STILL IN DOUBT.
The Result in the TransvaaI Is Sub
ject to Conjecture,
As Reports as TO Ismeson's Victory or Deiea.
Are Conflicting.

London, Jan. 3, --The fact that the tele-
graph wires in South Africa have been
devoted to government work since the
trouble in the Transyaal occurred and the
fact that no private cable messages had
been received from South Africa for four
days, led to the circulation of all kinds Of
rumors regarding the situation in the
south African Republic and the state of
the British invaders of that country.
One of these reports has it that De-
Jameson had been shot by his captors. an
other that the Uitlanders in johannes
burg had risen against the Rocr govern
ment and have given the city over TO the
flames
What truth there is in these stories it is
impossible now to ascertain. owing to the
government monopoly of the telegraph
lines.
1t may be that the report of the shoot
ing of DIR. jameson is true. If he had
been tried by court MARTIAL and convicted
there is scarcely a doubt that execution
would promptly follow the passing Of
sentence.
AT 8.5C, this evening. a representative
of the United Press called at the foreign
office to confirm, If possible, thu report of
the shooting of DIR. jameson.
He was Informed by the officials that
they had received no information further
than had been made public.
Mr.. Chamberlain, colonial secretary.
was at the office. waiting for dispatches
He had frequent conferences with the war
office and admiralty officials but no special
instructions bearing on the situation has
yet been issued TO the naval or military
authorities

MAKE IT PUBLIC"
A Boston Man Says: use My
Name as Much as You Like
Why Let Him Tell You.
(From the Boston Post.)


Our representative last week called on
a gentleman OF Boston, whose case is of
interest to you, if similarly afflicted as
his testimony is thoroughly reliable and
he is not only glad of his relief but not
afraid to tell all about it and give the full
credit where it is due
Mr.. c. L. Glidden, residing at III
Eutaw ST., East Boston, is the gentle
man.
Our representative asked, "Mr. Gid
den, you have taken Doan's Kidney Pills,
did they do you any good?'
Yes, sir, they did, l am happy to
say"
What seemed to be your trouble
II suppose it was Kidney complaint,
The symptoms pointed that way, and
there was soreness of the Kidneys 1t
commenced about six months ago, and
grew into constant backache increased
by urinal trouble, until it was painful to
stand, and if sitting it almost took my
life to get up. | went to Knights phar
macy 81 Court St, and bought box of
Doan's Kidney Pills in hopes of getting
L
remedies, took them as directed, and am
well"
You are convinced it was the Doan S
Kidney Pills that effected the cures'
g 1t was They are the best medicine
l ever took-therc is no mistake about
that-and too much cannot be said for
them and you may use my name as
much as you like as l shall personally
recommend them to everybody.
Is it any wonder we are glad to make
this public? This very statement may be
the means of relief to many who are
within reach of Mr.. Glidden He Ger
tainly will be glad to answer any qCes-
tons and verify all that is written above.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by
dealers, price 80 cents or sent by mail by

A LESSON TO BEGINNERS.
The Art Amateur Tells Of the Use and
Care of Materials In China Painting.

Tho best way to extract the paint from
q tube is to squeeze the tin from the bot
tom, folding IL up gradually, so rs to keep
the contents together and prevent them
from drying. II tho top refuses to I'M
screw, hold lighted match under 1t for
moment, and then turn it quickly in a
cloth to protect your fingers from the heat.
Some paints will dry no matter what
care you take with them. In such cases
split open tho tube, remove the color and
grind il with the glass muller, first add
ing few drops of fat oil. Colors as rule
need no mixing with oil or flux. The lat.
ter is added when a very delicate tone is
to DO mado from heavy color; it has the
properties Of q glaze often causing color
TO fire ont entirely If used too freely.
Grind all colors thoroughly on the glass
palette, using the muller if they are in
cllned 10 DO gritty. 1t is less fatiguing 70
stand than to sit while doing this,
II after painting there is much clean
color on the palette, leave it until next
time. This advice | know is contrary to
what is generally given, but think that
the paint often gains in quality by eyapo-
ration, particularly in the case Of carmine
and violet of gold and of carnation with
fux.
Keep the palette shut up and carefully
wipe off with q dry cloth before wetting
the paints again. Then drop little tur-
pentino into each, and do not rub them
down. However, as soon as your colors
become soiled, make clean sweep of them
and take fresh start. Use plenty of paint,
and do not be afraid 10 waste
To restore an old or bent brush to its
original shape, good plan Is to dip 1t in
70 alcohol and run il lightly along the
slge Of stove or a heated poker or lamp
,himncy, wetting tho brush constantly the
meanwhile, and shaping IT as it dries BE
very careful not 20 SINCE it, for that would
utterly ruin IL.
