Tatem, assayer in charge of the United
States assay Office in Helena, was
$46,96 1877 a decrease of about % per
cent from the year before. The de-

A Filthy Workshop.
The next house visited was in such a
condition of dirt and degradation that
the marvel was that one could work
who lived in 1t. The halls were dark.
In each hallway was a sink and water.
Eight families lived in this house,
with sanitary conveniences OF the most
primitive order for one. The halls to
the top were sitting with the odors.
Every inch of space in the rooms was
occupied. Every family took dodgers
to reduce the rent.
The next visit revealed two boys OF
eight, with caps and coats on. sitting
on the floor. sewing buttons on trous-
ers. A little girl with a needle and
long thread ran from the room when
the visitors appeared. The place was
vilely dirty-dirt that had been accum-
ulating for weeks. Even a glass sugar
bowl standing on a able had dirt thick
in the interstices of the pattern. The
beds made the street seem preferable
as a resting place. Fifteen persons
lived in three rooms.
Very little home work except finish
ing clothing for men and boys was
found in the tenements. AS one looked
at the mems clothing lying on dirty
beds, strewn over dirty floors, lying on
the laps of women whose dirty dresses
or aprons suggested disease. and pic

one wondered why the struggle to Sc
sure protection for the consumers
should be left to women; why it was
so impossible to rouse men to the hor-
rors of sweatshop garments.

a FAMILY FEUD.
Father and Four Sons and Three Cat
tIemen Killed.

McCook. Neb., June "Details of
the annihilation of almost whole
family have been received from St.
Francis, Kan.
Lincoln, Neb. June 5.-A Superior,
Neb.. special gives the story of the
fight at ST. Francis, Kan, between
the Berry family and some cowboys.
Land had been taken up by old
man Berry as a homestead. The
fences of the cattle company inter
fered with his passage to and from
the roads. Wire cutting on the part
of the Berry family in order to get
the shortest possible road to town is
said to have been the original cause
of the quarrel. The cowboys on the
De War ranch had threatened to kill
the family.
The fight resulting in the five
deaths came after n recent trip of
the Berry family to the town. The
father and four sons were returning
to their homes. Eight miles from
their destination they stopped to cut
their way through wire fence. The
cowboys came upon them just as
they completed the work. The
Berrys mounted quickly and the
cowboys fired. The oldest boy, John,
was wounded, but stayed in his sad
die. The farmers had the freshest
mounts and soon were beyond accu-
rate rifle range. The cowboys kept
up scattering fusillade of shots.
Arriving home the Berrys did not
think they had been pursued all the
way and they we're in front of the
house when the party of cowboys
rode up the hill n few yards TO the
north. The shooting began immedi-
ately. Two of the Berry boys were
killed before they could reach their
rifles. The old man and the other
two boys got inside the house. There
were about 20 cowboys and they
started on the gallop for the house,
intending To fire il and burn the de-
Tenders out. The old man and the
boys attempted to escape from the
other side of the house and were
shot down in succession. Three Of
the cowboys were killed by the farm

KISHINEFF MASSACRE.
The Director Of Hussfs's Police Gives
His NersIOn Of the Amir.

New York, June G.-The Christian
Herald in reply to cablegram sent
to the czar asking for an official re-
port of the occurrences at Kishineff
has received a reply from the direc-
tor of the Russian police department.
The reply follows:
"Russia's agricultural and laboring
population is i'll at ease, living the
common life with Jewish inhabitants
of widely developed commercial in
stinct; hence there is constant an
tagonism, the material differences in
racial and religious character coming
to the verge of frenzy at the least
possible occasion.
THE strained relations existing be-
tween the Russians and Jews of Bes-
sarabia were made worse by the fact
of finding in an outlying village q
murdered Christian boy. This muir
der was attributed by the population
to the Jewish ritual habits. Official
denials of the ritual murder were
not given credit by the peasants, who
attributed other murders of Christ
ians in the towns of Kieff and Kish-
ineff likewise to the Jews.
VII Isio'tl hh III Vic U
place of Kishineff, the workers while
holiday making saw a Jew strike a
Christian woman, who fell to the
ground, letting go her infant baby.
This incident was the cause of an
outburst The workers began break
ing windows and pulling down jew
ish stores as a sign of protest. The
police, who always leave much to be
desired in provincial towns, failed to
make efIicacious intervention, many
thousands of the mass of onlookers
and holiday makers approving the
riot and hindering the policemen's
actions.
after demonstrators came plum
derers, the outbreak lasting from in
the afternoon to 10 in the evening
and leaving nine Jewish bodies on the
place. Night brought the disturb
ances to an end.
'In the end. the town having been
divided into districts, with special
military command in each, the dis
turbances ceased on Monday evening.
BY this time the minister of the in
terror has ordered the proclamation
of martial law and ian unprecedented
lice department to investigate as to

