England gave the Duke of MARI

of the German people to Bismarck at

1t is argued that with such illus

Dewey need feel no hesitancy about
accepting the gift of the American
people. AS he is a widower, 1t might
be burden to him to have to maintain
a large establishment, but the men ir

themselves of his preferences, and the
fund the public is now raising will GER
tainly be put to good use.

Office Stool for the Kitchen,

Whether the Southern housewife is
more fond of her ease than her North
ern sister certain it is that one of her
lazy ideas should be copied by every
woman who must do prolonged work
in the kitchen. The introduction Of the
office stool into the kitchen is said to
have originated with Southern wo-
man, and now it is becominA quite gen.
orally understood that every well APP
pointed kitchen should contain at least
one office STOOL such as are used by
clerks who write at high desks.
This allows mistress OR maid to work
as readily sitting as standing at vari-
GUS employments, without that Weari-
some gesture. when sitting, of stretch
ing up the arms to a level with the
table or ironing board
Another important advantage is
that the feet rest upon it's rounds and
thus remove the weight of the body
from them. This in itself is more COM
Portable and refreshing than women are
accustomed to consider, and the ease
with which ore may turn about on the
revolving seat is wonderful convent
ence. The big days work" in the
kitchen at ironing, dshwashing and al
the ct ceteras, will not be followed by
that distress of aching feet, if this sens.
ible idea is tested.

T was nowhere anticipated that any
| action in the Butte council in the
direction of equipping the city with
governing force and board of execu-
tive officers would please the Miner.
Under the circumstances, that was not
expected.
For reasons that were purely per-
sonal Mr.. Clark's personal organ did
what 1t could to prevent the election
OF Mayor Mccarthy, who was the can
didate of democracy in Butte. Mr.. Nc
Carthy being mayor, in spite of the
Miners opposition, that newspaper
may be counted on, in it's unavailing
way. to do what it can to blockade the
Mccarthy administration.
One plea set up in behalf of the Clark
remnant in the city council is that the
combinations announced last Saturday
night are not a compliance with the
terms of the law governing matters of
this kind. Very well, let all things be
done in accordance with the law; Mayor
McCarthy's admfnistratio we doubt
not, has progressed thus far in accord
ance with what 1t believes to be its full
warrant under Montana's laws: it will,
we have no doubt. be guided by what,
according to an ascertainment of the
facts is found to h. the spirit and tho
letter of that which the common
wealth has ordained.
What the citizens of Butte want is
an orderly administration of the city's
affairs; that they frown at attempts
to break up the transaction of business
in the council chamber, goes without
saying. That the public is well pleased
with the arrangement that brings
Mayor McCarthy's administration into
working order, there can be no ques-
ton; the manifestations of popular sat
isfaction over the completed organza
ton have been seen on every hand since
Saturday night
However, if anybody raises the point
that motives or even public opinion car
have nothing to do with the law in the
case, that point is well-enough raised
Mayor Mccarthy is doing his end of the
sure finds favor with the public. bu
! if, with the best of intentions, he is no
moving according to law, there is &
manner whereby to ascertain thai
| fact-the issue can be forced in any ont
of dozen different ways.

The Precedents.

I !HEN the question was raised
y" as to the propriety of a gift
to Admiral Dewey, in the
name of the American people, the
Standard cited some of the instances
in which men of conspicuous merit in
this country, as well as citizens under
some of the governments in Europe,
have been made the recipients of pub
lie testimonials of the kind. Into this
rather interesting subject some of the
newspapers have been inquiring. The
presidents for what it is proposed to
do in the case of Admiral Dewey are
numerous and certainly, as will be
seen, they are good ones. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Chicago
Times-Herald has furnished the best
list of these presidents we have seen; :
passing public interest warrants a
presentation of the list.
Admiral Farragut, on coming to New
York, near the close of the war, was
presented with fifty thousand dollars
in government bonds, to be used for
the purchase and maintenance of a
home. He bought a house in New York
that is still owned and occupied by his
son. Rear Admiral Worden, COM
mander of the Monitor, was presented
with a house in Washington for his
victory over the Merrimac, and his
widow is supported by the rent of the
property.
General Grant, at the close of the
war, was given a home in WASHINGTON.
bought by popular subscription, and
when he became president it was
bought by another general purse and
presented to General Sherman, who
sold it in order to buy a home in ST
Louis, on removing to that CITY.
Houses in Galena, ILL.,. and in Philadel-
phia were also presented to General
Grant. Philadelphia also raised funds
for house for General Meade, and
after his death gave his family one
hundred thousand dollars
Chicago paid a notable tribute to
General Sheridan when he was made
commander of the army. Forty-five of
his friends subscribed one thousand
dollars each in a single day and fine
residence at Rhode Island avenue and
Seventeenth street in Washington was
bought for him. His widow still occu-
pies the house, and the property has
greatly increased in value. The widow

1t Was Dawson's Turn.

~ NE of yesterday mornings spe-
cial dispatches in the Standard
news gave exclusive informa-
ton to newspaper readers in this part
of the world of the fire that devastated
Dawson, the Alaskan metropolis. This
mornings more complete story of this
fire, which occurred on April 26, shows
that the fire was even more sweeping
than the first reports indicated-the
main portion Of the town is wiped out,
and it appears that the cause of the
destruction was drunken woman. In
view of the going price for building
material in the Dawson market the
confiagration must have a dispiriting
effect on the sufferers. 1t can hardly be
pleasant to gaze on a wreck of real
estate, said to comprise tWo-thirds of
the area of the town, knowing that
doors cost s35 apiece, locks IS apiece and
other articles in proportion. Still there
always will be pioneers and pioneer
towns. and some of the finest cities in
the world are the monuments of a res
direction after a sweeping conflagra-
ton or d series of such visitatons.
