tPenched.

Lon lon, 2:2) p. m.-The absence of
news OF Yesterdays movement north Of
the Tugela river is occasioning some adj
ditional anxiety, but Butler is engaged
in big operations, which will take con-
siderable time to work out. Even the
slight advance of Warren's forces, after
two days fighting does not appear to
have yielded an important advantage 70
the British, as the captured kopjes
were evidently the ones held as advanced
posts in order to delay the progress Of
the British troops aud enable the Beers
to complete their entertainments and
mount guns on the positions
on which they have selected to make
their stand. 1t is remarked that the
Beers thus far have used little artillery,
from which it is Judged that their guns
are already mounted in tactical positions
from which the British will have to dis
lodge the republicans before reaching
Ladysmith. There is no confirmation OF
the rel ,ort that Dundonald has entered
Ladystnith and none is expected. Elk

Wool Buyers Still Anxious to Pro
cure Advance Contracts.


Representatives of Boston wool houses
are still abroad in the lan4, seeking for
owners OF sheep who have less faith in
5ne wool market than have the Boston
houses, says tne Great Falls Tribune.

cept this prlca, ana then the bids went
up to Z04 cents. Still responses
were not numerous enough to satisfy the
eager Boston people, and they lave ad-
vanced the price to % cents.
Senator Is. D. Phillips, OF Choteau
county, whose sheep run near Malta, was
offered p cents a few days ago. He con
cluded that he hal as much use for the
advance to come as have the Boston
men, and rejected the offer.
George Jones of Malta was also cffered
2 cents and,re2use1 TO contract at that
price. The buyer asked him not to
accept any otaes bid 10. a month.
joseph HirshoerG, OF Helena, whose
sheep are run near Chinook has closed d
deal for his entire clip at q cents.
William Henson, whose sheep range
on Wayns creaS, Cnoteau county, has
also accepted an offer of q cents.
The Sage Creek Sheep company, Of
Fergus county, is reported to have re
lected an offer OF D cents for its entire
clip, one the largest in the state.
In Daw30n.and Caster counties, here
the wool always sells lower than in the
northern part of the state, several deals
at Il cents have been closed.
All the contracts contain an agreement
that II the owner should sell to any
other person, he must forfeit one cent
per pound; but here does not seem to
be anything to bind the Boston people.

A Strange incident is reported from
South Auburn, according to the Lew
iston (Me.) Journal. Two gentlemen,
strangers, driving through the coun-
try apparently for pleasure, called at
q farmhouse and asked a little girl
standing at the threshold for drink
Of water. The child brought out two
glasses of water, and each of the gen.
tlemen gave the child Is CENTS. AS
they were about driving away one of
the family asked If the gentlemen
would like to hear the little boy ire
cite. a piece ''Of course we would, -
they replied. The lad recited his
''piece" with admirable effect, and one
of the gentlemen was so pleased that
he said, handing the boysaaabank bill:
"Here's a little something for your
education" The lad ran in to- his
mother and the gentlemen turned to
drive away, when the lad, running
breathlessly after them. exclaimed:
'Look a-here-you've made a c'istake.

said the stranger, "that's no mistake;

the fortieth and forty-tifth parallels
of latitude and extending from the
Atlantic ocean to the Missouri river;
the true dairying districts were
thought to be in different sections,
occupying not more than one-third
of the area of this belt. These ideas
have been exploded. It has been
proved that good butter and cheese
can be made, by proper management,
in almost all parts of North America.
Generally speaking, good butter can
be made wherever good beef can be
produced. Advantages unquestion-
ably exist in the climate, soil, water
and heritage of certain sections, but
these factors are largely under con-
troll, and what is lacking in natural
conditions can be supplied by tact and
skill. So that, while dairying is in

