CONSIDER WAR INEVITABLE.
President Kruger Heard Repeating the
EiShty-Third Psalm.

London, Aug 31.-The Pretoria cor
respondent of The Morning Post says:
THE Boer officials, after reading the
cabled reports of Mr.. Chamberlain S
birmingham speech, consider that war
is inevitable. The speech has I'm
doubtedly infamed the war spirit here.
The Beers are now all armed, except
those in johannesburg. Their commits
sariat is fairly good. All the forts are
amply victualled. The johannesburg
fort has been strengthened with sew
which Mr.. Schreiner allowed to pass
through Cape Colony came direct to
Pretoria. 1t was never intended for the
Orange Free State.
President Kruger does not hesitate
to express the view that war is al
most inevitable. He has stocked the
presidency with ample supplies of pro-
visions to secure his own person from
privation, and he is often heard repeat
ing the eightythird Psalm.
1.-THE eighty-third Psalm has such
verses as these:
Keep not thou silence. o God: hold
not Thy peace, and be not still, o God
For, 10 thine enemies make a tumult;
and they that hate thee have lifted up
the head.
They have taken crafty counsel
against Iny people, ana consulted
against thy hidden ones.
20 my God, make them like a wheel;
as the stubble before the wind.
LAS the fire burneth a wood, and as
the fame setteth the mountains on
fire;
so prosecute them with thy tenn
pest. and make them afraid with thy
storm."l
THE Matabeles are showing signs
of unrest. The Beers are energetic
ally engaged in poisoning the minds of
the natives against the British, and
they have approached the Zulu chief
Dinizulu. who appears undecided which
cause to espouse. But the Zulus are
preparing for the expected fighting.
and IL must be remembered that DIM
zulu was deported to st. Helena with
several other chiefs and kept a prisoner
there by the British for several years"

Against Any Fusion.

Nominate a Full Ticket and Declare
Against Amy Fusion.
Des Moines. Ia, Aug. 31.-The Peo-
pies party state convention met here
yesterday with about 100 delegates
present. and nominated a state ticket
as follows: Governor, Charles A
Lloyd. Muscatine county; lieutenant
governor, S. NJ. Harvey, Polk; Judge
supreme court, L. H. Weller. Chicka-
saw; superintendent public instruc-
ton. c. Worth. Benton; railroad COM
missioner. Robert L. Dunning. Wa
pello.
The convention declared against
fusion and Endorsed Wharton Barker.
of Pennsylvania, and Ignatius Dom
nelly, of Minnesota, for president and
vice-president in 1900. The conven-
ton was addressed during the day by
Chairman A.W. c. Weeks, Professor
George d. Heron (of Iowa college)
and Joseph Parker, national organizer
of Kentucky. Weeks condemned the
"so-called" Populist convention re-
Gently held in Des Moines. saying that
ii showed what had been previously
claimed-that the Populists were being
seduced from the path of Populism to
become an aid society to the Demo-
cratic party.
He held that this year would be the
turning point in the history of the Peo-
pies party. Fusion. he said had been
officially killed by the Democrats OF
Iowa in the last convention. The
issues OF the campaign as outlined by
Weeks and incorporated in the plat
form are antitrust. bimetallism, in
dustrial freedom. anti-imperialism and
direct legislation. Weeks said: THE
state conventions of both the Republic
an and Democratic parties of Iowa have
denounced aggregations of capital. but
neither party has proposed an adequate
remedy. We declare the remedy for the
trust evil to be public ownership of
public utilities"
Weeks claimed that Bryan and the
Democracy were as responsible for the
Philippine war as the administration
itself The address of Professor Her
ron was an exposition of his well
known radical views on Christian"
Socialism

The VioIettrope shade,

An attempt has been made to COM
bine the two favorites, violet and he
liotrope, into one color. This new
combination is called "violettrope. ;"
and comes in dress goods of the mixed
variety, and also in stationery in the
notified English bond variety. The
two colors are quite distinctly trace
able in either material, and it takes
we'll with lovers of both shades. In
the stationery, the edge of the paper
is left in plain border, similar to the
Wedgwood blues. The envelopes have
the same narrow border The short note
IS now folded lengthwise of the paper
and placed in long, narrow envelope
with flap at the end. These enyelones
are unique, the little border follow
ing the shape of the paper in the back
In irregular foldings, which are grace

The Paris of Erypt.

