1ngerson No. a1-"Custom meets us al
the cradle and leaves US only at the
tomb. Our first questions are answered
by Ignorance and our last by superstl-
ton. We are pushed and dragged by
countless hands along the beaten track,
and our entire training can be summed
up in the word-suppression."
1ngersoll No. 2--"NoW and then some
body examines, and in spite of all
keeps his manhood, and has the cour-
age to follow where his reason leads.
Then the pious get together and repeat
wise saws, and exchange knowing mods
and most prophetic winks. The stu
pidly wise sit owl-like on the dead
limbs of the tree of knowledge and
solemnly hoot. Wealth sneers and
fashion laughs, and responsibility
passes by on the Other side, and scorn
points with her skinny fingers. and all
the snakes of superstition writhe and
hiss and SANDER lends her tongue, and
infamy her brand, and perjury her oath.

Ingersoll No. Sit is magnificent
thing to be the sole proprietor of your
self 1t is terrible thing to wake up
at night and say, There is nobody in
this bed 1t is humilating to know
that your ideas are all borrowed; that
you are indebted to your memory for
your principles; that your religion is
simply one of your habits, and that
you would have convictions if they
were only contagious 1t is notifying
to feel that you belong to a mental
mob and cry, Cruelty him. because
the others do; that you reap what the
great and brave have sown, and that
you can benefit the world only by leav-

ought to attain to the dignity of the
unit. Surely it, is -worth something to
be one. and to feel that the census of
the universe would be incomplete with
out counting you.i's

was received here to-day to the effect
that negotiations have practically been
concluded under which the Tiger Poor
man mine will pass into the possession
of Charles Sweeny and his associates.
The negotiations have been in progress
several days The change of ownership
of this mine relieves one of the most
annoying features of the situation in
the Occur dAlenes. This is the mine
that is worked through a shaft. 1t has
to be pumped and the state authorities
permitted the pumpmen to continue
work without taking out permits. The
necessity for pumping entailed a large
expense to the mine, which will now
be operated, relieving this annoying
situation. Mr. Sweeny will take force
up from Wardner. A good many
miners, fine class of men, have al
ready gone into the district and the
authorities are in receipt of inquiries
from many points asking if new men
will be certain of protection.

HERE'S ONE MORE "ROYAL SEIZURE"
1t Is Reminder Of the One That Occurred in Butte
Once Before Upon Time-In Both Instances
It Is Clergyman and in Both
Popular Lecture

One of the most eloquent lectures ever
heard in Butte, probably was that de-
livered at the opera house Monday
night by Rev. j. gP MacCorry on the
subject of Individuality" The lecture
was an axle and VERY scholarly COM
position and was most eloquently de-
livered. In prefacing the lecture Father
MacCorry said he had been treated so
kindly in Butte that when he was re-
quested to deliver lecture he felt that
he should give the people the best he
had, for there was nothing too good for
them. 1t has often been said, and aptly
so, that great minds often run in the
same channel. A reminder of
Of this, when speaking of Father
MacCorry's lecture. is suggested by the

important The true man thinks. We
must learn to think. The people who
have accomplished much and lasting
good in the world have been wen who
cultivated their intellect. The broad
and deep river, bearing vessels of COM
merce upon its bosom owes its great
ness to the little streams combining to-
gether till they make the great volume
of water. So the men we call great,
and look up to almost with reverence,
owe their greatness to moments used
in cultivating the mind. The mind is
the glory of the man. and unless the
mind is trained, the man is a failure
Intelligence elevates the plebeian above
the patrician, it elevates the man from
the humblest position to the highest
place of honor. What star ever shone
with purer light or commanded more
admiration in the dazzling court OF
France than the plain but talented Ben
jamin Franklin? 1t is not genius that
makes the man, but genius sedulously
cultivated n-F.sy
I'VE cannot fulfill the mission of life
without work. Man is an active being.
1t is the law of the human constitution
that mankind shall find their happiness
and development in action, and 1t were

