MONTANA'S FOUR SENATORS. The KnterprlMing Men as to Whoui the National Senate Will l>eclde. Montana being a spirited and ambi tions commonwealth, perched upon the mountain tops, as it were, and dominat ing the headwaters of the Columbia and Missouri, is apparently determined to come into the Union with grand eclat, and has elected four United States sena tors. The simplest statement of the case is that the election of eleven members of the legislature from Silver Bow is in ! dispute—so there are two bodies claim- J ing to be the legal legislature, and each has elected two senators. The United States senate will now have to decide be tween them. William !•'. Sanders, the unanimous choice of the Republicans, is known and noted through t ' lo west as th® / organizer of that yev stern and fearless 7 vigilance c o m - Wk niittee of 1864, -EJ:, which in a short ■ A time cleared Mon- J\ tana of itsswartn- V\ ing "road agents" 1 li ofld other crimi- S? ■' p 7 /' /nals and made it ' V •?"/ one of the most law abiding com- W.

He is a native of New York, but was reared in Ohio, where he st udied law. lie served in the Federal army during the war, and then went to Bannock, Mon., to practice his profession, lie is a fine scholar and very powerful, popular ora tor. Thomas C. Power, his Republican col league, is an lowa man who worked his way through the mountain wilds thirty years ago as a surveyor. After saving some money in that line he became an Indian trader, then a merchant in mining sup plies, and lias literally grown up with the country. His principal stores are at Helena and Fort Benton. He was the Republican candidate for governor last fall, but was defeated by Joseph K. Toole. He is not an orator and not noted as a politician, but represents the heavy business interests of Montana. Martin Maginnis, who may be called the senior Democratic senator chosen, was born in Wayne county, N. Y., in 1840, and in boyhood went with his parents to Minnesota, where he obtained a good education i-Sk-x and became an v editor. He served I through the en- |j| tire war, begin- 17 ning as a private umr'* major, i U-H went .■'*;& QSvlMfljv which six times delegate i i con- \ / v' gress, beginning MARTIN UAQIKNIS. with the Forty third congress. Maj. Maginnis is tlior ouglilv identified with the growth of Montana. Ilis Democratic colleague, W. A. Clarke, jocularly known as one of the "Big Four" of Montana, is a native of Pennsylvania, whence, at the age of 7, he removed to lowa. Working on the farm in summer and teaching school in winter lie earned the means to educate himself, and in 1863 drove a team to Col orado and engaged in mining. In 1868 he went to Ban nock, Mon., f where he pros / pered, and be came one of Mon | j "* Tpf tana's most prom- A inent citizens.

CLARKE. 1884, as well as that of 1889, and has been an active man in all the walks of life. All the four are men of good character and habits, thor oughly representative men of their sec tion, and it may well be said that, no matter how the United States senate de cides, Montana will bo well represented in that body.

TALK WITH A MAN WHO KNOWS ALL ABOUT THE BUSINESS. Steam Han Almost Knocked Oat the Sail maker* — How a Craft Is Fitted Out with a Complement of Sails —Tba Measuring, Ncwing and Fitting:* "Steam, although it hasn't quite knocked out sailmaking, has pretty near ly given the quietus to a once important and money making business," said a well known Bay Ridge sailuiaker. "As long as men use ships and boats so long will there lie sails made, I suppose; but still, for all that, the trade isn't nearly what it used to be. when Atlantic packets and East Indiauien and Pacific coast ships used wind instead of that," and the speaker pointed to a huge ocean steamer which was crawling down the bay, emit ting a huge black cloud from her double funnels. TIMES HAVE CHANGED. "Those were the times," he continued. "A suit of sails for a ship made a big hole in 83.000 or §B,OOO. No voyages were made without tiie sail maker being called into requisition, and wages were high and profits large. But by degrees, as the steamship became the rule and the sailing Hliip the exception, trade grew less and less until at last it is practically confined to small crafts, yachts and sail ing boats. Of course there are some full rigged ships and barks left, but the sails for these are usually made by local mak ers at the places where the crafts are built. And as there is little or no big ship building ill New York, why conse quently there is no uso for the sail milker, at least to any extent." "How do you manage to measure a craft for her sails?" "We take the measurements of the stays or ropes which form the outside edges of tiie sails in some cases, and in others we measure ilie spars upon which they are bent or fastened. With this data and a knowledge of the required swelj or 'belly' of the sail we calculate the dimensions. In the case of a main sail or spanker, for example, we meas ure the guff, boom and mast. Canvas comes in 'bolts' or rolls, eacli containing about forty yards. It is an easy matter from the figures alluded to to ascertain iibw much canvas will lie• required for the complete sail. The,canvas is made of hemp, and is wonderfully strong. It varies in quality from the heaviest and toughest used for the big sails of the largest ships down to the expensive wiiite 'duck' for yachts, of so tine a texture that it can be used bv the yachtsmen for trousers." "How iU> you mature to sew such ma terial?" "There have been sail sewing ma ehiues in use. hut 1 cannot say that they are a success altogether. And so hand sewing is the general rule. We use lor this purpose, as you see, stout twine, which is soaked in tar to prevent its rot ting. hard steel needles of a triangular shape and two to three inches in length, and a 'palm.' This, last is a piece of of leather, or rather several pieces of leather, which covers the palin of the hand and the lower part of the thumb. It has in it, near the hull of the thumb, a piece of steel about the size of a quar ter with a toughened surface. In sew ing the base of needle rests on this steel, and it is then pushed through the can vas. In fact, it acts as a thimble for the sailmaker. "The twine, which is made of soft hemp, comes in 100-yard skeins, and is, after tarring, wound into big balls. One of the first duties of a sailutaker's ap prentice is to 'tar and wind.' " TIIE STITCIIES I'UI.LED "HOME." "It must lie pretty hard work sewing?" "Yes, it is. You see. every stitch has to lie pulled 'home." 1 run my needle through the canvas so. take a turn of the loose twine round the palm, and then with a jerk pull the stitch taut and well into the tough material. When sew ing on the bolt ropes —that is, the ropes which form the outer edges of the many sails —the work is much harder. Then we sew with twine four times doubled, and each stitch is hauled home with a 'lid - —a kind of wooden maiiinspike. When sewing on these ropes each stitch takes up a small portion of the canvas, and tlie result is that when we reached the end of the sail, on the measur ing rule being applied, it is always found that the holt rope is some inches too short. We then belay the edge of the sail between two stout posts, haul it up taut and set a couple of boys 'danc ing' on the rope; they maintain their balance on it by catching hold of ropes suspended from the beams overhead, in a few minutes they stretch the rope, and with it the sail to the desired length. Sometimes, and especially in cold weath er, this shrinkage will amount to a foot or more. Then all hands are set to work 'dancing,' and it may he a matter of a half an hour before the rope is stretched to the length required." "How do you manage to get those iron rings at the corners of that jib into the loop of rone which holds them so snug ly?" "Those are what we call ear rings. We fix tliem so. The rope is opened by means of a heavy 'fid,' and is beaten down to a point of the fid corresponding in size to the diameter of the ear ring. When the lid is reversed the loop is struck off, luid before it has time to shrink up the ear ring is thrust inside of it. In a second or so the loop contracts tightly round the ear ring—so tightly that there is little danger of its ever coming out again. These small rings here are called grummets. They are made by twisting a rope yarn and are used for sewing on to the holes through which the reef points go on a 6ail."— Brooklyn Times. A Useful Present. Mrs. Jobbs —What on earth is that?

