THE CITY CHRONICLED.
(From Thursday's Daily.)
We noticed the towering form of Mr.
Hanson, of Livingston, on our streets to
day.
Now that it is possible to bring sheep
from Oregon, in cars, will they not be
cheaper?
Ed. Elliott had a picture of his cele
brated trotting horse, "Bolivar" taken
to-day.
Jas. B. Stewart, one of our rich ranch
man didn't forget to have the Chronicle
sent to his address in Canada.
On the 27th of this month Clarke and
Yoons, found guilty of murder in the
tint degree, will be hanged in the jail
yard of Bozeman.
It is possible that Ben Hogan, the re
formed gambler and pugilist, who has
overturned Butte by the story of his life,
will visit Bozeman.
Editor Hendry calls attention to the
correspondence in the Chronicle and
'tarns our County Assessor down in his
Usual caustic and effective manner.
A. Levy returned from New York last
night where he purchased a large bank
rupt stock of clothing and gents' furnish
ing goods. He proposes to sell out the
entire stock this winter and will use a
liberal amount of printer's ink to gain
that end.
Yesterday the Chronicle presented to
each and every one of its Montana ex
changes a birds-eye view of Bozeman.
We trust that any paper failing to get a
copy will write to us at once before all
are gone.
Mre. Nancy Fenn, mother of Mrs. Col.
W. F. Sanders, died at Cleveland, Ohio,
on November 30ih. Mrs. Fenn was 77
yean of age. She was well known in
Helena, having lived there fourteen
yean.
Now is the time to advertise your holi- I
day goods if you wish to dispose of them, j
The Daily Chronicle is exactly the me
dinm you need, it circulates all over the
city six times a week and an announce- 1
ment placed therein will 1» read ami rc- j

Sabe?
The Chronicle office is in receipt of a
postal from C. L. Weaver, an old resident
os the Gallatin valley in which he says
he is now engaged in farming near Salem,
Oregon, has a web-foot wife and two
babies and promises us to send us a
barrel of Oregon cider, when we elect a
Democratic President. .All right, we
shall look for that barrel.
John Chapman, a prominent cattle
owner on the Stinging Water, accom
panied by his wife is a guest of Mr. J. L.
Sanborn, of lineman, for a few days.
Mr. and iiiKOTfcpman are en route to
Oregon, their former home, where Mr.
Chapman will purchase stock, either
horses or sheep and return with them in
the spring.
David M. Boothby, comedian of the
Katie Putnam company died very sud
denly in Butte on Tuesday while being
conveyed in a wagon from the depot to
the hotel. The immediate cause of his
death has not been decided, though it is
believed to have been the result of a
complication of diseases involving the
action of the heart, and was probably
parcipitated by bis coming into the high
altitude.
The Far Trade Dali.
The furriers and dealers in heavy
clothing are in a bad plight. Last season
was very poor for their lines of business
because of the mild weather, this sea
son it has been worse, if anything. Said
the junior member of the leading New
York retail clothing firm- "We have
sold less than one-half the number of
overcoats and heavy suits this season
that we did two years ago, and the con
sequences almost foot up a disaster. Last
year was bad, and we had an immense
stock of overcoats to put away in the
spring, but we had hopes of improvement
this year. You see how it has been—
not two days of overcoat weather as yet.
And then there have been so many
heavy wholesale failures in the trade,
with the inevitable 'mark-down' that
follows, that legitimate business lias been
seriously damaged. Yes, the overcoat
we marked $40 on the 10th of October we
will be glad to sell now for $25—about
actual cost." In the fur trade the situa
tion is folly as unsatisfactory. Dressed
sealskin advanced in price early in the
season, but manufactured goods went the
other way. The elegant $300 sacque of
two years ago can be had now for $350,
and the less costly goods in almost pro
portionate reduction. As a matter of
fact, however, it may he in other cities,
New York ladies are not wearing furs as
much as they did a Jew years ago, the
long and very elegant cloth cloaks and
the figured wool with fur trimmings hav
ing largely supplanted the health de
stroying seal.__
Destructive Fire.
At 8:30 a. m., to-day, fire was discov
ered in the building used for school pur
poses in the block owned by Walter
Matheson on 26th street. The fire made
such rapid progress that it was immedi
ately apparent that despite all efforts
which might be made, the whole block
of the three buildings was doomed to he
destroyed; the citizens who were on the
scene, therefore turned their attention to
saving the furniture in the residence of
Mr. Matheson and succeeded in rescuing
the greater part of it from destnicton.
The buildings were erected at a cost of
about $ 3 , 000 , and were insured for $1,500
in the the St Paul Fire and Marine.—

