PAINTERS STRIKE.
NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO
WARDS A SETTLEMENT
OF 1T.

There has been nothing done to-
wards a settlement of the strike of
painters, who have been out since the
first of the month. II was thought
that the settlement of the carpenters
strike would have some bearing in
this case, but 1t proved mistah e,
thus far. The contractors stated this
morning that they had heard nothing
Of Of any effort to settle it.

needs. The special phase Of this de-
partment for working boys has met
with universal approval.

trast with other organizations, gave
especial attention TO their needs, likes,
frolics and amusements In the new
building plans they were TO have spe-
cial consideration. He urged purity,
the adherence and abstinence from all
evils that would wreck the body, COR
rupt them and destroy the safe teach
ings OF the conscience.

BREAKING ROCK.
PRISONERS ON THE CHAIN GANG

Chain gang overseer today has
the prisoners on the chain gang at
work breaking rock in the yard back
Of the city hall. 1t is the first time
the city has ever had rock pile, and
the work is said TO be much less en-
joyable than that of working on the
streets. There are about dozen pris
oners on the chain gang, and the rock
they are breaking is to be used on the
levee.
II is probable that the rock pile will

When to Primo

An annual pruning should be given
all grapevines at some time during the
period of rest between the late fall
frosts and the early movement of sap
the following spring, but never prune
when the wood is actually frozen.
Good authorities agree upon this,
though they may differ as to the exact
time that is best to prune. The writer.
in the latitude of central Illinois, has
found it best, for several good reasons,
to practice fall pruning. If done then.
it is out of the way of the rush of
spring work; also, the weather is usual
ly pleasant, and the work may be done
with less personal exposure to the
operator. If pruned in the fall, there
can be no danger from bleeding" &
term used to designate the waste of
sap from the newly made wounds
which follows late spring pruning. If
pruned in the fall and the prunings are
Immediately burned, many disease
germs and insects will be DESTROYED
that would otherwise survive the win
ter and that would prey upon the vines
the following season. Furthermore fall
pruned vines can be more easily pro-
tected from the severity of the ensuing
w1nter.-W. H. Ragan.

HISTORIC STAGECOACH,
Preserved In the Postal Museum al

Preserved In the Postal Museum at
the National Capital.
One Of the most interesting relics of
obsolete postal service to be seen at
the museum in Washington, says the
Washington Post, Is an old time Rocky
Mountain combination passenger and
mail coach, built in 1858. This was
among the first of it's kind to carry the
mails in Montana, the route of this par
ticular coach being from Helena to
Bozeman, the trip consuming a week.
The residents along the same section
now receive four mails daily. The
coach was donated to the museum by
3. S. Huntley, general manager of the
Yellowstone Park Transportation COM
pany. 1t was captured by Indians in
1877 and recaptured after a hot pur-
suit by General Howard. Many dis
tfnguished persons have Travelled in it,
among them being General Garfield, be-
fore he was president; President Ar
thur, on visit to Montana in 1888,
and General Sherman, on a tour of in
spection in 1877. The latter was pas
senger when the coach made the dis
lance from Fort Ellis to Helena, 10S
miles, in eight hours, six horses being
the team, with frequent relays.
This antiquated affair on wheels is
the simon pure, typical stagecoach of
the Beadle dime novel The James
brothers and the Fords may have en-
riched themselves by footing this iden-
teal relic of the west. There are
front and rear boot, the former, under
the drivers seat, being the repository
of Uncle Sans mail bags, the rear boot
serving to carry baggage. Heavy
leather springs and iron tires to the
wheels half an inch thick enabled the
vehicle to withstand the rough usage
to which it was subjected. With ca
pacity inside for nine people, others
riding on top and beside the driver,
with slots in the sides of the coach
through which rides could be aimed, it
seemed evident that a knight Of the
road had to be of reckless mold to
tackle one Of these once q week "ex-
presses"

THE PIERsON FERN.

curled parsley. The fronds on account
of their subdivisions, are very full and
broad, and owing to their breadth and
weight they assume a much more
graceful appearance than the Boston
fern, dropping low down on all sides in
arching curves.
Like the Boston fern, it is suitable
for house culture. It is a magnificent
plant for greenhouse and conservatory
decoration; in fact, 1t is a plant that
appeals to every one and on that &C.
count is likely to be considered more
valuable than the Boston fern, a plant
