ELks KNOW HOW TO DO IT.

Their smoker last Wednesday
night was one of the events in So
cial history of the Smoky City. One
of the best things ever given in
Butte was the smoker given last
Wednesday night, this was the YER
dict unanimously of Is or 20 gentle
men, who attended the smoker given
by the boys, who intend to become
members of Elkdom. The informal
programme that was rendered was
the exchanging of ideas telling stor-
les and the drinkink of Elk's milk and
useing the proverbial phrase hitting
the pipe, intermingled with a snack,
consisting of rye bread and winnie
worst. Duets, solos, recitations and
mandolin selections succeeded each
other in pleasant variety until one
wondered what means of entertain
mentment had been forgotten in the
long list. Prof. II. c. Parsons, the
special deputy, read some literature
pertaining to the workings of the
order and the benefits derived from
being a member of such an order.
Mr. S. Reeves was selected as chair
man and filled the exalted position
with credit.
The new age. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1902-190?, 1902-12-20

consideration of the old idea of nee
colonization and experimental en-
enlargement will be given to such
movement if it appears.
The fact that the efforts of cobn-
iZation in Africa during the last 40
years have failed practically Dies
not preclude a possible success With
such a movement in some of the lew
island possessions. The debate on
Senator Burton's amendment to the
immigration bill proposing bonded
importation of Chinese into Hawaii
for use on sugar plantations. brought
for the statement that the islanders
do not like negro labor there, as i
is not suited to the conditions The
negro has had too long a taste of in
dependence. and is not as docile and
abject as the cooiie.
There is also the apprehension of
race troubles if the colored people. of
the South should go to Hawaii in
large numbers. They have citizen
ship under the legislation of the
United States, whatever their po6ti-
cal condition might be under the
state constitutions. The Chinese do
not possess the boon of citizenship,
and are not likely to have it confer
red on them.
At present the islands are a white
mans country. and coolie labor. ii
is said, is exactly what the white
man wants in his business. There
will, therefore, be opposition to ap-
plying the colonization idea to Ha-
wall. AS to the Philippines, the
case is different That is not a
white mans country, and some say
II never will be. The colored sol
diers who have served there seem
to like the climate, and are liked
by the natives. Negro labor with
American capital would. it is believ
ed, make a success of our occupa-
ton of the islands. At any rate, the
subject is to be taken up and studied
by experts in ethnology and econo-
mics.
AS a first step toward opening up
this inquiry, Secretary Root has ap-
pointed T. Thomas Fortune, a New
York colored republican, as a special
commissioner to go to the Philip
pines and undertake a study of con-
ditions and opportunities for coloni-
cation there of the colored people of
the United States so far as they
are willing to avail themselves of
the chances for homes in a new coun-
try.

est line of Haviland china and cut
glass.
The prettiest room. filled with the
prettiest goods, is this art room of
Hennessy's. Everybody says so who
has seen the best that can be shown.
A Christmas present, more than any
other. reminds one of the giver, and
If il be beautiful as well as useful.
the memory must needs be pleasant.
Therefore. a handsome piece OF cut
glass, a graceful vase or one or the
many pretty pieces shown there en-
hances the appearance of any room
and properly performs its mission.
From the present time until Christ
mas they will sell these choice China
and cut glass. Bisque and Clay Sta

counts off regular prices. Hennessy' S
stock is superior to any in the
state-prices are away below what
ipferior goods elsewhere are expect
ed to bring. They want to reduce their
shock 10 a minimum, hence they make
out figures as attractive to the purse
as are our goods to the eye OF a
connoisseur. They cordially invite you
to call and inspect the many choice
gems of China, Bric-a-Bric and what
not shown in this art room. They
appeal strongly to lovers of the
beautiful, and this pricesless oppor-
tunity of purchasing goods of such
rare intrinsic value may never again
offer. Go and see these lovely
things.
The way the goods are going out
of this store shows plainly that what
they have stated ubout the bargains
to be had in every line carried by
this great firm. Their notion depart
ment on the main floor, near Main
street entrance, is showing all its
new holiday goods, selected to suit
all tastes and satisfy all desires.
They have Baubigant's French per-
fumes, sachet powders, soaps and
toilet articles.
The big store will remain open I'M
til 9 O'Clock p. m. The wise ones who
are alert for bargains and saving
money are taking advantage of this
great reduction sale.

DEATH RELIEF FOR PAIN.
w. A. Washington succumbs To His
Injuries.

w. A. Washington died at st.
AIMS hospital last Sunday morning
at about 10 o'clock from injuries sus-
tanned by striking against an iron
pillar at the Washoe smelter. Wash
ington was riding on a compressed
air locomotive at the time of the ac-
cident He was employed as an I'M
loader of the cars of the compressed
air line. He was riding in the cab
of an engine and while leaning out
of the cab window, struck against
an iron pillar close to the track. He
was violently wrenched from his
seat in the cab.
AS quickly as possible the injured
man was conveyed to st. AIMS hos
pital where 1t was at once discover
ed that his death would only be a
question of time. An attempt was
made to perform an operation on
him, but in his weakened condition
the physicians decided that he could
never survive the shock. His back
was disiocated and he also sustain
ed pelvic fracture by reason of the
accident. He was injured internally
as well.
The body was taken to the futile
undertaking rooms. Coroner Joseph
Hughes stated Sunday evening that
an inquest would be held over the re-
mains at 10 o'clock Sunday morning.
Washington was a married man and
resided with his wife on West Com
mercial avenue. He came to Ana
conda from Butte only a few weeks
ago.
His funeral took place Wednesday.
The New Age extends sympathy to
the surviving family.
