SAL AIRY CRAB IS STOPPED
Mayor Harrington Sends in a
Very Decisive Veto.
FORBIDDEN BY THE LAW
Twenty-Five Dollars Month the Larg
est Recompense an Alderman Is
Permitted to Receive-The
Claim Merltorious.

Mayor Harrington yesterday stepped
upon the salary grab proposition with
a great big foot. 1t seems that last
November a special committee of the
council was appointed to appraise the
benefits resulting from the condemna-
ton of certain property. The alder
men appointed as such committee were
Page, Cannon and Rowan. The alder
men did their work well and are really
deserving of some recompense for
their services. But there is no stricter
law on the statutes of the state of
Montana than that no alderman shall
receive larger recompense for his
services than s25 per month. In the
face of this law it is utterly impossible
legally to award aldermen any addi-
tional compensation, no matter how
meritorious the claim might be. While
there can be no question of the fact
that in this instance the aldermen have
really earned something, the precedent
of paying them something not allowed
by law would be most dangerous No
body could tell where it would end.
The bill for extra compensation for
lDeSe dlueIIlleH Was HISl .dcleu Oh ny
the council about month ago. II was
defeated in the council by a vote of
five to eight 1t was revived at the
meeting of the council held last We'd
nesday evening and was ruled by the
mayor to be out of order An appeal
was taken from his decision and the
appeal was sustained by a vote of II
to 3. Warrants were ordered drawn in
favor of these aldermen for the sums
named.
Yesterday, however, the mayor in
structed the city clerk not to drawn the
warrants in question. He filed the fol-
lowing veto. which will be read at the
next council meeting:
Butte. Mont. April "a, 1899.
ITO the Honorable City Council of
the City of Butte-Gentlemen: At the
last regular meeting of the council held
April 10, 1899, bills from Aldermen Page
Cannon and Rowan for $50 each were
allowed by the council and warrants
ordered drawn for the respective
amounts. These amounts are claimed
for services for seven days at IS per
day as commissioners in appraisng
benefits to property declared to have
era streets in the city of Butte by
condemnation proceedings in the dis
trict court during the past year.
THE authority vested in the claim
ants in this case was given them by a
resolution adopted by the council on
Nov. 16, 1898, Which authorized the
mayor to appoint a select committee
of three aldermen to appraise the ben

CONTROVERSY IS ENDED
Burke and Balaklava Mining
Claims Finally Leased
TO THE FIRST APPLICAN I
1t Was So Ordered by the Court-Judee
Lindsay Did Not Like the Idea of
Acting as Auctioneer-Volker
in. More Trouble.

The controversy over the lease on
the Burke and Balaklava mining claims
| owned by the James Tuohy estate was
ended yesterday by Judge Lindsay, who
ordered the executor, Cyril Pauwelyn,
to lease the property to Messrs. McSher-
ry Ryan and Britt, who made the first
application for lease, Offering to pay
25 per cent. loyalty. The executor Sc
cured permission from the court to
lease the property to them, but after
wards asked to have the order revoked
because he had obtained a better offer
from other parties, who agreed to pay
% per cent. on the smelter returns. ex-
pend $4,000 in development work and
pay the estate a bonus of $500. The
court instructed the executor to see Nc
Sherry and his partners and ascertain
whether they would meet the new offer
and he replied that they would. Yester-
day he again petitioned the court to
revoke the order and to allow him to
lease the property as he saw fit, stat
ing that he had received another offer
raising the bonus to $1,000. The court
denied the petition, and in doing so
said:
This is the second occasion upon
which the court has been petitioned to
revoke it's order with reference to the
leasing by the executor of the Balak-
lava and Burke lodes. If the court sus-
tanned this petition it is problemat teal
as to when the end would be reached
The judge of the court has acted as
auctioneer in this proceeding just about
long enough. The order last made will
stand and the executor is again directed
to execute and deliver a lease of the
premises in question to MeSSrs. McSher-
ry, Ryan and Britt"
Constable Joseph Volker, who has had
all kinds of trouble during his short
official career, has not been doing much
business lately and he blames Justice
E. A. Nichols for it, who, he says, has
been ignoring him, and yesterday he
commenced mandamus proceedings in
the district court to compel Judge Mich
OILS to give him something to do. He re-
lates in his petition that he and P. J.
Harrington were elected constables for
Silver Bow township and that they
made an agreement between themselves
by which Harrington was to attend to
Justice Tim Harringtons court and
Volker was to do business in Justice
Nichols court. They further agreed
that neither should interfere with the
business of the other. Continuing his
complaint, olller says that on April
Is, II and IS, and for long time prior
to that time Justice Nichols has re-
fused to give him any work or to de-
liver any papers to him to be served
though he repeatedly made demand
for them For more than two weeks

In the damage suit of William r.
Benham against the Standard Publish
ing company, growing out of the pub
l1cation of an article relating to a COM
plant made to the county attorney to
the effect that Benham had neglected
some cattle in his corral, an answer was
filed yesterday by the defendant. The
answer admits the publication of the
article. but denies that it related to his
butcher business or that he was injured
in his business or social standing The
article was published in good faith as
matter of court news. A. r. Recore, the
person named in the article, made a.
complaint to the county attorney in his
official capacity, and Recore applied for
a complaint and warrant for Ben
ham. which were drawn up and sworn
to before Justice of the Peace Trap.
The warrant was issued and a consta BILE
started out to arrest Benham. The an
sWer says that as to whether the COM
munication was privileged or not is a
matter of law to be determined by the
court.

