W. e. B. Du Bots, in his book, "The
Philadelphia Negro" devotes much
space to authentic instances, proving
that, in the words Of the author, "the
road to SUCCESS is to have a white

individual cases In support of hia
somewhat bitter deduction, one Of the
most striking being the experience of

In China, 12la miles from the village
Of Liou-Chek, there Is mountain of
alum which, in addition to being nat
ural curiosity, Is source of wealth
for the Inhabitants of the country, who
dig from 1t yearly tons Of alum. The
mountain is not less than ten miles In
circumference at its base and has n
height of 1,94O feet. The alum is OBJ
tained by quarrying large blocks of
stone, which are first heated in great
furnaces and then In watts filled with
boiling water. The alum crystalllzes

In thickness. This layer is subsequent

CAUGHT the Gar,

Peter the Great was once very neatly
caught in trap by Jester attached
to the court. The Jester was noted for
his cleverness in getting himself and
his friends out of difficulties. 1t hap
pened one day that cousin Of his had
incurred the czar's displeasure and
was about to be executed. The latter
therefore presented himself before his
imperial majesty to beg for reprieve.
On seeing him approach, the czar, di-
vining his errand, cried: 1T is no good
to come here. swear will not grant
what you are going to ask"
Immediately the Jester went down
on his knees, saying. ~ beseech your
imperial highness to put that scamp
cousin of mine to death"
The car. thus caught In his own
trap, could only laugh and pardon the
condemned man.-Columbiau.

ENTICED FROM HER HOME
TO BECOME AN INNATE OF A
BUTTE BROTHEL-A YOUNG
GIRLS EXPERIENCE.

Camille Marcellln, a young and pretty
French girl, told a story at police head
quarters this afternoon which exposes
some Of the methods used by procurers to
keep the French houses of ill-fame sup
piled with attractive girls, and which
may result in punishment being melted
out to one we'll deserving villain.
About a month ago the girl was with
her parents in Paris. She was a working
girl, and when Victor LACROSSE, who is
alleged to have gone to Paris from Butte
for the purpose of enticing girls away
from their homes, told her of the liberal
wages received by the working girls of
Montana, she decided to return to this
country with him. She arrived here a
few days ago. Lacrosse also told her
that she could work in his family and
she did not know until Saturday that his
idea was that she should become an in
mate of a house of ill-fame. But she
was alone, in a. strange country, and
could not speak a word of English, was
too young to now what to do, and was
compelled to become an inmate of a Ga
lena street resort This was last night,
and after one nights horrible experience
she told LACROSSE and the courtesan he
lives with that she could no longer live
in the manner proposed by him. Then he
and his wona started to beat n abuse
her and she ran out into the street, where,
fortunately, she encountered Officer
Schmid. The officer could not UNDER
stand what she was saying, but her pitt
able condition was very apparent to
him, and he took charge of her, the girl
going with him gladly. She was taken
to police headquarters and Deputy
Sheriff Harry Aware sent for. and
through him her story was interpreted
to the officers.
Officer Schmid and the girl were sent to
the office of the county attorney and an
effort will probably be made to convict
Tense punishable by a term in the peni-
tertiary. while the ladies' of the Asso-
ciated Charities will probably take up
the case Of the unfortunate girl, who de-
sires to be returned to her people in
Paris.

JOHN L. SULLIVAN

The great John L.. Sullivan, whose
prowess as a fighter is but a glorious
memory, and whose popularity in Butte
Is almost as great now as when he was
at the zenith of his fame, appeared at
the Grand opera house last night to a
very good house. With the e~x-pugilist
is a vaudeville company, some of the
members of which are clever and some
are otherwise. With Sullivan is Kilrain,
who went down before the ex-champion
at Richfield, Miss. The feature of the
evening was a sparring match between
these two men. Both show the ravages
of time. The splendid muscular develop
ment of Sullivan is now encased in a SUI
perabundance Of adipose tissue, and he
has a front of aldermanic proportions,
but his hand has not lost its cunning and
he looks as though he could put up a
fairly good fight, even though his hair
is gray and long years have elapsed since
ne was young: He is in much better con-
dltfon h his old adversary.

Mayor Mccarthy Makes two
Appointments.
CITY OFFICIALS MYSTlFlED
Mayors Action May be Accepted as
a HsrbiDger Of what is
to Follow.

Mayor Mccarthy this morning installed
ex-Street Commissioner John j. Cotter,
who, however, is not the attorney of the
same name, as street commissioner The
event created a little stir in city hall
officialdom, where, it is understood, that
Captain Brannagan. the commissioners
under ex-Mayor Harrington, was willing
to continue drawing the salary and per-
forming the functions of the office until
the mayor and the aldermen arrived at
some amicable understanding, as to the
officials who will serve under Mayor Nc
Carthy. 1t is said that B%rannagan pro-
tested against the mayors action. How
ever. Mr.. Cotter was entered upon his
duties. and has charge of at least a por-
ton of the city property.
The mayor also appointed Clinton c.
Neal inspector of weights and measures
to succeed Robert j. Walker, and Mr..
Neal filed his oath of office and began
discharging the duties of his office this
afternoon.
The mayor was seen by ar Inter Noun
tain reporter this morning and declined
to make any statement with reference to
his appointments. He said the appoint
ments had been made and the men placed
in charge of their offices. but that he was
in no position, at present, to discuss the
matter. but said that he might have
something to say within the next few
days. The motto of the mayors office to-
day was 'silence is golden"
Some. among the wise ones. are in
clined to believe that his honor has de-
cided to take the dilemma by both horns.
and that his selection of Messrs. Cotter
and Neal are but h%arbingers of what is
to follow, n that today's action may
be followed gradually by more appoint
ments. until the entire corps of city Off
Gals is selected. The air in the vicinity
of the city hall is charged with mystery.
and those who inhale it are as mute as
oysters. However, it is not likely that
his kind of atmosphere will have much
effect upon the belligerent aldermen, and
the next meeting of the city council. like
the past two sessions, promises to be an
affair of interest.
