is, that one morning the poor empress
appeared At breakfast with stripes OF
doubtful green among her trcsses.
You have put some rubbish on your

ON the subject TO the empress, but the
perfumcr in ordinary to their majesties

The same fate befell later importa

YEARS ago, long before the world
" knew anything about Montana
y or much about California, Lloyd
Tevis was a Pacific-coast pioneer and
an ambitious young man who, with his
wits as his personal estate, determined
to make the most out of the opportuni-
ties which the new Eldorado offered.
He was business associate of ]. B.
Haggin Gradually, these two gentle
men made ventures in mining. They
became associated with the late George
Hearst and, later on, with Marcus DAILY.
The course of events had brought Mr..
Daily to Montana: one result was that
these four men became the owners,
practically in equal shares, of the Ana
conda mine.
This partnership remained unchanged
until the comparatively recent date
when the Anaconda Copper Mining
company was Incorporated. Under the
incorporation Mr. FTevis retained a part
of his interest. A few weeks ago tn =
control Of the stock of the Anaconda
company was sold to the Amalgamated
Copper company. With the rest, Mr..
Tevis sold his holdings; he then ceased
to have any interest in Montana min
ing properties. His last visit to the
East was in connection with this sale
he was in the best of health at
that time.
Montana knew next to nothing about
Mr.. Tevis The Standards memory is
that a hasty sojourn of couple of days
in Butte and Anaconda about six yea rs
ago, was the only visit he made to
this state in the past dozen years. I'm
til declining health overlook him, he
was a man of tireless activity in the
business world. He was reticent-the
public almost never heard of him. He
was, during many years, the president
of the Wells-Fargo Express company;
his interests in California We're very
large, and, unless the Standard errs,
he had. at the time of his death, valua-
BILE mining interests in Utah and in the
Black Hills. During the lifetime of
more than a generation of men, Mr..
Tevis has been, by name at least, one
of the best-known men on the Pacific
coast and his share was large in some
of the undertakings that have been of
great account in the upbuilding of
the West.

And Still They Come.

q URE enough, the people and the
~ newspapers in this country do
O not propose to let any man in the
administration take Dewey's name in
vain.
When, few days ago, popular crit-
cism was piling right in on the presi-
dental circle because of the humil-
iating collapse of the Luzon campaign,
it occurred to one of the presidents
torch-bearers to attempt diversion by
remarking that Dewey himself said
that five thousand men would avail to
quiet the island of Luzon. Inconsider-
ately, some of the white-house boosters
and few of the right wrong organs
began to get this remark into circula-
ton.
There was a loud protest in a min
ute, as shown by the eastern newspa-
pers of last week now arriving on Mon
tana exchange tables. The fact prompt
ly pointed out by the Standard, when
this misuse of Dewey's name was first
made, was instantly brought in evil
dence by many other newspapers. That
fact is this: When Dewey spoke of five
thousand men, he was operating in
practical alliance with the Filipinos;
they were holding the Spaniards in
check at Manila. We were fighting the
Spaniards, not the islanders. Dewey
said that force of five thousand Amer
leans acting with the Filpinos would
undoubtedly avail to keep the Span
iards quiet.
That is the long and the short of the
Dewey story about what five thousand
men could do In the Philippines; it
wasn't in any mans dream then that
after the close of the Spanish war we
were going to have another war. 1t is
plain that the attempt to conceal the
administration blunders behind Dew
ey's popularity will be promptly and
vigorously resented.

Brother, Protests Against the Par

OF Deer Lodge County.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Helena, July 24.--Stephen Matter,
who is serving life sentence in the
penitentiary for killing Gus Turner at
Garrison in the fall of 1890, will leave
the pen after having served nine years
of his long sentence. The board Of
pardons to-day sustained the action of
the governor in granting him a par
don. This was the case in which II of
the jurors and many other well-known
citizens of Deer Lodge asked that the
governor exercise executive clemency,
as they believed the punishment too
severe and mainland that Matter had
already served enough.
When the board came to consider the
case 1t was found that a protest had
been lodged with the board, as was
predicted in the Standard a few days
ago. Louis Turner of Anaconda, a
brother of the murdered man, sent
letter urging that the board vote
against the pardon; also protest
signed by As citizens of the county, in
Guiding j, G. Morony, a number of
members of the Anaconda police force
and others. The protest recited that
the signers did not believe 1t would be
good policy to liberate Matter at this
time. They commended that he should
serve several years more. They fur
Their expressed the belief that he was
of murderous disposition and If re-
leased would again commit the same
crime, as he had threatened to kill a
man in Texas who he says murdered
his brother. The latter feature of the
protest was based upon an affidavit of
Louis Turner, giving what he swears
Matter told him in the pen, where Tur-
ner was a guard, to the effect that f
ever released he would hunt down the
man who killed his brother in Texas
and kill him, as he considered it a
duty.
H. c. Baldwin, county attorney of
Broadwater county, who was Matters
attorney at the trial, appeared before
the board in support of the pardon. He
argued that Matter was guilty of moth
ing more than manslaughter, for which
he had been sufficiently punished. He
says that Turner was the aggressOr and
would have killed Matter. If the SEN
timent of the community had not been
prejudiced in favor of Turner, he says
he does not believe Matter would ever
have been convicted. He denied the
story of Matter intending to hunt down
the murderer of his brother. After dis

THE ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Names of Some of the Principal Brands
Sold in This Vicinity.

Names OIL some OF the Principal Brands
Sold in This Vicinity.
The recent discussion in the papers
of the effect upon the human system
of food made with alum baking pow
ders and the opinions that have been
published from noted scientists to the
effect that such powders render the
food unwholesome, have caused numer-
Gus inquiries for the names of the vari-
Gus alum powders.
The following list of baking powders
containing alum is made UP from the
reports of State Chemist Nicholson Of
Nebraska, the city chemist of st. Louis,
the food commission of Minnesota, or
other reliable authority:
Baking Powders Containing Alum;
K. c.. .................C Contains Alum.

Bon Bon. Contains Alum
Grant Chemical Co, Chicago.

Beno & Balls, Portland.
In addition to these. 1t is learned that
many grocers are selling what they call
their own private or special brands.
These powders are put up for the gro
Ger and his name put upon the labels
by manufacturers of alum powders In
st. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City. Ia
coma. San Francisco and elsewhere.
The manufacturers, it is said, find their
efforts to market their goods in this
way greatly aided by the ambition of
the grocer to sell a powder with his
own name upon the label, espec ally
when the grocer can make an abnor-
NAL profit upon it. Many grocers,
doubtless, do not know that the pow
ders they are thus pushing are alum
powders which would be actually con-
traband in many sections if sold with
out disguise.
1t is quite impossible to give the
names of all the alum baking powders
in the market. They are constantly
appearing in all sorts of DISCUSSES, un-
der all kinds of cognomens, and at all
kinds of prices even as low as 5 and
10 cents pound. They can be avoid
ed, however, by the housekeeper who
will bear in mind that all baking pow
GERS sold at % cents or less per pound
are liable to contain alum, as pure
cream of tartar baking powders can
not be produced at anything like this
price.
