CHICAGO MARK ETS,


Chicago. March 1S.-Wheat started sur
prisingly strong, considering how weak it
was at the close of session last night.
There were several reasons for the squirt
of buying with which trading commenced.
but the most important was the fact that
the selling pressure was greatly relaxed.
Another strong influence WAS an advance
of 4M&sd at Liverpool. whereas a decline
had been confidently looked for. Further
more, the weather bureau announced that

ENGINEERS LIFE ABOARD SHIP.
Lot of That Official and His Men on
Battleship in Action.

From the Engineers Magazine.
If you We're sealed up in a heated iron
tank floating on the sea and hammered
at by missiles which now and then let
in daylight and splnters, you would
get a dim idea of the lot of the engi-
neer's men aboard battleship in ac-
ton. But the engineers men have to
work in the hurly- burly and you would
go mad in your tank. The enemy's shot
pounds the ship, but the engineer and
his men know not where the enemy is or
where the ship is heading. And they
can't stop to think about it. Keep that
bearing cool, smother it in oil, drown
it in water! Keep it cool or the games
up.
The men on deck can let the splinters
lie where they fall, but the men in the
engine room have to keep the splnters
out of the machinery. Steam pipes are
pierced. Mend 'em. Crawl behind the
boilers and stop that leak. Impossible
to shut off anything. Scalded? Never
mind. It's all in the days work. Don't
let the water down. Pass the coal live
ly. And. while you're about it. put out
that fire in the bunkers. Grimy men,
dripping with sweat go about quietly
with clear heads. watching everything.
There's no bawling. unusual noise, no
confusion. In the lower engine rooms
the thermometer shows 1856 degrees in
front of the ventilating blowers; in the
upper engine rooms. 1870 degrees. Men
dart into the upper rooms twice an
hour or so, look around for a minute or
two. and then dart out again. There
on the hot seas. on July 3. the tempera-
ture above the boilers of the Texas was
sometimes 200 degrees!
The fighting engineers! By old time
traditions, dating from the days when
steam power was merely an auxiliary
to wind power, the naval engineers are
thought of as nOn-combatants. Ships
change and duties change. The engineer
is now combatant as truly as the man
on the bridge or the man behind the
gun The modern fighting ship is a
fighting machine: her efficiency depends
upon the engineer.
The engineer of the merchant service
has authority which the naval engineer
does not possess. 1t is now proposed, in
the practice of the merchant service.
Enlightened opinion favors the plan for
abolishing the distinction between line
and staff. Engineer officers are to be
officers of the line. All line officers are
to be taught engineering.
generation hence the anomalies of
the present service will have passed
away. The line officer of the future will
know the engine room as we'll as the
wheel house and the bridge, for he will
serve below as well as above. Mean
while nothing will be lost, if We remem-
Der what the fighting engineers did to
save the day at Santiago.

Mysterious Disappearance.

Great Falls, March 1S.--Alexander
Vannet, a Scotchman, about 40 years
old mysteriously disappeared from mis-
boarding place at the silver smelter on
Feb. 25 at about p m. He had worked
that day and was perfectly sober. He
is of a very dark complexion, with a
full black beard and has but one eye.
He went away in his working clothes,
viz, blue Mackinaw jacket and a
light colored cap, with peak on He
probably had $40 or SIS with him, but
his good clothes are in his room and
his pay is not called for. One joint of
the little finger of the right hand is off
and the finger next to it is stiff. The
employees of the silver smelter offer a
reward of $1OO for any information re-
ceived within 30 days, leading to his
discovery, dead or alive.

A RICH STRIKE.
Copper Ore in the Mineral Strip Near st.

Mary's.
Great Falls, March 1S.-People in this
city from ChOteau report that little
cowtown is highly excited over stories
of a rich strike of copper ore in the
mineral strip near ST. Mary's. Being
twice sifted the story, as it appears in
this city, is not very definite, but if
true it is likely to cause another north
ward rush equal to, if not greater, than
that of last year. The story which
comes from Choteau is that Michigan
syndicate under the guidance of Nc
Donald, the man who reached fame
through his deal in the North Star mine
at Rossland, has had a gang of 20 men
working through the winter developing
claim on either Boulder or Kennedy
creek, both of which are small tribu
taries of the Swift Current. The other
day these men struck the lead and now
have a body of ore measuring four and
a half feet. This averages so per cent
in copper while the gangue matter goes
25 per cent, making the whole a rich
copper proposition. There is also gold
and silver in the ore, but the percent
age is not given or not known. The
whole thing may be a pipe dream, but
it has been reported in this city from
time to time that copper ore averag-
ing 40 per cent in copper and about 81
to IS in gold has been found in that
neighborhood, and these earlier reports
give a semblance of truth to this new
story,

Wants an Abso lutte Divorce,

Great Falls, March 1S.--Annie Lehn
to-day brought suit in the district court
for divorce from her husband Fred
ericl w. Lehn. She alleges that they
were married at Walla Walla on July
ID, 1887 and are the parents of five chill
dren. AT various times since their mar
riage she accuses him of brutal treat

of falsely accusing her of unchastity.
She asks for absolute divorce the GUS

alimony, and after divorce is granted
such reasonable alimony as the court
may see fit to allow. She further al

A CATHOLIC NECESSITY.

Something which is becoming more
and more noticeable every day and is
causing a great deal of comment
is need of an institution in this
city which will do for the Cath
Ole young man what the Young
Mems Christian Association does for the
Protestant young man. There are hun
dreds of Catholic young men members of
the Y. M. c. A. simply and solely for the
reason that there is not Catholic organ
ization or institution in this city which
can compete with it in any why. The Y.
M. c. A. is equipped so as to take young
man and build him up both mentally and
physically and make a man of him and
give him a place to either study or exer-
else during his recreation hours instead
of hanging around the corners. The Y.
M. c. A. has built itself up right from
the bottom, depending mainly on sub
scriptions from members of the Protest
ant churches, aided by little enterprise
on the part of the officers Of the associa-
ton. There is no reason whatever why
a Catholic population of 1900 should
not be able to do the same thing, as there
are plenty of generous Catholics in this
city who would only be too willing to
donate to an object of this kind if it was
once started. We hope that the attention
of the clergy or some active Catholics
will be called to this and so start an en-
terprise which will earn for them the
gratitude of thousands Of Catholic young
men in this city who realize more day by
day the great necessity of an institution
of this kind Xxx.

DANGEROUS HAIR ORNAMENTS.

Women can not be too careful in select
ing combs for the purpose of wearing in
their hair. Imitation tortoise combs are
highly dangerous from the fact that they
are combustible, and have been known to
explode when exposed near fire, gas jet
or lamp.
1t is not very difficult to tell the differ
ence between an imitation and real tor
toise comb. The former is generally very
clear, and the places between the teeth
are finished off square. On the other
hand real tortoise combs are somewhat
cloudy, but very highly polished, and the
spaces between the teeth are carefully
rounded. They are made entirely by
hand, while the limitations are nodded.
When woman thrusts little tortoise
shell ornament through her hair she little
dreams of the number of hands through
which it has passed. The finest tortoise
shells in the world come from the West
Indies and the next from the coast of
Africa. At one time it was thought nee
essary to kill the tortoise for the purpose
of getting the shells, but now they are
plucked from the animal just as feathers
are from goose, and in the course of
year the tortoise is capable of growing
another she'll
