The main portion of the buffers story
was related under cross-examiation.
He said he was summarily dismissed on
July 10 and paid only up 10 date. Asked
about the circumstances, he stated that at

Breakfast was late the next morning,

The senators Little Mistake.

day evening just before going out to at

ingly yothfui-lOOking man came brisklv
along the corridor. says the Washington
Post. There was something about the
young man that attracted attention. His
erect figure, faultlessly lad in black as
alert step his finely poised head, topped
by a silk hat of the latest fashion, his
clean-cut features, and bright eyes made
him an object OF general attention. Sena-

youthful-loOking man out TO his colleague.

an air OF recognition, he advanced tr-

The military operations in South Africa

so far from anything of The sort having
occurred. the British have beaten in two
important fights. upon grounds selected
by the enemy. and where the Beers could
practice their fayorite tactics.
The stigma OF Majuba HIN was wiped
out at Tarlana Hin, and the victory at
Elandslaagte left the balance of credit
largely on the British side. To have made
drawn battle of either of these engage
ments would have been creditable to the
British; to have made each of them a bril-
liant victory, as they did. adds greatest
lustre TO the British arms. The charge
of the Gordon Highlanders up Dargai
flights, in the Soudan, has been glorified
in story and song, but that charge, ac-
cordng to a member Of the organization
who was in both affairs, was as child's
play in comparison with the attack on
Elandslaagtc.
Too much Importance seems TO have
been attached TO the rife craftsmanship
of The Beers by everybody except the
British commanders. These latter, while
others were specializing upon the disas-
trous effects the Boer rifle practice would
have. took steps to discount any possible
superiority of Boer craftsmanship with
small arms by perfectng British marks

AN 1NroLnnAnLE NrIsANcE.

The warm season is ended. Already
there are suggestions Of frost I'm the air
nights and mornings. The danger period
OF the year, therefore is over, and sani-
tary matters may be discussed without oe-
casionlng any alarm.
The first attention Of the city authorities
ought 10 be given TO Bnbo canal, and il
should be given Immediately. That un-
speakable nuisance. the Ike OF whien
would be q disgrace to even "a haH-civiiized
community. is a perpetual stencil in the
nostrIls Of Savannah and menace to her
good health. There was a time when tic
canal was beyond the limits of ehe town
and its power for harm was very small
But that time is long since passed. Now
we have an open sewer, some twenty-five
feet wide at the water surface, forever
carrying It's fetid stream, in open air,
through a section that is thiclIy settled
Every day a thousand people or more must
breathe the poison laden air from the foul
stream, and every night the disgusting and
sickenlng fumes are waited into the bed
room windows Of hundreds of residents Of
Inc neighborhood. These facts are all well
known. They have long been known. The
conditions are growing worse all of the
time Why is Bilbo canal tolerated?
1t should not be tolerated longer. The
summer just ended should be the last one
of its existence. Before the next warm
season Bilbo canal should be memory,
howbeit most unsavory one. There Is
no great obstacle in the way OF this cons
summation most devouuy to be wished
The thing TO be done is to construct "A
closed sewer TO receive the discharge
which now goes through the canal A
twenty-four or thirty-inch sewer would do
che work. The sewer should go east from
Bolton or Gwinnett street into Collins
vile. and then north TO the river by
direct route. No exceptionally clever engl-
ueering would be necessary TO q solution
of the problem No experts from the North
would have to be consulted, and The en-
terprise could be pushed to completion be
fore spring. The county would probably
be willing 10 furnish cOnvicts to perform
The labor. If the authorities cannot see
their way clear 10 constructing perma-
nent sewer as suggested, then "a temporary
one ought to be put dOwn--One that Will
last for eight, ten or twelve years. A
permanent one would be better and
cheaper in the long run, but some sort o.

ought to be made TO go at once, and stand

a Russian Love story.

Let all subalterns take warning by the
misadventure which befell a young Rus
sian lieutenant, who loved young woman,
the daughter of dyer, not insensible to
the assiduous court which the young Off
Ger paid her. But the father proposed for
a son-in-law one of his own class, forbade
his daughter having anything to do with
the young man, and warned him off the
premises, says the Army and Navy Jour
nal. But the brave and passionate SOL
der took no heed of prohibition, though
had he been aware of the rod the dyer had
a pickle for him he might have hestated
The gay young militare came, then, to
visit his sweetheart when the dyer, who
was lying in ambush, rushed on him, seiz-
cd him by the shoulders and pitched him
headlong into a dyeing vat The wretch
ed fellow got out as best he could, but
covered from Head TO foot in a coating
of deepest crimson. He ran to a well to
wash, but the lac was sound and de-
clined to part The lieutenant went home
spent hours in soaping himself, brushing
himself and getting himself scrubbed by
his orderly. But all to no purpose. The
carmine did not pale. In despair he swal-
lowed his pride and took counsel of the
author of this condition q can advise
no remedy" said the dyer, that lac was
invented by me. and / fatter myself is
immovable." He then went 10 the chem
lists, who, under the application of certain
various metamorphoses. not, however. of
an altogether satisfactory character AL
though the officer has not recovered his
original color, he is progressing. He has
already passed from crimson to violet and
from violet TO green. So like the statue
of Liebig it is hoped, after ringing the
changes Of the rainbow, he will revert 10
his natural complexion. With that tickle
ness and ingrautude which characterizes
the fair sex, his well-beloved, far from
sympathizing with her lover in his mis-
fortune, only laughs al him.
