by boat to Cape Nome, 1900 miles
distant, where he stopped for
several days to take in the ex.

pronounces this new district as
one Of great promise, the claims
for many miles along the beach
netting the army of workers an
average of $15 per day. Durlr g
his stop he worked four days and
took out $55 of dust. The great
drawback to this section, howev.

wood. and he says that between
short provisions and Iackuof fuel
the new camp will have hard
time this winter.

WOMEN WORKERS ARE MORAL.
Statistics Prove That Industry and Vice
Are Not CongeniaI.

Carroll ID. Wright, the eminent statis-
tician and labor investigator, has been
looking into the condition of the working
women of the country and arrives at the
conclusion that work and immortality are
widely disassociated. In a recent paper
on the subject he says:
The popular impression is that women
wageworkers are not up to the standards
prevalent under the old hand system of
labor and that woman's entrance into the
industrial field has lowered her moral
standard, and the statement is constantly
made that low wages naturally compel
women to supplement their earnings by
an immoral life. Those who know the cir
cumstances best are convinced that this
view is absolutely false and that the
workingwomen Of this or any other civil
lied country are upon as high a plane of
purity as any class in the community.
at should be borne in mind that regu-
lar employment Is conducive to regular
living, and that regular employment does
not as a rule harmonic with life of i'm
morality and intemperance or even of
crime. An official investigation into the
character, surroundings and conditions of
workingwomen in % of the large cities of
the United States, comprehendng infor-
nation relating to 1866 fallen women,
showed that a large proportion of them
Il, 155) came from Homework and hotel
work. the next largest (5O5) were from the
ranks of seamstresses, dressmakers and
employees of cloak and shirt factories.
While 1895 or 3l.97 per cent. of the entire
number, came directly from their homes"

TWO GAMES ARRANGED
The B. & M. and Billings Team
Will Contest.
NEW PLAYERS ENGAGED
Billings Tour Was a Most Successful
One-Won Nine Games Out of
Eleven-Helena Games
Are Of.

The Billings baseball team arrived in
Butte yesterday from its trip south. 1t
was arranged late yesterday afternoon
that the B. & NJ. team will play the
Billings team to-day and tomorrow. L.
is stated that the 3. & NJ. team has Sc
cured some new players and will be
strong enough to give Billings a run.
The trip of the Billings team was a
very successful one. Out of II games
played on the trip, the club won nine
and lost two. 1t won two of the three
games played in Helena. one out of two
in Ogden; three straight in Salt Lake
and three straight in Pocatello Flan-
merry, formerly of the Butte team, but
now of Billings, said Yesterday:
I'VE wanted to play the deciding
game in Ogden, but could not come to
any agreement with the Ogden players.
One of the Walker boys offered purse
of $500 to the winner Of the third game,
and We were willing to play for the
whole amount, but Ogden refused to
play unless we agreed to divide the
purse with them, win or lose. We did
not consider this sportsmanlike or fair
to the man who offered the purse, and
so the game fell through.
When we learned that the three
games in Butte were off we wired Hell
ena to get three games with them. The
Helena people Were willing to take the
dates, but they wanted the games
played in Helena. Our management,
however, would not allow us to play
in Helena any more until Helena had
first played a return series in Billings
AS a compromise we offered to play
three games with Helena in Butte en-
the dates thrown up by the Butte team
but the Helenas would not play here
We had three games scheduled with
the Helenas for fair week in Billings,
but Helena declared these three games
would be off unless we accepted the
proposition to first play three more
games in Helena. So these games are
off and do not know what club We will
play at Billings during the fair"

SWEETS FOR THE SWEET.
Women's Passion for Candy Is Not Re-
Gently Acquired.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
There are few women nowadays who
have not a sweet TOOTH" and If it was
not for the sex the confectoners would
soon be forced out of the business. The
liking for sweets has not been recently
acquired. In all ages it has been the
prerogative of women to indulge their
taste for confections almost without
limit. Sugar plums date back from
Roman times, for Romans We're the
first to think of covering almonds
with layers of sugar The inventor was
a certain Julius Dragatus, a noted con-
fectioner who belonged to the illus
trious patrician family of Fabius. He
made this great discovery which has
wrought so much damage to our teeth
for 20 centuries, in the year III Il. {.
These bonbons, called dragati, after
their inventor drag in French), re-
manned the exclusive privilege of the
family of Fabius. But at the birth or
marriage at one of that family great
distribution of dragati took place, as a
sign of rejoicing. The custom is still
observed by many of the nobility of
Europe. The .pastile is of far later
origin, having been invented and in
troduced into France by an Italian
confectioner, the Florentine John Pas
tilla, a protege of the Medicis. When
Maria De Medicl married Henry ~. of
France Pastilla accompanied his SOW
erign to the French court, where his
bonbons had tremendous vogue. EN-
erybody wanted the Florentines pas
tiles, and, strange to say they were
perfection from the very beginning. He
made them with all kinds of fiaVors-
chocolate, coffee, rose, violet, mint,
wine, strawberry, raspberry vanilla,
heliotrope and carnation. Burnt al
monds are purely of French origin, ow-
ing their inception to the gluttony of
certain French merchant. One day
Marshal Duplessis- Pralin, an old gour-
met, sent for Lassagne, who had al
ready invented many a toothsome
dainty and was a man of resources.
He searched, he reflected, he COM
bined, until finally he conceived a de-
licious bonbon, which he baptised
gloriously with the name of his master,
Praline, the French for burnt almonds.
This is the history of the invention of
bonbons, for all others are merely
combinations or developments of these
three-the sugar plum, the pastile and
the burnt almond.

