UNDER A MOVING TRAIN.

Thrilling Adventure or BrakemanStager at Morrlstown.

One railroad man who Is surprised tofind himself alive today 1B FrederickStager, brakeman on the 9.40 M. & E. trainto New YorK. The train arrives at Morris-town at 10.10. Tuesday morning at Mor-rlstown there was some' drilling aroundbefore starting again and henoe Mr.Stager's remarkable and almost unparalleled accident. The train was runninginto the station at a lively rats and Stager,being a nimble fellow, stepped to the platform to be In readiness to help passengersaboard. This was before the train stopped,

In Btepplng off, his foot struck somethingslippery and he fell, rolling oft the stationplatform and under the moving train.No one expected to see Stager emerge alivefrom'under that train, But he did, andwith but sllghji Injuries. Several truckspassed over him and took most of hiB oloth-Ing along with them; but Steger Is stir-ring around today and expeots to live along time. He was a little sliakon up, andhis head was out aTtrlflo.

With this experience to his credit Stagerbids defiance to fate. The feat of tho rabbitdog, whloh turned a somersault throughthe driving wheels of the Chicago Limited,pales into a small Incident compared withStager's adventure.

MANILA, Jan, 2,—Tbe firBt movementot n general southern advance occurredyeBtcrduy morning, when two battalionsof the Thirty-ninth infantry landed amr

occupied Cubuyao, on the south side oi

killed, and four were wounded, Twenty-four of the enemy's dead were found inone house. One hundred and fifty prison-ers and four 0 pounder rapid fire gunswere captured. Three Filipino officersalso surrendered to Major March andtwo American and two Spanish prison-ers.

The gunboat Lligunn do Bay bombard-ed.the town before the disembarkation ofthe troops from the cascocs, which wasmode under the enemy's shrapnel fire.The enemy evneunted the plnce beforethe charging Americans, retreating toSanta Itosu, to which town they werepursued. Heavy fighting occurred alongthe ruad to Santa Itosn, which was occu-pied by the insurgents retreating southtoward Silang. The Americans burnedthe country between and around Cu-buyno.

Aguilmldo'e wife, sisters'and 18 Fili-pinos have surrendered to Major March'ibattalion of the Thirty-third infantry atBontoc, province of that name.

It was announced from Manila Dec.23 that Colonel Wilder Borne time previous to Dec. 15 or perhaps that day hadtelegraphed to Vigan from Bayombongthat Aguinaldo, with a number of Igorro-ti litter bearers, had crossed the moun-tains near Bayombong, going southward,,null that hla.wife hfcd died in a village in'that vicinity. It was added that she had'been unwell since.the'-birth of their Bonand that the 'hardship ot their flightproved fatal. • .

A naval officer who has arrived herefrom Guam brings a proclamation.issuedby Captain Leary; naval governor ofthat island, decreeing the absolute prohi-bition and total abolition of slavery, orpeonage, the order taking effect Feb. 22.

Tbe prologue of the proclamation de-clnreB that the Spanish system of peon-age, amounting to slavery, 1B a menace topopular liberty and a violation of theprivileges guaranteed by the Americanconstitution.

Captain Leary also deported all theSpanish priests for reasons which weresufficient for him,

FILIPINO PLOT FAILS.

An Insurrection, Aided by Bombs,Hatched In Jlnnlln.

MANILA, Jnn. 1.—Pour explosivebombs, a few firearms and 500 rounds ofammunition were discovered in a housein tbe center of Manila while the policewere seeking Becartc, the insurgent lead-er, who was said to have come to Manilain tbe hope of electing an outbreak bytaking advantage of the mobilization ofthe American troops at General Law-ton's funeral.- It has developed that the plot includedthe throwing of bombs among tbe for-eign consuls attending the ceremony Inorder to bring about international com-plications. These, it seems, were tohave been thrown from the Escoltn's Ughblllldiugs, but the avoidance of the 15B-colta by the funeral procession spoiledthe plan.

The populace, It is thought, bad beenprepared for the attempt by a rumor cir-culated widely among the natives thatAguinaldo was in Manila and. would per-sonally lead the outbreak. The Ameri-can authorities, having been advised ofwhat was brewing, prepared for. all con-tingencies.

A MASHER OP LONG AGO.

Huge Joke Flayed by .Ins. A. Goodaloon a Newton MUBIO Teacher.

[Sussex Register.]Tbereare some practical jokeB that are

enjoyed by all except the unhappy victim,and there are others that even the victimcan enjoy, at leaBt when tbe rough edgehas worn off. In the first mentioned olassmay be elted one related by Dr. J, S. New-man.

Away book In the sixties there used tovisit Newton a certain muslo teacher Inhis own opinion he was about the limit ofperfection in man, however other men didsbare bis views.. He wore fanoy olotbes,a profusion of jewelry, parted bis hah: Intbe middle and let the looks grow long,lie »1BO Imagined that he WM a ruthlessdestroyer ot the female heart and his con-stant babble was about girls. He was con-tinually on the lookout for some womanof beauty, backed up by a sufficient oaBhcapital, whom he would graolouslyoonde-soend to make his wife. While then, asnow, the Newtnn girls possessed more thanan average percentage of good looks, noneof them had tbe proper combination ofbeauty and shekels to suit this chump,

t fven supposing tave noticed hts oWh O K F

pthat any of them wouldffer,

t

Mr. B. J. Sohwarz, on being questioned said, that this was tbe beginning of whatwas intended to be one of the finest and largest hide and tallow warehouses in theEast, and If the hide buelneBS continued as it had for the paBt year, this would be oneof Dover's most prominent business Institutions. This week buBlneas would begreatly retarded by the delay in shipments and lack of facilities for handling tbe goods;also, the offices not being in shape, owing to a want of heat, has been a great handicap,

In about ten days Mr. Sohwarz thought everything aronnd the factory would be Inrunning ordor, and his business would be in proper shape, which he outlined as follows:

Mr. K. J, Sohwarz will personally take tbe road with several competent assistant!as buyers, nnd hides of all descriptions will be gathered through the different itates,from tbe butchers, paokers and dealers, which together'wlth others from the South andEurope, will be sent to Dover. Here they will be unloaded at the warehouse, wherea number of men, In oharge ot a competent foreman from Philadelphia, will make aproper selection and put them in shape to DB most conveniently used by the tanners,

The different tanners use aertaln grades of hldeB for their respective leathers, I. e.,she patent leather tanner UBOB one grade; tho some is true of the sole, laoe, harness, beltand Imitation calf skin tanners, .

The tanneries of today are immense corporations with large capacities for tanning,some using as many as 6,000 hides per week. Tho most serlouB difficulty for them Isto get the grade ot hides best adapted for the leather they make, In quantities, nndx

herein will be the Importance of the Dover warehouse w^toh, being 80x160 feet, willgive the necessary space for an immense business.

The head of the enterprise, Mr, E. J. Sohwarz, is known to be the youngest, as weljas the most promising bide dealer In tbe East, having had oharge of the buying forthe firm of Jacob Stern & Son, of Philadelphia, for live yean, they being the largesgeneral dealers In the United Slates. He will be assisted by his brother, Irving E,Sohwarz, who will be general superintendent.

We tender our best wishes and hope Mr. Sohwarz will have the success whloh he Wwell merl s in this undertaking.

ave noticed hts ffe,Where O. K. Foster now keeps a store

was a druggist named James A. Goodale,and underneath was a saloon kept by LD. Demerest. The muslo teacher used togo. to Goodale's and Inhumanly torturehim with endless gush about the fair sexThe druggist became frightfully tired ofIt and one day said to tbe love lorn loon:- " Say, that fellow Demorest, down stairs,

has a ptebe over In Warwick that wouldjust suit you. She's as pretty as a pictureand the family has dead loads of money.If you ask him he might give you a letterof introduction to her."

Tbe suggestion was acted upon and the

oblige. Armed with a most flattering In-troductory missive the raUBlo teacherstarted for Orange county the next morn-ing, olad In his finest ralnment and driv-ing tbe very best rig that Nowton couldBiipply. No doubt that romantlo dreamsof love and conquest filled bis bead as liedrove along. In the course of the day hearrived in Warwick and after patting upat the hotel made some preliminary In-quiries of the landlord.

" Oo you know where Miss Fanny Dem-erest lives f" he asked.

"Certainly," answered the hotel man," Come out here. There; do you see thathouse over yonder against the hlllf That'sthe place."

That Bhanty,• there must be some mis-take." •

No, that's the family mansion; onlylady of that name in town."

"But you must be wrong; what kind ofa lady Is this M lss Demerest r"

" well, as far as loan say," said the land-lord, "she is sixty-four years old andblaoker than a crew."

The gay Lothario had a dismal driveback to town and when be dropped in toohastlse the sluf nl beer sllnger he sudden-ly found himself looking into the businessend of a big none pistol and heard the jeersof the gang that was in waiting to see thefinish, He left town tbe next day andNewton never saw him again,

The strong point of the old-fashionedtraining was the stress laid upon moral- •ity ami virtue. "Be good and you'llbe happy," was the common precept setbefore the growing child. But as thegirl grew up to maidenhood she wasoften sorely puzzled to reconcile thosepast teachings •with her present condi-tion. She was good. Her soul waspure as the lillies of her garden. Herheart was undefiled. Ana yet she wasdesperatly unhappy by reason of physi-cal ailments common to women.

JAPANESE MOCHI MAN.He I» the Santa Clana of Japan nnd" . Appears on Neiv Yeai-'i,

The great event of the New Year Istlio arrival of. the mochl man, who Is atolerably fair substitute for SantaOlauo. His coming Is quite as myste-rious also, as no child knows whencehe comes or where he goeB. However,at some Lour of the day or night beforethe let of January hn arrives, not withthe jingle of slclghbells or the clatterof noisy hoofs upon the roof, for a Jap-anese house Is chlmneylcss. -Thereforethe mochl man Is obliged to enterthrough the shoji (paper windows),which he does so openly nnd BO vaunt-lugly as to do away with all that fas-cinating unreality that In Its Investi-ture of our king of the holiday revelsIs so precious to the little ones. Never-theless tlie children go to bed at theappointed hour New "Year's eve, andthe little bias eyes try to go to sleep,but instead of reaching the "Land ofNod" the small people usually arriveat "Wldeawokeville."

