WONDERFUL CAVE.
FrshlsiorIo Dwelling Place Found I'm the
Rockies In Montana

Butte, Dec. IA new cave that
gives promise Of developing into the
most wonderful Of It's kind In the
known world has been discovered In
the mountains about forty-eight miles
east OF Butte. In Jefferson canyon. It's
extent is as yet unknown. though II
has been explored for a distance OF ten
miles. and 10 a depth OF about 500 feet.
The entrance 20 the cave. which Is near
the track OF the Northern Pacific rail-
way. and about 1900 feet above the bed
OF the river. was discovered a fcw
weeks ago by a hunter. and the cav
ern has just been explored by a party.
Several skeletons we're found In one
OF the many rooms. and many articles
and utensils OF stone and copper were
lying about some Of which have been
brought out The skeletons are OF peo-
pie OF gigantic stature. and the belief
Is that the cave was the abode OF a

A theory Is that by a sudden change

feet AZ one place, IS one of the wonders
OF the cave. and a score OF apartments.
some hundreds OF feet In extent. are
decorated with the wonderful forma-
tlons Of nature. One room resembles
the interior Of a cathedral. with 81

Access 10 the cave Is very difficult. as

sary before any footing can be secured.

The ATTACK ON BEER.

CENATOR TELLER, in arguing the
pros and cons of army canteens,
used the occasion to take q par
ticuiarly savage fling at beer, avowing
that its. excessive use is one of the
most degrading phases of intemper-
ance.
This seems like a rather undiplomatic
thing for senator to say. What will
Emperor William Think Such an at
tack on the German national drink
would be but a trifie short of lese ma
jeste in Germany. Coming from an
American senator it is likely to call
forth fresh and harsher discrimination
| against American pork.
Fortunately Senator Teller's charges
are somewhat vague. He doesn't say
what he considers an excessive use OF
beer 4 German, reading the speech,
would naturally think that Senator
Teller meant a consumption by one per
son of something more than key a
day. on such theory they Nigh.
think the gentleman from Colorado
partially warranted in his statement,
and thus an international feud may be
averted.
The strangest thing of the whole pro-
ceedings was the failure of either of
the senators from the state that con
/ tains Milwaukee TO rise in defense OF
! the fOamy mead. This would not have
been the case in the lower house in the
days when Representative Woodman
was battling for a law that would re-
move the collar from beer. In those
days beer was looked upon as a drink
to be fostered. Now there is none so
thirsty as to say a word in its favor.
Is this a triumph of temperance or only
another victory Of the ffteen-cent

THE PERSONALITY OF
LORD LANSDOWNE


I
A man rather below middle height
dead-white complexion and Hebraic
caste of cOuntenance. with jet black
mOuStachiOs and an entirely bald head
such is the outward pTesentment Of
the Marquis of LanSdOWne. eX-War
minister and new foreign secretary. At
the first word he proves his quality,
that of a high class but unpretending
gentleman, a little French in his
manner, not strange in one whose
mother was a French countess, and
whose early education was Partisan.
This is his best side. the Old-World
courtesy, the true pOliteness that shows
"keenest consideration for the feelings
of Others" are his in the fullest sense.
and in his own house. whether in the
great Berkeley Square mansion 0et
during his Indian vicerOyalty to Mr..
w w AstoT) OF in the historic cOun-
try one, BOwCod. one of the finest resi-
dences in England, he is the most
cOurtiy and hospitable of entertainers.
He has gifts, great gifts, quick-wit-
ted insight. a Weli-balanced mind. a
natural intelligence trained in varied
and most responsive service to the
state, yet his character remains mar
row; he has not shown much breadth
of view, either in the sense Of proper
ton. in the estimate of his fellows, or
in the conduct Of official business. 1t
has been complained that. both in In
dia and in Pail Mail, he has too gen
orally concentrated himself upon small
and unimportant matters with the care
and minuteness that are rather his
faults than his virtues. while the great
questions have gone neglected or Un-
solved. Allied with this is another de-
feet, that of too readily yielding him
self TO the counsel and support Of sub
ordinates-sOme secretaries or lesser
officials who enjoy his confidence when
his great colleagues are Kept at a dis
lance. No statesman can achieve
greatness who is handicapped by such
failings, and we need look for no re
markable feats of craftsmanship in the
new foreign secretary. But he win GER
tainly, after much anxious, painstaking
self-cOmmuning deal with external re-
latiOns in a friendly, cOnciliatOry spirit
guided still, and strengthened by the
trusty henchmen on whom he prefers
to rely.

The theory on which the present di-
vorce laws are based is weak in two
vital points. one Of these is that by
making divorce a comparatively easy
matter. the law fosters the evil it tries
TO remedy. When divorce can be so
easily secured. people are apt TO be less
careful in choosing n husband or wife.
When married people know they can
secure divorce and marry again they
are less anxious. when the romance
has been rubbed off their matrimonial
life. TO Try to get along together and

often an innocent party to the mar

thousands of children are robbed of

divorce courts. In some instances the
child is the gamer by the transaction,
but it is safe to say that in the ma
jority of cases had a divorce not been
so easy to secure, the parents would
have got along together very well to

since that period was in 1899. when it
was S13s. 394. 929.07; for 1900 it was S140.-

fiscal year it was SLSs. which the peo-
pie of the United States pay to carry
out the promises made at the time OF
the civil war.
The expenses of the war department
were the largest in the history of the
country in 1865, when they exceeded
$1,000, 600 GOO. In 1871, when the effects
of the war and reconstruction had vir-
/ tually passed away, they were reduced
to S35. 799. 992. They varied from that
period, never exceeding SO, 500. 600. until
1898, when they were over S54,5O0.00O.
