JAMESON'S RAID.
An Effective Manner in Which it Was
Met by the Beers.

The trouble which England is now
having with the beers is not the first
| in her history with the Transvaal in
| recent years. The most noted open
rupture occurred in the famous Jane
sons raid of four years ago. In the
story of the dash of jameson and his
men into the Transvaal there is no
lack of stirring incident First, how
ever, it will be necessary to in
| dictate the reasons which were al
legged for this unprecedented attack
upon then friendly state The Eng
| lish population of the Transvaal out
numbers the Dutch almost two to one
But the uitlanders, as all foreigners
are called, though they own nearly all
the gold and diamond mines in the
country and are the heaviest taxed
have no voice whatever in the govern
ment. A bloody collision between the
races had been threatening for years.
but on the 29th of December, 1895. the
Chartered company's police and the
Rhodesia horse, TO the number of 800
headed by DR.. Jameson and Sir John
Willoughby, decided to invade the
rransvaal, enter johannesburg and
force matters to a crisis.
On Monday morning, December 30
these 800 troopers, with as many more
Kaffirs. crossed the border from Pisani
to Ottershoop. a distance of thirty
miles. They were armed with maya
zine rifles, and had three field pieces.
At Ottershoop they cut the telegraph
wires to prevent news of their coming
from reaching the beers, and then gal
Hoped out of town across the bleak and
barren veldt. 1t was between 4 and
O'Clock in the afternoon on Wednesday
when they reached the vicinity of
kruegersdorp where they found the
beers awaiting them in force. Fight
ing continued until dusk. Jameson
and his men had worked around the
town to the right, having abandoned
an attempt to force a direct passage.
and it was here that they charged the
beers and We're driven back DOM the
hillside unable to withstand their
deadly fire. With the coming of dawn
the boer fire grew hotter, and the fight
ended at 1880. The first signal of sur
render was made with torn shirt, tied
to the muzzle of rife, but the beers
did not cease firing until another white
flag was hoisted. Then the beers raised
similar ensign and three of them
rode down the hill to what was left of
JamesOn's band. They brought a de-
mand for unconditional surrender.
which Jameson refused, asking for
safe conduct of his whole force across
the border. The beers replied that
this was impossible, but they promised
to spare the lives of the officers and
men.
jameson replied that he cared little
for his own life, but only for the safety
of those under his command. Then the
unwounded freebooters were put under
guard, the wounded gathered up an
cared for, and eaptors and captives
marched away over the bleak, stone
dotted veldt, and Jameson's raid was
over.

You may not yourself have had occasion to become familiar with the makeup Of paints, and were you to seek information on this sub feet you would find very few who would claim that pure white lead in oil was the best. You would find some who would claim that white road corporation. however. who has some 40 chemists in their employ, directly and h. directly, claims that, tor paint to last. it is necessery that theF white lead and zinc be mixed with an inert body. Now there Is noth =
 ing so inert as silex It is this mixture ot silex with white lead. zinc and pure linseed oil that makes Breinig's Lithogen Silieate Paint so durable
 We have 8 case before us where this paint was put to more severe test than we would think it possible for any paint to sand. We quote from @ letter received from Victor Preisler, proprietor of the Hotel Premier Turkish and Russian Baths, Lexington Ave nue and Seventy Second Street, New York City:
 ! "Atter many attempts to find paint which would not peel, the place being very severe one on paint namely, the steam room Of my Turkish and Russian Bath tabliehment- the upper part of the room above the marble slabs and also the ceiling is plastered, and therefore must necessarily be painted, but all E painting was in vain, as it peeled in 8 very \ few days through 8 patron of mine who had ! been using your Breinigs Lithogen Silicate \ Paint. tried it, and the result has been to \ me astonishing. Sixteen hours ot hot steam ing daily has had absolutely no impression on ! the paint. In not single place has it peeled E or discolored. And this test, being perhaps B as severe a one as your paint is being put to,
 \ it affords me great pleasure to give this testi- E mony to it's worth. Should any one wish to convince himself of this result. will show
 him with pleasure" "

"Well," replied the genial banker with twinkle in his eye, "since you have asked me so abruptly, rather object to tell you, as perhaps may have my eye on some widow or old maid with reference to matrimony." The lady who accompanied the farmer looked with as- tonishment over her spectacles at MT Mygatt, while the farmer joined the bank CT in hearty laugh. MT Mygstt paid friendly call at THE BEE office on Wednesday,.
