lose several pounds of his shape since
it was presented to him yesterday morn

paid his evening call on Central, by
announcing IN chest tones that he was
policeman, with all the majesty of
the law enveloping him and tapping
over, which was going some even for

terror into the hearts of his hearers,
Sonny patterammed the door, as has

GOLD OR NEAR-GOLD.

An interesting question has devel-
oped in connection with the decora
ton of the new public library. build
ing in New York City The ceilings
In the main room are to be gilt in
their main decorative scheme and an
appropriation of $4,000 was made for
the genuine leaf gold with which the
ceilings were to be coated There is q
Gilders' union in New York and it's
secretary was instructed to watch the
work on the library ceiling Why this
precaution was taken does not appear
in the story that comes west, but the
secretary did the work and watched to
such good advantage that he discov-
cred that the leaf metal used on the
ceilings was not gold at all but base
worth $4,000.
The secretary of the union, having
ascertained these facts, made an affi-
davit to that effect and the matter
was brought to the attention of the
authorities. This led to a summary
denial Of the contractors and to an
explanation. The contractors admit
ted that the leaf metal which they
had put on the ceilings was not pure
gold as demanded by the specifica-
tions, but they explained that the base
metal was used only as a foundation
or grounding for the coating with
pure gold, which will be done later.
This explanation seems to satisfy the
city authorities, but many persons are
wondering whether the ceilings in the
public library would ever have been
coated with pure gold had it not been
for the secretary of the Gilders' union

AN OBLIGlNG PRESIDENT.

During short-lived revolution
there came to be the head of the gov
ernment in a little Central American
republic a man who was above all
things courteous. and who was. more
over very anxious to gain the good
will of the foreign consuls. One of
the latter, having heard that a GER
tain countryman of his had died, ad-
dressed a note to the new government,
in which he stated that his own gov
ernment would be grateful for a GER
tificate of death of the individual in
question. A few days later the consul
received the following communication:
Esteemed Senior-I blush to say
that I cannot at present comply with
your excellency's request for a death
certificate of the man named. T sent
my soldiers, but he got away, to my
shame. I shall use ever effort to
catch him. however, and hope to send
your excellency the desired certificate
at an early date
Needless to say the consul lost no
time in communicating to the oblig-
ing president the information that the
certificate was undesired, in view Of
the fact that the individual was able
to "get away. ."-Harper's Weekly.

OFFICIALS INSPECT
NEW DISTRICT
PREPARATIONS BEING MADE TO
ADD PARADISE LINE TO
IDAHO DIVISION.

Superintendent A. Beamer and his
confidential clerk, Ben H. Walker of
the Idaho division of the Northern
Pacific arrived in Paradise early yes
terday morning and spent the day in
the Paradise yards inspecting terminal
conditions at that place and making
preparations for the operation of the
new district between Paradise and
Trout Creek by the Idaho officials The
change of operation is scheduled to
take place on May /, and two of the
Rocky Mountain division dispatchers
have been assigned to service on the
new district beginning on that date
They are B. b. Johnson, who has been
In Missoula for the past year, and A.
Il. workman, more recent arrival
Both men are dispatchers of more than
ordinary ability and their going to the
adjoining division is regretted by the
local officials. However. the deflec-
ton of Johnson and Workman to the
western division will still leave Chief
Dispatcher ShoWalter with a full COM
pliment of dispatchers to handle the
districts to be worked out of Mis-
soula.
The new dispatching district will be
from Paradise to Standpoint or, more
properly speaking, Kootenay, which is
to be the west end of the new division
when the final cut is made At Koo-
tenay the company has erected all of
its terminal buildings and has en-
countered many difficulties in the way
of construction. The roundhouse at
kootenay is reported to have caused
the officials a great deal of alarm from
time to time on account of the ex-
traordinary degree to which the struc-
ture has settled in one particular por-
ton. 1t is understood that the build
ing was built on an old quicksand bed
and as consequence it has been ex-
tremely difficult to secure a solid
foundation. Even now the officials
are reticent about naming a date
when the roundhouse can be made
ready for operation. Other buildings
at Kootenay are said to be ready for
service.

THE GIBSON GIRLS.

The last of the Gibson girls is to
become a bride this month She has
won an English husband, but he is
not titled fellow so he is probably
as good as the average young Ameri =
can; he is an architect and is said Ia
be good one, so this match is not
both sides of the ocean.
OF all recent American families of
prominence none has enjoyed greater
renown for good looks and social sue
cesses than the five daughters II
Colonel Chiswell Langhorne of Char
lottesville, Va. The father of this
family, Colonel I.anghorne. is a dis
tinguished looking southern gentleman
of the old school. He gave to his
daughters good education and thus
fitted them for the high social posi-
tions to which their pedigree and their
unusual beauty entitled them.
The eldest Of the five Langhorne
sisters. Elizabeth, made her debut in
society about fifteen years ago and at
once established her reputation as a
remarkable beauty. 1t was not long
before she was captured and became
the wife of T. Moncure Perkins,
member of a conspicuous Virginia
family which enjoyed well established
social relations with the society of
Philadelphia and New York.
A few years later charles Dana

illustrator and as the creator of an

PAT DONOVAN.