At last the mochl man announces bispresence by dashing a heaping handfulof rice and beans Into the face of thesupposed to be sleeping child, and thisIs the signal for a midnight frolic. Thethrowing of rice and beans at this hourand upon this occasion has been con-sidered from time Immemorial a desireon the part of the thrower to expressthree wishes for the good of the re-ceiver. These wishes are respectivelythat he may have good luck aud hap-piness UJB coming year and that hemay be at "outs" wfth the onl (devil)—far from Inappropriate symbolisms tobe woven Into a Nnw Year's greeting.

The moelil man always brings withhim an infectiously cheery confusionof earthen cooking stoves antl earthenvessels to boll niocbl In. This tooth-some edible Is mixed, boiled, stirred,cooled and stuffed before the very eyesof the youngsters, and Qualiy It Isevolved Into a glutinous rice cake. Inthe beginning of Its preparation, which

somewliat complicated, It Is workedabout In a wooden bowl, with a.bam-boo stick until It looks much like strain-ed honey. AH this Is aggrnxatlnglysweet to the nostrils of the onlookers,who can scarcely wait, until the moehiman treats them. Uennwlillo this pa-tron saint creates much laughter by hisfunny antics and beguiles the waitingtime with still funnier stories of NewYear's when be was a little lad.

needs and requirements of the body.All its effort was to guide the heart andmind. The body- might stumble alonganyhow, and it generally did.

Many a sweet-faced, niodest>mtudedyoung girl has bud her first doubts of'the goodness of Providence come inthrough the door of physical suffering.

"why must I suffer in this way?" sheasks, " Why does my back ache, my headthrob and my side pain, so that I amfain to creep away into a darkenedroom and forego the pleasures "whichbelong to my season of life?"

as a rule to these questions. The youngwoman looks around and sees scoreB ofsimilar sufferers. She is' told it is a partof the burden laid upon women, and sheshapes her shoulders to her heavy load.

This is all a mistake. Proper train-ing, proper physical care would xnabytimes prevent these miserable condi-tions. But In any case, however dis-tressing the present condition, it can becured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favor-ite Prescription, if it is a disease curableby medicine.

"I write a few lines to thank you foryour advice and' grand remedies, towhich I owe my health, and perhapsmy life," says Hiss Flora I. Greer, of107 Howe Street, Akron, Ohio. '.'Mytrouble started during my childhood,but did not prove serious until -1893,when I met with an accident caused byahorse running away. From that timeI did not see a well day. I suffered atevery monthly period with terribleheadache, irritation of the spine andpains in my heels so I could not bearthem resting on the softest pillow.What I suffered pen could never de-scribe. I had soreness through myhips and ovaries all the time and con-stant backache. Was afraid to be alone,imagined that every one hated me, andeverything looked, like a mountain.One doctor would tell me one thingailed me, another would say: somethingaltogether different, but they only re-Sieved me. I then wrote you in April,

UNDER A MOVING TRAIN.

Thrilling; Adventure of BrakemanStager at Morrlacown.

One railroad man who 1B surprised tofind himself alive today Is FrodorlokStager, brakeman on the 9.40 M. & E. trainto New YorK. The train arrives at Morrletownatin.10. Tuesday morning atMorristown there was some' drilling aroumbefore starting again and hence Mr,Stager's remarkable and almost unparalleled acoident. The train was runningInto the station at a lively rate and Stager,being a nimble fellow, stepped to the platform to be in readiness to helppassengersaboard. This was before the train stopped.

In stepping off, his foot struck somethingslippery and he fell, rolling off tbe stationplatform and under the moving train.No one expected to see Stager emerge alivefrom'under that train. But he did, andwith but sllghji Injuries. Several trnokspassed over him and took most of his clothIng along with them; but Stsger is stir-ring around today and expeots to live alpDg time. He was a little shaken up, andhis head was cue a trifle.

With this experience to his credit StagerbidsdeSanoo to fate. The feat of tbo rabbitdog, whlob turned a somersault throughthe driving wheels of tbe Chicago Limited,pales into a small incident compared withStager's adventure.

CABUVAO CAPTURED.

Americana Begin a General South*e m Advance.

MANILA, 'Jan. 2.—The first movementof a general southern advance occurredyesterday morning, when two battalionsof the Thirty-niuth infantry landed aniloccupied Cabuyao, on the south side olLnguna. dtkJ3ar. Two-°A.meni«riis*nkilled, and four were wounded. * - Twenty1

four of the enemy's dead were found inone house. One hundred and fifty prison-ers and four 0 pounder rapid lire gunswere captured. Three Filipino officersalso surrendered to Major March andtwo American and two Spanish prison-ers.

The gunboat Laguna de Buy bombard-ed the town before the disembarkation ofthe troops from the caticoes, which wasmade under tbe enemy's shrapnel fire.The enemy evacuated the place'beforethe charging Americans, retreating toSanta Hosa, to which town they werepursued. Heavy fighting occurred alongthe road to Santa llosa, which was occu-pied by tbe insurgents retreating southtoward Silang. The Americans burnedthe country between and 'around Cabuyao.

Aguinaldo's wife, sisters'and 18 Fillplnos have surrendered to llnjor March'sbattalion of the Thirty-third Infantry atBontoc, province of that name.

It was announced from Manila Dec.23 that Colonel Wilder some time previOUB to Dec. 15 or perhaps that day hadtelegraphed to VIgan from Bayombongthat Agiiinnldo, with a number of Igorro-ti litter bearers, had crossed the mountains near Bayombong, going southward,,and that his wife had died ill a village Inthat' vicinity. It was added that she had'been unwell eipce.tjie'-blrth of their sonand that the hardships of their flightproved fatal. .

A naval officer who has arrived herefrom Guam brings a proclamation issuedby Captain Leary, naval governor ofthat Island, decreeing tbe absolute prohlbition and total abolition of slavery, orpeonage, tbe order taking effect Feb. 22.

The prologue of the proclamation de-clares that the Spanish system of peon-age, amounting to slavery, is a menace topopular liberty and a violation of theprivileges guaranteed by the Americanconstitution.

Captain Leary also deported all theSpanish priests for reasons which weresufficient for him.

FILIPINO PLOT FAILS.

An Insurrection, Aided by Bombs,Hatched In Manila.

MANILA, Jan. 1.—Four explosivebombs, a few firearms and 500 rounds ofammunition were discovered in a houseIn the center ot Manila while the policewere seeking Recarte, the insurgent lead-er, who was said to have come to Manilain the hope of effecting an outbreak bytaking advantage ot the mobilization ofthe American troops at General Law-ton's funeral.

It has developed that the plot Includedthe throwing of bombs among the for-eign consuls attending the ceremony inorder to bring about International com-plications. These, it seems, were tohave been thrown from the Escolta's highbuildings, but the avoidance of the EB-colta by the funeral procession spoiledthe plan.

The populace, It 1B thought, had been.prepared for the attempt by a rumor cir-culated widely among the natives thatAguinaldo was In Manila oad. would per-sonally lead the outbreak. The Ameri-can authorities, having been advised otwhat was brewing, prepared for.all con-tingencies.

A MASHER OF LONG AGO.

uffe Joke Played by Jas. A. Gooduloon u Newton Muslo Teacher.

[Basses Register-.]There are some practical jokes tbat are

enjoyed by all except tbe unhappy vlotlm,and there are others that even the vlotlmoan enjoy, at least when the rough edgehas worn off. In the first mentioned olassmay be olted one related by Dr. J. S. New-man,

Away baok In the sixties there used tovisit Newton a certain muslo teaoher Inhis own opinion he waB abont the limit ofperfection In man, however other men didshare his views.. Be wore fanoy clothes,a profusion of Jewelry, parted bis hair Inthe middle' and let the looks grow long.He also Imagined that he was a ruthlessdestroyer of the female heart and his con-stant babble was abont girls. He was con-tinually on the lookout for some womanof beauty, baoked up by a sufficient cashcapital, whom he would graciously conde-scend to make his wife. 'While then, asnow, the Newton girls possessed more thanan average percentage of good looks, noneof them had the proper combination ofbeauty and shekelB to suit this chump,even supposing that any of them wouldhave noticed his offer.

Where O. K. Foster now keeps a storewas a drngglst named James A, Qooitle,and underneath was a saloon kept by L.D, Demerest. The music teaoher used togo to Goodate'H and Inhumanly torturefilm with endless gush about the fair sex.The drngglst became frightfully tired ofItand one day Bald to tbe love lorn loon:

" Say, that fellow Demorest, down stairs,basanleoe over in Warwick that wouldjust suit you, She's as pretty as a plotureand the family has dead loads of money.If you ask him he might give you a letterof Introduction to her."

The suggestion was acted upon and theiloon man was found perfectly willing to

oblige. Armed with a most nattering in-troductory mlsslvo the muBlo teacherstarted for Orange oounty the next morn-ing, clad In his finest ralntnent and driv-ing tbe very best rig that Newton couldsupply, No doubt that romantlo dreamsof love and conquest filled his head as hedrove along. In the course of the day hearrived In WsrwIoK and after putting upnt the hotel made some preliminary in-quiries of the landlord,

" Do you know where Miss Fanny Dem-eroBt lives f" he asked.

"Certainly," answored the hotel man,Come out here. There; do yon ecu tbat

bouse over yonder against the hill P That'sthe plaoe,"

That shanty: there must be some mis-take.". •

No, that'r the family mansion; onlylady ot that name In town."

" But you must be wrong; what kind ofa lady Is this Miss Demerest f"

Well, as far as I can say," said the land-lord, "she Is sixty-four years old andblaoker than a orow."

