A STATEMENT ISSUED GIVING HIS REASONS FOR
OPPOSING MR.. MINToN's BILL


Commissioner John W. Keller, of the Charities
Department, who is opposed TO the bill introduced
by Assemblyman Maurice Minton in the Degisiat-
ure, empowering the Commissioner of Correction to
remove aged, feeble and decrepit persons from the
workhouse and almshOuse to the institutions OF
the Charities Department, yesterday made state
ment in part follows:
There is no need of any amendment to the char
ter this question. Poverty is not a crime. ana
therefore no man should be made prisoner merely
to the workhouse the pententiany by any City
Magistrate anybody else. On the other hand,
no person that stands convicted OF crime.
vagrancy anything else should be admitted TO
city for people who are homeless and friendless.
Ii is an Injustice and cruelty TO force upon the
homeless and friendless of the city of New-York
association with Convicts.
The remedy for this whole question lies with the
City Magistrates themselves. II the City Magis-
did not send the workhouse or the peni-
tertiary persons whose only offence is poverty,
then there would be none such in the workhouse
the penitentiary The claim that the City Magis-
trates have other place to send them is not
founded fact. The almShouse is open for all
such all times and under other condition
than that the Department of Charities shall be
satisfied that they proper charges against the
a a convict to the workhouSe the peni-
Tertiary and then make law for the Commissioner
or Correction to turn that convict into the aims
in the capacity of a jailer to hold that convict
through the of his commitment. when the
man originally could have walked right into the
open door of the almshouse without the stain of
conviction for crime upon him.

The offer to wager 100000 that Senator
"A. Clark would not retain his seat,
posted in the M. & M. pool rooms Sat
urday, was erased from the black board
Monday The offer to take $500 of it to-
getller with it's erasure was the occasion
of a runior to the effect that the offer
was a bluff, as the instructions of the
brokers to the pool room manage was to
take all or nothing.
A member of the firm of brokers IN
whose hands the money was placed IN
formed a representative of the Inter
Mountain to day that the offer was erased
from the board of the M. & M. pool rooms
because the manager did not desire to be
suspected of craftsmanship. The broker
said further, hat the tender was bona
fide and the money had not been pulled
down.. It was the desire Of the brokers,
if possible, to make but one bet, as a mat
ter of convenience.
However," the broker continued, this
money has been placed in our hands to
bet on the result of the senatorial light
and will place it if possible. We are
convinced that we cannot get the money
taken in one bet, and are willing to ac-
cept any amount not smaller than IN
surns Of $3.50, that Mr.. Clark will not be
seated. The offer is posted In Helena
and has been made in the Silver Bow

loss of his sight. Two years ago his wife
who had tended him faithfully in his at
Fiction, died.
Yesterday afternoon the sections atten-
ton was attracted by some shots in the
cemetery and was told by a boy that an
old man was trying to kill himself. He
fastened in the direction from which the
reports came, and found Corcoran stand
ing by his wife's grave with an empty re-
volver in his hand.
The sexton sent the old man to the Sis

bullet a cut his clothing and burned his
hip, but otherwise he received no injury.

1t is reported on what appears to be
good authority that all of the insurance
policies made out in favor Of the Copper
City Commercial company inc Montana
Meat company of this city have been
transferred to the Hennessy Commercial
company (incorporated) of Butte.
Workmen began operations at the
Church of Christ. corner of Sixth and
Oak streets, this morning. The entire in
terror is to be altered. The choir loft
will be back of the pulpit, n a partition
to make two rooms of the one will be ex-
tended from the center of the present
room. Heavy curtains will form the di-
viding arch. The interior will be retinted
and decorated. When finished it will be
one of the most convenient and beautiful
church auditoriums in the city. Rev.
Tilburn, pastor of a church of Butte, is
experimenting the work. The Montana
Christian association will pay the ex-
penses. A minister of national reputa-
ton will likely take the pastorate of the
church after it is dedicated. which will
be as soon as the work is finished.
