Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-11-18

How many people are there in the
United States who have ever heard of the
Republic Of the Acre and vet 1t is a SOW
ereign state of South America and nay
soon enter into diplomatic relations with
this country. 1t is true that the repub-
lie is but a few weeks old, that six months
ago it's existence as a free and independ-
ent nation had not been projected but in
such countries governments come into
existence and expire with a rapidity
that is somewhat astounding to people
who are accustomed to some stability in
political affairs.
In spite of all this, however, the new
Republic of the Acre is certainly worthy
of more attention than it has received.
Its origin is SO romantic as to seem out
of place in this serious century,; its pur-
pose is so high as to appeal to every lover
of republicanism, and it's inevitable fight
against the combined influence of sew
eral powers will certainly win the SYM
pathy of every person who loves liberty
and hates injustice. With such facts to
mi it is safe to say that we shall
hear more about the ReDuItIc of the
Acre before many months have passed.
For many years there has been a GER
tain section of the country in South Am
erica that has been known as mo mans
land" Although it consisted of more
than 200, 900 square miles and had a pop
ulation of more than $4,000 people the
title to it's territory was very much in
dispute. Both Brazil and Bolivia claim
ed it. Bolivia even went SO far as to
dispose of it to an American syndicate
but when the capitalists from the United
States came to examine their title they
decided that they would find another
channe for their investment. From
what they could discover the land might
belong to neither.
A few months ago this information
came to the ears of Rodriguez Aries,
who was then acting as a broker in the
Argentine Republic. Aries is a natural
a%dventurer. He has lived in every
country of the world and everywhere
he has been comparatively successful in
carrying through his ventures. He had
managed a bank in Spain, had been a
government employe in Paris, a theatre
cal manager in the United States and al
most everything else in other parts OF
the world. To him occurred the idea

ly knoWn by name is the Republic of
Goust and yet it has long ben recognized
by both France and Spain. This little
nation is situated on the fiat top of one
of the mountains in the Basses Pyrenees:
it has an ar@a of but one ana a quarter
s4uare miles and its population consists
of only $50 persons.
The Republic of Goust was establish

tax collector, and judge of the court.
If any of his decisions seem unjust the
people, in accordance with the constitu-
ton, may appeal to the Bishop of La
runs, the Spanish diocese in the valley,
ana his word is final.
One of the most unique features of life
in the Republic of Goust is that the coun-
try has neither churches or clergymen.
The citizens are compelled to go out of
the republic to worship and funerals,
baptisms and marriages are all perform
ed in another country.

has been in v3dod and although the re-
cent depletion of Grand Bassam. on the
African gold coast, was said to be caused
by yellow fever yet it is now believed that
the disease was really the plague. All this
in spite of the fact that the Indian
plague commission through Prof Half
kline, seems to have found a genuinely
valuable serum. It's reliability was proved
by the following remarkable experiments:
Twenty rats were taken from a ship new

ents were inoculated with the Hahkine
serum, and with the uninOculated ten were
put in a cage which already confined
plague-stricken rat Nine Of the uninoc-
ulated died, and only one of the dOctored
rats died. OF the 900 inhabitants of the
village of Uran, 426 were attacked with
the plague, but all recovered. OF those
inhabitants not inoculated, Is were seized

one of the important problems which

of the London police in controlling the

Not All of Hollands Leaning Houses
Due TO sinking Foundations.
one of the curious things to attract the
attention Of visitors to Holland is the
leaning of a great majority of the houses.
To see certain parts of Rotterdam and
Amsterdam it would seem as though there
were no houses there standing perfectly
straight. and that great numbers of them
must collapse. In buildings side by side
some will lean forward, some backward,
and others sidewise. Their old cracked
walls suggest that it is the result of age
While. Of course it is principally due 10
the soft wet ground on which they are
constructed.
There are. however, many buildings in
these cities which were originally, and
Enthusiastically, built out of trim. For IN
stance. not far from the Hotel VieuX-Doe-
len. where the delegates TO the peace con-
ference have been staying, there is an
extension being built to one of the
churches. and although the walls are not
vet completed, they lean outward more
than twelve inches. Another instance of
this is found in some of tho corner houses
whose walls lean out over each stree

which two houses on opposite sides of tine

houses Lord Rothschild was born. In
Paris on the other hand, il is noticeable
that in many cases the builders intention
ally construct the houses so that they lean
backward slightly, to add TO their stabil-
ity.
But almost in the center of Paris there
is one heavy stone building which leans

The invita- ions should be sent out at

must be moved and trimmed down to al

sets OF stakes, forming squares, are set
Out at right angles 10 each other. The
larger these squares can be made the
more difficult and therefore the more in

the stakes are fastened Tong streamers of
gaily col0red ribbons which serve TO keep
the squares separate one viii be of red

many as viii accommodate the players
that are expected. In fact noses are count
ed in just the same way as for a card
party.
The scene, as soon as the guests begin
TO arrive, is as pretty and gay as a swarm
of huttering butterflies. Almost without
exception the women wear light fluffy
gowns. while the men appear in the in
