Fierce bATTLEAI LADYSNITH.

Battle Heaviest Yet FouEht-Many
Beers Killed, More Taken Prison
ers-The Present Week VIII See

London, Nov. PA special dispatch
from Estcourt says that report has reach
ed there OF a battle at Ladysmith, last
ing from daybreak uptil o'clock in the
afternoon. Many Beers are said to have
been killed and many more are reported
taken prisoners. British losses are report
ed to be much less.
Another battle is said to have occurred
later. 1t is described as the heaviest vet
fought. The Boer dead, it is added. num-
Der hundreds, while the British 10 .ses were
comparatively few.
The present week, according to the dis
patches from the front, ought to see a
change in the defensive tactics that have,
hitherto been maintained by the British
in South Africa. 1t is said that the task
allotted to Gen. Cleary, that of relieving
Ladysmith, will task his generalship TO
the utmost. The Beers are developing a
great deal of strength in the neighbor-
hood OF Estcourt, and Gen. Joubert is re-
ported to be moving southwark himself in
order to direct the movement to repel the
British advance after, it would seem, at
tempting to isolate Estcourt This latter
movement is already in progress.
The Beers practically surround the
town. Another small force was discovered
at Willow Grange, south of Estcou1t, yes
terday Sunday evening.
Major Thorneycroft, with a detachment
of infantry, made a sortie and engaged
the Beers, but with no material result.
The so-called Boer attempts to rush Est
court on Saturday were apparently merely
reconnaissance, resulting in the Beers
obtaining information which they desired,
namely that Estcourt is fairly strongly
held and has naval guns in position

been quarreling with an unknown man.
Both stood near the bar. Finally ivy

and ordered the man to get out of the
saloon. Virgins came in at this moment,
and seeing Twyman with leveled revolt

stantly from the time he became uncon-

scious he was able to converse with Mrs.
Hobart about some private affairs. He
was very patient and showed his remark
able will power to the last.
Soon after the news of Hobart's death

began to arrive at Carroll Hall. Mrs.
Hobart bears up well under her great be-
reavement.

to 1901.
Carrot A. Hobart has always been one

son they admit this to be true, but they
add that the mans splendid ability and his
boundless energy did far more to build
up his fortunes than all his luck.
Washington, Nov. %. - All flags in
Washington are at half-mast as a mark of
respect to Vice President Hobart. The
announcement of his death has cast n
gloom over the city where he was loved

AguinnIdo Cornered

Manila, Nov. 23.-The whereabouts OF
Gen. Lawton and Gen. Young are becom-

belief is growing at Manila that Lawton
has struck the tlail of the insurgent "gov-
eminent" and is pursuing the ministers
into the Byquia mountains. 1t has been
his ambition to capture the Filipino lead
er, and he and Young believe that a cav
airy brigade, living on the country, could
run them down to any part of the island.
One vague report brought in by Span
ish prisoners is that Aguinaldo and Others
were nearly surrounded by the Ameri-
cans soon after the insurgent chief left
Tarlac, but that he escaped through the
lines in peasants clothes.

Our Worst Fault.
We had always associated fancy mice
with boys-schoolboys. Did any one ever
know an ordinary boy who did not at
some time Of his life delight in the posses
sion of a few white mice? To carry them
about in his pockets and terrify some
nervous and historical woman seemed to
be the height of enjoyment to the inno-
cent, boyish mind, but oftentimes sadly at
the expense Of the long suffering mice.
To hear of a woman making a hobby Of
keeping mice then seemed to us quite an
innovation, and we were interested enough
to pay her a promiscuous visit in the hope
of being allowed to see her small army OF
the most despised members of the animal
kingdom.
And we were not disappointed. Miss
Grimston was not only ready to show us
her pets, but became quite enthusiastic
about them.

entertain the prcfoundest respect for q
grain Of wheat. It is the most marvel
ous combination of substances admira.
bly, adapted for the building up and
s~ustenance of the tissues of the human
body" Baron Won Liebig predicted
some time ago that the universal eating
Of white -four would resultin disaster.
White -four, although it may be
made from the finest wheat grown, does
not and cannot make healthful, strength
producing bread, because it has been
robbed Of the gluten, which is the nj
t~rogenized nutritive element that the
Almighty intended and decreed should
be the blood making, brain feeding por-
ton of the wheat berry. Gluten is
never white In color, and every house,
wife should bear in mind the fact that
starch, which is the inferior element OF
wheat, constitutes almost the entire
bulk of the foolishly fashionable white
-four that is causing so much lack of
development among children and max
ing SO many strong adults weak.
Even graham -four cannot make a
bread that is easy of digestion and
nourishing to the body, because it con-
tains a large proportion of the woody,
coarse and oftentimes dirty outer husk,
which has no food value whatever, but
which was intended only as a protec-
tion and covering for the pure and tx
quisitely proportional food elements
constituting the matured wheat kernel.
Graham bread is apt to be irritating to
weak stomachs and to leave the stomach
before it has had time to be digested
and assimilated.
Flour of the entire wheat is without
doubt the purest -four in the world and
makes the best bread now known to
housekeeping or culinary science, be-
cause it contains (reduced to an even
fneness) all the bone, muscle, brain
and nerve feeding elements of the
wheat kernel, SO unfortunately lacking
in white -four, and is entirely free from
the woody outer husk that makes gra-
ham -four SO coarse and often so indi-
gestible. The beautiful, light, golden
brown bread made from this flour has a
rich, satisfying flavor that no other
bread can possess, and it has no equal
among the products of wheat as a nat
ural, healthful and strength building
food, says the Boston Cooking School
Magazine, authority for the foregoing.

Her tastes are wholly domestic. While
her husband has wide political and
: business interests, she seems to be
wholly absorbed in her family of six
children. OF these children two are
young men who have left college and
gone into business. Another, Miss Flos-
sic Croker. has grown to womanhood.
When Mrs. Croker married Richard
Croker in 1878, he was neither wealthy
mol powerful. He held the Office OF. cor
oner, and his political career was just
beginning. She was. a well educated
young woman and was teaching school
in New York when she met the future
boss Of Manhattan island. The first
home over which Mrs. Croker presided
was a very modest apartment. Since
that time she has learned how to act as
mistress of a mansion. But her wealth
has not brought with it the desire for
display. She has avoided publicity with
scrupuIous care. Had her ambitions
been in that direction she might have
seen her name in the society columns
quite as frequently as those of the SO
called social leaders Of New York. She
has been content to live quietly. She
has her own little circle of friends,
whom she visits and entertains. Of late
years she has been active in several
charitable and philanthropic move
ments, but has always declined mem
bership and Office in the various organ
izations through which she has worked.
