t. S e- ur ce ice et, ID .re old oot tiur ties I j .'l:t "immiy in Montana. A majority of the wives of the promi nent and wealthy men of Montana today were teachers before they were married,! and at the present rate of marriage among the teachers this is likely to re-j main a fact for many years yet. An' apt illustration of the high esteem in which teachers are held by maleMon-j taniana is given in the history of the school at the little town of Choteau.! This tiown is in Northern Montana, close to the Blackfeet Indian reserve, in the centre of one of the richest agricultural and grazing sections in the state. There are never more than fifteen scholars at the school, most of the settlers being bachelors, and the salary is $100 a month. The i)wn is sixty miles from the railroad and 1 he stage trip is a very tiring one. W Kn the school was opened, some t ire years ago, a very prepossessing oung lady from Missouri was the first jtstrUetor. The school was opened in jeptinber, and in December she was parried to a well to do stockman. Be fore her marriage, with the consent of the trustees, she sent to her old home for a friend to succeed her,- and the spring saw ihe friend a bride too. The trustees then' employed a man, but the bachelor ranchmen, who contributed largely to the maintenance of the school, protested, and jl the second year saw a lady in the teacher's chair. She and -her successor were also married to good citizens be fore the year closed, and the school now has a man and his wife at its head. The bachieiorg are protesting, and it is thought that the old order of things will be re sumed before many months. San Fran- f cieco Chronicle. i The Menagerie Ban the Ship.

It is bound in red Turkey mo rocco, and it is a beautiful addition, not f only! to angling literature, but also to the ; illuminator's art. It is not - literature J properly speaking, because there is only f one copy, andj it is illuminated with as i much care and skill as the monks in the fiddle ages were wont to devote to the making of their missals. I ' It! Contains an account of a trip of a fewjNew York sportsmen, of whom Mr. Holberton was one, in 1877, to Kanuska lake; in the northwest corner of Idaho. It is on Irish linen paper, and the text ia printed in a small cjear hand, while the initial letters of the chapters are illum inated in the Fourteenth century style pf the' art. Water color and pen and ink views of the shores of the lake and of the flies fished with and of the fish caught on the lake adorn almost every page, f The frontispiece is a pretty water color I of the Dolly; Varden trout, the rainbow trout and the black spotted or "cut throat" trout. The book cannot be bought. New York Sun. The Mayor Said "Rati." Mayor Cregier, ordinarily, is rather precise in his speech and is seriously Op posed to the use of ; slang words. There is one thing, however, that he objects! to still more, and that is the conundrum fiend. A conundrum sprung on him sets him wild and sometimes induces him to sputter out a slang word or two. Comp troller Onahan met the mayor one day, and either forgetting or not knowing his honor s antipathy to riddles, said to him: 4Mayor, I just heard a first class conun drum, the best I ever heard. See if you can guess it. What makes a cat walk softly?" The mayor began to fume and continued getting warmer as Onahan progressed, j By the time the comptroller had finished j the mayor's face was a per fect picture of disgust, and he could find but one word to fitly express his feelings, and that he snapped out savagely, j It was "Rats!" A sijfile broke over the comptroller's face, and in surprise lie ex claimed: "That's tlie answer; who told you?" Chicago Herald. j - , .

