Witnesses Testify Concerning Patsy
Mann's Bone MIL.

AT its session yesterday the grand Jury
listened to testimony concerning the bone
mill of Patsy Mann on the river shore near
Giesboro' Point, and the manner in which
the place is being conducted. Among the
witnesses. 1t is understood, were persons
VINO have an intimate knowledge of the
conditions existing at the factory by rea-
son of residence in the neighborhood and
their observation of the state of things at
the plant. Among these were Andrew j.
Boyer. Bellevue: Harry Brooke. Congress
Heights; W. II. Biggs, GiesborO': John Day,
Congress Heights; Henry Matthews, Hills
dale; W. Butler, Giesboro. the two last
NAMED colored and an inspector of the city
health department.
Some of the witnesses, il is understood,
presented to the members of the jury views
strongly unfavorable to the continuance of
vestigation into the Mann plant by the
grand jury followed the visit of one of the
health department officials to the factory,
where he witnessed the manner in which
the bodies of dead animals disposed OF.
and inquired as to the extent the people OF
the community annoyed by the opera
ton of the plant. what sanitary arrange
ments the mill has and how much care is
exercised there to prevent the place from
being hurtful to health.
The District Commissioners have been
appealed to many times in the past by citi-
Zens who contended for the removal of the
Mann factory, on the ground that it was a
nuisance, but this is said TO be the first
time the matter has ever been brought to
the attention of a grand jury. Within the
last couple of months a number of petitions
have been circulated setting forth reasons
why, in the minds of the citizens Interested
the plant should not be permitted to con-
tinue operations as Al present aud in the

WHAT BECOMES OF SILVER.

The inquiry is often made:
"What becomes of silver?" The
supply of the white metal continues
about as large as ever, notwithstand-
ing it's so-called denomination as
for many years the yield from the
mines Of the world has exceeded
$2OO,0OO,OO0, measured by coming
value. Yet there is no apparent
surplus at this time; upon the con-
trary, it seems to be appreciating in
value since the United States mint
is now paying SIC per ounce COM
pared with Acc few years since.
Silver is still coined in large
amounts. Take for instance 1898.
Our own mints coined it to the val
ue Of S23,000,O00; Mexico coined
$21, 100000; Russia $22, 100000; In
dia 26,000,000; Japan $S,000,000.
La fact the coinage of all countries
that year was $149,250,00O, This
was slightly in excess of 1897, but
less than that of 1896.
Then if we consider that at least
$45,000,0O0 worth of silver per an
nun is consumed in the arts and
sciences, it will be seen that the
consumption of we'll towaads $780,
O0O,O0 worth of silver is easily ac-
counted for. Silver, politically,
may be very much abused metal,
but it is evident that it occupies a
very prominent position in the ma
material world.

ladies undertook to serve free din
ner to the voters. The republican
sorosis, not to be outdone, also tack
led the free dinner proposition and
the rivalry between political factions
became most interesting. Two COM
peting sandwich foundries were e.
rected, and in few minutes the
whole works were in full blast.
Each concern had its deputation of
ham slicers, and it's squad of coffee
boilers. There were two large
coteries of grub dispensers, while a
gala army or two of smiling solicitors
did the outside work. The demo-
cratic ladies served 675 plates at the
free dinner, and the republican chalk
mistress reported 662 voters served
to meals, making total of 1887
dinners served to voters. AS mat
ter of fact there were only 450 votes
polled in the place, which shows a
handsome average of three free din
ners to every voter, male and female
in the precinct. The majority of the
voters were well satisfied with the
system, and declared that woman is
rare jewel to adorn the form of
politics, only that she has to put her
age on record. Ay, there's the rub,
and there's the respect uhat makes
calamity of 50 long life.

Our Belt correspondent failed to

reader will have to forego the
pleasure of perusing his usually de-
lightsome composition. A private
letter from the correspondent, who
was lately elected justice of the
peace of Belt township, and now re-
ceives the address of "Hon.," states
that he now has everything coming
his way, including spoiled vegetables
and eggs, and that carload of
marriage licenses are on the road to
be ready for the grand rush. The
Judge is trying also to get the ex-
alted position of ice-box inspector
in and for the town of Belt, and it is
said that he has the Endorsement of
such men as T. E. Healey, DR.. Vidal
and the rest. With these burden
some duties, and the added position
of lord high executioner, which ap-
pears to be within easy reach, our
worthily ambitious brother will be so
buried in blushing honors and high
toned positions as to refuse to rec
ognize his friends.

The d. j. Hennessy Mercantile
Co., of Butte has acceded to the de-
mand of the clerks union for 6 o'clock
closing, and the boycott has been
raised. There is more than grain
of sense in the rule to close at six
o'clock, and gradually even the pro-
prietors are learning to know it.
The time may not be far distant
when two hours in the forenoon and
about three in the afternoon will be
considered ample time in which to
make purchases, and during which
to keep stores running. Where q
o'clock closing is observed, the pub
lie seems to like the custom, but
they usually need to have it beaten
into them by some labor union with
sturdy backbone.

THE FUTURE OF SILVER.

w hlle 1t isn't very satisfactory
solution of the silver question, the
following ideas expressed by Judge
Goodwin of the Salt Lake Tribune
are at least interesting to the people
of Montana. The Judge says:
"Since election day a great many
journals have discussed the probable
future of silver. OF course all that
can be said is necessarily mere spec
ulation. The most astonishing fea-
ture is th't during the past year in its
absolute dearth of anything like a
circulating medium, India, in the
arts and for money, has absorbed
60,000,000 ounces of the white metal,
or say one-t third of the worlds annual
product.
ssShould a final settlement be
made with China which would open
all her ports and give her little
commercial standing among the
nations, and should this country dur
lug the coming three years draw
from the outside world as much as it
has during the past three years, very
much of the Old World will be in
solvent and there is liable to come
such clamor for money that the
nations of Europe will ask for silver's
reconciliation, both for themselves
and for medium Of trade with Chi
ma and India. Nothing but a sense
less prejudice has prevented such a
thing during the past five years, for
the myriads of Asia do business on a
scale So small that it cannot be com
puted in gold, and business halts all
along the line of yellow, men. For
our country there is nothing to do
but wait Meanwhile, our food, our
textiles, our timber, our coal and our
manufactured goods are being pushed
upon the market and the outside
nations must buy them. with the re-
suit that they are growing poorer
every year. Just now our country
is the great absorbent of the worlds
wealth, and one reason is that the
world is so short of money that many
of its enterprises have no moving
force behind them. This is especial
ly the case with India, and will be
with China when peace is restored
there. In the meantime, our own
Philippine possessions ought to have
s5O0,O00,000 spent there in the i'm
mediate future, and for all these
countries silver is the money needed.
Then within short time the product
of silver will be sensibly diminished,
for no prospecting for silver is going
on. In our country about all the
silver produced is by-product with
lead and copper and gold. Silver is
slowly rising in value; it may some
time be restored. There are men,
and shrewd ones, too, who declare
that within the next decade the anx-
iety will be, not about silver, but "a
bout gold; that with the full resump-
ton of mining in the Transvaal
and an annual yield of perhaps
S5O0,000,0 it will not be long un-
til the men who cried down silver,
will begin to insist that gold is so
plenty that it is no longer a safe
measure of value; that in the mean
time the yield of silver will be less
and less and that by natural law
the two metals will gravitlte together
again"
