Paris, Nov. 2.-The Havas agency
this evening publishes the following
extraordinary dispatch, which the
agency says was received through it's
correspondent a Brussels:
Cape Town, Nov. 2.--News of the
Beers two victories around Ladysmith
has created considerable excitement
among the Afrikanders, who do not
conceal their joy. Sir Alfred Miner,
British high commissioner, is perturbed
at their attitude. General White in
these two engagements lost about $50
men killed, wounded and prisoners.
The second victory was won by Free
Staters commanded by Lucas Meyier,
who seized Colenso. thus cutting Of
the retreat of General White. who ia
wounded. The investment of Lady
smith is complete and the Beers are
masters of Pietermaritzburg and the
Durham railway. News has reached
General White that Mafeking is close
ly besieged and that the Beers have
repulsed many sortics. The surrender
OF MafelSing is expected. 1t Is also
confirmed that the Free Staters have

ANXIETY IS GREAT.
English People Still awaiting News
From the Seat of War.

London, Nov. 2.--The brevity Of the
news from Ladysmith since Tuesday night
has not relieved the anxiety prevailing
regarding the position Of the British army
at Ladysmith. The war office has no in
formation Of General Butler having left
Cape Town.
Colenso in the rear of Whites forces
is believed to be well defended by COM
poste naval and military corps, and it is
understood two naval 12-poundeIG,
mounted near the bridge over the Tugela,
enc OF the most vulnerable points along
the railroad from Ladysc,ith to Picter-
rnaritZburg. ought to be able to defend it
and prevent its destruction. If the Beers
succeeded in destroying this bridge it
would mean the interruption of railroad
communication with Ladysmith for an
inedfinite period. While Boer attempts in
this direction are not confirmed, it is
claimed they may be expected momen-
tarily. and the reported steady she!lng
of I4adysmith, it is added points to the
Intentions Of the Boer commanders to
keep White occupied while their strategy
is carried out.
The only information received this
morning from the seat of war in addi-
tion to brief dispatch from White say
ing he was well and holding his position,
were the lists Of casualties.
An official telegram. reporting the con-
dition of the injured at Kimberley. adds
that Colonel kekwitn, British comnan-
der there, has learned from various
sources that the Boer losses on the occa-
sion of the late sortie of British troops
from Kimberley were very heavy.
The newspapers here continue to ex-
press keen pleasure at the sympathy OF
the United States.
The ST. James Gazette says: Few more
graceful examples could be imagined OF
the courteous spirit of American sympa-
thy with this country, which has been so
often evident of late, than the project of
the American ladies' for a hospital ship,
which will probably be fitted out with
many Of those American nurses whose
services were so highly valued during the
Cuban war"

New York, Nov. 2.--George Dixon,
featherweight champion of the world,
more than held his own tonight gainst
Willie Curley Of England. Cl,rley is A
clever, game boy, but Dixon is little
bit cleverer and none the less game.
DiXons victory was well earned and BY
his defeat of Curley he re-establishes
what has always been claimed. that he
is the superior of Jordan, Palmer and
Allen, who have forfeited TO Curley.
Curley has no excuse to make for his
defeat tonight other than that he was
outclassed. Dixon was a big favorite,
as much as 100 to 80 being wasered on
him. Before the Englishman donned the
gloves he demanded an assurance that
the purse of $4,000 was guaranteed.
In the opening round CuIlcy shot two
hard lefts into Dixon's mouth. Dixon
swung lefts on body and head. There
We're light exchanges in the second
round and in the third Curley had the
better of the lighting, though Dixon was
the aggressor at the opening. Curley
planted a terrific right straight over
Dixon's heart.
Dixon forced matters In the fourth.
but Curley was very clever in lodging
his assaults and Curley's blocking was
almost perfect.
The fifth round was Dixon's. He
brought Curlcy 70 his tiptoes with a
hard left in the stomach. Curley weak
ened and Dixon swung a right on the
jaw. Curley cliuched. but DtxGn fought
him off sending in hard ones on the
wind and was forcing Curley all round
the ring when the gong sounded.
Dixon continued his rushing in tha
sixth landing a hard right over tha
ear. Curley landed his right on the
body, a right on the ribs and just before
the bell put left swing On Dixon's
head.

Girlhood's Charm.

The woman who keeps the sinplici-
ty of her girlhood, its generous impul-
ses and quick syr pathies, and who
adds to her gifts the enlargement Of
study and the crown of experience, Is
always at her best and never past it.
When the exterior attractions of form
begin to fade, the radiance Of our
inner illumination will more than
compensate their departure. But, in
order that this should be SO, her moral
must equal her intellectual gain. She
must be willing to learn, not only her
own powers, hut her own defects al
so, and to court the good influences
which can help her to escape from the
delusions of sense and the fatal tyran-
ny of self-consciousness. She must
discard the petty measures of vanity.
and self-seelling, and learn to love her
race, her country, and the humanity
which she should help to adorn.

Language Of Sealing Wax.

Postage stamps have long had Ian
guage and now comes some one who
claims to translate the subtle meaning
of sealing wax. Business letters should
be sealed with rcd, friendly letters with
gray. To your lover you devote blue,
in token of constancy, unless you wish
to hint that you have or think you
have cause for jealousy, when You
will use yellow. A reply to wedding
invitation should he sealed with white
and letter of coincidence or death call
for black or violet. A dinner invita-
tion may be sealed with coffee COL
ored wax, and when man gets let
ter sealed with green, from the girl
lie admres, he may feel that she shyly
bids him hope.
