ALL AIDING THE SCHOOL
East End People Give Money to
Ursuline Sisters.
VOLUNTARY SUBSCRIPTION
An Effort Being Made to Elevate the
Tone of That Part of Town by
Establishing the Acad-
envy There.

III the residents of the eastern part
of the city can make it so, the academy
being started there by the Ursuline sis
tiers will be success. They are anx-
ious to have all the schools possible in
that neighborhood. To this end a pop
ular subscription, in which subscrip-
ton paper is absent, has been started.
A few nights ago a party of east end
residents called on the sisters and pre-
scented them with the following sub
scriptions: A. Barrett, $25; d. O'Leary,
$25; F. H. Murphy, $25; Mr.. Marchion,
$50; Hugh Early, $40.
Other residents of the neighborhood
have taken the matter up and many
other subscriptions are to follow. A
number of the people who are agitating
the matter are members of St. Peters
parish, but some of the most energetic
are Protestants.
For all that" said a resident of the
locality last night, they are helping all
they can to build up the academy, for
we realize it Is going to be great help
to the neighborhood. There are in the
east end of town lots of children, many
of whom have been allowed to run wild
on the streets because there was no
place to take care of them. Many of
those who are helping will send their
children to the public schools in win
ter and to the academy in the public
scnool vacation months"

Majority in favor .209
These figures tell the story of yester-
days school election. IL
{ Without doubt there was a greater
vote cast and greater general inter-
est taken in yesterdays election than
in any previous school election in the
history of Anaconda.
Now that the proposition has car
ried those who have fought 1t are not
inclined to give up the fight They
base their contentious on two grounds;
first that inasmuch as the same propo-
sition was defeated-even though the
vote was ridiculously small-at the
special election held Aug. a. the board
of school trustees had no right or power
to call another election to vote on the
same proposition; second, that despite
the opinion of County Attorney Duffy,
women had no right to vote at the
election, and their voting yesterday
rendered the election invalid
There was considerable, talk among
the DIRECTORS last night of seeking to
restrain the levying of the special tax
voted. Possibly something will be DONE
The proposition before ,the voters
was: Shall a tax not to exceed four
mills be raised to furnish additional
school facilities for school district No.
10?" They voted to levy the tax.
1t costs approximately $4,000 year
to run Anaconda's schools, an expense
that educators in surrounding states
and localities consider small. From
the county levy for school purposes
the city district secures only about
$4,000 a year, leaving $4,000 to be
made up by special taxation. A four
mill levy on the present valuation
will secure the needed $4,000. Hereto
fore 1t has been voted. This year an
attempt was made to defeat the spe-
cial tax and succeeded at the election
Of Aug. "a, when by no means repre-
sentative vote was cast.
Should the special levy be declared
illegal the schools would have to be
curtailed about five months to keep
within the revenue.
Yesterdays election was an earnest
one. Workers on both sides of the
proposition were busy all day. The
judges accepted County Attorney Duff
fy's opinion that women could vote
and allowed their ballots to be ac-
copied. Polls closed at o'clock. In
the evening the school board counted
the votes and announced the result

"VANlTY FAIR" LAST NIGHT.
An Unattractive Performance Given to a
Good House.

An Unattractive Performance Given to a
Good House.
Vanity Fair is the name attached
to the performance-it can by no
stretching be termed a play-given at
the Margaret theater last evening Ivy
one Of the most unattractive organiZl-
tons that has played in this part of
the world. more appropriate name
would have been "A Bunch of Stunts"
Some of the stunts are good, but mos.
of them are very bad.
1t is a vaudeville show, nothing more
and nothing less. There is a good deal
of it, which pleases some people. 1t is
one of those shows (show is the word
that accurately describes it) wherein a
line of young ladies clad in airy tights
stand up across the stage and announce
they are just from a young ladies' semi
nary. The fat Dutch comedian who
skates across the stage on mis- property
abdomen is in it. The tall young lady
in tights with exceedingly we'll rounded
lower limbs and attenuated shoulders,
who wears an air of just having broken
into the profession, draws a salary in
the company. The stage Irishman is
much in evidence. In fact, all the old
Standbys are there.
In addition to these is Belle Williams,
who announces herself thus on the pro-
gramme: THE Quaker City coon sing
ing cyclone ably assisted by her aero
batic coon, Jack G. Albion, in his Won
derful speciality. This act is copyright
ed
Perhaps it is lucky the act is pro-
tected by copyright. Any one who
would steal it should be and probably
would be lynched. Miss Williams claims
to beauty are scant, which cannot be
said of the lining of her skirt, the part
that is chiefly in evidence. She substi-
tutes noise for music and vulgarity for
art. The "acrobatic coon" is good, the
only thing about the act that may be
so classed.
number that certainty merited the
applause it received was the Juggling
and wire-walking act of William and
Kittie Harbek. c. w. Williams, the
ventriloquist, also did an exceptionally
good turn The remainder of the per-
Torrance was ordinary.
The audience was of good size. Most
of the applause came from The gallery,
but there was no marked enthusia SIN al
any time.