The gay Lothario had a dismal driveback to town and when he dropped In tochastise tbe sinful beer Bllnger he sndden-ly found himself looking into the businessend ofa big horae pistol and heard toe jeersof the gang tbat was In waiting to Bee thefinish, He left town the next day andNewton never saw him again.

DOVER'S NEW ENTERPRISE.The Opening of the Old Dynamo Works After un Idleness of Ten Years firings)

Additional Promtsn of u Prosperous Year for Hover.

The sight of smoke Tuesday morning coming from the staok of the old DynamoWorks, on Richards avenue, whiob has been lying Idle for the last ten years, was apleasing and welcome Bight to the pasaora-by, and It prompted the curiosity of a JOUR-NAL reporter to no down and investigate.

On the inside of the building hustle and bustle was on every hand. Tbree oifour men were engaged in replacing hundreds of small panes of glass tbat had beenbroken by inlBchlevous boys, a painter or two could be seen here and there, while anumber of machinist? were engaged in piping the building and once more getting thesteam pump In readiness to druw water. Five men were emtaged in weighing andsorting hides, while two more were oartlng the hides Into the building from tbe carson the switch running in from the Central Hallroud. Hides and tallow were piledhigh In different ports of the building. In charge of all this activity were MeBsrs, B,J. Sohwarz and Irving E Sohwarz, two of our young townsmen,

r .,A~™"A£<m^xi:.i:.llt ~-2jJj__ '"" 'f^A

Mr. E. J. Sohwarz, on beiug questioned said, tbat this was the beginning of whatwas Intended to be one of tbe finest and largest hide and tallow warehouses in theEast, and if the bide business continued as it had for tbe past year, this would be oneof Dover's most prominent business Institutions. This week business would begreatly retarded by tbe delay In shipments and laok of faotlltles for handling the goods;also, the offices not being In shape, owing to a want of heat, has been a great handicap.

In about ten days Mr. Sohwarz thought everything around the factory would be inrunning order, and his business would be in proper Bhape, whloh he outlined as follows:

Mr. E. J, Sobwarz will personally take tbe road with several oorupotent assistant!as buy«rs, and hides of all descriptions will be gathered through the different states,from the butohers, paokers and dealers, which together'wlth others from tbe South andEurope, will be sent to Dover. Here they will be unloaded at tbe warehouse, whena number of men, In charge of a competent foreman from Philadelphia, will make aproper selection and put them in shape to be most conveniently used by the tanners',

The different taoners use certain grades of hides for their respective leathers, i, e.,the patent leather tanner uses one grade; the.same Is true of tbe sole, lace, harness, beltand Imitation calf skin tanners, .

The tanneries of today are Immense corporations with large capacities for tanning,iome using as many as 6,000 hides per week. The most serious difficulty for them ifto get the grade of hides best adapted for tbe leather they make, In quantities, and Nherein will be the Importance of the Dover warehouse "whloh, being 80x160 feet, willgive the necesBary spaoe for an immense business.

The head of tbo enterprise, Mr. K. J. Sobwarz, Is known to be the yontgest, at wellA the most promising hide dealer In the Bast, having had oharge of the baying totihe firm of Jacob Stern & Son, of Philadelphia, for Sve yean, they being the Iargesgeneral dealers In the United States, He will be assisted by his brother, Irving K,Sohwarz, who will be general superintendent.

Wo tender our best wUhes and hope Mr. Sohwarz will have the suooesi wbloh he sowell merl. s In this undertaking.

"A—lodger?" - repeated Miss Ires."This isn't a lodging house, man alive]"

"Ycs'm—I'm quite aware of that,"said Israel, meekly. "And where no of-fense is intended, it's hoped as none wilibe took. But, knowing as you was alontand unprotected—"

"I don't know what you call unpro-tected," brusquely interrupted MissIves. "I've got a loaded gun and a EIgallon kettle of boiling water here."

"And," mildly went on Israeljenkins,"this 'ere gentleman, a Mr. Murshall,ofAlabama, wanted a pleasant lodging inthe neighborhood, which meals could betook at the Toplady Arm—though ourapartments is all occupied with the gen-try as come to fish and shoot, throughOctober—and November—and it mightbe a consolation to you, Miss Ives, tohave a gentleman about tbe premises.'1

Mr. Marshall proved himself a quietand peaceable member of the littlehousehold. He liked dogs, and allowedMiss Ives' King Charles spaniel iosleep, undisturbed,, amid the papers onhis table.

He was partial to birds, and enteredat once Into the most friendly of alli-ances with the parrot and the macaw,He grafted Mtss Isidore's orange treefor her, and showed her a new way totrain her wax plants.

And at the end of four weeks Miss Is!doro put into execution a plan whichshe hud long been forming,

"Mr. Marshall," sue said, "it's a greatdeal of trouble for you to go three timesa day tramping down that long bill tothe Toplady Arms and back again. Youare no longer a stranger to us here. Wehave learned to respect anil trust you,If you choose to take your meals withUB here, I shall be quite willing to sub-mit you to my frugal table, as a friend,"

Mr. Marshall's countenance changedoddly, He mode a curious sound in histhroat aB if he were swallowing some-thing.

"Miss Isidora," he said, "1 can't.""Can't!" repeated the lady."Nothing could induce me to cat salt

under this roof," said Mr. Marshall, in-coherently.

"Bless and save us! IB the man mad ?"cried Miss Isidora Ivcs.

"I am, socially speaking, a fraud,"said the stranger, "a forgery."

Miss Ives sat down on the sofa In ahelpless way and stared at him.

"But your sweet graciousness andkindness have conquered me," addedMr. Marshall.

"What do you mean?" said Miss Ives."Just this," said the stranger. "I am

here on false pretenses. I urn yourcousin, the plaintiff, My name isn'tMarshall, but Gideon Marshall liobln-son,"

"Ma'am," whispered tbe heartlessmoid, who turned absolutely green onhearing the name of the family enemy,"shall I bring the kettle of boiling wa-ter?"

"llebecca," says Miss Ives, "hold yourtongue and go out and feed the youngturkeys. I am fully competent to man-age this matter myself."

And liebecca, feeling herself putdown, departed.

"I came here," went onMr. Robinson,to look into the facts of the case my-

self. I have heard of your prejudicesagainst me—"

'Yes, I think so," interposed MissIves.

"And I do not blnme you for them,'.':id Mr. Robinson. "Now that I am

personally acquainted with you, MissIves, nothing could Induce me to pros-ecute this—"

"Iniquitous clalml" Interposed Isi-dora.

"Iniquitous claim," acceded Mr. Rob-nson, witli a repetition of the swallow-ng sound. "Just whnt you please to

call it. I respect you as a lady, but I op-precinteyoi! ns a relative; but, of course,snowing who I am, you cannot tolerateme any longer as jour friend. I willpack my bag nnd depart at once. 1 cannly feel regretful that I have deceivedon so long. I feel myself to be a tiypo-

ide of MissMdora's curbed wrath. Sheput out her plump little hand, with fourdimples in the four joints.

"There's no reason why we.shouldn'tbe friends," said Miss Ives, in her odd,brusque way. "Things seem so verydifferent, now that we are acquaintedwith each other. Couldn't we—compro-miser .:•.':: :

Isidore," said Mr, Robinson, "we'recousins, you.know, twice removed. Imay call you Isidora?"

"Oh, certainly I" Bald Miss Ivcs."We are the two last seeming heirs."

|i. "Plaintiff and defendant," nodded Isl-'doro. . •:. "Exactly so. Now It has just occurred:o me—I mean, I've been thinking of Itor some time—that if we were able tounite our claims—"

"To get married, do you mean?" Bald:idora, bluntly."Yes, precisely. It would put on end

to all litigation," pleaded Marshall Itob-inson.. "Would you be willing to marryme?" Bald Mr. Gideon Marshall Robin-son,

"Y-yesI" said Isidora. "I think Ishould. I'm not' ydung, but then six-and-thtrty is cot absolutely old."'"You are a rose In full bloom," said

Mr. Robinson, enthusiastically, "and Imyself am not a mere boy, it must beremembered.''.;

"And If people should laugh at us,why, we'll let them laugh," said Isidora.

"And.we'll laugh, too,'! said the mid-dle-aged lover, cheerfully.

[Special Correspondence.]ATIONS as well as individualssometimes get sick of a bar-gain. When, in 1889, repre-

sentatives of Great Britain, Germanyand the United States met at Berlinand the three nations formed anagreement for the government of theSamoan Islands, it was supposed bythe plenipotentiaries who drew up thecontract tbat-they had accomplishedan enduring task and that the neu-trality of the group would be main*tatned for all time to come.

Hut the old adage that too manycooks spoil the broth held good Inthis instance, as it has in other inter-national cases where two or threegovernments have attempted to gov-ern jointly territory which eachwanted to annex to its own domains.No end of trouble arose aa soon as thetripartite administration went intoeffect, the climax of affairs occurringlast April when the Germans attempt-ed to seat a king on ' the Samoanthrone whose election had been de-clared illegal by the chief justice ofthe Islands, on American namedChambers.

American and British Bailors werelanded at Apia, the principal seaportof the island group, and in n .brushwith the natives some of our ownmen and quite a number of English-men were killed. Germany resentedthe landing of armed white men andfor a time it looked as though wemight have another international waron our hands. Wise counsel, however,prevailed and resulted in the estab-lishment of an international commis-sion, which met at Apia and read-justed affairs. The kingship was doneaway with and the official duties ofconsuls, administrators and the chiefjustice were clearly denned.

llnid upon these pro/caU enme theofficial:announcement that' the tlireonations had mutually agieed to ter-minate tho piotcctoidtc, the Unitedbtntes. taking the island of Tutuilnand adjoining small inlands, and Ger-many annexing the principal islaud oftlpolu, on which the town of Apia Islocated, the large island of Savii andall the smaller islands adjoining thotwo larger ones. Great Britain, inconsideration of concessions from Ger-man} in other parts of the Pacific,consents to withdraw entirely fromSamoa. This arrangement Is said tobe entirely satisfactory to PresidentMcKinley and his advisers, and assoon, as the United States senate shallhave ratified tho • new treat} theSaoioan kingdom will hate passed outof existence.

