MONIANA'S

State Treasurer Collins states that
Montana will pay taxes this year to the
amount of $751; s,136.5 80 in excess of last
year. HI total assessment of the state
for 1899 is SLAP, III, 655.e 80 larger thar it
ever was before. This does not necessar-
lily imply a relative increase in the pros
perity of the commonwealth over pre-
vious years, for it became necessary for
the board of equalization to raise the
average rates of assessment in order TO
meet the current expenses of the state,
which are apparently also much larger
thar heretofore.
The steps that We're taken to make the
total assessment $142,1 III, 655.9 80 higher
than ever before has occasioned no little
complaint in all parts of the state. The
fact that the people are able to pay this
extraordinary amount, in addition to
former averages, goes to show that this
state is in fact enjoying a great deal OF
! the prosperity ommon to all parts Of the
| country. Such an increase would have
bankrupted every taxpayer in the1 state
during the administration of Grover
Cleveland. The ability of property hold
ers to meet the increased expense Of
maintaining the state government, by
paying a larger aggregate than ever be-
fore, speaks volumes for the progress
made by our people along financial lines
during the past few years.
It will be remembered that the assess
ment on sheep was raised by the state
board of equalization, it being held that
the flock holders were able to stand a
larger proportion of the states expenses
than heretofore. During the days of
Cleveland and free trade wool was worth
about six cents a pound, while under re-
publican protection it has reached twenty
cents and upwards. Thus. indirectly the
course pursued by the national republi-
can administration enables the demo-
cratic state government Of Montana to
pull through and pay it's current ex-
penses, without piling up an enormous
deficiency. Governor Smith ought to re-
member this in his Thanksgiving proc
lamation, While giving all due credit to
the Standards cycle theory for he pros
perity which Montana enjoys.

SCIENCE.

The great "ocean ferry" gives a strik-
ing illustration of mechanical progress in
sixty years. Speed, says Sir William
White, has been increased from S2 to
2213 knots; the time on the voyage has
been reduced to about SO per cent of that
in 1910. Ships have been more than
trebled in length, about double in
breadth, and increased tenfold in dis
placement. The passenger list has been
increased from about 100 to 1000 in a
single steamship. The engine power has
been made 40 times as great. The ratio
of horsepower to weight driven has in
creased fourfold; the rate of Goa con-
sumption per horsepower hour has been
reduced to One-third. To drive 1000 tons
across the Atlantic at 81 knots, about $50
tons of coal We're burnt in 1910: now. to
drive 20, goo tons across at 20 knots, about
5000 tons are burnt. Each ton of pro-
pelling apparatus, with a steam pressure
Of only - pounds. then gave only two
horsepower for continuous working;
each ton now produces from 6 to Z horse
power.

MISS FAIRS WEDDING GOWN.
Authentic Description of the Dress
Design Not Conventional.
New York Herald.

lNeW York I1erald)
Ever since the wedding date OF MISS
Virginia Fair and Mr.. william *. VAN
derbilt was made public the young friends
OF the bride to be have been consumed
with curiosity on the subject of what
her wedding gown would be.
Naturally, the matter has been the oc-
casion OF much journalistic speculation,
too, and there have been nearly If not
quite as many imaginative descriptions
printed of the dress as there have been
Of the costly presents the bride Is TO re-
ceive. Consequently, it will interest a
great many people to know exactly what
Miss Fair will wear on her wedding-day.
Miss Fair it is well known. has ideas
Of her own, and II has been limited that
something different from the convention
al, time-honOred white satin and point
lace might reasonably be expected OF her
on her wedding-day. AS IL turns out,
these representations are TO be fulfilled,
and Miss Fair will walk TO the altar next
Tuesday i'm costume which undoubtedly
will set the fashion for other brides for
some time 10 come.
Miss Fairs wedding gown was made
abroad, I'm Paris, but it by no means re-
sembles the strictly French bridal gown.
Whlcn is always OF Satin ana OF Ialner Sc
we're cut. on the contrary. this partcu-
lar gown has nothing stiff or starchy
about it. and not fold Of satin is in
evidence.
OF course, the foundation is ivory satin,
the richest OF satin at that. cut with an
enormously long train. but this mate
rial is entirely covered with fine point
d'esprit of creamy tint, corresponding
10 that Of the satin. Then. instead of
point lace, old cream colored Irish lace,
which is somewhat heavier in texture, is
used i'm appliqued designs all over the
gown. Lengthwise insertions trim the
front of the skirt, the train is bordered
with a deep edging, and the upper part
of the corsage is entirely Of the lace.
Another departure from convention viii
be noticed in the cut of the sleeve, which
reaches barely to the elbow, and is partly
of lace and Of point d'esprit.
With this exquisite gown the bride will
wear a veil Of tulle.

The sensitive tastes OF Chicago appear
TO have been greatly shocked by the fare
well dinner recently given by young Mr.
Vanderbilt. OF New York, TO party Of
his bachelor friends. Mr.. Vanderbilt Is
about to be married, which partially ex-
plains the novelties incident TO the feast
in question. The table at which the
guests sat was circular in shape and in
its centre was a pool of water in which
live ducks and goldfish swan. The chi
cago Record geefuly snaps at the aiiair
and comments upon it as follows:
Here is a plan which meets the re-
quirements Of novelty, TO say nothing OF
the needs Of quiet and refined taste LOT
what is not vulgarly obtrusiVe why
the pools were filed with water when
champagne could have been used Just az
well is not known, although "A judiclous
doubt as to the self-restraint Of the guests
may have had something TO do with IL.
But even with nothing but water the
ponds must have made charming erect
as the ducks swan and quacked over their
placid surfaces. As this was merely
n first attempt. 1t may be supposed that
ere long the custom Will be improved
upon until regular geological garden
can be offered al every meal. An alliga-
tor slumbering peacefully in the midst OF
the hors doeuvres and wine glassed,
with an occasional turtle peering through
the floral decorations, would impart an
agreeable novelty TO almost any dinner
and stir the most faded appetite. If the
host were ambitious he might even in
crease the size Of his table and construct
thereon a natatorium, into when the
guests might plunge at times when
fatigued by their earnest exertions with
the food"
But there is no need for the Record
to worry. When the prospective Mrs.
Vanderbilt presides over the teacups
these bachelor revelries are not apt to
be repeated, and, moreover, if geological
features are to be forbidden, what VIII

RoOsEyELT's BOOM.

The Albany correspondent OF the New
York Herald asserts positively that Gov
ernor Roosevelt is n candidate for the
Republican nomination for President, and
proceeds TO show that he is preparing to
launch his boom In earnest.
If. says this correspondent, there had
been any doubt In the public mind as TO
Roosevelt's ambition. IL was removed
when was read his franchise tax mes
sage. IN which he occupied middle ground
between Mckinley, who believes absolute
ly in the corporations owning the ,coun-
try, and Pingree, who as absolutely be-
lleves in the country's owning the corpo-
ratlons. The correspondent then goes on
to state that Teddy intends, within two
weeks. to make very unusual trip, which
will cause comment, and may formally
start his presidential canvass.
What did Hanna think, we wonder
when this news was carried to him? Pro-
badly. however, IT wouldn't do to formu-
late his thoughts into words in the pres
ence Of Mrs. Grundy.
