Cape Town, December 1.-Genera
! Gatacre reports no change in the situa
tion. General French made a reconnois
sance from Naaupoort to Rossmead
The troops returned to-day.
General Methuen has a flesh wound
He is remaining at the Modder river fol

London, December 2.-As surmised
the British dead and wounded at the
hard-foughIt battle of Modder rive
number hundreds. Up to o'clock this
afternoon only a bare total of 43S, OF
which seventy three We're killed, had
been given out. From General Forester
Walkers dispatch it is proved that the
reports of Methuen's advance after the
battle Of Modder river were premature,
though with the railroad working he
should not be long in constructing a
temporary bridge. His enforced delay.

ice, giving the hard-pushed column
needful rest and allowing the arrival CT
re-enforcements, of which he must l;e
sorely in need after three such fights,
placing hors du combat upward of 1000
men out of less than 1000.
The latest news from Natal indicates
that the bulk of the Ladysmith relief
force has arrived at Frere, though there
is considerable conjecture as to the
whereabouts of General Clery, whose
movements have not been chronicled
recently. 1T is surmised in some quar-
ters that he may reappear in a totally
unexpected quarter on the flank OF rear
of General Joubert's force, supposed to
be concentrated at Grobelaar's Kloof,
north of the Tugela river. AS General
Hildyard's advance guard was in touch
with the Beers Tuesday, developments
should mot be long delayed.
Dundenald's mounted force Novem-
ber %, accompanied by four guns, went
in pursuit of a body of Beers returning
to Colenso. They followed the Beers
within two and half miles of Colenso
when the Beers replied to the British
shells with long-range guns. No casual
ties occurred Colenso bridge, it is add
ed, was afterward blown up. Another
detachment of 5000 British troops sailed
for South Africa to-day.
London, December 2.-According to a
special from Cape Town, General Jou-
bert was killed November 10, but Gen.
eral Buffers dispatch of November e
shows that General White was in COM
munication with General Joubert OF
somebody impersonating him, about
November 10.

ELS FIRE ESCAPE.
The Only Time the Traveller Wanted
to Use It He Couldn't viAa
the Key

A commercial traveller who was put
ting up at one Of the hotels exhibited
q curious contrivance to some friends
the other evening. says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat It consisted of q
metal reel almost eight inches long.
bolted securely to one of the inside cor
ners of his trunk. On the reel was
wound about 100 feet of steel wire, ter
minating in a sort of stirrup. The en-
tire device occupied considerably less
than a square foot of room, and the
drummer explained that it was fire
escape of his own invention. "Al 1
have to do" he said, lis to put my foot
in the stirrup and let myself out of the
window. The trunk acts as an anchor
at this end and the ratchet at the side of
the reel prevents the wirefrom paying
out too rapidly" Ibid you ever have
occasion to put it to use?" asked one Of
the spectators. ''Only once" replied
the drummer. 81 was in 4 hotel that
caught fire at nj ght about eight months
ago and the first thing l did when
jumped out of bed was to rush for my
trunk. It was locked and in my excite
ment 1 couldn't find the key. l hunted
high and low and was still hunting
when the porter rushed in and led me
downstairs. They extinguished the fire
and subsequently discovered the key
under the bureau. Now have the thing
on a chain and am loaded for confa gra.

TIE BUGLER WHO FORGOT.
He Saw IN Opening In the Enemy'a
Line and Sounded a
Charge.

It is not often that an enlisted man
gets chance to run part of the fight
to suit himself. That chance, however,
says Leslie's Weekly, came to one bu-
gler. Capt. Hannay, finding that COM
pany L was too far away to hear orders,
in recent engagement in the Philip
pines, sent his bugler after the COM
pany to sound the charge. At the first
notes company L flew onward. 1t was
right here that the bugler forgot, for
the time being, that he was only the
commanding officers orderly. He sawa
other chance, he thought, not to be lost.
He sounded once more and Lieut.. Ross,
imagining, OF course, that the order
came from Capt. Hannay, executed it..
Not even yet was the bugler's thirst for
forward action stated. He sounded
again and again, as the heat of general
ship made his blood flow thick and fast.
By the time the bugler came to him
self and relinquished the duties of fight
director, the poor fellows of company
L were troubled with shortness Of
breath. In this brisk affair, according
to the official report, the dead reached
a total of about 60, including some
officers. 1t is the enemy's dead that is
meant, of course. Twenty-one mausers
and six remingtons were the spoils OF
the field.

LONDON TAILORS.
Their Garments Are Well Made and
Show Good WOrkmanship
but Do Not Fit.

1.-THE best that can be said of the
clothes imported by American men
from London is that they are well
made" said Nelson r. Huntington, of
New York, who has spent years abroad
in the study of the hospitals, to Phil
adelphia North American man. "They
never fit. Indeed. the art of misfit
seems to be carefully studied. The gar
ments of both men and women never set
well, and even the actresses, who are
supposed to be eXacting, suffer from
the inability or indisposition of the
English tailors to fit the figure. The
finish, however, shows fine and thor
ough workmanship. The French
achieve better fits, but the work is
atrocious, making the best garments
look cheap and hurried. Not even i'm
portant buttons are secure. American
tailors and dressmakers surpass. every
thing in Europe in making a fl, and the
finish compares favorably with the Eng
lish. The New Workers who import
garments made by Poole and other
fashionable London tailors had them
refitted by American teilors until year
or two ago, when the latter refused to
touch them at any price"

MOTIFS

When the foolish man wants to
sell or buy anything he rides all over
the country in the hot sun looking
for the party of the second part.
The wise man puts few lines in the
newspaper and lets them go all over
the country for him, while he sits in
the shade or goes along about his
business. Whenever any man has a
COW or horse, calf or farm tool to sell
there is some other man somewhere
who il waiting to buy the thing, but
these two men might travel week
and not find each other. Adyertis-
ing brings them together every time.

THE BOSTON WOMAN.
She Thoroughly IncuIcates and IL.
Illustrates the True Principles
of Freedom.

Boston does not develop its character
through the medium Of its aristocracy
alone, writes Margaret Allston in La
dies Home Journal. 1t is the most
democratic city in America. if not in the
world. 1t is both the cradle and nurse
of independence. Evidences Of these
truths were set forth in the costumes OF
the feminine mass in evidence at the
first symphony rehearsal l attended.
All of fashionable Boston was present,
and still the audience did not look fash
ionable from a metropolitan stand
point. There were SO many women!
If you could hear the plant OF that ex-
clamation you would understand at
once how oppressive in its preponder-
ance is the femininity Of Boston. WON
an" is stamped on every inch of Massa-
chusetts ground. (There can be even
too much of a good thing.) She is as
