Butte. Mont, April 24.-The Western Union has withdrawn it's wires here and Butte is without service save for the Postal Telegraph company.

public rarely hears anything about

Jay Gould used to receive a very big
begging mail, but his daughter. Miss
Helen Gould, gets more in a month
than her father used to in a year. This
is natural, for Miss Gould, like the
John D. Rockefel1ers, has gone in for
philanthropy. 1t is said that she
keeps four or five young women en-
ployed constantly looking up the lives
and circumstances of those who write
to her for aid. 1t is impossible. of
course, even for one so rich as she, to
extend aid to more than a small per-
centage of her petitioners.
On summer day, according to one
OF her former secretaries, the sum
total of the amount asked for was
rising of million dollars, and in a
fortnight. had she given all that was
asked, she would have been nearly
penniless. Frequently, as with the
Rockefellers, the aid given by Miss
Gould consists in finding some way
for the letter writers to help them
selves That is, jobs are looked up
for those out of work, loans are made,
generally without interest, to persons
temporarily embarrassed who are
found to be worthy, etc.

made a mighty vow some months ago
not to have any further communication
with men, or women either, who write
for the daily press.
That was when it seemed that Mr.
Sage's falling health would make 1t
necessary for him to give up active
business life.
To one or two reporters who inter-
viewed her then she talked with entire
frankness, and their literal reports of
her words, though amusing to the
readers, were highly annoying to her
husband. 1t was at his request, they
say, that she decided to far out repor-
tiers in future, and she has rig1dly ad-
hered to that rule ever since.
In the old days she was a mine OF
copy to more than one reporter and So
cial writer. One young woman would
be writer, who had striven in vain to
find a key that would unlock the door
of some publication, had an inspiration
to call on Mrs. Sage some six or seven
yeaHs ago. To her the young woman
poured out the story of her so far un-
attained aspiration, and found SYM
pathetic listener.
Would the young woman think a
story about Mrs. Sage's cats good
