GETTING READY TO WORK
Plans Made by City Engineer
Bickenbach.
STREETS TO BE GRADED
Sewers to Be Laid in the Southern Part
OF the City-There Is an Accumu-
lntion Of Proposed I'm
provements.

City Engineer Bickenbach, reminded
by this spell of soft weather that spring
IS coming and that the frost is bound
10 leave the ground. is oiling the NUM-
cipal go devil and polishing the plow
share preparatory to beginning work
on his annual spring improvements. As
soon as practicable work that was
stopped last fall will DC resumed. This
Is the grading of Gaylord, Atlantic.
Grant and Oklahoma streets from Park
to Mercury. The necessary red tape
process in this proposition has been
completed and all that remains to be
done is the labor necessary to comply
with the orders of the council. These
streets within the prescribed limits for
improvements will be put in navigable
shape.
Another improvement will be per-
formed in the laying of sewers in the
southern part of the city, draining the
territory down Iowa avenue to Front
street, from Lower Main, Maryland and
Colorado streets. This will be done as
soon as possible after the council re-
solves to accept the Carte Blanc addi-
ton, through portion of which the
mitted to the council fer it's consdera-
ton, and will no doubt be accepted
This is only a detail in the accumu-
lation of proposed improvements to the
city this year. There is a lot of paving
to be done. and before work begins on
this line series of objections must be
considered. A number of protests have
already been filed, but there are also
protests against the protests. Yester-
day John H. Curtis a large prop arty
owner. went to the city clerks office to
record vigorous protest against the
protesters in the paving proposition. He
said that he has been called upon to pay
paving assessments and that he has
paid them in a spirit of good will to-
wards the city generally He believes
in improving the city and discounten-
ances the idea of a man appearing be-
fore his fellow man with a kick against
improving the city. He will adj
dress the council on the matter at its
next meeting.

THE HANDSOMEsT ON WHEELS.
A Revelation in Butte's Manufacturing
Possibilities.


In conformity with its correctness and
elegance in everything, the Hennessy
Mercantile company yesterday placed
in service a new delivery turnout which
is not only marvel of beauty, sur
passing anything of the kind in the
West. but which, as well. demonstrates
the ability of Butte manufacturers to
compete with those of the great cities
of the East. In view of the fact that
the appearance of this handsome affair
has been largely and favorably COM
mented upon. it may not be inoppor-
tune to state that the handsome wagon
was manufactured by the Standard
Carriage Works of this city, and the
superb harness by the Butte Harness
company. Both of these concerns are
the largest in their lines in the entire
Northwest.
The wagon is of the undercut style
with full back front. upholstered in
leather. The body is closed and pro-
vided with double doors at the back
The lower portion of the body is black
and the upper panels bottle green. be-
tween which there appears in panel of
deep carmine the name 'IIennessys,"
in gold letters. Around the roof Of the
body is solid brass railing. The gear
is bottle green, striped in red. Plate
glass carriage lamps enhance the beauty
of the wagon on either side.
The new vehicle is drawn by two
handsome jet black horses, wearing
heavy coach harness, full solid brass
mounted. The effect is heightened by
chain standing martingales. The relns
are of russell leather
This is without exception the finest
set of coach harness to be seen in Butte
and reflects great credit upon it's
makers

CHANCES FOR NEGROES.
Opportunities in Cuba for Those Who
VIII Work.

Havana Letter in Leslie's Weekly
Inquiries have been made by negroes. Ev-
cry idle negro in this land-and there are
three millions or such in the South. of both
seXes-ought to grasp the golden opportuni-
ties which the opening of Cuba offers their
race. First, as soldiers in the army of oc-
cupation We have a colored population,
of the age for military service, amounting
to ], 800 900, and, considering their services in
the war just ended, the military efficiency
of colored troops is no longer to be disputed.
AS an army of occupation in a tropical eli
mate, their desirability over white troops
is distinctly manifest. In Cuba the race
and color prejudice is not so strong as here.
It exists scarcely at all. Moreover, their
use for such a purpose will tend to give
their race o dignity which it will prize,
Here is a great chance for the coored peo-
pie, affording them the opportunity for ad-
Vancement in reputation which their leaders
and well-wisherS are seeking for them.
1t is a psychological fact that soldiers
are not as a rule subject to the allurements
of commercial advantages; but then, the
soldiers can go as soldiers only. and there
will still be hundreds of thousands of ne
groes out of the army who will appreciate
No other race in the wide world has SO ex-
cellent an opportunity to get ahead. Here
is a ready-made garden open to them,
awaiting only their coming to yield them
something more in life than the corn-pone
upon which they are now living. There is a
reasonably good chance in Cuba for every
unmarried negro man or woman, who can
command few dollars over the necessary
car and steamer fare.
The reason that so little progress is being
made this winter in Cuban industries, espe-
cially in the mines, is because of a want
of hands: The negroes who used to work
in the mines are nearly all in the insurgent
army, This army, to be sure, is to be dis
banded on the oath of February; but any
one who knows the Cuban negroes knows
that after their three years of doing nothing
as soldiers they will not readily return to
work. In the bushes, living on any nutri-
tious thing that grows, they have found life
much too easy to wish to change its form.
Meanwhile the mining companies want hum
dreds of men to work as miners, the pay
being rs cents a day and upward, or about
the same wages that are paid to the work
ers in the phosphate mines of Florida. The
mining companies, moreover. will board

CONCERNING DIALECT.
1t May BE "a Perfect Form of Language
for Highest Uses.
New York Independent.

New York Independent.
The wide popularity of Mr.. Kipling' 9
strong and magnetic slang poems, and the
almost equally popular so-called dialect
poems of Mr.. Riley, may be accepted as
the origin of the interesting discussion Of
dialect in literary art. 1t is not our pur-
pose to attempt a solution of the problem
involved; but 1t will be well II in our schools
and colleges the youthful students of liter
ature have their attention called to the true
meaning Of the word dialect" and have
their understanding fully enlightened as to
what should be meant when we speak of a
dialect in literature.
OF course the loose style somewhat in
dulged in by most of u.s. when not upon our
best behavior, might be as we'll called dia-
lect as the speech of carelessnes or igno-
rance inVoluntaTily adopted by rustics or
other uneducated people. But a dialect is a
variation of language not necessarily due to
want Of culture. In fact, where the Varia-
ton is due solely to ignorance, it cannot
be literary dialect for the reason that 1t
will lack uniformity. Were it otherwise we
might discover almost as many dialects as
there are neighborhoods in some of our
rural regions.
Our schools and colleges should teach
young men and women to know that mere
vulgar incorrectness of pr 3nunciation and
phrasing cannot properly be called dialect
in the literary sense of the word dialect
may be a perfect form of language adapted
to the purest artistic use and for the ex-
preston of the highest ideals of the Gull
dialect, Homer another, Pindar and TheO-
critus sim another; but ali wrote the ian
guage of the most refined art There is no
dialect of the English language, in the sense
that Doric, Aeolic and Epic were Greek dia-
lects.
We are not here questioning the right Of
our poets to use uncultivated and incorrect
modes of speech in representing, dramat-
ically or otherwise, the lives and actions of
uncultivated people. To be sure they may
have carried the thing beyond safe bounds
and there may be danger of a lesion to pop
ular taste which will require years of cor
rect training for its cure but what is GER
tainly needed now, in the way Of rectify-
ing looseness in criticism, is a return to the
weil-marked lines of scholarly knowledge
and a care for the best linguistic traditions.
