The war song of the Beers.
From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
The hardy Boer now singeth,
As TO his feet he spriugeth,
A song that's full of ragged, jagged rum
BILE, rant and roar
He loads his trusty rifle
And chants this chunky trifle-
This wondrous. cumbrous melody-the
war song of the Boer;
"Waai hoog nou in ons heider lug
Traansvaalse vriefjheidsviag.
Ons vijande is weggeviug;
Nou blinkn blijer dag
II looks like barb wire fencing,
with broken-glass commencing;
1t taugles, jangles, mangles-then it
Wrangles on once more.
1t cannot be unraveled,
Once more from his throat it's travelled
This triple-twisted, double-fisted war
song of the Boer
"Waai hoog nou in ons heider lug
Traansvaalse vriefjheidsviag.
Ons vijande is weggeviug:
Nou blinkn blijer dag"
1t helps us TO determine
What our own Gen. Sherman
Meant when he said that war was like
place that has a floor
That's paved with good intention
But not polite to mention
This awe-inspiring, rapid-fring war song
of the Boer:
"Waai hoog nou in ons heider lug
Traansvaalse vriefjheidsviag.
Ons vijande Is weggeviug;
Nou blink'n blijer dag"
No matter how you read 1t,
You certainly will heed 1t,
For backward, forward. upside down, it
brings up thoughts of gore.
IL it's meant to be jolly,
1t must have slipped its trolley
This shrapnel-worded, pistol-girded war
song of the Boer:
"Waai hoog nou in ons heider lug
Traansvaalse yriefjheidsvias.
Ons vijande is weggeviug;
Nou blink'n blijer dag"

To-day a weH-equipped journalist must
be able to manage any sort of reporting
and to appear in every sort of company
writes Julian Ralph in the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post. Many such
writer's have had more or less intimate
acquaintance with the leaders of mankind
the Bismarcks and Gladstones, the Cor
dons and Grants the Deweys and Beres-
fOrds Journalism has put me on the
pleasantest footing with more than one
President of the United States. The first
President l came to know was Gen Ar
thur. -Four or five of us correspondents
were sent 10 the ST. Lawrence to report
his experiences upon a fishing trip. We
lived in the same hotel with him, and in
the morning he used to share with us the
muskalonge or the bass he had caught on
the previous day. And once it came about
that he waited upon me as if he had been
the humblest man in the land
With another correspondent I had been
kept up late at night telegraphing, and
then had stayed up still later over a mid
night supper. When we came to the hotel
il was past midnight and the entire house
except the windows of the Presidents
suite of seven rooms-was dark and life
less. His windows were still brilliantly
lighted, for it was his habit to work or
read until very late at night. We tried all
one, President Arthur opened it and let
us in. We apologized profusely, but he
only smiled and said that as his negro
boy was very tired and had gone to sleep
he thought he would rather let us in him
self than disturb his servant.
you have found very agreeable society
here" he said.
NO" eve said, eve have been tele-
graphing"
Don't tell me that" he insisted; :you
telegraph only about me, and 1 have done
nothing for twenty7four hours. I prefer
to envy you, and to believe that you have
found some ones society very charming"
To give an idea of the rigid discipline
of a modern newspaper establishment 1
will recall the trivial fact that when I
was new and green upon the staff of such
a paper l once missed a train which 1
had been ordered to take. IMPOSSIBLE"
exclaimed the editor, when I reported the
fact Let me tell YOU sir, that reporters
upon this paper never miss trains"
month passed before 1 could feel that this
offense was forgotten, and during that
month how many feats of persistency and
enterprise l performed in order to get
back a good opinion of myself! Most of
these performances were never heard of
by my superiOrs.

The city of Richmond has been offered
s50,000 for a street railway franchise, the
trackage to extend through four or five
streets. A notable incident in connection
with the offer was that the company max
ing it advanced a number of reasons why
it would be to the interest of the city to
sell this and similar franchises TO the
highest bidder instead of granting a priyi-
Iege which would only rebound to individ-
uaf benefit

DOESN'T OWN HIS FACE.

At first blush It would seem impossible
for a person to have closer ownership of
anything than his or her face and name
But it appears to be the law, as interpreted
by the Supreme Court of Michigan, the
full bench concuTring, that there is no
such thing as property rights in either
Thus a woman. whose face may be her
fortune, has control over only the physi-
cal face itself, and not over counterfeit
presentments of it. Any person with sufh
cient gall, and ingenuity enough 10 get her
portrait, is AT liberty In so far as the
law is concerned to make use of that por
trait for advertising purposes, and the per-
son aggrieved has no redress at law. There
Is no legal warrant therefore, by which
the camera fend can be restrained from
taking snap shots at persons. The only
refuge for the person who does not wish
to be photographed is to run and hide.
Likewise according to the Michigan
court, a person has no proprietary inter
est In his or her name. If another uses
it for purposes of forgery or fraud, there
is redress at law, of course; but if the
name be bestowed upon some article of
trade, with a view to making profit
through the use of it, the original wearer
of the name cannot recover damages or
by law restrain the user.
The question came up in a case where
the widow of the late Col. John Atkinson,
a prominent politician, sought to enjoin
a Detroit firm from using the name John
Atkinson" on a brand of cigars and print
ing the picture of the late Mr.. Atkinson
on the cigar boxes and the FIRMS publica-
tions advertising the cigars. The opinion
of the court holds that there is in law no
exclusive right to the use of names, which,
as a rule, are received at the hands of par
ents, surnames by inheritance and Chris
tian names at their will Names may also
be legally assumed or adopted by those
who wear them. Respecting the using or
printing of pictures and portraits without
consent the opinion says that homes and
landscapes are not so entirely within the
control of owners that a person commits
an invasion of the rights Of privacy in
looking in upon their beauty or even pho
tographing them, and that one has no right
of action either for damage or to restrain
the possessor of a camera from taking a
snap shot of the passer-by for his own
use. The law, says the opinion. cannot
make right of action depend upon the
intent of the alleged wrong doer or upon
the sensitiveness Of another The law
has never given a right of action for an in
jury to the feelings merely.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Press (Rep) quotes
statistics showing that the Mormon faith
is rapidly gaining adherents in all parts of
the country. and thus comments: 1.-THE
knowledge that Mormonism is spreading
and may become a power in the politics of
the country will add force 10 the demand
that Roberts, the Mormon congressman
from Utah, shall moi be allowed to retain
his seat in the House of Representative
So long as Mormonism was confined to the
country around Salt Lake City the nation
could ignore it and wait for time and ed
ucation to eradicate it,. An entirely differ
ent aspect is put on the case, however.
when it is known that Mormonism is
spreading and instead of becoming extinct
is taking on new life.
The desire that the United States should
make some arrangements to get out of the
Samoa tangle seems to be universal. The
New York Times (Dem) says: 1T Is
quite certain that an arrangement which
would put an end to the condominium in
Samoa would be hailed with great and
equal relief in she Chancellery in Berlin
at the foreign Office in London and at the
state department in Washington. Our
own relations with Samoa, from the time
Of Steinberger down, have brought us
neither honor nor profit. They have cost
us much money and trouble. and upon one
occasion have brought us within "a meas
