Life-Savers Not Fairly Treated.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
There is justice in the claim of the men
discharged from the government life-sav-
ing stations that they should receive eth
er pensions or half pay. Some of them
have given the government many years
of faithful service and they are only dis
charged now because advancing age or
physical infirmty, probably incurred in
the discharge Of their duty, renders them
no longer available for a work which re-
quires the utmost vigor in all the facul-
ties
The life-savIng service has never been
treated fairly by the government. AL
though it long ago demonstrated its USE
fitness as a saver of both life and proper
ty, and although commerce could not af-
ford to let it be abandoned, congress has
always treated it in a niggardly FASHION,
cutting down the pay OF the men to the
lowest notch, suspending 1t during sew
eral months of every year In order tc
save a few dollars and refusing to pension
its members when sick. disabled or aged
TIE incoming congress should take meas
ures to remedy the injustice of its prede-
cessors in this matter.

For Grand Larceny.

A warrant was issued from Justice
Nichols court last evening for the arrest
of one Martin Doyle for grand larceny
for taking $50 from the person of William
Coleman for the purpose, as alleged, of
robbing him. Coleman told the county
attorney that he and Doyle had been fast
friends and were drinking together IN
Deyotte's saloon at Park and Wyoming
streets, when Doyle showed his hand down
in his (Coleman's) pocket and took ont
the $50. He did not object for the rea-
son that he supposed Doyle was joshing,
but when Doyle walked out with the
money and did not return, he concluded
he had been robbed, and therefore sought
Doyles arrest The officers have moi
yet succeeded in locating Doyle.

NO INQUEST NECESSARY.
Sister Took Care of the Infant Neglected
by a Drunken Mother.

Coroner Julien was called upon yester-
day to investigate the death of an infant
son of Mrs. E. D. MCNamee, who resides
in a cottage on the flats near the old Bell
smelter, neighbors having called his at
tention to a suspicion on their part that
the death was not entirely regular. Ger
oner Julien went to the woman's house,
where he found a deporable state of af-
fairs. The mother was found in bed dead
drunk and unable to answer questions, hut
a young daughter, whose appearance was
quite respectable, appeared and furnished
him with such information as he desired.
Tie young lady said the child was six
months old and had been sickly from !ts
BIRTH and while the mother, because CT
he" habits with regard to drink had ne
elected it, she (the sister had given the
child every care, as her father has en-
plcyment at Nelson's Ferry, Wash, and
sent her money regularly, and while no
physician had been called, she felt sure the
child died from hamilton. Coroner JUL
lien was satisfied from his investigation
that the feelings of the neighbors had
been unwarranted and decided an in
quest was not necessary.

cross between comfortable" kindly
disposed" and hearty" characterizes
the ceremony.
1t is only the favored guest who Is
treated to a cup of this tea with the
Abend essen. A quaint little carved
ebony box, no one knows how many
hundred years old for it had been an
heirloom from so far back its date was
forgotten, lined with tea, contains the
precious leaves brought over from
Russia.
Two and one-half dollars pound
in American money was the not in
significant price to people of the middle
classes, Of limited means. A priceless
old silver bowl for the cut sugar ac-
companies the box. and rare old de-
canter of pure rum.
Daintily the daughter of the house
apportions the requisite amount of boil
ing water, carefully strains the leaves,
adds the sugar and two teaspoonfuls
of the rum, and you have a connection
fit for the gods. The leaves are saved
and used again, and, it was said, were
sold again for a cheaper quality tea.
When it was asked what was the use
of paying so much for tea to be brought
overland. this Mortified tea epicure
gravely said: 1.-THE salt water ruins

IN POLICE COURT.
Alexander Fife Insists That He Didn't
Beat His Mother.


Beat His Mother.
Alexander Fife, a laborer was ar
rested yesterday on warrant sworn
out in police court charging him with
the unnatural crime of beating his
mother. The warrant was issued on
complaint of j. c. Pollock, who in
formed the police that young Fife went
home drunk Tuesday night and with
out provocation beat his mother scan
dalously and threatened to shoot her
But 1t appears there is another side tc
the story. Fife, when arrested, SAID
that when he went home he found a
man with his mother under question
able circumstances and did give him a
good threshing and threw him down
stairs. Not only that. but he pulled his
gun and threatened to kill him if he
came back. He did not, he said, strike
his mother. Police Judge Sullivan lis
, tened to Flies story and became so i'm
pressed with the idea that Fife was
telling the truth that he decided to hold
full investigation tomorrow.
Jim July, who is said to be the only
naturalized Chinaman in Montana, was
fined S. by Judge Sullivan for getting
drunk and creating a disturbance.
Harry Boehme, who said he was a
cowboy from east of the range and
was on his way ito the Buffalo HUMP
country. got arrested for making gun
play at the Casino theater as the re-
suit of too much liquor. He was as.
sessed $40 for carrying concealed
weapons. James MCGinnis was fined 81
for being just a plain drunk.

