crime he chose TO perpetrate on the
stranger within his gates.
In point of fact, the Boer. even of to-
day, whether living in the Cape Colony,
Orange Free State. Natal or the
Transvaal, resents with insensate fury
any interference with his method OF
correcting his native servants faults.
This is and ever will be a bone of con-
tention between the Boer accustomed
as he always has been, to consider the
native as little removed from a baboon)
and his more civilized neighbors. In
his calmer moments the Boer is apt to
deprecate the extremity he has been
guilty of while under the influence of
his monetary fury, but the depreca-
ton is at best only skin deep, and his
excesses would in all probability be re-
peated on the next occasion.

Toledo, o., Aug. S.--General l. II.
Sherwood has made proposition to
the Kilbourne managers, which ap-
pears to be very fair one, and Is as
follows: General Sherwood asks for
the delegation from Lucas county to
the GAINESVILLE convention. II this Is
given him, and 1t Is found on arriving
at GAINESVILLE that Kilbourne had more
votes in the convention than Sherwood,
then the latter will agree to retire
from the contest and the Lucas county
delegation and Sherwood delegates
from other parts OF the state need not
support the Toledo candidate. II on
the other hand 1t Is found that General
Sherwood has more strength in the
convention than the Columbus man
shall retire from the field.

"this Is liberal proposition coming
from me. have been candidate but
o short time, have no literary bureau,
no barrel and no lieutenants tramping
over the state in my interest. L have
not spent dollar to secure the nomi-
nation. Colonel Kilbourne has been
candidate for months, has bureau

Now, will his managers accept my
proposition? l am not afraid of the

tion than Kilbourne. II am mistaken
1 am willing to step aside. firmly be-
lieve that with the Lucas county dele
cation l shall have from 175 to 200
votes on the lrst ballot"
While the proposition has been made
to the Kilbourne managers it has not
yet been accepted.
Gen. Sherwood has also agreed to
go to the state convention and place
Jones in nomination II the people d
Toledo decide they want Jones for gov
ernor. The General is keeping them

A ADJUSTMENTS.

Ben Hendricks and company drew a
house last night in "A Yenuine Yentle-
man." The play is the most incon-
grous, improbable and ridiculous jun-
bic imaginable. Things happen and
characters act as never in any story OF
reality. One is left in doubt whether
the playwright intends the thing in So
berness or in jest; whether he has not
put forward his play as a farce, or a
burlesque, or possibly a satire; but as
the latter it would be clumsy affair
When this is said we may say also that
the plot suggests a. possible whipping
into reasonable shape; that it has the
skeleton of merit upon which might be
built a very interesting story full OF
dramatic interest 1t is also to be said
that it has some gems Of wit, some
sparkling lines, and good deal ex-
ceeding rich hunlor. But, nevertheless,
the play pleased even those who con-
demned it most. Why? Simply because
of the excellence of the work of Ben
Hendricks, his quaint, indescribable
method with the character of a Swede.
at once so innocent and confiding as
to be imposed upon by the most patent
frauds, and yet so cunning, brave and
shrewd in recovery, that one wonders
how such a. man could ever be taken
in.'' 1t pleased-if roars of laughter
and shouts of applause are indicative
of enjoyment. Also because of the
cleverness of Miss LIE Clair, one of the

best Irish character actresses we have
ever seen, and as an Irish songstress
iniInitable She would seem to be
fresh from Erin and imbued with all
the humor, cleverness and melody OF
Irish character. Her success was pro-
nounced. So too, was that of Miss
Bertie Conway, the soubrette, loud
talking, bold, comely, dashing, fearless
and mischievous soubrette, whose
dancing, singing and merry making
carried the house by storm. So 1t Is
that with play one cannot take serl-
ously, and that may be burlesque,

WICKED FIRE LAST NIGHT.
1T THREATENED TO DO GREAT
DAMAGE.
But the Firemen Worked Hard and
Soon Had 1t Under Their
Control.

At 11:15 last night fire alarms sound
ed for a vicious holocaust at 422 K
street. 1t also involved an oyster
house. a crisp" or popcorn place, etc,
Just west of the Stoll building, and for
a time threatened to destroy Barton
confectionery, at 420 X street, also
Varney's photograph gallery, and the
buildings just west of it.
Nobody could give a definite idea OF
the fires origin, but the theory or
those who first saw it was that it orig
mated among some boxes, straw ana
debris back of Vera's saloon. This soon
involved a vacant house, and when
this had got we'll under way-and 1t
went like shavings-Vera's saloon was
soon in flames, the oyster-house ana
other dry wooden buildings with 1t.
Half a dozen persons saw the eager
blaze at about the same moment and
hurried to telephones or fire-boxes-
Special Officer Fred Almas was one OF
the first of these, the bartender at
Vera's saloon another. While they
and others were Fastening to boxes the
whistle blew, and in a twinkl1ng the
chemical engine dashed up K street.
followed by the engines and carts OF
the department.
Almost before the firemen could be-
gin to play upon the flames they leapt
skyward, filling the air and street with
flying cinders. The great heat ascend
ing caused a draft, and like hasn
the flames were running their tongues
above the roof, through it, around 1t,
everywhere. Driven by the growing
breeze, the fierce fire climbed toward
the StolI building, and finally began
to deyour the easements of the second
story windows.
A little later Vera's saloon belched
forth like a flaming furnace, and there
was a mad havoc of cracking bottles
and bursting glass.
Meantime the restaurant, Barton
..crisp" house, the vacant shanty pack
of Vera's s saloon, the debris, and every
burning thing in sight seemed involved
in a mad race to reach ashes ahead OF
it's neighbor. The streets were by TINS
moment thronged by thousands. Men
in half-dress. women disheveled, night
workers, and even hilarious reVeiers
were upon the spot-all excited ana
eager to view the fire.
The greatest excitement prevailed
during the confiagration, especially
when the great fire drew near the net
work of electric wires. Long before
this moment James Magrath and two
companions rescued three excited Wo-
men from the lodging-house just east
of Barton's, and trunks were hustied
out without delay.
Next streams thrown by the fire pa
troll of Weinstock, Lubin & Co. S store
were played from the top of their
building upon the roofs of buildings
fireward, and the firemen worked like
Trojans near the flames. Gradually the
first frame structure began to weaken,
whereupon hooks were applied and the
fuel was razed. Still tongues of flame
leaped here and there. linemen cut
