ONE SILT BROKE.
One of Ringing Brothers Clowns In a
Dangerous Predicament

Dangerous Predicament.
w. w. Freeman, press representative
of Ringing Brothers Greatest Show
on Earth arrived in Butte yesterday
and called on a number of his old
friends, for he is well known in this
city, having visited it many times as
representatives of various theatrical
attractions since 1890. Freeman is also
an old newspaper man, and he has a
newspaper mans quick perception and
a fund of stories. He was telling some
of them last night while renewing ac-
quaintances. A joyial spirit was pass
ing by, and attempting to sing the old
comic song of "One of His Legs Was
Longer Than 1t Really Ought to Be-
THAT reminds me" said Freeman,
"of the experience of one of the Ring
ling's clowns at the performance at
Seattle the other day, which might
have ended seriously. 1t occurred in
that turn or stunt as it is called in
the vernacular, in which several clowns
enter the ring on stills about 10 feet
high. They drink imaginary red liquor
from bottles and presently each clown
Stimulates intoxication. A real jag
of the staggering variety is tolerabiy
hard to manage, but not more SO than
a pretended one on high stills. A box
party was particularly appreciative
and their applause SO stimulated one
of the clowns that he staggered around
in a way he had never attempted be-
fore. In a violent effort to recover his
balance one of his stills broke off short
at the foot. This left the man with
only one silt to stand on, and thus en-
numbered a fall meant perhaps a
broken neck-almost certainly frac-
tured limb. A cry of dismay went up,
but the clown did not lose his head,
and by a quick movement he threw
himself against the box front, clinging
to it until assistance reached him. His
remaining silt was unstrapped and he
reached terra firma in safety, accom-
panied by the applause of the relieved
audience"

IT'S A co SURE ENOUGH
The Fourth of July Celebration
Will Be Carried Out.
ONLY COURSE POSSIBLE
The State Has Been Billed From One
End to the Other, the Money Has
Been Collected and No Other
Plan Is Feasible.

There was a meeting of the Fourth of
July committee in the council chamber
last night and 1t was the opinion of all
present that in view of the fact that the
money had been collected and arrange
ments made for the Fourth of July
celebration that it should be celebrated
This is certain, as the state has been
billed from one end to the other, a pos
ter having been placed in each depot
and postoffice in the state, as was re-
ported by the chairman, 1000 posters
being distributed. Marshal Deevry said
there would be 20 hacks; also saddle
horses. G.. A, r. hats and sashes for
the aides. The ladies will meet at 2:30
tomorrow to arrange for the decora-
ton of the car of state.
Almost every labor organization in
this city has signified it's intention of
turning out. Business houses have been
invited to prepare floats for the parade.
j. F. Davies will see the High school
cadets, as he was appointed a commit
tee sof one to look after them. There
will be 800 red, white and blue lights
used at the intersection of Main with
Broadway, Park, Granite and Quartz
streets. These will be lit on the night
of the 3rd and 4th. Mr.. Bray and Mr..
Deevry will attend a meeting of the
Trades and Labor assembly according
to agreement.

nesslike condition. In some other re-
g1ons a split is placed on two upright
iorked sticks and given rotary mo-
tion. Ih1s Is the easier method of cur
ing rubber, but the paddle-smoked ar
tlcie brings better prices. The process
OF curing rubber is so injurious to the
eyes that total blindness not infre-
quentiy results from it. Many at
tempts have been made to introduce
improved curing apparatus, but thus
lar without permanent success.
AS TO the profits of the industry, Mr.
Kennedy tells us that the land owner
PROVIDES outfit, food etc, for the col
rector ana IN return receives the rubber
corrected. This he sells on the co1lec-
TORS account, retaining 20 per cent for
hlmself and continuing to make adj
Vances IN such a manner that the coll
lector always remains in his debt and
consequently in his service. The other
side of this picture is shown in the fact
That about rs per cent of the collectors,
after having been supplied with outfit
ana travelling expense, die, desert or
return to their homes on account of
illness and render the expense incurred
Tor them dead loss. 1t often hap
pens, also, that the collector, instead
OF bringing his rubber back to the land
owner, sells 1t to any buyer who comes
along and pockets the proceeds. The
person who advances supplies and cap
ital to the collector in exchange for
rubber is known as an aviador. The
municipal aviador remains stationary
at some large place and sends out sec
ondary aviadors, who travel through
the rubber country and transact bust
ness for the principal. From the prin-
cipal aviador the exporters of rubber,
who are generally agents of the United
States and British importers, buy their
supplies. The shipments from Para in
1898 were 22,s1s tons of 2,204 6-10 pounds.
almost equally divided between the
United States and Europe.

