IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES.

A prince among princes in the person
of George j. Schoeffel left Butte yester-
day to return to his home in New York
city. Mr.. Schoeffel had been a guest at
the McDermott for one week. He came
to Butte to recuperate greatly inn
paired health and to look out for bust
ness interests. Those who came in cont
tact With him are glad to know that he
was successful in both quests and they
are sorry to lose such gentleman from
their fold.
TOO much could not be said for Mr..
Schoeffel. 1t would be useless to at
tempt to pay him tribute in words, as
words could not adequately describe the
man and his many charming attributes
Suffice it to say that his many sterling
qualities made him everywhere well
come and by everybody loved.
1t might be added that Mr.. Cchosffel
is a brother of the we'll known theatre
cal manager, formerly member of the
Abbey, Schoeffel and Grau, combination.
He has been club man all his life
and what he does not know about good
stories is not worth knowing.
One of the best stories told by the
genial prince of good fellows while in
Butte was on Dad" Clarke for years
famous as star pitcher of the New
York giants. The story as told in Mr..
Schoeffers language is as follows:
Il met Dad in New York one day
and the original cuss was down in the
mouth. An unusual thing for Dad
too. I asked him what was up and he
replied that he was against it hard.
asked against what? and was told that
finances were not working well with the
twirler. I suggested a remedy for the
evil.
Il told Dad that I was in. on a good
stock deal that was sure to pan out and
stated that if the ball tosser wanted to
make little sure money / would show
him the way. 1 added that it was a
good way to relieve the stringency in
the money market of which Clark COM
planned.

HE GOT THE MOSEY

BY considerable inquiring We have
managed to find out who borrowed
$40 from the Orphans Home Fund.
about which many OF our exchanges
nave been talking and saying little.
The late Governor Jones WAS the
man who borrowed the money. He
committed no wrong III borrowing II.
and had lie lived would have repaid
1t. Those who loaned the money
should have recovered it when the
Jones estate WIS settled. 1t may
tie too late nov 10 take any proceed

any State board. The Boards might

that at the time this money WAS .oan.

member OF the Board of Directors of

or he loaned money that belonged to
the orphans to himself on his " in.

Of the Law that prohibits "A trustee