The Samoan Islands were formerlyknown us Navigators' islands. They.'*? situated in the South Pacificocean, and axe mostly of volcanic or-igin. The principal islands, as alreadystated, nro Savli, ITpolu and Tutuiln.Tho leading exports are copra, cottonand coffee, the trade in these commod-itlcs'belng- chiefly in German and Brit-ish hands. Samoa was explored byBougainville In 17CS. and Christianitywas introduced in 1330. In 1872 theharbor of Pango-Pango was grantedto the United States as. a coaling sta-tion; and it was on account of thisgrant that tbo American governmentbecame a party to the Berlin conven-tion of 1380. The only important his-toric Incident connected with Amer-ican endeavor la the Islands Is thegreat hurricane of Mareh IS and 10,1889, when the United States war-ships NIpsic, VaniiaUa and Trenton-were driven ashore, together with-three German vessels., The-AmerlcanlosswasSO men, the German tasuslties•beingBO. All the ships were completelywrecked. The only warshlp'saved wasa British cruiser which steamed out oftherti&rbor «f Apia amid the cheers ofthe American tars who, although In amoat critical position, could not berestrained ;f>oin applauding the pluckof the, mire fortunate Britons.< The total area of the Samoan groupis 1.701 square miles, of which th«United Stntfe it ill nnnet 384 squaremiles; and out of a-total populationof W.0OB about 5,30e will become dt-

pendents of our government. Tutulla,the largest of the American islands,contains £40 square miles, but is ofespecial value to us because it hasthe only safe harbor in that part ofthe world. In fnct, Pango-Pango en-joys, among mariners, the reputationof being the only place in the vastPacific whose harbor IB large anddeep enough to afford a safe refugeto the most formidable fleet of mod-ern ironclads, the harbor proper be-ing from 100 to 200 feet deep, and 18feet deep up to the very head of thebay. The harbor of Apia, the seat ofthe German government, is treacher-ous and Ul-protecled against the trop-ical BtormB which sometimes devas-tate the islands.

Theotherislands which the partitionhas added to our colonial empire are

THE BEAUri OP TUTD1LA.Manua, which has an area of about100 square miles; Olosenga, contain- 'ing 24 square miles; Annu, containing10 square miles; Ofu, also 10 squaremiles in extent, and Hose Island, 75miles further to the east. The latterB a worthless coral strip, circular in

form, three miles in diameter, sur-rounded by a reef, and uninhabited.Tutuila has a population of 3,700,which it supports in'magnificent idle-ness. Its soil is exceedingly rich, andeven with the present crude methodBof cultivation the Islaud produces im- Imense crops of coffee, cotton, ginger,'cn&tor oil beans and arrowroot. Itslocation, 1,900 .miles southwest of theHawaiian.islands, places it in the di-rect path of ships sailing from Hono-.'(lulu to Auckland, New Zealund, andSouth Australian ports, and nearly in fcthe path of vessels plying between thePlilllppines'aiid the proposed Nieara-guan ship canal. Foi the latter rea-1son Tutuila, although a compaiatlve-\y small possession, !B of more realstrategic value to the United Stateshan would he one of the largerstands. Pnngo-Pango—some call it'ago-Pagoi-has been known fromimc Immemorial as the lendczvous of

the war canoes of the Samoan''na»tives; and in a few yenis the tem-lorary coaling station already estnb-ished there -will, it is Bale to pietiiet,

be one of the mo.st important dockingitations of \he United States navy.

The bits of land here described comento our possession without u war ofcouquest and "without consent of thegoveriftd." Whether the nntives, who

Malay-Polynesians of the purestype, will submit without a struggle to

assimilation remains to be seen, al-hoiigh travelers familiar with their

disposition assert that such mill be thecase, The Tuluilnns'hnvehitheitobeeugoverned by hereditary chief? who arcthoroughly independent of the tworojnl houses of Malietoa and Tupea,•whose followers caused(so much blood-shed in and mound Apia Ostensiblymost of the natives^are Clnlbtuuis, thegreater number being classed ns Pres-bjtciians, the rest as Methodists nndHoman Catholics, Nevertheless theyretain theii ciude beliefs in mjtholog-cal lustorj and pincticemanj rites not

WAR FOE A PICTURE.

A Tale of Acoma, the Wonderful

City of the Cliffs. ' ,

aUdDK of the Infant J e m . and SI.Joseph Once Threatened to Lend

to s Terrible Conflict InNew Uexleoi

[Special Albugucrqug (N. M.) teller.]SCAHCELV seems, putslble,and ye( it Is perfectly truethat to obtain possession of

an old picture in which one can sowboarcely discern a single feature dear-ly, two peoples In the United Stateswere,once driven to the very verge ofthe precipice of war. And real war, 1mean, war that would have meant theshedding of the blood of scores and per-haps hundreds of men, for these werebrave and warlike peoples who wantedpossession of this rude daub of painton a yard or two of canvas.

The story has been revived by a visitI tavejust maxieto Acoma, tbowonder-ful city of the cliffs in New Mexico. ItIB an Indian city, but it is ah anolent,lilstorlo and fascinating city, It Is old-er than the oldest city of the easternstates bj many centuries, and has abistory as warlike, stirring and eiolt-Ing as either Boston, New York orPhiladelphia, It 1B more impregnablethan Quebec, and has suffered siege andassault as fierce, determined and pro-longed as the fortress city of the St.Lawrence. It is fascinating because ofits location, traditions,customs, peopleand their everyday life, To see a cityperched on the summit of a great rock-island, whose surrounding medium isair, nowever, instead of water, andwhose streets cannot be reached exceptup such trails us frighten stout-heart-ed men, is to be fascinated in t i e ex-treme, for Drachenfcls Is not more pic-turesque, and Ehrenbreitstein more

.naturally inaccessible, Its traditionstake one back many, many centuriesbefore Alfred the Great sat on thethrone of England, or William the Con-

exerclBed by the priests of those daysover these wild and hitherto untamedpeople.

When the church was built the newswas sent to the king of Spain, and, toBhow his pleasure at the event, beforwarded to the people of Acoma fortheir new and sacred edifice a paintingof St.'Joseph and the holy child Jesus;Thia is the painting, and it still isl lmg In't ie old church. The priestdid not fail to make the most of thogreat blessing this picture would beto them, especially If they sought toimbibe the spirit of the holy child,and, as was natural, it was not longere the simple-minded Acomdns be-lieved that tho blessings t i e priestspoke of were associated with tihe pic-ture Itself. For, singular to relate,it was not long utter the arrhal of thepicture before Acoma underwent suchan era of prosperity as its oldest menhad no recollection of, Their herds ofsheep—bred * from ancestors broughtfrom Mexico—their horses and theirgoats increased morvelously, Neverliud their corn fields been so prolific, orDie crop of wild grass and sunflowerseeds so abundant. .

And as for plnyon nuts, the treeswere laden with them, Tlielr hunters,too, never went out without cominghome laden with deer and antelope nenever before, and the Bong of content-ed, well-fed children gladdened thehearts of fond fathers and mothersthroughout the whole city. And theywere remarkubly healthy, too. Therewas no disease to speak of—no dreadepidemic that swept away lives likethe fierce cloudburst swept away trees.Children grew up healthy, strong andhappy, married, and soon were sur-rounded by equally healthy, happychildren of their own, and to Ibis sim-ple-hearted people, encouraged in theidea no doubt by tlielr zealous priest,all these blessings came from theblessed child Jesus and Sun Jose, blafather, before whom the}, ostensiblya.t least, bent the knee each day atearly morning mass,

But, equally singular to state, whilethe Acomans wens enjojmg this won-derful prosperity, the people in the

ifsTHE OLD PICTURE.

(St. Joseph ana the Holy Child Can BeBeen Very Dimly)

Mexico had taught them a little abouttho religion of those far-away lands.,of the Virgin Mary,- the holy father,San Jose, and the blessed child, Jesus,Boraa of tJieir hearts were softened bythe wonderful story that, properlytold by gentle hearted Christian men,lias never failed to win its way Intothe savage heart. And BO, by and by,they were easily induced, to build achurch which ttie good priest conse-crattd to tho worship of the childJesus.

And what a church that la. Itstands to this day, built 70 years be-fore the declaration of independence\ma signed. On, the summit of themesa, its timbers brought 40 milesawny from the mountnins anddragged by willing; or unwilling hu-man beings nil that way over thesandy desert, and then hauled bysheer physical strength up the 300 or400 foot high precipices, its churchyaid filled to a depth of 40 feet In someplaces \yith earth carried upon thesturdy bucko of women from the valley below, it Is a memorial of thepower, spiritual, mental or physical,

neighboring city of laguna, more mod-ern In Its history, were having justthe very opposite experience. Eicrything seemed to go amiss with themand neither Indian nor ivliite man'sGod smiled upon l i e n . The differencein the affairs of the two townsr-only17 miles apart—could not long remainunnoticed, and as the Lngunas talkedMltli the Acomans about it the lattercould not help attributing their un:

cxam'pled prospeiilj to the possessionof the magical San Jose and IIolj Child,When the Lagunas reached home theVibole matter was talked over againand again, and finally a deputation ofthe cltj council, the most conservativeand honored men of the town, were sentto the city council of Acoma to begthe favor of the loan of San Jose andthe Holy Child for a little while, to seeif their presence would not turn thetide of misfortune that so long haddeluged them.- With good nature and the most fra-ternal of feelings the Acoma councilcomplied with the request of the La-guna delegation, and the picture flee-fully was removed to its mew tempo-rary home. Its presence did bringthe good fortune hoped for, and eoonthere was great nnd glad rejoicing atthe change that hud came among thecrops, herds nnd families of the La-gunas. But, strange to say, tho ab-sence of the picture made tho Acomasuneasy, nnd, more singular still, dur-ing Its.absence some of their leadingmen died and other disasters hap-pened that made them anxious to gettho picture bock as speedily as pos-sible, As Boon as the time expiredlor iwhicli tho Lagunas had borrowedIt they returned it with the most sin-cere and profuse expressions ofthanlcs for tihe benefits its presencehad conferred upon them.

