THE THEATRE.

Dr.. Bishop, as it may be seen in
another column, continues to rebuke
a class of men and women in this com
munity, who attend the theatre, and
who are quite as sensitive and inteIli-
gent on the subject of their social du-
ties as he is.
The reason has been asked, why has
the stage been so important a part
of the social life of the world. Sidney
Smith gives an excellent reason.
Man could direct his ways by plain
reason, and support his life by taste

markable man. C. P Huntington. No
diving business man has, in his long
career. been interested in so many
great prospects, or carried them sue
cessfully through so many financial
crises as he. In a recent interview he
said:

CONTRACT CANCELLED.

The non-adjustable desk, it appears
must go. The board of education at a
special meeting held last night voted
to cancel its contract with the Stand
ard Manufacturing company of Chi
cago, entered into a few weeks ago.
Since the contract was let there has APP
peared in the board a sentiment strong
ly opposed to the action by which the
Standard company was given the con-
tract for one year to supply the re-
quired desks The desks ordered are
non-adjusta table and the cheaper quail
ity, and to this fact the objection was
made At the last meeting of the board
the clerk was directed to take some of
the desks stored in South Butte to the
school rooms where needed. When the
clerk began to remove them it was no
ticed that the desks did not come up to
the sample introduced when the con-
tract was made. The result was the
special meeting last night The vote
on the cancellation was as follows:

from the following associated press dis

turned to its members $500, S70,7 1877, or
over half billion dollars; and it's ac-
cumulated assets on that date were
$2SS, 536,471. This shows that the com
pany has practically paid out as much
money to the insuring public as any
other two companies of like character
and that by holding a larger amount in
assets than any other company it Is be-
yond question the largest and strongest
institution of its kind in the world.
