Reunion of Reynolds Family.

The 10th annual reunion of the
Reynolds family was held at Savin
Rock, Conn, August %. Among
those present were Stephen Reyn
Odds and wife, of Rising Sun, and
j. t. Reynolds and wife, of Media.
By way Of q novelty the party
returned from New Haven to New
York by trolley. The distance is
between so and 80 miles, through
a beautiful country, and the great
er part of the route is along Long
Island Sound. In the entire trip
there was only one break, a dis
lance of about six miles, which had
to be traversed by steam cars. The
several trolley fares amounted to
90 cents, whereas the travel for
that distance on railrod would have
cost $1.50. The travellers express
themselves as delighted with this
new method of travel for recreation.

Pole War in Eikton.

There is pole war in Elkton be-
tween the forces of the Dalmarvia
Telephone Company and those of
Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad Company.
Some poles on or near the railroad
property were ordered down, but the
telephone men refused to comply
with the demand whereupon the
railroad employees mustered in over
whelming numbers, took down the
poles and unstrung the wires. The
Town Council gave the telephone
company right of way to enter
Elkton, but not over the road lead
ing from the southeast corner of
the Fair grounds to the Blue ball
crossing, as the property was con-
sidered to belong to private parties
and the railroad company.

BIG HILL MOVING.

A portion of Butte believed to EN-
brace the larger part of the big hill
upon which some of the Anaconda
mines are located, has made very per.
ceptable movements southwestward
during the past few days.
At the foot of Anaconda hill the
slide pushed the tracks of the street
railway line about six inches, for q
distance of 300 feet along the road. AS
there are no buildings in that part
of the city no damage was done ex.
cept to the railroad tracks, and but
for their displacement the slide would
not have been noticed.
Biologists and scientific men claim
that the entire range of mountains
about Butte is constantly moving and
that the sliding process, which has
been going on for ages, and which has
crushed and mixed the copper veins
and ore bodies in the Butte district,
and displaced many of them, is still
going on.
About year ago similar slide o.
Cured in the western part of the city
and right in the residence portion. The
county court house, the handsome res
idence of Senator Clark, several
churches and other buildings were SER
iously cracked. the residence of Mr..
Clark having fissure about two
inches wide through the entire build.
ing from east to west. and the street
car tracks in several places were
bumped up by the sliding motion.
The statement is made by a we'll.
wnown mining man that the collar of
the shaft of the Green Mountain mine,
one of the Anaconda group, has moved
about seven feet in ten years.
The strange phenomenon is regard
ed with interest by scientists, but no
danger is ever apprehended from it.

After all it appears that the build
ing of the new state capitol at Hell
ena is not to be accomplished without
a scandal. The architect is out with
statement that the building is badly
constructed, and not according :o
plans. The animus of the statement
is not yet apparent, but as Mr.. H.
l.. Frank is president of the company
which has the contract, it will be safe
to heavily discount any statement that
the contract is not being lived up tc
in spirit and in truth. Mr.. Franks
reputation in the business world is
such that mere charges from anybody
are not likely to affect it. Mr.. Dona.
hue will have to come on with his
proof before he can hope to make an
impression on the public mind.

We have to admit that in this life
men get, as a rule, what they have
chosen. Character is no doubt to some
degree the result of heredity and en-
vironment, but it is at the same time
a matter of choice. The will is the
most potent element in the growth or
degeneracy of mans character. It
is very natural that men should try
to place evils and misfortunes for
which they are personally responsible
upon some other person, or attempt to
throw responsibilities upon God;
others upon harsh treatment by par
ents and society, and others again re-
fer to the evil associations amid which
they lived and the degenerate social
influence in which they have been
thrown. All these put together are
not sufficient to explain a blasted
character or ruined and blighted
life.

PATRIOTIC EDUCATION.

Major S. H. Almon, a veteran of the
civil war and prominent officer Of
the Grand Army of the Republic is in
receipt of special order No. 2, issued
from the Michigan headquarters of the
G. A. R., relating to the act of con-
gress providing for detail of retired
army and navy officers to assist in mil
itary instruction in the public schools.
This act was signed by President Nc
Kinley about six weeks ago and took
effect Immediately. It is possible that
in view of the interest taken in the
patriotic education of the youth in
Butte, the system may be introduced
there.
The act, Invested Of it's legal VERDI
age, states that whereas the national
defense must depend upon the volun-
teer service of the people of the states
and that whereas those schools which
shall adopt system of military in
structions are entitled to the assist
ance of the government in order to Sc
cure to the United States such a
knowledge of military affairs among
the youth Of the country as will rem
der them efficient as volunteers if
called upon for national defense; the
president shall have the power to de-
tail retired officers of the army and
navy to act as instructors in military
drill and tactics in schools, where
such instruction shall have been an
thorized by the educational authori-
ties and where such services have been
applied for by said authorities.
The school must pay the cost Of
communication Of quarters of the retired
officers detailed thereto. and the ex-
ira duty pay to which such officer
shall be entitled. The government
makes no compensation for such Off
GERS services other than their retir-
ed pay. but will issue ordnance and
ordnance stores for the use of the
schools upon the approval of the gov
ernor of the state.-Butte Inter

ARRESTS At NIGHT.