agricultural interest over large areas

But the absurdities are not all in

ing on this plan in 1851. He was so
successful that a special building was
erected the next year and fitted up
with the best apparatus obtainable.
Cheese factories were soon started
in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and then in
other states, east and west. In 1869
the number: in the whole country ex-
ceeded 1000, and from that time the
cooperative or factory, system prac.
tically superseded the making of
cheese on farms.
Making butter in quantity from
milk or cream collected from numer-
Gus farms soon followed as the next
advance in American dairying. Such
establishments are properly butter
factories, but the name of "cream-
cry" has been generally adopted, and
is not likely to be changed. The first
creamery was built by Alanson
Slaughter. near Waikiki, Orange
county, N. Y, in the year 1861. The
milk from. 375 cows was received here
daily. In Illinois the first cheese fac
tory was started in 1863 anu the first
creamery in 1867. In Iowa these re-

forward movement. The price Of
cheese, which was ten cents per pound
and less in 1860, rose to Is cents in
1868 and to 20 cents and over in 1865.
The foreign demand increased also,
and the yearly cheese exports rose
from 1000" COO pounds in. 1850 to 49,
DOC, 900 in 1860 and to almost 5O.CO0,-
00c in 1865. Ten years later over 100,-
100000 pounds were exported.
Although several earlier instances
of associated dairying have been au-
thenticated, which were locally sue
cessful, it is generally conceded that
the credit of establishing the first real
cheese factory, which served as a
model and incentive to others, belongs
to, Jesse Williams, of Oneida county,
N. Y. Mr.. Williams lived upon his
farm, near Rome. He was AN expe-
rienced>and slzill1ul cheese maker, and
his dairy had such a good reputation
and it's product was so eagerly sought
at prices above the average, that he
increased his output of cheese by add

HENRY 1RV1NG'S B0DYGUARD.
Bran StOker's Economic Method OF
Granting n Begging Letter
Request.

Like all men who are continually in
the public eye, Sir Henry Irving, the
English actor, receives a great many
begging letters, and but for Bran
Stoker, his business manager, would
grant most of the requests contained
in such communications. Not long ago
Irving received letter from a man
in Paris who told of his marked like.
ness to the great actor. At first. the
stranger wrote, it was a pleasure to
be taken for so distinguished man.
but in time the novelty wore off and
he had been both annoyed and EN-.
barrassed by the continual necessity
of explaining. that he was he, and not
Sir Henry. The letter concluded by
mentioning that .$25 or $50 would be
of considerable service to him. Would
Sir Henry remit by2return of post and
thus in q measure atone for the an
noyance to which the likeness had
subjected him?
Irving, says the narrator, happened
to read the letter to Bran Sucker and

touch of the bizarrerie as long as it
gives her gown unlike her social
rivals, and what in the Pans fashion
world is most exclusive.
These painted ideas are also extend
ed to dainty little evening wraps that
are of satin, silk or velvet, mostly in
white or other delicate colors, and
with long stole ends and ruchings of
lace, mousseline de sole and chiffon.
One of these hand painted walking
toilettes seen OH a fashionable boule-
ward few days ago was of a light
weight cloth in tone of earth brown.
1t was made with plain skirt, with a
few gathers in the back, and which
was deliberately hand painted half
way to the waist line with brownish
yellow crysanthemums The vest and
high stock were of white tucked chit
fon, with the cloth cut in deep van
dykes over the chiffon, and broug ht
PLAINLY to the waist line. This is also
covered with the painted chrysan-
themums. as were also the plain sleeves.
Another of these gowns was of
white muslin. The skirt of this had a
hand painted front panel, with a deep
border around the sides and back. A
black chiffon sash was drawn across
the back at the waist line with long
fluffy ends at each side of the panel.
The bodice has a square yoke and
pointed vest of shirred muslin, edged
on each side with black velvet, and
hand painted from the shoulder to
just below the bust. The upper part
of the sleeves are also painted; with
the lower portion full and a hand
painted cuff.
One of the most startling of these
gowns was of pearl gray satin NOUS
seine. The skirt had three wee ruch-
ings of satin ribbon, with the entire
front hand painted with large roses
that are caught with lovers knots to
represent ribbon. The bodice had a
tucked vest of pearl gray mousseline
de sole, with the satin mousseline in
short bolero effect, and slightly
pouched front. This was handsomely
painted with the same design as the
skirt. It had elbow sleeves of the
satin mousseline, with the. gray NOUS
seine de- soie from the elbow to the
wrist. SADIE MERRITT.
