MARCH
A Picturesque Night Scene

BRITISH SOLDIERS
Rush To The Deserted Camp
And Appropriate Every
thing In Sight In
cIuding Umbrellas

PAARDEBURG, March 6-(Delayed)
All the prisoners of the Cronje
forces were paraded here. They
extended in long trailing line like
serpent across the plain, and as far as
possible were arranged in commandos.
The Free Staters were kept separate
from the Trausvaalers.
The look upon the faces of the men
as they passed, made it impossible to
arrive at any other conclusion than
that they were all overjoyed at their
release from the daily hell of shell and
| shot which they had been experience
ing lately. Many did not even take
the trouble to conceal their delight
from the soldiers guarding them. They
chatted freely with the British, discus-
ging different battles in which they
had fought. All the prisoners have in
tense admiration for the bravery and
pluck of the Highlanders, and they
freely confess that they are incapable
of the dash and go and pluck of the
British.

Huge wagons crowded the narrow
road, there WAS an utter lack of order
aud desertions were numerous. The

commisssriat. The Boer rations con-
sisted of one and half pounds of fresh
meat daily, and one and half pounds
of coffee, three pounds of sugar and
five pounds of -four per man weekly.
Every man who was off duty visited
the Boer laager and crowds of curious
TOmmies spent the day in searching
every nook and corner. What might
prove useful to the army bad been
secured and the soldiers were allowed
to take whatever they liked. The
men carried off clothing, letters, cups
and even um mbrellas.

And Set The Pace For
Coming Gener-
atiOnS


Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
LAKE VALLEY, N. NJ. March s.
The brightest affair of the kind. that
ever occurred in Lake Valley, was the
wedding on Saturday last of Edward
Patton and Mics Lucie Cox. The con-
tracing parties being so widely ac-
quainted and well liked by the people in
the town and surrounding country. and
it being announced that they would be
married in public-and that q grand
ball would be given, an unusually large
the event and sparticipate in the
festivities.
The ceremony was performed at $50
p. m. in the o. E. hall which was
charmingly decorated with palms and
flowers. The hall was filed to it's ut
most standing room capacity. AS the
bridal party marched up the sisle, the
organ gave forth the sweet strains of
the bridal march from the opera
Lohengrin. The ceremony was per-
formed by Judge VIM. P. Keil.
After congratulations of guests
formed in couples and marched to
Morgan's hall where the bride and
groom led in the grand march which
opened the hall, and a most enjoyable
time was had. 1t was noticeable that
the COW boys have abandoned the
habit of coming to dances with high
heeled boots and spurs On and trying
at every step to drive the heels of
their boots through the floor when
dancing, but now wear pumps and it
the world smoother and more graceful
dancers that those who attend such
affairs here now.
Surely the bright aad pretty faces,
neat and becoming attire and lady like
manners of all the young ladiessre
enough to stimulate the young men
to vie in the most refined and gentle
manly conduct at all of our pu bile
gatherings.

ut is my opinion that an army of
not less that 100000 men, and per-

to use his discretion in determining

Scribner's Magazine. This rail-
way is the commercial and political
key to the Far East and Mr.. Nor
man travelled its entire length SO
far as completed, to Lake Baikal
and beyond. He describes the
wonderful industrial possibilities of
the country through which he
passed and gives an entirely new
idea of Siberia. Instead of a des-
ert it promises TO be the leading
wheat-producing country of the
world, and the railway opens up
immense mineral possibilities. Mr.
Norman says that since the great
wall of China the world has seen no
one material undertaking of equal
magnitude. The cost of this rail-
way will be about S5O0,O00,O0O, and
