masses of people who, as the parade
was concluded, began crowding into the
street cars to go to the gardens.
At Columbia Gardens.

The Labor day speeches and games
at the Columbia gardens We're carried
out very successfully, and they were
much enjoyed by the people of Butte
and the visitors from other places. They
drew a big crowd. The beautiful
weather that prevailed for the major
part of the day induced the people to
leave their homes early, and by noon
the street cars for the gardens began
to be crowded.
Long before the time for the speeches
with which the programme at the gar
dens was opened, the place was swarm
ing with people and the swings were
going, the boats plying the miniature
lake and promenaders passing to and
fro in every direction. The crowds were
in good humor and everybody seemed
to enIAv the holiday hugely
All the world and mis- wife and family
were out and the number of ladies and
children present was large. The peo-
pie We're dressed in holiday attire and
the gardens were the theater of much
gayety and animation. The order kept
was perfect and the gentlemen in
charge of the exercises and games are
entitled to much credit.
he speeches were preceded by an
overture, rendered by the Boston &
Montana band. The band played a
couple of pleasant selections in first
class style.
The speeches were preceded by an
large audience, which filled the seats
on the grand stand and the open spaces
surrounding the speakers stand. Presi-
dent Edward Boyce of the Western
Federation of Miners and President
Daniel Mcdonald of the Western La
Dor union were the speakers of the day
Three or four thousand people were
present and the speeches were flatter-
ingly received. Both speakers were the
recipients of much applause. There
were 5000 people at the gardens, prob

The Boiler Makers Hammered Lively Salut,
1T WAS A PROCESSION FOR COLUMBIA

Newport, r. l., Sept 4.-In to-day's
race, the second and last of the Off
cial trial races for the settlement of a
defender for the American cup, Co
lumbia again demonstrated that she is
the superior of Defender, the 1895 cham
pion, by defeating her 10 minutes and
several seconds over a triangular
course in an eight-knot breeze and a
smooth sea. The contest was a pro-
cession throughout with Columbia lead
ing at the start by 13 seconds and gain
ing on every leg of the course.
The first leg was a reach from the
starting point at Brenton's reef light
ship southeast, one-half east, to a flag
mark, a distance of 10 miles, and from
the moment the Columbia crossed the
line she steadily sailed away from
her rival, gybing round the first mark
three minutes and SO seconds ahead.
The second leg was also a reach, a lit
tie broader than the first, out even
if the Defender did set her spinnaker
a mile from the turn, she dropped two
minutes and 10 seconds more in the
run to the second mark.
The third leg of the triangle was al
most a dead heat to the finish, the two
boats making a long hitch clear up
to the Narragansett shore. Columbia
made two other short tacks before she
reached the line, but Defender, by hold
ing longer in shore, managed to reach
the lightship without another tack.
Still the Columbia gained, showing
that with sheets close hauled she is the
fastest American sailing yacht afloat
On this last leg she added four min
utes and % seconds to her lead. max
ing a total for the entire course of 10
minutes and several seconds. There
will be no more official races, that of
to-day settling conclusively in the
minds of the committee which of the
boats is better fitted to meet the Sham
rock. The cup committee is permit
ted to defer announcing the name of

the yacht selected to defend the cup
until week prior to the date of the
first contest, and therefore the dccis-
ion was not made public. OF course
there is not the slightest doubt that
Columbia will be the craft chosen.
What all the yachtmen would like to
see is contest between the boats when
they could carry only their lower sails
On the run of the New York Yacht
club from this port to Vineyard Haven,
during the recent cruise in a half gale
the Defender practically defeated the
Columbia on time allowance, and there
are to-day many who think that the
old boat is the faster in a stiff breeze
with lifted sheets. On the run to Vine
yard the Columbia had a pine mast.
which no doubt handicapped her to
some extent, and it remains to be seen
whether she is improved in heavy
weather by the steel mast as much as
she is in the moderate breezes.
The Columbia's mailsail fitted a little
better to-day than it did on Saturday.
due, no doubt, to the stretching it re
ceived in the first trial race and the
subsequent hauling out of the boom.
Still. there is an opportunity for much
improvement, as there is a curl to the
leach that some of the yachtsmen don't
like. There will be a race tomorrow
between the Columbia and Defender
for a cup offered by William Goddard
of Providence, Mr.. Iselin's father-in-
law.
The reason for holding this race is to
try a new and lighter mainsail on the
Columbia.
Official summary of the race:
Start-Columbia, 11:26:09; Defender
11:26:22.
Finish-Columbia, 2:4S:S8; Defender,
2:53:53.
Elapsed time-Columbia, 3:15:2i: De-
fender 3:27:31.
Columbia wins by 10 minutes and :
seconds.
So the Columbia wins by 10 minutes
and I seconds actual time in a race of
close to 33 miles, for about three miles
must be added for the windward work
sailed in the last leg of the course.
Therefore the Columbia averaged 10
miles an hour for the entire course.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 4.-The gentleman
who claimed to know how the French
war Office secrets reached Germany and
the names of those instrumental in
their transfer from France was seen
to-day by the Atlanta representative of
the associated press All the matter
given in the Jewish Sentiment story
sent out in these dispatches Thursday

as far as possible, and much informa-
tion tending to amplify and elucidate
statements made there was obtained

informal ton was elected that the let

of the United States government were
used as a safeguard in transmitting
the French war office documents from
that country to Germany, and also that

