"FRENCHY" REGAN'S SCARE
Found Two Murderers Dead in
Their Cells.
THE SHERIFF KNEW HIM
Aged Bootblack of Butte Who Was
Once Prominent Character in
Eastern Montana-Was
a Ltnguist.
/ THE SHERIFF KNEW HIM

'Frenchy'' Regain, the aged colored
boot black, who died in Butte Monday
night, was well known character among
the old timers in Montana and figured to
considera BILE extent in the early history
of the territory. Sheriff Conley knew
'Frenchy' in the eastern part of Mon
tanas 20 years ago, and recalls an incident
that happened there in which "Frenchy'
played a leading role. Tom Irvine was
.Frenchy''- was Jail cook. Prior to that
time he had been member of the Crow
tribe of Indians, in which tribe he was a
medicine man. Among whites and Indians
Regain was recognized as a. man of more
than ordinary intelligence and unswerv-
ments he was a linguist of no mean abil-
ity, speaking English. French. German
and Spanish, besides four or five Indian
dialects.
At the time "Frenchy'' was cook in the
Jail there were all kinds of tough charar-
ters confined behind the bars. among
them several murderers. Two eros Ven
tire Indians had been sentenced to be
hanged and extensive preparations were
in progress to give prominence to the
occasion. All things were ready for the
execution: scaffold rope and drop had
been tried and found to work perfectly
On the morning before the execution
"Frenchy'' went to the murderers cell,
taking them their breakfast. When he
started for the cell he was as black as
negro; when he returned to the Kitchen
a few moments later he was nearly
white, and was completely speeches. for
some time
The deputy sheriffs rushed into the Jail
to discover the cause of ''Frenchy's''
fright and found the two Gros ventre
murderers dead in their cells-both having
committed suicide-one by hanging him
self by a. rope made out of the blankets
in his cell and the other from a self-n-
flicted wound with some sharp instrument
which he had secreted about his person.
'Frenchy" left Miles City soon after
wards and since then had been a resident
of Butte. He was born on the Island of
Martinique. and was brought to the
United States as slave. During his
three score and ten years of life he saw
many hardships, but withal maintained
simple, inoffensive character and during
trying times between whites and Indians
he was never known as a vicious or dis
honest man, and in the councils of the
red men his voice was always raised in
favor of peace.

Worth Memarizinp

Don't make the mistake of weighing
advertising by what it costs.
It IS impossible to pay too much for
advertising-if it ~ays.
Nothing is cheaper than costly ad-
vertising that brings big, profitable re-
turns.
Nothing is more expensive than
cheap advertising that brings no re-
suits.
If a newspaper charges you so cents
line and every line brings you a dol
lar profit. you've got a regular Klon-
dixie.
If newspaper charges you SO cents
square foot, and you never hear from
it. you are pouring money into a rat
hole.
Advertising is merchandise.
Buy the kind you can make a profit
on, no matterswhat it costs.
Have nothing to do with the unprofit-
able kind, no matter{how low the price
is.-Bates. &tH

AGARRIsoNIAN TRADE.
AEuinaIdo Eulogized at n Meeting
in Boston.

Boston, July IS.-William Lloyd Garrison
addressed last night a new organization OF
colored people known as the Boston Color
ed Auxiliary of the National AntiImper
ialistic League Starting by saying how
fitting it was TO address meeting Of col
ored men on the question of liberty, as
they were examples of what freedom had
accomplished in a race, he attacked Sresi-
dent Mckinley and the Republican party.
He referred to the loyalty of the colored
men since the war to the party OF Lincoln
and Sumner. and to the great change which
had OF recent years come over the party,
which. he said, with all possible power in
its hands. permitted the constitutional
amendment to become dead letter south
of the Mason and Dixon line and allowed
the lynching of innocent negroes, crime
which the annals of barbarism could not
surpass. The party of William Mckinley
today" he said, resembles far more the
party OF James Buchanan than OF Abra-
ham Lincoln
Passing to the original aggression, as he
termed It. in the Philippines, he said the
party which formerly loosened the chains
of an enslaved race was now seeking OF
replace them on the necks of "Aguinaldo
and his brave band of fighting patriots"
He asked his hearers If they had any as
surance that the same volunteers who so
murderously shot down the unoffending
Filipino styled by them "niggers," would
not as readily turn their rifles on the col
ored men of this country should they dare
to stand up for their rights. The speaker
referred to the receptions planned for Ad-
miral Dewey as attempts to distract the
attention OF the people from the awful
crime which was being committed. In clos
ing Mr.. Garrison told his hearers that if
the imperialists denounced them as trail
tors TO sling back the epithets; to meet all
argument with denunciation.
Dr. Jerome Riley of Washington, Presi-
dent OF the National Colored Anti-Impe-
rialistic League. made an address on the
rights of colored men in general and those
of the South in particular and denounced
the Republican party for the war in the
Philippines. He became so bitter that the
crowd refused to stand it and finally Isaac
n. Allen, former member of the COVER
nor's council. made warm defence OF the
Republican party. Resolutions were final
ly passed denouncing lynehing and the
Philippine war.

