NEW FIRE STATION.
The Matter Discussed at Meeting of the
Committees.

The Matter Discussed at a Meeting of the
Committees.
A joint meeting of the light and build
ing and fire and water committees CT the
city council was held at the city hall last
evening to consider the matter of going
ahead with the proposed new fire station
at the corner of Arizona ana Mercury
streets the building of which was post
poned till spring at the time the cold
weather set in last fall. The cost IF the
building was the chief phase of the CUES
ton considered. 1t will be remembered
that an appropriation of $4,000 for the
construction of the building was made
but when bids were asked for the lowest
bid was nearly $4,000.
1t was the opinion of the aldermen
present that if possible the building should
be kept within the appropriation and
Architect William White who drew the
plans and who was present. stated that
he thought it could be. After a full dis
cussion it was decided to be advisable
to go ahead with the building as soon
as the weather will permit, and a sub
committee was appointed consisting of
Mayor Harrington, Chairman Knowlton
of the light and building COMMITTEES,
committee and Aldermen Melcher ana
Rowan who will make a thorough IN
quiry to ascertain the lowest possible
cost at which the building can be erected
and report at another meeting of the two
committees which was set for next Sat
urday night.

IN The BANKRUPT COURT
Two Cases With Strikingly Sim
liar Features.
PRACTICALLY NO ASSETS
Liabilities Way Up in the Thousands.
Creditors Are Wondering What
They Will Get Out
nf r.

The creditors of F. A. Bartlett, who
until recently conducted the gentle
mems furnishing store in the Lizzie
block, and Marcus Mautz, who few
weeks ago sold his saloon to j. v. Pet
ritz of Anaconda, are wondering how
they are going to get the money due
them from these bankrupts. The cases,
:. as far as the proceedings in the court
OF bankruptcy are concerned, are strik-
ingly familiar. The combined assets Of
both petitioners as scheduled amount
to little more than the price of pack
age of cigarettes, while their liabilities
Gre up in the thousands. Bartlett sold
Ms stock, ETC., to Ras Rochester for
$4,000, paid the First National bank
$1,000 and turned the balance over 20
his wife who, he says, held first
claim on the money, she having ad-
vanced about $1,000 to the business.
Mautz sold out for good-slzed figure
and his assets are composed of Il few
book accounts, and his liabilities are
Numerous.
Mr.. Mautz told his troubles to Ref
cree Thompson Campbell last night.
He said that for some time prior to
the sale of his business to the Anacon-
da Brewing company, his bartender
and others he owed made life miserable
for him by continually asking him to
pay them off. They told me that I
must pay or they would close me out,
saying at the same time that they
would find buyer for me- / told them
II they would find a purchaser l would
sell out and satisfy their claims That's
why I sold out for 1,00O'
Mautz said that he had no property
left after selling out, excepting book
accounts amounting to 81, 445.S5. The in
debtedness now is $3,950.66. 1t appears
that as soon as he received the $1,000
he satisfied the claims Of his persist
ent creditors. who were F. Staranish,
$3.50: Pete Sneller, 5000; j. Kambreck
& Co, rent. $3.50; J. Pohich, 500; F.
Robida, $40: Callick & Co., SIS; II.
Wolff, $40: Caplice & Co., $40; North
western Bottling works, $40; Electric
Light company, $3.50.
Those who are yet to be paid are the
Milwaukee Brewing company of Dem
yer, $1,000; Centennial Brewing COM
pany, $96; b. Gallick & Co., 5000: Ital-
han-Swiss Agricultural colony, $214; M
Blumenthal & Co., 500; together with
some minor local creditors. Mautz said
that before he decided to petition for
papers in bankruptcy he notified most
of his creditors Of the step which he
was about to take and also said that
when he sold out ne did not anticipate
bankruptcy proceedings. His place of
business was No 436 Watson evenue.
He conducted a saloon.

HELLIsH SULPHUR SMOKE.
The Exodus to the Cemeteries Is In
creasing Again.

