SWEAT SHOP SLAVERY. Low Wages tho Source of Increasing Immorality. Low wages is the source of the largest share of immorality. It is so easy to talk platitudes when you've had a good dinner and sit comfortably clothed and warm in your snug room. But think ot youth and fresh girlhood fading dav after day in the dim precincts of factory and sweatshop; think of every hope slowly dying, ol the want und despair and pinching out of all the meagre gray days. And side by side "with this terrible existence place the temptations that always come to poor youth and to poor girlhood. How ninny of us who are better off would keep to the straight and narrow path were we in n like case, while the broad highway on which lie the pleasures aud luxuries ot life shines so near. Bnt on that way lies sin! Well, when the he.-rt and brain aro dulled to apathy, tho conscience is nut apt to be very sensitive When want of decent food, of clothing and I.eat, and the common necessities assail one, when honest toil will not bring honest wage, it tnkes a very strong sou! to keep on thnt narrow, grim wny, And we are only human. A great and ten 1* ble account will he laid at the doors of the masters in trade when the summing np time comes lor us all. The traffic of llu: fiictoti is and sweatshops is as much a traffic-lnR in flesh and blood ns ever wns that of tho slave-trade. There is not one of these despairing or reckless girls wbo goes down to utter destruction and ruin nftcr au unavailing attempt to earn a decent livelihood by tho work of her hands but will have to he accounted for by those in whose bands the power lay to help her.—Kit, In Mail and Empire ■"■W^'i-i*^^ All work in Ihe Jewelry Repairing line, left ut the Silverton Drug Store, will bo promptly forwarded to Jacob Dovot, the well-known Nelson jeweler.

Through the efforts of William Dunn there will be an excellent collection o* samples of Rossland's ores at the Pahs exposition. The collection embraces 42 samples, including ore from all the principal properties in the camp. The first discovery of coal In the Boundary country has been made by Robert Clark, a well known rancher and prospector. The seam is said to average 25 feet In width. It is locat ed on the Laurier mineral claim on the north fork of Kettle river. The most important happening of past week among the mines of Rossland camp was the finding of a rich oie shoot in the Mascot. The shoot Is from six to seven feet In width and assays of a carefully made sample shows thut it runs $264.61 to the ton. A remarkable feature of the find is the fact that the ore carries over 200 ounces In si I ver. Scottish capital, In a quiet wny.

Sumpter camp will have a minium exhibit at the Spokane exposition. Every one Is enthusiastic over the alia., There Is gteut excitement as Ihe result of discoveries made in Plumbago canyon by Colorado miners. The camp is about 25 miles north of Luraun . tV'yo.. and 17 men have been employe J for some weeks. A carload of the oro was sent to Denver and returns sho.v 50 to 70 per cent copper and elg'it ounces of silver to the ton. A larg** number ot mining men have gone to I'lumliago canyon and staked n.T claims. The Xjstt Chance mine at Saltese, lu the Cceur d'Alenes, shipped two ears of ore last troth, which a couple of leasers have taken out during the spring and summer. The V. S. mine, adjoin- inK it, shipped one car a few days ago. These two mines have been shipping occasionally for six or eight years, generally being worked by leasers, and they have proven valuable properties. The ore Is mainly a carbonate, with more or less gray copper, and yields from $100 to $150 per ton above freight and smelter charges. Interest in tho Badger creek gold district, 40 miles up the Boise river, was revived by the result of development work tbat has been made since the discovery of the district. A tunnel has lieen run 127 feet, rutting the Copper Queen lode 90 feet deep. It has opened li feet of ore which carries an averae.* value of nbout $20 In gold, while much of it is very high grade. The walls are granite, well defined, and the vein gives every Indication of being valuable Some little prospecting has lieen done* in addition, and the results indicate a great gold district. ■■*******K;***^^ ■*•■*■■<■• «m>i IDAHO *tiiTBI.