Josie Mansfield.
After Fisk was killed and Stokes was
sent to prison, Josie Mansfield went to
Europe. There she attracted the atten
tion of a rich lace-maker, who married
her. A couple of years ago I was over
in France, and one day, while walking
through the gardens of St. Cloud, who
should I encounter but Josie, hanging on
the arm of her husband. He was a
Stout, portly man, much the build of
Fisk, and looked to me like a Bussian
rather than a Frenchman. Josie was
elegantly and most richly dressed, but
1n plain black and laces. She had grown
thinner, and had lost the flesh that for
a while made her look gross and sensual,
and was radiantly beautiful. Her hns
band is enormously wealthy, I am told,
and is devoted to her.

The rumor fit the effect that Mr. Sher

"Why, you're a genuine'musieian," she
said the other night as Kelly warbled
off'a few notes. "No, I'm a Missourian,"
he replied.
The County Commissioners will be in
session until next Tuesday. Nothing of
great importance has yet been transacted,
The Bozeman Social club will give one
of their select parties to-night at (.'apt.
John Smith's Hall. To go is to enjoy

"Ten years elapse before Morgan again

"Wal, ole women, i reckon we'd better

The Holland troupe hade farewell to
Bozeman last evening in the play of "Ten

ence was present. The company left on
the east bound train for Livingston
The Mussettes, a musical company,
which has traveled aii over the woild,

The bill for the new furniture at the
court house has been received. The

A. B. Carow, the boot and shoe man,
is having the brick building next to his
present location-fitted up for his stock of

small for his increasing business.
The worst story we have yet heard of
Livingston whiskey is to the effect that a
spoonful was recently given to a sick
child. Being left alone a cat sucked its
breath and a few minutes after, died.
Tuesday last the Marquis De Mores
and the citizens of Billings culminated by
a written agreement a contract for the
erection within eight monthsof a slaugh

They have a lot of rustling advertisers
in Livingston, for instance: "Card of
Thanks I wish to personally return my
sincere thanks to the (icrson or persons
who took the trouble to write a note to a
certain young lady of tills place, and also
for signing, E. C. Lawrence."
To quit the dry goods department, it
will lie welcome news for the ladies to

early while our stock is full and com

Dick Cantliff, or "Pretty Dick" as he is
known, among his sporting friends in
Bozeman and Miles City, was shot at
Livingston the other day by a man
named A. Weinholzer. Luckily the ball
failed to enter his iiead and passed
around his forehead to his left ear.
Weinholzer has been arrested on the
charge of assault with the intent to kill.
A. A. Cameron, the book-keeper and
self-asserted professor, left yesterday for
Livingston. The professor succeeded in
enriching himself considerably while
here and in return has given his scholars
a system of book-keeping, which a lack
of the knowledge of arithmetic, renders
useless. Money expended in learning to
write would have been more beneficial
to many of them.
We have to thank the Chronicle for
a copy of the panoramic view of Boze
man lately published. It is a handsome
view and represents Bozeman in all her
beauty. The board of trade of that town,
with commendable enterprise, lias secur
ed 3,000 of these lithographs, and is dis
tributing them at a trifling cost. It is an
excellent method of advertising a town.

Charles M. Beach, of "The Shaw,"
Cheadle, Stafordshirc. England, writes to
Land Agent Green that lie is desirous of
purchasing an addition to Bozeman. He
asks Mr. Green to forward plats, etc., by
return mail. Truly Bozeman is becom
ing known abroad.
Several very important real estate
transactions are said to be on the tapis
between the agent of the Northern Pa
cific railroad and eastern parties. Shrewd
speculators recognize (lie fact that Boze
man iias not been over boomed and that
soon enterprises will spring up that will
make it the leading city of Montana.
Inasmuch as our steam whistle has

"Gath's" Nom De Finnic.
While Mr. Townsend was in Washing
ton he Hit upon the signature of "Gath,"
which has become so widely known. He
gives the following account of the man
ner in which he developed the name:
"Applications for my letters came pour
ing in from all sides. I was writing for
the Cleveland Leader over my initials,
for the Cincinnatti Commercial over the
name Swede, and for the St. Louis Dem
ocrat over the name Finn, and was using
my initials Itesides in the New York
7'riljune and a Philadelphia paper. Sud
denly the Chicago Tribune applied, too; I
put down G. A.T., and then balanced my
pen and said: "I am tired of writing
that;" so I tried to make some monogram
of it, and the only consonant that would
make a syllable with it was II, which I
added. "Hello," said I. "that is a Phil
istine city. "Hello, again," said I, "It is
written in the Scriptures, "Tell it not in
Gath" (that^Goliath lias fallen). So I
wrote Gath below the letter. Soon after
that Mr. Horace White bought my whole
correspondence up at a salary, and Gath
became my only known signature for
years; so that I found last winter, when
I went lecturing, that I had written my
own name out of existence, like a mar
ried woman, and was merely Mr. Gath.
"Postotile.es, race horses, and cigars
have Ik: en named 'Gath,' and my wife
wanted me to call my last boy
by the same name, but I jire
sented my original name to him, and he
now says his name is George Alfred
Townsend, Jr."

