is not improbable that the astute Boer
leaders studied his campaigns in forming
their plans of defense General Forests
tactics were fully as successful as those
of the Beers have been. They differed in
local circumstances only.
And at General Buffers request England,
too, has decided to enroll force of 10000
mounted infantry, to be called Imperial
Yeomanry." Officers and men are to pro-
vide their own horses, to wear shooting
jackets and the like. and to be good riders
and marksmen. No particular uniform will
be required. The new mounted force is to
consist of volunteers, both officers and
men. 1t is a new departure, one, too, that
bids fair to be very popular and very

STORY ABOUT KRUGER

From the Worcester Telegram.
John c. Haldimand, of Boston, was at
the Forest house last night, and talked with
a Telegram reporter an hour about South
Africa and the war between the Beers and
the British. Mr.. Haldimand's wife was
five years teacher in the Huguenot
schools in South Africa, and her aunt. Miss
Bliss, has been principal of all five of them
twenty-three years, since they were formed
Mrs. Haldimand has not a high opinion
of the Intellectual qualities of Paul Kruger,
president of the Boer republic. Once, while
she was in South Africa, Captain Slocum,
who made trip around the world in
small boat, called on him and talked with
him of his trip. During the conversation
he remarked that the world was round
Round" said Kruger, you are mistaken,
sir, the world is fiat" and he refused to
talk any more with Captain Slocum because
he said he did not speak the truth.

but move on horseback, and their mobility

NE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Ex-Governor Oates Card.

Governor Oates is certainly explicit in his
card addressed to the democrats of Ala
bama. In a series of paragraphs or planks
he defines his position upon nearly oil the
living questions of the day. He believes in
the election of United States senator's by
direct vote; he favors an early completion
of the Nlcara qua canal is in favor of whip
ping out Aguinaldo, but is opposed to an
nexation of the Philippines, and wants
above all else ballot reform, which can
come, he thinks, in just and satisfactory
manner only through a constitutional con-
ventlon. On this point he should have the
benefit of his own words:
In December the general assembly. and
the governor thought the voters of the state
capable of saying by their votes whether
or not they desired convention. In May
following. they had lost that confidence. By
their action at the called session of the
general assembly they said in substance to
the voters: I'VE are afraid to trust you;
you have nominated, out of 1873 delegates,
nine gold bugs, democrats who voted for
Palmer and Buckner in 1885,, and 1t is
not wise to hold a conventional is
end hence we will kill the serpent in its
shell We, with the approval of the gov
ernor, gave you the right to vote for or
against convention, but after full CONSUL
tation with him, as our unerring supreme
executive head, we have concluded that 1t
will not do to trust you. Tainted by con-
tact with nine goldbug lepers, the conven-
ton might lose its head and try to adopt
the gold standard right here in Alabama.
disfranchise negro, or do some other UNI
seemly thing, and hence to prevent the pos
sibility of such calamities, we disfranchise
you. the whole of you, on this question until
next time when it comes the governor
turn to ask you for another big office
And, suiting the action to the word, they
repealed the law which gave to the freemen
of Alabama the right to express their
opinions at the ballot box as to convention
or no convention.
Governor Oates is very frank and out
spoken as to all points except as to the
qualifications for voters in scheme of bal
lot reform. When we come to that point in
his card it is extremely dfficult to say what
he does. or does not favor. The truth is the
suffrage problem is an exceedingly difficult
one in any state that contains many worthy
white illiterates.

AT WORK ON A FLYING MACHINE

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
zone of the strange, indirect results of
the Boer war may be the perfecting of a
practical flying machine" said a gentleman
who has a fondness for mechanical prob
lens 1.-The man who has come nearest do
ing it thus far is Mr.. Hiram S. Maxim, the
inventor of the famous Maxim automatic
gun. Eight or nine years ago he be-
gan an elaborate series of experiments on
his fine private estate, near Kensington,
England. Roughly described, his machine
was an enormous kite, supplied with a pro-
peller run by a steam engine, the theory
being that it would be sustained in flight
by atmospheric pressure. He constructed
a two-mile railroad track along which the
acceptance as he called it, was to run, get
ting up enough velocity to enable it to leap
into space, and then he built several full
sized models.
MIR. Maxim is an accomplished mechan-
ical engineer, and he went about the work
in a thoroughly scientific fashion, feeling
his way and correcting defects as he went
along. OF course, such experimenting was
frightfully expensive and at the end of
three years, when he seemed to be just on
the verge of success he was obliged to stop
for lack of funds. He was too sensible a,
man to try to capitalize fiying-mach
company, so he quietly announced that he
was going back to gun-making and, when
he accumulated enough money, would take
a fresh start at the aeroplane.
"Since then business mas been brisk with
his house, and during the last six months
in particular the British government has
spent huge sums in purchasing his auto
matte gun. Meanwhile the United States
has patronized him to the extent of near a
quarter of a million and his Golfers are no
doubt pretty well refilled. 1t would act sur
prise me now to hear of him rasumiGg work
at any time on his flying macti.ss. He has
said repeatedly that it was the one great
drenm of his life."

General Wood in Havana.