A BEAUTIFUL OPERA.
Mariana Presented for the First Time in
Butte.

The beautiful and tuneful opera
Mariana" was produced for the first
time in Butte last night by the Boston
Lyric Opera COMPANY. and was the
prettiest and most artistic opera done
by the company during the week
Every one in Butte who has seen the
play Don Caesar de Bazan" is faml-
lar with the story of Mariana, for the
opera and the play are identical. There
are few light operas that contain more
beautiful music than does Mariana, :"
for there is not a poor member in it,
Josephine Stanton's capabilities We're
taxed by the hard role of Mariana,
but her voice was fully equal to it.
Henry Hallam, the Don Caesar, sang
the part well, of course. Lovette Rock
well, Eugene Rogers, Katherine Mac
Nell and the other principals appeared
to specially good advantage, while the
chorus met all the requirements of the
opera.
At the matinee this afternoon Era
DlaVolo,' will be given and this evening
for the final performance of the engage
ment, THE Musketeers."

MELL|ER IS BOUND OVER
He Must Answer the Charge of
Grand Larceny.
OTHER CASE DISMISSED
The Boy, Lafayette Hamilton. Denied
Having Any Connection With the
Robbery = Could Hardly
Lift the Cathode.

At intervals between the taking of
testimony in the Boyd hearing Justice
Nichols yesterday heard further testi-
mony in the two cases against Eugene
o. Mellier, that of grand larceny for
the alleged theft of 600 pounds of cop
per from the Anaconda company, and
of receiving property knowing it to
have been stolen, both of which were
on preliminary hearing and had been
continued to yesterday for the taking
of further testimony. Both cases were
disposed of, that of receiving stolen
property being dismissed and the de-
PENDANT being held to the district court
in the grand larceny case.
In the grand larceny case, the de-
tense at the time of the former sit
ting produced witnesses, who testified
to seeing two boys break open the car
from which the copper was taken, of
the theft of which Mellier stood charged.
One of these boys name was given as
Lafayette Hamilton, and to procure his
attendance the continuance in the case
was taken.
Yesterday the boy was brought into
court and questioned. He denied hav-
ing had any connection with the rob-
berry of the car and told where he was
the Sunday the robbery occurred. The
boy was only 10 years old and very
small. He was asked to lift the cath
ode of copper in evidence and tried it.
He could barely move 1t. 1t will be
remembered that the witness who
accused him said he picked it up and
carried 1t under his arm.
Fred and Adam Hahn, two other
boys were then called by the defense.
They also told how easily the Hamil-
ton boy had handled the big slab of
copper Adam said young Hamilton
told him he knew where there was a
car of copper and they went to it and
young Hamilton threw out a slab and
carried it ~ feet and back and helped
put it in the car again The other
brother said the Hamilton boy carried
one slab home and hid it under the
porch of his fathers house. This con-
cluded the taking of evidence and con-
tinuance was again taken till the Sec
ond case should be disposed of.
At the adjournment of the Boyd case
the court took up the case in which
Mellier was accused of buying some
brass casting that had been stolen
from the street railway company and
of having made the purchase knowing
them to have been stolen. The exami-
nation of Aaron Gross, a junk man,
failed to bring out anything either for
or against the accused and the de-
PENDANT then took the stand. He was
not positive, but thought he bought
part of the castings in evidence from
boy along last January or February.
He sold some brass to the Blumkin
Junk company on June 81 He did
not know when he bought the cast
ings that they were stolen.
Mr. Connolly did not care to ask to
have the defendant held on the charge
of receiving stolen property and the
case was dismissed. In the grand lar
ceny case the court bound the defend
ant over to the district court. The
bond was fixed at $780, and the de-
PENDANT was re-committed.