The Acomas received It with a joy-ful procession and hign mass wao eB-peclally celebrated to give solemn ex-pression to their gladness,

Laguna wernt back to Its old and dis-astrous condition. A year or twoelapsed, and when Laguna came toborrow San Jose and tueiEoly Childagain, the Acomans generously-gaveit up as before for the benefit of theirsuffering neighbors.

And now comes tho war part.When the tlmo expired for its returnLaguna with one voice said: "We willnot let it go. It is good medicine tokeep it and bad if it goes." When theAcomaiB heard this they were for go-Ing to war immediately, but tho goodold priest persuaded them to submitthe matter to the courts, which, aftera long trial, finally decreed the pic-ture belonged to Acoma and must In-stantly be returned tihlther. Whenthe Lagunas heard tho decision theytook the picture and reared It againsta tree hnlf wny betvreen. the two vil-lages; and there the Acomans foundit, and to t i ls day they, tell you howSan Jose started to walk to his home,but grew tired and'stopped to rest,and then they fouhdbtm.

POLITICS IN 1000.

This Is a Presidential year. Thebattlitor control of the national governmentwill again bo fought and won before another New Year season comes around.

The principles to be contended for willbe comparatively new. The Cong teBs nowIn session will in all probability enaotlaw making gold tbo standard of the.moneta../ Bysiem of the United States; ouinine kinds of inouey will very likely re-main, but tno value of eaoh kind wlllbimeasured by guld. '.this has long been tbipractice; tbe new law is designed to makthe custom obligatory. This wlllobllterato silver as a polttloal lesue,

Tbe tariff—duties levied on artlolcBofforeign gruwtb, make or manufacture—will not, unless conditions greatly change,be a factor la tbe Presidential oonteBt.

Tbe leading quebtlons, therefore, of thi•pproaooipg oanipBltn, will In all llkell-bood be those involved In tbe extraordinarycomplications which bare grown out oftbe expuiBion of tbe remnant of Spanishpower from the Weat Indian Islands, Af.lain In those Islands are now In a quies-cent state, but In the Philippine Islands,•even thousand miles distant, near theChinese coast, an army of 70,000 UnitedState*'troops,with numerous warships,are waging a war of subjugation on thoseof iheUttiiveBwho do sot like Americanoccupation of their country any betterthan they did that of the Spaniards.

On the question ol permanent occupationof the Philippines by our troops the peopleof the United States are divided. Man;prominent Republicans In every State areopposed to the acquisition of territory sodistant from our main land. On the otherhand, some of the most enthuslastio advo-cates of retention of all territory, far andnear, from which the Spaniards woreci-pelled, are Democrats. Among "expansionuta" there is none so rabid or unreason-Ing as tbeBe.

Whether or not, having driven the Span-lards from Cuba, tbe whole duty of theUnited Btatet has been done, Is the ques-tion of the hour. -

- Another question whloh will be dismissedto some extent is that of combinations ofcapital known as " trnstB." There Is asmuch difference In truBtsai there U In anything elise in this world, but tbe dis-position to look with suspicion uponeverything which bos tbe appearanceof consolidation ol large business concernsIs strong and the good will probably BufferWith the bad. Fur who but an expert canseparate the good (nut* from the bad? '

All things considered, the political cam-paign of IMIO Is sure to be of exciting Inter-est and to witness tome strange exhibitionsJB the way of political affiliation.

A D f i F I K l M O N OF "TEUST8."

W e have received from the NationalAntt-Trust Conference, of which N. L.Iiockwood, of Pennsylvania, Is ohalrman,» circular letter calling for a meeting in.Chicago, 111., on Febnary IS, 1900, of allWho oppose private monopoly In necessarycommodities.

According to this circular a "trust"Ist r n l y a n a w f a l tiling. Here Is the deflnl-

\ t t o n : ' ' . •- . : ' - , : ,• '.' ' ' ' •• ' • • • . ' • ;

We believe the orlmlnal oonsplraoles Inrestraint of trade oommonly known astraits, which so alarmingly characterizetbe present times, are a menace to liberty'[bey dote the doors of business opportun-ity to all but the xloh and powerful. TheyImpoverish the producer and 'consumerThey degrade labor. They have seizedupon the avenues of transportation and

Hied the fountains of pnbllo Informs-They debauch tbe elective franchise.

•• They are publlo enemies. Unless they areoverthrown there will be established Infree America a monled ollgarohy on theone band and a serfdom of the masses ot

'•'• the people on the other. Tneymust be de-stroyed OT bee govexmn«nt t» lost. Theonly power capable of successfully combat-Una tbe tyranny of these gigantic capitallitlo monopolies is the aroused and organ-bed hosts of tbe people to whom the gov-ernment and the country rightfully belongMid In whom all power of right Inheres.

The gentlemen of the Anti-Trust Con-ference believe there Is to be a fight to thefinish between the people of the UnitedStates and some " Hurts." Perhaps tbeowe Is not so desperate, but It cannot bedenied that their complaints, In many par-tloulars, are well grounded. Competitionundoubtedly has Its evils; but the tenden-oy In many lines of business to kill all com-petition Is deoidedly bad and opposed tothe publlo good. The middle man has aright to an'exlutenoe.

to put a halo around bis deeds must olnecessity put much faith In unborn gener-ations. In Jackson's oaBeit maybe saidthat he cared little for the opinion of anyone. He was a law unto himself, and it Ia mighty lucky thing for us wbollve In thyear 1000 that Jackson's law proved to ba good law. As a good general principle,the JOURNAL thinks It best for those Inauthority to obey tbe law as they find It,and not go beyond It in the hope that pos-terity will judge tbem leniently or thattime will furnish a gloss for unwarrantedaots.

THE North Carolina Supreme Court hassustained a decision imposing a fine oftWOO oo the Southern Bullroad for slvlnga free pass to a doorkeeper of tbe Legisla-ture of 16W.—Exchange.

THE STATE QF NEW JERSEY,

The Rev. Dr. George T. Purvei an-nounoed to the members of his ohuroh InPrinceton Sunday morning that he hadaccepted the call extended to him by theFifth Avenue Church of New York city.

It Is expeoted that tbe total of appropri-ations for State expenses will reach $3,000,-000 this year. The State Is supposed to benetting a million a year now, wherefore,ten years ago, Its net, Income was less thana third of that sum, and its expendituresabout $1,500,000. '

Demoorutlo judges will retire from theOounty courtB In Mercer, Monmouth andSomerset this year. To succeed JudgeConover In Monmouth it is probable tbatWilbur A. Heiuley, tbe present propeoutor,will be appointed. There are several can-didates fur the honor In the other Counties.

CONGRESS RESUMES.

•WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Tho senateevinced a disposition yesterday to takeup the work of the session In earnest,and while the Bitting was of only a littlemore than an hour's duration a largenumber of important bills were Intro-duced and a definite foundation laid totproceeding with the financial bill. Thehour for the beginning of the debate onthis measure was fixed for 2 o'clock to-day. The moat notable event of. the daywas an objection entered by Mir. HonrWMassachusetts to the summary disposi-tion of resolutions asking for informationabout the conduct of the Philippine war.He Indicated »•purpose to demand con-sideration for such measures even at theexpense of the financial bill. The 10thinst. was named as the day for the de-livery of eulogies in honor of the memoryof the late Vice President Hobart.

The senate committee on foreign rela-tions presented a report upon SenatorHoar's resolution in regard to claims ofcitizens of the United States againstSpain. The committee presents a sched-ule of claims, amounting to over $1,000,-000 and adds, "It Is impracticable toitats even approximately the amount ac-

tually due on these claims or to allege, inview of the state of records of the statedepartment of that date, thitt there maynot be others than those mentioned." Asto the remedy of the claimants, the com'mlttee expresses the opinion that the onlypresent remedy Is by diplomatic negotiat i o n . " . . • • . • • . '•"-.'' • . ' , • . . . ' • : '

The house was in session but 15 min-utes and during that time had a littleHurry over an attempt by Mr. Sulzer otNew York to secure consideration for aresolution asking Information concerningthe relations of the treasury departmentwlth\the National City-bank of NewToik. The resolution was referred to thecommittee on wayB and means.

Mr. Gaines of Tennessee rose to a ques-tion of personal privilege respecting hisvote on the Roberts resolution. Theseevents and the prayer of the chaplain oc-cupied the brief time the house was ins e s s i o n . . . : . ... •.'•' • • .;!•'. / . •"""

Ohalrman Payne and some of his asso-ciates of the ways and means committeehad an informal talk after the adjourn-ment ot the house relative to the Sulzerresolution calling on the secretary of thetreasury for Information which had beenreferred to the committee. A meeting ofthe committee will be held today, and apretty! thorough understanding was ar-rived at that at today's meeting the reso-lution wonld be considered and probablyreported at once to the house. Somechanges are likely to be made.In the res-olution, however, by the omission of thotwo banks specifically named, thus mak-ing the inquiry relate generally to oilbonks. It Is understood also that per-sonal Inferences are likely to be avoided

the amended resolution. In tbe form:hUB reported back to the house it is ex-pected the resolution will pass withoutobjection and that any debate en thequestion involved will be deferred untilthe secretary of the treasury has had anipportunity to comply with the, requestlor information. > • •.. .,: . , ; v ,

Then there Is aunthor reaBon why we arehere, and that is to partake of the bounti-ful spread that your better half has provlded for your oompany and Its guests.