Shot by Sentries.

san Francisco, June 22.-The Exam
lner prints a story strongly intimatiug
that John II. Reynolds, wealthy mem
Der OF the casual detachment at the
Presldio was shot and killed while try
ing to pass the lines on Sunday morn
ing. 1t is stated that members of the
detachment say Reynolds was shot
down by William G. Harris, of Com
pany /, 24th infantry, and that Harry

ton, also members of the casual COM
panies, We're wounded by Trooper Will

attempting to get to their quarters, af-
ter having visited several down town
resorts, when, it is alleged, they We're
discovered by the guards and fired on.
William Harris, of company I, Gath in
fantry' on picket duty at the time,
says;
Some of the casual boys tried to
break through the lines early Sunday
morning. After running a short dis
lance they met mounted cavalrymen
They turned and, refusing to halt, were
fired upon 1 don't know what the re-
suit was. as l took five men under ar

DAYS WHEN CATS WE'RE RARE.
Enormous Fines Imposed ON Persons
Who Stole Them.


From the Philadelphia Times.
In the middle ages cats were very
rare. Even with the ladies little dogs
were the familiar household pets, and
cats were regarded as almost royal
possession, In Wales as early as the
10th century cats were protected by
the government and their value fixed
by law. Before kitten could open its
eyes 1t was worth penny; afterWard
it was worth two, and when it had
caught a mouse its value rose to four
pennies. These may seem small prices
now, but they meant a good deal then.
Both cats and pennies are within reach
of any one, and the simplest little home
may have as guard the cat that "once
upon a time" kept watch in the kings
granaries.
In Wales the prince had his store
houses thus protected, and the follow
ing story will show you how the theft
of a cat was regarded. One day a small
black kitten was missing, 1t was not
very big, but it had caught a mouse,
and search was made at once 1t was
found in PEASANTS hut, and his
daughter confessed that she had stolen
it from the granary. The child de-
clared that the kitten was frightened
by the princes great wolfhounds, and
had taken refuge with her and she had
not had the heart to give it up.
The steward had father and child
brought, trembling with fear, before the
prince, who sat on his throne, yawning
and stroking' his tawny hounds.
What is the law" he asked
The thief shall pay a full-grown eve
with all its fleece" said the steward.
Alas, the man was too poor to own
sheep.
Failing this, the cat shall be hung"

SLANG USED BY STAGE FOLK.
Jargon That Is Unintelligib1e to the I'm.
initiated.


From the London Mail.
Pretty nearly every profession boasts
a vocabulary of its own, and the the
atrical profession is not the least boast
full in this matter. There Is a neatness
and directness about the vocabulary of
the stage which does not characterize
that of any other institution
What, for instance, could be more di-
rectly impressive of the volume of an
evenings audience or the receipts to
accrue therefrom than the phrase of
playing to the gas? 1t is used in the
general sense in reference to small au-
diences, but strictly it means that an
audience was only large enough to rem
der receipts sufficient to pay the bill
for the evenings lighting.
Playing to the gas" is hideous ex-
perience through which probably every
actor passes at some time in his ca
reer, and he not unreasonably hates it.
He would infinitely rather play to a
"house full of paper" The latter phrase
means an audience admitted mostly oy
free passes, and the expression prob
ably takes Its origin from the fact that
1t is customary for theatrical managers
to send free passes to the dramatic
critics of the press.
The crime of stealing thunder is not
punishable under any penal code, but it
is a misdemeanor which no respect
able theatrical company should allow
to go unpublished 1t is not, however,
so dangerous a crime as one might
fancy. In prosy English it is the offense
of accepting and acknowledging as
your own the applause due to another
actor and working it up on your pri-
waite account.
1t is very frequently done and some
actors are wonderfully clever at the
business. They will steal" the "thun-
der" every time they are on the stage
SO tactfully and artistically that it is
difficult for the audience to believe that
all the honor is not due to them. Sec
ond-rate actor-managers are hardened
offenders in this matter
I've got a shop in fine crowd ex-
claims Miss Tottie Twofeet to a friend.
'All the fat of the book, three curtains
and the tag. We open on Tuesday and
I'm awfully fluffy Jessies walking
on" To anyone inexperienced in the
slang of the stage the above speech
would not convey much. Translated in
to common or garden" language. Miss
Twofeet'S meaning is that she has OBJ
tanned an engagement in fine COM
pany. that she has to deliver the most
telling speeches of the play, that the
performance commences on Tuesday
and that she is not sure of her lines.
Jessie-eVidently her dearest of friends
has a part which she cannot act.
1t must be admitted that Miss Two
feet is concise She might add that Eek
cept for a shop part or engagement
in 'f1t-up' "a company travelling with
its own scenery she has been resting I"
(Which is a neat way of saying she
has been out of an engagement.

SOLD THE CLOTHES OFF HER BACK.
But San Francisco Nell Got Drunk and
Spent the Money.

