a mystery unsolvable perhaps even by
herself until the occasion is presented.
The Baltimore American fondly hopes
that the Baltimore girls are proof
against the European plan of courtship.
"Baltimoreans for themselves it says,
will plead their youth and inexperience
in excuse; perhaps, as they grow older,
they will get to know better. But, just
at present, they are confessedly igno-
rant of the subtler refinement of a
higher civilization that, in looking for
wives. sends an agent from one house
to another to beat the bushes with
matrimonial shorter catechism. Balti-
morcans are too fashioned not to
hold somewhat tenaciously to such awk-
ward and obsolete commodities as deli
cacy and self-respect, too provincial
and too unenlightened to grasp the
beauty and utility of a system that ped
dies husbands from door to door as one
would peddle soap or shoe strings!"
The American should not be too sure
about that We have notion that the
Baltimore girl is as uncertain a crea-
ture, as great riddle, as any other girl

this decision of the federal board be re-
versed, as unjust and inconsistent with
the fraternity now established upon
the ruins of a demolished sectionalism.
He has demanded equal rights for
equal bravery. equal privileges for the
fallen American soldier regardless of
the color of his uniform. This plea is
made especially in behalf of Pickett's
men, whose desperate assault upon the
Union lines while exposed to a devas-
tating fire challenged the admiration
of the world and elected the wonder
ing tribute of the boys in blue who
witnessed the magnificent but hopeless
enterprise. 'Will General Butterfield,"
asks the Utica Observer, find the
American people responsive to his de-
mand that Pickett's men be given the
privilege of marking appropriately
those spots within the Union lines
where General Armisted, Virginia's
hero; Garnett, also of the Old Domin-
ion: Pender and Avery of North Caro-
lima; Semmes Of Georgia, and other Of
ficers who led in that defiance of fate
fell in conflict the result of which
broke the back of the rebellion?' We
believe he will" The time is ripe for
the concession. 1t would be fitting
sign of the EZRA of good feeling

Miss Roy Rockman.

1t is of immense advantage to the
representation that Miss Roy Rockman
impersonates the Countess Mirtza
Crorkoff. who, calculating and farsee-
ing as she is. has allowed herself to fall
under the sway of Cupid. The part is
excellently written and as excellently
played. Indeed, Miss Rockman, by
her courtly manners, her wonderful
power of expression, which alternates
between womanly gent1eness and fierce,
malicious determination, give a tone
and power to the character that cannot
fail to convince one of her intellectual
ity, as we'll as her powers as an ac-
tress. The representation is deeply in
teresting hroughout-London Era.

County Commissioners,

Missoula, June 6.-The county COM

o'clock. All were present, Commits
sioner Russell arriving this morning
from his home at Eddy. The report of

ined and found correct. The bids for
the county printing, which was to take
effect next August and run for two
years. We're opened. There were three
bids presented-the Democrat Messen-
ger, the Missoula Publishing company
and the Fruit Grower Publishing COM
pany. The Missoulian's bid was for all
publications other than rule and fig
ure work, SO 1-c per cent less than the
rate fixed by the code as statutory
rates. For all publications consisting
of rule and figure or other open work,
80 per cent. less than rate fixed by the
code as statutory rates. For all blanks
or similar work provided for in Nle
code, 45 per cent less than the rates
fixed by the code as statutory rates.
For all blank books as provided for in
the code, whether blank, printed head
ing, printed pages, etc, 40 per cent less
than statutory rates.
The bid of the Fruit Grower Publish
ing company made a rate of 20 per cent
off of the legal rate for all publications,
blank books and blanks.
The Democrat Messengers bid read
that for all advertising, straight set
ting, 25 per cent less than legal rate.
For open or figure and rule work. 20
per cent less than legal rate. For
blanks, etc, 35 per cent less than legal
rates. For blanks books, plain or
printed, 80 per cent. less than legal
rate.
The bids were rejected on the ground
that they were too high and new bids
will be called for.

ing about 300 bills presented to the
county by persons who have performed
some act emitting them to pay, or for
merchandise furnished at different

HE Baltimore American tells OF
young nobleman who has his
headquarters in that city while
he is making a business of hunting for
a wife. His mother is with him to act
in an advisory capacity, and a woman
agent has been engaged to do the ad-
vance skirmishing. Having obtained a
list of eligible girls, the nobleman gives
it over to the agent, whose work seems
TO be laid out on these lines: She calls
upon the young women mentioned, in
PRODUCES herself and the subject at the
same time, puts the "eligibles" through
their PAGES, and, after winnowing dill
gently, hands those who have passed a
satisfactory examination over to be pro-
nounced upon by the supreme court
consisting of the nobleman and his
mother.
1t appears that the agent does her
work very Systematically. She asks for
mademoiselle at the door, and made
moiselle descends, imagining that she is
about to interview someone who desires
to make shirt waists or mend china.
The counts representative, however,
does not leave her long in doubt, but
meets her with the stern question:
How much money have your" How
| old are you?" and DO you wish to get
married." She then announces the pos
| sible beatitude in store for made
| n.oiselle, in event of her measuring up
to the high standard required. This is
an actual fact, impossibly absurd as it
may SEEM and still ones wonder grows
as one thinks of human beings existing
who are so devoid of all sense of humor,
as well as of all sense of the eternal
fitness of things
| Whether the nobleman will find a
satisfactory wife on this extraordinary
| plan-a wife possessing the requisites
| of youth, beauty and wealth, may seem
extremely improbable at first glance,
but one can never tell about these
| things. The laws governing the female
! sex are not as fixed as those of the
Modes and Persians. A French novelist
| has differentiated women into twenty
! five different species. Another writer
| contends that each woman is a species
in herself-that there are as many spe-
! cies as there are women. Accordingly,
| every woman is a theme of speculation
| end conjecture-what she may or may
| not do under stress of circumstances is

Prize Fights and Piety.

