Now is the time to look back and
review the past, as did old Janus, for
whom January was named. He was
the porter, the gate keeper, Of heay-
en-, and had two faces-one to look
back and the other forward into the
mysterious future. Numa Pompilius
gave him his name and his high office,
for he was next in power to Jupiter.
He added two months to the calendar
and called one January for Janus
and the other February for the mother
Of Mars. Until then there were but
eight months of forty-six days each
! Numa added two more, which gave
them thirty-six days each, and January
was the fourth month and remained
so for more than two thousand years
April was the first month and re

Just now he is about forty miles from
Fort Yellowstone in the midst of n

move to another camp where he can
observe buffalo. mountain sheep and

While he is absent from his train,
Secretary Loeb is virtually the head
of the government of the United
States, he writes all the official COM
munications to heads of different de-
partments in Washington and decides
all questions that are ordinarily passed
up to the president.
The private car Elysian is therefore
the temporary White house. A lit
tie desk in the dining room of the car
is Deputy President Loeb's office and
cabinet room combined. Assistant
Secretary Burns might be termed the
cabinet.
The cabinet and deputy president

CATHOLIC BALL

The Easter Monday ball given by
the ladies of the Catholic church last
night was tremendous success. There
must have been close onto two hun
dred couples in the hall during the
most crowded period of the evening.
The dancing was more matter of fun
than art for it was a case of continu-
al humping and begging pardon the
whole way round the hall This
changed greatly after the midnight
hour, by which time a portion of the
guests had taken their departure.
Then the terpsichorean stunt was
more than enjoyable. Whitney's or

sweet melody for the dancing.
About IL 80 it was announced that
supper was ready at the lower end of

| thirty couples. When these had done
partaking of the varied and excellent
assortment of viands, another shift
went to work. They ran all told
about seven shifts by which time the
ladies in charge of the tables decided
that they had much cause for rejoic-
ing. Most of the food had disappear
ed and in Its stead was cigar box
pretty well filled with coins of the
realm, not to mention several prepos-
| sessing green backs.
The management of the whole affair
was highly creditable. Every detail
went off smoothly and showed once

church never undertake anything that

FORTUNE ON BREATH.

new Ork, Aprll IL. - Justice
Blanchard today decided that Lucien
Mas, witness in the Fair case, need
not answer certain questions that
were asked him in the hearing before
Referee Keener.
Mas. in the hearing before the ref
cree. was asked who he was with and
at what hotel he stopped the night be-
fore the accident. He replied that
he was with woman, but refused to
give her name or the name of the
hotel they were at on the ground that
as he was a married man the answer
would tend to degrade and incrimi-
nate him.
Justice Blanchard decided that the
question was immaterial and incom-
petent and not necessary 20 the ac-
ton. The hearing was resumed and
Lucien Mas concluded his testimony
under cross examination.
Counsel for Mrs. Nelson then called
Alfred j. Morane, of France, who,
Mas says was with him when he wit
messed the accident to Mr.. and Mrs.
Fair.
Morane said that he was with Mas
ON the day of the accident. He was
off his wheel when the automobile
with the Fairs and their chauffeur
passed him. 1t was going very fast.

THE MUSIC LOVING PUBLIC.

Will appreciate the work done by
the City Union orchestra at the ball
given by the Catholic church last
night. Everybody and his wife was
there and the best dancers in town
We're ON the floor. Special notice was
taken of the regular time kept by the
orchestra, which, added to the charms
of the up-to-date strains, made the
occasion one of complete pleasure and
enjoyment. A prosperous future is
predicted for this organization. which
is working as much for the benefit of
the public at large as for the personal
aggrandizment of its members. Since
Prof s. NJ Boyer left the town many
people have been under the impression
that the old orchestra was defunct.
After once hearing the City Union
orchestra, they will change their
minds and realize the fact that like
the phoenix the reorganized orchestra
is fully up to its old class of work.

A STRANGE QUARREL.

Chicago, April 13.-A friend in .Te-
rusalem sends me most extraordina-
ry account of another quarrel between
the Greek and Roman Catholic monks.
writes W. Il. Curtis, from Washing
ton. This time it is over the disput-
ed tomb of the Holy Virgin. which is
covered by church originally built
by the Empress Helena. in the fourth
century, on the banks of the brook
kedron, at the foot of the Mount of
Olives, near the Garden of Gethsem-
ane. Very little is know l of the last
days of the mother of Christ and the
place of her death and burial are dis
puted. Many historians believe that
she accompanied st. John, the beloved
disciple to Antioch and lived there un-
that she was buried there also. But
other traditions, which can be traced
back as far as the third century, rep
resent that she died in Jerusalem and
was buried where her present tomb
stands. The original church was par
italy destroyed by the Perslans. but
was rebuilt upon the old foundations.
The church is still in good state
of preservation and stands to the left
of the carriage road which leads up
the Mount of olives near a bridge
that spans the brook Kedron.
The tomb was originally a grotto or
hole in the rock. After descending
fifteen steps from the roadway one
reaches large courtyard on a level
with the brook. A flight of forty
seven marble steps nineteen feet broad
lead down into the grotto thirty five
feet below the level of the brook,
which is fitted for chapel.

Probability Of Action Looking to In

ulative Concerns.

Very likely at the next session OF
the city council the attention OF that
body will be called by Mayor Foster
to a matter hvaing for its object an
increase in the city's receipts from
licenses derived from a source now
regarded as paying in entire dispro-
portion to other doing busi-
ness within the corporate limits, and
their ability to pay upon an equitable
basis OF the money they take in year
ly from the public. Reference is
had to the bucket shops, which IN
recent times have become among the
recognized institutions doing business
in almost every city in the state.
When the existing license laws
were enacted there were no such con-
Germs in the state and the legislature
made no provision for licensing them.
They are not mentioned among the
various branches of business that are
required to pay license, yet the cOun-
ties and cities in which they operate
concluded that they should be obliged
to pay for the right of doing business
the same as other firms and concerns.
In this county and city they are IL
censed as professional" firms and un-
der this classification pay q merely

by the managers and they have a
regular clientage mlles away from the
base of their operations. Every day
they communicate with their victims
and agents and keep them informed
concerning the melons that are to
be cut or the good ,n1ngs' they have
OF the list. In this way they have
all the time a large number on their
string and the remittances they are
enabled to make lo the home offices
would be surprising could they be
generally known.
Bucket shops are communal vam-
pires. They take out everything
without putting anything back. For
that reason they should be taxed to
the limit. II they believe the license
that may be imposed is too high they
have the alternative OF closing up
shop and retiring. Billings should
set the example ana take the initiative
in this regard"
