MILES CITY "scoopED."
Alexander & Fletcher Will Supply Brick
for Erection OF Two Large Build
lngs There

Miles City can boast of her sucCulent
watermelons, her newspaper merger,
her sporting proclivities, the ability of
her republican politicians to pull the
wool over the eyes of her people and
her numerous suicides, but when it
comes to the manufacture of bricks
not gold oneS-she must take a back
seat and let Rosebud county's capital
maintain it's reputation for turning out
the best quality of this building COM
modify in eastern Montana.
BY deal that was made the first of
the week, Alexander & Fletcher will
supply the brick to be used in the
erection of the buildings of Pierre
Wibaux and Chas. Kelly at Miles City
this season. The contract provides for
the supplying of 450, 600 brick, and
while one 81 ipment will be made within
the next few days, the contract asks
for delivery not later than June.
At present there is not sufficient
brick at he Alexander & Fletcher
yards to fill this contract and Frank
James. who had charge of these yards
last year, has again been engaged and
has already begun work preparatory
to turning out not less than 100000
| brick within the next month or so.
New machinery will be added to the
yards and force of about twenty men
Will be engaged during the season.
The fact that Forsyth can compete
with other towns in this part of the
state in the manufacture of brick not
only augurs well for the producers but
the community, and this recent large
deal is further evidence and corrobo-
rates the News contention that the
Alexander & Fletcher brick are far
superior 10 any turned out by any yard
in eastern Montana.

WORK HAS BEGUN
On the ROundhOuSe at This
Place---Will Be ENLARGED

After months of patient waiting, oc-
casioned by divers and sundry rumors,
the people of Forsyth have finally been
rewarded by the opening up here Of
t roundhouse, which has been re-
naming idle for the past few years.
Monday force of men was put to
work repairing the stalls and inaugu-
rating other improvements necessary
for caring for engines which in the
course of month or so will be stopped
here instead of running the entire
length of the passenger division.
1t is said that the roundhouse is to
be considerably enlarged. 1t will
probably be a month or two before
engines will be held here, and when
everything is in proper working order
the force of railroad men will be in
creased here twelve or fifteen.
Railroad men are generally pleased
with the new arrangement that will
inevitably take place. Especially SO
are the engineers and firemen, for by
stopping the engines here these en-
ployes will doubtless have charge con-
tinuously of their own engines as is
not now the case.
Forsyth people are naturally elated
over this move by the railroad company
for it will put stop to the rumors that
this place is to be passed up as a
division point, thereby materially cut
ting down the monthly payments here
Of the railroad employees.

This is education which is the adjust

ing. This was followed by Prof. Bee
man discussing the subject of language
study.
He said the first object should be to
correct errors in the common use OF
anguage. Some formal grammar may
be taught carefully, beginning, per-
,aps with the third grade, but even
hen better without the use of text
books; only giving facts for which the
child has actual use at that time, not
what he may need at some future time.
Language work should include very
primarily letter writing.
Miss Smith followed with a talk on
geography. and dealt with methods
Of making geography of practical
value. Language and history were
inseparably connected.
Study from life, i. e., taking the
subject of clothing: First, cotton
Where it grows, how it is cared for;
entire history. Second, wool; third,

ton with this simple weaving is

Where no actual experimental work
can be done by the child, pictures may
be collected, also drawn. The land
scape in any community should be
studied and weather chart kept. A
careful study of the soil should be
made to ascertain which kind is neces-
sary for vegetable growth. A study OF
the surface will lead to knowledge
of simple geology. Field excursions
are very important. knowledge must
be gained through individual expert
ence. The study of rivers from rills

phases of river, falls, gorges, flood
plain, dykes, deltas mouths, flow

The study of lakes, oceans ant
mountains should deal with their valu,

Maps should not be used for small
children. First maps should be purel,
pictures. Foreign countries should b.
taught first from structural maps
later from physical maps; then from
the maps make up their minds abou
the form and structure of the country

CHURCH DENOMINATIONS
CONSIDER UNITING

PIrTSBURG. Pa. April 22.-More
than one million church members in
the United States are vitally interest
ed in the proceedings of the confer
ence begun here today having for its
object a union Of the Congregational,
United Brethren and Methodist Prot
estant churches and the smaller sect
known as the Christian Connection.
The conference is composed of dele
gates appointed by the four denomina-
tions to formulate a scheme of union
if the idea is deemed feasible. All
of the churches have a somewhat sim
liar form of church government, max
ing much of local self-government
Any agreement reached is likely to be
based largely upon the freedom and in
dependence of individual churches and
freedom from binding creeds. Greed
differences, it is felt, will not prove
so great an obstacle to unity as the
opposite ideas of policy now obtaining
The question of what name the uni
fed denominations should adopt will
be an interesting one.
If the union of the four churches is
accomplished it will form a body of
one million two hundred thousand.
1t is believed tnat in the event OF
union there need be little adjustment
of fields, save, perhaps between United
Brethren and Methodist Protestants.
These bodies have their chief strength
in Pennsylvania. Ohio. Maryland and
Indiana Congregationalists are
strongest in New England. Brooklyn
Chicago and on the Pacific coast
while the Christians, who are not to
be confounded with the large Christian
or Disciples of Christ body. have their
strength in the south and southwest

