The best. side of all good Underwear is the side that doesn't get next to you- that's been the guiding prin- ciple of underwear makers for years-shoW the best side out while the best side of HARDERFOLD UNDER WEAR is the inside, next to you and the outside too. How? It's two fold in text ure, with a inter-air space between, that keeps the body dry and warm. Next to your skin, your underwear if Hard- erfold, won't irritate.

Sapho will be at the Opera House
on Saturday, April 2Sth. The
original version that is meeting with
enormous success wherever it is
presented. The Daily Sarafogan
speaks as follows
The play may or may not have
been pruned. The manager ad-
monished the star in the presence
Of Chief Of Police Blodget to use
her discretion, and this doubtless
meant that certain sentences in the
dialogue should be forgotten.
Scenically, the play was barren of
suggestiveness. The manager, F.
L. Goodwin, said that to use the
ball room and staircase scene would
have been an infringement of the
New York version which the po-
lice, prompted by some newspapers,
have just suppressed. Manager
Goodwin maintained that he had
nothing offensive in the show and
that it was not salacious enough to
suit New York.
A performance similar to that of
last nights would not have been
suppressed in any place. Through
out the six acts there was nothing
that would bring legitimate bushes
to even sensitive cheeks. In the
fourth and fifth acts, Miss Effie
Elting rose to the requirements of
the occasion and demonstrated the
possession of emotional abilities of
a high order. A woman with a
scarlet past, she was not to be en-
We'd. Her impassioned revilement
of old-time lothario friends who had
faunted her disgrace in the face of
her latest victim or lover, was, tech
nically, a fine piece of acting.
There was not a single one in the
group who was morally qualified to
throw the first stone. Jean Gaus-
sins infatuation became more blind
at this point and the curtain drop.
ped OH their embrace.
The last act is a test to show
whether a woman of the type of
Fannie Legrand can have any re-
morse or dread the penalty of retri-
button. Perhaps fallen angels can
be relncarnated, and if they are,
"Sapho" has a chance. Outside Of
the experiences of the past and the
environment of the occasion, the
finale is affecting to the pathetic
point. Mention should be made of
the realistic presentation of the part
of "Caroudal," the sculptor, who
it was that in derision and con-
tempt born of experience first call
ed the fatally shapely Fanny Le-
Grand "Sapho."

CRITICIZES LABOR PARTY.

Alexander Mackel, law partner of Peter
Breen, a firm whose clientele is largely
among the labor element, was a delegate
to the populist convention at Helena.
and returned this morning.
Mr.. Mackel was reluctant to enter into
any extended interview concerning the
convention ad it's outcome. He sail he
wet there for the purpose of doing what
he could to effect fusion between one
wing of he democracy (meaning the
Bank wing) and the populists and labor
party. Mr.. Mackel was nominated for
attorney general by Jerry Connolly, but
owing to business reasons and because
he felt that he could do more for his
party by remaining as a layman in its
ranks, he declined the nomination.
AS far as the labor people are con-
cerned,' said Mr.. Mackel, II think they
acted very unwisely in refusing to fuse.
1t certainly looks to me now that an
election of their candidates is impossi-
BILE"
Mr.. Breen will return from the capital

Judge We Witt Pays a Tribute to His
Early Ability.

In speaking of the death of Mel. Wines
To-Day Judge Dewitt, who knew him
Well years ago said:
Mel. Wines death recalls to me the
early and pleasant experience I had with
that boy. He visited his brother-in-law.
Gallagher, in Butte, about 1888.
He was then a student in college. I met
him pleasantly at hat time. When he
had finished his course in college his
father asked me to take him into nv
office, which I did. He was with me Until,
l went upon the bench in the autumn of
1889. l became warmly attached to him
during the six or eight months he was
with me. He was then az faithful, stu
dious and brilliant a young nan as I
have met in this state. During the au-
tumn of 1889 I was somewhat Interested
In the state election and had an import
ant appeal in the Supreme court. I put
Mel. at work on the brief. and the brief
as filed was almost entirely his work. It
is the case of Montana Union Railway
company VS.. Langlois g Mont. 419).. It
is now n of the leading cases in the
United States upon the question of the
rights of hackmen upon the station plat
forms of railroad companies. I have
been very sorry that Mel. had grown
away from his early friends in late years.
He had all the qualities of great useful
ness. The friends of himself and his
esteemed father deeply regret that he did
not follow out the splendid career which
could have been his"

layer, EXPIRED SUDDEN
.5fI LY TODAY.
WAS A HARD DRINKER
AND HAD BEEN ON A SPREE
Came Home Complaining Of Feeling
- 1ll-Found Dead By Woman
Inquest to Be Held.

kan Lindsay, a bricklayer, So
Years of g was found dead in his cabin
about noon today under circumstances
which will warrant a coroner's inquiry.
The person making the discovery was
a woman calling herself Annie Lindsay,
and who sometimes passed as Grace
Lindsay. y
Annie, or Grace, with her apron up to
her eyes, one of which had beer black
ened by the deceased in q quarrel the
other day, between sobs told the Inter
Mountain reporter that Lindsay had
come into the cabin about II o'clock and
complained of feeling ill. She was going
to make a %neighborly call at the time,
and Lindsay admonished her to return
soon, as he felt very bad. In an hour the
the woman returned and found Lindsay
in bed lying quite still. Going over to
the couch, she shook hima and received no
response. Lindsay vas dead. Grace
then alarmed the neighbors, and in a
snort time the cabin was filled with a big
bunch of curious women n ragged
children.
Grace left the cabin for an officer and
found Policeman Mccormick, to whom
she related the circumstance of Lind
says death. 1t appears that last Sun
day a lot of bricklayers called at the
cabin and had a glorious time drinking.
Lindsay kept up the spree. In fact, ac-
ccrding to the n%eighbors, he has been
drinking hard all summer There is no
doubt that his death is due to excessive
drinking, although Grace says he has
been sick off and on for some time.
The body was taken to Sherman's.
Coroner Julien will hold an inquest.
Lindsay is a member Of the Bricklayers'
union.