Then there is another reason. We In-tend to leave you'a little reminder of ourvisit on this beautiful New Year's day. Ifyou should oast your eye on the emptytable after we leave, you would be remind-ed that we had been here; but in a shorttime that will all be oleared away. So themembers nf four oompany who nevpr dothings by halves, have something to leavewith you that will be an everlasting re-minder of the visit of Steamer OompanyNo.8.

Mr. President, allow me, lnbehalf ofStoamor Oompany No. a, of Dover, to pre-sent to you thlB beautiful bodge that I holdIn my hand. It is small, but speaks vol.umes. Take it, Mr President, and wearIt, and whenever you look upon It, remember it is meant to convey to you therespeot and admiration ot your oompiny.

In conclusion, we all wish you andyours a hoppy New Year,'

In reply Mr, Carhart stid:Chief Mellck, Assistant Chief Gillen,

Committee and officers and members ofVigilant Company No. 2 - In acceptingthlB handsome token of friendship, thisNew Year'B day of 1900, allow me to saythat I deem it an honor to be the roclplentof such'a prize,, and in a humble way Iwish to expreSB my thanks to the commit-tee In charge, the offloers and members ofthe company and oil others conneoted withthis presentation'for their kindness andhope I may always wear the emblem presented this day, with a true and honorablefeeling, that will nnlte and keep the goodwill of every member of No, 8 and banishfrom every mind all differences that haveexisted in times post; so that when thebell In yonder tower sounds the unwel-come signal we will respond with no fearof danger and fight the enemy until oon<c[uered, > , ' '

As you know we hod someinvited guests who enjoyed the trip aswell as any of the band.•And now, thanking onB and all for your

WHEN DOES THE

20th CenturyBEGIN?

This, question, seems to interestmany people just at "this time, butthe question most interesting to themerchant now is whether it paysbest to sell at a small profit for cashor to'sell at a larger profit on credit.In these'days of sharp competitionevery penny counts both to theseller and the buyer, and the of tenerthe merchant can count his penniesthe. larger his profit. , ,

T O ILLUSTRATE?

A butcher invests $50 the firstday of the month in a carcass of beefwhich he sells the same day for cashat a profit of 10 per cent. He re-peats the transaction each day for amonth, at the end of which time his$50 has netted him | i 20. If he doesa 30-day credit business, what percentage would it be necessary forhim to add to his investment to netthe same amount in the same lengthof time ?

The more I study this problem themore I am convinced that a cashbusiness is best both for the buyerand the seller.• As a result of this conviction Ibeg to inform my patrons and thegeneral public that I will conductmy business on this basis beginning

JANUARY 15th, 1900I shall aim in the future, as in the

past, to deal in the highest grade ofgoods, both Meat and Groceries.

Smith is not lit aU proud of 111;debts. Neither 1a be proud of hliability, though many men with muchless ore quite conceited. But be isproud of hU wife. Ilu thinks no otherman ever had one so good or so beautiful, nnd those who know ber, eepe-

One day not long ago, Smith invitedone of his friends out to dinner. 'Theinvitation WOE gladly accepted, : forthere is no more enjoyable place tospend an evening than with Smith andhis wife. Hut when the two menreached the door it was evident thatsomething tefrible had happened.Mrs. Smi'.h greeted her husband withteara In hfr eyes and her voice trem-bled as sue cried:

"Oh, John, the constable has beenhere and carried off every bit of thefurniture."

It was only too true. Even thidishes and the kitchen range wcrtgone. But Smith was not one whitabashed.

QUEER LOT OF MEN.

To Bs Found in No Other AmericanCity But Washington,

Those Familiar with Their Ways CullTUem "Snndoirnera"—Tliej Are

tlctlma of Cowardice andSelf-indulgence.

[SpBClal Washington Letter.]

THIS Is the story of "The Bundownerj" and it has never be-fore been told.

Probabiy no other city in the world—certainly no other cily In this country—Las such a goodly number of tiiesepeople as can be found in our nationalcapital.

Scholars tell us that all discussionshould be preceded by definition; andthat many great debates have beencaused by luck of understanding ofterms on thfe part of those in dispute.Therefore, the learned men tell us,every term should be properly definedby a public speaker or.writer, in orderthat the listener or reader may the bet-ter apprehend what is intended to beconveyed.

Well, "a Sundowner" Is a man whopractices a profession In this city afterIhe working liouis of the day havejjnssed awuy, and when men in thelenrued professions have laid uside theirbooks, their papers, their clients andpatients, and dismissed them from theirminds. "A Sundowner goes to worknbou,other men have ceased their dallylabors and endeavors. "A Sundowner"Is liable to work long after sundown;probably until midnight, or even later.It is because he practices his professionafter sundown that he is called a Sun-dovuer.

These people work all day; that is,'rom nine o'clock in the morning untilour o'clock in the afternoon. One of

thfe clasB thia evening told his story, inbrief, and it was as follows: "I cameto Washington to stay three years, and1 have stayed just 27 years too long. 1have been here for*30 years: 1 camehere and was appointed to a clerkship,solely for the purpose of having a goodliving, while I Btudied medicine. 1norited faithfully in my office all dayand studied medicine at night. All ofbe medical colleges here have their

nours BO arranged BB to accommodategovernment clerks, and lectures aregiven at night. Three happy years wentby, and I was graduated. 1 well remem-ber how anxious I was for graduationday to come, and how I daily picturedto myself.the .roseate future when Iihould become.a-greatphyslclan. or EUT-

EECEIVINQ l HIS DIPLOMA.

goon, with pnUentB too numerous formy time and attention. 1 had visionsof a house of my own, an oillec in myown house, a family growing up aboutme and. a bank account constantly.welling. ,, , , ', 4

"Well, the happy day came and 1 re-ceived my diploma. I hud it framed,and it'is still in the original frame. Itauthorized 'me to practice medicine.Success and wealth were in lay grasp.Very soon'I should step forth into theworld and mnke'n reputation for mj selfwhich would rival that of all physiciansof the past, I hnd studied diligentlyand faithfully. X had become an expertuilh the scalpel and had been compli-.mented by the professors, some ofwhom seemed to really believe with me'that 1 would become a famous surgeon.

"But here I am with nothing but thatold diploma to • show ' for my years ofeager, hopeful, ambitious, youthful en-deavor. Do jou know why V Because 1lesitated, nnd'wis lost In tbe maelstrom

of failure which characterizes the livesf sumany hundreds who come to Wash-

ington and hold government oillce. 1am one of a common class. I am a Sun-downer, and always shall be.

In tbe nrst place, 1'hesitated to goInto the world .without some money toback me. 1 concluded to remain inWashington one year longer, save mymoney, and then go back home to In-diana wltb enough on hand to keep mecomfortably at least a year, while 1 wasbuilding up a practice and letting thepeople'become accustomed to seeing mysign hanging over my oillce door. Thefirst year passed, and I had saved $300.That was not enough, of course, so 1oncluded to wait nnotieryear. At the.md of the second year 1 had saved upltogether $750. That was enough for

my original purpose. But just thenomething happened. I was promotedrom an original clerkship of $1,000 per

annum, through the various grades, un-til, just when 1 was getting read} to goforth upon my well intended mission, 1was promoted to $2,000 per annum.

"Young and hopeful and ambitious aswas, and possessed of excellent self-

confidence, I knew that it would beeveral years before I could earn:$2,000ler annum practicing medicine; so Ilonclufled, to Vemaln here another year.nd'tove np at least another thousandlollars before giving up my comfortableifflce. In the meantime 1 pot up a signmd began to attend those who called

my services at night. Then it washat I became a regular Sundowner.

That Is what 1 am to-day, aid that 1<hall aJwaii'remaln."

Tbls man, « ho is now past M years onge, bos managed to accumulate a for-luue of about $10,000 and a family ofseven childien. lie will never practicimedicine as he originally intended todo. But Ihe average Sundowner neveruccumuJnles anything. There arethousands of men of this class in Washinglon, but they do not amount tomuch. They do not even Interfere withthe Incomes of the regular practition-ers, because those who call upon themfor services at night are the very poorpeople, who cannot afford f> pay thefees demanded by the successful phyBi-clans, and very often the) do not paythe Sundowners anything at all.

But you must not suppose that fillof these people are physicians, Thereare also lawyers and theologians by thehundreds, who belong to the same class.The young men who have graduated in

THE OLD SUNDOWNER.

law have become brlefmakers fur law-yers, and they make extra money atsight doing office drudgery until theireyes are dimmed with overwork by arti-flclal light. The poor theologians, how-ever, never have the courage to go forthand preach the Gospel which they knowso .well. But they make good Sundayschool teachers, and therefore it Is thatsome of the Sunday schools in this cityhave such superior teachers. They aremen of education and ability, but theylack nerve, and faith, and courage. Be-sides,- life in government office Is veryeasy and attractive, and it. takes lotsof ambition to indluce any man to givevp such a position. Therefore it is thatSundowners multiply year by year un-til their name Is legion.

But these useful Sundowners are ina minority. The large majority ofthose who liave thus.begun life, andthen surrender their hopes and ambi-tions to ease, are worthless'to the com-munity, so far asthe utilization of theireducation is concerned. The large ma-jority of them soon cease trying topractice their professions after sun-down, and begin to practice before thebars of saloons; or else they spendtbelr eieningB in public places ofamusement or in soclnl'entertainmehtsConsequently the real practitioners areso comparatively few that they do notinterfere with the vtork and income oftlie regular members of the learned as-sociations.1

There is a moral to this narration ofreal life in Washington vihlch the read-er may Infer even better tlinn thewriter can depict. While it is true thatthere is probably no city in the landvhich bus such educational advantagesfor jouug men as may be found here,the ambitious students should notmake office holding n prerequisite.Their parents and friends should urgethem to take no government oillce, un-der anj circumstances, but" stick to'their studies and get into actual prac-tice as soon as possible after havingb»en graduated.

