FORCED TO RETREAT.
British Troops Retire from Town of
Observation-Disclosures in
Peril.

Pretoria, Oct. 17.-Gen. Kock, of the
Transvaal army, occupies Newcastle
with strong force of burghers. The
town was taken Saturday, the British
force having retired to Ladysmith.
The burghers have destroyed the
bridge over the Molopo river at MAIZE
king.
A whole train load of dynamite on the
Cape railway in Bechuanaland has been
blown up by the Transvaal commands
operating there. The locomotive es-
capped to Mafel>ing amid heavy fire
from the burghers.
London, Oct. 1G.-The only salient
facts in the mornings kilograms are
that the Beers have advanced beyond
Newcastle and formed lager near
Bannhauser, about 12 miles north of
Dundee, and that Kimberley is isolated
and probably invested. Kimberley has
interest.
Washington, Oct. 1.-THE state de-
partment has been informed by the
cable companies that telegraphic COM
munication with the Transvaal has
been completely interrupted. The de-
partment is thus cut off from commune
cation with United States Consul Ma
crum, at Pretoria.
Cape Town, Oct. 16.-Flowcrdew, the
engine driver of Capt. Nesbitt's train,
which was derailed and bombarded by
the Beers, states that if the train had
returned when warning was received
that the Beers held the line it could
easily have made it's way back tn Mari
bogo, but Capt. Nesbitt insisted upon
an endeavor being made to reach MAIZE
king. Flowerdew says:
when the pilot engine was derailed. we
spent half hour trying t. replace it on the
track. Then the Beers commenced firing,
and several men were wounded. The firing
was kept up all night. but without effect
The Beers were careful to concentrate
their fire upon the engines. so as to save
the armored carriage and ammunition
trucks. AT dawn they commenced to bonn
bard the cars. l escaped by crawling IL
miles on my belly in the sand. When both
engines were destroyed Capt. Nesbitt ex-
hibited flags of truce, but the Beers con-
tinued their firing for another quarter of an
hour. There is no doubt that all the others
on the train are prisoners and that the car
riage and the ammunition intact fell into
the hands of the Beers"

Greatest Scientists Were Catholics.

No, it is not truc--lct us repeat it
ii is not true that the great scientists
OF the world have been atheists or men
OF rreligious bias. Their writings and
their lives prove the contrary. They
have been Catholics, or men who have
been under the benign and inspiring
influence OF Catholic teaching. From
Leonardo da Vinci and Copcrnicus and
Calico and Pascal and Descartes, all
devoted Catholics; from Volta, Ampere
and Galvani, their co-rcligionists, to
Father Secchi, Barrande Chevreul,
Hermitc. Van Banedin and Pasteur, OF
The same glorious household of the
faith, the torch-bearers of science have
always been as distinguished for the
ardor of their religious convictions as
they have been eminent for their attcin-
ments in the various branches of natural
knowledge.-Rev. ]. A. Zahm, c. S C..

"The other day when we we're driving
down town behind our family rhino
ceros, we came upon an aged man tear
ing bridge to pieces and placing it
upon c wagon" writes the editor of a
Nebraska paper. Gas the bridge was
one that we needed in our business,
we asked the ancient mariner what he
was doing with it, and, in which case,
or why so, or words to that effect. He
replied: My eyesight is poor and l
have not my spectacles with me; I'M
derstand that many advertisements
are painted upon this bridge, and l
am taking it home in order that I may
read them and find out where to get
bargains. The long winter evenings
are coming, and want to lay in sup
ply of bridges and board fences and
barn doors, that may sit by my fire
side and read what the merchants have
to say We told him that the news
papers contained more advertisements
than the bridges and better ones, too;
but he said that the print in the news
papers is too fine. We drove away,
glad that the bridge and fence adver-
tisers have at least one regular reader"
