II. w. Collingwood says: Another
curious thing that we find about the
flock is the fact that there are heredi-
tary tendencies for = certain j. foods.
Many of these hens have evidently
been fed entirely upon corn. They
eat meat and other grains largely un-
der protest. Hens are much like men
In this respect. An ex-mayor of New
YORK told me not long since that he
cannot get through the week without
at least one square meal of corned
beef and cabbage. Possibly there are
persons who can tell in what country
that tendency was formed. A genuine
Yankee cannot forget the baked beans
and fish balls of his early life. Let
me feed hen for the first three
months of her life, and will largely
fix her feeding habits and also have
something to do with the food her
children crave. I think most poultry
men have changed their methods of
feeding since the truth became gener-
ally known that meat in some form
gives by far the best material for
hens muscle makers. Some Of us who
are millionaires in theory have been
taught sever lessons in economy dur
ing the past few years. know a
man who, in 1890, did not think it
possible for his family to live on any
thing cheaper than porterhouse roast
beef. Economy has forced him to real
ize the value in pot roast or even q
shin bone. It has been profitable
surprise to such men to realize that
the nerve and force In pot roast
will enable them to retain their stand

ner we have been forced to hunt cheap

found them In various forms Of meal.

Dead at Their Home.

Dead At Their Home.
Williamsport, Pa, Nov. 24.-Mont-
gomery. this county. is in a frenzy
over the discovery that q wholesale
murder has been committed at q farm
about a mile from the town. Several
weeks ago there appeared on the scene
peddler by the name of Hummell.
who married q widow with three chill
dren. For the past week neighbors
driving past the farm noticed that
there was no sign of habitation, and
some comment was made. An inves-
tigation made late yesterday after
noon revealed the fact that a hor-
rible crime had been committed. On
searching the premises burlap cover
ed with blood was found, and on
searching further the bodies Of two
children were found hidden beneath
straw stack. On going tlitothe house
the mother and another child were
found dead In the sleeping apartments
The dead were horribly mutilated, the
murderer evidently having used club
in carrying out his fiendish crime.
The husband was seen around the
town Wednesday. but since that time
nothing is known of his whereabouts.
Mrs. HummePs name before her re-
cent marriage was Mrs. Oliver Delaney.
She was about 80 years of age. Hum
mels age is between 80 and So years.
The couple we're married on Nov. 10.

Mr.. Mechanics never entirely recover
ed from the shock which was OCCASION
ed him by the suicide Of John Hop

the subsequent closing of that institu-

worked as bobbin boy in a cotton
mill, and when rs years old began busi-

Another Reported Victory For
Britons in South Africa.
BIG LOSS OF OFFICERS AND MEN.

