AS far as Mrs. Drake cheating or
signaling is concerned, you are very
much mistaken. That's all there is
that sort going on / think l should
have noticed it,"
II didn't know you were watching her
so constantly as all that. Perhaps if
you had paid little less attention to
her and little more to the game we
might have made a better showing"
II didn't trump your trick, at all
events"
mo, that was just the one thing that
you didn't do. l think that's great
deal to boast of for man who prides
himself on his whist playing, as you
do, / used to think that you liked to
play with me for a partner, but don't
suppose anything short of Mrs. Drake
would satisfy you now"
"Mary, why in-in the name of ev-
erything unreasonable and senseless
are you harping on Mrs. Drake in this
way? What has the woman ever done
to you, I'd like to know?" -
Don't you like to talk about her? |

II don't like to hear anybody talked
about in that way"
"Very we'll; I'll try and do better. I
think she is just charming. So quiet
and refined in her manner and so witty.

woman use slang IN the way she does
and so few of us have the accomplish

Il suppose you mean to be sarcastic.
If an angel told you that Mrs. Drake
had any imperfections l don't suppose
you would believe it,"
AN angel would probably have some
thing better to do than to go trapesing

try and the central money markets of
the world-a state of things which 1
believe we shall be able to see realized
more and more fully as years go on.
$50 far as our trade with gold
standard countries is concerned our
adoption of the gold standard which
made us use the same standard of
value as those countries, has proved
to be source of great benefit.

prospects INDUCED in by some critics,

tain events occurring in the interior
OF China, our greatest customer
among. the silver ountries-events
such as national calamities and dis
turbances which have greatly him
dered the commercial activity of that
country.
'Since our coinage reform enabled
us to avoid all the evil effects of fuctu-
atoms in the price of silver, we stand
now no longer, as formerly was the
case. under the necessity of making
plans for financial matters with the
currency constantly changing in value
and sometimes suffering unexpected
losses and evils in times when those
fluctuations are unusually violent All
those fears of miscalculation and
losses have now become things of the
past.
"Most particularly in the last few
years, when national expenditures for
things bought abroad, such as war
ships, ETC., greatly increased in
amount, we have doubtless been able
to avoid, on account of our coinage re-
form, great losses on the part of the
national treasury.
Besides, since our adoption of the
gold standard, our government bonds
have been sold in no small amount in
the European market, so that their
nsmes appear regularly in the price
hist of the London stock exchange.
This fact at once converted our bonds
into an international commodity, and
will no doubt lead to a closer rela-
tionship between our home and the
foreign money markets."-Chicago

The surrender of Gen. Cronje caused no
surprise. 1t had been expected for several
days The wonder is that he was able to
hold out so long. He was hemmed in on
all sides and the force of the British was
about six times as great as his. He made
splendid defense II was so plucky and
so well managed that it commanded the
admiration of his opponents. He has been
called Lion-Hearted Cronje. He well de-
serves the name.
He was the victim of a very fine bit of
scientific warfare. Gen. Roberts got him
into trap. 1t was a trap from which
there was no escape. The British have
fallen into a number of Boer traps, but
no one was as disastrous 10 them as this
trap that Cen Roberts set for Cen
Cronje was to the Beers. 1t was ex-
pected that the number of prisoners would
be larger The number surrendered was
only about 5000. Many had been
killed and some had escaped, but
Gen. Cronjes whole force. VIII
he began his retreat. could not
have been nearly as large as has been
reported. The capture of Gen. Cronje 5
army is the first substantial victory the
British have won They had been sue
cessful in two or three minor affairs but
they had accomplished nothing that
brought flood of joy to the British peo-
pie. This victory justihes the rejoicing
that is taking place in London, and, in
fact, throughout England. BY this it is
not meant that the British had not shown
splendid qualities as soldiers in other en-
gagements They have done all that could
have been expected of them from the be-
ginning, and the English people have rea-
son to be proud of them. The wiping out
OF one OF the Boer armies, however, means
substantial progress toward bringing the
war 20 end.
But the Beers are not yet ready to give
up. They are not conquered by any
means, but the force which Gen. Roberts
has at his command and the resources of
the British are so great that it would
not be surprising Is they should soon be-
gin to think that their struggle was a
hopeless one. The number of the Boecs
is not large and their resources are lin
tied. 1t is true of course that they are
fighting on their own soil and know the
country thoroughly. To that extent they
have che advantage, but it is not an ad-
ventage that offsets the immense re
sources of Great Britain.
There will be a great deal more fight
ing before the British reach the capital
of the Beers, but unless there is inter
vention by some one or more of the Tow
ers and stop put. to the war they will
probably get there. If they do, and es-
tablish their authority in the Transvaal,
the Beers will be given credit for having
made one of the bravest fights in the an,
nails OF war.

retired and peaceful seat in the rear of

into prominence in a peculiar way. Foy

1t has not been so very long since the
formation of new trust in some part of
the country was an almost daily OCCUR
renee. Now the announcement in the
newspapers of the formation of a new
trust is very seldom made. The reason
is that very few trusts are being formed
Instead of announcements of new trusts
there are announcements of receivers be-
ing appointed for those that have got into
trouble.
In abe Morning News yesterday there
were dispatches obtaining the informa-
ton that an application had been made
for a receiver for the millers' trust and
also for a plate glass trust. 1t would not
be surprising if from this time on. until
the number of trusts was considerably re-
duced, there should be more announce
ments of application of receivers for trusts
than of the formation of new trusts.
Most Of the trusts are now just about
able TO meet their fixed charges, notwith-
standing the very high prices of trust
products. The capitalization of a trust is
so much greater as a rule. than the value
of its plant. that enormous prices are
necessary to enable it to pay dividends.
II therefore trusts are just able to make
fair dividends in times like the present
what will their financial condition be when
prices decline?
1t is about as certain as anything can
be that prices viii go down. When, or
how far they will fall it is impossible to
predict with any degree of certainty, but
they will fall, and then there will be great
trouble among trusts. OF course no one
anticipates disasters in the business world
with pleasure, but ii is doubtful If there
would be a great deal of sympathy with
the trust magnates.
1t is probable that there are some trusts
that are SO strong that they could stand
a long period Of hard times but the most
of them were organized with the view of
unloading shares on a gullibe public They
were hardly expected to live beyond the
period Of high prices.

DEATH OF MIR. GUcKENHEruER

The career of Mr.. Simon Guckenheimer,
whose death we chronicle with regret this
morning, was one Illustrating how integ-
rity, intelligence and pertinacity win vic
tories over difficulties. Beginning his ca
reer in this country a youth, with only
few dollars, but with good health and a
good head as his capital. he succeeded
well within the proverbial limit of a life
time in bridging the long space between
poverty and wealth This he was enabled
to do by following those rules of correct
department in personal affairs and in bus
mess that attract friends and inspire con-
fidence. For years Mr.. Guckenheimer has
been known as one of the sturdest bust
ness men of Savannah. He has taken an
interest in movements for the advance
ment of the community, and by his own
efforts has done much to give the city the
standing it enjoys as a great mart Of
trade. The death of such a citizen is a
distinct loss.

was violent and virulent opposition to the
plan, not only on account of the loOseness
of Jhe Princes mode of living and the
general laXity of his morals, but ALSO be-
cause of his stand on what was then
known as the wheat laws. Edmund Burke,
who was in the fulness of his power, was
supposedly opposed TO the Princes ambi-
ton, and the future King in consequence
was paying assiduOus court to the great
statesman. Burke al this time was a
man of rigid department and of great
austerity of manner One night the Prince
gave dinner at which Burke sat on his
