his food" The eminent practitioner has
evidently missed his speciality. He should

Cant. GPiGley'S Monument.

The memory of Capt Charles E. Grid
ley, who died shortly after the battle
Of Manila, in which he commanded the
Olympia. will be fttingly preserved by
the city CT Erie, Pa, in which his ashes
lie. On an eminence along the shore of
Lake Erie, where it can be seen for
miles by land and water, beautiful
monument is to be erected and sur
rounded by drives. The design for the
monument has been approved by the
Gridley family, and the committee in
charge Of the work. The design shows
a shaft which viii rise seventy feet from
the ground. 1t will be constructed of
granite and is to be finished with a ped
estal Of handsome proportions. On the
front will appear the arms of the United
States surmounted by a sheaf of board
ing pixies, fages and sabers. all domi-
mated by an eagle in bronze. Directly
below will be a bronze medallion of Capt
Gridley with Il sword on either side. On
the opposite side Of the base from the
coat of arms it is proposed to place
representation Of the Olympia. On an
other side will be presented the scene
of the battle of Manila bay, while an
other suitable design will be on the
fourth side. The famous words of Ad-
miral Dewey to Capt. Gridley, which
have passed into motto, ''You may fire
when ready, Gridley," are to occupy a
position in connection with the bust Of

Face to Face with Kruger.

Here was Paul Kruger just as every
newspaper reader has often seen him de-
plcted, whether in porrait or caricature.
The peculiar Kruger beard, sparse, close
and long enough to conceal perfectly a
thick, short neck; the narrow, grayish
eyes, large ears with heavy lobes, prom.
inent nose that suggests spatulation, a
wide mouth firm chin, and a body so
thin that it makes his legs look short and
slender III comparison. Kruger's head
and features are massive. They give the
Idea OF sluggishness rather than acute
ness and strength. This impression,
however, is offset by the eyes, which arc
topped with heavy brows, and have I'M
derneath putfs of flesh which help to cen
ceai them. These eyes, during CONVEX
satlon, narrow to a mere CLINT and give
one the idea of stiffness. His skin is
broWnlsh-yellow, and the countenance
shows many a furrow The teeth care
strong. irregular and not white. His
arms are rather long. The hands mus
cular, and the fingers short. His left
thumb is missing. He lost this when
out hunting elephants one day. An old
rifle exploded in his hand and the thumb
was torn IN shreds. His friends said
'Let us hurry to surgeon and have it
amputated.'' Kruger said, 'Ikona! I
will cut it off myself" With that he
whipped out rusty hunting knife, and

mediately, for he is holding his short.
crooked briar pipe in his four fingers.
You know, therefore, that this man is
brave. That he can cope with the most
able statesmen of Europe, however, seems
absurd. You feel that he has been
greatly overestimated. He must be trav-

London. Nov. 25-The reported deter

President Kruger to allow Consul-Gen-

British agent at Pretoria has created

Old Firewood Breeds Poison.

A strange complaint which has lately
been prostrating large numbers Of Par

men to rather peculiar cause. This is
the presence in the patients morning rolls

have been baked. According to the med

an edict forbidding the employment by

ADAMS ADVOCATES
COLLEGE SPIRIT.
He Says Eastern Colleges Are
Ahead Of Wisconsin in Proper
Enthusiasm.

Madison, Wis, Nov. 25.-[Special. L
In referring to the great struggle between
the East and West for football suprem-
acy, President Adams took occasion yes
terday to address the students on college
spirit and enthusiasm. He said that the
the recent game at New Haven, Conn.,,
with Yale was an object lesson for the
Wisconsin university students in the way
Of organizing for public manifestations of
loyalty to The alma mater. He explained
in detail how IN the East the students
banded themselves together anywhere
and everywhere. either by classes or by
other divisions. for. the purpose of exer-
cising their enthusiasm together. That,
he said, was the well-known characteris-
tic of the great Eastern colleges, Yale
and Princeton. Every student of these
great schools, no matter where he may
be- makes it known where he was given
his collegiate education. No doubt the
success in life of many of the students
has been attributable to this college spir-
it.
President Adams went ON to speak of
the lack of this enthusiasm among the stu
dents, both past and present, in Wiscon-
sin. He urged that there be more pomp
and ceremony, instead of that extreme
simplicity which characterizes the pres
ent conditions, and he showed how at
Yale at chapel exercises the students
lined up with becoming soldierly grace
when the president walked down the
aisle. He spoke of their more dignifed
bearing and the snap with which they ex-
ecuted their public demonstrations. En-
thusiasm for the alma mater is a moral
merit. 1t should be cultivated by every
one who has ever attended the university
and the good influence of college life
should be spread among those who have
not been so fortunate as to enjoy it.

Churchi1Ps Opinion of the Pending
War in South Africa


War in South Africa.
Pretoria, Nov. 25.-Through the conr-
tesy of the Transvaal authorities, the
correspondent of the Associated press
here was enabled to visit Winston
Churchill at the model school, where he
is confined with the captured officers
Beyond a slight bullet wound in the right
hand he seemed well. Mr.. Churchill
said:
The Beers have treated us with much
kindness. They praised our defense of
the armored train and expressed surprise
that the locomotive was saved from be-
coming a hopeless wreck, as they ex-
pected, under their artillery fire.
On the journey here great numbers of
burghers crowded to see us but there
was only one who made insulting re-
marks, the others courteousy Offering us
cigarettes, or showing such marks of at
tentiOn."
When asked regarding his general inn
pressions he said he had had many dis
cussions with the Beers as to the rights
of the war, and had been much impressed
by the number who could speak English.
He had found that most of them regret
ted the conflict, asserting that it had
arisen as the result of misrepresentation
SO far as he could learn, however, the
spirit of the burghers in the field, despite
their privationS, was most determined,
and there was no chance of an early
peace"

struggle will be bloody and protra cted -

from Again.
London. Nov. 25.-The various reports
from Belmont add nothing of substantial
value to Gen. Methuen's dispatch OF yes
terday. On one point there is practical
concurrence of opinion, namely, that a
lack of cavalry prevented an efficient
pursuit of the enemy, and the victory,
therefore. cannot be utilized to its fullest
extent. Indeed there is disposition in
many quarters to suspect that the affair
was very far from the crushing blow
the man in the street fondly believes it
to have been.
The military expert Of the Morning
Post says: 'It is idle to expect that the
Beers will be greatly shaken. They have
been beaten, but. apparently, defeat is
with them one of the conditions of sue
cess. Since they carried most of their
dead with them. their retreat was evil
IDENTITY foreseen and unhurried, and their
losses, except in prisoners. were probably
no heavier than ours. Their force, we
fancy, will be heard of again
MafekinC in Danger.
The reports, while confirming the ac-
count of the comparative harmlessness
of the Smelling of Mafeking, say that the
Beers continue to sap and approach the
town by parallels There is no question
that before long not only their shells but
their rifle fire will render the streets
impossible. and even the British forti-
fed positions exceedingly dangerous The
British have already suffered heavily.
and the numbers with which the enemy
is investing the place make it impossible
for Col. BadenPowell to do more than
prevent the Beers from carrying the
town by storm, but there is no question
of surrender. The British are prepared
to suffer more before it comes to that.
