THACKERAY'S FIRST POEM.
William Makepeace Thackeray's frs
attempt at verse has been discovered
in England. 1t was written in pencil
on a copy of Thucydides and bear:
the date: Charter House, 1927" L
runs as follows:
Loves like a mutton chop,
Soon il grows cold,
All its attractions hop
Ere it grows old.
Loves like the collie, sure
Both painful to endure;
Brandy's for both a cure,
So I've been told.
When for some fair the swain
Burns with desire;
In hymen's fatal chain
Eager to try her;
He weds as soon as he can,
And jumps-Unhappy man
Out of the frying pan
Into the fire.

that the lines of friendly assistance

speech is strong, peace favoring,

There are statesmen in Great
Britain who are not pleased with
the delay OF that government in
settling that controversy with Ven.
azuela, and who are Of the opinion
that arbitration should be sought
without any red tape business
about il. This is the sentiment Of
the English people as well, but the
sentiments of the people cut no ice
in determining a policy for the
Chamberlain government.

Cuba will be a desolation in
another year II the war continues,
and every vestige of her values out
sidse OF the land values them
selves will have disappeared. All
her improvements, her horses and
everything that makes for her
wealth is going up in the smoke of
incendiarism, or run out in the
blood OF slaughter and battle. She

John Bull papers construe Kru-
gers speech. into a declaration of
hostility against Britain. Why
Kruger should not see the need of
an alliance against the plots and
reasonable intents of Great Bril-
tain, would be a surprise indeed.
Kruger believes in avoiding the
evil that is so imminent by wise
banding Of the free and independ-
ent people of South Africa in one
agreement for defense.

There is no use in attempting to
stem the tide of popular and
congressional feeling in favor Of
increasing as rapidly as possible
the strength of the navy OF the
United States. 1t matters not a
hair, who gets in the way of this
increase will come to grief. The
senate does not express the senti-
ment OF the country and the house
does. This must be borne in mind
in considering congressional ac-
ton.

1t Is said that the Cubans would
accept fedora! self government,
but the authority for the state
ment is only general rumor, and
that is too unreliable to base any
opinions upon.
Jamison has been lucky in get
ting out OF the hands of Kruger. 1t
was his intention to capture Kruger
in the raid and bring him off a
prisoner. The tables have turned
and Jamison is on the under side.
Holmes has actually expressed a
desire to live little longer. He
wants to hire Mrs. Pietzel to inter-
cede for stay OF execution. Holmes
should have been above such weak

For the first time in the decade

Central Americas are at peace.
How long the blissful period will
continue is another conundrum
that no one guesses.
When Cuba is ready to accept
the reforms that Spain offers in
connection with selt.government
under federal control, there will
be chance for peace. Spain will
come to those terms.

MAN AND TEAM MISSING.
L. s. Russell Feared an Accident Has Be-
fallen His Driver.

L. S. Russell, a farmer living three
miles below New Castle, came to this
city on Thursday in search of a double
team and colored driver, which had
been missing from his place since early
Wednesday morning. He searched all
over the city, but could find no trace
of the man or the team.
Mr. Russell stated to a reporter OF
The Gazette that his driver. Will
liam Buckman, a large negro, left his
place for the Wilmington market early
Wednesday morning with a double team
and load of marketing. He was ex-
pected home in the evening, and when
he failed to appear Mr.. Russell become
alarmed. He made inquiry of his
neighbors, but mono of them could
throw any light on the matter.
Mr.. Russell became alarmed when he
arose on Thursday and found that the
man and Team were still missing He
concluded that an accident must have
happened and he came to Wilmington
to see what was the matter. Inquiry
was made at the police station, where
the information was given that nothing
was known of man or team.
Mr.. Russell stated that he did not
think the colored man had stolen the
team, as he thought he was honest, but
he feared that he might have met with
some accident. Mr.. Russell started for
home about noon, with the intention
of stopping at New Castle and making
further inquiry.
Mr.. Russell, however, was partially
rewarded Thursday afternoon when he
found the team hitched at Third and
Orange streets. The negro driver was
not there, however, and no trace Of
him could be found. Finally after
making fruitless search for the
negro, Mr.. Russell went home without
| him.
The wagon was empty and Mr.. Rus
sell supposed that the contents had
been sold and the negro had either ap-
propriated or lost the money. How
ever, as he was glad to find the team,
he decided to give up the search fol

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. %. The latest
advices from China tell of the uttering
by Chinese forgers on the Island of
Java of $1,000, 600 of Java bank notes.
In order to get the notes accepted forged
notary acceptances were placed or
them. Already GOO, 600 pounds of forced
and discounted notes have been dis
covered and many prominent Chinese
merchants have been placed under
arrest, including Capt. China, one of
the weathiest Cinnamon in Java. 1t
is believed by the police that the
forgeries were completed in Singapore.
Kwee Che Soe native of China, now
resident of Sourabaya, and band
of native etchers have been arrested.
Soc has confessed to having committed
the forgeries and duplicates many
others, all of whom insist they are in
nocent.
The forgeries were discovered through
lawyer named Gericke. One house,
that of Tan Kim Tiiang, discounted
300, 600 pounds of forged notes and
Nash & Go. discounted l30. 900 pounds.
Other houses that discounted largely
are practically bankrupt. Nearly all
the leading Chinese merchants of Java
have been victimized.
ooe Is noteu Tor MS cunning. MoSt
of the notes made under his instruc-
tions were for 1000 pounds each. On
searching his house the forged seals of
notary which had been used to forge
his name on acceptance were found, as
were also a number of forged bank
notes of 500 pounds, which had been
recently made. Soc at once admitted
that he had been discovered and offered
to give the names of all the other cul-
prits. The first name given as being
one of the principals of the gang was
Kong Kee, an old man born in China,
but who emigrated to Java. When
his house was searched the police found
engraved plates and other tools which
had been used for the forgeries. At
the same time some finished bank notes
and also some in course of being com
pleted, of the value of 300 pounds, were
found.