MADE HALF-DoLLARS.
An Alleged Counterfciter Caught by
the Philadelphia Ponce.

Philadelphia, July 1S.-Lieutenant Little.
OF the Fifth police district, yesterday un-
earthed a counterfeiters den in the lodg-
ing house. No. 500 South Twenty-four
Street. and his men seized a full set of
paraphernslia used in the manufacture of
silver half-doliar counterfeits. William
Coleman. the alleged operator. was arrested
and locked up at the station-house for a
hearing before United States Commissioner
Craig this morning.
A large number of complaints have been
received by Lieutenant Little during the
past three weeks from people in the south
efn section OF the city who have been vic
timixed through spurious half-dollars. All
efforts to trace the source OF the circula-
ton 81 the bad money proved futile until
yesterday. when the police received infor-
nation that led them to suspect Coleman.
Special Policeman Escher and Pollock.
accompanied by Lieutenant Little, went to
the Twenty fourth Street house, and In
their search of the premises discovered the
counterfeiting outfit. consisting OF cruel
bles and molds, and several OF the bad
coins They also seized quantity of tin,
antimony and lead, which was used in the
making of the money.
Coleman. who was employed as Iaborer
at the grounds Of the National Export Ex-
position, moved into the house on Twenty
fourth Street about three weeks ago. and
II was at that time that the spurious coins
began to be put into circulation.

THREE HAGUE TREATIES.
Synopsis of Their Contents - Mr..
White Instructed to Sign Them.


Secretary Hay yesterday cabled instruc-
tions to Andrew D. White. Chairman of
the American delegation at The Hague,
to sign the treaties arranged by the Dis
armament Conference for the establish
ment of means by which nations may set
tie their differences without recourse to
arms. This action of the Secretary fol-
lowed the receipt from Mr.. White of
despatch giving a synopsis of the treaties,
three in number, which have been provis
ionally agreed to by the delegations OF
the various countries. One of these
treaties revises the rules of war concern
ing the succor Of officers and seamen,
wounded or otherwise in distress,
during and after engagements at
sea. Under this treaty three classes
of hospitals are granted immunity
from the enemies OF the countries
by which they are fitted out. These three
classes are national vessels bearing the
proper insignia, and having proper ere
dentials; private hospital ships fitted out
by benevolent societies or persons, and
hospital ships fitted out by neutral powers.
Another treaty makes new rules for the
conduct of war on land, defines who are
and who are not combatants, and pre-
scribes rules for the treatment of prison
ers of war. The third, and most import
ant, treaty relates to the adjustment of
differences between nations by peaceable
means Three schemes are defined. The
first relates to mediation by neutral pow
ers. the second provides for the establish
ment of international courts OF enquiry,
and the third for permanent arbitration

SIX YEARS FOR VALENTINE.
The Perth Amboy EmbezzIing Bank
Cnshicr Goes to Prison.

New Brunswick, n. j., July 1S.-George
NJ Valentine. the defaulting cashier of the
Middlesex Bank. at Perth Amboy. was
sentenced this afternoon to six years i'm
prisonment in the New Jersey State peni-
tentiary by Judge Woodbridge Strong, in
the Middlesex court
Valentine. with his wife. father. Robert
y Valentine and his uncle. Milford Val
entine, came into court shortly before 3
o'clock. All were in tC--z. Prosecutor
Voorhees, read two allegations against VAL
entine. one charging him with the en-
bezzlement of $4,000 from the Middlesex
County Bank, and another with the theft
of 81. eco from the Perth Amboy Savings
Institution. these being the two offences
Of which Valentine had acknowledged his
guilt.
]. H. Rice, counsel for Valentine, entered
a plea of non vult E. S. Savage. an uncle
of the prisoner, and the Valentine family
lawyer, made a strong appeal for mercy
for the young cashier. Judge Strong said
that under the LAW he could sentence Val
entipe to undergo seven years imprison-
ment and to a fine of $4,000 for each of
the two offences. but that taking his family
into consideration he would sentence him
charge, the two terms of Imprisonment,
however. to be concurrent. thus making
Valentines entire term of Imprisonment
si- years. When Valentine arose to receive
his sentence the color left his face, he
shuddered, and almost collapsed. and when
he resumed his seat he burst into tears.
One OF the experts at work on the books
of the wrecked Middlesex County Bank
stated this morning that so far as the ex-
animation had proceeded it had shown that
the amount OF Cashier Valentines defal-
cation was s2OS. GOO. The fact that the
amount of the defalcation has increased
steadily from the first estimate of $4,000
with the likelihood that it will keep on
growing. is exciting the depositors, and
they criticise the managers Of the bank.
They assert that while the bank officers
knew that the bank was the victim of an
embeZzler as early as Monday OF last
week, deposits were received right up to
Thursday afternoon, and some of these
were very large.