THE WONDERFUL RECORD ! A DECADE. OF The Annual Report of the Presi dent of the Asheville Board of Trade. At the annual meeting of the Asheville Board of Trade I think it proper that a business of the report be made on the city at the present time, its prospects for the future, and in doing so, view it m its relations to the past, thus instituting a comparison between its condition in 1880 with what it is now at the beginning of 1890. : ' U 1 With this object in view, I commenced a few weeks ago to collect matter for this report, intending to confine I myself to a brief review of the mercantile inter ests of the city, as illustrated by the bus iness of the past year. But asl advanced in the collection of facts and statistics so much sprang up before me, suggested by the original subject of investigation, that I felt it to be a duty as well as a pleasure to embrace other topics proving j what a grand exhibit we could make of the de velopments of the city in all its relations to population, enterprise and achieve ments within the past ten years. ; The statistics presented have been compiled :with great care, and are ap proximately accurate, j It has been a widely conceived, but assuredly an erroneous impression that Asheville is purely a health and pleasure resort. iTo that feature I offer i no dis sent. It deserves all that is said of it in that regard, and year by year it adds largely to its seekers after health and pleasure. But to the charms of climate and scenery we add unsurpassed .induce ments to-the investor, the manufacturer, the artisan, the merchant, and all seek ing homes, either for pleasure or profft. For the proof : j j Ten years ago Asheville contained a population of 2,610. To-day she has a population of 12,000. j In 1880 the assessed value of the prop erty in the city was $904,428. To-day it is $4,393,234, an increase of 500 per cent, in ten years. I In 1880 the mercantile business amount ed to about $500,000. The total business of the citv for the vear 1889 amounted to $4,956,090.64. The increase of business in 1889 over the business of 1888 was 25 per cent. In 1880 there were sold on the Ashe ville tobacco market 150,000 pcfunds of leaf tobacco for which; was paid ; $12,000, At the close of the tobacco year ending September 1, 1889, there had been sold 4,178,838 1 pounds, for which was paid $422,479.26. - I am inf brmed by the sec- retarv of the Tobacco I Association that the sales from the 1st of September, 1889, to the present time show 1 an - in crease of about 20 per cent, over any.pre- vious vear for the same length of time. The real estate transactions for the past year amounted to $819,000. And this has been done without the influence of "a boom, but in the natural order The large purchases of Mr. George Van derbilt in the vicinity!! of Asheville are , not included. Mr. Vanderbilt on his visits to Asheville saw how he could ju diciously employ his money and indulge his tastes-by getting possession of and adorning large tracts of land, embodying every variety and feature of natural beauty. He acquired on the south side of the Swannanoa river, and along the Freneh river about 6,000 acres, for which it is estimated he paid half a million dol lars. He is now engaged in the develop ing of his plans, building costly resi dences, outbuildings, I farm houses, sta bles, etc., laying out extensive roads and driyes, planting orchards, forming plan tations of, evergreens and other trees. He has employed in that work to-day about 300:hands and fifty teams. I men tion this more , carefully because the ex ample of Mr. Vanderbilt may not be lost upon otheirs, and because his large pur chases hafe not taken up all the eligible locations in the vicinity of Asheville. , 'As indicating the steady and continu ous growth of the city, I will state that during the vear 1889 there were erected here 184 buildings at a cost of $528,800. There are fifteen manufacturing and lumber establishments within the city limits,: with an aggregate capital of $800,000, loing an annual business of $1,100,000. Among these are the C. E. Graham Manufacturing company's mills, employing 250 hands! and running 260 looms and 6,100 spindles, the output be ing plaids, ginghams, sheeting, etc. The Asheville Furniture and j Lumber company are employing about 90 hands and engaged in making out of the fine natural woods elegant and durable fur niture which has already received a large demand at home and abroad; The Asheville Milling company is making on a very large scale very supe rior patent roller process flour and all other products of a flouring mill; The Asheville Tobacco Works manu factures tine chewing! and smoking to bacco: An Ice Factorj- is supplying all local demands and the summer wants of the neighboring towns; j ! A Shoe Factory employing about SO hands making all varieties of shoes and already securing a large and widely ex tended patronage; The Demens Manufactory of all kinds o lumber, sash, blinds, store fixtures and making a specialty in the working ot hard woods; The French Broad Lumber company with steam saw mill dealers in all kinds of lumber, employing about fifty hands; The Asheville Manufacturing and Lumber company engaged in the same business. " V. j To these may be added a soda water and bottling establishment, three large tobacco sale warehouses, a number of tobacco prize houses, and several sash and blind factories. The banking capi tal of the city in round numbers is three hundred and twentvftwo thousand dol lars, j Capital on deposit amounts to about a half million dollars. There are in the city eight hotels and twenty-seven boarding houses', some of the hotels being of such a character as to have achieved national reputation. ! They have pro vided excellently for the forty, thousand visitors who came to Asheville during the past year. As a new feature in the movement of travel I will state that these - hotels and boarding . houses are now filled with strangers, from all parts of the country, proof j that Asheville has a reputation as a winter as well as a summer resort. There is here probably the best water supply . hy, the .United, States. There is a complete system of sewerage, securing cleanliness and health to every street ana lQt in the city. t Following is the weather report of Dr. Karl von Ruck, observer U. SI Signal Service Station, for the year ending Oc tober 31, 1889: Mean annual temperature 54.52 F, mean maximum temperature 65.59 " F, mean minimum temperature 44.90 F, absolute maximum temperature 77.61 F absolute minimum temperature 30.06 F, mean aany range oi temperature au.bl" a , mean daily variation of temperature 3.09 F. mean relative humidity 65.55. mean absolute humidity 35.49 grains. 1 Average number of clear and fair days in each month 24 5-10. i !

