British Hearts Beat Faster Because Of
Good News
BROUGHT IN OFFICIAL DIS
PATCHES FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
GENERAL WHITE SHOWN TO
HAVE INFLICTED A SEVERE
DRUBBING UPON THE Beers
CAUGHT THE BOERS IN THE
REAR AND CUT THEIR WAY
THROUGH.

LONDON, November 7.-To-night's
welcome dispatches from the front
have rent the veil of gloom enveloping
Ladysmith showing the British garri-
son not merely standing on the logged
brilliant sorties. Accounts from differ
ent sources agree that the laconic Of
fetal distribution of Thursdays engage
ment as IAN effective Smelling of the
Boer lager" was unduly modest. 1t
appears that Gen. George White sent a
strong force of calvary and infantry
to attack the Beers at Tathams Farm,
about ten miles to the northwest, near
Besters, and apparently achieved a sur
prise, the Beers being caught on the
open veldt and cut to pieces and their
camp captured. Encouraged by this
success, Gen. White decided to risk
an even more important Engagement
on the following day, which was again
justified by success.
Ladysmith is isolated and a Boer
force had intercepted the railway be-
tween Ladysmith and Colenso. This
force on Friday had decended upon
Colenso and as shown by the dispatches
from Estcourt, had compelled a hur-
ried abandonment of Colenso and re,
tirement of the British to Estcourt.
Gen. White had ascertained that the
Beers were attacking Colenso, but he
was not aware of the British retire
ment. He had determined therefore TO
attack the Beers in the rear, thus hop
ing to achieve the double object Of
drawing off an attack upon the weak
garrison of Colenso and possibly OF re-
opening communication southwark.
The Beers had advanced southwark
until they had occupied the hills north
of Tugela river, and dominating Colen-
so on the other side of the stream.
These hills slope to plane that reaches
10 inc DdHhS VI AQ6CAd.
Gen. Whites division caught the
Beers in the rear and after the hills
had been shelled, the British infantry
stormed the position. Meanwhile the
British cavalry swept around the hills
and as the retreating enemy descended
into the plains with British bayonets
behind them and the river in front of
them, they were charged by the cavalry
and seemed to have persisted almost to
a man The British then returned TO
Ladysmith without coming into touch
with the Colenso garrison, which had
retired to Estcourt.
Sundays dispatch from Estcourt,
however, showed that an armored train
had been sent back to Colenso to re-
pair the line, and the next news may
possibly be of the restoration Of COM
munication with Ladysmith.
While the British troops were thus
engaged in successful endeavors 10

the situation inside Ladysmith, as
shown by an official dispatch from The
general at Estcourt. was most salts
factory, encouraging hope thai Sir
George White may yet completely re-
trieve his shaken reputation and that
his force may emerge triumphant from
the ordeal through which il is low
passing.

Both Bonner and Finnegan are get
ting into the best possible condition
for their bout before the Metropolitan
Athletic Club next Monday night, and
every indication points to a big crowd.
Bonner is training at his home in Phil
adelphia, and will not arrive in Wheel
ing until Saturday. He defeated Nick
Burley here, and patrons of the M. A.
G. will remember that it was one of
the best contests ever witnessed in this
vicinity.
Paddy Sheehan came down from
Pittsburg yesterday to take charge of
John Finnegan, who will train under
mis- care and direction until the night
of the contest. Sheehan is himself a
noted boxer, with record of 50 battles
since 1892, of which he lost six, drew
twelve and won thirty. In three con-
tests, no decision was given. His last
battle was with Jack Bennett, Of Nc
Keesport, who was given the decision
over him in twenty rounds at McKees-
port.
General regret was expressed by
friends of Oscar Gardner, over the poor
showing which he made against Martie
McCue in Brooklyn Monday night.
Many of them are of the opinion that
there is something behind the numerous
flukes in recent matches which he has
made. They cannot understand why
Bantry forfeited to him, as he is alleged
to have done. In fact, everything has
tended to strengthen their belief that
he is going backward. Those who are
associated with him, however, deny the
charges that he has been dissipating
and allege that he trained faithfully for
McCue. This being true, it puts Gard
ner in an even worse light, as the loss
of decision to McCue with Gardner in
good form, is blow from which he will
not soon recover. In any event, it
looks very much like Gardner will
never wear the coveted championship
belt.

SHOPWOMEN'S
VACATIONS.

| The soulleSSneSS or corporations and
capitalists has been so much enlarged
upon and preached about that when
one of these much decried organizations
| or individuals shows a tendency to be
fair or even generous to his employees
there is usually a tendency to depreci-
ate what is done, comparing it with
visionary standard of what ought to be
instead of with what others are doing
at the same time and under the same
conditions. Possibly the most unfortu-
| nate class of working women in the
summer are those who toll in the large
department shops.
On their feet from o'clock in the
morning until 6 at night. they have at
most but three-quarters of an hours
respite for rest at noon. All day they
are harassed by eXacting shoppers. and
even when the ventilation is Of the best
they breathe vitiated air. The hot sun
beats down with double ferceness
through the great glass skylights and
the tall show windows. These women
have no time to sit down, even IL they
were allowed to do so, for any length OF
time.
The best shops have seats provided
for employees who are not busy, but as
one seldom sees a shopgirl occupying
one it is more than probable that when
an employer notices that a shopwoman
is not always busy he soon replaces her
with some one who can better keep up
the appearance of business being brisk
When summer comes. the shopwoman
