shown very good time by the home boys
who entertained them at the theater in
the afternoon and in the evening made
them their honored guests at ball given
at Renshaw hall.
Provided the elements do not again in

yell "Play ball." the game will be played
at Athletic park this afternoon The
home boys had men at work yesterday
scraping the snow off the diamond and
when cleared the ground was found to be
in good condition With any sort of
weather there is no reason why a close
and exciting game should not be seen.

excellent sport a big crowd is expected to
witness the ball game of the season, which
is to be for the scholastic championship

EXCHANGE NOT A TRUST
The Other Side of the Con tractors
Controversy.
AN EXPLANATION MADE
The Silver Bow Builders Exchange
Organized for the Purpose OF Plac-
ing the Building Business on
a Responsible Basis.
To the Editor of the Standard:

To the Editor of the Standard:
Referring to the article in the Stand
ard this morning, entitled "a Vigorous
Opposition" in which the Silver Bow
Builders exchange was criticised, the
exchange has never said that its men,
bership comprised all the building con-
tractors, competent or otherwise, in
Butte. 1t does say that the great ma
jority of the competent building con-
tractors of Butte in all lines are MEM
bers of the exchange. Of the names
mentioned in the article referred to as
chief movers. in the opposition to the
builders exchange, all have applied for
membership in this organization with a
full knowledge of the rules and objects
Of the exchange, and some have actual
ly signed their names to the charter
membership roll. Some of these are not
| members, simply because of their fail
ure to qualify by paying the few dol
| lars required from each member to pay
| the necessary expenses incurred. Some
have been kept out pending investiga-
| tons of charges against them of unfair
dealings in business matters and others
on account of disputes between them
selves and their fellow craftsmen in
their own lines.
The exchange denies that any effort
| is made by this organization to raise
| prices or to place work in the hands of
any particular contractor. In proof of
| this the bills on work for which both
| the exchange members and the social
| ed outsiders" have made estimates are
cited: The Blackboard house. William
White, architect, for which % bids We're
submitted. OF these q were by ex-
| change members and seven by outsld-
| ers. The aggregate of the lowest is-
| ures by exchange members, comprising
the whole house, was $32 lower than the
| aggregate of the lowest outside figures
! covering the same work. The Gallick
& Gansburger house, William White,
architect, upon which the exchange fig
ures We're $3.50 lower than the outside
bids. The Conroy house, Passmore s.
| Co., architects, where the exchange bids
were sS9 lower than those of the out
side The McRae & Solverson house,
| Passmore & Co., architects, for which
| the exchange bids were $37 lower than
outside figures. The Tallant & Jones
job. for which the exchange bids were
$16S lower than the outside figures, and
| this was for foundation masonry only.
The Silver Bow Builders exchange is
not trust in any particular, and is
organized for the purpose of placing the
| building business upon a responsible
basis:
First, by requiring of it's members a
| high degree of skill, responsibility and
fair dealing and thereby making a
| membership a reasonable guarantee to
| the public on these three important
| points.
| Second, by providing a place of bust
ness for its members where they can
meet each other and their customers for

From the New York Herald.
Stored in the cedar chest have you
an old fashioned, square, Chantilly
lace shawl, such as your grandmother
Wore about so years ago, when she was
dressed in her Sunday best? If you
have. hasten to get it out, take it to
your modiste and use it for one of your
Sunday best gowns this summer.
This exquisite old style Of lace, with
it's delicate tracery of vines and flow
ers, is now the piece de resistance in
the modish woman's wardrobe. 1t may
be made over white, and then it is
most effective, or it may be used over
one of the many fashionable shades of
blue, green, violet or rose.

A Curious Postal System.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
In certain parts of Sweden, where
the most absolute confidence is reposed
in the honesty of the people, a very
informal postal system is in vogue.
AS the mail steamer reaches q landing
place a man goes ashore with the let
tiers, which he places in an unlocked
box on the pier. Then the passer-by
who expects a letter opens the box,
turns over the letters and selects his
own, unquestioned by any one.

TWO YOUNG THIEVES.
Stole Centennial Bottles and Sold Them
to the Company.

to the Company.
Two boys. William Weinke and another.
whose name was given as John Doe, were
unprecedented yesterday in AN amusing
though highly reprehensible piece of CHI
canery. which resulted in their arrest for
petit larceny. The Centennial brewery
makes the practice of buying empty beer
bottles and boys make it favorite means
of earning money to collect bottles and
sell them at the uptown office of the
company. The bottles are taken to the
brewery and stored until needed. These
two youngsters, becoming aware of the
facts, hit upon what they evidently re-
garded as a scheme for making money as
easily as the Bidwells ever invented, If
on a smaller scale. They would go out
as they could carry away and come into
town and sell them at the uptown office.
The boys are known to have sold the
same bottles over and over again, but
the brewery people allowed the practice
to go on, expecting to catch the boys
dead to rights. This the brewery men
succeeded in doing yesterday. Mr.. Best.
one of the officers, swore out a warrant In
Justice Nichols court and Constable
Curly Rhodes went out to the brewery
and brought the boys in. They furnished
bonds for their appearance tomorrow.
Elmer Ensmnger and Pete Normandi.
the two men accused of robbing the cabin
of Dan Mudd on the Big Hole some time
ago, were arraigned before Justice Mich
OILS yesterday for burglary. They de-
manded a preliminary hearing, which was
set for May /. and as they were unable to
furnish bonds. they were remanded to
the custody of the sheriff.

Non-union negroes and other men employed by Brush at the mines near F'redOnia became crazed over the killing of woman yesterday and went to the camp, which consists of nine houses, and opened fire, which was at once returned. The battle ragged until the union miners ran from their homes and took refuge in a clump of timber close to the village.
 The non-union men at once applied the torch to the houses and all were burned to the ground After the men had destroyed considerable property previously occupied by union men, they moved on the woods and until daylight fusilade was kept up. No lives have so far been reported lost in the engagement at Union Cty The union miners have been arriving at the scene of trouble all night and the outcome must be a long-drawn-out battle,

 Preceded by guards, Dreyfus en- tered the prison, was cons: :gned to the care of the government and was taken to a cell on the second story. The governor of the prison sent Mime. Dreyfus news of the arrival of her husband and she immediately went to the government authorities and asked for permission to see the prisoner. Leave was granted and the faithful wife entered the prison almost unob- served and was conducted to cell No. 830, accompanied by Madame Havet. The meeting between the long parted husband and wife was most touching. They remained long clasped- in each others arms, tears and smiles inter minglfng with tender endaaTments. Up to noon there has been no sign of any public demonstration.
 Madame Dreyfus issued from the prison in a state of collapse. She found her husband much aged, with beard and hair wkitened and his body shrunken and stopped. She said Drey- fus knew nothing of the events of the past two years.