Average amount of okone present of possible 100, 54 per cent, jl .;, There are four miles of electric "street railway running to the most prominent points in the city. There are two sys tems of electric lighting, the arc and in candescent, by which the streets are lighted and also business! houses, public buildings and private dwellings. , In ad dition to these there are gas works which share largely in such uses. ( j there are three graded, schools for j white pupils and one for colored pupils, educating altogether twelve ! hundred children. There are, moreover, two male academies, two female colleges, one fe male high school and one theological school. . I: . There are sixteen churches for all de nominations and ooth races, one public library, three club houses, and a Y. M. C. A. : ! - .',! - There are two fire companies and a Game well fire j alarm system, and also a telephone system. j ! . j There are two daily newspapers, be sides six weekly and one monthly. Our railroad system, connects us speed ily with ; all parts of the country with double daily trains. It jj may be stated here that in our population are included about two thousand residents of North ern and foreign birthvthe latter being chiefly English and Scotch. The city has a debt of $240,000 in water works and sewer bonds bearing 6 per cent, interest. j ! There are one hundred and forty-four business houses in the city ; and in this connection I will state !j that ! lat year there were only two failures, and those for small amounts. Thi4 is highly cred itable to the good business judgment and high intelligence of our merchants, and it presents a record unsurpassed by any town of similar size in the! whole country. The State, county, city land school tax is $1.73 per annum on the $100 worth of property. The assessment of property is about 60 pet cent, of the actual value A city ordinance passed about three years ago exempts from taxation for fiye years all manufacturing) establishments having a capital of $5,000 and over. The business outlook) for the current year is very bright, and promises to be jof unusual activity.! Several large real es tate transactions are now being negoti ated, which will involve! large expendi ture of money in improvements The manufacturing business Of the city is enlarging rapidly, and I make the pre diction that within the next ten years i Asheville will be the largest hard wood manufacturing city in the South. Dr. C. D. Smith, the well-known scientist of Macon connty, stated that Western North Carolina contained the hard wood in which the world i is to be supplied j in the next fifty years. With one exception North Carolina has the largest -per cent age of forest area ofi any of the Southern States, that area in1 acres being 57.9 of the whole, and this per centage is greater in! Western North Carolina than m any other part of the State!. It abounds in that most valuable timber poplar, now growing so greatly in favor in the North ern markets, and also in oak, hickory, black walnut, ash; ; cherry, locust, pine, etc., etc. I l have thus presented as Drieny as could be done, in the time permitted me, an outline of the chief interests oi our .citv, but not enough to do the subject the full "justice it merits.! Geo S. Powell Let the People Read and Remember, (Messrs. Crisp and others have already brought out the fact that in a previous House, which the Republicans controlled, Mr. Blane, their leader then as he is to day, while acting as Speaker, declared in the most emphatic manner possible against the ruling under which Mr. Reed proposes to form a quorum to-day. Mr. Blaine was appealed to and asked to count the Democrats present but not voting in order to assure a quorum, but refused to do so. and declared it could not be done constitutionally. The fact of Mr. Blaine's rulling, as we have already noticed, has been given. It must prove interesting to quote his exact words, for the warning he then gave is most appropriate to-day. j Here is the discussioh as given verb atim in Congressional Record, Forty third Congress, Second Session, Vol. III. page 1734: ! "The Speaker (Mr. Blaine) The