If the ruling by Judge Loud of thu
seventh judicial district of this state
is to stand as law, the way of the
petty offender is to be made muci
easier. The Judge has laid it dowr
as law that an arrest for misdemeanol
after night fall is unauthorized and IL
legal without a regular warrant. I'm
der that rule drunk must not be TAX
en- to the calaboose without warrant
and if an attempt is made to arrest
him without a warrant, he is justified
in resisting.
The decision was evoked in a case
where a prisoner had resisted an off,
GER. After hearing the evidence the
court instructed the jury as follows:
The court instructs you that in
this case the evidence produced on be.
half of the prosecution is insufficient
to warrant the jury in finding ver-
dict of guilty herein. The insult
cheney consists in this: that the evil
dence shows that the arrest was made
by the police officer between the hours
of 9 and IL p. M. of the eighth day of
March. 1901. The term of night
time as defined by our statute. in
cludes that period of time between
sunset of one day and sunrise of the
next ensuing day. Under our law
an arrest cannot be made by peace
officer or any other officer for a mis-
demeanor during the night time unless
warrant for the persons arrest is
issued by magistrate and with his in
dorsement thereon authorizing the
officer to make the arrest in the night
time.
I'm this case the evidence shows
that no warrant was issued by a mag
istrate and that the arrest was made
by the police officer in the night time
withoct warrant. Such an arrest
would be an illegal arrest and the de-
PENDANT would be authorized in resist
ing the same.

today on the charge of ~embezzling
$50, 600 placed in escrow some two
weeks ago as part of an alleged fund
to be used in securing a 81, 900, 900
contract for the construction of munic-
ipal water works at Grand Rarids,

having been in custody only a few

Sheriff Kunz and neve getting closer
to the county Jail than within sight of
Its frownlng portals, as he approached
the criminal court building on the
way from the quarters in which he
had been technically a prisoner for
more than 40 hours.
1t was announced by Salisbury's at
torneys in Chicago that he had left to-
night on a late train for his home in
Grand Rapids. Before Slisbury had
departed a statement was issued by the
attorney of Guy G. Barton. the Oma-
ha millionaire contractor, from whom
the $50, 900 had been obtained. In
this statement Attorney L. K. Croffut,
the Omaha representative of Barton,
refers to the $50, 900 as a portion of a
fund used in the water works deal,

Barton would personally much desire
not to be instrumental in continuing
the prosecution of Salisbury, but that
the case is in the hands of State

WAY OUT OF IT
Compromise on Hazing Restrictions
in Military Academy APP
preparation Bill.

Washington, Feb. 25-The proposed
West Point hazing restrictions are
proving a stumbling block to the con-
ference agreement on the military
academy bill, but it is understood that
a plan is now under consideration for
compromising the differences. This
contemplates commission of the pro-
posed total disability to hold a COM
mission in army, navy or marine
corps, when once dismissed for hazing,
and substitution of two years disa-
bility from date of graduation of the
class to which the convicted hazer be-
longs.
This would give meritorious gradu-
ates at least two years start and would
prevent repetition of cases in which
persons dismissed for hazing have
afterward secured appointments which
placed them ahead of their class.
The conferees will meet tomorrow
to consider and probably adopt this
compromise plan.

OPPOSED BY
The PRIESTS
PHILIPPINE CLERGY ARRAYED
AGAINST FEDERALISTS.
CLOAK FOR Professionalism
Declare Party to Be a Conspiracy
Against Power of Rom
ish Church.

Manila, Feb. 25-Rev. Father Nc
Kinnon, who was formerly private
secretary to Monsignor Chapelle, and
who is now pastor of the Erminta
Catholic church, informed a represent
alive of the Associated Press today
that there were upwards of 800 native
priests in the Philippines opposed to
the federal party and these would re-
fuse to administer the sacrament to
f~ederalists, because they believed the
federal party to be merely a cloak for
protestant attempts to weaken the
power of the church Of Rome.
He referred to the federal party as
"resting on an insecure foundation
and destined to crumble soon, = and
asserted that Methodist and Presby-
terrain missionaries were using unfair
means to induce Filipinos to leave the
Catholic faith.
He assailed the character of Senior
Buencamento and other evangelical
leaders and contended that only by Sc
curing the cooperation and good will
of the padres could Americans make
permanent progress in the Philippines.
Senior Tavera, president of the fed
eral party, when the views of Father
MoKinnon were borught to his atten-
rion, said: $50 much the better, as
it will bring the matter to an issue"
When asked if the members of the
party would not leave it, if informed
that membership would involve their
church standing, Senior ETavera said:
"They probably would if that were
true, but I believe only a small pro-
portion Of priests would exclude men
from the church for such a reason.
We do not unite the question Of
church and state. This was decreed by
the United States constitution.
Nothing else is tolerated under Ameri-
can sovereignty.
whether the federalists approve or
not, they a be loyalists and yet op-
pose that doctrine. If the Catholic
authorities are not willing to accept
it they are not patriots.
"The federal party may be able to
disintegrate after civil government has
been established in the Philippines,
but establishment of peace under
American sovereignty will not disin-
tegrate it."
Senior Tavera also asserted that the
f%ederalists who had relatives and
friends among the prominent insur-
gent leaders were endeavoring by cor
respondence to induce them to sur
render, although thus far without re-
suit.
