Story of Heavy Fighting There

Not Credited.

DURHAM, Natal, Nov. 2~2.-Seventeen
hundred Beers from Weenen took up a
strong position on the highlands 10
miles south of Estcourt Sunday, occu-
plying Turner's farm, northeast of the
Moot river. Major Thorneycroft, with
a detachment of mounted infantry and
the Estcourt Carbineers, engaged the
Beers, of whom three were killed, in
GLIDING their c~ommandant. The Beers
withdrew, taking 200 head OF cattle
captured at Turner's farm.
The main Boer force south of Est
court is reported to have retired.
There is considerable Offence Of opin.
ion as to whether the Beers have re-
tired from L~adysmith, many holding
the belief that the apparent withdrawal
is only for the purpose of inducing
General White to attempt to withdraw
from the town.

Sir Walter Besant.beeins in the Decem-

Sir Walter Besant'begins in the Decem-
Der Century a series of papers illustrating
lite in East London, as it is to-day. His
manner OF treating the subject is that of the
novelist, rather than the essayist. for he takes
as his point Of departure the birth of a typical
girl of the East End-s.One of Two Millions
in East London and traces her career to
the time of her marriage at seventeen to a
young countryman who has come up to own
to make his living as a porter. Liz is a
''Board schools girl, and Sir Walter holds
that what the average East Londoner learns
from books at schools is incalcuable, and has
marvellously transformed the East End with
in the past thirty years. No one knows more
of the life of the poor in London than the
author of"All Sorts and Conditions of Men,,
and no one is better known as their pictorial
interpreter than Phil May, who collaborates
with Joseph Pennell in illustrating Sir Wal
ter's articles.

Are you getting your share Of the vast
amount OF money spent in advertising. 1t
used to be all given to the publishers OF
newspapers and magazines, but by the latest
method it is freely distributed among the
people themselves; that is, among those who
are alert and quick, and can see an advantage
when it is offered them.
One of the most successful establishments
in America, the Woolson Spice Company, of
Toledo, Ohio, is spending thousands of dol
lars in advertising their Lion Coffee and
they are paying out tins money directly to
the people who purchase the coffee. Their
plan is to enclose in their one-pound pack
age of Lion Coffee Almost attractive premium
list. SO costly are some of the articles on
this premium list that one wonders how they
can afford 10 give them away with their
goods; but it must be remembered that these
premiums are bought directly of the manu-
facture-s, SO that they are secured at about
one-fourth the price the retail consumer pays.
No profit is paid to shipper, wholesaler or
retailer; the goods are all bought at first
hand.
This method of introducing Lion Coffee
is as if you wanted to purchase some article
for which you would have to pay $I.oo; the
proprietors of Lion Coffee buy it for you for
25c. and then give it to you for the trouble
that you take in letting them know you are
using their coffee.
The housekeeper who is alive to the value
OF her patronage may now, by alittle trouble
secure many desirable articles from time to
time at no cost. All that she has to do is to
cut out and preserve the Lion head which
appears on the wrappers of every package of
Lion Coffee. These lion heads are received
by the Woolson Spice Company in pay for
their premiums.
The newpremium list which has just been
issued in connection with Lion Coffee is un-
surpassed in its liberality. Some of the
most attractiv e articles on the market to day
are included in this list.
1t is evident that Woolson Spice Company
places great value on the Recommendation of
a satisfied customer, for they believe the
best advertising of Lion Coffee is where some
one who uses it tells a friend of its good
quality. 1t is mostly in this way that its
sale has been brought about.
Many people are so delighted with it that
they feel it duty to recmomend it to their
friends, and as every package contains a
premium list with full instructions for secur-
ing the articles offered, their is much inter
est in buying Lion Coffee for household use.
Really, Lion Coffee is almost unsurpassed in
its quality, and its a mystery how it can be
sold for such a low price. 1t is better than
many other brands of coffee which costs "
or three times as much. 1t would seem as
the time was approaching when
every family would be drinking this famous
beverage.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is catarrh. HALLS
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a consti-
~tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any

Warden Wolfer. of the state penitentiary
was swapping stories with St. Paul friends
the other day, and here is one on the 'tOi-
rish:" "The time of the big Saltwater fire
three years ago the sparks and burning
brands were falling in the prison yard pretty
thick and itlooked for alittle while as though
the whole plant would go. Some stables
were threatened so dangerously that I had
the horses taken out. The prisoners were
watching the fre--those hat could see the
reflection OF the hames--and listened to the
alarm with marked apprehension. First
thing I did when 1 saw the stables were in
such danger was to run to the guard and sing
out to him: Let Ole out! Let Ole out right
away! Ole was a prisoner who had charge
of the horses. And from one of the cells
came the cry: That's roight. Save the
Swades and let the poor Oirish burn up"

THE STNDIY TRlINS-

There is no doubt that Sunday trains
 do good. They are used by ministers,
 mission workers and others who are
 seeking to help their fellow men. Not long ago we read that Mrs. Ballington
 Booth went to Sing Sing from New
 York on Sunday train and spoke to the prisoners there. Doctors needed to mitigate pain and save life use Sunday trains. Business men use them in order to be with their families at least a part of Sunday. Sons and daughters go home on Sunday trains and get comfort and inspiration. People use them to avoid spending Sunday in cheerless ho- tels or hotels where there is too much cheer They save time, trouble and money. Are they wicked in themselves, or are they wickedly used when used for such purposes as we have mentioned above? And would any reasonable per- son argue that Sunday train run on legitimate business and not as an ex- cursion train is an aid to or provoker of immortality? Isn't 1t absurd to think, or even to hope, that people can be made better by keeping them from mov- ing around in reasonable way on Sum- day? The Sunday trains that have been run in Connecticut have been very convenient and useful. Will another train now as much needed as the other trains have been do any harm to our Sunday? Will it not rather be conven- tent and helpful in just the way the other trains have been?

| The artist sketches here gown chosen for it's oddity It was of tan cloth, the skirt arranged in box pleats each one machine stitched and fastened near the edge of the skirt with brown silk frogs. On the bodice were high collar and yoke of heavy white lace, and the front was in deep box pleats in sur | plice fashion. The whole was very in- genious devising and the result was att tractive though the gown was of the striking order.
 Wash silk costumes are to be much worn. One type has a skirt fitting rather snugly and cut in apron fashion, below which it widens with a very pro nounced flare. Thus it spreads out on the floor in front and all around and requires practice to manage. The ex- treme emphasis given the flare makes the upper part of the skirt seem even closer than it is. This flare is usually accomplished by series of frills, and hamburg edgings or lace and friling are used for finish. Wash ribbon drawn up by it's edge-cord into tight little frills are also used, but will not stand the tub as satisfactorily as will em- broidery.
 Red flannel shirt waists are to be much worn, and the most stylish ma terial is that coarsest weave. the real ly common red flannel. No other kind displays just the brilliant scarlet of this cheap grade and the twill of it's weave is distinctly correct. The waist should he made in plain skirt fashion and be worn with collar and cuffs of white linen. Shirt waists of rough serge, gray flannel, sacking and of denim are &C., counted necessary part of the com plete shirt waist equipment
