THE PROMOTER STOOD IN.
Entitled to Share for Imparting a
Good Idea to the Com
PAW.

How Seth Bullock, superintendent of
the Black Hills forest reserve, personal
friend of the president and not infre-
quently guest at the white house and
a noted western character, managed to
secure fancy drink in the early days
of Helena is told by former resident
of that city, now of this. It serves to
show, says the Washington Post, that
the age of promotion" is not as young
as is pictured by later date savants.
1t was in the early '70's, when Hele-
ma was one of the banner placer min
ing camps of the west and gold was be-
ing washed by hundreds of men from
the sands of Last Chance gulch (now
Main street,. Bullock wanted fancy
drink and did not care to remunerate
the bartender with a fancy price in
lieu, so he evolved a plan which
worked to perfection.
Entering the saloon, Bullock said:
&C. I'll tell you what let's do.
If you will furnish the sherry, I'll fur
nish the fresh eggs, and we will mix
up drink that is out of sight"
AS eggs were worth two dollars a
dozen, the liquor man decided that it
was good bargain, although wine was
sold at a stiff figure in those days.
Then Bullock went into the grocery
nearby and said to the proprietor:
W, if you will furnish the eggs,
I'll furnish the sherry and we will have
something worth while in the line of
fancy drinks"
The grocer agreed to furnish the
eggs and a few minutes later both en-
tered the liquor house. The concoc-
ton was duly prepared and the three
began to absorb it.
AS Seth swallowed his share, an
idea struck the bartender.
SAY" demanded he, turning upon
Seth, where do you come in on this
game anyway? W has furnished
the eggs and l have supplied the liquor.
How do you get in?"
ooh, I'm the promoter" replied Bull
lock with smile
There was nothing left to say.

Master of the Kings Music.

Many good stories are told of Sir
Walter Parratt, the master of music
for King Edward, of England. Here
is one illustrative of his extraordinary
memory. Some eight or ten men were
assembled one evening in one of the
lodges attached to st. Michael's col
lege, Tenbury. Sir Walter Parratt and
Herr Won Hoist played in turn upon the
piano such music as was asked for.
This went on for some time, until at
last the chessboard was brought out.
Sir Walter then proposed to play two
men at chess in consultation, still re-
naming at the piano and playing from
memory what was demanded, either
from Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin
or Mendelssohn. Without even a
glance at the chessboard he won the
game in an hour.-Good Literatur9

LONGING.

Somehow they amt no music
That can cheer an make me grin,
Fer / long to leaye the city;
An I wanter go agin
Farm out into the country
Where the clover blossoms blow;
They amt nothin' in the country
That my soul don't want an know.
I was brung up 'mongst the cattle,
'Mongst the colts an little chicks,
And the slopin' of the medders,
And the singin' of the crickS,
An the clackin of the windmill,
And the gurglin' overflow
OF the water, an I'm longin
For to hear the cattle low.
An / long to bed the horses
An to pet 'em in their stalls,
An to stand a while an listen
To the nightbirds' quav'rin' calls,
An to see the moon rise slowly
'Bove the graveyard on the hill,
To the mournful calm, calm
OF the distant whippoorwill.
F l had been born in a dungeon,
An had never seen the sky,
I would see the fields in fancy,
An the clouds a-sailin' high;
An I'd hear the country calm
To my soul between the bars
An I'd see the moon a-riSin',
An I'd see the blinlin' stars.
I would like to shake the lantern
Till the light went out once more,
Then to go inside an hang it
On the peg behind the door;
Then set just outside the parlor
An keep still as anything
Like | used 10, and to listen
Just to hear my mother sing.

haps, the best trimming for this fabric
An accordion-plaited ball frock looks
charming when the wearer enters the
room, but it soon degenerates into a
rag" Therefore, l say that the &C
contemplated frock is best for restau-
rant dining, afternoon and carriage wear,
and for home dinner wear, but is I'M
profitable as gown in which to take
hard exercise. Once the accordion
plating is dragged out of place, the frock
requires remaking. know that the &C.
contemplated gown is delightful for
girl, and it can be obtained at a very rea-
sonable price, but it is useless to shut
our eyes to thafailure of the accordion
plated frock for dancing.
Far more serviceable is the frock of
taffeta or satin-messaline, which is so
in all white or some pale color is really
very effective, and I do not know of any
cheaper purchase for the girl on her own
allowance. To begin with, these orr
entail satins can, of course, run up to al
most any price, but they can also be pro-
cured, of good quality, at small outlay,
lined with muslin; these wash and clean
beautifully. The best way to make such
a frock for dancing is with skirt just
to touch the ground all round, with an
inner frill to give the necessary stiffness

