TO MUSICIANS OF BUTTE.

During the past two weeks canvass
of the singers of Butte has been in prog
ress, and while it has been possible to
see only a part of them, enough has
been learned to apparently warrant the
belief that the best music can be rem
dered in this city with success. For
this music it is necessary to secure
chorus of from 200 to 400 voices Those
in personal charge of the organization
of this chorus have already secured over
$50 members, but as it is desired that
every singer in Butte shall be person.
ally Invited, this method is taken Of
reaching those who may not be seen in
person before the first meeting, which
will be held on Monday evening, Novem-
Der 26, in the Sunday school room of the
Presbyterian church at S:15 o'clock, at
which time two heavy choruses will be
studied. This meeting will be free to all
interested in music in any form. The
invitation to chorus membership is eX-
tended to every person in Butte and
neghborhood who can learn to sing the
music. The work which is suggested,
Haydn's Creation is an oratorio of the
highest grade. It's study and rendition
will be a great help to the music Of
Butte, and will Immediately give this
the same time the members of the chorus
will get the best possible study of sight
reading of first-class music.

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

Although among foreigners the Paris
exposition, just closed, is not looked
upon very favorably. it is interesting to
note that the French regard it as a
complete success. The reports sent from
Paris show that the total attendance
exceeded fifty million persons, although
ing the number of tickets received, 1t
is probably inaccurate for the reason

for each person admitted. The number,

position. - ,5aa 400 The largest attend
something over 100000. While at Chicago
the number attending on the banner
day reached 100000.
So far as receipts are concerned. the
Paris exposition does not make very
mission charged. The exact amount
has not been stated, but it is known
to be away under total receipts of the
Chicago exposition, which amounted to
S14117 ,3S2
The increase in the receipts of the
French national treasury for the year.
however, amounts to $40 100000. which
satisfies France, While Paris gets per-
manent Improvements in the way of
buildings, quays, bridges and transpor
tatinr lines.
The attendance and receipts at expo
sitions other than the two referred to
hav been: London, 1851, 6,17o 900 admis-
sions, s., $50 900 receipts; Paris, 1855 s.

admissions 1851 $50 receipts: Paris,
1889, S2,354, Ill admissions, ss,3S0,OoO re-

1t will thus be seen that in Paris small
fees and smaller gross receipts have
been the rule, the difference, in the
French view. being made up by gem
eral increase in business. To the stran-
ger all France is show place. and all

KRUGER'S FLIGHT.
new swarm,

More people would respect Dom Paul
Kruger and believe his stories of British
atrocities on the battlefield if he had
not fed from his compa triots and left
them to shift for themselves. Kruger
was once a heroic figure when he well
coined the British with bloody hands to
hospitable graves, but the glamor has
departed and he now appears as de-
serter of his own cause. The fighting
is not yet over, yet he fees to France
and tells his soldiers to keep up the
struggle. Such a man will not be cred
tied when he accuses his enemies of vio-
lating the rules of war. Brave men like
General Roberts fight to win, but they
tolerate no unnecessary severity on the
part of their troops, and all the talking
Kruger can do will not make people be-
lieve Roberts guilty of unsoldierly con-
duct. kruger's star has waned. AS a
hero. he is failure. His flight stamps
him as a weaklng. He will figure in
history as a man who started war and
then ran away from his army.

THE AMERICAN SOLDIER,

All accounts of the military operate
in China agree on one point, the splen-
did behavior of the American troops
there. No atrocities, no ruthless looting,
no brawling is charged up against them.
Throughout their conduct. in camp or
in the field, it is their sense of individual
responsibility that has attracted atten-
ton.
A recent tribute to our soldiers is the
following from the London Telegraph:
You see an American private advance
ing under fire, You begin to think there
is something in the idea that the fight
ing unit Of the future is the Individual
Private Silas P. Holt acts by himself,
for himself. He and his compaan anions
make for a common objective, not like
stiff, trained soldiers but like panthers,
stalking at prey. Their eyes flash. their

! ton of the enemy; not so the Americans.

death. An officer will take chances no

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN COLORADO

There has been SO much said of late
through the newspapers of the lack of
interest taken by women in the Western
States where they have full suffrage,
that the following letter from Mrs. A. l..
Welch, vice-president of the Woman's
Republican League of Denver, Colorado,
interest:
l am glad that I am in a position to re-
flute some statements made about equal
suffrage in Colorado l have been active
ly engaged in the campaign from begin
ming to end. Two years ago a few women
organized the Womans Republican
League of Colorado. This fall we re-
Gl ganized under the name of the
'Womans Republican League of Colo
redo.' We have over one thousand
| workers in this league from the ranks
OF the best and most representative
women in Denver; also organizations in
almost every town in the state. The
Junior League of Denver is composed of
young married ladies and first voters
and is largely made up of leading So
ciety people.

1t is not often in a political campaign
that the party managers have the ad
jInct of an efficient womans organiza
ton. Neither do the benighted people O.

is being waged. If they did, woman suf
frage would exist in every state in tn
union.
Colorado has been fortunate in the ex
ercise of the elective franchise by tn
women since it was conferred upon thell
in 1898. Whenever and wherever the
have unitedly acted to better poiitica

manner to put the men to shame in tn

either, but on the contrary, their influ
ence is lifting the state campaign ia

Butte, Nov. 23.-May suffering patron
of the electric light company avail HIM
self of the Inter Mountains columns to
protest against the quality of illumina-
ton now furnished by the Butte Electric
Light company?
Since it has become unpopular here to
use kerosene manufactured by a trust
what are we going to do after dark? My
two so-called 32-candle power jets do not
supply as much light as two healthy and
self-respecting candles would give. Is
the machinery of the company over
taxed by putting too many lights on each
current or what is the matter? The mer-
chants are all complaining of deficient
illumination. The company seems in
clined to force the six o'clock closing
movement on all private houses and to
compel people to go to bed at dark with
the chickens. Even the street lights are
had and can only be seen on moonlight
nights, despite the high contract rates
| paid When the Lord said, Let there be
light" there was light, but that does not
seem to be the policy of the Butte Elec-
| trio Light company.