10 minutes, but was put in the COM

Rio, where the New York regiment was
stationed. The paper to the adjutant
generals Office in Washington recon-
mending his discharge is signed by
William E. Horton, assistant adjutant
general, and came from General Will

stamps Of different railway companies
from which he obtained half rate trans

Bentheim is an artist and this is the
avocation given in his discharge papers.
Since he left the service of the United
States he has been travelling over the
South, and is at present on his way
from Montgomery to Washington,
where he says he will visit the sculp-
tor Trentanoye. Bentheim says he has
no interest in the matter and wishes
no notoriety. His name was given only
at the last minute and under pressure.
His story was not told with that even

versation shows that he is fully ac-

possessed. This Is the story:

New York, Sept. 4-Michael FARRELL,
the Italian saloonkeeper who shot Po-

when the latter was about to arrest
him for violating the excise law, made
an attempt to escape from the two de-

screaming and cursing. In front of the
court house a crowd of about 1000 per-
sons had gathered and when the pris-

rush was made for F'arrelli, and it
required the strenuous efforts of
dozen court officers to clear a passage

Social Jottings.

Mrs. Brutus johnson returned from
Florence Sunday evening, after twa
weeks visit to her sister, and it is un-
dorstood that she will give at least six
hops during the winter. Gossip also
has it that she has new receipt for
hair-dye which makes an old gold color
in one night.
We regret to announce that Maj.
Callahan, who acted as floor manager
at so many cotillions last winter, will
not be with us this season. He intend
ed to return from Salt Lake last week,
but through some irregularity in hand
ling public funds he will be detained"
for year or two.
John Q. Jones, the architect, in
formed US the other day that he had
no less than five orders for stairways
on Cochise place to replace old-fash-
ioned ladders. The day will soon be
here when all our best residences will
be provided with these conveniences,
and the ladder relegateGf to the past.
Mrs. Jack Thompson arrived here
the other day on a visit to Mrs. John
Hepworth, and may remain for a
month. She speaks three different lam
guages, kills rattlesnakes with a club,
and is the only woman in the territory
who can skin to the top of an S0-foot
tree without getting dizzy-headed.

they are ''men without country"
themselves of the privilege granted
them by the United States government
to take out coasting permits, have re-
nounced formally their allegiance to
Spain without swearing allegiance to
the United States. They become citi-
zens, supposedly, of the Cuban repub-
lie, which is to be at some time in the
future, but which, as yet, has no inter-
national or official existSce.
The blue and white flag illustrated
above is the nearest approach to a ma
tional flag for them which has yet been
recognized.
The single star is also the emblem on
the other new flag to which we have
made reference-the flag of the new
principality of Crete, recently organ
lied by the great powers of Europe un-
der the governorship of Prince George
of Greece. This flag consists of a white
st. Andrews cross on blue ground,
with white star on a red field in the
inner triangle.
This is a beautiful flag, and only dis
tantly suggestive of the flag of the
Greek kingdom, into which Crete
seems destined to be eventually alb
sorbed Its single star is derived from
the Turkish flag, but for the crescent it
has substituted the cross, which IS sym
bolical of Crete's deliverance from OF

In order that no mistakes may be
made or blunders committed we deem
it best to announce right here and now
that the editor of the Arizona Kicker,
who is ourself, will continue to lead
the social world at Giveadam Gulch in
the future as in the past. There was a
rumor afoat around town last week
that we intended to withdraw from So
ciety this winter and devote our even
ings to the game of seven-up, but our
friends need pay no attention to such
gossip. We have had our dress-suit
cleaned up, patched and reburnished,
cur white shirt heightened and over
hauled, and we shall introduce several
Chicago and st. Louis ideas into the
high teas and card parties to be held
among our elite. Our new way of

just too swagger for anything, and

A SLIP SOMEWHERE.

As a newspaper man, l had been
through the Jail at Black Hill with the
sheriff, and he had introduced me to
Dan Needham, who was charged with
stage-robbing and killing. Dan didn't
look fierce enough, according to my
way of thinking, for such a terrible
man as they made him out to be, but
there was proof sufficient to hang him.
We were sitting on the steps outside,
when a body of 40 men rode up. As
Ivauer ulSmounUeu ne SAID to the
sheriff:
"Well, Joe, you got Dan Deedham in
here, haven't you?"
Eyes, had him three days." was the
reply.
We've come to hang him."
"Shoo! Why don't you give up to the
law?"
Better to hang him. Coin to make
any fuss about it?"
Don't see how I can, but I'm agin
sich hangin's. Thar's allus chance
of slip somewhar's, you know. Hang
in the wrong man don't do no good"
But this is the right man, Joe. Jest
hand over them keys and we won't dis
turb nuthin'."
Half dozen of us went in together.
When the robber was brought out of
his cell he looked about him and quiet
ly asked:
'Well, what you fellers want?"
Coin to hang you!" was the brief
reply.
without any trial?"
Fright off now"
''Wall, I reckon you WILL" said the
man, and he followed the crowd out
doors without another word. He was
mounted on a horse in front of one of