when mixed with vivid pink. We have
tired of green, I think, as well as of

!. KNIGHT COMMANDER SUNK
How the Russians Destroyed British
f D. TIKI Merchantmen, -

u -s.ga
How the Russians Destroyed British
= T. Merchantmen. ~
Yokohama, July 26.-Captain Brown
Of the steamship Tsinan, which
brought the crew of the steamer
knight Commander into port Monday,
says that the knight Commander met
three Russian warships at 1880 on Sat-
urday morning off the Province LEU.
The Russian officers who boarded the
knight Commander took her captain
back with them and ordered the crew
Of the Knight Commander to come on
board one of the Russian warships
within ten minutes. The Russians
then sank the knight Commander.
At 3 o'clock In the afternoon the
Russian vessel met the ,Tsinan and
transferred the crew Of the Knight
Commander to this vessel. An In
dian boatswain Of the knight Com
mander; says the Russians boosted
that besides sinking the knight
Commander and hating the Tsinan
they also sank two small Japa-
nese vessels and captured a German
steamer, believed to be the Arabia,
Portland, Ore, for Hongkong, belong
ing to the Hahburg-American line, and
the Cheltenham, British vessel. The
Russians claimed to have plenty of
coal.
The sinking of the knight Com
mander without a trial is considered
here to be an act of sayagery, and as
afe'dng grounds for apprehension as
to the treatment by the Russians Of
other neutral vessels.

COTTON MILLS CLOSED
MORE THAN THIRTY THOUSAND
OPERATIVES ON STRIKE At
FALL RIVER, MASS.

Fill River, Mass, July 25.IThe
strike order issued by the Fall River
textile council calling for upwards Of
$4,000 operatives to remain away from
the mills in protest against a reduc-
ton of 1214 per cent in wages became
effective during the day. In the eighty
one mills involved il the agreement
to reduce wages it is estimated that
not more than 800 entered the gates
and before o'clock practically every
mill; involved in the trouble had shut
down. The strikers, who in some in
sta1ces had assembled near the mills,
dispersed quietly. The only mill hav-
ing more than score of employees
reacy for work was the Bourne, where
over 100 weavers had gone in.
Both sides admit that this is the be-
ginning of one of the most determined
contests which Fall River has ever
seen: The manufacturers maintain
that they have tried every plan which
they could think of to avoid a reduc-
ton in wages and took that final step
only when driven to do SO to save their
business. On the other hand the op-
eratives say that the conditions affect
ing cotton manufacture here did not
warrant such a reduction.
The companies involved in the strike
operate eighty-one mills, with about
3,250,000 spindles, and a weekly prod
uct, when running in full, of more than
900,000,000 yards of cloth.

CRUISERS CALLED OFF.
Russia Will Not Arrest Any More
Merchantmen.

0uSs'a VIII MOT Attest Any Wore
Merchantmen.
ST. Petersburg, July 23.-The Asso-
clated Press is able to announce that
Russia has informally notified Great
Britain that orders have been issued
to the Russian cruisers in the Red
sea not to arrest any more merchant
men and it has been agreed between
the two powers that if, pending the
receipt of these orders by the captains
OF the st. Petersburg and the Smo1-
ensk, any other ships should be stop
ped and held as prizes these acts shall
be regarded as not having taken place
and The ships concerned at once re-
leased.
While not admitting the Illegally
OF the Russian action in converting
vessels Of the volunteer feet into war
ships after they had reached the Red
sea, It is probable, in view of the fact
that neutral ships did not receive pre-
vious notice, that Russia, in order to
remove the shadow of cloud upon
their right to fly the war flag, will
formally notify the powers Of their
conversion into warships, thus putting
all neutrals upon their guard.
In the meantime all the ships seized
will be released unless the captains
refus e to show their manifests, in
which event the procedure in the case
Of the Malacca probably will be fol-
lowed.