The great congressional library alonewould be a l?oon to every real student.It Is now open by nJght as well as byday, nnd all classes of students ha\free access to its volumes. There isno necessity for buying books nnd ac-cumulating a library at an expensewhich might fnll heavily upon thosewho are not blessed with good incomesfrom'their homes. But, in addition tothat splendid temple of Informationand cduontlon, there arc private li-braries, college libraries and univer-sity libraries, all accessible to thosewho desire to use them.

As stated above, the colleges affordsuperior facilities because they haveday sessions and night sessions, so thatstudents have opportunities such asare not elsewhere afforded. More-over, the students of law canearn practical lessons by attend-ing (be sessions of the congress;lessons, which, of course, cannotbe learned anywhere else. It is be-cause of these exceptional opportuni-ties that fond fathers, having politicalinfluence, have sent their boys to Wash-ington and seeured government em-ployment for them In order that theymight secure education—only to be-come SundounerB.

Of course, here nnd therein the landthere may be a Henry Clay, or anAbraham Lincoln, or a Garfield seekingeducation, who might be ndiantagedbj genernment employment during hiseducational period. But such excep-tions to the rule are so rare that c\ery"alher should be absolutely certainthat his son is of that class before hepermits him to be buried in a govern-ment office, only to waste his life away.Probably no class of educated peopleon earth have a more complete appre-ciation of the fact that youth is a blun-der, mature manhood a struggle, and>ld age a regret than these Sundown-:ri' SMITH.

How Christmas Is Celebrated by theSouthern Darkies.

[Special Beaton (Lei) Letter ]

¥ IBITOI1S to the southern statesat Christmas time will see thedarky .in' his native element.

Weeks. before Christmas day tbecolored people of each village orsettlement have been making prep-arations for the celebration ofthe event, which, with them, |sboth a religious festival and a day offeasting. All of the available assetsof the little farm have been convertedinto cash for the purchase of coffee,

SOUTHERN NEOnO SETTLEMENT.

sugar, flour, a little whisky, and redcol I eoa for the women and children.Not only the remaining cotton, but thespare mule and even some of the cornsupply,.have been sold In order.to getthe necessary delicacies for the propercelebration of this day, which "comesbut once a year." For about two weeksbefore1 Christmas day the village andsettlement stores are crowded , withcolored people of both sexes, and of allages and sizes. An entire family raidsthe store, e,ach dolng'hlB own bujing,though the "old man" paj s for all. 'J hismethod Is to prevent tbe dissatisfactionwhich usually,arises when one persondoes the shopping for a family, espe-cially when there is a number of "pick-aninnies," or'chlldren. In the spnrseljsettled districts,the family Is bundledInto nn ox wagon at daylight und thediiy is spent in "trading at de sto'," Atnight they slowly return to their cabinborne, singing the bid melodies, as hap-py a crowd as e\cr existed. Theirwants are few,' they know nothing oftie,luxuries of life, do not crave forthem, and when they get. enough ofCommon delicacies to afford> them afew dnys of feasting and reveliy, Orrather,.wild license, their happiness Is*complete, it is so with the villngcdaikj also, and In a'measure with tbe"city" negro. Tbe geneiul cbur'auciis;tics and peculiarities of the plantationand the village darky nie the iarao asthose of their ancestors geneintionsago.' Ihcy observe the same clittoins,speak the same dialect, are minted uiththe same superstitions,' and- worsblpwith the same fien/y. Kdiiculion hashad very little effect upon them, andthough they have had the advantages ofschools for the pnst thiid of u centurythey show uo grcut Improvement as arace. TJie colored mind Ib sluggish,and, though It has been the negio't lotto labor,for the white mn'n since theearliest settlement of this eotinuy, heis constitutionally lazy.

He^works "merely that he may live,and|'fsavesup",justr about enough to en-able him to properly celebrate Christ-mas.". After 'that—the Deluge, or

without "big dolo's" Is a year lost. Apoor Christmas is a theme for regretsfor months to come, and be prajs thatbe may "do better at dis comin1 Cbrisirmas, de Lord be willln'."

Wbea tbe supply wagon has arrivedat tbe cabin, tbe dry and wet goods areparceled out and tbe "women folk"busy themselves ID preparing their reddresses for the feast aod dance that isto follow. Very little lute U exer-cised in the make-up, and the latest.fashion plates are to them a sum Inalgebra. The dresses are usuallyquaint In style and made on tbe linesof the styles of a generation ago, butIt Is the color* that they prize the most.A few days before Christmas they be-gin making up tbe "flour doln't;" «*cakes, pies and thing* are called. The"men folk" kill a few hogs and bar-becue the meat. Such game as can befonnd Is also brought Into requisition,and these, with hog and hominy andsweet potatoes and 'possum with gravy,furnish a feast that would tempt eventhe most refined taste. There are nobetter cooks, generally speaking, thanthe colored women cooks of t ie south.

Their culinary art, however, is lim-ited to tbe few plain essentials of life,as stated above. Tils was the style ofliving In the south In the olden days,and even the wealthy planters had fewluxuries. -They did not car* frr them,and the colored women who developidthe art of good cooking, In these essen-tials, transmitted It -to their descend-anU,,and, while they preserve It, theyhave not Increased the menu. A Christ-mas dinner as spread to-day for the dar-kles of -Louisiana or Mississippi 1* a*rich a'feast a* anyone would wish to'have on audience with. Tbe edibles arewell and seasonably prepared, and notbeing tainted with modern dyspeptic,reasonings are healthful and easily di-gested, This Is one cause of the ne-gro's heultbfulness, notwithstandingthat he Is exposed to the elements, not'only in the fields, but bis rude cabinIs often a poor protection. The roofIs usually leaky and tbe crevices arenot closely "chinked." The darky sayswith the Arkansaw traveler: "When itrains he can't put on a good roof, andwhen It don't rain be doesn't needone."

Tbe preliminary feast taken place onthe day before Christmas. The neigh-,bors have swarmed In from a<I direc-tions, dressed in their best, some ofthem carrying their best shoes and,dresses in a sack thrown over tbe shoul-der. The women wear dresses of all.colors and combinations of colors, and

Dunclngbegiusuboulduik, and is'kept up nltb a uisli untilmidnight, A local colored band fillniehi's tJic music, nhich consists of oneor two violins, a banjo, a pair of bouesand one or two brass Instruments. '1 hedaiky^ likes to hn\e a great deal ofnoise.' The performer on the bones Isselected, for jiis e&pertncss, and he canmake them almost talk. A bone accom-paniment to a jig Is the feature of theevening. The "caller" Is an importantpersonage, though little or no attentionis paid to him, for all of them knowthe figures-of tbe plain quadrille.

The negro seldom waltzes—it is tooslow for him, and It does not afford fullscope for the "double-shuffle" anu "jig-step" nhicb is a feature In bis dunclngrWhen tbe dance Is at its height, .theband playing for all it is worth, and thecaller from bis elevated plutform Isyelling at the height of bis powerfulvoice, one might conclude that tied lambad broken loose. 1 he music Is almostalwnjs good, but Is drowned by thevoice of the" caller, and the shuffling offeet. Tbe dancing is good, from thisstandpoint, and, while not consideredartistic, it is graceful, 'ibe gift Is nat-ural with the negro, nnd qne who can-not dance is a rarity, and Is consideredas uneducated by them.

At midnight the "banquet" Is called,wben all full into line and march to thefeast This lasts about an hour, or aslong u the edibles hold out, 'ihen the"guests" return borne; to return nextday for the regular Christmas dinner:or, perhaps, favor some neighbor withtheir presence. ..

Christmas Is a,favored day for mar-riagesand baptisms. The church Is un-usually crowded, and, after a ratherlengthy sermon and tbe usual collec-tion, the minister and those to be Im-mersed lead off to the near-by stream.The' entire congregation follows, forthis Is the religious, ceremonial of theyear. .At this time thCitrram I* usuallyfroten over, but a Idndjdsicon precede*the ministerBtid hlsconvertsand breaks*tbe ice for>tbem: KactfbaptlsraJs fol-lowed with singing and frenzied'shout-Ing, and* this weird scenecontlnues torhour* after the Immersions, the eon-'vert* joining, which Is the. signal forrenewed shoots from tn* freniled wor-shipers, who have worked themselvesinto * state of mind bordering on r*

BOLD GIRL BUEGLAR.Though Oaly Seventeen Years Old,

She Does Clever Work.

Break! Into a Houie aad Bacapeiwith Itcadr Caeb, plnerr and Vat-

nsiile Paper*—Koowi Oiber"Ladjr" Hoaaebreakeri.

Seventeen-year-old Minnie MllbrantIs a prisoner at the Sheffield avenue po-lice station, Chicago, the first girl bur-glar to come under the notice of Capt.Bohuettler and the men of his district.The daring ease with which theachieved her criminal exploit and therapidity with which she disposed of thespoils make her the seven-day wonderof the police department.

Miss ililbrant broke Into the houseof Louis F. Bailer, a milk dealer, 1306Dunning, street, at four o'clock in themorning. She had formerly been em-ployed there, She went about her jobwith all the assurance of a profession-al, but minus revolver and other weap-ons. She departed with $47, severaldresses which took her fancy, musicalInstruments valued at $200, and paperworth $2,000 to Mr. Holler. Twelvetours later the was arrested by De-tectives Lang and Sheehan and all thestolen property was recovered exceptthe money.

A desire for revenge, coupled with thepossession of an empty purse, led thegirl to the burglary. She confessed asmuch to Capt. Bchuettler at the policestation, after explaining that she hadspent all tbe money for clothing andhad hidden the rest of the plunder.She denied that she had been aided byany person and seemed rather proudof tbe'dlstinotlon gained.