Retribution Overcomes Man Who
Makes Himself Obnoxious.

ketribution Overcomes a Man Who
Makes Himself Obnoxious.
There is such thing as retribution
for travelling hogs" and now and then
1T overtakes them. When it does, other
travellers who have suffered at the
hands of the hogs are happy. So it
was that when, on the incoming and
delayed Great Northern train Friday
night retribution took a fall out of an
especially aggravating hog, his fellow
travellers laughed gleefully.
The train leaving Helena was crowd
ed. A number of ladies had got on and
were having trouble finding seats in
the day coach. The hog. a young at
torney from Great Falls, bound for
Butte, was sprawling over two seats,
having turned one hack to provide a
place for his feet. The ladies wan
dered up and down the aisles, getting
seat here and there, being crowded
In with fat men in several instances. A
meek passenger would ask the hog oc-
casionally If some one was sitting with
him. The hog would snap back that
there was. In this he, of course, lied,
after the manner of hogs. but he kept
the meek passenger away. -
Some time before reaching Butte the
hog went to sleep. Butte called the
brakeman as he went through, but the
hog slumbered Presently the train
pulled out on the run to Anaconda.
Three or four miles out the ticket col
1ector awakened the hog and asked
him for his ticket. @Ese
why, why!" said the hog. why
didn't you let me off at Butte? Why
didn't you call the stations?"
He was badly ruffled hog, but had
to make the best of it. About Ills a.
m. he was dumped off the train at Sill
Yer Bow Junction to await train to
Butte. The company one finds at Silver
Bow at that hour is not of the best.
AS the hog gingerly picked his way
off the platform a meek passenger or
two smiled sWeetly in his face but he

ton of which is announced to take
place at the Margaret theater on next

BIG GAME TODAY.
Upper and Lower Works to Contest on
the Diamond.

The baseball game between the MEM
bers of the upper and lower works fire
departments, which is scheduled for
this afternoon at o'clock at Athletic
park, promises to be one of the most
interesting games of the season. Con-
siderable rivalry exists between the
two teams and large amount has been
wagered on the result, so that the play
ers who will represent the clubs this
afternoon will play their best.
1t was announced late last evening
that George Long, who is considered as
being the best twirler in the state, will
pitch this afternoon for the team from
the lower works. This fact alone is sure
of attracting a large crowd.
The cars to Carroll will run every Is
minutes to-day.

supreme court, retired, died at his

$3.50 o'clock Sunday evening, OF kidney
complications. The aged man had been
unconscious since Saturday morning,
and death came painlessly.
No arrangements have yet been made

abe that his remains will be taken to
Stockbridge, Mass, where are buried
his father and mother and his brothers
Cyrus, Dudley and Jonathan, two Sis
tiers and other members of the Field
family. 1t is possible, however, that
Mrs. Field may decide to take his re-
mains to California, where consider
able part of his active life was passed
before President Lincoln appointed him
a member OF the supreme bench.
Justice Fields retirement from the

DEWEY NOT A CAN DlDATE.
Admiral Declares That He Has No
Presidential Aspirations.


Preside.tIaI Aspirations.
New York, April 11-Admiral
Dewey has given to the Manila corre-
spondent OF a New York weekly an
interview regarding the suggestion
that the admiral be made a candidate
for the presidency next year. The ad-
miral said as to his politics:
Il am a sailor. a sailor has no pol
itics. The administration is his party,
and, republican or democrat. it makes
no difference. Then, again, come
from Vermont,and you know what that
means. To be anything but republi-
can in Vermont is to be a man without
a party. My flag lieutenant comes
from Georgia. He tells me that to be
anything but a democrat in the south
is to be a nobody. II lived in the
south l would probably be a demo-
crat. am not politician, have never
held political office, and am totally
ignorant of party intricacies and affll-
iations."
Admiral Dewey said that neither by
vocation. disposition education nor
training was he capacitated to fill the
presidency. He said that he was too
we'll along in life to consider such a
possibility. His health would not ad-
nit it. All his lies work was in diff
ferent lines of effort, and that, while
the kindness and, enthusiasm OF his
friends were grateful to him, and the
generous tributes of the American
people were dear to him, he could not
and would not be a candidate for the
presidency of the United States un-

Dewey was permitted to release these
ships. Their cargoes reached the Deer
