to have
been about the biggest jack ALL
trades that eyer helped the United
States to become the richest and most
powerful nation of the world. If this
story is true, he is the patron saint of
the housewife and the broom maker,
as well as kite-fyer, lightning catcher,
printer, publisher. editor, author, phil
osopher and other things too numer-
Gus to mention Now, broom-corn
first grew in India. From there it was
carried to Europe. The story goes that
DR.. Franklin was examining a whislS
broom that had been brought over from
England in the days before we had any
broom-corn of our own. He found a
Single SEED on the broom, picked 1t on,
planted it and raised a stalk of corn,
from which is descended. so to speak,
all the broom-corn of the United States
However this may be, broom corn
grows much like it's first cousin, our
maize, which originated here. The head
is larger, however, and the seeds grow
on the head instead of in ears The
heads are cut off, leaving about six
inches of stalk, and the seeds are
scraped off by a machine which does a
clean job and does not injure the
broom. The seeds are valuable, in
way. They are fed to horses and poul-
try, and ground into meal for cattle.
In the making of the brooms the corn
is put around handle of Eastwood or
soft maple turned in lathe. Each
layer is wound tight with Irvine or wire
until the desired size is attained The
broom is then pressed out fiat and
sewed to keep it in that shape. Whisk
brooms are made in the same way.

HoAx'Nc a BRITISH FLEET
How Stupid Iriseman Baffied the
English Sailors.

From the Westminster Gazette.
An amusing story is told of the hoax
ing OF a British fleet by "a stupid Irish
man during the recent naval maneuy-
ers. 1t appears that during an attack
on Bere Island by some of the vessels
of the 81 fleet the officer at the Hut
received instructions from Castletown
coast-guard station to gather UP all
kilograms and secret plans, send man
away with the same to hide in a cave,
and on no account to let them fall into
the enemy's hands. With the remain
der OF his crew he was then to show
fight until the last. In the meantime
an attacking force of Is men and an
officer had been landed, which marched
to the Hut and secured it's surrender.
All search for the secret papers, how
ever. proved useless, and the men at
the Hut maintained a profound silence
to all interrogations. During the af-
ternoon one OF the men of the Castle
town coast-guard station had been sent
to Bere island with the pay of the men,
Upon arrival there he proceeded at
once to the Hut (having previously dis
guised himsel) and found himself sur
rounded by the invaders, who wanted
to know his busienss. He posed ais an
old native, and was trying, with the
help of his small pension, 10 make a
living on the island by cutting and sell
ing turf. He had provided himself with
turf-cutting spade in order to give
color to his story.
The sailors of the invading party
We're very sympathetic, and advised
him to go to England, where he would
be sure of getting work in one of the
royal dockyards After getting the in
vaders into a good humor he immedi-
ately went in search of the man with
the secret documents in his possession.
with the aid Of some of the islanders he
found the man he was in search of.
took from him all the documents, which
he hid in two baskets of turf, and re-
turned to the Hut. This time the sub
lieutenant in charge of the invaders
took him in hand and closely question
ed him with view to obtain some re-
liable information regarding the de-
Tenders, but all to no purpose. At last
the sub-lieutenant dismissed the man,
with the remark that he was the most
stupid Irishman that he had ever met.
Little did the officer imagine that the
supposed stupid Irishman was the very
man they wanted, as at the time he had
in his possession all the documents the
invaders were searching for.
During the night the enemy's flotilla
left Berehaven. going west, disconnect-

HE'S HEADED THIS WAY
A Clever Swindler With a Fa.
cile Pen.
LAWYERS HIS TARGETS E
An ArIstocratic Flimflamer Who Is Look.
ing After Big Game-Reputable
Lawyers and Banks Are
His Prey.

The local authorities have been noti-
heo TO be on the alert for a clever
s"indler who is supposed to be headed
tnls way, If he has not already arrived
mere. and for whom a reward of $50 is
offered by Sheriff John Ellis of Bannock
county, Idaho. The man wanted is
known as j. N. Wyman, alias Charles
Iappen, and he is reputed to be a for
ger who is so handy with his pen and
VINO mas SO oily tongue that he has
very little difficulty in raising money
at other peoples expense. He is hieh-
toned f1imflammer, too, according to
Sheriff Ellis, and makes lawyers and
banks his special target, and it is said
that not a few Western bankers and
members of the legal fraternity have
enjoyed the society of the crafty indi-
vidual greatly to their sorrow and chag-
rim thereafter.
The notification of the local author
tiles and offer of reward came to the
head of the police department from
Sheriff Ellis yesterday. The circular Of
fering the reward describes the swind-
ler's system of doing business. 1t is to
the effect that he will go to some attor-
ney and state that he has had some
trouble with brother and that there
is partnership property between them.
He will give the attorney power to sell
his share of the property the supposed
brother sends him check and bill OF
sale. They come at least to the lawyer
who Is instructed to turn over the check
after he has signed the bill of sale
This done. he asks the lawyer to go
to bank and identify him and he
thus gets the check cashed.
The operator always selects we'll
known lawyers to make his game the
more sure Of going through, and as a
consequence not a few lawyers of
prominence in the West have been re-
CURED to produce when the check was
found to be worthless instead of earn
ing a nice fee, as they expected to-
The swindlers description is given as,
age about 80 years, height about SIX
feet; very slim build; weight about 1916
pounds; small light brown mustache:
blue eyes; cheeks little sunken; well
dressed and apparently quiet man Of
business.
