A TOUCH OF WINTER.
BUTTE is COVERED WITH THE
BEAUTIFrL-THE COAL MAN
IN HIS GLORY.

The first real genuine snow storm of the
season made its appearance yesterday
and continued today with great energy,
covering the ground in Butte to a depth
of about 6 inches. In the mountains the
snowfall will exceed this by several
inches. The local weather prophets had
been expecting the storm for a couple of
days in advance, as the barometer had
been steadily rising, indicating that a
storm was brewing somewhere in the
vicinity. J. r. Wharton, who is Butte's
! weather prophet, had anticipated the
storm and expected a much severer one.
Snowstorms in Montana in October are
not at all unusual and a fall Of snow does
not necessarily indicate that winter is
upon us. About this time last year there
was a heavy fall of snow. but the weather
] cleared up later and with the exception
, of a cold snap the fall was exceedingly
fine.
The heaviest fall of snow ever recorded
in Montana for October was on Oct. p,
1891. when a fall of Il inches was record
ed. The average snow fall for that Win
ter was very light, however, and placer
miners had difficulty in securing sufficient
water to operate with during the next
summer
Hight & Fairtield's thermometer regis
tered about "A degrees above zero this
morning and ice formed in several ex-
posed places during the night. However.
it is predicted that fine weather will fol-
low the present furry. The weather ser
vice reports today state that warmer
weather would prevail during the even
ing.
Cattle men do not view the storm with
any degree of alarm. Advices from Fort
Benton and that section of Northern
Montana are to the effect that the cattle
men have nearly completed their ship
ments to Chicago for the season and the
slight f1urries of snow 10 not cause alarm.

mani" now takes the place of the stereo-
typed: "How would you like to be the ice
man?' and the transition was accom-
plished in a very brief period. However
while the reign of the coal man begins
from today, the ice man will hold on q
little while longer. AT a little later perioc
the plumber also will be getting in his
deadly work.

Is Judge Sullivan's Estimate
Of E. L. T00mey.
READ HIM A LECTURE
On His Treatment of a Servant Girl
Who Was In His
Employ.

! regret to say that you are more
harsh and cruel than most men and
sincerely hope there are but few men
like you in Butte. I hope there are few
employers in the city who will force an
unprotected girl into the street at
O'Clock at night as you have DONE"
Z The remarks quoted above was the
language of Judge Sullivan in police
court this morning in concluding a well
de served judicial roast on e. L.. Toomey
a man who conducts a lodging house on
East Park street, and who was charged
with having assaulted a girl employed
in his place as a chamber maid.
The girls name is Cecilia Mott and the
story she told at police headquarters is
not to Toomey's credit. She says she
was filling lamps in a dark room when
Toomey came in and attempted to lock
the door. He could not do so. Then he
made an improper proposal to the girl
+; anu she Indignantly repulsed his ad-
varces. Shortly afterwards she went
; to her supper and a little later to her room
intending to leave the place In the morn
ing.
About $3.50 Toomey. she alleges. came o
her room and told her thai he did not
! want her about the place any more and
that she must pack up her effects and
leave at once. The girl begged to be
allowed to occupy the room until morn
ing. Offering to pay for it, but TOomey
would not listen to her, according to hel
! story. and insisted upon her leaving the
house at once. He took her by the arm
roughly. tore her clothing and kicked
her. and the girl was very glad to leave
the place when he released her. She Their
went to police headquarters and caused
Toomey's arrest on a charge of disturb
ing the peace. He furnished bonds and
was released.
Toomey made an emphauc denial OF
the girls story.
II handing down his decision, Judge
! Sullivan said he believed the girls YER
slor of the affair was substantially
true. He hen proceeded to read Toom-
| ey a very uncomplimentary lecture, con.
Guiding with the words quoted above, apl
fixing his fine at $40 and costs.
Tcomey gave notice of appeal.
John Bollelter and T.. D.. Oscansen were
fined $40 each for disturbing the peace.

John Madison of East Broadway said

reputation for peace and quiet was good.
He did not know Murray.
This settled the case so far as the tes-
timony vas concerned and Mr.. Kelly
asked the court to hold the defendant for
trial in the district court.
Mr.. Cason considered the testimony
against the defendant too weak to war
rant the judge in granting the request.
He asked permission to submit some au-
thorities and the judge granted 1t, but as
the authorities were not at hand an ad-
journment was taken until this evening.

