SIG ORDER FOR TELEPHONES.
British Government Orders s1,oo0,. 900 Worth from Chicago
 Company.

The Western Electric company of Chicago, the largest manufacturer of telephones and supplies in the world, has lately received an order for near ly $1,000,ooo worth of telephones and switchboards from the British post office. These are to be used in the municipal system that the British gov ernment is inaugurating in London, and 1t is expected that millions more will be spent'in this country for the same kind of materials before the sys- tenn is complete. The order came to the Western Electric company through its London house and some of the goods have been shipped.
 Henry B. Thayer, the eastern mana ger of the Western Electric company, said the other day: 'The orders we have so far received are only advance orders and we expect large ones. I have seen report that the contract awarded to an American firm was for $5,oOo,ooo. This is greatly exaggerated, but it is quite within thesbounds of possibility that the order may soon grow to that proportion"

CALLED HIM ED WALES.

E When the Prince of Wales made his tour of the states in 1859, he visited Baltimore on his return from Rich Camden station to the Gilmor house by
 the City Guards, then Baltimore's s
 crack military organization. Colonel ~Joe" Warner, who commanded the Guards was bluff old soldier, intense 1y American, with most pronounced democratic ideas. After the battalion reached the hotel, Mayor Swann, who
 had the prince in charge, invited the
 officers into the hotel parlors to be in-
 troduced to his royal highness. Of
 course Col Warner was the first to be
 honored. Advancing toward the prince
 he grasped his outstretched hand and
 giving it vigorous shake exclaimed:
 .'Mr Wales, am very happy to make your acquaintance, sir!'' The officers
 of the guard stood aghast at this ex- treme cordiality on the part of their commander, and an amused expression came over the face of the prince, but,
 giving the Colonel as vigorous shake as he had received, he good humoredly expressed his pleasure at the co1npli- ment paid him. Upon the return of the guard to their armory Major Lloyd Parks, who entertained entirely differ- ent notions of etiquette from his colo mel, took him to task for his brusque- ness. Colonel .sJoe. listened in sur prise at the rebuke of his subordinate and when he had concluded, he said "See here, Lloyd, took liking to that fellow; there's nothing of the dr. istocrat about him. Why, he doesn't wear better hat than I do. He may be prince in his own country, and maybe some day he'll be king, but so long as he's in these great United States, he's Ed Wales and I'm Joe Warner.

Fresh interest in the Boer war has been aroused by the presence in Wash ington of General Samuel Pearson, who stopped on his way to New York, where he has been called to confer with the representative of the Boer government on important business, which he expressed the hope was con nected with negotiations for peace. Speaking of the matter, General Pear son said: "I hope that the dispatch which calls me to New York is in the interest of peace. We want peace. We are just as anxious for peace as you, but it must be an honorable peace otherwise We will fight fight until the last man falls. It would probably be a good idea if the, Amer ican government would exert itself in the matter of attaining peace. Amer ica is a friend of the English govern fnent and the Boers as we'll, and it would not be amiss if the Americans would again see what they could do. I hope it is true that the Boer govern ment has appealed to The Hague tribunal for arbitration, and also hope that England will consent to it. I know from information recently re- ceired that the English people are just as anxious for peace as we are" Gen. eral Pearson claims that the Boers still have 2e,o00 men in the field and that they have all the ammunition and supplies necessary to keep on fighting indefinitely. He also claims that news of recent Boer successes has been sup pressed by the English, who censor all news from South Africa. 1t is not at all probable that this government will adopt General Pearson's suggestion as to making another effort to fry to, bring about peace. Officials say that the answer to the previous effort made it impossible to make another without upsetting precedent and violating in- ternatlonal courtesy.

THE DEANS UMBRELLA.

The Very Rev Dean McNulty made a raid on several saloons with rear rooms late Saturday night. One of the places he visited was Patrick J. Duff fy's, at Market and Prince streets. In the back room a musical darky trio was trolling out ragtirne melody. There was piano and bones accompaniment and Ma Honey, Lou, Lou" was the walk around refrain. Two young women and three sporty looking young men were doing a high kicking act, keeping time to the music when the venerable priest appeared in the door, way. A wild scramble for escape, ac- companied by subdued screams marked the intrusion. The only exit was by the door by which the dean had just entered. The priest recognized one of the men, and his wrath caused him to use his umbrella on the crowd, as they rushed past him. He used it so wig orously that he broke the handle. New York Tribune.

TRANsPLANTING BIG TREES.

A woman of means who owned a handsome country house on the Hud- son was very fond of two beautiful beech trees which stood near her resi- dence. A few seasons ago she bought house at Newport, and decided that thereafter she would spend her sum- mers at that resort of fashion. Ac- cordingly she sold her place on the Hudson; but in parting with it she could not bear to leave behind her fa- vorite beeches. She consulted a firm that is engaged in the business of mov- ing large trees, and they undertook the task of transporting the two full grown beeches from eastern New York and the trees were taken up, placed on scows, carried down the Hudson and up Long Island sound to Newport. where they were set before the wo- mans new residence. A quantity of the soil of their former home had been brought along to sustain them until they should become accustomed to their new surroundings, and the trees received every reasonable care and as- sistance The experiment was a conn plete success. The moving of these two trees is said to have cost their owner $30000, and the feat is proba- bly, the long distance record for the transplanting of trees.

