THE OPEN DOOR

A Telephone is an Open Door through
which trade enters.
Telephone service is a business neces-
sity.
1t is to the merchant an outlet for in
formation and quotations and an inlet
for orders.
Telephone service keeps the manufac-
turer, the merchant and the consumer in
constant touch.
1t notifies the producer at whatever
distance of the variations of demand.
Telephone service increases sale by the
expedition it lends to the filling of orders.
1t keeps the business interests through
out the country in communication with
the markets.
Telephone service saves much time and
as thine is Money" it saves MONEY.
1t costs less than an errand boy and it
does the work of commercial giant.
Telephone service between Office and
residence is a tremendous convenience,
and at the present message rates is an
unimportant expense.
If one telephone SO increases business
that the Open Door" is crowded, open
another door; that is, have another tele-
phone-or better, a Private Branch Ex-
change, with trnnk lines to the Central, y
switchboard, and as many stations as
may be required.

Disastrous Freight Train Wreck.

Princeton, n. j., Dec. 1.-TWO lives
we're lost and one man seriously iniur-
ed on the Pennsylvania Railroad four
miles west of Monmouth Junction at
APO o'clock this morning. A long
freight train while driving at rapid
rate, suddenly began to slacken up.
The quick stop threw one of the cars
over upon the adjoining track. An ex-
ira freight train coming east on the OBJ
structed track with all speed crashed
into the overturned car with terrific
force. Engineer Steigler and Fireman
Heincker were buried beneath the mass
of wreckage and their lives crushed out
in a twinkliDg. A !breakman named
Zagbaum was thrown from one of the
cars and fatally injured. The extra
from engine to caboose was literally
aplintered into toothpicks. The tracks
were torn up and the whole road bed
was piled high with wreckage. As q
result. the whole system was tied up
for many hours.

THE WAR IN AFRICA.

The British military authorities are
devising means to overcome the defeat
of Major General Sir William Forbes
Gatacre's army of 4, 900 men at Storm
berg on Sunday, which, it is admitted
is a check to the British plan of cam
paign in Cape Colony. Not only must
Gatacre wait for reinforcements before
beginning another advance toward the
Free State frontier, but General French
must delay the advance from De Aar
and Naauwport, and General Methuen,
at Modder river, Is lmpeded by not
having the pressure on his line of conf
munication completely relieved. A
cablegram from Pretoria states that q
total of 672 British prisoners were cap
tured at Stormberg. The Beers also
say they captured three guns. 1t now
appears that the Beers numbered six
thousand, instead of $500, as the spies
had reported to the British. The seri-
GUS defeat ofthe British has caused in
tense anxiety and depression in Eng
land.
In the fighting at Modder river on
SUNDAY, q caDlegram IrOm Inc Same
place states, Gen. Cropje held his own
against Methuen and captured so pris-
oners.
Gen. Butler held q review of his
troops on Sunday at Frere, Natal,
where they we're concentrated for the
advance on Gen. Joubert's army at Co.
lenso. This review is regarded as a
preliminary to the advance.
Boer advices state that men and
horses in the Ladysmith garrison are on
half rstions.
The total known British losses in the
war 30 far are computed at 1920, d.
vided as follows: Killed 557. wounded
1,575, missing and prisoners zoos.
Lord Mayor Talon, at meeting of
members of the Dublin corporation, de-
nounced the war and said that America
opposed it.
The fifth division of the British army
for South African service. under Gen.
Sir Charles Warren, will arrive at Cape.
town in about 10 days, and some Of
these troops will be sent to Gataere's
relief.

FROM THE PHILIPPINES.

The people of the Illocos region, on
the Island of Luzon, through which
Aguinaldo recently passed, say that he
still olings to the hope that the United
States Congress will recognize the in
dependence of the so-called Filipino re-
public.
The American forces have occupied
Olansspo and Tubig, and will establish
a naval station at the former place.
General Grant continues his movement
along the coast, but is not garrisoning

The Transvaal War.

London, Dec. 12.--No news from
South Africa of a nature to divert at
tention from General Gstaore's disaster
at Stormberg has been received thus
far today. 1t is now feared that the
war Office Is suppressing later reports
which would reveal the fact that
Gatacre's column, after the defeat, ran
to Molteno, leaving their cannon be-
hind them, and that the six hundred or
more prisoners in the hands of the
Beers were taken because they were
less hset than their comrades. This
seems the only explanation OF the few
casualties and many prisoners.
Lorenzo Marques, Dec. l2.-Boer
accounts of the British defeat at
Stormberg Sunday, say that General
Eyast Grabler, commander in chief OF
the Free State forces, was in command
of the Beers.
Pretoria, Dec. 12.-Plumer's force,
from Rhodesia, marching to the relief
of Mafeking, has reached Gaberones
unopposed. a strong Boer force was
reported at Gaberones, about one
hundred miles TO the north OF Mafek-
ing.
London, Dec. 1.-THE war office to-
day received report from General
Gatacre further explaining his disaster
at Stormberg Sunday. He says the at
tack on the Boer position seemed to
promise success, but the distance from
Molteno was underestimated and the
local police unintentionally guided the
British by a roundabcut way into an
impossible position. Tie Beers fired
from All unaca able bill. The North
understands failed to turn their position.
The Irish Rifles held the Kopje until
seeing their position hopeless they re-
tired along the ridge. One gun upset
and was abandoned. Another was lost
in the quicksand. The Boer guns were
remarkably well served. General
Gatscre adds he is now holding Bush
mans Hook and Cyphergat, to the
south of Stormberg on the railroad, and
has sent the Northumberland Fusiliers
and the Irish Rifles to SterKstroom
to recuperate.
