In Foula, one of the Shetland Islands,
the natives make business of rearing skau.

that congregate there and commit many
depredations. The magnificent red sand
Stone cliffs that skirt the northwestern
coast became favorite haunt of the eagles,
and in this inaccessible spot they increased
so rapidly that they became q terror to the
farmers and fishermen who dwell on this
isolated spot The skau gulls are also
strong and fierce, and theinveterate foeo
the eagle In battle the gulls are nearly
always victorious, and so the inhabitants
of Foula hit upon the novel plan of feed
ing and caring for skau gulls, which,
though formidable to their feathered enc
mics, are very peaceful and docile when
brought in contact with man.

And the little Arthur grew in stature,

sometimes raised her heart in grateful
prayer, as she remembered what might

of suffering from the freezing ehild-had
she slept, instead of walked, through that
bitter night.

Fell into a Furnace.

JOHNSON Cry, TENN, Dec. "a
Daniel Strickland, an employe of the iron
furnace company at this place, yesterday
while working on top of the furnace fell in,
and, descending sixteen feet, struck a half
molten crust of red hot iron. He seemed
about to sink to terrible death, when he
jumped to red hot bracket on one side.
In the meantime ladder was lowered
from above. He grabbed it and was
hauled to the top in an unconscious con
dition. His hands are terribly burned,
his left wrist twisted almost off and his
body badly burned in several places. He
will recover.

Condemns Irish Nationalist for
DESERVING the Cause of

UNSCRUPULOUS ENEMY OF LIBERTY.

Michael Davitt, who last week resigned
his seat in the British Parliament, has
given out the following statement setting
forth his reasons for that action:
my resignation from Parliament is
prompted by three reasons closely related
to each other. have spoken in the
House of this war with the Beers as
organized infamy' This is what the
civilized world outside of the jingoes,
will call it.
"But the House of Commons approves
this war, supplies the money for its pros
ecution and indorses the criminal policy
which led up to it. The only protest still
left to me to make against this monstrous
action of the British Parliament is to
cease to be a member of it.
Secondly feel most strongly about
the non-attendance of the Nationalist
members in the House during the fight
for the Transvaal's cause. To combat
the selfish ferocity of the jingo war policy
were left only Dillon and three or four
more of us, with an average backing of
thirty. In division our colleagues re-
manned in the Hobbies. This is disgrace
to the popular representatives OF Ireland,
who number eighty-one men. Some of
the absentees are known to be pro-British
and opposed to the Beers in this war.

The crest of Majuba Hill, that eternal
rock at the gateway to the Transvaal,
was red with English blood at midday
February 81, 1881. English soldiery,
men of the Ninety-fourth Foot, of the
Fifty-eight regiment, of the Sixteenth
Rifles, fed like leaves before the whirl-
wind Of the storm. Englishmen whose
name ard fame had been made in India,
elkisa, ne csnafisn. provinces 'v'ies-
ever the flag of the empire had advanced
stumbled over each other in agony of
fear, terror-stricken by the assault of the
Dutchmen of the South African republic.
From the line of the sea to the summit
of Majuba Hill is nearly 1000 feet. Two
thousand feet below the summit is a
rough plateau. The entrance to the
Transvaal country-the one military
route to the heart of Boer'and-is by way
Of this plateau underneath the shadow OF
Majuba, through Laing's Mex to the fer
tile pasturage of the valleys beyond. Sir
George Pomeroy colley knew this in
1881; the Right Honorable Joseph Cham
berlain knows il now. In 1881 no rail-
road entered this region. One traverses
1t now, but in the event of war II would
undoubtedly be quickly rendered useless.
The trails are narrow and rocky. The
slopes are of precipitous nature. 1t is
not a region for the deployment Of troops
and the giving Of battle with men face to
face. On the contrary, II is retreat for
the sharpshooter, the planner Of ambush
es. the solitary niarksman who rightly
placed may hold a company In check.

