Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our
tears.
Our faith triumphant Ger our fears,
Are all with thee-are all with thee!'
Following Mr.. Mantle's address the
Glee club sang Hail Columbia" and
Rev. Noftsinger pronounced a benedic-
ton, which concluded the exercises for
the day until the events scheduled for
the evening.
Nearly all of Butte's population jour-
neyed over to the West Side last night
to see the fireworks. There was a tre-
mendous crowd scattered over the Mis-
soula gulch slope between Granite and
Park streets. A black cloud in the
west made a splendid background for
the rockets and shooting stars and the
rest of the ordinary display During
the luls in the artificial display light
ming flashed occasionally and vivid
bars and streaks were seen, and taken
altogether a very interesting evening
was spent.

THE illUMINATIONS.
Flags, Bunting and Colored Incandes-
cent Globes on All Sides.


The city never looked prettier than
it did last night The tri-color floated
from nearly every business house and
residence in the city and the artistic
arrangement of the display was I'M
usually brilliant. 1t would be impossi-
BILE to note in detail the decorations Of
all the houses because this edition of
the Standard is not large enough. 1t
seemed as If every person who could,
managed to make some display In the
colors. Some were lavish, others not
so lavish: all showed that the hearts
OF Butte's people are in the right
places.
AS usual the fire department excell-
ed. The central and Quartz street sta
tons were transformed into bowers OF
exquisite beauty. The apparatus was
most tastefully decorated. The city
nail was fluttering mass OF streamers
from tower top to. curb stone. Over
the entrance was the Goddess of Lib
erty in a frame of tri-color and ever
green; beneath this, covering the cut
stone, hung President McKinley's por-
trait. Over the two entrances to the
fire station hung the portraits of
Schley and Dewey. The interior of the
station was lined with artistically ar
ranged colors of the day. The new
hook and ladder truck was dedicated
yesterday. 1t was decorated in colors,
evergreens and paper flowers. The
flowers, representing morning glories,
roses, lilies, etc, were the handiwork
Of several ladies', to whom the thanks
of the department are extended. The
harness, depending from the ceiling
ready to fall on the horses should an
alarm come in, is also beautifully dec
Grated. The chemical engine was a
veritab BILE bouquet. Its polished brass
rods and shining tanks and wheels
were hidden under a lavish display of
evergreens, colors and tinfoil loops and
chains. On the walls hung the por-
traits. of Bryan, Dewey, Fitz Hugh
Lee. Captain Sigsbee and other he
roes.
The Quartz street station was also
artistically decorated. On the east
wall were the words in red, white and
blue curled paper: Butte City Fire
Department" and Butte, Mont, July
A. was formed by entwined evergreens.
The truck was decorated after the
fashion of those at the central station.
The panels of the large doors were
covered with streamers drawn into
most artistic design. The center was
curled paper star from which radiat-
ed the tri-colored streamers. The iron
pillars were wound with bunting, and
at intervals reposed clusters of flowers.
The court house was a blaze Of tri-

Matter of Repairs to Terrace I'm Gar
field Hospital Grounds.

The District Commissioners have been
requested by Mr.. Appleton P. Clark, jr.,
architect for the Garfield Memorial Hos
man avenue front of the hospital grounds,
which, 1t is claimed. has sloughed off. as a
result of the recent blizzard, for a distance
of 100 or more feet.
This terrace" says Mr.. Clark, 'is a
creation Of the District and we request that
the District repair the damage The earth
composing this terrace is slippery clay
much mixed with sand, forming quicksand
pockets when wet. 1t seems to me it will
be necessary to adopt some measure to
keep the terrace in shape when IL is re-
placed"
The matter was referred by the Commits
sfoners to Mr.. c. b. Hunt District COM
putting engineer, who has submitted the
following report, which has been approved
by the Commissioners:
have personally examined the terrace
referred to, and do not find the condition
at all serious, the slides being confined en-
trely to the slope of the terrace, and not
encroaching on the road which runs along
Its top. l must dissent from the writer s
opinion that the District is In any way obli-
gated TO maintain this terrace. 1t is true
the District graded The Serman avenue
oank OF the hospital property. and con-
Structed a masonry retaining wall at the
loot OF the slope, in consideration Of dedi-
cation by the hospital authorities of the
necessary ground to widen Sherman avenue
along the hospitals frontage. 1 cannot be-
neVe, however. that the occurrence of n
slough In the bank, which the District grad
ed, snouid be construed as an occasion for
additional expenditure, and am quite posi-
tive that there Is no present appropriation
tnat could be applied to such purpose
