The late duke of Westminster, like
n great many other men of enormous
wealth. was penurious. II is said that
the S5.ooo,ooo which he gave his daueh-
ter as a dowry was the only really
liberal performance of his lifetime,
and that he did this in order that he
might be allied to royalty. He spent
good deal Of money on his racing
stable. too, but he was always anxious
to get his money back on the turf. The
most famous horse he ever owned was
Ormonde, but he was even tempted
to sell that famous racer when q good
price was offered.

AN oIs Ttme Eneli.h Election.

The only contest which occurred at
Cation within historic memory was
curious enough. Sir Mark Wood, who
had been one of its members for sever
al years, had as his colleague in the
parliament of 1912 Sir William Con-
greve, the inventor of the famous Con
greve rocket" The latter resigned in
1916, and the baronet wished his own
son to fill the vacancy.
There were only three voters In the
constituency. Sir Mark, his son and his
butter. named Jennings, but as the son
was away and the butler had Quarreled
with his master an opportunity was af-
forded for a singular revenge. Jen'
nings refused to second Sir Marks
nomination of his son and proposed
himself, and a deadlock was ayerted
only by Sir Mark coming to terms with
the refractory butler, whose nomina
ton he seconded in order to induce hin
to act as seconder to his son.
Matters being thus put formally ir
train, Sir Mark arranged with Jen
nings that the formers vote should bt
alone given, and the final state of the
poll at Cations only known contes

Beers can not continue the strug-
gle without obtaining food, horses,
arms and recruits, rigorous poll
cies are advocated by which they
may be virtually isolated, starved
out and run to earth.
One of the military journals
suggests that every fresh recruit
from Natal and Cape Colony
caught with arms in his hands
should be tried by court martial
and shot. Other suggestions ara
that every enemy found in Brit
ish Uniform, or making foul use of
the white flag or red cross. should
be hanged.
1t is also urged that the districts
must be swept of any cattle.
horses and sheep; that farmhonses
must be burned and seditious pop
ulation exterminated, so that
raiders will be unable to carry on
their war. Gen. Kitchener is ex-
pected to do all these things, since
mild measures have been tried
without effect.
The Beers on their side are re
verting> to real campaigning, and
are abandoning train wrecking and
maurading operations, so that the
application of stern measures by
Gen. Kitchener will seem less JUS
tifable. The last stage of the war
is deplorable from every point Of
view. and the campaign, as a
whole, is a sorry sequel to the
peace congress at The Hague.

London, Nov. 12.-Fresh de-
tails Of the engagements in the
Transvaal show that the Beers are
fighting with remarkable courage
and energy. DeWet's battle with
LIE Calais and Delisle was most
stubbornly contested. and the guns
abandoned only after display of
desperate valor. Smith h-Dorrien's
fighting with Beers near Belfast
lasted forty eight hours, and his
rear guard was only saved by7a
brilliant defense. conducted by the
Canadian Dragons, whose gallan-
try Wed with the valor displayed
by the Canadian contingent at
Paardeberg, The Beers were
heavily reinforced in these opera
tions, and not only hung persis-
tently upon the rear and flank of
the British column, but even
charged on their horses in front at
close quarters. This may be the
courage of despair, but it com
mands respect.
The Beers are losing men day
by day, but now that they are
broken up into small bands with
out artillery or transport. they
have marked facilities for carrying
on guerrilla warfare, and are per-
sistent in keeping up a hopeless
struggle. While they carry little
food with them. every farm is q
storehouse for them, where they
can obtain supplies and fresf
horses.
