The Bloemfontein correspondent of
the Manchester Guardian, a pro-Boer
organ, says: Both President Steyn
and Mr.. Fisher, (of the Orange
Free State executive), inform me
that the Volksraad is absolutely unani-
nous that the two republics should
stand or fall together. President Steyn
said: Suppose we remain neutral
and the Transvaal were conquered. 1t
is not likely that we would be long
permitted to stand outside British
control. Let rich gold field be dis
covered, and what would become OF
us?''
The special correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph at Pietermari tzburg,
Natal, says: 1T is believed that the
protracted sitting of the Orange Free
State raad is due to the elaboration of
decisive measures. No rain has fallen
in either republic and it is doubtful
whether the Beers can commence hos
tilities before the end of October"
PRETORIA, Sept. 25.-The Volkstein

Fisher, of the Orange Free State, the

COMMANDMENT.
For Three Hours American War Ships
Threw Shells Into Olangapc
Americans Had One Man Wounded During
the Engagement-Olangap Which
Was RiddIed With Shells, Took
Fire at Several Places.

MANILA, Sept. 25.--The United States
cruiser Charleston, the monitor Mon
terey and the gunboats Concord and
Zafiro, with marines and blue jackets
from the cruiser Baltimore, left Ca
vite September IS and proceeded tC
Subig bay to destroy an insurgent can
non there.
Owing to the bad weather the opera
ton was postponed until Saturday
when the war ships for three hours
bombarded the town of Olangapo and
the entertainments where the gun was
situated.
Men from the Charleston, Concord
and Zafro were then landed under a
heavy insurgent fire. proceeding to the
cannon which was utterly destroyed
! by gun cotton, and then returning to
the war ships
The Americans had one man wound
ed during the engagement. While
waiting in Subig bay for better
weather the Americans deserted Fill
pino re-inforcements moving toward
| OlangapO.
| At $40 a. M, Saturday, the Monterey
began the advance upon the town,
which was about three miles east of
the monitors anchorage. The Char
lesion, Concord and Zafiro followed.
At 1875 the Monterey opened fire
with her secondary and main Batteries,
the Charleston and Concord joining
Immediately. At 1888 the insurgent
cannon answered, the first shot pass
ing close to the Monterey's smoke
stack. The gun was fred twice only.
The American bombarding then be-
came general. At $50 the Monterey
advanced to range of 6OOyards, using
her main battery. Two hundred and
| fifty men were landed about 800 yards
east of the cannon at IL o'clock under
severe shore Mauser fire. The men
from the Charleston were the first to
reach the beach, but the Concord's men
were the first at the gun, which they
reached at 11:10 The cannon was
found to be 16-centimeter Krupp
gun, presumably obtained from the
Spaniards.
| Meanwhile the war ships continued
to shell the shelving beach on the east
and west side to silence the :lsurgent
fire upon the sailors from the trenches
skirting the beach.
Gunner Olsen exploded SO rounds of
gun cotton, in three discharges, in the
cannon, which had suffered from the
fire of the war ships.
The Americans then returned to the
boats, the firing inland being kept ur
to protect the embarkation. The Con
cords men were the last to reach the
shore, and the war ships were reached
at 1850.
Cadet Brinzer, with the Concord's
launch armed with a Calling, did ex-
cellent work on the left of the landing
party. Capt. Myers, of the marines
captured a muzzle-loading field piece
Lieut.. Mcdonald was in command o.
the landing party, and the movement
was splendidly executed and con
trOlled.
The numbers of the Filipinos there
could not be ascertained and no dead
were seen.
The Monterey fired for four hours
twenty-one shots from her ten-inct
guns and seventeen from her twelve
inch guns.
The town which was riddled will
shells, took fire at several points.

Ancient Wedding Houses.

