The Bulte Theatre and the Odd Fellows'
Building Duetroyed by Fire Mouday
Night.
Butte Special: The largest fire Butte
has seen for many a day occurred Isbt
evening and resulted in the dtetruc.
tion of the Grand opera house and the
Odd Fellows building on Broadway.
About 8:l15, a the stage men were
lighting up and getting ready for the
performance, one of tte bordes of can,
Va. caught fire from the gas jets and
the tflmes spread with great rapidity.
There were about seventy people in
the opera house at the time, the auai
eunce aving just begun toassemble for
the even ug's performance, which was
to be "The Wages of Sin," by the
Adele Payn company. The latter were
in the dressing rooms making up for
the play and had to flee halt dressed
from the burning theatre. They
saved all their wardrobe excepting
one trunk. The audience made a mad
rush for the door and succeeded in
getting out safely, but had the house
been full there would probably k-ave
been a panic and loss of life. As it
was, no one was injured. The flames
spread with great rapidity and the
building was enveloped in flames
when the fire department got on the
first stream. The flames conmmunlea
ted to the next building, the I. 0. 0.
F. block, and that too, was burned out.
The water supply failed about a half
hour after it was turned on, and the
firemen had to let the flames rage as
they would, while waiting for more
water. This was soon obtained from
the Montana and Silver Bow oompan
lee, who turned their water supply into
the city mains and afforded a plenti
ful force for four powerful streams,
which finally subdued the flame s. By
hall past nine the fire was finally put
out, but nothing but the blackened
walls of the two buildings remained.
TBe losses will De over ittiu,UUO, as
near as can he estimated and are as
follows: Opera house, $42,000; scenery
and furniture,$7,000; I. 0, O. F. build
ing, $1,(MN0; John Maguire, $10,(00.
The Opera house was insur d for
$18,(000 and the Odd Fellows' building
is fully covered.
The fire is a terrible blow to John
Maguire, whs lost his extensivelibrary
and all his personal property, as his
roomy were in the theatre building.
His valuable manuscripts, the collec
tions af a life time were also destroyed.
Louis Villemalre, the assistant mana
ger, looses all of his personal effects.
Maguire owned a large interest in the
opera house, and his losr, including
everything, will not f: ll far below
$15,0)0. None of his personal property
was Insured.
Cavalry Hotl t a.
A great deal of interest was created
in and around Tracy's scales during
the past week where Maj. Henry Car.
roll, of Ft. Aselnaboloe, has been re
celving horses for the government
from the contractor Sidney Paget,
who it is said gets about $11.00 for all
horses aecepted. The examination toIs
very rigid and there is perhaps no
other man in the service in the north
west who can carry it on so lot 1.
gently as Major Carroll. He isea thor
ough horseman and exceedingly strict
in hie examinations. The horse is
trotted, walked and galloped. He is
weighed and measured and his age
ascertained. His limbl are carefully
examined and every peculiarlty noted
down in a book for that purpso·. The
horses must weigh fully 951 pounds
and must be 1.5 hands high. On Wed
nesday about half the horsesexamined
were aooepted, While on Thursday all
but one were found to fill the require
ments. There are 133 horses to be de*
Ilvered and accepted before Mr. Paget
ills his eortract and an extension of
time extending up to August 10th has
been given him, when it Is believed
that he will be able to put in the re
quired number. As fast as seuepted
the horses are branded U S and wil be
at once taken to the different posts in
the department of Dakots. Major
Carroll is assisted in his examinations
by Doctor l'bhe, of Fort Custer, and
Mr. Mhlerhurn a cherk from Mt. Paul,
all are good horsenwn and thoroughly
understand their lusinoews. Some two
welt., ago fourteen hire' a were ac
cepted out of twenty-six, but as the
last lot of sixty brought in by Mr.
Pt.tet are con-iderable better hoer 1, a
greater portion of them have been r
c~ived. Several ocal horsemen have
looked at the horses and ironounce
them first-clam., averaging well in
size. age and similarity of oolor.
The desire of the war depaltment 's
to fully test the abilllties of the native
horse for cavalry purpoeas and if he is
found to be all that Ih claimed for him
toconfinue their future purchases to
this section. This will create a new
horse market and he decidedly advan
tageous to the horse raiser. We feel
satlflsd that the hbrses accepted by
Major Cdrroll will fill the bill to every
part'cu,:r an i that the experiment
will prove a success.-B ,zeman Chbru
loje.