that in deference to the wishes of promi

Photographing the Dead.
A photographer unbosoms himself last
week to a Times reporter on the subject
of posthumous photography: "When I
first came to Chicago," said he," business
was dull, and 1 got poor. One day, when
pushed to my wits' ends for money, I
was struck with an idea which I have
followed out successfully ever since. The
death columns of the daily newspapers
were carefully gone over, and wjten the
funeral was advertised from an humble
neighborhood I was usuatly sure of a $5
bill. I visited the houses and offered to
photograph their dead. Out of a dozen
visits I would probably get one job. In
a couple of years my reputation grew,
and finally I came to be almost as fre
quently sent for as the minister. Only
last June a messenger eante in from a
South Chicago family, desiring me to
photograph their dying father. When I
got there he was too far gone, and I had
to wait. Half an hour after the old gen
tleman breatljpd his last, and before he !
became stiff we had him sitting in a chair,
with his eyes held open with stiff muci
lage between the lids and the brow, and
his legs crossed. He made a very good
picture. I once photographed two
children—6isters—who had died the
same day of diphtheria. They were
posed with their arms about each other's
necks. An Irish family living in Bridge
port called on me about a year ago to
take a picture of their dead son—a
young man—with his high beaver hat
on. It was necessary to take the stiffened
corpse out of the iee-box and proji it
against the wall. The effect was ghastly,
but the family were delighted, and
thought the hat lent a life-like apppear
ance to the picture. Sometimes, at the
suggestion of the family, I have filled out
the emaciated cheeks of dead people
with cotton to make them look plump.
The eyes are nearly always propped open
with pins or niucjfotfê^K when [icople
can afford to cngageK^Ht it is an easv
matter to paint the eyeWmerward. Some
time ago I took a picture of a dead man
who had been scalded to death. It was
a full length photograph, and an artist
was engaged to fill out the burns on his
face and then make a copy in oil. For
that piece of work I received $50, and
the artist was paid $500.
Montana turfmen will read the follow
ling, which comes from Salt Lake, with

various towns in the circuit, which will !
include Helena, Butte, Denver, Pueblo, j
Omaha, and Pan Francisco and other J
towns that may thereafter be decided
upon. Horses going East from San Fran
cisco in the spring will be able to take in
the Rocky Mountain circuit, and return

in the fall meetings. So, also, horses com
ing from Omaha and the East in the
early part of the year will be able to

During the month of October, a man
representing himself first as ; otoffic in
spector Stcdman, and afterward as inspec
tor Henderson. visited the towns along j
the line of the Northern Pacific road fr uit
Miles City to Helena. He successfully
carried out his role, he having what pur
ported to be an inspectors commission
and being well posted in postoiiico affairs
to swindle various postmasters and banks
out of sums of money, and seemed to
have things ids own way. Hearing of
the anticipated arrival in Helena of in
spectors Sevbolt and Baiinerman, the
pretended Henderson left between two
days. Since the officers of the post office
department have been anxious fr secure
his arrest. On Friday last, when pass
ing through Missoula on his way met
from Portland, assistant general superin
tendent Jameson, spotted a man in tiie
railroad telegraph office, who answered
the description as given to him by in
spector Stuart, as he came through Chi
cago. Arriving in Helena, < ilonol Jan e
son informed deputy T'nited States mar
shal Hathaway of his discovery. Hatha
way, who was acquainted with the bogus
inspector proceeded to Missoula and ar
rested his man. and arrived on Thursday
in Helena with his prisoner. Inspector
Soy bolt telegraphs from San Francisco to
deputy marshal Hathaway that when
the Montana authorities are through
with this man lie is wanted in Chicago,
by inspector Stuart, who has a requisi
tion from the governor of Louisana for
his arrost. He went by the name ofS.
W. Scott in Missoula and for several
weeks was in the employ of the North

The prisoner was brought to Bozeman
