was charged in Judge O'Donnel's court
yesterday with failure to support his four
little children, ranging in age from three
months to eleven years. The testimony
developed the facts that the mother died
two months ago: that Scott earns 50 per
week when steadily employed, but that he
spends for drink the greater part of his
earnings and leaves the support of the
children to an elder brother. The brother
is willing to provide for the children If
Scott will pay one-half his wages toward
their maintenance. The court sentenced
Scott to three months in Jail and suspend
ed sentence on condition that he would
give 81 per week toward the support of
the children. Failure to do this vii cause
his arrest and incarceration.

lABOR'S GREAT DAY.

In spirit at least the whole community
was in the labor procession this morn
ing. The line of men marching down
the middle of the streets did not of itself
represent 1.-THE of the full strength OF
organized labor. The thousands OF men
on either side of the line We're in full
sympathy with the marchers in every
noble aspiration and just purpose. Even
the women and children We're part OF
the procession, for their happy faces,
proud bearing and fine clothes all re-
flected the mutually of interest and sem
timent Where the women and children
look prosperous and well dressed. the
men are always industrious and con-
tented. Any man who should today seek
to make the workers of Butte regard
their station in life as an unhappy one
or seek to belittle the dignity and inde-
pendence of labor would soon find him.
self talking to the unresponsive breezes.
The men who toll in this state under
present prosperous conditions are satis-
field with the important part they are
playing in the states industrial progress.
The same is true of the men who pro-
vide the payrolls. All are working In
harmony. Only the demagogues are dis
gruntled.
The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-09-02

which. up to date. have come from the
fruitful pen Of Jules Verne. Two epic
Englishmen, accompanied by Joe, serv
ant OF the same stamp attempted to go
across Africa in a balloon. To be sure
they had not found out the secret of
steering balloons. but they put their faith
in their star and in the atmospheric cur
rents. Convinced that they had only to
seek in the vertical plane the one among
the many superposed and contradictory
aerial currents which would lead them
in the right direction. they constructed
an aerostat, and off they went. Starting
from Zanzibar, they scared after many
dramatic twists and turns above the solid
mass Of Kilmandjaro, over the country
of the Nyam-Nyams, above Lake Tchad
and the Kong Mountains, and at last
Sene gambia.
The whole story bears singular resem-
blance to piece Of literary insanity, and
the few pontiffs who degned to cast their
eyes over the books, FASTENED to con-
clude. with disdainful grimace, that
such things happen only in romances.
Well, beg thousand pardons of the
pontiffs, but besides M. Henry de Ia
Vaulx, who is getting ready to jump over
the Mediterranean, l know three good
Frenchmen, three distinguished officers,
M. Hourst, Leo Dex and Dibos. who
are ready to attempt the aerial trip
across the Dark Continent on an abso-
lutely similar plan, with the exception
of a few minor details. 1t even seems to
me that the Municipal Council OF Paris
has subsidized the enterprise AT any
rate, if it has refused to do SO it has done
wrong.
There is only one Jules Verne's works,
even the voyage au Centre de la Ter
re- the most extraordinary of them all
which has not been taken up and
seriously discussed We We're even on
the point of seeing that one realized in
the form of we'll kilometre and
half deep, at the late exposition. under
the auspices of an emulator of Jules
Verne, M. Andre Laurie, alias Peschal
Groussert. The latter moreover, had
only appropriated and reduced the
grand conception of an Argentine doc
tor M. J. J. Martinez, who dreamed or
nothing less than piercing the world
through and through.
Positively, Jules Verne, with his
amusing and suggestive fictions mas
more than once inspired science anu
industry. More than once has he en-
gendered miracles by imagining them
in advance. But that is not the great
est of the services which he has rem
dered. The immortal merit of his work
consists in his having created new
state of mind by charging the horizon
of a too much stay -at-home race, ana
impregnating vocations ignorant OF
their capabilitie with energies Whlch
had 1t not been for him would nave re-
manned latent or sterile. Is it not TO
him that the new generations owe, IN
a largo measure the movement OF eX-
mansion which draws them on to fruit
ful crusades for the pacific conquest or
the world, and all for the great benefit
of civilization?
1t would be difficult to estimate the
results which the works of Jules Verne
have achieved in the illumination OF
minds and the stimulation of energies.
