FROM SOCIETY TO soAPsuDs
One Of the Four Hundred Forced to
Sell Her Fine Dresses and
Open Laundry.

From member of the '4OO' to keeper
Of hand laundry, from wealth so great
that she could play the part of philan-
thrOpist t diving on beggarly stipend
of 20 cents a day-such Is the change in
the worldly affairs Of Mrs. Alfred Scher-
nerhorn.
Down at fashio nable Southampton L.
I. on Wednesday she offered for sale to
her former fashionable friends her
gowns and dress patterns yet uncut.
She says she was forced to it to buy
food.
Her friends rallied to her assistance
ard made the sale a great success, the
sum of several thousand dollars being
realized for the relief Of the distressed
Eentlewoman. Her laundry is also do
ing rushing business, having secured
the patronage of a majority of the sum-
n'er cottagers of Southampton.
Her home and laundry is the old Bel
lows cottage, overlooking five palatial
homes she built on Lake Agavain.
There is no furniture. She has a few
trunks and the balance of the household
equipment is made up of soap boxes COW
cred with blankets.
In the parlor soap boxes and blankets
make a window seat. while two trunks

couch.
The only ornaments of the room are q

STRIKE SITUATION
STILL UNCHANGED

HE second week of the great steel
strike ends with the shadow Of
impending violence seemingly
hanging over the wide are af-
fected by the Industrial war. The week
closed without a clash at any place and
with conditions throughout the striking
region in statu quo. If anything the idle
workers have made gains. but these lie
more in what they prevented the man
ufacturers from doing than what they
accomplished themselves
z From day to day until the time the
mills usually open the country has been
both. torn by rumors that this week
would mark the first attempt of the
combine to reopen its plant with nom
union men. At the various plants skill
ed labor from other sections was ex-
pected and negroes from the south. II
either move had been planned the threat
ening attitude Of the strikers blocked

made.
Heat probably helped the strikers to
tighten their grip on the situation. With

to a great extent, sa yemployers, has
been responsible for the failure to OPP
crate the mills.
There has been no change in the ar
bitration or mediation movements, so
far as the officials of the association arc
aware. The hope is still general among
these officials. however. that a way will
be found to bring about a settlement Of
the difficulties
President Shaffer. by the way. has new
err vet declared that there was no pos
sibility of concessions on the part Of
the Amalgamated association. When
asked his opinion on this matter, he ra-
piled he was unable to answer the ques-
ton, but friends who have talked to
him on this line express the firm belief
that If the proper steps were taken the
manufacturers would find the association
In conciliatory mood and ready to meet
any reasonable proposition consistent
with honor. They say the whole tone
of Pres ident Shaffers remarks is In
clined toward peace. If he can secure it
honorably.
The combine forces have decided to
carry the strike into the courts. 1t is
learned that former Judge Mil 8 Of Wells
vile, O.. has been retained by Percifer
M. Smith. district manager Of the Amer
lean Sheet Steel company, to prpare pa
pers for presentation to federal court
asking for a restraining order TO stop
strikers from accosting or tnolesting in
any way non-union men on the high
ways. The move promises a crisis in the
strike, thus far one of watchfulness and
waiting.

Future Sources of Coffee.

According to the treasury bureau of
statistics, 1.-The people of the United
States are sending out of the country
more than 1000, 900 a week in payment
for coffee consumed in this country all
of which could be readily produced in
Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippine
islands, which have already shown their
ability to produce coffee of high grade.
commanding good prices in the markets
Of the world. Porto Rican coffee has
long been looked upon as Of high grade.
and for many years has commanded high
prices in the markets Of Europe; and the
development of coffee culture in Hawaii
during the past few years have also been
very satisfactory in the quality Of coffee
produced and the prices realized. In the
Philippines the product Is Of high grade
and the fact that in physical conditions
and climate the islands are very similar
to Java, the greatest coffee producing
region OF the world, suggests great pos
sibilities to those who desire to see
American money expended under the
American flag. The fact that the United
States is by far the greatest coffee con-
suming country of the world, and Is
steadily increasing her consumption,
further suggests that American capital
and energy may turn their attention to
this promising field now opened in the
islands where American enterprise can
safely invest in business ventures"
1t is already evident that the total
consumption Of coffee for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1901. will be about $50,
200. which is fully $1,000. 900 q bove that

pose, they join the reading class of peo-
pie, and add to the demand for good lit

There is little demand here for cheap
books, as such: given the same work in
two styles of binding. the better binding
will usually have the better sale. There
are a good many cheap books sold. how
ever especially of the older authors, the
copyright of which has expired. These
are cheap the world over, there being
no royalty to pay the writer's, and the
work being free for any one to publish.
The sale of Bibles is not large; but
there is a great demand for prayer
books. which would indicate the prevail

bindings usually.
The illustrated Sunday papers from the

COMMISSIONERS IN SESSION

Is Harmouv.

