Beers crossing over the border, and if the
advance were strong enough and immedi-
ately consequent, might threaten j ohannes-
burg and Pretoria. Two such victories in
quick succession would influence, probably,
an arrangement of the Boer forces at Mafe-
king southeasterward along the line of the
Eaal River, north of which a main road
runs to Johannesburg. Just what men the
Beers have at the Transyaal Capital is not
known. The Beers in front of Methuen

disloyal British subjects. Pitchers force
was composed of 100 Toronto men and 200
Queenslanders, mounted, two guns, and a
horse battery, 40 mounted infantry, and
200 Cornwall Light Infanty. The British
almost invested the laager, and captured
it with 40 prisoners. The British casual
ties were two men killed, three wounded

Beers made precipitate retreat. Pitcher
occupied Douglass and was received with
enthusiasm by the loyalists.

When n rIan's Married.

Hoyt's Comedy Co. in their
third performance last night were
seen in that charming little COM
edy, Because She Loved Him.
1t proved to be the most sparkling.
entertaining little satire on married
life ever seen here. There was q
continuous uproar of laughter from
rise to fall of the curtain. The
one remarkable thing about the
play is that it is so natural, so sim
pie and lifelike. 1t tells the story
of a young couple who are very
much married." and spend their
days in jeS1ousies and chickering's.
The father-in law and mother-in-
law of this worthy couple in order
to show them the errors of their
ways concluded to scrap and
show the young people how ludi-
crous their conduct was. They get
into a real fight themselves and
the situations resulting therefrom
are excruciatingly funny.
Touight "A Texas Steer" will
be the play. This is Hoyt's mas
terpiece, the play that has made
all America laugh. The fine
strength of the company will be
seen in this famous play; eighteen
PEOPLE, new and up.to- date spec
ialties will be in order between the