Frisco Nell' and Nancy Hanks"
the two notorious Pleasant alley char
acters, will board with Jalier Boyle 80
and 20 days respectively as a result of
an interview they had with Judge Sui
Ivan of the police court Yesterday At
an early hour yesterday morning a
granger named w. L. Hunter COM
planned to the police that he had been
robbed by the women and a few min
utes later Paul Mutell made a similar
complaint. This was what led to the
interview with Judge Sullivan. Some
days ago Nell was given a sentence.
which was suspended on condition that
she leave town, When the women went
before the police magistrate yesterday,
Nell was asked why she had not kept
her promise. 1t then developed that
Nancy had sold the only waist she pos
sessed, actually sold the garment off
her back to get her bosom friend money
to go on, but Nell got drunk and spent
the money. Judge Sullivan fined Nell
$50 and Nancy $40 and sent them to
Jail.

TOM EDlsoNps FIRST CHECK.
Didn't Know 1t Had to Be Endorsed and
Money Was Refused Him.

Money Was Refused Him.
From the New York Press.
1t is not everyone that understands
the ordinary system of banking and
the proper thing to do with a bank
check. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe
was sorely puzzled over the huge check
her publishers paid her for her royal
ties on Uncle Toms Cabin" and her
husband could not tell her how to get
money on it. So, also. was it with
Tom Edison when he got his first
check. When he completed his model
mitted it to the president of a tele-
graph company, who asked him to
leave it for examination. Edison was
out of money and his landlady had
warned him for the last time. He had
decided to ask $4,000 for his invention,
but when the president at the next in
terview asked his price his courage
ooZed away, and he faltered out that
he would like the company to make an
offer.
How would $4,000 suit you?" said
the president.
"What!' exclaimed the young wiz
ard, "all in money!
Certainly; you can have it now
"All right"
to Edison with these words: THAT is a.
check for $4,000. Go to the bank
around the corner and they will give
you the money" t,
At the bank he got into the long line
and worked up to the paying teller's
window. Then he pushed the check
over the sill. The teller saw that it
was not Endorsed and pushed it back
with fitting remarks, which Edison
did not understand, he being even then
slightly deaf. He retired crestfallen
and the thought dawned upon him that
he had been swindied. He had another
scene with his landlady that night and
visited the telegraph president the
next morning in sheer desperation. He
told of his experience at the bank and
begged for his money or his model. He
was properly Identified at the bank,
Endorsed the check and got his money
in big bills.

FRED BOYSON HELD.
He Interfered When Boyson Claimed
Three Skies Beat Three Fours.

He Interfered When Boyson Claimed
Three Skies Beat Three Fours.
Fred Boyson, the bartender at Henry
Muntzers Butte brewery, who welded
a billy with disastrous results to G. F.
Arnold, the bookkeeper of the place
few days ago, had his preliminary hear
ing on a charge of second degree as
sault before Justice Nichols yesterday
and was held for trial in the district
court. The case was prosecuted by
Chief Deputy County Attorney Kelley,
assisted by Guy Stapleton, the former
county attorney, as special prosecutor,
and the defendants interests were
looked after by Attorney Lippincott.
Quite crowd of spectators listened to
the proceedings.
Arnold, the assaulted, in relating his
version of the case, said Boyson was
shaking dice with three customers
when the trouble arose. Two of the
men were out and Boyson was shaking
off with j. L. Kreig. Boyson won the
first horse and threw three tours and
a pair of aces for the second. Kreig
threw three skies and a pair, winning
the second horse, but Boyson claimed
he had won it and that Kreig was
beaten. A dispute arose and Arnold,
being an employe of the house, felt at
liberty to interfere. He had seen the
two hands and knew Boyson had not
"oli' anu oSSOioihSl SpoAS w anu Ioil
Boyson if he could not play fair, he
should not shake at all. Boyson re-
scented the interference and threw the
bar towel in Arnold's face. This
brought on a row, in which Boyson
dubbed Arnold over the head with a
billy, causing serious injury. Arnold
went out and got a gun, but decided not
to use it.
DIR. Schwartz of Murray & Freund's
hospital described the nature or Ar
nold's wounds and said he had known
such injuries to result in permanent
impairment of a mans mental facul-
ties.
]. L. kreig, Paul Kohler and Fred
Everhart. the men who were shaking
dice with Boyson, coroborated Ar
nold's testimony, and F. M. Kuntz
stated that Boyson had subsequently
said to him that If he had 1t to do
over again that he would do just the
same.
Henry Muntzer was called for the de-
Tense and said Arnold had no right to
interfere in the dice game, even though
Boyson was cheating. On cross-ex-
animation he denied he had discharged
Arnold because he would not settle
with Boyson for 500. but because he
had had Boyson arrested and was taken
out of the saloon, leaving no one to at
tend bar
Dyson testified in his own behalf and
admitted striking Arnold three times
with the billy. He got saucy when
asked how much he weighed, the pur-
pose being to compare him in size with
Arnold, and told Mr.. Kellev it was none
of his business He was peremptorily
ordered to answer and did so.
Frank Schubauer and j. w. Stanley
also gave testimony for the defense,
after which the court made an order
binding the defendant over for trial in
bonds of $500, which he furnished

pany with Nat Collins, Mrs. Freeman

dens, They stopped at several resorts

siderably intoxicated. Collins was I'M
