H.rd-Drawn Copper Wire.

From the New York Sun.
The fact is well deserving OF note
here that at one of its recent meet
ings the Franklin institute of Philadel-
phia awarded the Longstreth medal to
Thomas b. Doolittle. well and widely
known in telephone circles for his
hard-drawn copper wire. a most i'm
portant contribution. ii Is hardly nee
essary to say, to all electrical indus
tries. This wire, while retaining those
properties of conductivity inherent in
copper, has the additional quality of
great tensile strength, and II is the
opinion Of those qualified to judge
that, without his discovery. long-eis-
lance telephony n the electrical
transmission of energy over long dis
tances would be impossible-in a word.
the value of this process and its ex-
tensive application Is sufficiently evil
lent from the fact that the annual
consumption of h~ard-drawn copper
wire in the United States alone alone
exceeds so. 0o0. 900 pounds. With the
caution demanded by the subject. THE
Franklin institute waited until IL had
made an exhaustive examination oil
the case. and until the value of the
discovery had been amply proved.

Hsnnessy Has Engaged b Services OF
Madame Montgomery. b Celebrated
Modists. for His Extensive Dress

: There will be a new record made this
year in Butte and one that will gladden.
the hearts Of all women who appreciate
dress in its highest form.
: Every visitor to this city in the Rock
ies. be he from New York's metropolis
or Philadelphia's city of homes. who has
the entree to its best society, Is i'm
pressed with the life, ambition and go
aheadativeness of its people. There Is
no city of its size anywhere that can
make such a showing. There is no city
of its size where its leaders so far out
rank in style and dress those from
other less favored spots. Visitors are
surprised, dumbfounded. Several Of our
best people buy their swell gowns in
Paris; others have them made in New
York and elsewhere. that their style
Mt and finish may be as near perfection
as possible. In future no such incon-
venience need be experienced. Butte
possesses the finest business house west
of Chicago-Hennessy's mammoth SIX
story building, which is the pride ana
pet OF Montana's best citizens. NO
where can there be found a grander
stock Of everything pertaining to dress;
here are the finest silks and richest
brocades of every tint and color, which
everybody possessing taste and refne-
ment must appreciate. There has been
one difficulty, however, against whlcn
Hennessy's had to contend, but this
difficulty no longer exists. Madame
Montgomery's services ave been en-
gagged to take charge of Hennessy's
dressmaking parlors. As a modiste OF
the very first order she Is well known
in New York city, where she presided
over one of its finest establishments.
She will bring her own experienced cut
tiers and filters and will be In a position
to turn out everything from the swell
taiior-made suit to a gorgeous evening
costume. She VIII arrive in Butte on
Tuesday and will be pleased to meet

partment and will be pleased to make
personal selections in the metropolis ol
France for any who may desire to take
advantage OF this opportunity.
Hennessy's annual inventory salt
starts this morning. Thousands of dol
lars worth of new and seasonabl'
goods will go on the bargain counters
at very low figures. The display o.
beautiful fancy silks in the front SHOW
windows give a strong hint of tn
matchless values to which Hennessy'
shoppers Will. be treated during tn
progress OF this mammoth sale.
Several buyers Will leave for tn
eastern markets in two or three week
to make their spring purchases, and al
winter goods must go before that tim

speech OF Dollivsr of Iowa tho Feature
Of tho Day.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The feature
OF the opening day in the debate on the
currency bill in the house was the
speech Of Mr.. Dolliver of Iowa. It was
characterized by all the wit and elo.
quence for which the Iowan is noted
and held tho members without regard
to party for more than two hours.
Mr.. Dolliver declared that the last
doubt of the Republican party as to the
wisdom. Of enacting the gold standard
into law had been dissolved by the ex:
perience of the business world during
the past three years. He scored Mr..
Bryan and generally ridiculed the al
legged prophecies Of the Democrats in
1895.
Mr.. De Almond (Mo.) was the heavy
gun on the Democratic side. He warned
the Democrats from the West that they
could not deceive their constituents in
the coming election that they had
/ yielded to the Judgment of their col.
leagues in caucus.
I Mr.. Overstreet opened the debate for
the Republicans and Mr.. Maddox (Ga.)
replied to him. Mr.. Mcclellan IN. "
was the only other speaker. He an
nounced his opposition to the bill on
the ground that it would contract the
currency, extinguish the bank notes
and enhance the value Of coin bonds.

!. ''Cape Town, Monday, Dec. H.
Gatcre reports as follows:
The idea to attack Stormberg
seemed to promise certain success, but
the distance was underestimated by
myself and the local guides. A police
man took us round some miles and con-
sequently we were marching from $50
p. m. to q. M, and were landed in an
impossible position. I do not consider
the error intentional. The Beers COM
menced firing from the top Of an un-
scalable hill and wounded good many
of our men while in the open plain.
The Second Northumb berlands tried to
turn out the enemy but failed. The
Second Irish Fusiliers seized kopje
near and held on, supported by the
mounted infantry and Cape police. The
guns under Jeffreys could not have
been better handled. But regret to
I say that one gun was overturned in a
deep nullah and another sank in. quick
sand. Neither could be extricated in
the time available.
& Seeing the situation I sent a dis
patch rider to Molteno with the news.

miles. The Boer guns were remarkably
we'll served. They carried accurately