Brice, whose senatorial con test in Ohio lias been attracting so much attention, is now about 45 years old. He was born in Denmark, 0., and is the son of a Presbyterian minister. Oxford, 0., is the place where his head was filled with Latin and Greek, and among the professors tliero at the time was David Swing, now the eminent clergyman and author, of Chicago. With such a teacher voung Brice had as good a chance as he could have desired to make something of himself. While he was at Oxford Mr. Briee took the war fever and went out with a six months regiment. He was only a boy, and when the time of his regiment was up lie went to Lima, O. There he was offered a position as deputy auditor of Allen county, provided lie would stump the state for Vallandigham. Bricc's handling of the problem was very hoylike. He spoke for Vallan -- diglutm, drew /' .V'^sSSII pay as county officer and a >spw few months af -7", \ "W tcrward went fc r'rtpflltl, back into the - army. He or- BRICE AND HIS LIMA RESIDENCE. ganized a company of the One Hundred and Eighth Ohio volunteer infantry, which lie commanded as captain, and at the close of the war came out a lieu tenant colonel. At tlioclose of the war lie returned to Lima and taught school, and then stud ied law, practiced a few years and then took a wife. He made money at the law, and in about live years after lie be gan to practice organized the Lima Gas works. His operations in the stock of the company made him rich and then ho went to railroading. After some pre liminary operations lie built the cele brated Nickel Plate road. He went into the scheme with W. B. Howard, and after building the road they sold it out to William H. Vanderbilt. After the sale there was a nice little balance of $18,100,000. and this balance the men met in March 25, 1888, in New York and divided among them. Brice, who had put in nothing, drew out $1,000,000, and W. B. Howard, who had discovered the financier in the Ohio county barrister, drew out $8,000,000, besides his profits in the firm of Brown, Howard &Co. In a little less than two years thus Mr. Brice went from poverty to affluence. Then, as most western millionaires do, j he drifted to New York. He took a ! house on Fifth avenue, near Vander- j bilt's, and at one time rented James Gor don Bennett's villa at Newport. It is said that he had aspirations to join Ward McAllister's social battalion of 400, but senatorial aspirations came up, and he was obliged to choose between being a small toad in the "battalion" or a big toad in Washington. No one yet has ac cused him of a want of wisdom in his decision. He has been put forward by the Democrats of Ohio for the senator-! ship now held by Ilenry B. Payne, whose .term of office expires March 3, 1891. BP.KE'S NEW YORK HOME. It luts been said of Mr. Briee that he is keen, of nervous temperament nnd pene trating eye. He is charming in conver sation. and in congenial company easts o!T all reserve and engages in. the sport of theneen.-ion with great zest lie has never had much experience in politics, but is expert in executive work, nnd will, unless all signs fail, prove an efficient party manager. He has great power in the consolidation of big properties. If lie lives twenty years longer, he will he the richest man in the United States. His properties at present are supposed to be worth $30,000,000. If tliey were sold out under the ham mer they would in all probability not bring more than three or four million dollars, hut if Mr. Brice should take an office and devote five years to closing out his property he would have, no doubt, at least $30,000,000. He has railroad inter ests all over the United States and in Canada, and he is building considerable in the northwest and in New Mexico. Still he is now only 42 years old. and he has made all of this in the last decade, lie had nothing to start with, and his success is the result of brains and push. Singular. "Well, Bill, the number of obstinate people in the world—downright pig headed folks—is just incredible. Do you know there's a fellow that's had my brand new winter overcoat ever so long, and I can't get it away from him?" "Who is it?"
