PREACHERS, SORE THROAT.
Pulpit Speakers Are Not the Only
Sufferers From II.

fuiptt speakers are Not the Onty
Sufferers From II.
"The late Colonel Ingersoll frequently
gained applause during his lectures by
referring to the fact that there was such
q thing recognized in the standard med
ical books as preachers sore throat but
that no one had ever heard of an auc-
tioneer's sore throat" observed a popu-
lar voice builder to reporter, "and
while Colonel lngcrsoll probably was
entitled TO the point. he wanted to illus
trate he was somewhat off when he in
sisted on the point,
"'Preachers' sore throat is recognized
by all writers on throat diseases, but it
is not necessarily confined TO preachers
Lawyers-I mean court advocates-and
others who overtax their voice at times
suffer from it as frequently as do preach
ers. One of the answers to Colonel In
gcrsoll would be that the books did not
include singers sore throat either.
THE fact OF the matter is that auc-
tioneers do not have sore throat \ sue
cessful auctioneer, as far us his voice is
concerned, Is provided naturally with
abnormally strong vocal chords. These
he strengthens by continual use, so that
in few years the voice and throat are
the strongest parts of him. lie is as lia-
BILE. however, as others to suffer from
other troubles and has his share of them
too, 1t Is the same way with a singer.
His voice is generally the strongest part
OF him, and almost every other organ
suffers before his throat does. The public
does not know how many there are who
try auctioncering and who find that they
cannot hold out. The voice of every
man is not suited for continuous work.
Auctioncer work means several hours of
constant vocal exercise each day.
"The reason the preachers throat goes
back ON him now and then. and il does,
is that his use of the vocal chords is not
constant, for ordinarily the greater ef-
fort is seldom more than once a week.
Another thing that operates against the
preachers and in favor Of the auctionccr
Is that the preacher seldom speaks in
the open air, while the auctioneer finds
the most use for his voice in the open
air. Open air is the most wonderful
strengthener of the voice. A marked cx-
ample OF this is the fact that circus per-
formers and circus followers generally,
who work in tents and open air, never
have sore throats. Washington Star.

CORRESPONDENCE of the Alexandria Gazette.
Washington. February IL
E. w. Peeler, president OF the First
National Bank, of Kalispel, Mont,
testified in the Clark bribery investigs-
tiou this morning. He was called by
the defense to corroborste the testi-
mony of State Senator A. Il. Geiger
who had accounted for having in his
possession several thousand dollars az.
Ter the adjournment OF the legislature
by testifying that he had borrowed 81
300 from the witnesses bank. The wit
ness volunteered to state that Geiger's
testimony was all right but when ques
toned as to the actual transaction 1T
was unable to tell when the loan was
made and could not explain why 1t was
made during the summer of 1899 and
no security was taken until January s
of the present year. He was question
ed by several members OF the commit
tea but could remember nothing. Mr..
Chandler became impatient and re-
marked that be believed the witness
was irving to cover up something. Mr..
Burrows asked the witness TO explain
why a deed to certain property taken
as security for this loan was not given
until after the commencement of the
Clark investi cation. The witness said
he could not tell but remarked that he
hoped the Senator would not think he
was living. II hope you DO not think
you are lying" replied Senator Bur-
rows.

train last night and left here this morn

London War Gossip.

London, FEB. 12--Unusual activity
on the Boer side is reported at ali
points where they oppose the British.
General Joubert, it is stated, is march
ing with six thousand men to outhank
General Butler and q Boer force has
crossed the Tugela to the east OF Co.
lenso aud have taken up position Oh
the south bank few miles from Chiev-
eley. News from the western seat of
war, at Modder river, indicates that
the next big battle will occur there.
The arrival of General Roberts at Mod
der river camp, when he was supposed
to have gone to COlesberg, is q strong
indication that his plan is to inaugu
rate the campaign of invasion of the
Free State from the west and the dan
ger now threatening Kimberley is ar
gument that Roberts will strike soon.
Should he defeat the Beers north OF the
Modder river, be would be able to re-
lieve Kimberley and at the same time
find himself almost with free hand
for the march to BloemfonteiD. The
present ggressiveness of the Beers in
dicates that they are acquainted with
the British plan for q concerted sd-
vance and are adopting the sbrewd
tactics OF engaging the British forces

II is believed in London that Butler
must now look out for himself and
leave the Ladysmith garrison to it,
fate. In January Ladysmith was re.
duced to a horsehsh diet and it is not
believed to be capable of holding out
much longer.
The Beers have also assumed the az
gressive by attacking Rensburg. in
northern Cape Colony, the main pUsi-
ton occupied by the British troops that
have been threatening Colesberg, A dis
patch receiv d in London yesterday
stated that the Beers were Smelling the
British camp on Saturday, "but with
little efecJ." The Beers have also a.
tempted to turn both TANKS of the Brit
ism at Rensburg, and are threatening
the British rear, from which direction
the supplies come from Capetown. As
far as known the British have main
tanned their position.
The Beers have occupied farm south
of the Tugela river, the hills of which
command both bridges over the Tugela
and views Of Bulwana aud Ladysmitb.
The latest explanation of Gen. Bull
ler's third retirement across the Tugela
is that an observer in balloon discov-
cred that the Beers had dozen heavy
guns carefully concealed and command
ing the road Butler would have to take
70 reach Lsdysmitb.
General Roberts has arrived at Mod
der river. 1t is there that General Me-
thuen, seeking to advance to the relief
of Kimberley, had been held by Gen
eral CroDje, The Boer commander, since
December II.
The arrival of Lord Roberts at Mod
der river, it is believed, means that the
next big move by the British will be to
the relief of Kimberley.
Heavy guns-some from Mafeking
and some from Observation-Disclosures re.
ported to have been concentrated by
the Beers near Kimberley. They have
also advanced their trenches at the
diamond city, which may soon be call
ed upon to face determined attack in
force.
The Beers, it is reported, are still in
full possession of their lines OF commu-
nication between Cape Colony and the
Free State and hold strong positions
around Colesberg.
The news of General Buffers re-
verses has caused excitement in Sgd
ney, N. S. W., and Cardinal Moran
thinks it may soon become necessary to
defend Australia.

THE ELECTION LAW.

The House committee on privileges
and elections has reported four bills
amending the State election laws but
they have all been recommitted. The
first one provides for the appointment
Of as many special officers as the elec'
toral boards may deem proper, the ap-
pointment to be made by the Judges
OF the county court" upon the recon-
mendation of the board, said special
officers to attend "the election at the
precincts for which they are appointed
and preserve order" The law, as it
now stands, clothes the judges of cleo.
ton with authority to preserve order,
but the mandates of such judges are
to be executed by the officers of the law
having power to make arrests.
The second vacates on the first day
of May next the terms OF Office of sll
registrars, and provides for annual, in
stead of biennial appointments.
This bill also amends section Il OF the
code relating to new registrations, 30
that only 80 instead of 60 days notice
of the same shall be required. Only
three days are allowed for such regis
tration, instead of five, as at present.
The third provides for the election OF
new electoral boards by the present leg
islature. Under the existing law these
boards would hold on until the next
regular session.
The fourth provides for the appoint.
ment by the electoral board OF the
"ticket.msrkers," the appointment to
be kept ecret until after the polls are
opened. Under the present law the az
pointments are made by majority OF
the judges of election at the time OF the
opening OF the polls.
