The executive committee in charge of the Fourth of July celebration met at the city hall last evening to receive reports from the soliciting committees in the different wards and to make appropriations for the different features of the celebration. There was a large attendance, good collections were reported and a great deal of enthusiasm was manifested. The following collections were reported: Second ward, $200; Third ward, $275; Fourth ward, $218; Fifth ward, $204.50; Sixth ward, $204.50. With the balance of $150 which was left over from last year's celebration this placed $1,252 at the disposal of the committee, with three wards still to hear from. The canvass has not been completed in any of the wards and the committee estimated that at least $350 more will be raised. After a great deal of discussion the following appropriations were made: For bands and music, $600; for fireworks, $500; for decorating $335, for incidental expenses, $200; for printing, $50. Last year four bands were engaged at an expenditure of $755. The sentiment last evening was strongly against spending so much money on music as in former years, and it was with some difficulty that an appropriation large enough to admit of three bands being engaged was secured. Chairman Reinhart of the committee on music expressed the belief that he could secure three bands for $25 or $50 less than the appropriation. It was decided to have all three of them play in the parade and then proceed direct to the Auditorium and play an overture, which they are allowed to do without extra charge. The appropriation for decorating is the same as last year. W. H. Black stated that with $500 this year he could duplicate the fireworks display of three years ago, which cost $700 and was a very fine one. All citizens and business men were requested to decorate their residences and stores. Miss W. Warren was added to the decorating committee and F. C. McWilliams was added to the third ward soliciting committee. V. L. Joslyn and George Dutton were made official programmers. The committee then adjourned until next Tuesday evening, at which time it desires final reports from all committees so that it can complete all arrangements. Representatives from all committees are requested to be present at that time. The committee of arrangements has selected Emmett Callahan for oratir [sic] of the day and Judge W. O. Speer for president of the day. # ST. PATRICK'S COMMENCEMENT ### A Large Audience Delightfully Entertained at the Opera House. The annual commencement exercises of St. Patrick's school were held at Maguire's opera house last night and were marked with the usual excellence of entertainments by that educational institution. Although an admission was charged the opera house was crowded. The programme as published in the Standard a few days ago was fully carried out. The cantata "Columbia" was excellently performed with the following cast of characters: "Uncle Sam" by Harry Burke; "Egyptian" George Clark; "Erin" Martha Glynn; "German" Joseph Freudenstein; "Mound Builder" Josie Vanst[o?]n; "Negro" John Hennessy; "Aztec" Tessie Courtney; "Chinaman" John Harrington; "Indian" Edgar Andrieux; "Norseman" Daniel Gorman; "Spaniard" Edgar Baker; "Pilgrim Father" John H. Curtis; "Goddess of Liberty" Lillie Coleman. Each part was well acted, but the Pilgrim Father by Master Curtis and the Goddess by Lillie Coleman were especially good. Clement Burkhard, one of the two graduates, delivered an original oration on "Ideal Education." The young man handled the subject with marked ability and his oration showed careful study and composition. His delivery was very good. William J. McMahan, the other graduate, is a born orator as he proved by his delivery of his oration entitled "Aristocracy vs. Independence." He spoke of the aristocracy of the country and took occasion to give a rap to the American girls who sell themselves for foreign titles in preference to marrying a common American of worth. Father DeSiere also delivered an address, at the conclusion of the entertainment, and spoke of the success of the parochial school and thanked the people of Butte for their liberal contributions toward paying off the debt on the school. The school, he said, now belongs to the people of the church and is a credit to them. There are nearly 800 pupils enrolled in the school and the future financial prosperity of the institution is assured. Father DeSiere congratulated the two young graduates on the progress they have made in their education and gave them good advice for their future guidance. Among the other features of the programme were the Aztec drill by a class of girls of whom Mattie