POSITIONS FOUND FOR ALL
Ingenious Scheme of Philanthropist
That Worked Well for All
Parties Concerned.

After the civil war many freedmen
were sent a'om the southern states to
the north to find employment, and ex-
actly how to aid them was often quite
difficult problem In one case, for
example, a Boston clergyman found
himself responsible for the welfare OF
30 negro women, coming by boat from
Virginia. Time was passing, and he
did not know where he could put
them. On the day before the steamer
was due he CHANGED to meet the late
Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale on the
street
To him he told his story. Dr. Hale
looked puzzled. I'm sure don't
know what to suggest" he said. Il
could give you five dollars, but that
wouldn't do much good. Let me
think
Finally this scheme was evolved. 1t
was decided to insert an advertise
ment in one of the local newspapers
to the effect that 30 cooks were COM
ing from Virginia DR.. Hale, who
doubtless was aware of the domestic
troubles of the Boston ladies, went
away smiling, and the other posted off
to the office of the Transcript
The next day Mr. Hale left town for
his summer vacation, and it was not
till fall that he heard the outcome of
his experiment. On his return he
found letter from the clergyman
awaiting him.
Thirty carriages were at the wharf
when the boat came in it said, land
all the cooks are satisfactory =

Happiness and Progress.

Happiness is the only possible good
and all that tends to the happiness OF
man is right, and is of value. All that
tends to develop the bodies and minds
of men; all that gives us better
houses, better clothes, better food.
better pictures, grander music. better
heads, better hearts, all that renders
us more intellectual and mo~ loving,
nearer just; that makes us better
husbands and wives, better children,
better citizens-all these things COM

WEDNESDAY, DEC. IA, 1910.
POPULATION OF MONTANA.

The estimate that Montana is q state
of about A00,0 900 people proves to be
approximately correct. The census
bureau announces that on April Is of
the present year it's Official enumer-
ators listed 376,053 residents in Mon
tana, but It is known to q certainty
that . large number OF citizens we're
missed by the federal census men.
These numerous omissions, together
with the large number OF newcomers
who have established homes In Mon.
tsna since last April, warrant the be-
lief that the population Of the Treas
ure state ct the present time is 400. 900
or more.
The Official census returns, however,
will govern in all matters in which
population is q factor, and the figures
announced by Director Durand will
be accepted as indicating the growth
and development of Montana. Here
are the federal census figures for the
state, since Montana became an or.
ganized commonwealth:

Strange as It May Seem, They Welsh

The first lot of all steel suburban
coaches built for the Pennsylvania
Railroad company has just been re-

New York. where they will be used in
the suburban service out Of the new

The new all steel suburban coaches

which have been used the weight of

dead weight for each passenger. while
the new steel suburban coach carries
only 1918 pounds Of dead weight per
passenger.
The suburban coaches have vestibule
ends and are made entirely areproof.
Heavy steel girders running from end
to end are calculated to resist any
shock in collision.

will shortly have available for use on
its lines east and west Of Pittsbure

OUR NEXT SENATOR.

Although the Montana senatorial
question is probably the political topic
OF greatest interest to citizens of this
state at the present time, it is being
given scant attention by the demo.
cratic newspapers of the common
wealth. They show q disposition to
discuss British politics or any other
proposition in which residents of
Montana have little concern. but the
choice OF q statesman to assist in rep.
r~esenting Montana in the United
States senate for elk years is not con.
sidered . sufficiently live subject for
comment.
Who will be the next sen ator from
Montana? The political complexion
Of the twelfth assembly indicates that
he will be Of the democratic faith, but
further than that the public awaits in.
formation from democratic sources %
to probabilities.

The county Of Yellowstone appears
to have made the greatest growth in
population since the federal census OF
1900, but other counties also make q
remarkably good showing. Madison
and Granite are the only counties
showing q decrease In the number Of
their residents.
In the federal census exhibit for
1910 Montana stands ahead of Utah,
Vermont and the District OF Columbia,
which led her ten years ego. In the
1910 census Montana stands Al in the
list of states, territories and posses.
clone. Ten years ago her number was
Al. Behind her, besides the two states
and the District OF Columbia, already
named, come New Mexico, Idaho,
Arizona. Delaware, Hawaii, Wyo,
ming, Nevada and Alaska, in the order
named. Nine states have had q great,
er percentage of growth during the
last ten years than Montana. These
are Arizona, California, Idaho, New
ada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon

Election Contests in Silver Bow.

