New Years day, 1899, was ushered in
in Anaconda in a very quiet manner
Not for years has the advent of the
new year been SO quiet as it was this
year. 1t is true that there were a few
shots fired in welcoming 1885, but they
were very few. Some of the whistles
Of the industrial plants about the city
blew, as usual, when the clock hands
indicated the hour of r. Some people
this year-there are always some--sot
beastly drunk in dishonor of the occas-
ion, but confined their hilarity to the sa-
looms. Contrary to the usual custom,
the streets were practically deserted
after II O'Clock yesterday morning.
Yesterday the day was observed in
an appropriate manner. There were
special services at many of the
churches, which were well attended
The regulation New Years dinners
were eaten, and altogether the day
passed off quietly and peacefully.
The menus at the hotels were elabor-
ate affairs, many of the diners deciar-
ing that in variety and excellence, the
bills We're superior to those offered the
guests on Christmas. AT the Montana
motel, there was more than usually
fine menu. The good things offered
