HORSES NOT AS HARDY AS MEN.
During War These Animals Succumb
to Hunger and Fatigue.

There have been many instances in
which fights have been lost or won ac-
cording to the number and condition of
the horse engaged. When the siege of
Plevna commenced the Russians We're
bringing all their stores and food from
Sistova by the aid of Sc, 900 draft horses,
and at the end of the siege it was found
that no less than %, 900 of them had died
from hard work and exhaustion. The
want of rest and food tells on horse
far more than on man, for in the case
of the latter there are stimulating in
fluences of patriotism, the glory of VIC
tory, and other feelings which are not
existent in the nature of horse. Quite
half the horses in England sent to the
Crimea never returned, most of them
having died from hard work and starva-
ton. Indeed, only about 500 We're killed
in action.
So reduced and starved have the poor
beasts become on occasions of this kind
that they have been known to eat one
another's tails and to gnaw the wheels
of the gun carriages. Napoleon took
with him across the Nieman 10000
cavalry horses, and on his return in six
months he could only muster 16, 600. More
than half the horses which were en-
gagged in our Egyptian war of 1882 were
disabled; 600 of these were killed, and
only three-fifths slain in action. In the
Afghan war of 1888 it is said that 5000
camels and half the horses engaged were
lost in three months.
1t will thus be seen that actual fight
ing does not claim so many horses as
starvation or overwork. Defective shoe
ing. sore backs want of food and rest,
and other similar causes go far toward
rendering horses useless for practical
warfare. One more and important cause
needs, careful attention and It Is the
danger of injury horses run when being
shipped across the sea. They are in
| constant motion; they continually fall
many of them to be trampled to death
! and the rest become frightened, kick
| and batter one another about, and are
| rendered useless. AS an instance of
this, it was found that one regiment
| on the way to the Peninsular war was
deprived of just half it's horses on the
voyage.-London Golden Penny.

=, The Robert Emmett birthday COM
memorative exercises at the A. o. H.

up TO the time Of his death. The
speaker also referred to the struggles
of Ireland prior to Emmett's birth. and

duced, who gave a most eloquent dis
course on the life and achievements Of
Emmett Mr.. Kennedy also told of his
own Experiences in Ireland, OF his ar
rest and imprisonment in March, 1888
and related the tortures and privations
meted out to himself and fellow pa tri-
OTIS. His remarks We're followed with
keen interest by those in the audience.

gramme a fine banquet was served In
the hall and an tmpromptu programme
given, consisting of toasts. songs and
other attractive features. It was given
in honor of Mr.. Kennedy, the guest OF

to discuss matters of interest to the
party and to arrange the preliminaries

The democrats VIII have their call
ISSUED in a few days. The legislature
will adjourn next Thursday and it is not
Nkely that any move will be made until
john r. Toole and the other legislator
return from Helena. Ed Burke, chair
pam of the democratic city central COM
mittee, is out of town. but it was learned
last night that he would be home in
day or two. 1t is very probable that the
democrats VIII have their call published
the latter part of the week.
There are very few, either republicans
democrats. who are not in favor of a
short campaign. No ONE seems to desire
a long one, so the political pot VIII not
get fairly to boiling for fully two weeks
yet. but in the meantime the lineup will
be made and while nhe fight lasts it will
be red hot one.
Speculation is rife as to who the may
orally candidates will be. The repub
Hcans have plenty of good timber to
draw from, and there is no reason why
"a winner cannot be selected. There are
men in 1.-THE republican party who will
mot only see that THE laws are enforced.
but that needed reforms will be brought
about in the government of the city.
With the democrats they will under
take to continue the powers that be in
office. Mayor Madden is a candidate for
reelection, and of course that means no
change of any consequence in any de-
partment of the municipal government
BY the first of next week the lines will
be pretty we'll drawn and public senti-
unent will tell pretty close who the cam
kkdates of the respective parties will be

fought.
There is to be school election during

A MUSICAL TREAT.

The engagement of Miss Leonora Jack
son, the talented violin virtuoso at the
Margaret theater last night was not
great success in a financial way. The
audience was painfully small, but the
crowd of music lovers who were there
enjoyed treat which is rarely offer
ed to the citizens of Anaconda. Too
much cannot be said of Miss Jackson's
artistic skill; it is a revelation to listen
to the harmony she produces from her
favorite instrument, and she is certain
ly a musician of high rank and excep-
tional abilities. p.
Miss Urbanna has a delightfully."- sweet
soprano voice, and Sheldon Pratt, the
PIANIST, is great in the execution of
classical pieces.