Labor day was generally observed la Hamilton by the closing of all places o£ business. Helena and Kaat Helena ate now connected hy an electric railway line, live miles long. Mathias Ensch, California!! forty- niner and Montana pioneer, died at "St. Peter's hospital the other day. Professor Albeit J. Roberts bas accepted the position of teacher of languages in the high school of Helena. Jim Stevens, of ('hoteau, has completed a Hut bottomed boat in which he proposes to float down the Teton to the Missouri and thence to New Orleans, via tbe Mississippi. Peter S. llarringlon, ex-mayor and ex-city councilman of Butte, was arraigned in tlie police court on a charge of setting liquor at retail without a lltensle, unci pleaded guilty. There was a very pretty little ro.v over the lihrarianship of the public library in Butte. The past incumbent was beyond criticism and hitherto the office has been kept out of the whirlpotl of politics. Mrs. Harriet M. Tttttle, wife of Rt. Rev. Daniel S. Tuttle, Episcopal bishop of Missouri, who died in St. Louis recently, was at one time a resident of Helena, antl was well known to the old timers in the city. John Sexton, a miner, was found dead in a wine room on North Wyoming street, Butte, last week. He had been drinking to excess, and it is sup posed that this was in great part responsible for the death. Judge Lee of Kibbey was in Belt the other day, and in speaking of the crops in his section snys that he has ridden over 300 miles of territory, and the best crops he saw did not equal one-half of the yield of former years. James A. Shannon committed suicide In Butte last week because he fonnd whisky had too strong a hold on him, by the poison route. He left a note for his mother in Eurora, 111., saying only; "Mother, I am sorry. Good by." He was a fine accountant, and had a splendid position. Labor day in Butte was the largest attended celebration of the year, and reports from the street car roads show that over 25,000 people were carried on the cars to the various places of amusement. Over 8000 peoplo were carried lo the Columbia Gardens alone and although men, women and children clung to the cars like flies, there was not a single accident in the city that Qay. The general prosperity of the residents of the. Bitter Root valley has not been disturbed this year. As a rule farmers bave paid the mortgages on their land antl have money to loan, and while crops are light this year as compared with other years, the increased demand and price of all farm products more than compensates. "It seems almost Incredible that In the neighborhood of $40,000 in actual casli should have been confided to letters during the last year, and harder still to credit that the most exhaustive efforts failed to find the owners of one- fourth of that amount," writes Patti Lyle Collins in The. Ladies' Home. Journal tor September. "The envelopes Which are addressed are kept on file for four years, blank ones not so long, but In either case a liberal margin of time is allowed for claimants to appear before the money is finally turned Into the treasury to the credit of the post- office department, ln addition to the money contained in letters during the same period, something like $10,000 was found loose in the mails. It Is officially styled 'loose money.'" In addition to the 40,000 building craftsmen who were locked out in Denmark several months ago by the organized bosses, who are attempting to destroy all unionists, some 15,000 workers were locked out a few days ago.

Such dishes as beef or veal olives are attractive and palatable. Sufficient meat for them may lie purchased ror a single meal; in fact, this is true of all stews; but broils and roasts are not good when small. Beef olives are strips of thin round steak with a small piece of suet or bacon rolled and tied within. They are first browned in a little suet, and then stewed slowly until tender— about one hour—in a hrown sauce made by adding two tablespocmfttls of Hour to the fat in which Ihey were browned.

P. at Nanaimo, on Labor Day, is causing n commotion nmotigj the eastern press. (specially his remarks on the Chinese problem. It is having the desired effect of awakening the people of the east to the grave dangers that are confronting their western Province, by the influx of this yellow hordo of Asiatics. The workingmen ut this province have long suffered from the neglect of the Dominion Government to put a stop to the immigration of the Chinese, and it needed just such honest, outspoken words from some prominent public man, such as those uttered by Mr. Mclnnes to bring them to the senso of the danger by which this province is threatened. The Chinese who keep flocking in, and who are pampered aud encouraged by a rotten aristocracy, little better than the Chinese they employ, are a source of grave danger to this New Dominion. The United States, which has had the largest experience of any nation in the world in handling and amalgamating foreign immigration, after devoting years of experience and millions in money to the problem, were at last obliged to exclude the Chinese whom they found could not be amalgamated with a white race. If the people of the easl wish to save themselves the phock of hearing of such doiugB in their western province as thoKO that were witnessed a few years ago in Seattle and Rock Springs, they bad better take in hand quickly the suppression of this loathsome Chinese immigration. There, is u limit to the patience of even a good citizen, and honest men will not long ondure seeing their daughters driven onto the streets and their sons made tramps because they cannot lower Brown to Waul McDona1d,'8ept 6.
