PARIS, Nov. 1.-The Havas agency,

two victories around Ladysmith has
created considerable excitement among
the Afrikanders, who do not conceal
their joy Sir Alfred Miner Ohe
British high commissioner is much
perturbed at their attitude. General
iWhite, in these two engagements, lost
about $50 men killed, wounded ana
prisoners. The second victory was
won by the Free Staters, commanded
by Lucas Meyer, who seized Colenso,
thus cutting off the retreat OF General
White, who is wounded. The invest:

The same train that carries the stand
ard will carry the "ordinary" The
Baltimore & Ohio train from Chicago to
Pitsburg will have a standard, on
which the passenger will pay $3.50, and
an ordinary on which the charge will
be but SIPS. In all cases the ordinary
rate will be half that of the standard,
excepting when the standard charge is
less than 81 The minimum fare on the
ordinary will be 81. The road has added
eight Of the new coaches to it's trains,
running them between Chicago and
Pittsburg and between Baltimore and
Newark O., and providing for all night
travel between these points.
The ordinary coach in all essential
points is just as comfortable in every
way as the standard, the only differ
ence being that it is not finished so
luxurously or extensively. An ordinary
coach has been on exhibition at the
Grand Central depot and an examina-
ton of the car failed to reveal a single
point of Importance in which it is sur
passed by the standard. It is the same

the exterior the appearance is about the

the same as the largest standard cars,
and each berth is fitted with bedding
of the same quality and quantity as a
berth in standard. The interior of
the car is finished in birch and the car
seats are upholstered with cane instead
of the plush used in the standard.

There is no smoking room for gentle
men, but as in the standard the ends of
the coach are devoted to the Mushrooms
for ladies and gentlemen. The absence
of the smoking room and the presence
of the rattan upholstery strike the cas-
ual observer as the only differences be-
tween the two styles of sleepers. They
are lighted and heated just the same
and have the same porter service. There
are some accommodations in the ordi-
nary which the standard does not pos
sess. Near one end of the ordinary
there is an arrangement in connection
with the heater for warming the lunch

New York, March 7.--As we pre-
dicte'l some weeks ago, the silk waist
has a renewed lease of life. and is, if
possible, more popular than ever be-
fore. A few months ago very chic wo-
men believed that a separate waist and
skirt was a style of the past. but here
it is again, like the boero TOO convpn-
lent and too universally becoming to be
discarded. Some of the new creations
are positively works of art, if one may
be allowed the expression. though
bright colors are the fad of the hour
and nothing seems too bright or daz-
zling to use in this connection. This is
of course in direct contradiction to the
spring colors in entire costumes or in
elegant gowns. For those who object
to the gay colOrngs there are light silks
with tiny white figure which are
made up very effectively and are OF
course very novel.

skirt, which is very becoming to the
figure.
Another exceedingly smart cloth
gown is made in pale-gray cloth,
with a perfectly plain skirt bor
dered at the extreme edge of
the hem with several rows of
stitching. Above this skirt there are
two other skirts or tunics, also of gray
cloth. the cloth being naturally one
that is very light in weight and lined
only with soft gray surah. These two
overskirtS are almost like long red
ingotes in appearance, the upper one
being. of course, by far the shorter of
the two. They are also edged with
stitching and fit quite closely to the
figure for some distance below the
waist.
At the waist there is folded band of
emerald-green velvet drawn down to a
sharp point in the center of the front
and fastened there by a long narrow
diamond buckle. The triple skirt idea
finds it's echo on the bodice, where a
deep cape collar, formed of three frills
of cloth, edged with stitching, is draped
around the shoulders, almost in the
fashion of tichu. or Delerine. Above

already been finished and 20 more are
nearing completion.

yoke of cream satin, covered with ivory
lace applique, the design of which is
outlined with green satin baby ribbons,
while the collar band consists of few
folds of emerald-greer velvet drawn
through narrow diamond slides. A
charming toque of dark violets, with
bows of emerald-green velvet placed
erect on one side, will be worn with this

to one pound and half in weight. It

preparations to supply the markets
of this country every spring with the
vegetable are made early in January,
and when gathered in March and April
the onions are carefully selected and
packed in crates, weighing, when filled,
100 pounds. The onions are then taken
to the general receiving wharf, where
they are subjected to rigid inspection
by government officers. If the quality
of the produce is not good and any i'm
perfect or decayed specimens are found,
the farmer is made to pick the goods
over and replace them. The onions are
then passed by the inspector, and when
the crates have been closed and marked
by the shipper they are loaded on board
a steamship, which, after voyage OF
48 hours, lands them, principally in
New York. Here consignments of from
1000 to 5000 crates, each containing
$50 onions. are received semiweekly.
The vegetable is usually sold by the

Our Catarrhal Troubles Are Largely
Due to It's Abandonment.
s'1f the American people would only
put on nightcaps when they go to bed,
there would not be NEAR so many cases
of catarrhal trouble as there are now"
said a Chicago physician. He contin-
ued: "lt is we'll known that as ma
tion the percentage of catarrhal COM
plants is greater among us than in any
other nation in the world and that there
are more cases among men than among
women. The reason for this dispropor
tion is the absence of nightcaps and the
habit Of smoking in the open air. Wo-
men, if they smoke at all, do not do so
in the open air, and if they do not wear
nightcaps they are in a measure pro-
tected by their heavier heads of hair.
Men, on the contrary, habitually wear
their hair close cut, are careless about
the temperature of the rooms in which
they sleep, and while all the rest of the
body is carefully protected the head
may be exposed all night to zero tenn
perature and that at the very time
when nature is at its lowest ebt and
can do the least to protect itself. If we
would begin by nightcapping all our
children and induce them to keep up
the habit in later years, within a gen.

"Englishmen and the people of the
continent know an American by two
things-his Hberality with money and
his habit of hawking and splitting.
They cannot understand the latter, as
catarrh is an unusual complaint abroad.
But nightcaps are not. They are a recog-
nized part Of the night toilet through
out Europe, and to this is due the free
dom of the people there from distress
ing complaint.

Hunting Marsh HOGS.

Hunting wild marsh hogs is an ex-
citing but somewhat dangerous pastime
in southern Texas" said G. L. Fielden
of that state. ''In the swampy lands
along the gulf these wild hogs have
their habitat, and to hunt them it is
best to have several companions and
numerous dogs that understand the
ways of the ferocious porkers. The dog
will find the game for you, bay it and
hold it in check until you can take a
shot or two. Then everything depends
on your aim. If you succeed in pierc-
ing vital part with your Winchester
bullet, all is over except dragging the
carcass to some convenient point where
it can be handled.
''But dangerous is your position if
your aim is trif1e defective and your
shot only wounds the animal Some
good and true shooting must be done
instanter then by you and your COM
rades, or else an infuriated boar will be
rending you with his tusks. have seen
more than one of these old boars shot
through the body 20 or more times and
in that condition fight man and dog
until several balls had been fred into
his head.
''In the marshes there is no possible
way of escaping an attacking wild hog
except by killing him. The hunter can
make no headway through the tall.
rank grass and boggy SOIL and there
are no trees that effer him refuge. For
these reasons he is compelled to kin his
game when once it is flushed or become
himself victim. In the fall Of the year
these marsh hogs are fat, and their flesh
is of very pleasing flavor. Wash