I f prayer availeth in a prize fight,
Mr.. Jeffries will be the winner in
his go with Mr.. Fitzsimmons. Mr..
John l.. Sullivans recent announce
ment that he was hoping and praying
that Mr. Jeffries would do the red
haired Fitz up. has been received with
some derision, the irreverent Washing
ton Post going so far as to suggest
that Mr.. Sullivan should not neglect
to enclose return postage with his
prayers.
But there are other people more
cody than Mr.. Sullivan who are deep
ly interested in Mr. Jeffries' success.
Mr.. Jeffries father is preacher at Los
Angeles. 1t appears from the Los An
geles Express that being a preacher,
and therefore opposed to prize fighting
on principle, the elder Jeffries is rather
averse to discussing the coming bat
tie, but there is no doubt that he is
proud of his son, and hopes and prays
that he will be successful. The whole
family were opposed to Jim becoming
a professional pugilist, but as he was
determined to go into the business,
they naturally want to see him at the
top. w.....

things" said Mr.. Jeffries to a reporter,

me when I say that the Lord will be in

Where the Credit Belongs.

IT is peculiarly gratifying to the news
paper profession at large to learn
that to newspaper enterprise more
than to any other one factor belongs
the credit for the discovery of the kid
mapped baby, Marion Clarke.
Special praise is due the New York
Herald for printing the picture that led
to the baby's Identification. The Her.
aid modestly remarks: THE finding of
Marion Clarke was due to the extensive
notice of the abduction by the newspa-
pers and to the half-tone pictures. A
portrait published in the Herald con-
f1rmed the suspicious of those who had
seen the child being carried around
through the mountains"
Then the very highest commentator
must be given the New York World,
which published cut of the baby-a
cut that speedily and with unerring
certainty accomplished the child's dis
covery. Refraining with its usual deli
cacy from throwing any bouquets at
itself, the World simply says: In pur-
suance Of it's purpose to defeat these
kidnapers' plot by publicity the World
on the morning of May 20, published
an exact likeness of Marion Clarke
drawn from photograph her mother
had. In word the World, as usual
has done its full duty to the people anG
yesterday her mother clasped Baby
Marion in her arms
| The greatest measure of applause
must be rendered the New York Jour.
nal, in whose enterprising columns one
day appeared a picture of the MISSING
baby. This picture located the baby If
short order; the Journal frankly say:
so itself in these words: THE identifi
cation is due to the acumen of Mrs
| Cary, postmistress at ST. John. Tht
woman brought the baby to the post
office. From the picture published il
the Journal Mrs. Cary recognized her.
Take it altogether, it was an exceed
ingly clever newspaper performance
We desire to congratulate the New
York Herald on finding the baby, thu
New York World on discovering tn,
baby, and the New York Journal OF
unearthing the baby.

A Dangerous Policy.
~ HE administration is making

~ HE administration is making a
very foolish mistake in not list
ening to the advice of such men
as Brigadier General Charles King,
who has returned invaided to San
Francisco, after doing hard fighting
against the Filipinos. General King
has had abundant experience in fight
ing Apaches, Sioux and Nez Perces,
and is therefore qualified to speak of
the character of the fighting done by
the Filipinos who We're opposed to him.
He says the situation in the Philip
pines is most serious, that the people
of those islands will keep up a guer-
rilla war and there is no telling when
the hostilities will cease. He is con-
WINGED that it will take a large force
of men to subjugate them thoroughly,
and says the war in the islands is by no
means ended.
The news from Manila, even censored
as it is, confirms General Kings state
ments. Without doubt much larger
army will be needed than is now in the
Philippines if American supremacy is
to be esta blished, as it is impossible
to keep the insurgents from reoccupy-
ing the towns as our army abandons
them, while our line of advance is so
thinly stretched out that We cannot
garrison many places at the front.
But President Mckinley, with charac-
teristic weakness and indecision, is
afraid to call for more volunteers in
the face of the repeated announce
ments that have been made with the
Administrations sanction, that the in
surrection is practically suppressed
that it is all over but the shouting. If
the rebellion is to be 1T down, the way
to do it is to give Otis an abundance of
fighting material.

VIII Be Decided Improvement Over
Present Conditions.
Missoula, June 6-The excellent start
that the city council has made in the
matter of improving Higgins avenue is
gratifying to those who have made the
effort to bring about this move. While
the recommendation of the street and
alley committee does not contemplate
paving, the plan suggested will be de-
cided improvement over the present
conditions and will make splendid
street. The idea of the committee, as
outlined by Chairman Gibson, is to first
grade the street. accordine to the Off
cial profile prepared by Surveyor
Hughes. This done, a layer of SIX
inches of broken rock will be spread
over the street and thoroughly rolled,
after the fashion of making macada-
mixed roads. Then surfacing of river
bottom gravel will be spread and this,
also, rolled till it is hard and firm.
Granite curbing will be placed on each
side of the avenue from the bridge to
Railroad street and granite cutters
will be built the entire length of the
street. These cutters will connect with
the city sewers at each intersection
with street or alley and ought to serve
to drain the surface water from the
street perfectly. No estimate of the
cost of the work has been prepared by
committee. but the improvement will
be great in comparison with the cost
of the work. Thursday night the coun-
Gil will meet in adjourned session to
finally consider the report of the COM
mittee and it is requested by the alder
men that all property owners who are
interested in the Improvement of the
avenue will attend the meeting and ex-
press their views. This will be one
of the most important meetings that
the council has held in many months.
