FOOLED THE GIRLS.

Chicago Record: 1t came about this
way: The girl from another city had
just arrived and her friends were telling
her what to expect.
ooh, you'll get acquainted quick
enough" said Clara, because everybody
knows all about everybody else in this
place; but I'll tell you about a few of 'em,
to begin with, SO you won't be surprised.
Here, put this cushion back of your head.
These window seats aren't much good
without plenty of pillows. Now, there
are the Marvin girls-they're great fun.
We are getting up a play and you are to
be in it, but never mind that now. Then
there is Jack Fuller, all the girls just rave
over him: and Fred Fellows. he's good
looking but awfully conceited; and Elmer
Pike, he'll be making owe to you in about
an hour after you meet him. Then there
is Grace Calhoun. The Dillingham; boys
are dreadfully gone on Grace, and we
think she's engaged to one, but we don't
know which. In fact, you can hardly tell
them apart, they look so much alike The
only difference is that one has gold in one
of his front teeth and when he laughs 1T
shows. That is Irving; the other Allen.
He'll be here this evening and you can
see for yourself-lrving, l mean .
But how am I to see his teeth?" asked
the visitor.
ooh, Wen make him laugh. I'll learn a
few jokes on purpose
The plan would have worked all right II
the brother of one of the girls hadn't
overheard the plot and put his friend on
his guard. The young man arrived ac-
cording to expectation, but his serious
ness would have lone credit to a grave
digger. He failed to see anything 1unhy
in Clara's observation about the weather,
although the girls went off into peals OF
laughter, and then stopped SUDDEN
when they realized they were. the only
ones who were amused. One after an
other the girls tried their stories, but won
from the young man only the falntest
smiles. He made a few polite remark
and then took his departure, ana tne silts
told their visitor they couldn't imagine
! VIII at was them matter with him. -

REPORTED RISING OF
BASUTOS AGAINST BOERS

LONDON, Nov. 5.-According to a spe-
cial dispatch from Cape Town it is re-
ported there that the Basutos have risen
against the Orange Free State Beers.
The Government has received no lnfor-
nation on this point.
A special dispatch from Ladysmith, filed
Thursday afternoon, says: while the
naval brigade was pounding away at the
Boer batteries this morning a party of
British cavalry and volunteers were sent
out. Creeping around the hills, they sur
prised and captured one of the enemy s
camps"
A special dispatch from Ladysmith de-
scribing the engagement at Besters Hill
says the Beers were completely routed
and suffered heavy loss. Their entire
camp was captured. The correspondent
goes on to say:
''An artillery duel is in progress. A
British shell struck a Boer 4O-pounder
and completely wrecked it,
The transports have just been secured
for the Woolwich howitzer brigade,
which will be hurried to the Cape. The
brigade has 10000 rounds of 5-inch lyd-
dite shells awaiting it. According to the
estimates, a single shell, falling into a
compact body, will kill 300 men. 1t was
demonstrated in the battle of Omdur-
man, which destroyed the army of Kha-
lifa Abdullah, that large numbers of
Dervishes were killed by suffoca ton,
while hundreds of vultures and eagles
fell on the battlefield from the same
cause
The San Francisco call., 1899-11-06

1.-The enemy now appears to be await
ing information before making a further
move to the south. The impression here
IS that the removal of the Stormberg
camp may result in large number of
the Colonial Beers joining the army. The
English section is utterly upset at the
withdrawal of Boer troops and the serious
news from Natal"
The Cape Town correspondent Of the
Daily Mail says he understands that, In
addition TO Stormberg, Rosemead juno
ton and Naauwport are to be evacuated.
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Standard telegraphing Wednesday says:
The British first class protected
cruiser Terrible is steaming at full speed
from Simonstown, Cape Colony, for Dur
pan, Natal There is some disquietude
mere in consequence of a message from
Pretoria giving Commandant Kronjes re-
port OF his operations against Mafeking.

FINE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF
BOER SHARPSH00TERS

LONDON. Nov. 5.-A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Kuruman, British Bech-
uanaland, dated November 2, says:
Three hundred Bechuanaland Beers
have joined Commandant De Lacy's force
which has gone to Kimberley, leaving
only 200 men at Vryburg."
G.. w. Stevens. describing for the Mail
the affair at Nicholsons Mex, says:
1.-The Beers shot magnificently The
moment a Britisher raised his head to
see where the enemy were, he instantly
fell back with bullet in it. On the other
hand, after the engagement, the Beers
acted with the greatest kindness to the
wounded and unwounded. They spent
the afternoon singing doleful hymns-and
they had reason to be doleful, for they
had lost many men,
The San Francisco call., 1899-11-06