Make Music Hall a Bower
of Beauty.
PRESIDENT O'BRIEH'S EARNEST WORK

Judged by the attendance and enthus-
iasm displayed at St. Mary's Hall Mon
day evening, there is no longer any ques-
ton as to the success Of the bazar to be
held at Music Hall for the benefit Of the
Sisters of the Good Shepherd.
President Edward ]. O'Brien occupied
the chair and displayed his well-known
executive ability in the transaction of the
vast amount of business that was before
the meeting for final action. His remarks
upon taking the chair were Of pleasing
and encouraging nature, and aided in
working the big audience up to a high
degree Of enthusiasm, after which he re-
quested all to listen carefully to the read
ing Of the minutes and the reports in the
hands of Secretary John d. McDonough.
The reports from the different congre-
cations that will have booths at the bazar
were first called for. with gratifying re-
sponses from the ladies Of St. Boniface,
Sacred Heart, the Cathedral, St. Louis
Bertrand, St. Patrick's, Church of the
Immaculate Conception and others, show
ing that interest is increasing and a
friendly rivalry exists as to which congre-
CATION will make the best showing. The
smaller parishes will probably unite in
the part they may take.
The decoration of the hall and arrange
ments Of the various booths will be under
the supervision Of Mr.. Neil Curtin. Louis.

have been fought and the victory won
which will declare whether the people
of Kentucky will be governed for the
next four years by Senator William Goe-
bel or Gen. William S. Taylor. That it
has been one of the bitterest fights ever
waged in this Commonwealth no one will
deny. Father has fought son ard brother
has been against brother, each fighting
for their respective candidates. The
stanch friends and admirers Of Senator
CoebeI, who believe him the champion
Of the rights of the masses, claim that he
will win by 10000 majority, and on the
other hand the supporters Of Taylor pre-
dict that his majority will not be less than
49, 900. Only the fair count of the bal
lots on November will decide to whom
the victory belongs. If Senator Coebel's
friends are as numerous and tried and
true everywhere as here there would not
be the slightest doubt OF his election by
an overwhelming majority. Franklin
county will roll up a grand majority for
coebel and the whole ticket. Only few
days more and the hottest political battle
that ever ragged in the grand old State
will be over, and the victor will have
won a hard fought contest and we'll

was supported by the Fifty-eight regi-
ment, the Sixtieth Rifles and naval
, reserve. l,040 men in all. They were
trained soldiers. Kruger and Joubert
had 1000 Dutch farmers, familiar with
the rifle. The encounter cost Colley
1863 men killed and wounded, and they
were picked off in FIVE minutes time.
The Beers lost three. Colley retired to
Hatley's Hotel, while the Beers waited
to the west of Majuha Hill.
On the night of February 20 Colley
thought to surprise his opponents. He
led 700 of his men across the the plateau
at the foot of Majuba Hill and then to
the summit. He had parts of the Fifty
eight regiment, the Ninety-fourth Foot,
the Sixtieth Rifles, the Ninety-second
Gordon Highlanders and a naval brig
ade. They carried three days provisions
and eighty rounds of ammunition each.
Once on the summit they found there a
cuplike depression surrounded by piles OF
stone. Into this they went, confident
that they held the gateway to the Trans
vaal and that when reinforcements came
they could easily descend upon their
enemies and conquer. The morning OF
the 9th came, and with it the knowledge
to the Beers, 1000 feet down the west
approach to Majuba Hill, that the sum-
nit was held by Englishmen. What did
they dor
An English officer looking down from
his rocky perch into their camp saw them
loading their tents. and supplies into
wagons. As fast as wagon was filled ii
started down a trail into the interior of
the land. Thus, if defeated in what he
proposed to do, the Boer had made safe
his supplies and could retreat to provis-
ions. All that morning the Beers loaded
their wagons and the horses and oxen
drew them away.
"They are retreating !" cried an enthu-
siastic Englishman on the summit.
The soldiery broke into cheers. Merry
songs rang through the camp and there
was rejoicing over the easy victory.
Majuba Hill had been taken without the
loss of man.
But just at noon the last of the Boer
wagons disappeared from camp, and
then singular change came over the
Boer officers and men, whe we're in
plain sight of the English. They sud
denly caught up their swords and guns
and started on a stiff climb up the
frightful west front of Majuba Hill
right into the hands of the enemy. They
came up like mountain goats pursued
by the hunter Leaping from rock tc
rock, they managed to always keep theii
bodies in shelter. Little target did they
offer to those above. On their own part
! Whenever they saw AZ Epglish heal, liz
fred, and they bit. 1t was noted alter
the battle and when the dead were exam
ined that they had been shot through the
head, the best evidence in the world OF
fine workmanship.

juba Hill is bald-headed and bald-faced.
1t is a rearing, forbidding rock. This
noon in February long ago fire ran
along the lips of its summit, fire from
English guns passing harmlessly ovei
the assaiIants. Fire ran up its sides
from the guns of the Boer. and death
met the blaze at the hill crest. In les:
than an hour twenty officers and 26(
