GAME OF couNrER-srRoKE.
Beers Capture British and British
Capture Beers

NEW YORK, April IA dispatch from
London says:
The game of commensurate has been
played on both sides with success Cen
Methuen has entrapped a small body Of
BoerS near Boshof surrounding them
and taking tlfty-four prisoners, after g
four hours fight. His force included the
Imperial Yeomanry. whose exploit will be
popular one in England, where great
interest has been taken in this body Of
rough riders and crack shots. The cas-
ualties were nearly equal on both sides,
apart from the prisoners.
This episode throws little light upon
the mysterious operations which Gen
Methuen has been conducting north of
Kimberley. 1t indicates the facility with
which the British commanders can adapt
themselves to the guerrilla warfare into
which the Boer tactics are rapidly de-
generating. Gen Viilebois- Mareuil who
was killed on the Boer side, was Jou-
berts military adviser in Natal, and was
engaged by DR.. Leyds at the outbreak
of the war. His record in the French
army was brilliant, and DIR. Leyds made
an excellent investment in securing his
services. He has been in the French war
office and staff college, and was chief of
staff In the Algerian army. French Off
GERS have considered that his abilities
were cverrated, but he had evidently
been most useful to the Boer generals in
Natal in showing them how they could
adapt their tactics to new conditions of
warfare lie was the best foreign ex-
pert OH the Dutch side, and his death Is
serious blow, especially as the Beers
have lost two of their best men-Joubert
and CronJe. If he suggested the new pol
icy Of counter attack upon the lines OF
the British communication, as was re-
ported, he has fallen victim of his own
tactics.

EXHIBITORS of CANNES GET

According to the statements by the
local owners of dogs, who were awarded
prizes at the fourth annual exhibition of
the Northwestern Kennel club, there has
been no payment of prize moneys to local
owners There was, of course, a distri-

Operations in south Africa.
LONDON, April 7.-Spencer Wilkinson,
reviewing the military situation in South
Africa for the Associated Press at mid
night, says:
The position in the Free State seems
to be that the British cavarly and
mounted infantry have used up the
horses in the heavy marches from Mod
der River station to Kimberley and
from Kimberley to Bloemfontein; that
the lack of remounts, coupled with the
exhaustion Of the transport service has
compelled Lord Roberts to withhold his
advance, and that during that time the
Beers have recovered from their depres-
sion and have resumed the offensive.
The action at Karee Siding, followed
by the move of Gen. French to Sannah
Post, has no doubt given extra strain
to the mounted troops. The need of re-
mounts has become urgent. Dispatches,
however, that have been received later
indicate that a fresh supply of horses is
beginning to arrive at Cape Town.
Lord Roberts seems anxious, so far
as he can, to avoid partial movements,
and he will await quietly whatever the
enemy may do until he is again ready
for a continuous movement and deci-
sive action.
"In the meantime the Beers are maxi
ing the best of this period of inaction.
With force of 10000 or II, 600 men they
are said to be moving from Thaba Menu
and other forces have shown themselves
along the Basuto border, where Gen.
Brabants division of colonials is said to
be confronted by a strong Boer force,
near Wepener. Brabants force, how
ever, probably is able to take care Of it
self.
1.-THE surprise and destruction of a
British detachment near Reddersburg
suggest that the Boer plan may be to
break up the railway between Norvals-
pont and Bloemfontein, by means OF
which Lord Roberts secures his supplies
and achievements Such a move IL
successful, would cause Lord Roberts
some embarrassment and might draw
him into making a strong counter
stroke towards the south. 1t proves, at
least, that the Beers have now discov-
cred that their best course IS to rely
upon strong raiding parties. moving rap
idly, rather than upon a war of posi-
tons wherein they must always in time
be overborne.
But the effect OF the new Boer policy
will be merely to hasten the development
of the mounted portion of the British
force Lord Roberts IS forming, at
Bloemfontein, strong division of mount
ed troops, to be commanded by Col Ian
Hamilton. one of his best officers. AS
soon as he has a good supply of horses
Lord Roberts will be ready to reply with
interest to the annoyance the Beers are
now causing him,
1.-THE return of the Beers into the dis
triets wherein the burghers made sub
mission must have the result of increas-
Ing their enlightenment so that there is

changes in method of doing business
Henry LaClerque, the Chicago business
manager was dropped, and George N.

purpose of controlling, for it's members,
who are also stockholders, the advertis-

advertisers.
Under the new plan the business will

Mr.. Major. the famous cement man. OF New
YORK, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this STANDARD arti.
Gle know that IL is many hundred per cent
better than other cements, for which similar
claims are made, but a great many do not
know why. The simple reason is that Mr..
Major uses the best materials ever diseOv-
cred and other manufacturers 90 not use
them, because they are too expensive and do
not allow large profits. Mr. Major tells us
one OF the elements OF his cement costs 1915
pound, aud another costs $2.6j gallon,
while large share OF the sO-called Cements
and fiUld glue upon the market are nothing
more than sixteen-cent glue, dissolved in
mortar or citric acid, and. IN some cases. al

ton OF cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retalls at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents bottle, apd when a dealer
tries TO sell substitute you can depend upon
1t that his only object IS TO make larger profit,
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought TO make on any cement.
Andthis Is doubly true in view OF the fact
that each dealer gets his share OF the benefit
OF Mr.. Majors advertising. which now
amounts to over 5000 month, throughout
the country.

An Old Custom Revived.

At the Dewey dinner given last win
ter to Admiral Dewey in Brooklyn
each guest took away his plate as a
souvenir. This was not a novel idea.
DR.. Nicolas Tulp. one Of the most cele-
brated physicians of Amsterdam, in
1872 gave a grand entertainment to
his fellow burgomasters and council
lors, on the completion of the fiftieth
year Of his membership of the common
council. On that occasion each of the
guests was presented with a silver
medal struck to commemorate the
event. The festivities lasted from
noon until IL o'clock at night. Two
customs were observed on the occas-
ion, enc somewhat general. the other
rather rare. The first was that each
guest on leaving took his dessert plate
with him. on which was loaf sugar
and fruit The second was thai the
pipes and tobacco were served with
salvers Of porcelain.
