Ladysmith OH Monday night. Little
light is thrown OH the actual situation
by the news ut hand to-day. The
magnitude of Mondays fight, however,
is more than ever evident. Virtually
three actions were raging simultane-
ously. but it is obvious that the juno
ton of the Beers and Free State troops
was not obtained.

Emperor William has made con-
tribution to the woman question by his
four ks, or kinder and kuchen, kleider
and kirche children and cooking,
clothes and the church,. AS state
ment OF the old conservative view of
woman's sphere the kaiser's definition
is the briefest and best. The new ideas
of the advanced woman find little re-
spouse in the Teutonic mind, and in
defining woman's destiny thus compre-
hensively the kaiser may be regarded
as the spokesman OF his people. Ger
many's ideal. however, has changed
since the days when Tacitus described
the women OF the yeutons as accom-
panying their husbands to battle and
engaging in the, fight, and it may
change again, despite the kaiser's
clever saying.

Col. John w. Clous, judge-advocate
of the army, department of the east,
defending the action Of the Carter court
martial, before the United States Cir
cult court at New York recently, held
that the action Of court martial can
not be reviewed by any civil court.
This seems strange doctrine. It con-
stituted one Of the main contentious Of
the French generals in the Dreyfus
case, but was overruled. It appears to
be sound legal principle that the SEN
tence of any court, military or other
wise. if it can. be shown to be contrary
to law, Is subject to revision by SUI
preme authority.

The White Star steamship Oceanic,
which made her first trip across the
Atlantic recently from Queenstown to
New York, is the largest ship ever
built. She is 704 feet long, which is IL
feet longer than the famous Great
Eastern. Her engines have $4,000
horsepower, or more than twice that
OF the st. Paul, and they drive her
through the water at a speed Of %
knots an hour. She made her first
trip in six days and two and a half
hours. This is not record breaking
time, but the Oceanic is not intended
SO much for speed as for regularity of
passage. Her owners anticipate that
her trips may be scheduled almost like
express trains.

expressed their feelings on the subject
in the resolution of session which he

congregation for their Endorsement. The
resolution read:

more or less crippled indefinitely; the
session therefore resolve. that, until he
has regained his strength, he shall not
take more than one service on Sunday
and do 10 more work during the week
than is absolutely necessary among the
sick; that for the conduct of the other
services and work OF the congregation,
the session will be fully satisfied with
whatever provision their pastor with
their aid, may be able TO make

They extend to him now their heartfelt

MISSING FIyE-YEAR-OLD.

Little Reuben Hoagland Had Wan
dered to Como Shops.
Reuben Hoagland, the f1ve-year- boy
who strayed away from his home, 1885
Selby avenue, Saturday afternoon, was
found by his parents yesterday morning
The lad was picked up at 1 o'clock yes
terday morning nearly three miles from
his home by Ffagman Mealey, who
watches the Northern Pacific crossing at
Lexington avenue. and Ole Anderson,
living at 1860 Lexington avenue. Mr.. An
derson took the youngster home with him
for the night, and yesterday notified the
police of his find.
When Flagman Mealey and Mr. John
son found the boy he was sitting on the
walk, near the railroad tracks, watching
the lights in the yards. He was very
tired but too frightened to sleep, and
begged the men to take him home. From
the locality In which the boy was found
IT appeared that he walked from his home
to Lexington avenue and then struck out
across the country to the railroad tracks.
When nothing was heard of the boy Sat
urday night it was believed he had been
lost in the woods near his home but his
parents were overjoyed when they learn
ed that the little fellow had spent the
night safely within doors at the home Of
Mr.. Anderson.
