Warm-Hearted Mime. Sarah

That Nine. Sarah Bernhardt is not only
a woman Of surprising histrionic genius
but also woman who possesses her very
human side. is shown by the innumer-
able stories told Of her timely aid
OF struggling actors and others who owe
large debts of gratitude to her warm
hearted generosity.
A most interesting sideIight upon the
great actress as a socialist is given by
Nine. Montefiore, who recently inter-
viewed her and who speaks thus OF the
interview:
when her secretary had summoned me
to the small, Overheated dressing room
where the frail-looking. vibrating woman
wrapped in fleecy shawls and rugs to
save her from a chill after her supreme
effort sat waiting to answer my questions,
found In the great actress a comrade in
heart in the socialistic movement, a SYM
pathfzer who feels and vibrates with the
great economic and social changes about
to come into the world.
"'I am first and foremost a republican
she said. I ave nothing to say AGAINST
crowned heads when l visit a country
where monarchy is establ shed. but 1t
seems to me that the business OF kings
and queens at the present moment Is
"a triste metier.'"

Enumeration of Alleged Faults

IT seems to me that the time has coma
to put stop to this .aore or Tess bril-
liant now Of criticism of the poor .corn.r.
Men have always had plenty az onire
tfons to make to the remaIe chal..rrar
It's garrulousness. its vanity is lack or
logic. its eagerness to pleas, Its n sin
cerity. and goodness knows viz. not
But, after all. is it. then, the faul OF
woman! Nature has not endowed her
with all the superior qualities Of man.
II man would exert himself a little and
make use OF these superior qualities he
would soon see that he really ought to
be thankful to woman for all the trouble
she goes to for his sake. She chatters
that he may not feel lonesome or bored;
she dresses UP to please him. to give him
something beautiful to look at; she is H.
logical that she may not get into con-
nict with his logic: she tries to please.
that his male friends may envy him the
possession Of her: she is insincere be-
cause she tries to avoid telling him un-
pleasant truths. In one word, all he.
actions are dictated by the same motive
she tries to please him.
So now II man has really any sense
he will give up all this harping on wom-
ans shortcomings. for IL he does not ne
may cause her to change, and ff she
did he might find that he liked her still
less than he pretends to do now.

Toison-because DIR. Justin of Belle

with an inqulsitive stomach pump with
out finding even a trace Of the morphine
that is alleged to have been the chem
ical basis of the suicidal attempt.
Senger staggered by Policeman Allen
early to-day at Lewis and Stanton
streets. Then he turned and addressed
the policeman in this fashion:
Il have taken poison and I am sick.
] an "A drug clerk and I nave taken
morphine"
The policeman wanted TO get an am
bulsnce. but SenSer said he had better
go to the station. So they walked
around to the Union Market station.
where Lieut.. Butler was presiding at
the desk.
Il have taken enough morphine to

new EQUIPMENT FOR
THE DEMOCRAT OFFICE
NEW PRESS OF LATEST DESIGN
BEING INSTALLED THE
PRESENT WEEK.,

In accordance with it's policy of
keeping strictly up to date in every
particular, the Democrat is, this week,
installing big. new newspaper and
job printing press. The old press is
still a good one, but is hardly fast
enough to meet the requirements of
a rapidly growing circulation and in
creased demands of our patrons for
big orders of the finest job work.
The new press was purchased by
Business Manager Harry Kelly, who
made trip to Chicago, New York
and other eastern points for the ex-
press purpose of personally investi-
eating the claims of the various build
ers of modern printing machinery.
After looking them all over, he de-
cided upon the Premier, which is
manufactured by the Whitlock Print
ing Press company, whose factory is
at Derby, Conn, and head sales office
in New York City.
The press weighs nine tons, is al
most nOiseless in its operation, has a
capacity of six thousand impressions
per hour and will turn out three and
four color work equal to any that can
be produced in the country. 1t is the
leading press of its size in use in all
OF the big printing Offices of the east,
although this is the first one installed
in Montana office.
c. F. Edwards, of New York City,
arrived in the city Saturday afternoon
to superintend the work of putting
the press together and expects to
have it ready to run by tomorrow
night He is an expert in his line of
work and travels from one end of
the country to the other putting
presses together.
The addition of this fine press
rounds out for the Democrat office
one of the best equipped offices in
the entire state.

JOHN S. N. NELL, PROPRIETOR
OF HELENA INDEPENDENT,
PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY.

John S. NJ. Neill, proprietor Of the

ly last Friday morning at the Arling.

time during the past few years. The
reports of his condition which were
brought back were especially en-.
couraging to his brother, Henry Neill,
who resides in this city
Mr.. Neill resided in Montana for
almost 80 years. He was a native of
St. Paul, Mimi, and 50 years of age
at the time of his death. He was a
man Of high scholarly attainment and
exceptional business sagacity. He
purchased the Helena Independent in
1896 and, with the exception of two
years, has owned it ever since. The
body will arrive in Helena today and
the funeral will be held tomorrow.

.BAPTSTS ARE MATURING
PLANS FOR new CHURCH
FOR LOANS "a
vORABLY ACTED UPON
WORK STARTS SOON.

The Baptist denomination has two
methods of assisting churches to
build new edifces. One is to grant a
gift from the national gift fund, and
the other to give loans for an in
definite time on a small interest. The
national society is never exacting in
their claims on loans to any Baptist
church. 1t is, therefore, safe ac.
commodatiOn. As a rule the gift and
loan might not amount to more than
SO per cent of the entire cost of the
finished structure.
At the annual meeting of the local
Baptist church an application was
made for a gift to assist in the build.
ing of a new Baptist church for Lew
istown. Last Saturday dispatch was
received by. DR.. Thos. NJ. Patterson
from. the general superintendent of
missions, DIR. D. D. Proper, of Omaha.
Neb., stating that the gift had been
granted.
The next step to be taken by the
church will be to ask for loan from
the Home Mission society Of New
York City. When the loan is granted
the way will be open to begin the
erection Of the new building on the
corner of Sixth avenue and Washing
ton street.
