WEEDS A SAVAGE.
Strange Marriage of Pretty Annie Jewell
Excites Widespread Disgust.

Strange Marriage of Pretty Annie Jewell
Excites Widespread Disgust.
New York,-The Herald the has the
following cable from London.
The strange marriage Of pretty
Annie Jewell, daughter of the late
Mexican miner, and the so-called
Prince Lobengula, engaged with the
savage South Africa exhibition, excit-
ed such widespread disgust that the
clergymen of two London churches de-
clined to perform the ceremony, and
the couple ultimately were welded be-
fore the civil registrar only. Loben
gula had been pursnaded by the mana
ger Of the exhibit to abandon the
project, but Annie would have no de-
NAL, and taking the giant Matabele
into her own hands, she forced him to
marry her. They started on honey
moon to Southampton, Joining the
Cape liner there Saturday to return to
South Africa.
This unpleasant episode has provok-
ed numerous vehement yprotests from
the press against the familiarity dis
played innocently by English girls to-
ward the Matabeles now performing
at the Earl's court exhibition The
audience is allowed to visit the Mat
abeles, in savage costume in their
kraaI where respectable girls shake
hands with them, and some, in a spirit
of bravado, even kiss them. The Afri-
can attendant at the krasl said to
your correspondent;
"The girls here seem fairly crazed
about these half naked brutes No
feature Of the exhibition has drawn so
we'll as this kraal Eighty per cent Of
the visitors are women and girls,
some coming night after night to
cultivate these fellows, giving them
presents of all kinds. But for the
difficulty of making themselves un-
derstood, and the severe restrictions
we place on the liberty of the Mata-
beles, am convinced half dozen
could have been married to English
girls before this -
The South African authorities realize
the big mistake Of permitting this show
in London, as it utterly demoralizes
the Matabeles. who lose all respect for
tho whites when they return, making
them more difficult to manage than

morning she danced into mammals
room just as the sun was making rosy
clouds in the east.

beside mamma.
Such wonderful dolll Not pink
and white one, with fluffy yellow hair
and staring blue eyes. Oh, mol Bessie
had half dozen such in her play
room. This dearest, loveliest doll
that she had ever seen had face as
black as rubber shoe, which shone
like patent leather. 1t had lips as red
as cranberry, and great black eyes
that glistened like Jet because of the
white around them.
isn't she darling?' demanded
wee Bessie, with a loving squeeze, and
Just then Aunt Bessie herself came in
"Do you like your dollie, pet?" she
asked.
"Shc is the incest, bu'fullest one

SO she played with Dinah all day,
and Aunt Bessie made wee night
dress for her, so she could sleep in
Bessie's little bed at night.
The next morning Betty, the wash
erwoman's little girl, brought note
to Bessie's mamma. Betty stood near
the door while mamma read the note,
looking at the new doll with longing
eyes that made Bessie's little heart
ashe with sympathy. Aunt Bessie
gave her some candy but she held it
in her hand aud looked at Dinah.
Bessie tried hard not to see her. She
turned around aud sang little songs
as she slowly rocked Dinah and hugged
/ her tightly, Int she told Aunt Bessie

This is what Bessie did She
kissed Diuah, laid her Ia Betty's arms,
then ran to mamma, hid her face, and
sobbed as if her heart would break.
Betty looked after her with wonder
ing eyes, then turned Dinah slowly
around until she had seen all about
her, from her kinky black hair to her
stubby red boots. Then, with deep
sigh of satisfaction, she gave her back
to Bessie.
'Law, miss, I jest wanted to see
her close: wouldn't take her from
you"
Was Bessie glad? If you had been
there you would not need to ask.
After Aunt Bessie went home she
sent another doll exactly like Dinah,
and just as soon as our Bessie could
put on her hood and cloak she carried
it to Betty, and this time she laughed
when she laid it in her arms. Youth S

dozen men were lying at Glenora in

They heard of several deaths at

named Webb, of Kansas City, died Of
scurvy at Frances Lake a few weeks

near Dease Lake, about the first week

Miles and Root Discuss tho Military Situa-
tion In the Philippines--vigorou Cam
paign VIII be Commonc by November
mo Interruption in Enlistment.

WaSnlntOn 1t mas been determined
definitely by the administration that
more volunteers shall be enlisted than
are needed to fill the ten regiments Ee-
,eptly ordered to be raised, two or three
Df which already are recruited to their
full strength just how many addition
al regiments will be recruited is yet to
be decided upon absolutely, though 1t
Is not improbable that the entire vol
unteer force of 35, 900 men authorized
by the reorganization act will be en-
listed
Major General Miles has recommend
ed that the whole provisional army be
raised, and his counsel Is being accord
ed serious consideration. Secretary of
War Root, when asked whether con-
clusion in the matter had been reached
said that it was stilf In abeyance.
'We have 1t under advisement, =
the secretary stated, i'll reply to the
question. 'and have not yet determin-
ed how many additional regiments
shall be recruited.
That at least five more regiments of
volunteers will be raised is certain
that ten will be recruited is sure, while
there is strong probability as indicat-
ed above, that the entire authorized
volunteer force will be enlisted before
the enlistments are closed. That the
administration has concluded to enlist
more troops for service in tho Philip
pines did not come in the nature of o
complete surprise. Such action has
been foreshadowed on several occasions
in these dispatches.
The enlistment Of volunteers now 60
ing on will continue without Interrupt
ton at the regular army recruiting sta
tions, and it is exceedingly doubtful if
there will be any cessation whatsoever
until 35, 900 volunteers are In the SER
vice, unless the insurrection in tho
Philippines comes to an unexpected
termination, which is almost outside
the realm Of possibility at this ii me-
When orders were issued in the second
week of July for the recruiting of ten
volunteer regiments it was stated in
this correspondence that tho number
was merely tentative and temporary
limit, subject very probably to an iu-
crease before the summer was over.
This forecast has been justified by
recent developments and the new resi'
ments will be given numerical designa-
tions, as all others i'll the service have
received. The plans of rendezvous and
other matters of detail will be announc-
ed in due time, as will the appointment
of officers. Secretary Root and Gen.
Miles were in consultation for some
time Saturday discussing various
phases of the Philippine military ST
uation
A vigorous campaign will be COM
menced by November and during that
and the succeeding month it is thought
that such hard blows will be delivered
against the rebellion that it will col
lapse early in the new year. Gen Otit
will have all the men he needs to accom-
plish that end