Pat Donovan was type that is
rapidly passing. In Ireland there are
remaining but few such Irshmen as
he and in America there are but a
few left of the old guard of pioneers
of whom he was a representative He
was a good friend and a relentless
enemy. If he liked a man he liked
him and that was all there was to
it; If he disliked man, the situation
was unqualified. Before some of us
of the present generation were born,
Pat Donovan was holding down his
claim in He'll Gate canyon. He was
Industrious but he was not acqus-
tive; he lived along, fighting his own
battles and minding his own busi-
ness. He was able. through the rail-
way development of recent years to
get together a snug sum of money
that enabled him to live in the city
during the last years of his life. He
enjoyed the new environment with all
the pleasure Of child in q new toy
He formed some new friendships but
not many: the old friends were good
enough for him. But he was not a
bad man; there are worse citizens
than he, many of them.

YELLOW CAR TRAVELS
EASTWARD
CHIEF ENGINEER PEARSON CON-
TlNUES HIS INSPECTION OF
THE NEW ROAD.

Yesterday morning at o'clock a
Milwaukee special went east over the
| tracks of the new line, having on
board Chief Engineer Pearson and
Superintendent Harding of the bridge
and building department, together with
officers of the local division. Division
Engineer Dauchy Assistant Engineer
Davisson and Contractor Stevens were
also Of the party. The trip was mado
for the purpose of inspecting the line
and was pleasant and profitable.
The run was as far as Drummond,
where the party crossed to the North
ern Pacific, it being necessary for Mr.
Pearson and Mr.. Harding to return on
No. to Seattle. Mr.. Dauchy and Mr.
Davsson came with them as far as
Missoula. The other members of the
party went on to Deer Lodge to look
after the work there.
With the exception of such portions
of the Milwaukee line as are yet oc-
cupied by the tracks of the Northern
Pacific which were built after the flood
last summer and which have not been
vacated, the tracks are ready for the
ballast all the way through The
Northern Pacific is moving to it's own
right Of way this week and has made
some of the more important changes;
others will follow at once. When the
N. p. vacates entirely, there will be
nothing in the way of the speedy COM
pletion of the Milwaukee line.
A trip over the new line is extreme
ly interesting and affords an excel
lent idea of the extensive work that
the Milwaukee has accomplished in
getting its road finished The route
to Garrison UP the river is pleasing
and the location Of the track is well
made. Everything points to the reali-
cation of the plans Of the new com
pany to have trains running between
Deer Lodge and Missoula at an early
date.
Mr.. Pearson went carefully into con-
ditions. Stops were made where
ever 1t was considered necessary and
the work was thoroughly inspected.
A visit was made to the new tunnel
at the Clark dam; the Beavertail tun-
mel at Bonita was inspected; the MINI
rod tunnel, which is now being lined.
was carefully looked over. There were
also stops at other points along the
road The trip was made in good time
and 1t will not be long before the yell
low cars are running regularly up and
down the canyon.

FAMOUS CHARACTER
PASSES AWAY
FORMER UNITED STATES SEN.
ATOR w. A. STEWART OF Me-
VADA DIES AT CAPITAL.

Washington, April 23. - Former
United States Senator William A.
Stewart of Nevada died at the George
town hospital here today, following an
| operation. The body will be taken to
Nevada Sunday.
Mr.. Stewart was 81 years old, and
has been a familiar figure in this city
during the better part of the last CEN
tury. For 2S years, altogether, he rep
resented Nevada in the senate, lapse
between 1876 and 1887 intervening to
prevent a continuous record from 1855
to 1905.
Stewart Castle" his former home
on DUPONT circle in this city, was
long one of the landmarks of the ma
tional capital, but it is today in the
center of the fashionable residence
section, bare lot with only the cell
lar excavation telling the story of the
pulling down of this historic struc-
ture. Senator William A. Clark of
Montana planned to build a palatial
structure on the site, but after the
razing of the old residence and a dis
agreement over plans, never replaced
1T and built the Clark home in New
York instead.
Senator Stewart made many notable
speeches on the floor of the senate in
advocacy of silver, and his characteri-
cation of the demonetization of silver
as "the crime of '73" Is a marker in
political history. After his retirement
from congress he divided his time be-
tween Washington, where he had
many interests during his life of
fluctuating fortune, his farm in near
by Virginia, and the west where, at
his home at Bullfrog, New, and else
where, he had varied mining inter-
ests and experiences
Most all Of the old residents of
Washington and many of the new
knew Senator Stewart either person.

COULD you BLAME HIM?

From New York comes story
which demonstrates that the spirit of
justice is not entirely dead in the En-
pire state and that there Is yet a balm
in Gilead. 1t is refreshing in these
days of strict construction of the
statutes and technical Interpretation
of the law to read a story of this
sort. A woman In Williamsburg had
her husband arrested the other day
on the charge of having failed to pro-
vide for her support When the case
came UP before the magistrate the
prisoner. who acted as his own attor-
ney maintained that he should not be
compelled to support his wife under
the circumstances. In explanation of
his argument he submitted to the
court a note which he said. his wife
had written and left for him at their
home. The note read: "Paul-Your
supper Is in the oven. | have gone

read that note he ordered the COM
planning woman out of court and dis
missed the complaint without further
