THE DEATHoF CAPT. BoRLAND

Captain Thomas R. Borland, whose
death. occurred Tuesday night in this
city, will be greatly missed. both as a
citizen and lawyer.
Though differing in politics with
many Of his warmest friends. he always
held their regard and esteem, even at
times when feeling ran the highest.
He was recognized as a faithful coun-
sci and eloquent advocate. His suave
style and perfect manner made disa-
greeable situations impossible in his
presence; nor could the warmest debate
cause a lapse of his ever present re-
gard and consideration for the propris-
ties.
AS an earnest lawyer, n faithful
friend, an able advocate and q broad
minded. charitable, Christian gentle
man. Captain Borland Will be missed
in the community in which he has SO
long lived.

Philadelphia are already padding the
poll books" for the next election. A
contemporary says:
The payment of poll-tax OF so cents
meets the requirements of the law. AS
there Is no personal registration, it is
easy to pad the assessment lists with
fifty to eighty thousand fictitious
names. on which campaign committees
pay the poll-tax, getting individual re-
ceipts therefor and using such receipts
to equip voters imported from other
cities. Washington being large CON
tributor."
The patriots who "pay the freight"
as we'll as the poll-tax. are not the
poor and ignorant rural people" but
the rich and educated gentlemen of a
great city" who thus contribute gen
erously to Convert the heathen" and
maintain good government.

GO BACK TO MATCHES.

Fancy c~igar-lighting devices, such as
are seen on every saloon, drug store and
cigar store counter, have had their day.
Public smoking sentiment has again
turned strongly toward the ancient but
reliable way of getting a light by a
match. Experience has shown the old
fashioned way to he by all means the
most satisfactory, not only because a
match can be scratched almost as readi-
ly as one can walk around the counter
and make connections with a flame, but
because far better results are obtained
through a pine splinter blaze than by a
gas or alcohol flicker.
The general Indictment Of smokers
against the n~ew-fangled lighting appar-
atus, however, is based on the hygienic
proposition that inhalation of the obnoxi-
Gus odors from a gas or alcoholic flame

RESTORED BY SURGERY.

Interest is daily increasing in the
strange case Of Abner Towns, the col
ored man upon whom physicians of the
Children's hospital performed an oper-
alton recently in an effort to restore to
him the power OF speech. The man had
been injured by a blow upon the head
with an iron crowbar two weeks age
His power of speech had been paralyzed
since his admission to the institution.
Many physicians ana surgeons, attracted
by the many odd features Of the case,
visited the hospital.
According to the physicians the case Is
the first of its kind on record. The oper-
alton Is also considered unique. Pre-
viously silver plates We're always placed
in the cavity left by the removal of a
portion of the skull. No plate was used
in this case. Drs. Smith and Hollowen,
the resident physiciaTIti the Children's
Homeopathic hospital, who performed
the operation. are now directing their
attention. since the life of the patient is
safe, to discovering a way In which
Towns power of speech may be restored.
Thu physicians entertain hopes for the
mans ultimate recovery, though as yet
they are unable to determine positively
the outcome of the case .
Towns is able to recognize his rela-
tives, and each evening his wife, who
lives at their home, 500 North Tenth
street, and his sister come to see him,
and sit by the hour at his bedside.

AN MOTIVE.

a gentleman closely in touch with Anal

cial News, when the tissue of mystery
which still envelopes the copper situa-
ton will be cleared up.
Il attach considerable Importance to
the visit of Amalgamated mining experts
to Salt Lake and the mining camps ad-
jacent. They went ~ostensibly for the
purpose of examining into the cave min
ing system employed at some of the
Utah properties, but I think that their
visit has had a more important motive
than appears on the surface
Among the Amalgama.ed operating Of

and Tintic camps ave been Superin-
tendent O'Neill of the Anaconda mine
and William Skyrme, superintendent OF

critics in Montana. and David w. Brun'

SHIPPING DOGS.

The shipping Of dogs by express has
assumed such proportions that crates
especially designed for this purpose are
now on the market said a Ninth street
dealer in small live stock yesterday.
Most of them have peaked roofs, so that
other boxes and crates may not be plac-
ed solidly on top OF them. This gives the
desired ventilation. The crate Is sup
piled with a cup for water, so constructed
that the contents cannot spill out, and
there is a pipe leading to the top, so that
the supply may be ~replenished without
opening the crate. Attached to the front
is a trough, similar to those seen in pig
pens. where the dogs food is placed. In
this way. with the expenditure IF n fee
to the man in charge of the car, the dog
can travel with comparative comfort

Occasions Much Comment III
the East.

The selection of Attorney William
Scallon of Butte as president OF the
Anaconda Copper Mining company, the
news of which was received in the city
last night, although not unexpected,
was received with great rejoicing, n
for fully an hour the whistles on Ana
conda hill screamed their delight at the
appointment.
1t is the general sentiment of the COM
munity that no better selection could
have been made. Mr.. Scallon is a Butte
man, of splendid Judgment, who has
worked his way up the ladder of fame.
He has been a resident of Butte for
many years, and he knows every foot
of the workings in the Anaconda prop
critics. During his connection with the
legal end of the company he has ex-
plored every drift and level in the Ana
conda mines.
His intimate knowledge of Butte
affairs n his legal talents combined
peculiarly fit him for the position of
president of the Anaconda company. 1t
is likely that his election will tend to
end the ruinous litigation in which the
Butte copper companies have been en-
gagged for some years.
