TKOOPS FOR SOUTH AFRICA.
More to he Sent From India-yoIuptsers
TO Go From Some of the
Colonies.

LONDON, Dec. 19.--The war office has
been in communication with General
Sir William Lockhart, commander-in.
chief in India, with view of ascertain.
ing what troops can be spared from his
forces, and it is understood that, as a
result OF these inquiries, force will al
most Immediately leave Bombay for
Durham, including four regiments of
seasoned troops with an ammunition
column and brigade of artillery, in
Guiding horse and field batteries. It is
hoped that this force will reinforce Gen.
eral Butler within month.
The Duke of Connaught visited the
war office yesterday. Since the ap-
pointment of Lord Roberts as com.
mander in chief in South Africa, the
question of rank no longer bars the
duke from going to the front, as he has
strong desire to go, it is believed that
only the queens reluctance stands in
the way. 1t is not unlikely that this
will be overcome.

More Praise for Canton's Great Specialist.
Another Cure by Dr, l.. Schram.

You may wonder why give this tes-
ttmonial. The reason, first of all, is
that it ought to be known that DR..
Schram does make cures as he adver-
tises. 1 am a living witness to it, but
only one among the many. Yes, he has
done me a great deal of good, for since
under his CAREFUL treatment the pain
in my chest has disappeared. 1 have
no more sleepless nights and the sore
ness and shooting pains have left me
and can breath now with comparative
comfort nor have I to hawk and spit
so much. That NEW TREATMENT is
great benefactor.

Morning comes at last. The dark,
brownish mist that pervades the street
and envelops the house in moist en-
brace rises slowly under the influence
of the suns rays, until, cleansed and
purified by them, 1t hangs over the
chimney tops, white, glistening mass
of vapor. Even the dull red bricks, the
clothes yards on the roofs, are rendered
beautiful, pictured as they are by the
soft light passing through a veil of
cloud. There is a man in blue blouse
leaning against the wall of building
opposite Pierre st. Jeans house. He is
waiting for somebody. The great bell
in a neighboring tower has solemnly
tolled six strokes, and the street begins
to hustle with the stir of life. The milk
wagons that had cast a momentary va
riety on his monotonous watch three
hours before are now returning lazily
homeward Another hour must pass
ere he can hope for relief. He yawns
and turns toward the corner, shivering
slightly, as if the mist still clung to
his clothing.
