The Butte ministerial association held
It's regular meettn- yesterday and fur

league. The comm'loo which had been
appointed two weeks ago to consider The
adVlsability of organizing such league
made partial report to the effect that
they had talked wirH many business and
professional men in lie city and received
much encouragemrUt vet while the Idea
OF such league met with general in
dorsement there were not many men who
cared to be actively or personally identi-
fled with such movement. Several of
the ministers expr ssod themselves in ia
vor of a league in the interest of law and
order, but did not favor an organization
on the broad lincs followed by similar
leagues in other circs where particular
attention is given to the prosecution and
punishment of lawbrrakers 1t was argued
that the objects of tine Butte league if or
ganized, should be more of an educational

Uncle Sam Pays the Freight.


W aSllnglON Letter IN the New YORK
World
Two or three evenings ago one of the
assistant secretaries of a prominent de-
partment came out of Harry Rapley's
National theater after witnessing an
evenings performance, humming May r.
wins famous ditty, He Certainly Was
Good to Me-
AS he reached the curbston the theater
carriage man in livery bawled out: "As-
sistant Secretary IS carriage"
A handsome vehicle, drawn by two sleek
horses, rolled up and the assistant secre-
tary jumped in.
"To the Regent" he said to his driver.
After spending a half hour or more in the
Regent cafe the official came out and di-
rected the driver to take him home This
was about midnight The carriage is the
property of Uncle Sam and the driver is
also in his pay. And here was the official
enjoying himself while the government
paid the freight"
Uncle Sam was certainly good to this
official But in fact, he is good to all his
prominent officials Every man in high
station, from the president down to the
assistant secretaries and chiefs of big bu-
reaus, is furnished with a carriage by the
government. The supposition, however
is that they are to be used only for Off
cial business.

REMEMBER THE SOLDIERS.
Fund for the Butte Companies Continues
to Gain.

The Maine has been remembered. The
watchword now should be Remember the
soldiers The people of Butte are doing
well in the way of raising funds for the
relief of the Butte companies who are
fighting at Manila. 1t is hoped that few
hundred ollars more may be raised. Many
of the Butte boys have been wounded.
others are sick in the hospital and all are
suffering intensely from the terrible heat
at this season of the year. A dollar that
you will not miss will give some Butte
soldier comfort which he is now denied.
Leave your subscriptions at the Standard
office. Don't neglect to subscribe because
you can only give small sum. The sub
scription is popular one and many small
subscriptions are better than a few big
ones. Bring in your so cents or your dol
lar and the money will be promptly cred
tied and forwarded
The Musicians union is arranging for
splendid entertainment to be given soon
for the benefit of the Butte soldiers. The
union will pay all the expenses of this en-
tertainment and will give the entire pro-
ceeds to the cause. They should receive
generous assistance

IN A SORE DILEMMA
She Has Two Husbands and Is Not Living
With Either.

She Has Two huSDandS ana Is NOT Living
With Either.
Mrs. Charles Sweet, who resides at
No. II South Oklahoma street, is, ac-
cording to her own admission, in a
sore dilemma. She told Chief Deputy
County Attorney Cornelius Kelly yes
terday that she had committed matri-
mony two times. Her first husband
whose name she did not reveal, she
said disappeared one day and remained
away SO long that she concluded that
he had gone off and died. Accordingly
she met Charles Sweet and became his
wife. After her marriage with Sweet
her troubles began, she says. The
startling news came to her one day
that her first husband was still alive
Then she explained the situation to
Sweet and advised him to leave her at
once. This he refused to do, and more
trouble followed. Words led to the
inevitable and Mrs. Sweet received a
whipping at the hands of Sweet, so
she says. She says she is the mother
of four children.
Mr.. Kelly filled out a complaint and
told her to file it in Justice Harring-
tons court, which she did. Constable
Harrington of that court at late hour
last night had not arrested Sweet. The
charge is assault in the third degree.
Now Mrs. Sweet has two husbands
and is not living with either of them.