 An Englishwoman living in New York says that the first time she ever heard of Andrew Carnegie was about 25 years ago, when one of her friends in England was invited to go on a coaching party he made up to drive from Lands End to John O'Groat's. He spent all he could for everybody, and gave all the guests such good time that those who had never heard the phrase good time" adopted the Americanism for their own. Since that time the words have come into very general use with Londoners. Tn the days of the long coaching trip from the southern end of the United Kingdom to the most northern MT. Carnegie was known as "the star spang1ed Scotchman."

And he steadily grew Werse. ,3 ftes E Then a wise neighbor had bright idea. He thought it all out by him. self. He went over to the hiccough- er's house and was ushered into the room where the afflicted one was fast hiccoughing his life away.

 '.Oh, don't come any of your inno- cent business on me!' cried the neigh borJ T know you, you old sponge"
 The hiccougher's face turned red.
 ''What-hic-did you-hic-call me ?" he suffered.
 Called you a sponge, you lobster, ; believed the neighbor. You're a pretty object lesson for your unfortl- nate children, ain't you, you gulping old hypocrite?''
 "Get out of my-hic-house!' roared the sick man.
 ''Go to blazesr' yelled the neighbor. 'sI'm going to stay right here and see the last of you. The people on the street sent me over. Wait until the old wolf's gone they said, and then wave a flag out of the window They are going to have jollification supper and fireworks to-night--and don't you dare to disappoint emp
 This was too much for the hiccough- CT. He said several bad words as he made dash at the neighbor, and they raced around the room a half dozen times, the hiccougher getting madder at every jump, and then the neighbor darted through the door and escaped
 The sick man flung q flower pot at him as he raced down the yard, and then he suddenly realized that his hic- coughs had gone.
 For that was part of the neigh bor's theory, you see. He believed that if he could get the dying man real excited and angry the affiiction would leave him. And he proved he was Plain Dealer.

Mosquitoes of Paris during the sum- mer and autumn, though not such ty- rants as their American brethren, have been getting more and more troublesome and have now earned the distinction of attracting the notice of the Academy of Medicine, of Paris.
 At its last meeting Dr. De Hove suggested that they might be the means of propagating disease, and proposed that all stagnant sheets of water in the city should be either converted into running water or cov- cred over with slight layer of pe- troleum to prevent their breeding.
 Drs. Laveran, Chatus and Proust backed up pr. De Hove's proposal, but said mosquitoes are harmless from the point of view of disease, though undoubtedly a great nuisance.

Not only the standing rigging, but great part of the run ming, is steel wire rope. Only the ropes that have to be pulled on with hands, like sheets-ropes that trim the sails-are made of hemp. This is because steel is not only stronger, but it does not stretch like cord made of fiber.

over the assessments of last year, al
though Granite county. as already stated

The grounds for the assessors kick
against the county board are shown in

have been reduced to $1,OO2,731, by far
the largest reduction ever made by
county board in the history of the state.
The assessor had valued the property
OF the county outside of the railroads at
$2.9O0.S25, which was an increase Of
N,O16,S41 over the assessment of the same
property in 1900. The county board has
reduced this years assessment to S, ,S97,-
5s4 AS 1t stands, the valuation Is $74,110
over that of last year.
The Granite county board made a re-
duction Of $416,s ,s01 in real estate and i'm
proVements. Included In this was a re-
dGction OF 100000 in the valuation of
mining claims. There were still larger
reductions in the personal property list.

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Great Falls, Aug. 22-The suit Of A. D.
Mckenzle against Edwin Young for
$4,000 damages for libel, claimed to
nave been directed against the character
OF Mckenzie by Young year Or more
ago, was yesterday ordered thrown out Of
court, for the reason that the plaintiff
mas failed to put up the $500 cost bond
as It was ordered he should at the last
term Of court.
Both men stood high in labor circles
and the libel claimed was in allegations
made in letter to Ed Boyce, president
OF the Federation Of Miners, charging
Mckenzie with having msapplied GER
tain funds.
The matter became something Of a la
Dor organization trouble and threatened
to cause sensation, for at the last term
Of court Mckenzie got up in court and
made grave charges against his attorney
and demanded trial at once. If the
case had gone on it was expected that
several sensations would have developed.
When, however, the case came to trial
it was shown that Mckenzie not only
was not citizen Of the United States,
but was not even a resident, his home
and family being in Canada.
Upon the showing the court ordered
that Mckenzie put up $500 cost bond
within 30 days, but he failed to do so,
and is now in Canada, while his case is
out Of court.

Barber went into the L. & l.. restau-

the meek and lowly appearing Chinaman
who was in charge of the place that
he could whistle for his pay. The Chi
naman seized the white mans hat and
declared he would hold 1t until the bill
was paid.
This angered Barber and ne seized a
chair and struck the Chinaman down,
cutting his scalp quite seriously. Bar

his fine and he was turned over to the
street commissioner.
He refused to work on the streets and
was put in the dark cell at the Jail and

the outlook Of the creditors grows poor

The inventory just made shows a 50, 100

either will sell up to inventory price. In
the petition Of bankruptcy the stock was
scheduled as amounting to $6.75919.
The book accounts are given In the
schedule as amounting to $5,65495. but
there are great many contra a-accounts
and it is not probable that more than 49,
600 or $4,000 will be realized out of the
bills. Promissory notes and securities
are scheduled by the bankrupt at $1,000.
The debts amount to $16S6716. accord
