Who Raised the White FIage

A Johannesburg correspondent states
that Jameson would have gone on fight
ing at Krugersdorp, but when his Off
GERS saw the Stats artillery coming up
with the Maxims in charge of German
gunners "flesh and blood could stand it
no longer" Jameson, adds the writer,
was watering his horse when Col. Scott
came up to him and said: "Sir, we must
surrender; it seems hopeless" The only
answer he got was: 81 will not sur
render; let them shoot me where L
stand, but surrender? Never!" The
colonel moved away, and the next min
ute up went the white flag.

VALUABLE SILVER DEPOSITED.
Some Rare Coins Sent to a Bank by .
Baltimore Widow.

A widow deposited 900 in quarters
and half dollars the other day in the
Second national bank of Washington.
A number of the pieces are worth much
more than their face value on account
of age, the value of many of them
reaching SIS. The widow who de
posted this strange collection of coins
told the officers of the bank that a
short time ago her husband died. They
were then living in Baltimore. During
his lifetime, unknown to her, he had
been interested in the collection of rare
coins. After his death she learned he
had considerable sum of money, all
in small denominations, in a vault in
the monumental city. The widow in
vestigated the report, and found $780,
900, half being in gold and the rest in
silver. The latter she brought to this
city, where she will in the future make
her home. The gold is still in Balti-
more, but will be transferred to Wash
ington in few days. The coins on
which there are premiums will be kept
separate and disposed of to the best adj
vantage.

PROVES HERSELF SPEEDY.
Remarkably Fast Trip of the Cruiser
OLYMPIA in Chinese Waters.

A recent speed run of the cruiser
Olympia between two Chinese ports was
made the subject of an official report
which has just reached the navy depart
ment. Notwithstanding very rough
weather, the Olympia averaged 20 knots
an hour and would have made % knots,
according to her officers, in smoother
water, thus becoming the second fast
est cruiser in the world.
The Minneapolis, of our navy, which
holds the record, made her remarkable
speed of 90 knots and fraction in her
official trial, where every condition was
favorable to speed, and where forced
draught was used.
The Olympia ran under natural
draught. Her Roadway was so great
that the decks were swept by the waves
and it was necessary to slow down TO
avoid damage. As it was some damage
occurred.
The Olympia was built under private
contract at the Union iron works, San
Francisco.

GET WE'LL AND STAY WELL.
Get Rid of What Makes You Sick and STAY
Rid of II.

II is so simple to be well that we won
der why there are so many sick people.
Come TO think about 1t, must be because
they don't know what's made them sick.
II they knew that, they could prevent
1t, and when they were sick, in some cases
cure themselves. But, so long as we don't
take more care of our health, we shall al .
WAYS be more or less sick
The simple rules OF health are: Keep
clean, take exercise, eat good food, scour
out your stomach.
This last means: Don't tolerate indi-
geStiOn. Cure IL with Shaker Digestive
Cordial A stomach full Of undigeSted,
fermented, putrId food is the unhealthiest
thing you can think Of
Half our diseases and troubles come
from the poisons of undigested food.
More than half of them could be cured
with Shaker Digestive Cordial.
More than half, because often when we
think we are sick we are only weak, and
course of nourishing food digested with :
out effort by the stomach with the aid OF
Shaker Digestive CordiaD would re-
inyigorate the whole system and make US
well.

Dark Russell VIII BE the Color Used for

dark russell tint, a shade warmer than
seal brown, but equally serviceable and
becoming"
The bonnet has become quite burn
ing question, and for the first time
since they put away worldly garments
the fair salvationists who have seeded
are deeply excited about spring head
gear. 1t is probable that choice will
be made of form resembling that of
the old-fashioned plaits called "the
cottage shape" 1t will be done in
brown straw, with sill1en trimmings
to match, and cannot fail to be exceed
ingly becoming to Mrs. Booth, whose
delicate complexion and chestnut hair
it will suit admirably, while some of the
blond Classics" will also look charming
in it. The uniform of the men will be
darkest blue. The officers are to wear
cavalry hats and the soldiers peaked
caps. ,aegJsg q sT.7's'F.'i '-sst

Married by Her Mother.
A very odd wedding occurred few
days ago at the residence of Rev. Mary
T. Whitney in Boston. The groom was
Rev. Carl G. Horst, the pastor of the
Second Unitarian church of Athol,
Mass. The bride was Miss Emily Ait
kin, of Boston, and the officiating min
lister was Rev. Martha C. Aitl1in, mother
of the bride. Cases where father mar
ries his daughter are not infrequent,
but this is, perhaps, the only instance
on record where a mother married her

When the Babies Cry.

A woman doctor, who is the wife OF a
well-known scientific man and explorer,
has an original way of treating her
babies when they cry. Her theory is
that when screaming child needs much
more air for its lungs than on ordinary
occasions. Her method of supplying
it would not be apt to find favor in the
eyes of less scientific mothers. She has
a good-sized basket, SO the story goes,
and when the baby cries it is placed in
it and hung out of the window until its
screams cease,

The Salvation Army held a mass meet

trip around the world. Gen. Booth, in
his address, referred Immediately to
the action of the Ballington Booths in
America, saying that he had returned
to meet one of the heaviest trials that
he had ever been called upon to face.
The American army, he asserted, stood,
almost to man, true to him. At the
conclusion of Gen. Booths address, the
Booth-Tuckers, who have been COM
missioned to the command of the army
in the United States, were called to
the front of the platform. The gen.
eral took each of them by the hand

A WONDERFUL WISCONSIN MAN.
ProdIgious Task Undertaken by an Aged
Cabinet Maker.


Out in the wilds of Wisconsin, in the
little rural village of Martintown, Green
county, lives one of the most Industrious
men of the century. He is Peter Haase,
q cabinet-maker. Ten years ago he con-
ceived the idea and perfected plans in
detail of the most ingenious and elabor-
ate combination bookcase and writing
cabinet in the world. Having saved
enough money to support him the re-
mainder of his life. he began the con-
struction of not only one of these cab
inets, but of 10, finishing a certain part
of each at the same time before advanc-
ing further.
The cabinets are inlaid with all of the
native woods, the boards having been in
his shop seasoning for over is years.
When completed the Is cabinets will
contain 100000 pieces of wood. Some
idea of the time required for the COM
pletion of this undertaking may be had
by knowing that it would take man,
working eight hours a day, one year to
simply sort and count 100000 such
pieces, many of which will have to be
handled 20 times by Mr.. Haase before
being permanently adjusted. The top
of each cabinet is to contain 1000 pieces
and each of the posts 1000. The aged
workman figures that it will take him
six years more to finish his work, and
the Is pieces of furniture will be com
pleted at the same time.
Mr.. Haase is II years of age, but is
hale, hearty and full of hope and de-
termination to complete this wonder
full work to which he applies himself
enthusiastically every workday. His
patience and perseverance are remarka-
BILE. He counts on each cabinet being
worth $5,OO0-$75, 900 for the lot-when
completed, and believes that investing
his time in making them will prove
more profitable than spending his
money on life insurance would have
been.

HEAVY CORN EXPORT.
The Low Price of the Cereal the Cause of
the Large Shipments.

The low price of corn has created a
demand for it in Europe, and as a re-
suit shipments have been very heavy,
especially from southern ports. The
crop of the south was far in excess of
its own needs. AS an instance of the
increase in this export trade, Port
Royal may be cited. Last year this port
cleared 10000 bags of -four and only
200, 900 bushels of corn. This year al
ready 1,25O,0OO bushels of corn have
been exported, and shipment of $780,
COO bushels more is already contracted
for. The south and west both contrib
ute to this supply.