or to stay the fiery waves of the vol

is born for scheming, for daring, for

The ruins of the old world and the
magnificence of the new attest the fEct

True life is full of animation, perse-
verance, energy. force, determination,
stick-to-it-iveness. We succeed by per-
severing. James Watt persevered till
he gave the world the steam engine;
Morse till he gave us the electric tele-
graph. During the civil war it was all
quiet on the Potomac while Mcclellan
commanded. 1t was no better under
Banks. nor Halleck. nor Meade, but
when Grant, with his resistless energy,
took command it was quiet no longer,
but the army moved. 1t plunged into
the wilderness. 1t brooked no opposi-
ton. The cry was raised, ON to Rich
mond' and while Grant knew that
thousands of the choicest sons of this
great country must be sacrificed, he
was determined to crush the rebellion
and save the Union. So he pressed on
ward, over the DOdleS OF MS brave DuC
fallen men. Onward he went, nor did
he halt till at Appomattox he grasped
the sword of Lee. He conquered the
rebellion, he saved the country and
crowned himself the greatest military
commander the world has ever pro-
duced. We need energy and persever-
ance in this world of conflicts

the same -'Individuality," and
there are SO many Identical thoughts
expressed in the same words in the two
lectures that q few of them are worth
quoting as proof of the truth of the
old saying. OF course, there aresmany
things in Father MacCorryis lecture
that are not in the Ingersoll lecture,

Tngersoll No. SIT has always
seemed absurd to suppose that a God
would choose for his companions dur
ing all eternity the dear souls whose
highest and only ambition is to obey.
He certainly would now and then be
tempted to make the same remark
made by an English gentleman to his
poor guest. The gentleman had in
yited man in humble circumstances
to dine with him. The man was so
overcome with the honor that to every
thing the gentleman said he replied,
Yes Tired at last with the monotony
of acquiescence, the gentleman cried
out, For Gods sake, my good man, say
No just once SO there will be two

P0INCARE THE MAN.
He Will Probably Succeed in Forming
French Cabinet.


Paris, June 14.--President Loubet re-
ceived NJ. Poincare this morning for the
purpose of intrusting him with the task
of forming new cabinet. M. Poincare
will give the president definite reply
this evening. The interview between
Loubet and Poincare lasted half an
hour In reply to the presidents re-
quest that he form cabinet M. Poin-
care declared that for several years he
had kept aloof from politics and party
strife and was wholly unprepared TO
accept under the present circumstances
the responsibilities of the premiership.
NJ. Loubet, however, insisted, pointing
out that just for these reasons all fac
tons of republicans would accept his
leadership more readily, adding that
both the president of the senate, M
Falleres, and the president of the
chamber. NJ. Deschanet, had clearly
pointed him out as the man best fitted
to realize the concentration OF the re-
publicans. Finally NJ. Loubet appealed
to NJ. PoinCare's patriotism and the lat
ter thereupon consented to consult his
friends. Although it is realized there
are great difficulties in the way OF his
success, it is the general impression
that if NJ. Poincare is in earnest, he
will succeed in forming a cabinet

maligned; to be traduced, to be mis-
represented; to be attributed with sor-
did motives; to be called frantic. Let
a man once step upward from the ranks

viction where he stands alone and he
makes himself the target of devils and
men. Wise saws are then repeated

winks; wealth sneers; fashion giggles

owl-like upon his withered stump boots

is duty to God and man that we de-
velop to the uttermost the possibili
ties that are in US You see it is such
a magnificent thing to be unit; to
feel that you are one, personality, an
Individual. To be something of an in
vestigator; something of reasoner for
yourself. To feel that the census of
this big world would not be complete
unless you were counted in. And if
all this is glorious, how humiliating is
it's contrary? To feel that in all your
life you did not conceive a single
thought that was not borrowed a sim
gle conviction that was your own. How
notifying to wake up and find your
self just a fragment of a mental mob:
a sheep that plods blindly onward, just
because other sheep are plodding in
the same direction"
