INTENT ALL TOO EVIDENT.

London. Sept 20.-Despite all outward
tically the same condition today as was
the United States a few weeks before
r the opening of the war with Spain. Be
meath the crust of diplomatic reserve,
preparations are going on for the sig
nal to begin hostilities, whether these
come or not
England is not going to be caught
mapping any more than the Transvaal
While Lord Salisbury is visiting, Mr..
Chamberlain is buried in work at the
colonial office and the forces at the
dockyards are straining every point to
equip vessels for service. The report
that Great Britain had demanded the
dismantlemeat of the forts at Johannes
burg together with a material reduc-
ton in the armament of the burghers
the colonial office today would neither
confirm nor deny, although it is much
doubted
That the marquis of Lansdowne, who
returned this morning from Dublin, has
held long conferences with Gen. Lord
Garnet Wolseley, field marshal, and
General Secretary Evelyn Wood, adju-
tant general, at headquart- $ is reflect
ed in the contract and supply depart
ments.
The Jelunga left today with 1000
troops, her departure being witnessed
by large and enthusiastic crowd.
While rumors of the reassembling of
parliament are current. the fact is re-
called that in the Afghan war in 1878,
Great Britain declared war first and
then assembled parliament. 1t is be-
lieved the marquis of Lansdowne issued
a strict order to the staff of the war
office, warning all subordinates to re-
frain from giving the press any infor-
nation without the authority of their
superiors, and calling attention to pre-
vious breaches of duty in this respect
which, the order says will be no long
er tolerated"
Advices from Cape Town this even
ing are to the effect that the Afrikan-
ders declare that the Transvaal will not
yield further and that if the imperial
government does not recede from its
present position, war is inevitable.
The South African News supports the
contention of the Transvaal that the
convention of 1884 abolishes the suzer-
ainty. According to other advices, the
burghers are rapidly going into camp,
while the exodus from Johannesburg
yesterday reached 1000 persons. The
stock exchange at Johannesburg has re-
solved to close the moment martial law
is proclaimed; but all current contracts
will be carried out until the proclama-
ton suspending all business.
Meantime the merchants are erecting
barricades in front of their shop win
dows. At Pretoria the interest seems tc
be centered in the meeting of the
Orange Free State volksraad tomorrow
when it is hoped some suggestions may
be made that will be acted upon favor
ably. A special dispatch from Johannes
burg says that $50 persons left by one
train today

How to Fall ON the stage.

New York Times.
people wonder how an actress can fall
on the stage without hurting herself" says
a woman who has tried all sorts of fads as
they have come up. but IL is the easiest
thing IN the world i tried the Delsarte ex-
ercise at one time, and for a while when my
attack OF the diseaee was at its height my
family had the pleasure of seeing me fall
for their amusement and enlightenment all
around the house. The great secret of fall
ing was to relax II you slip and fall some
time when you do not wish to, If you can
only remember TO relax your muscles you
will be saved perhaps a serious injury. Chill
dren and drunken people fall without injury
because their muscles are relaxed. My
mind at that time was filled with my desire
to always relax whenever the Delsarte
oracles said / must. So it happened that
one day / slipped on the street and had a
heavy fall I pulled myself up in a sitting
position a little dazed-I had gone down so
euddenly-I was not sure whether / had put
my principles into practice or not. l was
brought to myself by a man who came up
asking me in a considerable tone:
" Are YOU seriously hurt. madam?
" No, oh. no. thank you,' i said, still
dazed. I'm not hurt and then i realized
that | a been thinking so much of my
principles that, instead OF getting up imme-
diately, I had been sitting there saying to
myself In a brown study, Did / relax or
didn't I relax? / am pretty sure now that |
didn't. for I found later a goodly number
OF big black and blue spots, which never
should develop on a true disciple of Del
aarfe.n

western League Standing.

Barring the fact that it was the second
shutout In two days, and the little neu-
rotitic concatenation in the septenary
inning. yesterdays ball game was as placid
and formal as a ) o'clock tea In a town OF
one railroad and one society woman For
six rcunds each contestant went on accu-
mulating only what was left in the whisky
jug after Ike got through with 1t, with moth
ing memorable in the way of field work or
batting to distinguish it from the ordinary
course Of baseballistic events.
In the first half dozen innings only
twenty-one valiant heroes on each side OF
the argument got a chance to wag the wood
and hardly a sound was heard from the cash
customers. with the exception Of the Rabid
Rooter, who, by some mischance, ensconced
himself behind the press box, to the wrath
Of the vice official scorer. The stiffness was
so intense at times one could have heard a
cough drop. and again was broken only by
some dulcet feminine voice asking, as the
umpire called "four-r-r bal-l-ls:' why,
that man is allowed to go to first plate when
he hasn't done anything but stand there.
If the pitcher doesn't hit him with the ball
inside OF fifteen minutes, Is he safer" Then
would rise again the scream of the Rabid
Rooter. and the Saturday serenity would be
shattered into bits Of profanity.
About the only incidents in the field were
the splitting of Harris hand by a swift ball
from MOTIFS bat in the first, which necessi-
tated the pitchers retirement and the SUBJ
stitution Of Reidy, while in the third Beville
ran after a foul fly from Mailman. kicking
over the empty beer keg by the hydrant
and running into the fence, but holding to
the ball. Frank Motz also made a diver
tisement by falling over the fence IN front
Of the extreme left bleaching boards and
turning a somersault, two heels in the air
being the last seen as he vanished beyond
the seats. However. in the seventh. when
M0tz got a present Of first, will nobody out,
the crowd got a wireless Telegram that now
was the time for something to happen and
began saying things. Fleming came next to
the post and just stood around and stood
around, studying the, signs on the back
fence. While Reidy pitched the ball into this,

hit for a single in the eighth and came home
on Stewards attempt at a sacrifice, which

had taken several prisoners, and among
them a certain Judge. Brown was always a
man of prayer. On this occasion, feeling
quite uncertain as TO whether he ought to
spare the lives of the prisoners. he retired
into a thicket near at hand, and besought
the Lord long and fervently TO inspire him
with the right determination. The judge.

amused at il that, in spite of the gravity of
his own position. he laughed aloud. Judge
