ROYAL VISITING CARDS,
Emperor William Uses Them Six Inches
Long,

Long.
In thorough keeping with Emperor
Williams character, which is noted for
its self-assertiveness rather than its
modesty, are the visiting cards which
he employs. They are, without excep-
ton, the largest in use anywhere in
Europe, and can only be compared to
those huge visiting cards that are con-
sidered good form in China by the
mandarins They measure no less
than six inches in length and four inch
es in width. On the upper line is the
single word Wilhelm" and below are
the words, "Deutscher Kaiser and
koenig Won Prussen.''
These words are printed in large, fat
Gothic letters. 1t is hardly necessary
to add that the emperor does not con-
slider it necessary to inscribe, like cr-
binary folk, his address on his visit
ing cards, perhaps for the very reason
that he is so exceedingly seldom at
home. Of course, the emperor does not
board himself. They are confided to
his chasseur, or body servant, who
follows him.
The other sovereigns in Europe con-
tent themselves with quite small and
unobtrusive visiting cards, with the
words in Latin script. Among the
most simple, in point of size and ap-
pearance. are those of the Emperor
of Austria and of the Prince of Wales
The prince has two sets of cards, the
one for use aboard and the other for
use in England. The latter bears the
words, THE Prince of Wales" the
other the French translation of the
same, the prince de Gales"

SAL TON CAMERON DEAD
One of Montana's Pioneers Passes
Away.
AN ACTIVE PR0sPECT0R
The Developer of Many OF the Mines In
the Georgetown and Gable
Districts Which Have
4 Become Famous.

Salton Cameron, about 65 years of age,
died at ST. Joseph's hospital at Deer
Lodge at late hour Monday night after
an illness extending over a period of near
ly two years.
Salton Cameron was born in Canada.
He was of Scotch descent None of the
old-timers in this city know the exact
date of his birth. but all agree that he
was about 65 years of age. He came to
Montana in 1865 or 1866. He engaged for
some time at his trade of millwright al
Helena and afterwards came to this sec
ton. His fortune was made on the
Thomas lode. near the Gable mine. He
was the dscoverer of the Southern Cross
and Pyrennes mines. near Georgetown He
erected a reducing mill on each of these
properties, but neither of tnem ever
brought him profitable returns.
In his operations and management of
the famous Cameron gold group, in the
Gable district, near Georgetown. from 1868
till 1872 Mr.. Cameron amassed a large for
tune for himself and several others inter-
ested. and from these claims came the
famous Cameron cabinet of gold quartz
and wire gold specimens, valued at $4,000,
which took first prize in the mineral ex-
hibits of the centennial exposition of 1876
and at the cotton exposition at New Or
leans some years later.
A brother of the deceased, resident of
Canada, has been telegraphed from Deer
Lodge of the death of Mr.. Cameron and
arrangements for the funeral have been
deferred pending advices from the rela-
tives in Canada
So far as is known Mr.. Cameron was
never married and, his only relative, of
whom there is any knowledge, is the
brother in Canada referred to above Mr.
Cameron was very well known in this
city, where he was esteemed as an hon
est, honorable, upright gentleman. He
was man always ready to lend help
ing hand to one in distress, and the loss
of his fortune was due entirely to his gem
crosby. He was one Oh the best known
old-timers in Anaconda.

A LINCOLN "REMINISCENCES
Capt. G. b. Taylor Relates an Incident of
the Great President,

the Great President.
In recent issue of the Louisville
Coufler-JOurnal there appears an ac-
count of one of Abraham Lincoln's ear
~ love affairs, in which Captain G. B.
Iaylor, now resident of this county.
inquired as rival for the hand of the
object of Lincoln's devotion. The story
recltes how a quarrel ensued between
the ivals in which Lincoln was struck
in the forehead with an ear of corn
leaving scar that he carried for life.
Captain Taylor is now So years of age,
hale and hearty, and is the father of
the present register of deeds-elect for
TINS county. On reding the Courier
Journals story he pronounced it a fab
rication and tells Of his acquaintance
ship with Lincoln in the following Ian
guage:
Il never heard of the lady whose hand
Llncolh and l are said to have been
rivals for. I was 5 years old and Abe
IS when he commenced work for r1v
rather. He contracted to work for i. "
father year, worked out the full time
and then left to help his father move
TO Illinois. Abe was EMPLOYED to run
the ferry that my father owned and
was his assistant. We slept together
most of the year and he put in nearly
all of his spare time and evenings in
reaalng. MY father paid him $3.50 a
month"; AID for the first months pay,
ape ASKED for a COW and calf, for
Wh1cn S6.o0 was a good price then. Abe
would not take the COW and calf as
pay in advance, but borrowed the COW
Until he had earned enough to pay
Tor them. He saw his folks needed the
COW badly for milk, and if he did not
work long enough to pay for them the
COW and calf would be returned. That
was the afternoon he hired to father.
| helped Abe catch the COW and he led
her nome the same afternoon.
Ihe true story about the scar is that
l used to play with Rebecca Huff and
bfother. children of one of our neigh
DORIS. Ane used to plague me about
Reoecca. When we were husking corn
one day in little inclosure in ad-
dressing me he looked right at me with
a broad smile and fun beaming from
ms eyes. l just happened to look up
at the time. He partly raised his right
arm, and motioning to me with his
foretnger, called me Rebecca 1t made
me very angry, and quick as thought
,Srasped an ear of corn, which had
a large stub about two inches long
where it had ben broken off the stalk
and threw it at him with all my force
Inls sharp stub struck him a glancing
blow on the forehead and made an
ugly cash. The wound bled freely and
| got frightened at what l had done.
and, seeing that l was scared, Abe did
his best to pacfy me, claiming that he
himself and not I was to blame. Abe
was good natured generous boy,
fond of joke and fond of outdoor
sports. He was as tall then as he ever
was, | think, but very slim. l have
been told that he carried the scar made
