he Friars, the wide unbuilt lands be-
 lind St Peters were allotted To the mendicant Augustinian friars. and the earl of Hereford founded their priory there In the year 1854 the priory church was rebuilt on an enlarged scale. It's east s,n. extended to Bread street. and the little church of St. Peter-le-Poer nestled in the angle between the choir and the south transept very much as St. Margarets shelters beneath Westmin- ster Abbey. In 1475 the priory church was again wholly or partly rebuilt
 The appearance of Broad street at this period can be imagined, with the aid of Wyngrerde's bird s-eye view of London. made in the time Of Henry VIII. where St. Peters is seen. small and snug, at the foot of the great and beautiful priory church. whose graceful tapering spire rose at the intersection of choir and nave and transepts.
 Broad street was al the height of it's glory. arehitecturally. in those days, but since then it has fallen on evil times. The Reformation robbed t Of the great priory church, whose choir. chapels and chapter house were all torn down by the son of Sir William Powlett. afterwards marquis of Winchester. To whom the crown had granted them The tombs of royalty and nobility innumerable which sheltered within the old priory church were ruthlessly destroyed. and all that Broad street had to show in exchange was the new Powletts Inn. or Winches- ter house. whose successor is now well enough known to the company promot- ing world.

 By further good fortune St Peter-le- Poer also escaped destruction in the great fire of 1666. Yet al last its hour was come. As already noted the church jut- ted out into the roadway of Broad street al an awkward angie which mar rowed the thoroughfare It's fate was sealed, and in 17SS the old-world build ing. with it's curious cupola-erowned tower and turret, its Gothic windows and debased Renaissance porch, was de- molished
 In it's place rose the present plain building, finished in 17S2, and built fur ther back from the street Its only arch itectural merit, as has been observed. is the fact that it's internal plan is entirely circular.
 St Peter-le-Poer is so-ealled not as Stow fancied. because "it was aforetime a poor parish, but from popular cor ruption of "parvus, which this edifce was always styled in medieval docu- ments.

"The late Paul Joseph Blanc. the French artist, studied in Rome in his youth" said an American painter. "and he was noted in those days for his truculence.
 Blanc dined at a students cafe one evening in Rome, and a young Ger man who sat near him said:
 It is easy enough to see. sir, that you are Frenchman.

CHARGE AGAINST MEYER.

A very serious charge has been
made against State Senator William
F. Meyer, of Carbon county, and as
a result some hard feeling has come
to the surface. 1t is not the wish OF
The Gazette to either condemn or
defend Mr.. Meyer, not being on the
ground and therefore not as familiar
with the circumstances as it might
be. 1t feels constrained, however, to
say that the gentleman has come out
in a strong denial of the accusation.
He characterizes it as the work of his
political and personal enemies, gotten
up for the purpose of injuring him in
the campaign and defeat him for re-
election and to injure his standing as
a man and a citizen.
The Gazette understands that it is
the intention of the gentleman to take
occasion within a short time
to make a complete statement
OF his side of the case and to show
that he is not the guilty wretch he
has been pictured. If this is the
truth, then it would, perhaps, be nc
more than just to him to suspend
judgment until then and hear what he
has to say. Few are the stories tina,

Mr.. LINDSAY WAS RIGHT.

Because that gentleman took occa-
sion to use some very plain and truth
full language in his recent speech at
Fort Benton, the Helena Independent
advises the Honorable William Lind
say to change his tactics while cam
paigning the state. In the course OF
his arraignment OF the democratic
party Mr.. Lindsay said: Our state
has been held up as one of the black
spots in the United States"
No one not perverted by partisan
bias will undertake to say that the
remark was not truthful, or that it
overstated the real facts. Montana
has been held up as the zone black
spot all over the nation, and though
| ANNOYING and irritating as it may
have been to us at times, the condi-
| lions that have obtained within the
| state during the last eight or so years
have justified the harsh appelation
and severe criticism to which we as
a state have been subject. What
with seats secured in the United
! States senate by the most ~unblushlng
and brazen bribery and corruption

bribing of courts and the debauchery

ticians and Office seekers, who dare
say that Mr.. Lindsay's arrangement
was unjust or unmerited? Is it not q
fact that the Independent and othe,
democratic newspapers that are nov
making war on the republican nomi
nee for governor gave their unquali
fed support to the men and partie!
who are responsible for the manner IL
which the name of Montana has com
to be regarded throughout the land il
recent years? Severe as his word'
may have been, they hurt the feeling

duct caused their utterance and onl.

do, and did it without buster or pa
rade. 1t was not necessary for him
to attempt to conceal his failure with
an idle boast of making personal
purchase of the vast area of fertile
and productive land and present it to
the people of the state with his COM
pliments. He knew the reservation
should be opened and that the people
of eastern Montana were entitled to
occupancy of it. and demanded it. In
his quiet, modest and transformations
way he set about to effect a purpose
and succeeded.
What he did for the eastern end OF
the state he also did for the western
end and the people of two sections
hold him in grateful remembrance
for it. Let every one turn out tomor-
row and give MOntanaS representa-
tive the reception to which he is en-
titled. Do even more-vote and work
for him with the consciousness that
during the term he was at Washing
ton he succeeded in doing more for
Montana than all those combined did
who preceded him, and that if re-
turned he will continue to represent
the state ably, honestly and success
fully. Mr.. Dixon is undoubtedly able
to get along without being the states
representative, but the state cannot
we'll get along without him in that
position.

Tomorrow the people of Billings
will have an opportunity to show their
appreciation of the man who in a pub
lie way has done more for them

Quence has the greatest claim upon

ter what the pretensions Of the demo

have not two sides to them, and the
present may be no exception to the
rule. At all events, fair play demands
that an accused be given every oppor-
tuniey to prove his innocence and no
man should be condemned before he
has been heard.
Here is what Mr. Meyer has thus
far seen fit to make public:
'rThis story is merely one of those
roorbacks that one hears in every
campaign. There is nothing to it.

to this kind Of campaign work, but it

democrats are so seriously opposed to
Roosevelt and why they are such ar
dent admirers of Parker. They say
that they are tired of a man who does
things and want to put some n in

do things" They profess to have
found their ideal in the man from
Esopus and are willing to give him a
trial. Under his administration there
would be no prosecution of trusts, nc

barons, no institution of litigation re
