Ky. will appear at LeaNenworth hall for the benefit of the Friendly league, in her famous imp2rscnation of Negro Slave Songs and Plantation Folk Lore" Early in life this genuine daughter of the South was fascinated by the weird chants and grooming lullabieS of the negro race. and with unusual facilities at her command she set herself to the task of studying and mastering the folk-songs and folklore of those who had once been slaves. The arduOus work was accompanied by loving enthusiasm. She went among the poor and lowly. and from field, cabin and Prayers House" took from the lips of the negroes the songs and stories which she reproduces with re markable realism. Exclusive critical audiences have applaGded loudly this unappr0achable entertainment. It is at once new. instructive and amusing.

POLICE COURT DoINGs
Lynch Children Will Be Taken il
 Charge By Friends.


 The city court this morning was the scene or very sad affair. the partition ing of family. Joseph McGinness and Mrs Margaret Lynch were before the court charged with disorderly con- duct, to Which they both pleaded not guilty. Officer Noonan and Truant O1neer Hurley, who arrested McGin- ness testified to a deplora ble condition Of things existing i'll the Lynch home. The husband left the wife last July. leaving four small children dependent upon their mother for support. At that time McGinness boarded with the 1ynches and it appeared that he was frequent caller there since them. The suspicious of the neighborhood were aroused that all was not right i'll that house and yesterday morning Ot1cer Noonan's attention was called to the place, with the result as already stated. But it was not on this eyi- dence alone that the case was brought before the court: the eldest little girl of the family. aged s years. told the whole state of affairs to the prosecutor and he told it in court. McGinneSS was fined $f0 and costs and sentenced to thirty days in jail. Sentence was suspended in the woman's case for one week in order to give her time to distribute her children among her relatives, whom it appears are anxious that they should be taken from her. If at the end of a week the order of tine court has not been carried out tlIe court will interfere. pass sentence up- on the woman and make formal order that the children shall be taken care of in other ways. When Mrs Lynch and her boy, 4 years old. who sat with her in the dock heard the order of the court they burst into tears and the picture they presented was strinkingly laMentable.
 Daniel Lynch was found guilty of non-suppOrt and sentenced to sixty days in jail He took an appeal and a bond Of S200 was ordered that he should pay his wife S6 week pending the hearing of the appeal. Lynch has been working in Torrington for some months. yesterday he came to town and was arrested.
 James Moran was fined $10 and costs for putting his wife and children out of the house last evening. These people live in Water vile. Constable Iunny. who made the arrest. testified that he has been re- peatedly called upon by Mrs Moran to act as Deacemaker.

the British.
 LONDON, Nov. 21-Dispatches from South Africa report thnt q great battle is proceeding between the British forces and the Boers under General De Wet.
 Lord Roberts cableg the war office that the Boers attacked a British outpost at Thaba N'Chu, in tho rich grain district east of Biocmfontein, in the Orange Riv- CT Colony on Nov. IS and killed British officer and three men. They allowed q prisoner to return to the British garrison with request for an ambulance.
 Lord Roberts states that the Boers are very active in the southern part of the Orange River Colony and have repeat edly broken the railway and telegraph lines near Edenbur-. He says the occu- patton of klerksdorp by General Barton is important, as it greatly hampers the burGhers in their operations.
 The commander in chief also reports that the Boers have ambushed a wagon load of supplies and 13 men at Utrecht, Natal. They afterward released the men, four of whom were slightly wounded.
 A dispatch from Cape Town says that the transport Canada is being fitted up preparatory to taking Lord Roberts home.

At Senator Davis home it was stated that the physicians had reported their patient as being stronger than for the last two days. The delilium, it is understood, continues, and this is his worst symptom. The respira ton is eight above normal and the tenn perature slightly higher than Monday. The pulse is exactly as it was. Food and a tonic were taken as usual and digested without discomfort. This ability of the stomach to receive and of the system to assimilate nourishment is the one factor upon which the sick statesman must rely in his prolonged fight with disease.
