A starving man is devoid of judg-
ment and of most of his natural feel
ings. In April we received a group OF
famine girls. Among them was one
who, although much emaciated. began
to improve from the day she came to
us. After a week she rapidly grew
worse. In spite of everything that
could be done for her she soon died.
We learned at last that, while she was
so ill that we were giving her few
spoonfuls of nourishment at time,
raising her gently, because she seemed
unable to make any effort to help her
self. and even later, when she seemed
unable to see or to speak, she had been
dragging herself at intervals. when we
were absent, out into the garden, dis

A Large Task.

The new Legislative League of Wo-
men, with Lille Devereux Blake as
president and Elizabeth Cady Stanton
as honorary president, has assumed a
large task. It's object as avowed is to
secure equality of rights for women

that in eight states wife has no right

seven states there is no law compel

states a mother has no right to hel
children in 16 states wife has nc

AN INDIANA HEROINE.
A Girl whose Courage Probably
Snved Many Lives.

Miss Cora NJ. Wise holds a warm
place in the hearts of many persons
whose lives she probably saved. She
is the telegraph operator and tower
tender at Sands, Ind, little station
on the big Four
The little tower that is her Office
stands 40 feet above the level Of the
track and the track is on an embank-
ment 20 feet high, making her office
about 60 feet above the main level Of
the ground She was sitting in this
little tower, having given the signal to
the extra freight train that all was
clear. The train pulled out of the sid
ing, and as it was passing her little
tower car jumped the track. This
threw four other cars off and all of
them came with great force against
the tower, overturning it and sending

wreckage, which soon took fire from
the overturned stove, and in short

time was consumed. Miss Wise ex-
treated herself and managed to hobble
around and climb the steep embank-
ment, where she found a man and or
dered him to flag No. 1, fast passen-
ger train, which was due In few
minutes. She could do no more, how
ever, the effort of climbing the EN-
bankment in her exhausted condition
being too much for her, and she asked
to be taken to her home in New Point,
a mile away. Tender hands lifted her
to the cab of an engine and in few
minutes she was being rapidly taken
where medical assistance could be rem
dered. She became unconscious inn
mediately after being placed on the
engine.
Miss Wise does not seem to think
much of her deed and modestly refuses
to be considered heroine, but never
theless it was only her great desire to
save the passenger train that enabled
her to retain consciousness and climb
to the top of the embankment and or
der the flagman to signal the train.

There is an amusing story of a woman
of title who found it difficult to under

travelling in Japan and the far east when
she received a cablegram from a great
metropolitan daily, Would you accept

lady was pleased and replied by cable
that she would "send copy" in a fort
night. She was. therefore. annoyed when

Digniticd silence seemed the only way
to treat such unbusinesslike methods.

a parcel Of newspapers and read with
some establishment several spirited and
gossipy articles on the far east written.

about Majors Cement.
The muIttudes who use this standard article

The simpI" reason is that Mr.. Major uses q ne

too expensive and do not sllow large profits.

WILL FIGHT
- FIRE At BELL
TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF
WORK BELIEVED TO BE FOR
THAT PURPOSE.
HAS NOT ATTACKED
THE SULPHiDE ORES,
But a Damp is Generated That Men
aces the Lives of the Men Work
ing Underground.

1t vas announced last evening that
the Amalgamated Co., has found it
necessary to close down the Bell and
Diamond mines for a short period. The
official announcement stated that the
shut down had been made necessary by
reason Of so much ore having accumu-
lated at the smelters at Anaconda that
the capacity of the works was not great
enough to handle it and keep up with
the output here with all the mines of the
company running. 1t was therefore
found necessary to close down some of
the mines till the smelters are able to
get caught up and the Bell and Diamond
were selected.
While the statement given out is
doubtless true as far as it goes, it was
learned today that the reason given was
not the only one 1or closing down tho
Bell and Diamond. The main reason, it
was learned, was to afford an opportun-
ity to fight the fire which started in the
air shaft of the Bell about three weeks
G and which has gained such Roadway
as to threaten disastrous consequences.
1t is stated hat the shut down was de-
cided on both for the reason that it vas
becoming dangerous for men to work
in the mines and because the closing of
the mines afforded better facilities for
fighting the fire.
The Inter Mountains informant states
hat the fire started in an air shaft in
ground that had been stopped, and that
as yet it is confined to the timbering
mainly and has not worked it's way
into the ore bodies. or at least not to
any alarming extent. The greatest con-
Germ, it is stated, arises from the danger
of the fire getting beyond control in
the ore. The kind of damp generated
by the fire in it's present state. instead
of putting out a miners light. causes
it to burn the more brightly. and hence
enhances the danger to the men. as the
presence of the damp can only be de-
tected when the arrv; begin to prick
and tingle, and unless the miner gets
speedily to fresh air the danger of his
being ~asphyxiated is great.
While as yet it appears there is no
great danger of serious detriment to
the mines, it is stated the officers came
to the conclusion that the safe course
was to take steps to prevent the fire
from spreading further and the shut
down was therefore decided on.
A large force of men has been put
to work on the Ere, and there apnears
to be no doubt now that it will be
but a short time before il is entirely

A CHARMING EVENT.
Was the Recital Given at the Noun
tain view Church Last
Evening.

One of the most charming musical
events of the early season was the reci-
tai given at the Mountain View church.,
East evening, by Miss Marie Volaz as
sisted by other local talent. Mr.. Bal
lard, the premier cellist of the city, rem
dered two numbers, one of them being
the celebrated Hungarian Rhapsody
by Pepper. which was applauded to the
echo. Miss VolttZ sang two numbers; q
waits song by Patterson, and a compost
ton of Mr.. Ballard, the latter with the
III. ". Winchell and Miss Ida G. Scott
also sang solos, which We're heartily APP
plauded and encored, and these two la
dies in company With Miss Voltz and
Mrs. r.. M. Hobbs, rendered a fine la
dies quartette as the opening number
of the evening. Mrs. Winchell and Miss
VOltZ also rendered a beautiful duet, I'm
the Deep Retreat by Delibes. Mrs. z.
M. Hill was the accompanist for the
evening, and also rendered Gottschalk's
beautiful "Song Of Hope" as an organ
solo. Mr.. ]. w. ThOmas also Ia a very
pleasing tenor solo, which was encored.
The attendance for the evening was very
good, and the entertainment one that
would be hard to improve upon even by
professional talent. This is the second Of
these concerts given at the Mountain
View church within the last few weeks.
and they are SO popular hat they will
not likely be dropped from the list of
enjoyable entertainments.

SUSTAINED NO INJURY.
A Basin Boy Who Had an Exciting
Experience.

Frank Elliott, foreman for the Butte
Transfer company, who returned today
from Basin, tells of a narrow escape
from death which Arthur Peterson, a
sixteen year old boy of that town ex-
~perienced a few days ago.
The Peterson boy, Mr.. Elliott states,
went out in the mountains above Basin
hunting deer. He was armed with a
rifle and a revolver. While ciimbin
around a rocky cliff he slipped and
fell. In endeavoring to save himself,
the hammer of the revolver struck a
rock and discharged the weapon.
The ball just grazed the temple Of the
boy, the shock rendered him uncon-
scious and he lay insensible on the
ground for some time. AT length he re-
covered consciousness and discovered
he had sustained nc serious injury.