Walker was captain; an Indian dance under Chief Edgar Andrieux, the continental drill by 16 boys, each of whom represented a different nationality; the Yankee Doodle drill by 15 boys and the United States navy drill by 19 boys, the whole concluding with a beautiful tableaux. The different drills were appropriately and handsomely costumed and beautifully executed. "The Tableaux of Virgins" by 10 girls was an especially beautiful thing, well performed and elicited rounds of applause. "The Troublesome Servant" was an amusing dialogue between "Old Grimes" and "Handy Andy," represented by Harry Burke and Johnny Curtis. A quartet by the Misses Courtney, McGlynn, Whitty and Lavoie was well rendered and encored. The concluding part of the excellent programme consisted of a series of new and beautiful drills, the first of which represented the original states by 13 girls dressed in red, white and blue. The drill concluded with a chorus. The next drill was that of the United States cavalry, captained by William J. McMahan. The United States infantry, of which Thomas Caufield was captain, came next and the [column continues] ## Column 3 last was an artillery drill under Captain John Dugan. The latter company drilled with a cannon. All companies were handsomely dressed in new and appropriate uniforms and their maneuvers were perfectly executed. Father DeSiere distributed among the pupils a number of handsome prizes, consisting of a gold watch, medals and pins as rewards for punctuality and attendance at school, excellence in music and general standing. The graduates were presented with handsome gold pins, all the prizes having been donated by J. H. Leyson. The entertainment was pronounced by all who witnessed it one of the best school entertainments ever given in Butte. # OHIO DEMOCRACY. ### Six Hundred of the 700 Delegates Are Good Silver [M]en Columbus, O., June 23.—The democratic state convention meets here to-morrow. The silver men have over 600 out of 700 delegates and the gold men are making no contest. Ex-governor Campbell, who arrived yesterday, announced to-day that he would not stand for delegate-at-large or for endorsement for president. The silver leaders have given notice that they want only pronounced free silver men on the delegation to Chicago and even with the unit rule they do not want any conservatives. There is only one contest, that from Stark county. The committee on resolutions is expected to stand 18 to 3 for free silver. While John R. McLean and John W. Bookwalter are both slated for delegates-at-large, both are being pressed for places on the national ticket. This contest is expected to result in no instructions being given, except that the Ohio delegation vote as a unit. The gold delegates from Cleveland are preparing to fight the unit rule instructions. The democratic central committee some months ago selected ex-Congressman John A. McMahon, of Dayton, a gold man to deliver the key note speech. When McMahon learned the convention was controlled by silver men, he declined to serve. The state committee selected a year ago when Senator Brice and ex-Governor Campbell controlled the convention, had a gold majority. About half the members were absent from the meeting to-day and were represented by silver men, to whom the gold men had given proxies. The silver men supported W. A. Taylor of Columbus; the gold men, J. A. Norton of Tiffin, for chairman. Taylor was elected, receiving 144 votes to 7 for Norton. Taylor is one of the most radical silver men in the state. Preliminary meetings to-night show that silver men have about 600 of the 700 delegates in the convention to-morrow. The Ohio delegation to Chicago probably stand 38 to 8 for free silver. It is not believed the convention will instruct the delegates for president. ### She'll Produce. SanFrancisco, June 23.—Mrs. Nettie Craven, who claims a large slice of the late Senator Fair's $4,000,000 estate, concluded that she did not care to go to jail for contempt of court. Last night she refused to be sworn as a witness in a suit brought against her by the heirs of the Fair estate to compel her to produce all deeds to property and other papers which she may have now in the late Senator Fair's property. Mrs. Craven was cited for contempt of court but was given until to-day to make up her mind. This afternoon she was sworn and was given until Thursday night to produce the papers required. ### Sale of the Tabor Opera House. Denver, June 23.