Row Labor Abolished.

MUNCIE, Ind, Nov. 12.-one of the
local flint bottle companies has solved
the troublesome boy help" question for
glass factories and tonight introduced
n new invention. a small sheet iron
oven is built near where the blower
works and the bottles are dropped into
a large pan in the oven BY the mold
helper. one laborer carries the pans
away, doing the work Of sl1 boys. The
oven is kept warm enough to hold the
right temper in the glass and there Is
less breakage than where boys carry
the bottles from each shop to the
ovens. II II saving In expense to the
Arm and saves ware for the blowers,
and factories throughout the entire
country that have often closed for want
of boys, viii not suffer in the future
with this invention in use.

Tncreased Boer Activlty.

LONDON, Nov. 10, 1880 a. m.-This
mornings news from the seat OF war in
South Africa continues fairly sattsfac-
tory. The official cables are not very
detailed with regard to the Belmont In
cIdent, which. except for the loss Of Col.
Keith -Falconer, was not very serious
affair.
There are signs of greatly Increased
Boer activity In Natal and along the
western frontier. All the dispatches
tend to show that the British are hold
ing ont ably. Col. Baden-Powell re-
ports that all was well at Mafeking on
November G. Ladysmith's latest date
is November O. While nothing adverse
is heard from the latter point, and conf
dence is felt in General Whites ability,
previous experience having shown that
the ROer artillery Is not very effective -
II is beginning to be proved that the ac-
quIsition OF artillery, which has destroy
ed the former mobility of the BOer forces
has also failed to give them any COM
pensatIng advantage. On the contrary
however, the reverse Is the case. II is
held here that II the Beers had not been
hampered by the transport OF heavy
guns and their rescue from tight places,
Gen. Joubert might ere this have been
in Pletermartl2burE.

Promise to the Gear.
BERLIN. Nov. 12.-The Associated
Press is informed on the highest au-
thority that DR., Won Miguel. PrussIan
minister of finance. and long confer
ence today with Emperor William. 1t
appears that one of the chief subjects
discussed during the visit of Emperor
Nicholas last week, was the raising OF
another Russian loan in Germany, Rus.
sin having failed 10 effect one any,
where else In Europe. This explains
why DR.. Won Miguel was present We'd
nesdRy evening along with Count Won
Bueiow and Count MurRvieH, the Ger
man and Russian foreign ministers at
the interview between the car and the
Kaiser.
Emperor William, 1t is definitely as
certaIned, made no promise to the car
In the matter, leaving It understood
that whether the German government
would favor another Russian loan here
or not depended largely upon Or. Won
MiQueIs answer to-day, prepared at
Emperor Williams request. In tho
meantime. Dr. Won MIGUEL consulted
with the leading German Annnclers,
nearly all Of whom discouraged the
proposal, as they have been reliably in
formed that the trnus-SlbGriRn railroad
is likely to prove far more expensive
than is generally surmfsed. Moreover,
q Russian financial crash is expected
soon, To-day DIR. Won MIGUEL reported
to this effect to the Kaiser aud It may
be considered certain that the proposed
loans here has failed.

[mornIng):
I'm yesterdays fight the Beers made
their appearance near Carter's Farm
The British opened fire with Maxim,
the enemy replying with rifles. BY
mistake our fire went down into the
valley, killing member of the Cape
police and wounding another The
British finally retired on the reservoir,
where two guns were brought up ~
shell the Beers. The result is not yet
known
"Meanwhlle, some Beers had occupied
Ramaper's Dam. firing with one gun on
Otto's Kopje. but not getting the range
they did no damage. 1t Is believed that
six Beers we're killed in the first fight.
"The Beers now surround Kimberley
in great number, and are bent In NIT
ing cattle and harassIng the British.
New alarm signals were sounded at 10
O'Clock this morning, the enemy having
been observed in greater numbers, and
closer to our outposts, They fired on
a patrol under Major Peakman, which
engaged them, but the firing was ut
long range. The only casualty was the
wounding of Major Ayleff, of the Cape
police.
"The enemy lifted forty cattle north
east of the sanitarlum, subsequently
firing eight shells in the neIghborhood
OF Felsmeadt Farm, at KenI!worth.
They did no damage. and retired. La
ter they dred on a number of convtcts,
who were working near the sanitar-
ium, and eventually went OF with a
large number of cattle and donkeys.
"The Beers are well mounted, and
from the dips in the veldt they appear
and disappear with marvellous rapIdlty,
bent on lifting cattle. The demon
stratIon made to the southwest to-day
was only a felnt to cover the unsuccess
1ul movement at Kenllworth after cat
tie. Their field gun shooting was
poor, all the shells falling short"

for Ten Days,

PATERSON. N. j.. Nov. 12,-vice
President Hobart passed a favorable
night and the Improvement that has
been observed for several days contIn-
ued to-day. He ate solid food with rel
lsh and it was promptly nssimtlated.
With his meals he took milk, and be-
tween meals was given milk punches,
This is a marked change from his conds-
ton ten days ago. At that time he was
rapidly sinking and his stomach had re-
fused food OF all kinds. For several
days he lived on grapes and the Juice Of
grape fruit. but 1t soon appeared that
his stomach was so congested that he
could not even take these.
Mr.. Hobart now spends most Of his
time in a reclining position and he sleeps
without the aid OF oplates. The most
painful and alarming feature of his ill-
ness has been his attacks Of nervous
ness as night approached. These at
tacks have decreased. Mrs. Hobart,
who has spent nearly every minute or
her time for the past two weeks at the
bedside of her husband, feels very much
encouraged and secures more rest than
formerly.