Cairo is one of the most fashionable
capitals in the world. 1t is to Egypt
what Paris is to France. It is also the
largest city in Africa, and contains
anywhere from 100000 to 5000 peo-
pie. Its hotels are extensive in proper
ton, in luxury, and in prices. Cairo
is a conglomerate of all that is early
and something unearthly; babel OF
tongues, and babel of everything else.
A whole winter is not too much to
spend in Cairo. Everything is COM
posite; nothing concrete. You are
flooded with tumble of nationalities.
The bedizened horseman who fits by
your carriage is a Turk; the man near
ly run over just now wears ringlets
and is a Syrian Jew; the coal-black
man a Nubian. There are Italian
beauties, Hindoo monstrosities, Bed
ouin brigands, men in petticats, Par
thians, Modes and Elamites, and the

there can be no room for doubt of the
amount the pianist earned. There
never is in the earnings of great mu-

than the present attempt of aspiring
pianist visitors to make their appear
ances as weird as possible. They train
their hair into the most freakish WAYS

as miserable as they can-at least so
long as they are in front of the camera.
In the case of men provided by nature

these efforts at distortion are especially
distressing. They rarely manage to

WORK OF ART.
That Was Too Natural to Please a High

That Was Too Natural to Please a High
Toned Saloonist.
New York Tribune: The trials of an
artist are many and sore, but one en-
countered recently by a young New
Yorker who earns a scanty living with
his pencil and brush has its ludicrous
side also. Though his heart is true to
art for arts sake" the exigencies of
rent, clothes and food make necessary
an occasional resort to trick painting,
at which he is clever; and a liquor
dealer who was about to open a new
and extensively decorated saloon gave
him an order for something that will
put the laugh on a fresh customer"
Design, size, etc., were left wholly to
the artist; price not to exceed SIS; ac-
ceptance subject to approval. The ar
fist cudgeled his brains for time, and
then, procuring a small, rough deal
box, about twelve inches long and six
inches wide, spread his canvas on the
inside of the bottom of it. and painted
thereon about half pint of broken
peanut shells and a handful of broken
peanuts. He executed the work so we'll
that when the box, which had no cover,
was set on a table or bar and tilted
back against the wall the temptation
for man fond of peanuts to reach into
the box for one was almost irresistible,
and the artist tried the trick upon
some of his own friends with success
before taking it to the dealer. He asked
$50 for it. and felt that the money was
as good as in his pocket, but to his
intense disgust the man of spirits

The BIGGEST BATH YET.
Adolph sutro's Splendid Gift to san


Francisco.
The finest public bath in the world
is-no, not in New York. 1t is the
Sutro Bath of San Francisco, monu-
ment to the memory of a public-spirit-
ed mayor of the city. The Sutro Bath
is almost as big as Madison Square
Garden. 1t is 500 feet long and 254
feet wide; 100000 square feet of glass
disposed in its roof admit the light OF
day to its interior. A great swimming
tank stretches nearly the whole length
of the building, $50 feet long and $50
feet wide. 1t is amply long enough for
spirited swimming races. Numerous
smaller tanks are slowed about; alto
gether, they hold nearly two million
gallons of water. The great house is
built on solid rock foundation, hol-
lowed out to sea level. Pure salt wa
ter is admitted in vast quantities, per-
mitted to settle" in settling reser-
voirs, and then passed through the
tanks. There are SIT private dress
ing rooms and clubrooms. with ca
pacity for nine bathers each. Nearly
two thousand lockers are provided
Above the tanks are seven toboggan-
slides, nine spring boards, three ira
pezes, one high dive and thirty swing
ing-rings. For non-bathers there are
seats provided at one end, and a mu-
scum to while away their time in. The
seats will accommodate 7,400 spectators
and the restaurant will feed 1000 peo-
pie at once. From any place in the
building you can hear the waves of
the open sea breaking upon two mas
siye tone rip-rap breakwaters outside,
which contain 100000 cubic feet of
rock. The engines which pump the
water in and out are of enormous size.
They supply 5000 gallons every min
ute, fresh. clean and of the true sea
temperature, at low tide At high tide
the tanks are flooded without pumping.