The First American Locomotlies.
In 18H2 Mr. Horatio Allen, who had
been in England the year before to
learn all that c suld ,h. learned abut
steam lotsjmtijon, reported to the
South Carolina Railway Company in
favor of steam instead of horse power
for that line. The ba,*dof that report,
he says, "was on the broad ground
that in the future there was no reason
to exp-.ct any material improvement
in the breed of horses, while in my
judgment, the man was not living who
kn. w what tie breed of locomotive-s
aas t', place at command."
As early as 18:14 and 1830, Peter
Cooper experimented with a little lco
motive on the Baltiuore & Ohio rail
road. At a meeting of the Master Me
etianic' AnDoelation In New York, in
1875--t the institute which bears his
name-he related with great glee how
on the trial trip he had beaten a gray
horse, attached to another car.
The undeveloped condition at that
time of the art of machine construc
tion is indicated by the foot that the
dues of the boiler of this engine were
made of gun barrels, which were the
only tubes that could then be obtained
for the purpose. The boiler itself is
described an about the size of a dour
barrel. The whole machine was no
larger than a hand-car of the present
day.
In the same year that Peter Cooper
built his engine, the South Carolna
railway company had a I1 'omotive,
called the "Best Friend," built at the
West Point Foundry for Its line. In
1831 this company had another en
gine, the "South Carolina," which was
designed .by Mr. Horatio Allen, built

Detroit Abhad,
The National league contest is devel.
oping into a very pretty race, with
Detroit, Chicago and New York nearly
neck and n' ce and with a much better
percentage than they had at this time
last year. Boston, who was one of the
"big four" of lat year, can scarcely be
counted in the race for the pennant of
18M, and notwithstadling the acquisi
tion of Clarkson it putting up a very
inferior article of ball playing. Chi
cago that a week or so ago had a com
manding lead, has been collared and
passed by the Detroits and Is scarcely
a good second, with New York push
nlg so closely In the rear as to be very
uncomfortable for the colts. New
York's game for the pest two weeks
has been remarkably strong and even,
and there are many good judges who
expect to see the "Giants" finish in
the lead. After the diet three, Phila
delphia and Boston have a race of their
own for fourth place, while the three
remaining clubs have all they can do
tokeep from bringing up the rear. The
order of march including Tuesday's
games is as follows:

Every large town in the midland re
gion of Am. rica--in truth, ecery lairg
town throu,,!: u: the entire country-has
a greater or lens percentage of German
citizens, varying from 10 to 40 per cent.,
and in many cities the school commis
sioners have made a concession to the
German element by including the Ger
man language among the branches taught
in the public schools. By this course the
fact has been esablished that not only
the children of German parents have d.
rived a Ibnefit, but that the studious boys
and girls of other nationalities have
profited by this opportunity for acquiring
German. Experience has shown that this
twofold acquisition of language, by pra
tical use, is of very decided utility to the
children who eunfrace it, and the latter
make much more rapid progres than
such as are taught by means of one lan
guage enclusivcly. In many countries
they would esteem themselves peculiarly
fortunate in possessing suct an advantage
-that is to say, a majoriit of the pupisl
bringing with them into the school at
least a sulperficial. knowle 1ie of two lan
guages. Such an opportt.t ity would be
sedulou.ly cultivated, just Li the French
has been cultivated in the French and
Wallon provinces for fully -'( 0 years.
Not so, however, in our v n country.
Here, the German tongue h: s had to con
tend constantly against prej i lice or di
rect h.stility. If one takes iit >consider
ation the fact that a considern le propor
tion of tile boa instructed ii the two
tongues later in life enter n, mmerial
vtcations, this aversion to Gernu n will be
regarded as unwise and suicidal. The Ger
man language is the second ma st d#idely
spoken on the face of the glole, andl a man
who understands it well. together with the
English, can today engage in business
as a commercial traveler in any country
that is not European. The trade, for ex
ample. of Mexico and Central America is
in the hands of German firms, whose
members were educated from their boy
hood for their future profeMion, by being
compelkUd to acquire Spanish, at the same
time with their mother tongue, and oaten
English and French besides. If an Amer
ican commercial traveler should enter
into conversation with such a merchant,
in Gutenmala or San Salvador. in his
mother tongue, a bond of fellowship s at
once established, which is very likely to
bear fruits.