Chair never heard of that being done. He begs to remind the House, whereas that might and doubtless would bej true, that there is a quorum in the hall, the very principle enunciated by the gentleman from In diana has been the foundation probably for the greatest legislative frauds ever committed. Where a quorum, in the judgment of the Chair, has been declar ed to be present in the House against the result of a roll-call, thee proceedings in! the different Lesrislatures have brought scandal on their names. jMr. Coburn It would be a record made by the House. ! ! ! I The Speaker There can be no record like the call of the yeas and nays: and; from that there is no appeal. The mo ment you clothe your Speaker with pow er to go behind your roll-call and assume that there is a quorum in the hall, why, gentlemen, you stand on the very brink of a volcano." 1 1 j (These are strong words, and seldom used - in Congress. Thorough partisan as-, he. was, Mr. Blaine recognized the danger to the country; and to his own nartv of ,the Tulinff. DroDOsed then and insisted on to-day by Mr. Reed. i a- -". . .

I take it for granted that the moderately improved cases and those returned home. will eventually die of phthisis, j Regard ing the cases from; Table No. 4, so' much may be said that at least half of all; are doing very well, and there is every pros pect that as good results will! eventually be obtained as in the discharged cases' of Table No. 3. !- - ,--- ) r Of the improved; cases in the advanced stage of Table No. 4, a cure in the sense of permanent arrestment of the disease is very probable. The scarcity i of early stage cases, only 9 out; of 51, makes! the total.resultsof course less f avorahle, jbut on the whole it niust appear evident to any observer that the results are much better than obtained without favorable climate and under the same management. The climatic influence is I equally appa rent in Table No. 1, and while I am fully aware of the fact that such small num bers dor not justify absolute con clusions, they nevertheless!; are suffi cient for the endorsement of the method which appears to give the best results, and are given in the hope that others may add their experience in the- future, j For climatic' advantages, m my choice of places, , I was somewhat governed by the results obtained in cases sent ajvay from private prac ice which are recorded in Table; No. 1. I selected Asheville!, N. C, after! full personal investigation of its climate, especially with reference to the immunity from phthisis of its native resi dents, which by the labors of Dr. Marcy, of Boston: Dr. Uleitsmann,! of isew York : Dr. Chaille, of New Orleans: Drs. Lloyd and Segur, of Brooklyn and others, was previously well established. Before the preparation of this paper I again ex amined the records of deaths for the city of Asheville during the year -past, and with considerable expenditure of time. investigated the history and nativity of the 11 deaths Irom phthisis, which appear in these records j , I find that of these cases ten occurred in persons who came to Asheville for their health from a dis tance, and only one, a negro, can be con sidered a resident. We have therefore, no deaths from phthisis among the white population at all,,1 and only one out of population of oyer 10,000 inhabitants. The death rate jtrom all causes is very low, especially among the whites, the city is clean, j and the - recent completion of a thorough system of sewerage, the pres ence of good water works with filters, and the establishment of an l efficient board of ! health with a competent medi cal man! for its executive I officer, leaves little to be desired from a sanitary point of view;; now 'the city government wil need to deal with the j improvements needed in streets and sidej-walks, and the establishment of a public park to make Asheville one of the leading resorts for pulmonary diseases in the United States. Older) meteorological data,1 especially the observations made by) Dr. Gleitsman of New; York, are recorded! in medica literature, and have been confirnied by the observations made during the las vear by! the.
