WOULD JOIN BOERS.
Young Afrizanders in Cape Colony Would
Fight England.


Cape Town. Sept. 21-Sir John Cor
don Spriggs, leader of the opposition
in the Cape house of assembly and for
merly premier and treasurer Of Cape
Colony, in an interview to-day. said:
Il would have no doubt that a portion
of the population of the colony would
be actively anti-Brttish in the event of
a war with the Transvaal. | do not
anticipate a rising, but some of the
probably show their sympathy by join
ing the Boer forces. In my judgment,
the proceedings at to-day's meeting of
Afrikander members of the Cape par
hament were most injudicious. No
mention was made of any sympathy
with those who would suffer while
fighting on the British side. 1t is i'm
possible that those who are doing their
best to uphold British authority should
conceive anything in the nature Of a
retirement from the position adopted by
the imperial government. Any such
weakness would be fatal to the future
maintenance of British authority in
South Africa
Referring to the speech of Sir Will
lam Vernon Harcourt last evening in
New Tredegar, England, Sir John said
he considered it 'ill-advised and indu-
dicious,' and especially at the present
iuncture. In his opinion, Harcourt's as
sertion that Great Britain could not
claim general sovereignty in the Trans
vaal, When she had only partial suzer-
ainty would do more than anything else
to encourage dissatisfaction.
II would remind the British public" :"
said Sir John, that Sir William Ver-
non Harcourt was a member of the
government really responsible for all
the present troubles in South Africa
since 1881"

A FrightfuI Runaway.

A frighttul runaway occurred
yesterday afternoon, which, al
though threatening fearful results,
ended without injuring anyone.
Mrs. Preston and two little chill
dren were driving into town on
Pixies Peak avenue, when the bri-
die broke, allowing the bit to fall
out of the horses mouth, and he
at once became unmanageable and
started to run. Mrs. Preston was
powerless to even guide the animal
and upon reaching Main street he
started directly toward the bank
As his feet struck the pavement
the horse slipped and fell, and be-
fore he could get up again a half
dozen men were holding him down.
Before crossing the street Mrs.
Preston had dropped the little boy
out to one side. When the horse
fell Mrs. Preston and the little
girl were thrown out over the dash
board onto the paven ent
1t seems remarkable that no one
was hurt and that comparatively
little damage was done.

Yesterday morning the young
man who drives Alva Koantz' beer
wagon left his team standing in
the alley between Miller & Car

evidently felt the need of exercise,
so decided that a little run around
the block would be about the right
thing. They accordingly took a
run down Pixies Peal, avenue to

east, rounded the corner at the

Half an hour afterward the boy and
the hare arrived in the kitchen at Chats

The little chap was dumb with terror
when he learned what mistake he had
made. but the duke gave him shil-

Tho LnrNnN.

The larynN has been compared to n
wind, a reed and a stringed instrument.
The comparison of it To a violin gave
rise to the not very accurate phrase
vocal cords as the name Of the two
cushions which are its most prominent
features But no string so short as those
vocal cords could produce musical
bass note In fact. the comparison Of
the larynx Ia any instrument which
produces only musical tones is made
quats, to begin with There is no in
strument but the larynx which pro-
duces both song and speech, and as
those comparisons view the larynx
merely as a producer Of musical sounds
we have no further concern with them
at present Besides. the voice can be
trained for speech, alocution and ora
tory without IL knowledge of the physi-
ology of the larynx
We have the power of adjusting the
larynx; of varying the tension of its
cords, cushions or hgaments, as they
have been variously called We can do
these things without scientific technic-
al knowledge of how they are done,
without any knowledge at all of vocal
physiology and it is the work of the
trainer of the voice to teach his pupils

BUT IT WAS LOADED.
Edward Rngan Shoots Himself
Says il was Accidental.

Rumor had it this morning that
young man boarding at the Viii
lard house attempted suicide last
night by shooting himself. A rep
resentative of The TRIRUNE nc
cordingly called at the house, and
was shown into the room occupied
by the injured man The patient
smiled when the reporter was an
uounced and expressed himself as
being glad of the opportunity to re-
fute the story of attempted suicide.
He said that his revolver, an or
dinary 22-calibre gun, was lying
on the box which served as table
in the corner of the room. He
had just taken off his coat, prepar-
ing to go to bed, when the revol-
yer attracted his attention. He
picked it up by the barrel, having
forgotten that the weapon was
loaded, and attempted to put it
out of sight between the box and
the wall, The hammer came in
contact with the edge of the box,
however, discharging cartridge.
The bullet struck the young man
Just above the heart, followed the
wall of the chest and lodged Just
below the shoulder blade, where it
was located and cut out by the
physicians. The wound is not
considered serious and the young
man is bright and cheerful.
The mans name is Edward Ra-
gan. He says he came TO this
place from Illinois, having been
promised a position here, but, up
on arriving, found that his expect
ed employer had changed his mind
in the matter He has been here
about four months, during which
time he has had no employment of
any kind. This fact leads many
to believe the suicide theory. Mr..
Ragan, however, appears to be dis
gusted with the idea. Suicide
would be the greatest foolishuess, y
he said. "One might find himself
in more trouble there than here, -
