Wonderful Japs.

The Akimoto japanese club gave
good performance at the Grand last
night to a fair house. The wonderful
laps gave one of the cleverest exhibit
tions of the kind ever seen in Butte.
Besides the Japs there were number
of good specialties, the best among
them being the Schrode brothers with
their trick cottage, the acrobatic Ryan
brothers. George H. Wilson, the dane
ing comedian. There was considerable
ppointment on account of an acct
dent in making electrical connections,
which prevented the appearance of Miss
Rose Randall with her illuminated
songs.

things, three blank forms of will which
he is at liberty to fill out at his leisure.
In a;majority Of cases, however, he pays
no attention to this pocketbook and
goes into battl with his will still un-
made. After he has been hit by a bull
let and begins to realize that his
chances of getting home are small, the
soldier begins to think more carefully
of the loved ones left behind him and
of the provisions he has made for their
comfort. As a result many queer and
pathetic wills have been found upon
the bodies Of dead soldiers, and in every
case the wishes of the testator have
been respected. During the soudan
campaign Of 1884 the body Of one sol
der was found on the battlefield Of FL
aTeb, who, before death, had scraWled
with the end of a lead bullet on the in
side of his helmet, the words: All to
my wife" When an English army in
svaded Afghanistan one soldier was
caught while doing scout duty and shot
down when none of his comrades were
in sight. Weeks afterwards his body
was found lying before tall rock on
which he had written in letters Of
blood: IT want all to go to mother
In both eases the war depart held
the wills to be valid, and saw that the
proper distribution Of the property
was made.

How Two Philadelphia Inventors

The chargers coat of mail of the old

for many years, and it has never, ap-{

time to protect the cavalry horse from
injury by some sort Of sarmor, until
Franz Hieke and Conrad Hieke, of Phil

equipment here illustrated. This ar

This is no very easy wish to crafty for
a rich man who is not a spendthrift.
But the bishop went about his work
with Judgment and activity and before
he was ready to retire into his orphan
asylum he had given away everything
to worthy religious or charita bic enter
prises. The orphan asylum, which was
created by him, was his pet charity. He
solicited many of the funds which
built 1T, but most of them were con-
tributed from his own private fortune.
When he began to feel the stress of age
he retired into his beloved institution
an asylum for him in every sense Of the
word.
, Many pretty instances are related of
his truly Christian feeling and his great
humility. Sister Joseph he said one
day, where do you place my name in
your regular report of the inmates Of
the orphanage? Am Iclassed with the
children ~ When the sister informed
him that he was mum bered among the
"old people, he replied: Thereafter

He was the most remarkably self
sacrificing man ] ever knew" said the
mother superior of the Providence or

his stay here i could not fail to notice
many little things that would illustrate
his character. His greatest desire was
to make the children happy. He was
extremely humble, and aside from the
small change he left in his desk, his
earthly possessions consisted OF his
clothing, and canassure you his ward
robe was scanty and poor at that.

This constitutional amendment was
made to prevent counties in the state
from being divided up without the CON
sent Of a majority of the people.
In order to get this island into such a
condition that the inhabitants can vote
it is necessary to have it annexed to.
Clay county. It was hoped that this
vember with the judicial election, but
the secretary of state decided that it
would take a general election, which
will not be held until the fall of 1900.
At that time the people all over the
county will vote on the question wheth-
er or not the island shan be annexed.
It is, however, extremely doubtful if
such an election will ever carry,
The people in the northern part Of
the county are for the most part farm
ers. These, farmers are most decidedly
against expansion in the southern part
of the domain, for the reason that it,
would give the citizens of the little
town Of Vermiion control Of about %
votes, to have the island annexed.
The inhabitants Of the island are the
.outlanders" Of Clay county. They we're
very graciously given the privilege of
paying taxes into the county treasury,
and they can also be brought before
the county court to have justice melted
out to them, but they cannot vote.
The wealthy farmers in the northern
part of the county will keep On rolling
up their wealth and any and every pet
scheme that they want to become a law

that a majority can never be secured