Miss MHbrant, burglar, went to arear window of the Haller bouse, fivefeet above the ground, and with a pairof scissors cut a square piece out of thewire screen large enough to permit theraising of the window. According toher story, she crawled Into the house

head first, falling from tbe window onthe floor and upsetting a lot of cioclt-ery. The uoisc awakened Air, Jlnller,but he sobn full asleep ngaln.'The girlwaited a few minutes and then began

She took a pocketbool[contaluing$47from a dialer in a biiienu and thenwent to n closet wheie Mrs". Hnllerliepther dresses. Choosing those she M>«dbest, she flung them OUT her arm undthen picked up a /Itlicr. Going intothe dining-room she took a tin bo\containing >a]uable papers and thenleft the house, after being in it fullyhalf an hour,

\Vilh her plunder in her arms MissJlilbrant walked to Southport avenuennd there bonrded a trollcj car for Cly-boura a\enue. Dining the day she man'aged to nttiie herself In one of Mrs,'nailer's dresses mined at $00, buy anew hat woilh three dollars and a pairof shoes worth four dollars, spend afew dollars on underwear, and eat twoof the best meals her abundant capi-tal would afford.

Tbe detectives believed the burglaryhad been committed by experiencedmen until they discovered Ihc imprintof a woman's shoe beneath the window.They learned Miss Milbrant had beendischarged by Mrs. nailer,'that she hadnot been beard at her parents' house,40 Melroso street, since her discharge,and that shejiad been arrested last Oc-tober for stealing a watch from theresidence, of John Williams, Belmontavenue and Ferry street, where she wasemployed," These facts led to a search'for the girl and her speedy arrest.

"No, I ain't a bit afraid of being aburglar," said the young woman atthe station to a Chicago Tribune re-porter. "I was a little bit scared wbenthe dishes fell In the pantry; but 1went right ahead just the same, IwentInto three rooms and took ay timeabout It. I didn't take my shoes off,either. 1 know some 'lady' burglars,but I am not acquainted with any 'gen-tlemen' burglars. There are several'lady' burglars on the North side. (don't live at home, because mf peopleare always telling me about' thingslong passed. I suppose if they had notcaught me 1 might have robbed otherhouses, as It Is an easy way to getmoney."

The Phebe Meeker mentioned in tbequoted Morrlstown records, who marrieda Olark, lead! to the supposition that ItWM perhapa a Olark who aooomptnled tbefirst Meeker to Wantage, and settled uponlands near by, for the reasons that our renent article upon Major Samuel Meekcr'sbiography, showed the close relationshipexliltlng between thoso two families atUnlonvllle, and because tbe name"Phebe" is a prevalent one among Meekerdescendants in Wantage.

In addition to records made known inour artlole on the Major, we mention farther that' the' oldest tombstones In theOlark burying ground on Ellakln Everett'sfarm nun MoWilllsms' in Unlonvllle,where Catherine (Olark) Meeker wasbqrlealsthatof

" Peter Clark, died In IBM, aged 11 yean,Bavid, ton of William and Ezra Bhorter,

died 1818; aged 3 yean;James Klmber, died November 8, 1837,

aged 48 years, 4 months, 26 d&ya.Elisabeth, wife of Peter Klmber, died

Deoember 6,1840, aged 80 years, S months,IS days."

In the Christie yard:" Andrew; R. Masters, son of .William

Masters, died Ootober BIS, 1887, aged 1 year,1 month, Bdaya,"

We mention the foregoing beoanse thosoyards are abandoned, and the preservationof the records may be Inquired after at«omo time. We will also say that JamesBosenorans, surviving ezeoutor of JepthaMeeker, Sr., filed hia final accounting withtbe Surrogate at Newton, In August, 1814,while we otnnot find that Jedadlah Snyre,Administrator of Satnu'ol Meeker, has everfiled any final aooountlng them.

Jonas Meeker was overseer of the roadIn Wantage In the spring of 1V18.

By strange reoorda we find that therewas Aaron Meeker, living In Wantage In1880, aged 70 years. From Nowton records—Auetln Meeker was married to ElizabethAnn Oourson, August SI, 1869, by Rev R.Bower Lockwood. Eliza Ann Meeker andRobert Washer, of Sussex/married Nov-ember 18. 1866, by Theodoro Longoore, J.P; Aaron K Meeker and Catherine BeBt,of Waterloo, married December 8,1870, byRev. W. W, Voorheos,

Ivory Soap costs a little more, but ittakes less to do the work, and how muchwhiter the clothes are when they have beenwashed with it.

A WORD OF WARNING.—There are many white soaps, each rep-resented to be "just as good as the 'Ivory';" they ARE NOT, but like allcounterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the'genulne. Ask for"Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.

A Lazy Man Don't Want to WorkAs a rule, unless it is absolutely necessary. Did you ever stop to thinkthat those choice chickens of yours are just the same. You may thinkthat you have the best "layers" in town, but if they are properly caredfor and fed the purest and most wholesome poultry food obtainable, youwill be surprised to see what an increase will be made when you go tothe coop at night to collect the eggs. When you start to work morningsyou want something more substantial than bread and butter for break-fast. . So with your poultry; if you want the best results yoii must givethem Ground Oats, Cracked Oyster Shells" Bones and Pioneer CloverMeal, all of which can be had at my office.

LIVELY CANNONADE AT LADYSMITH.

TUe British Advance on SlormbePHChecked \>r the Doers Under

Grobler With a )*.<>«» of OverSeven Hundred Men.

LONDON, Jjn. i.—There Is completeabsence of anything uew from the scot ofwar, The report of the Boer attack uponMoltcno is not yet confirmed. Apparent-ly General French' holds nothing withinfive miles ol Colosberg Junction. His re-quest for rc-enforceiuents dispels anypresent hope that lie -will bo able to Bekcone of the crossings of the Ornnge river.

It is probable that, when Lord Robertsarrives General French will be orderedto quit his present unsupported positionnnd to 'concentrate his command at DcAur or Orange River. As The Doily Tel-egraph says, "General French seems tobe in the position'of a miin hnviug atiger cat in a trap ana unable to kill Itfor want of a stick." •

A dispatch from Dover Farm announ-ces that Lieutenant Colonel Plleher hasreturned there sufely from Douglng.

Since Connnandaqt General Joubert'areturn to the front the cannonade,of La-dysmith by th£ Boers has been muchlivelier. Botweeu Dec. 18 nnd Dec. 20four shells killed one officer and 13 menand wounded 13 officers nnd 11 men. •

The war office acknowledges the Infe-riority of the regular artillery by author-izing the equipment of the new batteryattached to the London volunteer corpswith Vidros and Maxims, some ofwhich the Boers use, and by ordering 100of these 12*& pounder quick flreia builtimmediately. The officer* and men of thenew battery will be supplied from t i eHonorable artillery company.

Bight additional militia regiments havebeen called out, Seven of these will serveIn Ireland, replacing the regulars sent toSouth Africa.

A dispatch from Sterksttoora, Onpe Col-ony, dated Wednesday, says:

"The Boers attacked General Gat-acre's forces at Molteno this morning,and the action Is now proceeding."

Molteno it the camp from which Gen-eral Gatncre started on his night marchto attack Stormberg Dec, 10. His routby the Boers under General Evart Grab-ler was complete.

The battle cost him 35 tilled, 68wounded and 007 captured.

Gntacre retreated In disorder fromStormberg to Molteno-and in a day ortwo withdrew to Sterkstroom, 31 mlleusouth of Stormborg.

Within the past week Gatacre hospushed his line eastward as far as Dor-drecht and'Indwe, and the news of hisadvance aB far north as Molteno it) an in-dication that his plans to co-operate withGeneral French'B division are matured.* The Boer forces around Stormberg ate

estimated at 0,000 to 8,000. That theygave battle at Molteno is an indicationof confidence of success on their jpflirt, forStormberg 1B a. natural, fortress, whosedefensive strength exceeds that of anyposition In that locality. Gatacre • hasprobably about 8,000 men in his com-mand.' .'•' ..••:•• , > .--..

A d i s p a t c h " f r o m K i m b c r l e y , d a t e dDec. 20, says: "The Boers last nightevinced considerable Interest In .the Pre-mier mine, using their searchlights. Thismorning they actively shelled the fort.The Royal artillery, replied. Our shellswere well placed and dropped amid thesmoke of the enemy's guns. Last night'sBtorm ignited some of our military mines,but there were no casualties. Mr. CecilRhodes has supplied the Boer prisonerswith new clothing." ' .

Colonel Plleher reports, through theofficer commanding at the Orange river:

"1 have completely defeated a hostilecommand at the Sunnyslde laager thisday, Jan. 1, taking the laager and 40prisoners besides the killed and wound-ed. Our casualties are two privates kill-ed and Lieutenant Adie wounded. Amencamped at Dover farm, 20 milesnorthwest of Belmont and ten miles fromSimnyside." : . ,

The Dolly Mail has the following dis-patch, dated Jan. 1, from Rensliurg:

"Yesterday afternoon a big force ofcavalry and infantry, with .ten guns,'un-der, the personal command' of GeneralFrench, moving by detour, occupied somehills three miles from,Colesberg, wherethe Boers were In strength, confident Inthe; natural aid afforded them by thehills around." ; .; * .. .';/ ; ' -,- \ j

"The- enemy's position extended BIXmiles, around the entire village. At day-break our artillery opened the battle. TheBoers were taken by surprise, but repliedvigorously. An arHlln-" 'luel was main-tained for two hours'. Then a Boer Hotch-kiss collapsed and.was abandoned. Wecaptured it. A Boer big gun was silenced,but this and the other Boer guns werewithdrawn to the northward, whither weare harassing the Boer retreat by a dam-aging shell flre.' '','•. ..'•.•• '..,**'•;.••: ',..

"Colesberg is in our hands, and the few.remaining loyalists are jubilant.1 -Wthave captured many wagons and a con-siderable quantity of stores.,

"Our losses were quite slight, but thtBoera must have suffered heavily. Theymay stop at Achtcrtang or cross, the rivcialtogether at Norval's Pont, where thebridge is still intact."