ticials. In consequence, the COVER
nor, the chief of the police and some
other officials were dismissed out

in prison and hard work in the ST.
berian mines awaits them.
THE minister of the interior has
issued a circular to governors all
over Russia, authorizing them to
make immediate use of firearms in
cases of anti-Jewish disturbances.
The Russian government is the first
to disapprove of such horrid acts Of
violence, but it cannot. in compliance
with the requests of revolutionary
press, give the Jews new rights of
citizenship, as this would be sure to
drive the Russian population to new
excesses against the Jews. who are
hated by the peasants with such ex-
traordinary force"

THE DRY WEATHER
Has Caused Forest Fires in q
Number of States.
Losses VIII be Very Large-New En-
gland, New Jersey and the Adj
rOndack Region Suffer -
Flames Are Hard
to Subdues

Philadelphia, June 5.-This city and
vicinity is enyeloped in smoke which
makes the atmosphere almost as
thick as though u fog was hanging
over the city. There is a strong odor
of burning wood, and it is believed
the presence of the smoke is due to
forest fires in northern and central
New Jersey.
The smoke settled down over the
city at about noon. A strong north
easterly wind prevailed all day. The
smoke extends across New Jersey to-
the coast and fully 100 miles south of
this city. The hazy atmosphere was
responsible for the steamer Cra-.
thorne going aground in the Della
ware river, so miles below this city.
Glens Falls, y. Y, June 5.-In
spite of the efforts of hundreds of
men throughout the Adirondaclls, the
forest fires are spreading. The most
serious fires are in the vicinity of
Long Lake east, towards Newcombe
Lake and Mount Marcy. Farther
south fires are raging along the Cen
tire river and at Indian Lake.
Every available man is being press
ed into service. Robert Pruyn, of
Albany, whose preserve lies in
toward Newcomb Lake, sent a big
force of men from Albany to North
Creek by special train. His property,
which consists of 1000 acres, lies di-
rectly in the path of the fire.
At Lake George the ashes fell
Thursday like heavy snowfall. y
dense smoke .ds settled over the
lake, obscuring the view. Fires are
reported at Silver Bay, at Hague and
also in the mountains on the east
side of the lake towards Lake Cham
plain. According to the records
there have been only three-tenths of
an inch of rainfall in Glens Falls
since April 10.
Saratoga, \. Y, June 5.-Hundreds
of men have been sent to the front
to fight the fires, but they are al
most powerless, as the fires appear to
have got far beyond control. Several
fires are in progress in the Green
field mountains.
Plattsburg, \. Y, June "a tele-
gram from Lake Placid says that sew
eral lumber camps at South Mead
ows, near Cascade Lake, big board
ing house in Rogers Brothers logging
camp, about five miles from Lake
Placid, and the barns of the Cascade
Lake house were burned.
A report from W. II. Tracy, man
ager of st. Hubert's inn, says the
fires are very serious near there.
Boston, June 5.-For the first time
in many years the density of the
smoke from forest fires produced a
pronounced yellow atmosphere here
yesterday. The sun was visible, but
it had no more power through the
smoky pail than on a cloudy day. The
smoke was sufficiently dense to cause
discomfort to those having sensitive
throats and eyes.
1t is AZ days since rain in any APP
preciable amount has fallen in this
section, and during that time the
losses from forest fires in New
England have aggregated S1,OOO,00O.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
storms and Floods Retarded Business
During the Past Week.

New York, June 6.-R. G. Dun G.
Co.'S Review of Trade says:
The elements provided the only un-
favorable developments of the week,
and while these may not prove far
reaching in their effect, the first re-
suit is seen in greater conservatism.
Dispatches regarding trade condi-
tions at the leading cities are gener-
ally encouraging. Railway earnings
in May were 12.7 per cent. larger than
last year and 25.4 per cent. greater
than in 1901. There is still an in
clination to defer the placing of con-
tracts for iron and steel.
Textile Industries show no mate
rial improvement. Sellers of cotton
goods are unwilling to accept con-
tracts for distant delivery, and even
on immediate business there is little
disposition to accept the prices Of
fered. Interior trade reports are
less favorable, western business being
affected by floods, while drouth at
the east and numerous strikes re-
strict consumption. Conditions as to
woolen goods are practically un-
changed.
Failures this week in the United
States numbered 1872, against 21S the
corresponding week last year, and in
Canada "a, against 16 last year.