An English traveller in northern
Russia, telling how he made his way
through forest after a fall of snow
simply by keeping that side of the tree
to which the snow chung always in the
same relation to his course, is led to
examine how it is that savage gains
the instincts of his race. We often
hear of 'the instinct of direction" as
we may call it, possessed so marvel
ously by savage races. People profess
to explain it in one of two ways. 1t is
either said that the Indian actually
does take note Of the sun, the wind,
the lay of the land, or the course of the
in the dense forest. impossible for him
to door, else it is set down simply as
instinct" and this, although it is
nearer the mark, is, in a sense, to beg
the question. Instinct, however it
may be in the case of animals, is here,
no doubt, hereditary experience. The
sun, the wind, the streams are influ-
ences, but only that. The Indian does
not consciously observe them. Just as
you, using an experience gained in
daylight, can follow without hands in
the dark a winding staircase between
the baluster and the wall, so with the
Indian in his forest His 'observa-
ton" is entirely subjective, an I'M
conscious impression, the sum of small
influences, to which. by heredity. his
senses are alive, as the retina to light
pictures. In the same way | had not
consciously remarked the lay of the
snow on the trees, yet the fact kept me
from going astray.

she took off diamond ring and wrote
her name on a window pane Her
companion asked why she had done
this, and she replied that it was her
method of taking possession of the
premises. She wanted her friend to
advise her when Franklin returned.
This was done, and she Immediately

Encouraging the Witness.

The bullying lawyer is unhappily
still to be met with. and his confusion
is always the signal for rejoicing
among the spectators. A distinguished
colonial judge recalls how he once
tried a case in the supreme court o.
one of the British possessions. The
learned barrister who appeared for the
defendant had an unfortunate habit
of bullying his own witnesses. II
they did not answer him precisely as
he wished he would attack them with,
My dear man, do attend to me-" or
with, If you can't speak up like a man.
must abandon your case" In this
instance the defendant, whose name
was Jonas, was rather obscure in his
answers. Counsel questioned him
more severely, but poor Jonas only
grew more confused At length the
barrister became exasperated and
shouted: MY good man Jonas, do
come out of that whales belly Oh yours
and answer my questions properly /"
This was too much for the judge. who
could not restrain his amusement,
while the witness was so confused that
he refused to answer, aid the case was

An Interesting Discovery.

very interesting antiquarian dis
covery is reported off the east coast,
at Sandlemere, Scotland During the
last low tides the ebb has been assist
ed by persistent favorable winds to
such an extent that large tracts Of
coast have been left bare and cleared
of shingle, so as to expose the peat for
observation, with the result that the
habitat of an old-world colony of lake
jewellers has been revealed. The old
piles are standing. and the rough
hewn tree-trunks Of the platforms are
still there, showing the tool marks and
evidences of mortising and jointing.
Another colony of lake dwellings is
already known to have existed near
by: and it would seem from this new
discovery that there must have been a
considerable number of them in pre-
historic times in that district.

DANIEL WEssTER's cHowDER.
Anecdote Told of the Orator by an
Old Salt.

Old Salt.
Every visitor to Scituate or the
neighboring villages along the shore
and farther inland knows Capt. Pratt.
He is among the oldest of the towns
inhabitants, and from an inexhausti-
BILE fund of entertaining stories he re-
lates with inimitable drollery many
amusing happenings of time before
the south shore became famous re-
sort. 1t is counted an important part
of the summers program nowadays to
call on this old man and hear him mar
rate some of the varied experiences of
his ninety years life. Sitting beneath
the apple trees that shelter his home.
with his little granddaughters at his
feet, Capt Pratt looks up at the sound
of every passing vehicle and mods and
smiles at the never-failing friendly
greeting of 1.-The summer folks" All
his "reminiscences are worth hearing,
but there is one which he tells with
special glee. 1t relates to a certain
day, long ago. when he was fishing
in his boat just off shore, with sew
eral companions, says the Boston
Transcript. They anchored at noon
and prepared to feast upon a fish
chowder the cook had made Just then
a rowboat appeared, carrying two men
in rough attire. They asked for bait,
which was promptly handed over the
side, and as they started away the
hospitable captain mentioned the
chowder and invited the strangers to
come aboard and join the hungry COM
pany. They accepted readily and ate
with keen appreciation of the savory
dish. They do say" remarked one of
the fishermen, that Danl Webster
brags about the chowders he makes
over to Ma'shfield. don't believe that
he could hold candle to this one.
Why, it's the best chowder l ever eatr!
Daniel Webster thinks so, tool" came
in thunderous tones from the man who
had borrowed the bait. Sure enough, :"
says Capt. Pratt, after a series of
chuckles, sit was the great statesman
sitting on pile of rope and holding an
empty tin plate in his hands. We were
all stirred up, you better believe. but
he enjoyed the joke. He and | were
great friends after that, and many's
the fine luck at mackerel fishing we've
had together"