In olden times certain towns and vii
lagos in England used to possess a
wedding house, where poor couples, af-
ter they had been welded at church,
could entertain their friends at small
cost, the only outlay being the pur-
chase of such provisions for their
guests as they brought with them, the
house for the day being given free Of
payment. At Braughing Cor Brach-
inges), in Hertfordshire, there was a
wedding house of this kind, which had
a large kitchen with a cauldron, large
splits and dripping pan; a large room
for merriment, and a lodging-room,
with good linen. At Great Yeldham, in
Essex, there was another such house,
which was used by the poorer folk for
dining in after they returned from the
church. AS the practice became obso-
lete the wedding house was turned into
a school. In 1456 Roger Thornton
granted to the mayor and community
of Newcastle-upon-Ty the use of the
hall and kitchen belonging to Thorn
toms hospital, for the use of young
couples, when they were married to
make their wedding dinner in, and re-
ceive the offerings and. gifts of their
friends.

in troubling himself so much about us
and our concerns"
Lady Howard spoke feelingly. NO
body could have ever taken the reins
of government more unwillingly into
her own hands than her ladyship had
done upon the death Of her husband
three years before, when she had been
left a rich but somewhat helpless
widow, with a large estate and three
growing children In the years of her
married life everything had devolved
upon Sir Wilfred; and, though, as time
wore on, she became more accustomed
to her sense of perfect independence,
and had actually consented to an add
tional care in the shape of the guard
ianship of her niece, her brothers
child. she was still only too thankful
If any one would relieve her little OF
the weight of the responsibilities which
hung so heavily upon her shoulders.
Consequently Gilbert Falkland,
whom they had CHANGED to meet upon
the continent for the first time only
a month before, but who had intro
duced himself as one of the late Sir
Wilfreds oldest friends, had found his
attentions thoroughly acceptable to the
widow; and, as it happened that he
had been going by the same route as
Lady Howard and her niece, he had
constituted himself courier and guide,
and had taken upon his own shoulders
all the troubles and worries insepa-
rable from continental travelling.
At home in England once more. for
tune had thrown Mr.. Falkland across
their path again, and Lady Howard
was only too pleased If he would still
do anything for her, even II it were
merely to arrange a drive or decide
which of the pieces at the theaters was
really worth seeing.
But Evelyn scarcely heard the sigh
OF contentment which had followed
Mr.. Falkland's departure. Her thoughts
were running in quite another direc-
ton; for, in spite of the nonchalance
with which she had laughed away Gil
bert Falkland's observations upon the
encounter with the man in the hall.

was somewhat breathlessly mounting
the last flight, a tall figure, which she
recognized at a glance as Major
Browns, suddenly appeared at the tor
of the staircase, which he was just
about to descend.
Summoning all her dignity to hel
aid and with her head set proudly
back, Miss Luttrell had prepared tc
pass on quickly without deigning him
more than coldly regal bow, wher
to her amazement, as his eyes met hers
he Immediately paused before her.
Il beg your pardon, Miss Luttrell
but l believe l have found some lost
property of yours. Did you not drop
a handkerchief in the dining room last
EVENING""
1t was a trifling question, certainly
still it sent the color flaming into the
girls cheeks
"a handkerchief" she repeated
mo; am sure l did not"-with a de-
cided shake of her head.
Are you quite sure, though, because
feel certain it is yours-at least it
has your initials on it?" he returned
producing the article in question and
holding up the corner where the crest
of the Luttrells was embroidered over
the initials "E. c. L." This is it. Is
it not yours?"
Evelyn looked at it astonished. 1t
was impossible to deny the ownership
"Oh, yes-it-it is mine!"
The admission was made with such
reluctance that Major Brown was con-
scious of a feeling that in delivering
up the handkerchief to its rightful
owner he was rather under an obliga-
ton to her for deigning to accept it
than that she owed anything to him.
He was therefore quite astonished al
the polite but distant thank you
which rewarded his efforts, and stood
for some minutes lost in contempla-
ton of the slight graceful figure as IL
retreated down a long corridor.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
James D. Brown of the Lake Shore
ticket Office keeps tab on the numerous
queer questions asked by the travelling
public. The other day a lady's voice
was waited over the phone, asking:
How far is it to Chicago?" Said Mr..
Brown: "Three hundred and fifty
seven miles" Twill it be the same
coming back?" 81 think So" "By the
fast express, mean" Eyes, by the fast
express" The same day lady drove
up to the ticket Office in q cab, rushed
into the place and breathlessly asked:
What time does that train go?"
What train?" asked the addressee.
"To Albany, of course"-as though all
roads and trains led to Rooseveltville.
A third traveller, had the i'll luck Of los
ing her pocketbook containing $13S
and five tickets to Boston, besides
sleeping car transportation. She came
back for new tickets. But, madame"
said Mr.. Brown, "supposing you had
bought watch at a jewelers. and lost
it-would you expect him to give you
another in its placer" makes no diff
ference" said the poor woman. Il
bought the tickets of you, and the least
you can do is to give me Others" But
she was doomed to disappointment.