ausrLe OF THE pErr,ooAr.s
1t Is No Longer to Be Heard in the
Land,

1t Is No Longer to Be Heard in the
Land.
Will the silk petticoat really fall.int
the state of oblivion described by eek
President Cleveland as .innocuous
desuetude?" Its fate seems to hang in
the balance.
For several months past it has been
the important item in every fashion
discussion. In fact, its seductive frou-
frou has disturbed the usual calm of
feminine clubland and even invaded the
serenity of the pulpit.
Far and wide the opinion is expressed
that the rustic of the silk petticoat has
been too much heard in the land.
AS the aftermath of all this criticism,
rumor has gone forth that the silk
petticoat has seen it's best days and is
slowly. but surely, receding toward
fashions remotest horizon.
Following this comes the report that
ultra fashionable women are already
vowing allegiance to noiseless, utterly
unpicturesque silk tights. And the
truth of the matter is not to be found in
either statement The silk petticoats
newly imported for spring are more
beautiful, more elaborate and more cost
ly than ever before, and more popular
too-but only for certain occasions.
This is the interesting fact-that wo-
men in the future will wear their ex-
dui9itC al tlSlES VI iluSeIleS pllly WHEN
they can be properly and effectively
worn-that is, for carriage, for theater,
visiting and all sorts of home purposes
But for street wear, for all kinds of
outdoor sports in fact always with
tailor made suit, silk tights will be
worn, or sltin-tight black satin trousers
The newest importation of tights shows
them in every pale shade, pink, blue
and violet, and always to match the
corset.
In reality there is not the slightest
rivalry between the silk petticoat and
silk tights The tights will supplement
the petticoat, not supersede it.
AS for the much discussed rustic
it is certainly less in evidence. Softer
silks are coming more in vogue. not only
for pettcoats but for skirt Innings, and
the aggressive defiant whirr of thick
taffeta silk is no longer the sure herald
of fashionable femininity. The silks
now in demand are soft brocade, China
silk. crepe de chine, peau de sole, NOUS
seine de sole and gros grain.
1t was really much cheaper to rustic,
as the club women will find to their
sorrow.
In connection with the wearing of pet
ticoats it is well to notice that short
flannel or muslin skirts are not worn at
all, and there is no substitute for them.
Modistes and taiOrs both declare that
they spoil the set of skirt, ruin the
sheath-lille effect about the knees, and,
where they end, break the long, pretty
lines of skirts which artists so much ad-
mire.
AS rule fashionable women have all
their gowns fitted over tights, even
those that are to be worn with the f1uf-
fest of silk skirts. They declare that
the perfection of fit cannot be attained
in any other way. 1t is certainly an ex-
cellent plan for portly matrons of I'M
certain avoirdupoiS.

PRACTICALLY SETTLED.
Benoit's Check VIII Probably Be Re-
turned to Him.

The trouble between Contractor Benoit
and the board of school, trustees over
$1,000 certified check has been practically
settled and the school board, it is under
Stood will surrender the check without
further controversy over it. The suit of
Benoit against the board to recover pos
session of his check had been set for trial
in Judge Lindsay's department of court
tomorrow, and yesterday afternoon John
w. Cotter, representing Benoit, and
County Attorney Connolly, appearing for
the school board asked the court to va
cate the setting. The statement was made
that the case had been practically settled
and that it only needed the action of the
board at its meeting tonight.
About a year ago the board advertised
for bids for the erection of new school
building. Benoit was the lowest bidder
and the contract was awarded to him.
When he came to enter into a contract
he discovered that the board expected him
to include heating plant in his contract
to complete the building. Benolt claimed

IN THE DISTRICT COURT
Fees Must Now be Paid for
Naturalization Papers.
BEFORE JUDGE LINDSAY
A Verdict for the Defendant in the
Partition Suit of Mary Ann
Hurley Against Patrick
O'Neil

Clerk Clark of the district court yes
terday received a notice from the sec
rotary of state that the recent legis-
lature had passed a law, which was
approved by the governor. amending
section 4613 of the political code rela-
tive to naturalz ation by which a fee
of $3.50 must be hereafter collected for
each final citizenship paper taken out
in the state. The law became effective
on the 22d of February. Declarations
of intentions can still be made without
payment of fee. Under the code pro-
visions in force prior to the 22d of Feb
ruary, citizenship papers were more
free than pure air in Butte, but prior
to the codes going into effect a fee of
81 was collected for first papers and 50
for final papers.
In Judge Lindsay's court the trial of
the partition suit of Mary Ann Harley
against Patrick O'Neil was concluded
yesterday and the jury gave a verdict
for the defendant. They found that
O'Nel and Dennis Sullivan had owned
the property, which is located on North
Montana street. and that they entered
into an agreement for a division by
and Sullivan the east, and each i'm
proved his portion under that agree
ment Mrs Hurley acquired her inter-
est under that arrangement, and the
jury held that she is bound by it.
A suit of the Montana Bill Posting
and Ad-Sisn company against w. E.
Kendrick and the City Bill Posting
company had been set for trial yester-
day, but the defendant kendrick failed
to show up and a default judgment
was entered against him. Kendrick
had sold out his bill posting business
to the plaintiff, and the latter sued to
enjoin him from engaging in similar
business in Butte and for 800 dam
ages.
The $25, 900 note case of Fred Radue
against Cyril Pauwelyn came up yes
terday morning before Judge Clancy
on the defendants judgment on the
pleadings, which was sustained by the
court, and judgment for costs entered
against the plaintiff. A stay was
granted for so days upon the plaintiff
filing a 5000 bond.
In the damage suit of J. A. Riddell
against George l.. Ramser, the defend
ant yesterday filed motion for a
change of venue to Lewis and Clarke
county. A demurrer to the complaint
was also filed on the ground that the
charges of fraud and conspiracy were
ambiguous and unintellgible.

WELL DESERVED.
Great Satisfaction Expressed Over the
Appointment of Richards.


Very great satisfaction was express
ed in this city last evening over the ap
pointment by the president of Homer
G. Richards of this city as second
lieutenant in the regular army, the APP
pointment being made under the new
law. Lieutenant RickardSis one of the
most popular young men of Butte, hav-
ing been here almost from infancy.
He is a son of Ex-Governor J. E. Rick
ards He was one of the favorite men,
bers of the Butte football team. When
war was declared last spring he en-
listed as private. He has since then
advanced to the position of first lieu
tenant in the ranks of G company and
is brigadier commissary on the staff
of General Otis. His appointment as
second lieutenant in the regular army
is we'll deserved and should be espe-
cally gratifying to his friends mas
much as it was unsolicited.

he wished to have the words, Lord she

afraid there would not be room for the
words, but the bereaved widower insisted
and the carving was put in hand The