BUTTE, Dec. lit used to be 80
q man had to spend q years SAL
ary to be elected to Office in Silver
Bow county; now it looks IS If he
would have to give the lawyers the
best of the pay for the term In order
to get in after being elected. The
democrats have instituted four more
election contests. Ella Crowley wants
the Office to which Mamie Burt. repub-
lican, was elected. Joe McGovern
wants to take the place OF Gus Strom-
me, county commissioner-elect, and
j. j. Griffin wants to keep out Jesse
p. Stevens, coroner-elect. Miss Burt
had lao plurality, Stromme 443 and
Stevens 545.
The other contest is that Of John
Nj cGinniss, the only democrat beaten
on the legislative ticket, against Harry
II. Stevens, the only republican elect
ed. Stevens led Mace inniss by 10s
votes. The grounds Of contest are
that In the precincts where machines
were used, the judges did not coun'
from 10 to 20 votes each for the demo
cratic candid ates, as they should have
done. 1t is asked that one republican
precinct be thrown out because the re-
turns we're not regularly signed. Th,
machines have been In charge of thu

CUCUMBER CROP IS SHORT.
Consequently American Pickle Supply
10 Shrinking.

consequently american SsckIe supply
Is Shrinking.
The pickle crop for 1910 is all in
and will not average a half yield for
the entire country.
Fifty thousand acres are contracted
for annually by the picking factories
in this country, principally in the states
of Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa.
Wisconsin and Minnesota. Owing to
drought a large percentage Of the seed
did not terminate. and in no section
did the crop produce an average yield.
The loss will fall ON the farmers. as
they get Il stipulated price per bushel
or pound for cucumbers, with no in
crease in price to compensate for de-
creased yields.
Owing to shortage in fruits and
vegetables there has been an enormous
increase in the consumption Of picked
products, and it is said there will not
be enough to supply the ordinary
wants Of the retail dealers.
The cucumber crop in Europe and
Canada is also a failure. and foreign
ers are seeking a supply in this coun,
try.

WOMEN LEAD REGIMENTS
IN THE GERMAN ARMY.
The Emperor's Sister and Daughter
Often Don Uniform.

German Socialist newspapers note a
striking contrast between Emperor
williams pronouncement that won.
en- should stay at home and look after
the house, and the actual practice en-
couraged by him for his sister and his
daughter, who ON all possible occa.
sions are invited to don the uniform
Of some regiment or other and lead it
past for the e~mperor's inspection.
The empress herself, as is we'll
known, has no ambition to exhibit her
self in uniform. She Is chief Of a
regiment Of fusiliers. yet the nearest
she usually gets to wearing anything
like a uniform is the putting on at
special military festivals Of a very
pretty costume made something like
the uniform Of ~cuirassiers. with a
white felt hat not unlike an old fash.
toned infantry cap Of Frederick's
time, but having a large bunch of
dropping ostrich feathers to give It a
feminine touch.
Grown Princess Cecilie, on the other
hand, delights in reg1mental uniform
and willingly obeys the emperor's or
der to appear at the head Of the dra.
COON regiment garrisoned on her hus-
bands big country estate at Gels.
Princess Eitel Frederick, chief Of q
regiment of dragons, dislikes the uni
form. 1t Is whispered in Berlin court
circles that the empress and crown
princess do not get on 50 we'll togeth-
er, to put 1t politely, as do the empress
and Princess Eitel. whose domestic
tastes are very similar.
BY far the handsomest feminine fg-
ure in German military uniform is the
czarina Of Russia. formerly Princess
Alix Of Hesse. who is the chief Of the
Second Prussian dragon guards. Her

Princess Louise Victoria, Emperor
Williams daughter, has been appoint
ed head Of the life hussars and ap-
peared in their uniform at 'Danzig the
other day.
OF the emperor's other kinswomen
who wear uniforms the prettiest Ger
tainly Is Princess Victoria Of schaum-
burg-Lippe. n Of the emperor's four
sisters, chief Of the Fifth infantry.
Like Princess Frederick Charles Of
Hesse. the emperor's youngest sister,
who Is chief of a regiment Of Hessian
fusiliers, she wears the helmet and
coat of an ordinary Prussian officer
with a peculiar grace.

The so.called leading democratic
newspapers of the state are be mum
as oysters regarding the choice Of
their party for United States senator.
The Hon. T. J. Walsh, of Helena,
considered by many Montana demo.
Gratis as the best senatorial timber in
their party, is not recognized as euch
by his home organ, the Helena Inde-
pendent. In western Montana, the
Anaconda STANDARD, supposed to be
the mouth.piece Of corporate interests
that control the democratic organiza.
ton, has nothing to cay on the eena.
torial question. The Butte Miner, the
personal organ of W. A. Clark, is
discussing all kinds of subjects on its
editorial page, but appears to have
overlooked the fact that . United
States senator should be elected BY
the next legislative assembly.
An exception to this policy Of si.
lence regarding the senatorial ques-
ton appears in the democratic Great
Falls Tribune, q recent editorial in
that newspaper strongly endorsing
Hon. w. G. Conrad, of northern
Montana, for senatorial honors. APP
preciating the good intentions of It's

ANDY coAKLEY BLACKLISTED

Cincinnati. O., Sept. 1i.-Pitcher An
dy Coakley. formerly of the Chicago
Nationals, Louisville, Elmira, N. "
and other professional baseball teams,
was today placed on the ineligible list
of organized baseball by the national
commission.
The ban is extended TO include the
Patterson. n. j., team, of which Coax
ley is member. This action followed
complaints that the New York Ameri-
can and National league teams had
played exhibition games with Patter-
son, an examination of the records
showing that Coakley had been sus-
pended by the National Association of
Minor League clubs. Whether he will
be restored To good standing Is for this
body 10. decide, according to todays
findings.
