down, offered him the position
Of Commander-in. chief. He re-
f. fed unless given permission to
choose his own staff because he
and Lord Woolesley were not
friends and would not permit
Woolesley to foster a staff upon
him. He also demanded from
10000 to 10000 troops. His de.
mands were granted, He is
said to be wiIlful, hard headed
and Il fine general. He frankly
stated that when he arrived in
Africa he would decline to be
handicapped by the war de
paytment and would cut the
wires behind him. He is quoted
as saying; I will not be handed
down in history as another Sir
George Colley. The reference
was to the defeat at Majuba
Hill. He will be as absolute as
Wellington and less hampered
than Kitchener.
1T is this man. then, whom
some Of his own officers do not
hesitate to call Il brute. how
ever much they admire his de.
termination, who holds the des
tiny of the Transvaal and the
Orange Free State in his hand.
He knows the Beers and he
hates them. He has campaign
ed over the whole present bat
tie ground, and is, above all, 4
soldier from head to foot. As
soon as he reaches South Africa
he will inaugurate Il campaign
of aggressiveness such as the
world has seldom seen, but
which we believe justifiable by
virtue of his own superior force
The sternest measures will no
be too stern for him, and unit
the last vestige of Dutch power
whether in the Transvaal, til,
Orange Free State of Cap,
Colony, is swept out, he will
not stay his hand. The idea i
we'll illustrated by Sir JOIN
Tenniel's cartoon in this week

saying: "As you will fight, yo,

some one opened his door while

both men met death with tirmness, al
though Taylor was extremely nervous
and his voice quavercd as he made n
statement in which he ietracted former
confessions and his testimony on the
witness stand and asserted that Brown
had nothing whatever to do with the
murder. Brown also protested to the
very last that he was innocent.
Taylor, who was about 30 years old.

on the other hand, bore a fairly good
reputation and was about 40 years old.

Wheeling, Aug. 10. - Deep interest is
shown by manufac turers of pottery in
This district in the movement begun by
some manufacturers to bring about a
general increase Of selling prices. The
principal reason for this advance is the
largely increased price of the materials
that enter into the manufacture OF pot
terry. The manufacturers assert that al
most every mail brings them notice of an
increase in the price of certain lines OF
material. In addition to this reason for
the advance the wages of the potters
were advanced 1215 per cent some time
ago, and, in spite Of this fact, prices OF
ware are lower than under the former
arrangement.

A SHOOTING STAR.
What 1t Really Ii and Where 1t

Sir Robert Ball, who is the world $
greatest living astronomer, told Lon
don audience recently some interesting
facts about meteorites and shooting

ties he said that millions Of years ago,
when the earth was an infant at play
and volcanoes were giants, the meteors
were thrown upward in infant convul-
sions Some of the earth S discarded
rocks returned at once, but those which
were flung upward at rate greater
than seven miles second passed be-
yond the earth's gravitating influence
and sought paths Of their own. no one
could tell whittier.
And then. after millions of years,
they once more came within the reach
of the world. and old Mother Earth re-
sumed her sway, took back the rocks to
her bosom and the astronomers said a
meteorite had fallen.
Sir Robert asked his hearers to mag

miles of air round the earth s surface
Now just in the same way that a GIN
