His New Clothes.

This little Detroit girls papa is =,
man who does not like to dress up in
fine clothes, because he never has time
to so to parties or balls, but not long
ago his friend was to have a grand
church wedding, and he said he would
go. SO he bought him new dress suit
and went to church early, so he would
not have to be seen by all the people
coming in in his swal,ow-tailed coat
and, after the wedding was over, he
and his wife and his little girl were
among the last to go. But there was
large crowd still in front of the
church when they got to the door, and
it was just there that the little one
bored him until he blushed like a girl
by saying in her sweet. clear voice so
loud that every one turned to look and
then laughed:

clothes? ?"-Detroit Free Press.

GRAND JURY SELECTED
Judge Knowles Calls Together
II Good Men.
COURTS INSTRUCTIONS
1t Is Not Believed the Jury Will Be in
Session Long, as There Is Little
to Be Done-Altman Bank
ruptcy Cases.

Judge Knowles of the federal court
yesterday caused to be gathered to-
gether II good men and true who will
serve the United States in the capacity
of grand jurors. Those men are D. w.
Bateman, George T. Chambers, William
Husselton, H. c. kellogg, J. NJ Merrill
r. F. Tate. w. w. Thackeray, M. L.
Holland, r. x. Leggat, c. w. Filing
wood, Moses Morris, Charles Stabern,
w. c. Bachelor, G. w. Gilligan, Henry
Jones, j. H. Farris Norman Charles
w. H. Chellow.
The court instructed the jury in the
customary way, saying in part You
are part of this court, although a
separate body. 1 will appoint Moses
Morris to be foreman. You can appoint
one of your number to act as clerk In
considering indictments you should re-
ceive none but legal evidence; this how
ever, does not preclude you from calling
in witnesses to state what they may
know about the case. In no case should
you find an indictment upon hearsay
evidence. When the jury is considering
the question of finding an Indictment no
one, not even the district attorney, who
usually is entitled to a seat in your
midst, should be present. As to Of
lenses to be considered by the jury, they
must be offenses against the laws of
the United States, such as violations of
postoffice rules, pertaining to the mails,
improper management Of United States
bank officers, internal revenue officers
and such matters"
The jury was conducted to the rooms
by the bailiff. 1t is believed that the
jury will not be in session long, as there
is not large amount of business in
sight for its consideration.
The day in court was principally taken
up by ex parte motions, the Altman
bankruptcy cases forming the major
portion. Dispositions in these cases were
ordered opened.
The order to show cause why a per-
manent restraining order should not be
granted in the case of Henry w. King
& Co. VS.. Fred A. Bartlett and the First
National bank was denied the petition
ers by Judge Knowles: and on the or
der ito show cause why permanent
restraining order should not be granted
and receiver appointed in the bank
ruptcy proceeding the court took the
matter under ADJUSTMENT.

TOPROMOTEC|V|C REFORM
Ministers Take Up the Matter of
Citizens League.
PLAN OF ORGANIZATION
Rev. Mr. Goodfriends Interesting Paper
on the Subject-Proposition Meets
With Hearty Endorsement
of the Association.
PLAN OF ORGANIZATION

The Butte Ministerial association held
It's regular meeting yesterday and dis
cussed the question of organizing a
citizens league for the purpose of pro-
noting civic reform. The proposition
met with unanimous Endorsement. and
a committee OF three, consisting OF Dr.
E. j. Groeneveld of the First Presby-
terian church, Rev. ]. E. Noftsinger of
the First Baptist and Rev. j. NJ. Set
tie of the NJ. E. church south, was APP
pointed to consider ways and means
and report at the next meeting of the
association.
Rev. A. l. Goodfriend of the Emmanuel
Presbyterian church read the follow
ing paper on the subject which fully
explains the idea and plan of a league:
No country in the world deserves the
loyalty and love of her citizens more
than the United States. Upon this
chartered soil of freedom despotism re-
ceived it's crushing blow. Here our
forefathers, free and strong hearted,
struggled for independence, not ,'lone
for themselves, but for the generations
to follow. We have received the legacy
from them: we have taken our place In
the great procession of human improve
menI. we nave taken upon ourselves
the responsibilities of citizenship: we
possess the fairest domain, the grand
est civilization, the highest type Of lib
erty, the most glorious flag that God
ever gave to man. Is it not our duty
to act as watchmen and to hold fast to
the principles and doctrines upon which
the welfare, the perpetuity of our re-
public depends? Is it not our duty to
stem the tide of wickedness, the mon
ster of corruption, the damnable influ-
ences SO rampant in our civilization?
The question that confronts us in our
political life is first of all question Of
common business Integrity. Shall this
government be ruled by good men, or
by bad men? Shall we have cleanli-
ness or filth to represent us in the halls
of legislation? Shall we have the devil
sceptered with all his train of political
brigands, thieves, thugs, or shall we
have righteousness? This may be plain
speaking, but l desire to remove the
mask as much as is possible for me
to do so from the existing state of af-
fairs. Let us look the question fairly
and squarely in the face. That this
nation is confronted with perils that
there are dangers menaoing our insti-
buttons; that our "blood-bought" liber-
of legislation are being influenced by
the political intrigues of wrie puliers
the political intmgues of the wire puller
no one will attempt to deny. The hood
Ter is in the height of his glory, the po-
litical trickster is ready to barter away
any trust imposed upon him for the

consultations held all over the lifiver-
sity buildings, and sundry dintes and
quarters were collected by two or Three
of the students, who constituted a sort
of finance committee. EveryerFriday
morning the professor gave leenlre to
the students in the amphitheater. The
subject for the lecture that week was

Promptly at 10 the door opened and
the favorite professor entered the am
phitheater. He carefully closed the
door behind him, then with a self-con-
scious clearing CT his throat turned to-
ward the class. At the first glance his
jaw fell, while every one of the $50
fiends in the seats above began to yell
at the top of his lungs. Spread out upon
the three long operating tables We're

mel petticoat, nursing bottle lying in
graduated glass, pair of little blue
kid shoes, and other things too numer-
Gus to mention. After the first shock
of surprise and embarrassment the
professor was game. He thanked us
in speech peppered with five-syllable
words. for our thoughtfulness in thus
providing for the future needs of his
offspring, but he observed. after care

But he was not allowed to proceed
beyond the fret sentence or two. His
attention was drawn to the blackboard,
where some student of artistic tenden-
cies had drawn an deliberately decorat-
ed design in red. white and blue chalk:

fessor, seeing that there was no posi-

paints from life some fine specimen of

that an artist painted the other day in
the aquarium in water colcrs were for
reproduction in color as book illustra-
tons. Artists have visited the aquar-
ium to draw from aquatic plants TOR
decorative purposes; many pictures
have been made there for newspaper
and other illustrations. Students oftart
go there to draw fishes from life. Be

most commonly drawn or painted are
