wife reside during the sumne~ months

governor general and his family We're

means worthy of that nobl@man's eX-

Peterhoff, fine-sounding name, but ii
is now the office of the finance depart
ment, the chief secretary Of which usu-
ally lives in a portion of the building.
The present vice-regal lodge is an i'm
posing residence, which was iegun n
October, 1885, and finished in September,
1885, 1t cost, including furniture and
electric lighting arrangements, more
than 100000 rupees, or over GSO,OOO.
The stone was quarried within five
miles of the site and transported on
mules, the cut stone coming from Kali
ka, more than so mile away, at the foot
of the hills.
The timber, consisting of deodar, kali
walnut and oak, for the most part was
obtained in the forests in the neighbor-
ing hills, but Burmah teakwood, pur-
chased six or seven years before the
work was commenced, was used in the
joinery and in the main stairs and
floors of the state rooms. Many of the
simpler articles of furniture were made

ground level of the main block, being
built on the side of a precipice. The
style throughout is English renaissance
(Elizabethan), and the masonry is OF

The first impression on entering the
main hall is highly pleasing, the in
terror and staircase being for the great
err part carried out in teak, deodar and

height of the house, 80 feet high and 30
feet long, but it's breadth is only IL

the ball room, from which it is divided
only by heavily draped curtains.
There is a Veryhandsome bay window
to the north of the ball room, and in
the south an opening also draped with

A NOVEL IDEA.
A Suggestion for the Coinage of the FRS,
Year of the Century.

The following unique and original
idea finds a champion and indorser in
a Well-knOwn Butte saloon man at
whose request it is republished from the
New York Journal:
Mrs. Ella May Clemmons, a sister of
Mrs. Howard Gould, has novel prop
osition to lay before the American peo-
pie. She suggests that all coins made
during the first year of the new century
bear on their faces a likeness of Christ,
and on the reverse side the crucifiX.
" Christianity has made America
said Mrs. Clemmons, and to-day is
pushing her onward. In gratitude TO
God, who has so long sustained and
guided us, we, as a nation, should for
one year, the first year of the new CEN
fury, have stamped on all of our coins
the face of the Redeemer What more
fitting indication to the world that We
are indeed a Christian people?
q" This idea came to me last Sunday
while in church. If it be carried out,
not alone would our Lord be honored-
think of the many who would be con-
Nerted through the mere handling of
coins Think, too, what a preventive
the coin might be against crime. Would
not the most rascally of men hesitate
TO snatch from the hand of the orphan
his last dollar if the coin bore the like
ness of the Savior? Would not the gam
bier check his impulse to throw coin
on the gaming table if it was the date
| of 1901? I believe people of all classes
would respect the coins bearing the
image of Jesus too much to prostitute
them for purposes of sin. Let us try
this idea for one year. May be at the
end of that time the American people
will demand that such coinage be con-
tlnued. American coins are stamped
with the benefactors of the country.
Why not one years coins be stamped
with the image of the Great Benefac-
tor of all mankind?'

KLOND|KE TIM IN BUTTE
First White Boy Born in the
Great Gold District.
THE IDOL OF THE CAMP
His Parents Were From the Smoky Citv.
A Perilous Trip Over the Passes.
Found an Eight-Pound
Nugget.

"Klondike Tim" is the rather high
sounding title of an individual from the
frozen north who is just now paying a
visit to Butte. He has not come to see
the mines, for he is not interested in
Butte to that extent just yet, and, be-
sides, it is to be assumed he carries
the idea they have some pretty good
mines in his own great mining camp on
the klondike. He is rather diminutive
TO sport so big a soubriquet, being con-
siderably less than three feet tall and
weighing not more than so or 60 pounds
but he is good deal of character
just the same and is person of some
Importance in Dawson City, the place
of his nativity, for he enjoys the dis
unctlon OF being the first white boy
born in the klondike region
'Klondike Tim is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Timothy Crowley, who were form
erly residents of Butte, but who are
now citizens of Dawson. Mr. and Mrs
Crowley left Butte early in 1897 to go to
the Klondike. They journeyed from
Dyea over the pass and down the lakes
by dog team, Mrs. Crowley accompany
ing her husband, trudged through the
snow over the Chilkoot trail and then
rode on sled hauled by the dogs down
the lakes till the Yukon was reached
BY that time the ice was out of the
river and the rest of the journey was
made by boat. The weather was bit
terly cold from Dyea to the river, but
there was hope in the resolute woman
heart and an abundance of furs wrap
ped around her and she says she Id
not feel the cold and experienced nc
hardships on the then perilous journey
They slept in a tent pitched on THE ict
at night and Travelled by day. and on
the whole Mrs. Crowley says she rather
enjoyed the novelty of the trip.
On Nov. of that year a boy was
born ito Mr. and Mrs. Crowley. He
was not the first white child born in
Dawson City, a girl having previously
been born to the wife of another miner
but he was the first white boy and the
event was an Important one in the
northern city. Mr.. Crowley had made
many friends among the miners during
the months of the couples residence at
Dawson prior to the advent of the child
and the hardy miners made much OF
the occasion. The boy was named af-
ter his father and the miners at once
dubbed him "KlOndike Tim" and made
him the idol of the camp. There was a
big excitement among his miner friends
when Tim Crowley came down one
morning and told the boys he had found
an eight-pound nugget. 1t was big
BUSINESS and a procession at once head
ed for his cabin to view the great fnd.

looked on as the premier judge of Eng

thoroughly capable as a coursing jUdg4
was proved by his reelection by the
Altcar committee for the Waterloo
meeting last season. In 1895 it was his
beast that he had been in the saddle
at coursng meetings every month but
July. Up to April, and again from Sep
TENDER to December he was fully oc-
cupied in England; while in May, June
and August, in the same year, he act

StroganOff was then doing his utmost
to populariZe coursing. Mr.. Brice,
therefore, established quite a new rec
ord. N. X. Wentworth, another pop
ular judge, is not now often seen in the
saddle, but he is the oldest living Off
cial, for he first acted as judge in 1864,
and had then been an ardent follower
of the sport for many years. He is
still great authority on coursing in
his native county, Berkshire.