DEATH OF A PIONEER.
"Buckskin Clark" Was Known in All the
Western States.

western states.
L. W. Clark known as "Buckskin
Clark" a Montana pioneer and 49er.
died in Salt Lake last Sunday of heart
disease. Clark was we'll known in all
the western states. He followed the
rush of gold hunters to California in
1S49 He was quite successful in his
ventures there and afterwards drifted
back to the interior and continued the
search for gold. In 1860 he camped in
the Bannock district and is said to have
set the first sluice box in that part of
the country, which was then wild and
UNEMPLOYED He was in Montana dur
ing some of its most exciting events in
the early days. Mr.. Clark followed his
chosen vocation in Idaho and Nevada
and went to Utah in 1864. He was one
of the organizers of the Ophir district
and was the first man to tear up the
dirt of Lion hill. He located there in
1870 and began operations on what was
then known as the Mountain Lion
mine. Ever since that time Mr.. Clark
had been identified with operations on
Lion hill, and was the locator of the
Northern Light, Chloride Point and
numerous other properties in that Sec
ton.
During his life he had varied expert
ences. He made several fortunes. but
only to lose them in some new under
taking in mines. He retained a large
part of his Lion hill locations and real
lied good returns from the Chloride
Point and Northern Light, which en-
abled him to leave his family in COM
Portable circumstances.
He was the owner of valuable mining
property in Oregon and Idaho at the
time of his death. He was about 10
years of age and native of East Bos-
ton, Mass. He leaves a widow and a
son, George Clark.

SAYS HE'S A FRAUD.
Claimed to Be a Mute, but Couldn't
Understand the SIGNS.

Last Monday young man appeared
in Butte He also appeared to be a
deaf mute. His business consisted of
making a house to house canvass try
ing to sell court plaster in a small en-
velope upon which was printed the
statement that he was a mute and that
a purchase of his wares would be re-
garded as a favor. This card was
signed William Blake.
BY a strange coincidence he stopped
at the Cash lodging house. in Galena
street, where two deaf mutes are also
staying, c. Thompson and Michael
Coyne. The clerk told the mute dodgers
about the stranger, and of course they
wanted to have a chat with the young
fellow. In due time they met the
young fellow and a converse ton fol-
lowed. Here is where the trouble be
gan. The seller of court plaster could
not understand the sign language.
Coyne got angry and started in to ex-
pose young Blake in his own peculiar
way, and the latter left and has not
been seen in Butte since.
Yesterdays Standard published an
account of young man who appeared
in Anaconda under circumstances
which lead the Butte mutes to believe
that he is the same person whom they
encountered here. The Anaconda story
shows the name of the itinerant deaf
mute to be James Roach. The descrip-
ton given tallies with that of the Butte
visitor who so suddenly disappeared.
Last night c. Thompson came into the
Standard office and wrote the following
on a slip of paper, at the same time
pointing to the article in the Standard:
This young man is a fraud. He is
not what he claims to be. My partner
and | are both deaf mutes and this fell
low could not understand the signs. All
deaf mutes can understand the signs.
He could not understand. After my
partner and I had tried to make him
understand, my partner got hot and
would have kicked the fellow, but he
skipped out of town.
How do you know the Anaconda boy
is the same person who was here?" he
was asked by the pencil.
Sure, the same. He's in the same
business. He's a fraud. I don't like to
see that kind of beggars going around
the country saying they are deaf
mutes. know he is the same man. The
paper describes the man who was here
when it describes the one who was
there"
Mr.. Thompson says he has lived in
Butte for about eight years. He car
ries a union labor card and says that
he works for a living at the building
labor trade. He is evidently honest in
his sentiments toward the person he
calls an imposter.

The divinity catalogue has just been

of having some speakers from abroad,
but the faculty has again vetoed the
motion.