The Exodus to the Cemeteries Is In
creasing Again.
The hellish sulphur smoke from the
Butte Reduction Works and other Of
Tending smelters has been smothering
the city for several days again and yes
terday afternoon and last night it was
as strong and as yellow and thick as
at any time this winter, The official
organ of the reduction works, however,
says the smoke is all right; that healthy
people get fat on it, and that it kills
only persons with weak lungs and deli
cate threats. The same organ also in
Inmates that any one that does not like
the smoke can leave the city. They
are leaving; indeed, the exodus to the
cemeteries has been increasing again,
as it always does after few days of
sulphur smoke, and the hospitals are
crowded and homes are filled with suf-
ferers from pneumonia. Still the courts
and the authorities are dared to en-
force the law against the death-dealing
sHelters Public patience and endur-
ance is a wonderful jewel Wonder how
long people will choke and suffer and
see their families and friends die be-
fore they come to a realizing sense that
there Is no longer any virtue in their
patience and suffering, and will rise UP
and strange something or somebody
and put an end to it?

Trains Are Again Moving on the Mon
tana Central.
The Great Northern road was dug out
of the snow drifts yesterday and the
trains in and out of Butte began NOV
ing again last night. Tie flyer from ST
Paul, which was due at 1920 Friday
night, got into Butte at 7:05 last even
ing, but Thursday nights flyer gave
up the struggle and turned around at
Clancy and went back The flyer due
last night may get in some time to-
day. Early last evening 1t was reported
IL hours late. The train which arrived
at 7:05 last evening brought a great
load of passengers and mail which had
accumulated at Helena and piled up
between Boulder and Clancy. The train
went on through to Anaconda and
turned around and went through Butte
going east at 1910 o'clock. Some of
the local trains on the Montana Cen
trail were moving last evening, too, and
will begin running regularly again this
morning or at least that was the inten-
ton last night.

WOMEN OF FREED CUBA.
Their Social Life on the Beautiful Tropi-
cal Island.

cal Island.
The social life Of Cuba will be a SUBJ
ject of interest to many prospective
travellers to that lovely land of tropical
warmth and plenty.
In the higher walks of Cuban society
ladies never appear anywhere in pub
lie without an escort, either male or
female. If G lady be accompanied by
man. he must be husband, brother
or near relative; otherwise the judg-
ment passed upon her will be even more
harsh than if she had no escort at ali.
1t is further to be noted that no matter
now well one may know Cuban or res
ident Spaniard in a business or social
way he will not be invited to meet the
ladies of the family until his character,
history and position in society are
thoroughly known. Even then he will
never be permitted to see the unmar-
RED women alone. Letters of intro
duction are not readily given to men
to be presented to ladies, for the rea-
son that he who gives them, though
they be couched in most reserved Ian
suage, considers that he practically
guarantees every future act of the re-
cipient. With the Cubans Sunday is
feast day. given up to the social en-
joyments after the religious duties of
the morning have been performed.
Certain saints days, on the other hand,
must be seriously observed, and func-
tons which would be permissible on the
Sabbath would be severely reprobated
on such anniversaries. It is on Sun
day that the cock fights and bull fights
take place. American women may be
surprised to find that Cuban gentlemen
smoke anywhere without asking per-
mission of the ladies, either at the cafes,
hotels, residences or even in the ordfn-
airy street cars The only restriction
on the privilege of smoking Is imposed
at the theaters, and even there one may
indulge in it in the corridors. Another
custom not peculiar in Cuba. being fol-
lowed everywhere on the continent of
Europe, although not in the United
Kingdom, is that at public tables in
the cafes or hotels a Well-bred Cuban
never takes a seat without asking per-
mission, perhaps simply by a sort Of
interrogative bow, of those who may
be already seated there. A similar sal
utation is made upon taking leave. OF
social visiting there is a great deal
among both Spaniards and Cubans, but
the private dinners and balls are COM
paratively few. The American visitor
calling upon a Cuban family should
never disturb the cane-seated chairs
which are ranged with the greatest reg
ularity along the walls of the recep-
ton room. Finally, the color line is
not so closely drawn in Cuba as 1t is
in the United States and education,
wealth and personal worth generally
determine a natives position, without
regard to the possible presence of col
ored blood in his veins.
