Shook to Benevolent Desires


 A benevolent neighbor of ours is sometimes put to 1t to decide whether her good intentions do not cause quite as much trouble as they cure. The other day she was visiting in tho tene- ment of a very poor family, in whose wretched home she found litter of puppies better cared for than the chill dren, and a basketful of kittens ab- sorbing the attention which might have been profitably devoted to the mopping of the floor. While meditating how she could best offer some gift of money which might be wisely applied to inn mediate necessities, the eldest daughter of the one-room homo abruptly askedi Say, Mrs. x, wouldn't you like to buy two of these puppies? You can have them for $4." Glad of an opportunity to contribute the $4 to a household where 1t was evidently much needed, she was opening her purse, when she thought to inquire: Mary. what will you do with the $4 if I give 1t to youT' | ''Pay the dog tax on the rest of the puppies" was the prompt but unex- pected reply. The problem of poverty is not how to get money to the hand of the poor, but how to get 1t to stay thera.

Well, good luck to you and your tin- ware," I said, pulling and eating the berries within reach.

City, during his recent visit to Ameri- ca he said:
 This is unquestionably the finest hospital in the world. There is none to equal it in London, which brides itself on its hospitals above everything else. The buildings are better adapt ed for hospital purposes than any that l have seen, and the equipment is mag nificent. You give to the poor pa tients luxuries and medical comforts which the rich cannot purchase in Lon- don. It is all magnificent-wonder full! There is nothing like 1t any where"
 Foreign visitors to America some times say that the struggle for success is keener and more cruel here than any where else-that life Is strenu- ous race with leach man for himself. and the devil take the hind most But there is no country on earth where the man who is down and out" Is more carefully and kindly looked after. Paul pers dependent upon'the municipalities are far better treated in America than in any European country, and their cost to the taxpayers per head is much higher. They have all the comforts | they need to make life endurable, and | they are even given a good many luxu- ries that would make the Old World 1 Bumbles lift up their hands in horror. | Yet the number of paupers in the l United States Is comparatively small when compared with that of European countries. According to the last re- turns they numbered 73,045, of whom 5S.44 per cent. were of foreign extrac- tion.

If contamination could tse establish ed with Mars and a big bundle of American newspapers and magazines sent up tn ere, the intelligent Martians- reading them, might well exclaim:
 "why these people must be- rotten to the core!"
 The harsh judgment would be par donable, for the Martians would come across graft" stories by the dozen and the score-stories of graft" in politics. graft" in business, graft" in indus try, graft" everywhere. No doubt the search1ight of publicity is desirable and necessary, but a searchlight blinds the eye to everything except the ob- ject upon which it is directed. And there is a great deal in America be- sides ''graft.'' Why not look, for once. upon the bright side of the shield?
 "A materialistic and corrupt nation" That was how America was summed up the other day by writer in the sTaturday Review" most anti-Ameri- can, of all English periodicals.
 Materialistic? No people on earth do more, or stand ready to do more. for good works that are not material. Let a man bring forward any scheme for the uplifting of his kind and dem onstrate it's claim to public support and he will get the money and help he needs more readily in America than anywhere else. No people on earth spend anything like so much money as the Americans do for charities. eduoa- tion, hospitals, parks, libraries, church. es and other good works.
 Materialistic? The most striking protest against materialism in the world to-day is being made in America. It is the erection of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New Tory City the largest religious edifice to be started since the middle ages, when thousands of zealots worked their lives away rearing Europe's famous cathed- rals."
 No other modern people has had the splendid audacity to plan and start g. work that in time will bear compari- son with the mighty fanes of Rouen. Ely and Cologne. So-called cathed- rals are being run up all over the world. but they are merely skorified churches. This is to be a real c@thed- ral of the old kind It will prshahv take two or three generations to build. at a cost of anywhere from fifty to seventy-five millions; but after every other building in New York has beer replaced. it will stand for centuries.

Chairman George on Prospects for
New Party.

After settling up some business af-
fairs here, w. B. George, state chair
man of the new political party, will
take to the road for the purpose of
organizing in each of the several eoun-
ties of the state. After an organiza-
ton is perfected in all the counties
Mr. George will then go to Butte TO
open general headquarters.
In speaking of the prospects for
success of the new party movement,
Mr.. George stated to The Gazette that
everything at this time looked en-
couraging for next fall. He said that
the organization thus far had been
handicapped for the lack of state
daily newspaper through which to de-
fine the position of the advocates of the
anti-corporatlon party, but with the
appearance of the Butte Daily News,
the new paper to beAaunched at Butte
next month, Mr.. George is confident
that the movement will be aided very
materially.

IS BECOMING MIXED.
New Complications Arise in Rosebor-
ough Bankruptcy Case.

OuSu 0dtNTOpsSy SdoSs
Settlement of the estate of Alden
L. Roseborough, recently adjudged a
bankrupt, promises to give rise to
many complications and, perhaps,
some costly litigation.
Roseborough resides at Gardiner
and until he went into voluntary
bankruptcy was engaged in business
there, conducting a hotel and con-
tracing, as well as freighting. Sew
eral of his creditors proceeded to Sc
cure attachments on his property, a
fact that caused him to avail himself
of the bankruptcy act, being desirous
of protecting all to whom he was in
debted. The first proceedings were
then dismissed and all the creditors
filed their claims with Referee Firth
in this city. At the first meeting
considerable feeling was displayed, the
charge being made that RosebOrough
had not scheduled all Of his properly
subject to seizure, plt vas nodlng
some back for the purpose of fraud.
A trustee was appointed, also cou-
pie of appraisers to fix the value OF
the estate.
Among the claims submitted to the
referee was one by Oscar Otto Rose
borough, brother Of the bankrupt,
who alleged that the estate was in
debted to him to the extent of $6S.25,
for work said to have been performed
last December. Objection to allow,
ing the claim was made and the bill
was held subject to further action by
Mr.. Firth. Now he has been formally
notified by the attorneys for the other
creditors that they will contest the
claim, going to the extent gf taking it
into court, if necessary. On top of this
another matter has arisen to still
further complicate things.
The trustee, R. #. Warren Of Gar
diner, has written a letter to Mr..
Firth asking his advice as to the seiz-
ure Of certain chattels. Some of these
are claimed by the bankrupt as ex-
empt; some, a piano and other things,
are claimed by his wife as her per-
sonal property, while still Others, q
number Of horses, are claimed by the
brother. The trustee wants to know
whether he should possess himself OF
the disputed property and hold it.,
requiring the bankrupt to prove his
exemptions, or whether to permit it
to remain in the hands now holding
it.
Flavor is given to the inquiry by
the trustees declaration that it is
generally accepted thereabouts that
the transfers were made by Rose
borough to defraud his creditors, al
though we may not be able to prove
it," he adds Besides the property
already recounted, the letter says that
there is some cash in the. register used
by Roseborough and that he has
money coming to him as die from a
sawmill for logs supplied.
Mr.. Frith's advice to the ambitious
trustee was forwarded yesterday He
was told to take only such property
as he could find in the actual posses.
SION Of the bankrupt and if there
was more that the creditors believed
they should have the benefit Of. the
only recourse open to them was
through an. action in the courts, when
they would be given the opportunity
to prove the fraudulent transfers al
legged to have been made.
