THE GEER ADMINISTRATION WAS
HANDICAPPED.

Ine degree OF aPpFVNat thSN NA'
be accorded the officers OF the state
during any term will depend largely
upon the record made by the corps
OF officers. That IS ordinarily a
just criterion, but 1t Is also proper
and Just 10 take into consideration the
disadvantages or favoring conditions un-
der which the administration labors. Il
may be well TO call attention at this
time to some OF the peculiar cireum-
stances which have been thrown in the
way of the present state administration.
Not that the officials now in control
need any special favor in public opinion,
but that the public may know something
of the condition OF affairs at the head
OF the state government.
1t goes without saying that the las;
administration was very unfriendly to
the present and that /, was with very un-
charitable wishes that the official places
were turned over 10 the new incumbents.
Everyone has recognized this since the
first Of the year Evidence Of this can
be seen in the ac,s Of the retiring Off
cals-aets which viii not admit OF any
other explanation For instance. the ap-

FEEDING OF WILD BEASTS.
A Thrilling Scene That May Be Witnessed d
at the Exposition.

Philadelphia, Oct 31-A sight not
to be forgotten is to be had in the ami
NAL quarters of the Hagenback menag-
erie at feeding time after the evening
performances. 1t is located just back of
the pretty and commodiOus exhibition
hall, one of the attraction on the Es-
planade of the National Export ex-
position. Such a scene of mad i'm
patience, wild savagery and unre-
strained ferocity can hardly be i'm
agined, nor were such demoniacal,
blood curdling sounds ever heard in
any geological garden of civilization or
jungle of darkest Africa. Captive
beasts are generally more rampant.
angry and noisy about feeding time
than those free to silently and stealth
lily seek their prey, but the Hagenback
aggregation beats the average. The
lions roar loudly and jump over each
other, the leopards leap as high as the
cage will permit, the panthers cry with
increasing energy, the elephant bel
lows. the dogs yelp and howl and bark
and the monkeys add their shrill notes
to the bedlam of sounds, and pande-
monium reigns. 1t is the moment
when these trained animals forget
their training, and all the savage in
stincts of their wild natures are
aroused. Hunger, which will cause
a man to forget his manners, show his
animal instincts, and when severe
enough make of him a savage, and
even a cannibal, loosens in these beasts
their widest instincts and shows them
in all the mad restlessness of their fe-
rocious natures. So long as the trucks
heaped with great pieces of horse flesh
are in sight this widest of wild scenes
continues, and not until the meat has
been forked into the cages is silence
restored and the commotion ended.

He Arrived Home Too Soon and Did

This resident of Alfred street came
home at the end of one week instead of
three, as he intended when he started
on his business trip. He had his valise
in his hand and rang the dOorbell with
a vim.
"Pity you couldn't bring a gong with
yOu," snapped the sour faced maid
who answered the call. whats the
sense of maxim such a racket? We
don't want anything today" And she
slammed the door in a way that show
ed she didn't mind noise if she made it.
"Open that door" shouted the angry
owner.

"Thats likely story, sich a lookin

He was ten times madden, because
he is 10 years older than his pretty
wife, and jumped up and down on the
veranda while he shouted waved his
valise and vowed all kinds of venge-
ance.
Before he was placid enough to see
straight the viragO was upon him with
a fiatiron, and there was nothing for
him but ignOminiOus flight. He was

peared from down town and called a
halt. OF course he sailed into her for

A FAMILY REUNION.

Friends After an Absence of Six

There was a happy family reunion at
the residence of d. J. Stayton, in Will
mington, last week, when Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. E. Stayton and
other relatives, met their son, VIM. H i.
Stayton, of New York, whom they had
not seen in sixteen years. When the
latter was a boy they resided near
Smyrna, and attracted the attention of
Prof. Jas. H. Groves, the principal of
the High School, who with six 9th er
persons became responsible for his
schooling at the Naval Academy.
William H. Stayton graduated from
the Annapolis Naval Academy in 1881
and remained in the navy for several
years, after which he studied law and
located in New York. During the
Spanish-American war he took an ac-
tive part, commanding the warboats
Buffalo and Irene at different times.
Those present were as follows: Mr.

THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.
THE BRITISH AND THE BOERS HAVING
HARD FIGHTING.
England's Troops Now Getting the Worst of
it, But are Bound to Triumph
in the End.

England seems to be getting the
worst of the fight in the beginning in
the South African war.
General White sent an official dis
patch confirming the report that the
Royal Irish Fusileers, the Gloucester
shire regiment and No. 10 Mountain
Battery were captured by the Beers
near Ladysmlth. About 1900 men,
with AZ officers and seven cannon. The
loss of these men is considered one of
the heaviest blows which the British
army has had in long time.
The New York Tribune in discuss
ing the disaster at Ladysmith says:
''It will not be eemed uniting to
express deep regret at this mishap to
the British arms. Such regret will be
felt, of course, by the great majority of
the American people, whose sympa-
thies are with their British kinsmen in
this war, just as reverse to American
arms would have been regretted last
year by the great majority of the
British people. But even those
who side with the Beers may well feel
regret on the ground of humanity.
For this is as certain as anything in
human affairs can be, that the British
are going to win this war, and this re-
verse and dozen more like it will not
and would not prevent their doing so,
but would rather make their determ-
ination the more infexible and the
final terms of peace more rigorous for
the vanqnished Beers. Every advan-
tage gained by the Beers is therefore
in vain. It is bound to be undone.
And since the war can have only one
conceivable ending, it is best for that
ending to come as soon as possible.
Anything that defers it or makes it
more costly does good to neither side.
We have said that Ladysmith is COM
parable with Majuba Hill. But be-
tween the sequals to them there will
be all the difference in the world.
''The London War Office has taken
measures to meet the disaster. 1t will
send three extra battallions of infantry
and mountain battery to South Africa
to make up for the losses. A second
army corps has beed ordered to hold it's
elf in readiness to be called out.
"About {, 900 fresh troops will arrive
at Cape Town this week, and every
day thereafter, until the end of next
week, more troops will arrive until a
total of $4,000 new men will be there.
According to present plans, the British
army in South Africa will soon reach q
total of 89,634 men, which would bt
about double the combined Boel
forces.
General Butler received a wildly
enthusiastic greeting when he landed
in Cape Town.