ed by the first congress. Colonial bro

SENATOR CLARK ON AL
LEGGED BREACH OF PROMISE

NEW YORK, April Ex-senator
William A Clark of Montana. in
speaking of the si50,O60 suit of Miss
Mary McNellis of this city for alleged
breach of promise, the hearing of
which was kept secret for year, SAYS
that he would rather stand publicity
than give up cent when he consid-
ers he is right. The matter became
public through the petition of Miss Nc.
Nellis attorney to reopen the case
which the referee had decided against
her In discussing the case Senator
Clark said.

her or induced her to believe that I

tertainng young woman. You will no.
tice that she waited four years from
1896 to 1900 to bring this suit. In the
meantime, through her lawyers, eff
forts were made to induce me to pay
her some money in settlement of her
alleged claim, but | refused. Repeat
ed demands were made, and the
amounts asked for were from time to

for the referee did not come from me.

Miss McNellis, in her petition TO re-
cover possession of her documents in
the case. says that after. the action
was brought it was suggested that it
would be well to employ Stillmar f.
kneeland and he became Ter counsel
She believes that the consent of Gen.
eral kneeland to the ord6r of refer
ence was procured by Senator Clark
for the purpose of deprivina her of her
right to a trial by jury and to hush
up the action.
Several hearings We're had before
the referee, but she says she knew
nothing of the result until April, 1902,
when she was told that the referee
had decided the case against her. She
was informed, she says, that arrange
ments were pending to interest the
senator in the purchase of mines in
British Columbia in which General
kneeland had part interest, and that
she would receive substantial sum
out of 1t If the senator did purchase
an interest. She says she was told it
had been agreed that no appeal should
be taken and that evidence and exhib-
its in the case should be suppressed

CATHOLIC ARcHelsHoPs MEET.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April "a
The Catholic archbishops of the Unit
ed States and a number of the promi
nent clergy are assembled in the city
to attend the annual meetings of the
board of trustees of the Catholic Uni
versity and of the archbishops Among
the well known prelates in attendance
are Archbishop Farley of New York.
Quigley OF Chicago, Riordan of San
Francisco, Ireland of St. Paul and
keane of Dubuque.
The meeting of the university trus-
tees will be made notable by the in
stallation tomorrow of the new rector
ing of the corner stone of the new
Paulist house of studies, which is to
be a training school for Catholic mis-
sion priests There are several ques-
tions before the archbishops that will
make their present meeting one of
unusual Importance Foremost among
these is the demand from Rome for
American missionaries in the Philip
pines and in Porto Rico, and a ques-
ton hardly second to it is Italian spir-
itual care, the number of Italian Cath.
olics coming to America at this time
breaking all records. Another sub
ject to receive attention is that of So
rialism. whose rapid strides in some
parts of the country has attracted the
attention of the Roman Catholic
church authorities.

SAY GIRLS ARE TOO ATHLETIC

LONDON, April 22-The Daily Mail
and the Daily Express have both been
publishing series of letters condemn
ing tendency OF fashionable schools
for girls. 1t is declared they place
proficiency in games before everything
else. One rector of the Church of
England says it is difficult to distin
guish between the letters by his bar
barian sons" and those by his daugh-
ters, as both are full of hockey, crick-
ct and football terms. Both equally
reek of slang.
There is. he says. the same interest
in matches, the same journeys OF
teams to other schools, the same pur-
suits, and as result the same tech
nicalities as well as the same slang.
A society writer says that privately
the queen disapproves and expressed
her disapproval of the ultra athletic
girl and of the manner in which the
modern girl emulates the freedom OF
the American type. But her keenest
condemnation is reserved for the mar
ried women who strut upon the anna
teur stage with the airs of a profess
sonal actress, and who show such an
unwomanly taste for masculine parts
and abbreviated dresses. Her ideal
woman is more domesticated-a blend
of the perfect housekeeper of gener'
alton before the last and the accom-
plished blue-stocking.

London journal Compares Them With
Work of British TaiIors.
LONDON, April 22.-Tailor and Cut
ting has again this week fallen foul
OF present styles of mems clothing in
the United States.
1t says that at present the collars
and lapels are being made up ridicu-
lously small in the United States, and
the peculiar methods Americans adopt
in finishing the back skirts Of their
body coats with the crease level with
the back plat, is unsightly. Their
style. it says. is generally ornate. but
frequently they indulge in eccentrici-
ties that are almost as quickly intro
duced
The reason why the English style of
clothing is preferred to American ORR
gin, 1t asserts, is to be traced to the
way we avoid extremes and the gen
eral neatness and appropriateness of
the finish. Yankee tailors may sew
as well as our best men. but sewing
is not everything. Their cutters may
be as scientific as our but science Is
not everything either. There must be
taste as well as skill. art as well as
science. manipulation as well as sew
ing in order to produce a really good
garment"
