stunned the smelling of Bulwana. About o'clock terrific thunderstorm broke over the town just after a message had been heliographed from Wagon Hill that the Boers were in full retreat.
 Other officers said they believed they could descry the British cavalry, but most people supposed the wish was father to the thought.
 As soon as the storm ceased the British guns reopened on Bulwana, gradually con- centratlng the fire on the left and driving the Boers before them with the object of preventing the enemy from hampering any British approach.
 An hour later a party of British horsemen could be seen crossing the flat, below Bull wana, at a distance of some miles. It Is impossible to describe the excitement and enthusiasm among the troops that followed. Most of the townspeople had been driven into the houses by the storm and did not learn the good news until later. The storm broke out again at o'clock in the even ing and continued until o'clock the next morning. It must have seriously hampered the retreating Boers. The British gunners kept a sharp watch to prevent any further attempt to remove the Bulwana gun.
 The British naval gun was fired at inter- vals through the night and in the morning force was sent out to look after the gun and to occupy Bulwana.
 Lord Dundonald's force went after the re- treating Boers, while four thousand of the best men of the garrison went toward Elandslaagte in the hope of being able to cut off the enemy.

COL. H. \. GARRETT
 DIED YESTERDAY One of Alabama's Most Distin- guished Lawyers Passes
 Away at Dadeville.

Dadeville, March -(Special.)-Colonel Henry A. Garrett, one of Alabamas most distinguished lawyers, died at his home in this city today at 12 o'clock. Colonel Gar rett was 70 years old at the time of his death, and had been in remarkably good health up to a few months ago, when he received slight stroke of paralysis. He partly recovered from this attack, but for ten days has been suffering with a bladder trouble.
 Colonel Garrett was well known to the judges of Alabama, and was regarded by them as an authority on many legal ques- tions. He was a member of the firm of Garrett & Lackey at this place, and was retained as counsel for the Central of Georgia Railway company. He was nomi- mated by the democratic party as dele gate to the constitutional convention, and would have undoubtedly been elected had the law not been repealed.
 He leaves wife and family.

INDICATIONS OF
 A PAGAN SPIRIT
Father Vahey Severely Criticises Such Plays as "Sapho"
 and The Degenerates."

Cleveland, O., March 4-Rev. George Vahey, pastor of St. Johns cathedral in the course of Lenten sermon in that church this morning said that plays of ''Sapho," '"The Degenerates' and others of a similar character are indicative of pagan spirit throughout the country. He said that the ultimate effect of such plays is to increase immortality and to destroy virtue and in- nocence.
 Father Vahey said that inasmuch as the immigration laws bar the physical leper to the United States, they should be framed so as to bar the actress from abroad who comes to this country with immoral plays, the effect of which is to spread spiritual ieprosy. He urged his people to remain from the theater during the performance of questionable plays.

To the Teachers, School Officers. and
Friends of Education in North
eastern Iowa.
The time for the Northeastern Iowa
Teachers Association has been fixed by
the executive committee upon October
10, 10 and 20, at Clinton. We join
heartily with the executive committee
in requesting the cooperation of school
officers, teachers, and others in that part
of the state to make this meeting the
greatest possible success. The program
now nearly completed is unusually
strong. OF those outside of the state
the committee has secured Vincent,
Hubbard, Mrs. Gaynor, and probably
Sparks. Presidents MacLean, Beard
shear and Seerley, and other prominent
educators of the state will give adj
dresses. The entire meeting promises
to be of the highest order, and we urge
that boards of directors allow their
teachers to attend without loss of
salary for the day the school is closed.
The meetings are intended for school
officers as we'll as teachers, and since
better schools depend upon better un.
derstanding among the educational
forces, we wish many would attend.

America at the PARIS Exposition.

America at the Paris Exposition.
Paris, Sept. Is.
Eds. Democrat: America has conquer
ed Europe! This may strike Imperial
lists as broad statement, but the con
quest has been made without acquisi-
ton of territory, and belongs to the
purely industrial, artistic and CONNER
cial order of things.
In short time it will be shown by q
tatistical.analyses the exact proportion
of prizes, honours and rewards of all
kinds which America has secured at
the paris Exposition as compared with
those obtained by her rivals and neigh
bours among the other countries Of the
would.
The great fact which remains to be
handed down to posterity, as brilliant
trophy of victory, after this Exposition
of 1900 is over, is that America has, once
and for all, assumed her place as leader
of human progress in every branch of
life. In the highest of all, which is
that of intellect, the United States has
asserted universal supremacy.

and so many were employed there, for
we saw great many people but what
they could find to do is more than can
tell, as the machinery did all the work.
OF course you that have visited this
city, land most of you have, must have
noticed the capacity of some Of those
large store buildings, for instance, the
Fair store, claiming to be the largest
mercantile establishment in the world.
1t is q veritable hive of industry and
is SO conveniently arranged, three thous-
and, FIVE hundred clerks and employees
are required to run the establishment,
and It's said that 10000 people on an
average visit this store daily. These
are wonderful truths, if truths at all,
and l had my information from a guide
that ought to be good authority. This
! fair store has frontage on Adams
street of $50 feet and 1870 feet on State
and Dearborn streets, and is nine stories
high above the basement, and thirteen
passenger elevators are used in convey
ing patrons from one floor to another,
and the total floor space in the entire
store is fifteen and one.half acres.
Then there is the Auditorium build
ing, on Michigan Avenue, and the new
postoflice, when completed, will be the
grandest and most imposing building in
Chicago, the chief beauty of which will
be its granite dome rising to the height
of 200 feet above the street, costing the
| sum of four million dollars. This struc-
ture occupies an entire block as do
many others in the city, but as l say, it
is impossible to mention more than 9
few of the largest and finest buildings

these things noted with interest while
there, and while do not think I would
like to reside in Chicago, it would take

saw no intoxicated persons on the

but street discipline was fine, which

it from the ills that flesh is heir to, ant

A services of special meetings have
been held by the Y. N. G. A. with very
encouraging results. The way the
young men of the college take to the
religious work is very commendable,
and fact which is more noticeable
here than in many other similar insti-
tutlons. We believe that IL is q char
acteristic which marks the Institution,
where 1t is found, as Christian. Young
men are apt to slight the means Of
spiritual development when other
things are more attractive, but when
they do defend the religious standard,
the character of the school is safe. At
Lenox the development Of the better