General Brooke has issued proclamation
announcing his departure from the island,
and the incoming of General Wood as
the military and civil head of the gov
ernment. General Brooke recalls in his
proclamation the gains in various directions
of his wear of rule and it must be confessed
that those gains are very creditable to him
as an administrative as well as military
officer. The, island has become peaceful,
and even prosperous; the courts are open,
and so are many schools, and social affairs
are moving in their accustomed grooves.
General Brooke has no reason to reproach
himself over the accomplished tasks of a
single year.
The appointment of General Wood is felt
to be an important step towards solving the
difficult problems connected with the gov
eminent of Cuba. independence is to be
the lot of the Cubans when they are fitted
for it. To prepare them for it, and to say
when they are so prepared, are plainly diff
cult questions. To turn the island over to
the Cubans before they are fitted for self
government would but invite anarchy and
dictator who might not be friendly to the
United States.
No doubt there are ambitions Cubans who
think themselves competent to rule; but
the testimony of all intelligent observers
is to the effect that the majority of the peo-
pie on the island are not adapted to SELF
government To handle and control the
delicate questions growing out of the stu
alton will be General Woods task He is
believed to be specially adapted to the
work He possesses tact, judgment and
patience He is not a professional soldier,
having been a physician in active practice
before he became colonel of the Rough

serious difficulty in settling the Cuban prob
lem. He goes at any rate to Havana with
a favorable reputation both at home and
among the Cubans. He is popular at Santi-
ago. where he has been ever since he went
there as a conqueror of the Spaniards, and
an extension of his work to the entire
length of the island is hopefully regarded.

ONE woMAN,s TENACIrY WON

From the New York Tribune.
Mrs. Turner, mother of the young demo-
cratic member from Kentucky, became sep
arated at the capitol on Monday from her
son, who had her ticket for the members
gallery in his pocket. The rules We're strict
ly enforced, and although she gained AID
mittance to the gallery the Jealous door
keeper threatened that If she did not pro-
duce her ticket he would be compelled to
ask her to step out
mo" said Mrs. Turner, 81 shall not
move a step. 1 came here to see my baby
sworn in as a member of the house, and l
am going to see him sworn in. I have lost
him and I have no ticket, but 1 shall not
move a step from here until L see him take
the oath"
The doorkeeper, being a wise man, said
nothing further, and Mrs. Turner had the
happy privilege of seeing her son sworn in
to office.
This son, by the way, who succeeds Wal
ter Evans, is one of the youngest men in
the house, and his father, Oscar Turner,
represented what used to be known as the
"'Old Purchase District of the Blue Grass
state for nearly twenty years. Turner,
senior, came to Washington as a democrat
although he did not receive his nomina-
tfon on the regular ticket, and the party
organization being generally against him.
But that was nothing, he was glad enough
to run on the Independent ticket, and he
always won. Mr.. Turner was useful men,
Der in the house and an extremely wealthy
man, his estate when he died being valued
at nearly 50, 600, 900 His family took prom
inent part in social affairs when he was in

liable career for his son.

\ NEW FUNNY MAN ~ CONGRESS

u
From the Washington Star
There is a new funny man in congress.
He is MIR. Cushman of Washington. Many
humorous stories of his experience as a
candidate are being told by MIN, and it is
reported that he is having little difficulty
in keeping his fellow statesmen at the capt.
tai in a good humor most of the time.
Mr.. Cushman is representative at large
from his state During his recent cam
paign, he says, he stopped at a farmhouse
TO get a drink of water, and While the
farmers wife was attending to his wants
he asked:
"What's the political feeling around
here?
81 Dunno the woman replied. 81 never
go to political meetinis. They say there's
a congressman at large, and 1 think the
best thing for me to do is to stay at home''
Years ago men We're told that the Hon.
Galusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania had a
similar experience with a farmers wife,
but he undoubtedly made himself the herr
of an episode That didn't happen until
long afterward In this connection it is
painful to have to confess that Uncle
Dick" Oglesby was another who stole one
of Cushmans choicest stories before the
latter ever got chance to tell it. "Uncle
Dick used to say that during one of the
campaigns for governor of Illinois he stop
ped at a certain house for a drink or
water, and found the yard full of dirty
looking children. When the woman who
was supposed by MIN to be their mother
came out with the dpper he kissed each
of the little ones and said:
Madame, these are the sweetest chill
dren I have ever seen. They are little
beauties every one of em, and they all
seem to take after you. My name is Ogles-
by. I am running for governor of this
state. 1 wish you would tell their father
that have been here and that I think he
has the finest family 1 ever saw"
"But they amt got no father" the
woman replied. This is an orphan asy-
lum."
John Bright. Mr. Gladstone and Charles
Stuart Parnell, also, claimed to have had
this exerience, but they were all imposters.
Cushman is the real hero of the story He
says so himself, and the others are sus-
piciousy silent.
Our new humorst in congress is I'M
doubtedly a hummer. We shall not be
surprised to hear at any time now that the
identity Of the man from whom Mark
Twain stole the story of the Jumping
Frog of Calaveras County, has been es-
ia blshed.

If man only loves a woman we'll enough

The average woman will marry any man

You can generally guess nearest how old

A girl always lowers her voice like ii was
