ON TRIAL AT PRETORIA.
Nature of the Charges Brought Against the
Uitlanders Arrested at Johannesburg.

Pretoria, February 1.-THE examination
of the prisoners who were arrested at
Johannesburg and brought here for trial
was formally opened Monday.
After the reading of the charges against
them further hearing was set for Tues
day.
The prisoners were formally accused of
having held possession OF the city OF
Johannesburg by force for some time.
and Of having openly ayowed their OPP
position to the government of the South
African Republic.
The evidence showed that the Reform
Committee, of which the accused were
members, caused proclamation to be
prepared declaring that provisional
government was necessary, as DR.. Jane
son, the leader of the raid into TIansyaal,
was expected at Johannesburg and dis
orders might ensue.
Though this proclamation was pre-
pared it was not issued.

LIFE SAVERS GALLANT WORK.
Men to Land-Sailors Had Given Uy All
Hope of Rescue.

Patchoque. L. l., February 1.-THE
steamer Lam ington, which was stranded
on the Great South beach, opposite this
| place during the fog on Tuesday night,
is total loss, but all the men on board
were rescued, the last being brought to
| shore at 9. 25 O'Clock today.
| There were 90 men on board all night
during the storm that prevailed here.
Nineteen of the men were from Merritt
| Wreoking Company and the four others
were part of the crew of the Il-fated
vessel. A line was sent to them early
today by the Lone Hill life-savers, and
the unfortunate men were brought to the
shore as fast as possible. There was
great shout of triumph when the last
man landed OH the beach.
| Hundreds OF the people of this village,
who had been all night assisting the life
savers, were present when the line was
successfully shot into the rigging of tho
vessel. They were oyerjoyed at the sue
cess of their efforts, and they made every
| arrangement for the comfort of the res
cued men.
The wind YVES blowing at terrific
rate while the life-saveIs worked early
today. There was high sea running
ana tremendous waves dashed over the
doomed vessel and made the work of
rescuing extremely difficult. But the
life savers were backed up by the brave
villagers who made every personal saori-
flee to help in the work Of rescue. The
storm was SO fierce before midnight that
the men on the Harrington let loose the
haWser OF the life-saying apparatus and
took to the rigging.
Before they cast off the line Capt.
Rouke Of the live-savers signalled them
to hold tbs line, but they evidently did
not understand him.
The life-saving crew made an effort
to shoot a line to the vessel, but they
were unsuccessful until nearly midnight.
The men on the ship. however, did not
| see this line until early today, although
the life savers kept signals going all
night. When the exhausted mon dis
covered that there were hopes for their
rescue they put forth all of their strength
and with the assistance of the life savers
they were taken to the shore.
The men on thu Huntington believed
last night that they were doomed, and
their gratitude today to the hardy crew
of the LopeHil station knew no bourus,
AS the last man left the vessel she was
rapidly goingato pieces. She had been
pounding about all night.

THE MODE IN SHOES.

Narrow pointed shoes and slippers are
no longer fashionable, and the very lat
est styles are both sensible and becom-
ing giving sufficient breadth across the
ball OF the foot and having a rounded
toe that is happy medium between
the needle point and the square. Even
i'll the cheap qualities of shoes the good
shapes can be found now, if care be
taken to choose those that have the
soles broad, the uppers narrow, and the
vamps long enough. Tan shoes are not
becoming when the foot is large, but
they are the correct wear in summer,
and are SO much cooler than the black
ones that they are universally worn.
Patent leather shoes and patent leath-
er trimmings are for full dress White
shoes are worn with white gowns-if
ones feet are small. Dongola, with q
dull finish, which is kept in condition
by cream dressing, takes the place of
the polished calfskin which is used for
winter service. Bronze and black Slip
pers and the tan Suede are in all styles
for evening wear while for evening
gowns the slippers are made of the ma
terial of the gown The embroidered
tips on slippers are exceedingly eff
fectiVe. Seed pearls and brilliants are
combined in endless variety of pattern
On bronze slippers there is often used
an iridecsent brown beading, while
steel on the black is still fashionable.
Even on slippers the medium high heel
is preferred to the Louis QunZe. and
no shoes or boots have high heels. so
