KITCHENER'S PROMOTION.
Is Made Chief of Brit
ish Forces in Africa.

New York, Nov. 26.-According to the
London correspondent of the Tribune, a
proclamation has already been printed
appointing Lord Kitchener to the cem-
mandership-in-ch of the British forces
in South Africa in succession to Lord
Roberts, but, owing to the postpone
ment of the departure of the field mar
shall for home. it has not yet been made
public. The proclamation will be is
sued Immediately after Lord Roberts
can fix a definite date for his return
It is expected that he will relinquish
the command about December 20, and
in the event of Lord Methuen not COM
ing back until the operations are fin
ished it is said that Lord Kitchener will
receive the temporary rank of general
in addition to the subStantiative one of
lieutenant general.
If a statement that the treasury OBJ
jects to a request by Lord Roberts for
10000 more troops on the ground of ex-
pense should be verified, there will be
howl of indignation from all parts of
the country. The average E1ngIishrnan
has the utmost faith in Lord Roberts,
and would prefer to have his wishes
carried out, no matter what the cost
might be.
British veterans in ornfor-ta bic cor
ners of military clubs in London consider
that the war has been over for some
time, but that truth has not been rec
ognized by Lord Roberts who continues
to issue long bulletins day after day,
which are posted in the war office and
transferred to the newspapers Some of
the most astute officers in London state
that his policy will be abandoned as soon
as General Kitchener succeeds to the
command. There will be proclamation
affirming that the Dutch territories are
completely occupied and at peace, and
there will be a suspension Of the daily
bulletins from headquarters recording
petty slxirnishes and insignificant acts
of brigandage, which can not be classed
as incidents of real warfare. Such po-
lice work as remains will pass without
observation, and the Beers themselves
will be convinced that the war is at an
end when they perceive that there is no
longer any notice taken of what goes on
there

Death of !. w. Gould,

Joseph W. Gould died of heart disease
at his home in Gouldsville Friday night,
at the age of "a years. He was the
owner of the wooden mill at Gouldsvlle
which has been in operation at that
place since 1857, when it was purchased
by his father, the late Joseph Gould, who
died in 1876. This factory was des-
troyed by fire January 81, 1873, and re-
built in June of the same year. Joseph
W. Gould was in partnership with his
father for twelve years previous to his
death, and since that time he has had
the whole responsibility of the large con,
Germ. The mill is the principal industry
of Gouldsville and his death will be
keenly felt by the people of that place.

singing by the choir, OF which we are
justly proud, there was a solo by Miss

thirteenth and fourteenth chapters of
St. Johns Gospel, grouping themselves
about the text, "Let not your heart be

evening took the form of symposium
upon the immortality OF the soul, in which

People who appreciate the value of a
reliable, enterprising, readable, and in
every way up to-date newspaper will be
glad to hear of the great growth in cir
culation and influence of the Boston
Journal. Particularly noticeable has
been the increase of it's constituency in
and around Boston, fact apparent to
every one who follows the course of
newspapers. The reason is simple-it
lies in the constant and persistent i'm
provement in the paper with the direct
purpose of pleasing the readers in the
homes, men and women of families.
The Boston Journal is putting forth in
interesting form signed statements from
news-dealers in Greater Boston and the
suburban districts which give convincing
proof of the increase of Journals sold,
and show that in large number of SUBJ
urbs its sale is second only to one other
Boston paper.

A curious instance OF telepathy has
come to light. John H. Grimm, OF Rut-
land, who few days ago had both OF
his thumbs cut off in machine at the G..
H. Grimm & Co. factory has received a
letter from sister in Cleveland, o., in
which she asks if anything has befallen
him. She had not heard from him for
some time and said she dreamed of him
one night with his hands swathed in
cloths as if they had been burned or in
jured. The date Of the letter shows that
the night which she had this dream must
have been very close to the day OF Mr..
Grimm's accident.

The Spring Openings.

Mrs. E. M. Roberts store was in gala |
array Wednesday and Thursday when
her spring opening was held. The store,
which has been recently thoroughly re-
paired was Hastily decorated with
flowers and ferns, arranged among which
were the many patterns of new spring
styles Of head-wear. A very pretty hat
made up of tuscan straw and lace with
ribbon in pastel shades is attractive in
the south window. Among others of
special.notiCe were a medium sized frame
covered with finely tucked black chiffon
with straw crown, and a bunch of
tucked pink chiffon in the center in front;
also dainty blue straw with a rolling
rim, trimmed with chiffon to match with
a tasty touch of black velvet and silver
ornament i'll the back. Another in all
black, with a full rose crown besides
many for more common use were dis
played. While much the same trimmings
are used as in previous years the delicate
shades OF ribbon and the beautiful color
ings in flowers and fruit make a most
attractive showing.
At Miss Ella Williamson's opening.
held Friday and Saturday an attractive
display of trimmed hats and bonnets
was found. Among the many pretty
patterns was one in black and white,
black chiffon and large black and white
chrysanthemums being the trimmings.
Another is a light straw with silk
olt,1aC+
of roses. Chiffon is used on nearly
every thing this spring and wreaths OF
roses underneath a rolling rim on side
and back make pretty effect. fancy
shape in black straw with folds of tuck
ed chiffon and single spray Of dainty
colored toliagels a pretty quiet style
Others have large punches OF fruit, cher
ries, grapes and currants giving bright
and soft colorings. white straw
with white chiffon and whit,
and blue chrysanthemums was among
the daintiest effects.
On Thursday and Friday Miss L.
French's windows were attractive, pat
tern hats being arranged against Ia bac
ground OF green and white. Here agai
we find the same ideas as elsewhere bu
the styles have pleasant variety wit
the same general effects. A dainty gra
hat with chiffon, flowers and lon
aigrette, all in light gray shades is yer
etft ctive. A large shape with crown
violet leaves and rim OF violets wit
chiffon of the same shade is very prett,
Here too, we find many all black, an
black and white patterns and beautif
silks in pastel shades delicate shade

hues. Many of the hats have decided
heavy look. but the chiffon trimmin,
cannot have that feature and TIL
springs millinery proves deceitful
that respect. Becoming styles in DO
nets are also found and some jaun
childrens hats.