William D. Clark, Edward Mathews
and Charles Farrell, comprising the
board of county commissioners and +.
II. Manchester, A. G. Siebonaler and
Edwin L. Mayo. members of the city
council, are now sitting as board of
equalization in the county assessors Of
flee and will be in session until August
j., meeting together four days each

passing upon the merits of kick with
equal Jurisdiction no mater whether the
property involved is in the city or that
portion of Silver Bow county lying out
side of it.
The work Of the board of equalization
consists of regulating the assessment on
property. In many instances property
i,Clders consider the valuation placed by
the assessor on their property teo high,
and their only remedy is in an appeal to
the board of equalization. The board
holds a months session each year to
listen to these complaints and it is
generally once in while somebody
breaks into the deliberat ions of the body
and asks that his assessment be raised,
but such instances are rare and when
made almost snap the breath of the
members of the board One case of this
nature has cropped out at the present
| meeting. TIL applicant resides in the
Mcqueen addition. Last year his prop
erty was assessed at SO much and he
was perfectly satisfied with it. This
year it was given smaller valuation
| and he objected. Why. is not known
unless it was because he anticipated
trouble over the change. He asked the
| board to have the valuation increased to
last years figures. He was accommo-
dated and breathed a sigh of relief as
he faded through the doorway with
the full knowledge that his property
was forth as much this year as it was
last year.
Up to the middle of the week the
board had listened to about thirty oh.
jections and passed upon all save two
or three from the Mcqueen addition. Ir
one instance only was an increase
! made in the assessed valuation. Thai

Charles jackson Exonerated From a
Serious Charge.
A marriage license was issued Sat
urday afternoon to Ida May Gregg
and Robert Stokes, both of this city.
This is the finale of the arrest of
Charles Jackson sometime ago on the
charge of rape in which the Gregg girl
was the prosecuting witness. She
claimed at that time that Jackson as
saulted her last November and by
threats compelled her to keep it a Sc
cret until her condition compelled her
to make the disclosure.
When Jackson was arrested he
stoutly protested his innocence and
claimed her story was lie. At his
hearing he was released
on bonds of $1,000. His hearing was
set for July 80 and in the meantime
the officers investigated the charge
1t had been determined to dismiss
the case against Jackson when the
hearing was held as he was not gull
ty of the alleged crime.

Preparing to Sink. for Oil at

May Have to Bore Very
Deep.
ROAD NEARLY DONE

OH company which is preparing to
bore for oil in the Kintla lake district
of Flathead county, is in the city, hav-
ing arrived yesterday for the purpose
of attending meeting of the direc-
tors of the company, says the Inter
Mountain. The meeting was to have
been held yesterday but Frank KEPT
ko, one of the directors, is in Great
Falls and cannot return before Mon
day. Andrew J. Davis, another direc-
tor lis at his ranch on the Jefferson.
Mr.. Bender states that the machin-
cry for boring is now en- route from
Bradford, Pa, having been shipped
the 22nd. A wagon road is being
graded from the railroad to the scene
Of the proposed operations, distance
of about 50 miles. When complete,
which will be about the middle of
August, the machinery will be trans
ported over it and put in place. It
will be capable Of sinking 1900 feet,
but some of the members of the
company are of the opinion that this
depth may not be sufficient to accom-
plish the desired result. 1t is claim
ed that the large bodies of oil found
in Pennsylvania, Texas and Califor-
mia were close to the sea level and
that possibly the Butte company
would have to sink to this depth be-
fore it would strike oil in paying guam
titles; yet in Wyoming, it is said,
such depth was not required to bring
about profitable results.
The Butte company is not really a
corporation. Thirty men have chip
ped in $500 each for the purpose Of de-
veloping the fields of the Kintla lake
district and expect to make another
contribution to lAe fund before oil in
paying quantities is found. The $751;
900 subscribed will be pretty much
consumed in the purchase of the ma
chinery, freight charges, grading of
the road to the fields, transportation
of the machinery from the railroad to
the fields and the purchase of land,
after which there will be the expense
of sinking the well. On the surface
indications are good, however, it is
just possible that oil will be struck
much nearer the top of the ground
tnan is exnected.
With the exception of two or three
persons, all of the members are Butte
men who share each others confidence
in the ultimate outcome of the ven
ture They are possessed of unlimit-
ed capital, the rating of few being
more than $1,000,O00 each. The COM
pany has acquired $4,000 acres of
land, on nearly every section of which
oil has been found. The quality of
the oil, says Henry R. Bartlett, one of
the company, equals that of the Penn
sylvania brand, and in no other place
in this country outside of Pennsylva-
MIA and the Kintla district has there
been found such a high class illumin-
ant. There is no sure thing that in a
few years Montana and Pennsylvania
will not be shaking hands and inquir-
ing about each others crop of Coal Oil
Johnnies.