That
Mysterious
Major...

his words had carried more weight
than he had had the satisfaction OF
imagining.
At the time 1t had never struck her
as peculiar that man who was an
absolute stranger to her should have
been able to single out from the num-
Der of letters one in particular for her,
thus showing that he knew her address
perfectly. 1t puzzled her though, con-
siderably now, especially as the idea
flashed through her mind, as it had
done before even as she stood in the
hall that that letter was not lying
among the others when she had first
looked over the table. 1t had seemed
trifing matter at the time; she
would never have troubled to think
anything more about it il Mr.. Falkland
had not declared that this man must
have known something Of her name
and had taken the earliest opportunity
of trying to make her acquaintance.
But now, since he had told her what
really villainous characters were con-
stantly to be found at such quiet sea-
side hotels as the Royal George" she
began to realize that, If this Mr..
Brown were one Of the number. he
would be capable Of anything, and,
seeing her coming, had probably hid
den her letter in order to obtain the
necessary excuse for addressing her.
"Well, at any rate, he shall not
speak to me again!" mentally resolved
Miss Luttrell, as she stirred her coffee
and buttered piece Of toast. "Mr.
Brown of London is mistaken IL he
imagines that Aunt Lydia and l are
two helpless individuals whom he can
take in and impose upon as he likes.
He had better try-that is ALL"

In Kansas the ranchmen are utilizing

found that the wires are sufficiently
insulated by the wooden posts to carry
electric currents without perceptible
loss. From the nearest telegraph sta

have been run all over Seward county,
as well as into the adjoining counties
OF Morton and Stevens, and across into
Oklahoma and Texas.

CHAPTER III.-(Continued.)

"Oh, dear, yes!" assented Falkland
readily. 1T was the talk of London.
Well, what have they discovered"
why, that man who answers to
the description of suspicious-looking
person who disappeared from England
In rather peculiar circumstances at the
time of all those forgeries Is supposed
to have left New York on the steamer
City of Chicago on the 18th Of this
month; and, should this really be so,
he ought to have arrived in Liverpool
at the beginning of the week. Just as
you were speaking of this Brown of
London it struck me"
THAT he might be the forger him
self? All, perhaps he is" exclaimed
Evelyn, with a CLEAN of amusement
in her eyes. Let us all keep careful
watch upon him, and do our best to
gain the reward which somebody has
offered for him."
Every well, Miss Eve; you may de-
pend upon me to help you in your in
vestigations. My services are at your
disposal whenever you may require
Them" was Falklands reply; but,
though the words were uttered lightly,
there was a sort of resolution lying
latent beneath his apparent careless
ness. "Only do not forget to take care
Of your own cheque-books, or in the
meanwhile you may find he has been
dipping pretty heavily into your ex-
chequers as we'll. But goodby for the
present. l shall be coming again to
see for which night you will like tick
cts for the theater, and then l will
telephone down."
AS the door closed behind the tall,
rather gaunt, but at the same time
prepossessing form Of Gilbert Falk-
land, Lady Howard sank back in her
chair with a sign of supreme satisfac-
ton.
Dear me, what should we do with
out that man? He is really too good
