prevailed in Butte during the
past week and it is not possible
to describe in detail, or to even
mention the many social gath
erings held in commemOration of the
Christmas holiday. The many people
seen upon the streets with happy faces,
numerous bundles and an air of good
fellowship, tends to show that there was
a general observance of the day. The
decorations in the various business
places did much to accentuate the app
pearance of gaiety. The stores WED with
each other in their beautiful displays
and did much to inveigle the unwary to
make many purchases. By what has
been said do not think that the poor of
the city were forgotten. Many Of the
prominent society men and women of
Butte gave generously, ard by so doing
made many homes, which would have
ness, and doubtless many fervent prayers
were said in their behalf
The usual services We're held, the
churches being decorated in honor Of the
occasion. The various choirS had spent
a large amount of time in preparing,
which showed in their rendition.
Christmas trees, handsomely decorated,
were provided for all the Sunday
schools.
The different clubs that have been so
active all the year laid aside their work
to take hand in the holiday festivities
after which they will resume their work
the week after New Years. 1t was said
1.-The Women's clubs seem to have gone
into the hands of a receiver"
The holiday fetes are not confined to
this week only, but number of large
affairs are booked for next week. It is
hoped that the old year will leave many
pleasant membranes and that the
new will be as kind in it's greeting.

A Soma of PROGRESS.

Just can't stop the march O. Time;
The worlds progressing.
New bells must ring with merrier
chime,
New seas to cross, new heights to
climb;
Just rock along then with the time
the worlds progressing;
New Stars are comm into view;
The worlds progressing.
We know more than our fathers
knew
We've traced the planets in the blue,
Great dreams to dream, great deeds
to do
The worlds progressing!
On, on forever to the goal!
The worlds progressing.
On, with the strength of heart and
soul
A strength no stern fate may control;
On, where the higher thunders roll!
The worlds progressing!

Fashion News From Paris.

More elaborate and varied than
ever are trimmings, and gold or silver
embroidery appears on all the hand
soonest gowns in Paris, even washing
fabrics being adorned in this manner
with gold and silver trimmings
warranted to stand soap and water.
Applique and strappings are also
much employed, often of one silk on
another of contrasting hue or texture;
of cloth or lace in irregular, leaf-like
designs, outlined with gold thread
or with slender silk cord; and silk or
mohair braid, woven in a neat design
with gold or silver, graces some of the
smartest tailor gowns. But perhaps
the chief novelty is the cretonne idea,
garlands of fine cretonne, often in the
narrow stripe suggestive of Louis
designs, applied lavishly to airy
fabrics, for reception or evening
frocks, and secured with fine chain or
buttonhole stitching, done in silk or in
toe thinest of gold or silver thread
Dangling ends of narrow ribbon or
velvet appear on all but the most
severely simple tailor gowns, and
ways terminate in handsome
aiguilletts or tags" of gold, silver,
jet, or enamel. Some of these aiguil-
letters in gold and enamel are really
wonderful examples of the jewelers.
art. The new "cisele" jewellery, that
is not particularly successful as ap-
piled to brooches, bracelets, necklets,
and so ont has such a barbaric air
about it in these forms-is peculiarly
we'll adapted to handsome belt clasps,
and the soft iridescent hues taken by
the mental makes is harmonic with
any color.

knew this fact by instinct. She had
to journey to Chicago alone. From the
start she was molested by the atten-
ton of this man and that. She be-
came almost frantic in her nervous
ness. In desperation she gave up her
seat, and to quote her own words, 1
went over to where there was plain,
common, kind-looking, middle-aged
man sitting and asked if might sit
with him. He said, Certainly" and
made room for me. That was the
end of it. He seemed to understand,
and the other men also.

CRIME IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Negroes Stretch Hemp While Whites
Escape.


At the recent term of court in
Greenville three men were convicted
of murder without recommendation to
mercy and were sentenced to be
hanged. ut is true" says the Ander-
son Daily Mail, they were all
negroes, and that this may have a
tendency to check the free use of
the handy pistol among them; but it
is about time some white men should
be found guilty without a recon-
mendation to mercy and allowed 10
pull hemp. The white man who
habitually carries pistol and uses
it is more guilty than a negro, be-
cause he is 10 Jre intelligent and
knows better the great evil there is
in it. A little more hemp pulling
will help to restrain crime very ma
terially." That is true-the con-
viction and hanging of few negroes
every year will not cure the crime of
homicide among the white people. 1t
is a blight upon the state and has
done infinite harm. We agree with
our Anderson contemporary that sit
is about time some white men should
be found guilty without recommends
ton to mercs and allowed to pull
hemp" There are number of un-
unpublished homicides in Greenville

pulled hemp" long ago had they been

DECAY OF MANNERS.

But the Plain People Retain Them

In an article in Ainslee's Magazine
on The Decay of Manners John Gilmer
Speed writes:
Il have in this ungrateful task
taken most of my instances from the
east | believe the manners of men
in the west and in the south are very
much better. But the east sets the
fashion and makes the pace. What is
the vogue in New York reaches San
Francisco and New Orleans in time,
and the nearer place sooner. So if it
be the thing to be rude in the east we
may expect that 1t will be the fashion
also on the Pacific and Gulf lefore
very long. But there is one class of
people in America which, fancy, is
not likely ever to become infected
with the bacilli of rudeness. allude
to the plain people, the common PEG
pie. They are too good and too sub
stantial at bottom ever to become very
vulgar. They have never been adopts
in the graceful social arts. On the
contrary, they have never been ac-
Quainted with them and care nothing
about them. But they are honest and
kind and they hate meanness and
nastiness for the deadly sins they are.
And they know them, too, at sight.
They are simple and unaffected, but
they are as far as possible from be-
ing foolish. A lady of experience told
me the other day that she believed the
plain, everyday, common American
man was the most dependable creature
alive. They never fail you. There is
no kindness they will not undertake,
no service they will not render. And

Forgers Play Part.
The highest class of railway depre-
dator and the most difficult to circum-
vent is the professional forger of
waybills. There are, in the Derby
Museum, innocent looking bits of yell
low paper by means of which property
to the value of thousands of pounds
has been stolen. Printing entries and
ignatures are all forged, but so clever
ly as to deceive in some instances
even the very clerks who made out the
original and genuine documents and
the officials who signed them.
Then there are also piles on piles OF
forged tickets-used mostly by low
class betting men on big race days
notes on the Bank of Engraving, and
bad money of every kind. And in a
separate department is the "Rogues'
Gallery" where ranged along the walls
are the portraits of pretty well all the
known criminals who make speciality
of railway business
These portraits are printed by the
gross and copies exchanged, not only
with the chief of the detective depart
ments of all English railways, but with
most of those on the continent and in
America So that a railway ''crook,"
once arrested and photographed,
stands little chance of escaping identi-
fication if captured in the future, no
matter where he may choose to renew
his depredations
