without Il proper adjustment OF the con-
trovcrsy. Willie made everywhere In
the habitablc globe, it is seldom made
properly. 1t was introduced In Paris
by Judge John u. Mason OF Virginia.

The First steamer That Piled For
Hire In Great Britnin.
Among the curlosIties of advertising
may surely be placed the first ad-
vertiscmcnt OF the first steamer that
piled for hire In Great Brit;lin-namcly,
Henry Bells Comet. Thus ran the nd
vertiscmcnt In the Glasgow Courier OF
1S12:
Steam passage boat, the Comet, be-
tween Glasgow, Greenocz and 1clens-
burg. For passengers only. The sub
scribcr having ut much expense fitted
UP handsome vessel to ply upon the
river Clyde between Glasgow and
Grccnock--to sail by the power of
wind, air and stcam-lie Intends that
the vessel shall leave the Broomelnw
on Tuesdays Thursdays and Satur-
days about midday or ut such time
thereafter as may answer from the
state of the tide and to leave Grcenocl,
on Mondays. Wednesdays and FRIDAYS
in the morning to suit the tide The
elegance. comfort, safety and speed
of this vessel require only to be proved
to meet the appreciation of the public,
and the proprietor is determined to do
everything in his power to merit public
encouragement. The terms are for the
present 4 shillings for the best cabin
md shillings for the second, but be-
yond these rates nothing is to be al
lowed to servants or any other person
employed about the vessel"
What would poor neglected Henry
Bell have said could lie have seen his
humble little Comet, Of whose elegance,
comfort and speed lie was so proud,

THE STORY OF MONTANA.

An important series of articles
dealing with the early outlaw
days and especially with the fight
between Marcus Daily and Will
liam A. Clark.
In August, McClure's begins
what is the most important and
what prom ises to be a most in
teresting series of articles of this
magazine year, THE Story Of
Montana" by G. P. Connolly.
The history of Montana bristles
with picturesque and dramatic
incidents, and is characterized by
almost every human quality, good
and bad; it's actors, all kinds and
types of people, the best and the
worst. Heretofore the public has
had only fragmentary accounts
of the most sensational events.
Of the rugged and powerful per-
sonalities, of the stirring battles,
the passionate motives-lust of
gold, hate, ambition, revenge-in
word of the great melodrama
behind the few surface facts, the
public has known nothing. In
Mr.. Connolly's series of articles
this real story of Montana will he
told. 1t will have almost the
personal quality of "reminiscences
for Mr.. Connolly was himself an
eyewitness of much that he
chronicles-especially in the early
history of the State-and what
he did not see he writes from live
accounts given him by men who
we're present. He has been q
resident of Montana for over
twenty years and was for a term
prosecuting attorney of Silverbow
county, in which the city of Butte
is situated. His will be a nara
tive of fact, written accurately
and impartially.
THE Story of Montana" is in
large part the story of the great
struggle between the States two
big men, Marcus Daily and Will
liam A. Clark, which began in
the early '90's and was waged not
only in the field of business, but
in politics as we'll; a long drawn
out contest that for the almost
Machiavellian cleverness of it's
participants, the virulence OF
their hatred and the violence OF
their methods, has become really
historic, ending only last yeaI
with the compromise of legal and
political difference between F. A.
Heinze, the inheritor of Clark Is
side of the fight, and the Anal.
