The aristocracy is led by the pocket;
the democracy by the passions.
People who are always looking for
sights, seldom fail to find plenty OF
them.
The nakedness of the INDECENT world
might be clothed from the trimmings
Of the vain.
Many of the results given as solu-
tons of the problems Of life are not
susceptible of proof,
Some men are so burdened with their
self-importance that they a only
find relief by telling others about it.

would be to live in II We could break

PENSIONING EMPLOYEES

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-THE officers
of the prosposed pension fund to be in
augurated by the Pennsylvania rail
road on its entire system east of Pitts
burg and Erie, composed of the vice
presidents and assistant comptroller OF
the company, have nearly completed
their work. About 1000 employees, it
is said, will be retired under the pro,
visions Of the pension fund on Janu-
airy l. These will create a number OF
vacancies and as some of the positions
to be vacated are important there is a
natural expectancy among those who
remain as to who will succeed to these
positions.

shelled by three field batteries, the
howitzers, the At inch guns and horse
artillery.
At this point the Beers delivered a
counter attack on the British flank,
The Gordons lost their colonel and fell
back, but the Beers were met by the
guards and the artillery and were driv-
en- back.
The British held their own until
dusk and then entrenched themselves
for a fresh attack. Yesterday, howev-
err, General Methuen decided to fall
back to his old camp at Modder river.
He retired in excellent order in the
daylight.
The Beers have been lowering about
Methuen's line of communication and
emboldened by their success, may at
any moment show themselves in his
rear.
General Methuen states that the
fighting extended over six miles, and
that he found himself faced by twelve
thousand Beers.
The announcement from Boer sourc-
es that there was fighting south Of the
Modder river with an armored train
may indicate that IN attempt was again
made by the Free Staters to cut the
line of communication, which is the
weak point of the British position.
The Highland brigade, comprising
presumably the Royal Highlanders
BLACK Watch) the Highland infantry,
the Seaforth Highlanders and the Ar
gyIl and Sutherland Highlanders, the
brigade of the guards and the York
shire light infantry were the British
foot soldiers engaged.
The Ninth brigade having probably
been left to guard the camp at Moddef
river, General Methuen cannot have
taken more than 1000 or 5000 men in
to action against Il, 0 which he esti-
mated the Beers had opposed to him.

and Mr.. McVeagh. 1t is expected thai
the senate committee or committees
will conclude its work tomorrow and

made. Western changes are predicted
as follows:
Senator Warren of Wyoming has
been appointed to one Of the vacancies
on the senate committee on %appropria-
tons.
Senator Warren will be given the
craftsmanship Of the committee on
claims, relinquished by Mr.. Teller by
his afiliation with the minority party.
Senator Thurston will be chairman
of Indian affairs, Senator Shoup Of
territories. Senator Wolcott will retain
his present committees, to which will
be added a place on committee on for
eign relations.
1t is probable that Mr.. Teller will
be given the Craftsmanship of the forest
reservations committee.
Senator Clark of Wyoming will be
placed on the new committee on Ha-
waiian affairs.
In the House today, Mr.. Bell of Col
orado, in discussing the pending finan-
cial bill, said the advocates of the
measure glowingly console themselves
to their general qualification in going
from the bimetallic to the gold stand
ard because they say that the recent
prosperous times have exploded all old
theories.
THE very reverse is true" claimed
Mr.. Bell, by reason of the unprece>
dented crops Of this country. a great
shortage abroad, and by reason of the
unexampled strides Of the American
people in production and export of iron,
steel and machinery our balance of
trade has been suen, when taken with
our domestic output Of gold and the
larger coinage Of silver bullion in the
treasury, together with the wars start
ing up all the machine shops, gun fac
tories and shipyards Of the country.
they have been reasonably prosperous
and the supply of money has been SO
abundant that it has raised the general
prices, confirming beyond question our
cardinal theory that every increase on
the ratio Of money to property or Of
working capital to labor, increases the
price of property or labor, increases the
fiat we should have had out of raising
prices has been largely ~neutralized by
the great syndicates and trust so rails
ing their prices that it absorbs the ad-
vantages of the people not having their
products protected by a trust"
Senator Teller today introduced bills
for the relief of the First Colorado cav
airy and to reimburse the state Of Col
orado in the sum of s92, 012.S for losses
sustained by the Ute depredations Of
1897.

bration of the establishment OF the seat

London, Dec. 14.-Another seriou:
check has befallen the British army il
South Africa, and another long list O
casualties is being prepared to darker
hundreds Of British homes. The news
which reached London yesterday that
Lord Methuen had been forced to re,
tire after fierce attacks upon the enc
my's position at Mag%ersfontein, com
ing so soon after the disaster neal
Stormberg, cast a gloom over the me-
tropolis. The nation vas hungering
for good tidings to efface the bitter
taste of defeat, and the disappointment
was felt all the more keenly.
No matter where one went last night
to the theatre, TO the club or to the
hotel-There was but one topic of dis
Observation-Disclosures defeat and his
probable losses. Later in the evening,
when it became known that General
Wauchope and the Marquis of Win
chester were among the killed, the ten
sion was increased, as the thought
flashed through the minds that the list
OF killed and wounded will carry grief
to many stately as well as to many
lowly homes. 1t is not exaggeration to
say that almost every handsome man
sion in the fashionable west end con
tains anxious and sleepless men and
women this morning.
An understone of condemnation Of
the inactivity of the wal Office before
hostilities began, which has resulted
in the British forces being inferior in
numbers to the Beers, has found its
way to the surface. This feeling was
expressed in strong terms of the war
office, where crowds of anxious men
and women c~ongregated before the
doors or walked through the Hobbies
reading the bulletins all through the
day and evening. When it was an
%nounced, after midnight, that no more
new would be given out until morn
ing they slowly dispersed. Many wo-
men were unable to control their emo
lions and wept bitterly.
The result of Mondays battle at the
Modder river is regarded as a check
to Lord Methuen rather than a re,
verse.
The British troops were not hurled
back in disorder to their camp, but re-
manned on the scene of action and
threw I'D intrepchments. On the fol-
lowing morning the British command
err. finding the enemy still in their
trenches, withdrew to the Modder riv-
err camp. The Beer losses. are describ-
ed as terrible, whole camps having been
wiped out.