The British Casualties, According to
the omciaI Report, Aggregate Over
Two Hundred-Fort Beers Captured
and .'Mauy Killed and Wounded"
London, Nov. 24.-Before anxiety as
to the situation In Natal had been re-
ceived there comes news Of great
battle at Belmont. This has happened
sooner than was expected. Only the
ofllcial account Is yet to hand, but so
far as can be gathered the fighting ap-
pears to have been almost repetition
Of the battle of Elandslaagte. A dis
patch OF the previous day estimated
that the Beers in that vicinity number
ed 1000, and that they had five guns.
and Judging from the absence Of any
statement to the contrary in the Of
fetal dispatch 1t IL believed that the
British were slightly superior In num-
bers to the enemy.
The Beers had chosen q position with
their customary skill, and were strong
ly entrenched. The British were oblig-
ed to carry three ridges in succession.
Apparently the guards bore the brunt
in carrying the last ridge by . bay
onet charge, after It's defenders had
been shaken with shrapnel.
Nothing 10 said as to whether the
positions so gained were held, and the
destruction of ammunition seems to
Indicate that the contrary was the
case.
While General Methuen can be con-
graduated upon brilliant victory, It
is again at cost of heavy loss of
officers and men.
General Methuen's dispatch, dated
Belmont, Nov. 20, is as follows:
Attacked the enemy ut daybreak this
morning. He was in q strong position.
Three ridges were carried In success
sion, the last attack being prepared
by shrapnel.N Infantry behaved splen-
didly and received support from the
naval brigade and artillery. The enemy
fought with courage and skill. Had
I attacked later I should have had far
heavier losses. Our victory was COM
plete. Have taken 40 prisoners. Am
burying good number Of the Beers,
but the greater part Of the enemy's
killed and wounded were removed by
their comrades. Have captured large
number of horses and cows and de-
stroyed large quantity of ammuni-
ton"
General Methuen's dispatch also
gives a list of the British killed and
wounded. The death list includes
Lieutenant Fryer, Of the Grenadier
Guards. The figures given are: KILL
ed, Sc; wounded, 1928; missing, Is. OF
the wounded % are officers.
The situation In Natal remains OBJ
scnre. Fighting Is reported at both
Eastcourt and Ladysmith. 1t was at
first reported that heavy firing had
been heard in the direction of Willow
Grange, leading to belief that Gen.
eral Hildyard had made sortie. Later
dispatches announce that General
White SORTED from Ladysmith and in
ficted a demoralizing defeat upon the
Beers.
1t would be premature to give full
credence to either report. What is
quite certain is that Ladysmith, Est
court and MOOT River station are all
isolated, and the Beers seem able, after
detaching enough troops to hold three
British forces, aggregating 1900 men,
to push on toward Pietermaritzburg
with some 1000 men.

Washington, Nov. 24.-"Yes,' said
Admiral Dewey last night to q re-
porter, with an appearance Of intense
satisfaction in his manner, II receiv-
ed today the telegram from the mayor
of Chicago experimenting the letter

unlocked for circumstances. ! shall
accept the invitation to visit the city
on the list Of May. have been think
ing Of some place In which to spend
that day, the anniversary Of the mem
orable day Of two years before, and I
don't know of any more agreeable city
in which to spend 1t than Chicago. The
people there have been very kind and
pleasant to me and ever since the bat
tie of Manila | have been receiving EVIL
dences Of their good will and affection.
My hope, therefore, Is to be able to &C.
cept the invitation"
The evidence of good will and kind
ness indicated by the letter from the
committee and from the mayor is a
source Of extreme qualification to the
ADMIRAL at this time, and he embraced
the oppol tunity offered by their Pc
rusal to reiterate his thanks to the
people who have stood by him In the
face of criticism which has appeared
as result of change in the title to

can people.

appreciate their consideration. l am

will from the people, as you will see

care to make any observations on the

suit of the transfer of the property

In conversation with friends the ad-
mtral freely admitted that in transfer

her alone in mind; that he had thought
he could make her no more fitting we'd
ding present than what he valued most,
the gift of the people and the home in
which they were to live, and that he
did not then contemplate the further
transfer of the house to his son George.

BRUTAL MURDER m MARYLAND
Killed . sixteeR-Y ear-Oad Girl whe
Rejected iHis Attentions.

Killed Sixteen. Y ear-Old Girl who
Rejected his Attentions.
Elkton, Nd, Nov. ga brutal MUIR
der occurred last night near the village
of Aiken, this county. Silas White. 25
years old, according to the statement
of an eye witness. shot and killed
Rhoda Jackson. the pretty 16-year-old
daughter Of Frank Jackson. a promi-
nent farmer. White secreted himself
behind clump Of bushes near the
Jackson house and awaited the re-
turn of the young lady, who had gone
to a neighborin3 farm "a an errand.
AS she was entering her yather's gate
White appeared and sent three bullets
from a revolver through her head.
The girl died within half an hour.
William Winchester. boy Of 10, was
q witness to the deed.
A crowd Of neighboring farmers soon
assembled about the Jackson home,
and White would doubtless have been
lynched had he been found, but he
made good his escape.
The motive for the crime ia sup
posed to be jealousy, although Miss
Jackson, according to her parents, did
not receive visits from any one, and
had several times refused to have any
thing to do with White, Of whom she
was in constant dread. White had
been trying to get Miss Jacksons con.
sent to let him visit her.
