IN WAR.

The London Chronicle tells this story
of Majuba Hill:
"a slightly wounded commissiariat
officer was being covered by h rifle
of a Boer ~sharpshooter, when the for
mer made a Masonic sign. The Boer
lowered his rifle. and, stepping over
to the other, made him a prisoner, but
treated him in especially hospitable
fashion as a brother member of the
craft. The commissiariat man ascer-
tanned hat Mr.. Kruger and General
Joubert were also Freemasons."
In connection with this an "Old Ma
SON. writes: The story is not a soil
tary instance. Many similar touching
incidents occurred during h franco
German war. Not only are President
Kruger and Piet Joubert enthusiastic
Freemasons, but practically every ed
ucated Boer belongs to the order Most
of the British officers also belong to
the craft"

Rev. and Mrs. L. w. Curtis Return
After an Absence of -Four Years.
Southport Standard

Something over four years ago Rev.
and Mrs. L. w. Curtis were sent as
missionaries to the far distant Laos,
a people in the thickly populated and
darkest southwestern Asia, by the
Northern Presbyterian church.
Their trip, which began at New
York, August II, 1895, across to Glas-
COW was very pleasant. From GLASGOW
to Colombo, which was reached about
September 23rd, by way of Suez canal,
the trip was pleasant until the hot
chimes were reached. and the intense
hea on the Red Sea was almost I'M
bearable.
From Colombo they sailed to Singa-
pore, thence to Bangkok, which sails
were through very hot ATTITUDES.
From Bangkok they took small boats
to ascend the Denam river, which was
most tedious, requiring several weeks
of p%erilous ravei
Finally, the dry mountainous land of
the Laos was reached and the noble
work with the benighted people begun.
The Laos language is most difficult
and much time was required in its
mastery before the active labors as
missionaries could be effectually be-
gun.

have a work established and several
other missionaries with their families
are there. Into this noble work these
young missionaries went with the eye
of the Father protecting them.
The labors were pleasant duties, but
the torrid dry country and the I'M
healthy latitude, which would tax the
strongest constitution, began to break
the health of our missionaries as the
ear came, and it vas found expedi-
ent to withdraw from the work, and a
homeward journey was begun last
hummer.
The return trip was a across the
Pacific, landing at San Francisco about
a month ago. They a stopped at
several cities on their way across the
continent, which has detained them.
Town Creek, the former home of Mrs.
Curtis, was reached last week, where
the hearts of her home folks and their
many friends received them gladly.
Rev. n Mrs. Curtis have been
blessed with three children, the Oldest
Of which died before leaving the Laos.
Rev. Mr.. Curtis will perhaps accept
work in the Wilmington Presbytery in
the near future. Winnabow will be
the home of Rev. and Mrs. Curtis,
though during the present winter.

STOCKHOLDERS ARE LIABLE.
Must Pay Depositors of a Defunct
Denver Bank

Denver. Colo, May 1O.-Under de-
cision given by Judge Butler in the
district court today depositors of the
Peoples Savings bank which failed IN
1893, will recover all the money they
had on deposit at the time of the bank s
failure.
A judgment of s125,O 200 was given in a
suit against the stockholders of the
bank for their liability according to the
laws of the state, in double the amount
of the par value of the stock they hold
in the bank. The court also gave a
judgment for about $500, 900 in favor of
the savings bank against the Peoples
National bank. The judge declared the
national bank, by taking the deposits
of the savings bank and using them in
its business, made itself liable as the
trustee of the Savings bank for those
deposits. The National bank turned
over notes in payment of its obliga-
tions to the savings bank. The notes
were largely valueless.
The assets of the bank amount at
present to only $4,000 and the share
holders. most of whom live in Cleve-
land, o., will be called upon to make
good the balance of the liabilities.

The Wool Market.

Boston. May 10.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow:
The wool market is firm and active.
This activity, however as was noted last
week. is confined mostly to purchases of
territory and pulled woods by local
Spectator and sales from Australian
wool in bond for export. Beyond this.
very little business has been done. pur-
chaseS for consumers account having
been very small.
About 600 pounds of Australian wool
in bond has been bought for export dur
ing the past week and il is quite possible
all the wool remaining here in bond will
be taken by foreigners. The large pur-
chases of territory woods referred 10 in
conjunction with the strong and advanc-
ing markets abroad have naturally re-
suited in some advance in prices.
1t is difficult to quote with eXactness,
but, roundly speaking. we should say
that there had been an advance of be-
tween 2 and cents per secured pound on
territory woods and an advance of about
cent per pound on the greasy in the
past month.
The sales of the week in Boston
amounted to 4,,7S.0o0 pounds domestic and
2.9l5,Ga1 pounds foreign. making total
of 7.593.eoo against total OF 6I90,Ol0 for
the previous week and a total OF 100000
for the corresponding week last year.

Another Surgical Operation.

The physicians yesterday removed
the bullet from the hip of young Rams
ford Fletcher, who was accidentally
shot about two weeks ago. A swelling
on the boys neck caused by blood?
poisoning was also lanced. The wounds
in the boys stomach caused by the bull
let have apparently healed and the only
place where blood-poisoning developed
was in the neck glands, which swelled
up till one eye was closed. However,
this did not develop until after the
wounds in the stomach had healed, and
the boy seems in a fair way to recover.
The case has been most remarkable
one and the remarkable nerve of the
lad has been subject of comment from
the very first. AT all times his tenn
perature and pulse has been almost

American Citizsn Thrust Into a Co.

Fort Scott, Kan, May 10.-After a
political prison in the republic of Co
lumbia, Archie McCarter, civil engi-
neer and contractor. prominent in this
city until 1891, when he left for Yucca
tan, has just been liberated and re-
turned here. He has made a demand
upon the Colombian government for
S150.000 and has gone to Washington
to enlist the aid of the government in
collecting it.
Mr.. McCarter had been absent from
this city about three years before any
word was received from him, and then
letter was received by a friend. 1t
bore the censor mark of the commander
of the prison, who, in a postscript. said
that no communication would be al
lowed to pass to or from the prisoner
touching the cause of his confinement.
Surprising him to have offended the
government in the promotion of some
enterprise, no effort was made by his
friends to learn the facts in his case,
and he being a man of no family, there
was no one deeply enough interested TO
appeal to the government for an ex-
PLANTATION.
He claims to have been thrown into
Jail on suspicion of being a filibuster,
for which suspicion there was no
ground, and declares he was denied
hearing The government is taking de-