London is that the Beers are now wait
ing for more guns from Pretoria before
attacking Ladysmith. The fact that Sir
Redvers Butler appears to have ordered
a retirement from Stormberg, and per-
haps from other places, relieves to some
extent the public mind. which otherwise
would have been further alarmed. Cons
fldence is felt in any measures that Cen
eral Butler may deem desirable. The
knowledge that the pigeon post is work
ing has also come as q relief to the great
anxiety previously felt.
The third-class cruiser Pelorus has been
ordered from Gibraltar to Durham and
the third-class cruiser Fearless from Port
Said to the ame point.
Dispatches from Cape Town and other
centers in Cape Colony indicate that the
Cape Dutch are becoming very restless
in consequence of the Boer successes.
The Morning Posts Ladysmith corre-
spondent, telegraphing November 1, says:
1--WE cannot understand the B1er tao
tics. 1t Is fncoinprehensibae t1ct they
should have refrained from using their
big guns this morning"
Commenting upon this dispatch, the
Morning Post says: 'It is easy to guess
the reason why the Beers have been
nonplussed by the arrival of the naval
guns at Ladysmith. They are now re-
GREETING a lost opportunity, as they
might have cut the railway and thus pre-
vented the appearance of those guns on
the scene
The Times in careful editorial to-day
on the relations of the United States to
the war in South Africa says: when
the Continent rings with denunciations Of
England II is very cheering and refresh
ing for the English people to note the
sympathy and intelligent comprehension
manifested in the United States We
should prize American sympathy in any
case, but it becomes doubly grateful when
manifestly based on deliberate and well
informed judgment of the essential merits
of the quarrel, as well as upon a recipro-
cation of the kindly feelings with which
Englishmen regard American enterprises
The American people are not blinded
by the accident that the Transvaal calls
itself republic They know that every
essential attribute of a republic is want
ing; and they know also that England
stands for equal laws, individual freedom
and the energetic progress which to-
gether make up the republican ideal of
the Americans. AS England pumped for
the United States, so the United States
now plump for England without regard
to the fine-drawn technicalities of the at
torney."
1t appears that the Beers have de-
stroyed the railway as far down as Knap-
daar, eighteen miles south of Bethulie.

RT EW YORK, Nov. 5.-A Journal
cablegram from Cape Town dated
VI November 5, says: After long hesi-
tation the Free State Burghers have
- commenced the invasion of Cape
Colony with a strong force.
AS was expected, they have chosen as
the scene of their operations the Coles
burg district, which is the center of the
Afrikander disaffection. and where a
rising has been expected at any time.
The enemy had been concentrating their
forces at Bethulie and at Springfontein
They crossed the frontier on Wednesday

along the railway and highway. They
occupied Colesburg without resistance
The only force at Colesburg was a small
squad of police under a sergeant They
surrendered and are now prisoners of war.
Colesburg has 1000 inhabitants, all Dutch.

Colenso at this hour is threatened by
the enemy. His patrols, in advance Of
Boer forces, 1000 strong, but without fed
guns, are marching in an easterly direc-
ton to the north of Colenso. Shots have
been exchanged between the British and
Boer patrols, the latter being driven in
ward upon the main body.
The British patrols lost one man killed
and the Boer patrols lost two.
Firing is now in progress on Ladysmfth
which the Beers are shelling from their
positions on Groblerskloof Hill, this side
of Ladysmith.
Two trains have just arrived here from
Ladysmith. When near Pieters Station
they were fired upon by the Beers, but
were in no serious danger. Train guards
report that Nordenfeldt quick-drers were
used, In addition to Mausers.
The Beers continue to shell Colenso and
Fort Wylie, but thus far the firing Is
futile They have placed heavy guns in
position, but their shots are all falling
short.

T-otgp. March l0-pAe young ladies
at the fa-ge clearinghouse in West Up

in the large dining hall of the house.
This was the first occasion Of the kind
ever held here, al which there were
more gentlemen than ladies present.
There were very few ladies present in
the costume Of a lady. but there were
presert many mock distinguished men
including @ representative Of Charles
Thomas and Ifobson.
Fairyland was also represented at the
party. The maskeTs began 10 assemble
at the house about S O'Clock, and at
half past the hour all were in the din
ing hall, and a general good time was
in progress After wearing the masks
an hour they were removed and cake,
candy and cookies We're served for re-
freshments.
After refreshments had been served
the party adjourned TO the reception
room where one Of the ladies with a
small organette, furnished music for a
social dance. Between the dances, in
strumental and vocal selections were
rendered in a most pleasing manner by
members Of the house.
The reception room was deliberately
decorated with bunting. flags. potted
plants and palms. On one side were
two large American flags crossed and
draped in pleasing manner, under
these being a bower of potted and cut
flowers.
When the party dispersed several of
the mock gentlemen escorted the young
ladies who were present in costumes
from other houses.