BICYCLES ABROAD,
One Comes Across Persons Awheel In
Odd Corners of the
Earth.

One comes across bicycles in the odd
est corners. Take Persia, the alleged
land of gazelle-eyed damsels and limpid
streams and rose bowers. There,
around the city of Teheran, may be
seen Englishmen and English girls hav-
ing jaunt, just as you might see them
on the Portsmouth road. When the BIZ
cycle was first introduced into Persia,
the late shah, Nasr-i-Din, while out rid
ing one day, met traveller on a bicycle.
He was immensely amused and insisted
on having a race. Then he borrowed
the bicycle and had it taken to the pal
ace. He insisted that his ministers of
state should ride. 1t was more than the
head of grand vizier was worth to re-
fuse, so the poor ministers jumped on
and fell off, tried again and then came
troopers, and altogether were obliged
to supply his majesty with half an
hours amusement. The Persian dearly
loves this sort of uncomfortable prac-
tical joke.
Says a writer: 81 had an experience
myself at Ispahan, in central Persia,
with Zil-i-Sultan, brother of the present
shah. l was spending an afternoon at
the palace, and the prince, whose in
clinations are chiefly military, asked
me a lot of questions about the useful
ness of bicycles in warfare. Unfor-
tunately, my knowledge of warfare was
minimum quantity, and l could only
speak generalities. In the grounds of
the palace l rode up and down, just to
give his highness an idea of how easy
bicycling was. Then he asked me to
ride down particular path as fast as
could. l didn't see the CLEAN in his eye
as | set off. was going at tolerably
swift speed, when, to my horror,
spied wall-like drop in front of me-
was OFF the machine in trice, and just
saved both neck and bicycle from stimuli
taneous breakage. Turning round, l
saw the prince bent double, crimson
faced and nearing apoplexy from laugh
ter. l do really believe he would have
enjoyed smash-up. Since then have
sometimes thought that if only l had
broken my skull he might have deco
rated me with the Order of the Lion and
the Sun.
"Burmah is a country you conceive
to be chiefly made up of thick Jungle
and pagodas. Yet there is plenty of cy-
cling in the land of the Lord White Ele-
phant. There is good little club at
Rangoon, and it has runs round the
lakes and occasionally up to Pegu,
some 60 miles away. I'll always re-
member my surprise when l reached
Mandalay after sloppy journey along
the jungle paths. l was little eager
to see this famous city. Suddenly the
rough road changed to a good level
macadam; there were cabs rafting to
the station, and there was a pretty
checked English girl, in blouse and
straw hat, on her bicycle. 1t seemed
strange to find girl cycling away in
that corner of the world! And yet there
are many English cyclists in Man
dalay."-Chicago Evening News.

WOES OF STENOGRAPHERS.
The Girls Have Difficulty in Finding
Substitutes During Eaca-
ton Time.

"This Is the time of year when our
troubles begin and when we have to do
some hard thinking in order to lessen
them,' remarked young woman
stenographer in a large office, where
more than dozen young women who
play the typewriter and draw "crow
tracks" in notebooks are employed.
She added:
1T is the hardest thing in the world
for us to find substitutes to do our
work while we are on a vacation. 1t
isn't because there are not plenty of
women who are willing and anxious
to relieve us. Why, u two-line 'ad.' in
any paper would bring applicants
enough to fill each of our places twice
over, but"
Wouldn't they be likely to prove
satisfactory" inquired listener.
"Oh, yes" was the reply, IF they at
tended to business. If the sub is up
to the mark in skill and looks after her
duties, all goes well, but four times out
of five such is not the case We select
our substitute and spend couple of
days showing her how things should be
done, and then go away with con-
tented mind. Before the end of the
first week we hear all sorts of discour-
aging reports from the office. The new
girl has been sick half of the time and
correspondence has had to lie over; or
the work has been harder than she ex-
pected, and she has asked to be relieved
of part of it until she became acquaint-
ed with the routine.
"lf,' continued the young woman,
'she is punctual and willing to work,
it is not unusual to find that her serv-
ices are of little or no value. She per-
sists in spelling words with one when
two are needed, puts small letters
where there should be capitals, and
never makes more than one paragraph
to the page. OF course this state of
things makes it bad for the regular OPP
orator indirectly. If, for example, the
operator that relieves me for two or
three weeks this summer proves TO be
a plug the chances are that next year
l shall have to spend half the summer
looking for a competent relief or else
be deprived of holiday altogether