—The Tabor opera house and the Tabor block were sold at auction to-day under foreclosure by the Northwestern Mutual Aid & Life Insurance company of Milwaukee to satisfy a trust deed which, with interest and costs, amounts to $488,143. The company bid in the property for the amount of the claim. The sale is not final, as Mrs. Laura D. Smith, who holds a second trust against the property for $271,000, has obtained an order from the court permitting her to foreclose. To protect her interests she will probably be obliged to buy the property and assume the first trust. Ex-Senator Tabor will have six months to redeem the property. ### Murder and [S]uicide. San Francisco, June 23.—George Stautz, a marine engineer, shot and killed Mrs. Cora Borden in a Polk street lodging house this forenoon and then turned the pistol on himself, sending a bullet into his own brain. Mrs. Mary Barclay, an eye-witness, claims that Stutz called the murdered woman a liar and immediately drew a pistol, firing two shots at the woman, one of which took effect. ### Not So Big as [t]he Silver Wave. Ukiah, Cal., June 23.—Considerable excitement was created on the coast of Mendocino county by the appearance of an immense tidal wave. The swell was seven feet higher than ordinary and washed up Big river with great force but no damage was done. The great wall of water is attributed to a Japanese earthquake. ### Slaughter of the Innocents. Pendleton, Ore., June 23.—Mrs. Haney, the keeper of the section crew boarding car on the O. R. & N. at Rock Springs, Idaho, and her 6-months-old child were shot and killed this morning by a man who was recently discharged from the section. The murderer then committed [s]uicide. It is supposed that he killed the woman for revenge, he believing that she had been instrumental in his discharge. ### Five More [M]ines Stopped. Leadville, Col., June 23.—The [o]nly new development in the strike to-day was the stoppage of five mines which have been paying their men the [p]rice demanded by the strikers, $3 per day. The managers simply laid off their men and closed down for an indefinite period. ### Quay Congratulat[e]s McKinley. Canton, Ohio, June 23.—Governor McKinley received a letter of congratulation to-day from Senator Quay. Great preparations are being made for a big meeting next Saturday night. An effort will be made by Cantonians to secure the presence of Senator Foraker and Congressman Grosvenor. ### Nob[l]es of th[e] [M]ys[t]ic [S]hrine. Cleveland, Ohio, June 23.—The 22d annual session of the imperial council of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine opened here this evening. There are 186 delegates in the imperial council. Harrison Bingham of Washington, D. C., was elected imperial potentate. A charter was granted for a temple at Boise, Idaho. ### 'R[a]h for th[e] [B]lack and O[r]ang[e] New Haven, Conn., June 23.—Yale was defeated by Princeton this afternoon in one of the most exciting ball games ever played on the Yale field. It took 11 innings to decide the contest and the final score was 4 to 3. Subscribe for the Standard. ## Column 4 # HARTMAN WILL COME ## The People of Butte Will Give the. Bolter a .Big Ova[t]ion. # ED BOOTH IS AT CANTON, O. ### They Say He May Be Secretary of the Republican [N]ational Committee and Later United States Dis[t]rict Attorney. Congressman Hartman will arrive in Butte to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock from Bozeman, and the people of the city are making preparations to give the popular silver advocate an ovation. The congressman will be met at the depot with a band and by a number of prominent citizens. The Auditorium has been engaged for the evening and a reception will be tendered him there. Captain H. A. Niedenhofen returned yesterday from St. [L]ouis where he had been assisting the [M]ontana delegates to bolt the republican convention. The captain is suffering from a bad voice, the result of cheering for Teller and silver and explaining why Hartman was the only Montana delegate to walk out of the convention. Mr. Niedenhofen thinks the position taken by Mantle, Carter, Metzel and Marshall was all right and says they are all working to have Teller nominated by the democrats, silverites and populists. They are now in the East for that purpose. Another Montana man who is working in the East, but for a different purpose, is the Hon. Edwin S. Booth. His exact whereabouts are unknown, but he is supposed to be in Canton, Ohio. It is said he has a dead mortal cinch on the secretaryship of the republican national committee, in which responsible position he will do some telling work during the presidential campaign. After the election of McKinley, if that should transpire, Mr. Booth will accept the appointment of United States district attorney for Montana—at least, that is said to be on the programme as at present arranged.
