One of the higher courts in France
has just rendered a decision which is
of interest in that it gives the French
IDEA of justice in a case with which
Americans are familiar, A woman
whose husband lost his life on the i'll
fated French steamer Bourgogne sued
the company owning the vessel and re-
covered 100000 francs damages. The
case was appealed, and the upper court
decided there was no ground for DAM
ages. The basis for the decision was
stated to be the fact that the COM
mander of the steamer conducted him
self with bravery and went down with
his craft, it being held that this fact
absolved the company from blame
When one recalls the shocking brutal
ity and despicable cowardice of the
crew Of the Bourgogne, who did not
spare even the women in their fero-
cious attempts to save themselves, this
remarkable decision holding the steam
ship company blameless will strike the
average person as Il most palpablc case
of the miscarriage of justice.

The report of the South Carolina
dispensary liquor bureau for the year
1899 shows that the total net profits of
the system were $414,1Sl. In contrast
with the South Carolina dispensary
system is the New York license system,
which during the past year returned a
net profit of $12,5s2,24S. New York's
population is nearly six times larger
than South Cardinals, but it's receipts
from it's liquor traffic are about 80
times greater.

in the fighting there and Peters Hill,
Hlwange, Bulwana and other Boer
strategic points. The fourth advance
Of the British has probably cost near
1000 men in killed, wounded and cap
tured, il the proportion of the losses
in the first battles was kept up.
Gen. Butler first attempted to fight
his way TO Ladysmith from Colenso, the
direct and main road. There he met
his first and most crushing defeat. He
was beaten back by the Beers and he
lost about 200 men aud eleven guns
captured by the Beers.
His next effort to reach tho besieged
city was via Spoin kop, a strategic hill
some distance to the northwest from
his camp at Frere. Here he was again
repulsed, his army being defeated az
ter q hard battle lasting two days.
His forces suffered the loss Of about
700 men in killed wounded and captur-
ed. He retreated south of the Tugela
river, and after refreshing his troops
a few days be again began an advance,
sending his troops across the river aud
capturing Vaal Krantz, a small kopje,
which he was compelled to abandon at
once because of the terrible enflading
fire on his troops. This defeat was
a costly one and General Butler then
retreated to his original camp at Frere
nd Ohievely, where he received re-
Inducements and rested more than
week.
A week ago he again began an ad-
vance, taking up the first plan of cam
paign and gradually fought his way to
the garrison via COlenso and Railway
and Pieters hill. The Beers lessened
their grip on Ladysmith when the
news reached them of the desperate
straits Of General Cronje, and a large
part Of General Joubert's forces were
sent to the Orange Free state to help
Cronie, but they never reached him.
The siege of Ladysmitb, lasting
four months, is one of the most re-
markable in recent wars. The town
suffered from want of food and necessi-
ties Of life. Fevers ragged and the
death rate was appalling among the
citizens of the city and the soldiers
under General White. The people
have been eating horse flesh for weeks
and their water supply, the Klipt
river, has been polluted.
The gallant defense made by Gen.
eral White is second only in intense
interest to the desperate fight made by
Cronje's 1000 men, surrounded by
$4,000 British, who poured shot and
shell and awful lyddite into their
camp nine days before they gave up,

east of Pardeberg, faces the reformed
Boer army, from five to six thousand
strong. This may be merely a corps

pared positions.
Lord Roberts has surprised observ-
ers by the excellence of his transport
during the first advance and he is
likely to do SO again, although mill
tary men think he must wait for some
days before going much farther. The
Beers, presumably, will use this delay
for all it is worth, pulling their re-
sources together.

iocked to greet them. The contrast
between the robust troops Of dozen
battles and the pale, emaciated defend
ers Of Ladysmith was great.
General White and his staff met
the troops in the center Of the town.
He was cheered with heartfelt enthu-
siasm. He addressed the civilians and
thanked them and the garrison for
their magnificent support, which we
alone can realize.

troops, 1000 civilians and 1000 ma
tives. Between casualties and sick
ness 5000 soldiers passed through the

emphasize the privatlons OF the sick.
Since the middle of January q man
