The strongest points about this
practically ununiformed & strange
ly organized Beer army are both in
dividual-the individual ability OF
the Beer at strategy and his indi
vidual ability as sharpshooter.c
The favorite topic of conversation
among the Beers has always been
how best TO meet the British when
they come to destroy the republics.
how to fight the great defensive war
which every Roer has felt sure would
inevitably come. The plans that are
being carried out and will be carrie d
out are the result of years upon
years of study of the situation by
the burghers of all ranks, consulting
together upon the stoops of thei1
matched houses of evening. Th.
Boer is natural strategist, viii,
crafty, hard to corner, quick to seizr
the slightest advantage, quick to see
ad santa9e when even trained sold
iers of other nations would fail t.
see it.
tt is a mistake to suppose that
the Beers have deteriorated l.:
Workmanship. The English have
got that impression from a superb
cial observation of the Beers of the
large towns. The villagers and
farmers are as sure of shot az of old.

CAN FIGHT IN MOUNTAINS.

If the British try to go up into
the republics by way of Natal they
must traverse the Drakeusourg
Mountains, the only great range in
South Africa. The peaks of these
mountains rise as high as 1000
feet. The way through the range is
a tortuous course along steep cliffs
and above yawning precipices.-
Every few hur dred yards there is an
impreguable position.
The evaporation of the lowlands
condenses there and gives plenty Of
water for force intrcurhcd high
among the rocks Forage, too, is
plenty. a few men can hold out in

take heavy artillery with them-s

Ebony was known and highly es'
teemed by the ancients as an article Of
luxury and was used by them for a
variety Of purposes
In India IL is said that it was en-
ployed by kings for scepters and also
for images on account of its sup
posed auagonism TO polsons, 1t was
used largely for drinking cups.
The name ebony is given to the wood
of several varieties Of trees. All kinds
of ebony are distinguished for their
great density and dark color The
wood ln all varieties is heavier than
water. The heaviest varieties are the
darkest The other grades require a
considerable amount of staining tc
make them black.
Ebony is Of a uniform color through
out and viii not show any deteriora
ton even from long continued use.
There are three varieties of ebony
well known in commerce. The ebony
from the Gaboon coast Of Africa is the
darkest The Madagascar ebony is tn,
denseSt. The Macassar ebony furnish
es the largest pieces. 1t is sold by
weight
limitations Of ebony can always b,
distinguished by their lighter weight
and the cheaper limitations can be de
tected by merely scratching the sur
face.-Jewelers Weekly.

Marc, the magician. whose personality is
much more suggestive Of a prosperous young
stock broker than IL is Of second cousin 10
his Satanic majesty as one Of his admirers
has styled him. had a curious experience on a
train In Nebraska one day this fall. A nice
looking old lady sat in one Of the seats Of a
day coach with a basket Of eggs beside her.
In passing through the car Marc saw a
chance for little harmless fun. Lifting his
hat to her he asked If the eggs we're for sale,
and if she would sell him single one. She
declined TO sell but said she would give him
one. He thanked her took the egg and
placing it to his ear said he thought he heard
something inside. She declared that i'm
possible as the eggs we're strictly fresh.
Marc tapped the shell with the end of his
pocket knife aud as it cracked open a perky
young canary rufled it's feathers and gave a
cheerful peep Of freedom. And with the
bulging eyes Of the startled passenger fixed
upon him he tossed the tiny creature into the
air who're IL completely vanished. Then.
turning to long-bearded man. who had
b, eu an open mouthed spectator Of the in.
cideut, he deftly extracted an egg from his
luxuriant whiskers and passed it back to the
old lady. She refused to touch it, however,
aud squeezed up against the window to get as
far away as possible from the uncanpy mau.
II was an hour before she was able to ap.
preciste that the whole affair was only a
clever bit of necromancy.
Marc will appear IN Shenandoah ON the
llth inst, at Fergusons theatre, as the open

BRENNAN MUST HANG.
The supreme Court Refuses to Grant Him
New Trial

New Trial
The Supreme Court has passed upon the
appeal Of Thomas Brennan, Of New Phila-
delpha found guilty Of the murder of Harry
Elliott, on June Bird last, and refuses TO
grant him new trial. Brennan has but one
moie chance to escape the gallows and that
is an appeal to the Board Of Pardons. The
Governor, however, will fix day for
Brennan's execution whether that appeal is
made or not.
The crime for which Thomas Brennan will
suffer death on the scaffold was committed
in New Philadelphia ON the evening Of June
2nd. 1899. The details of the murder Of
which he was convicted at the July term are
still fresh in the minds of the people
throughout this county and no one more
| fully understands It's Nervousness better than
the condemned man himself A bitter feel
lug existed for some time between Thomas
Brennan and Harry Elliott, both of whom
we're employed at the colliery. Brennan,
however was defeated for constable in that
borough several years ago, and this en-
gcndered greater hostile feeling between
the two men and their friends. On the after
noon Of June End 1899. when Brennan re-
ceived his pay check he was several days
short for which he held Elliott responsible.
Brennan attributed this shortage to Elliotts
wilful neglect and after going to his boarding
house and eating his supper he went forth
with to Elliotts house. The latter was
washing himself in the presence of his
family when Brennan deliberately drew a
revolver and inflicted wounds from which
Elliott died the next day. Brennan said +;
II done it and / am satisfied to die for it.
The crime is regarded as one of the most
brutal ever committed in the county and it is
safe to say Brennan has little hope of escap-
inc ifs pxniatinu IN the OaIlowa
