LORD ROBERTS HEARD FROM
He Says Nethuen Routed Beers Under
Dewst,
Two Guns Captured from the Trans
Vaalera Johannesburg
IL Quiet

London, June 2O.-Lord Roberts this
afternoon reported that General Hunter
had occupied Krugersdorp (west Of
johannesburg without opposition. and
that Gen. Methuen June 10 routed a
Boer force which was opposing his en-
try into Heilborn and the Orange River
colony.
The silence Of Lord Roberts since
June l6 had disposed some quarters TO
believe that his line Of communication
had again been cut especially as Accord
ing to advices from the Orange River
colony. the Beers were known to be still
lowering about the railroad north OF
Kroonstad.
According to a .Capetown dispatch
of this date, General Kitchener had
a narrow escape from capture In the
engagement at Leeuw Spruit, June IA.
He was sleeping in the repair train
when Il was attacked and many OF the
engineers were captured.
General Kitcheners sleeping car was
at Kopjes station when the Beers undeg
Gen. Dcwet suddenly opened nre at 3
a. m. Kitchener managed TO reach
his horse and galloped TO Rhenoster'
two miles distant. The Beers num-
bered 900 men, with three guns. They
destroyed the oulyert which had just
been rebuilt, and deralled the train.
The Beers. who are alleged TO be
hemmed In by General Rumble, began

afternoon listening to arguments upon

alton Is placed at $4,000 and ii was
required 10 show cause, upon the

Street. who appeared for the company,
admitted that there had been S25O,OO0,
invested by his company In the plant az
the Jordan Narrows, but he said that a
great part OF the investment was In
dead property. and he, therefore, pro-
tested against the proposed raise. His
company was willing 70 pay taxes on
all its Improvements. but did not pro-
pose TO on Improvements that returned
no income on the Investment The
board took the matter under advise

WORKERS IN LACE

Few people know that most of the
imported laces are made by peasants
and the little children of charitable in
stitutions. Lace schools have been
founded on the outskirts of the larger
cities. Here each child is trained to do
one particular stitch, either on parch-
ment or black dotted paper, where the
thread Is carried from point to point,
the pattern having been carefully
traced previously, and when the entire
pattern is covered this parchment can
be torn away. These laces, when fin
ished, are placed on the market, fabu-
lous prices being paid for them. 1t has
been suggested that with the talent in
our own American homes such institu-
tions would be q great success. A
school of designing has been talked of
where the first rudiments are taught,
each person to learn certain stitch,
passing from hand to hand, turning out
a perfect piece of work. Many Ameri-
can women already do beautiful lace
work, even going from door to door
with gems of handiwork, while many
times our misguided American
"grandes DANES" are going about with
q bit Of cotton lace on their gowns, sure
that 1t Is hand made and imported, be-
cause So-and-So said 1t came from
abroad-Harper's Bazaar.

POOIs TCCONOM

The annual report of the superinten-
dent of education in South Carolina pre-
sents some curious figures respecting
the relative cost of schooling for white
children and negro children in that
State. 1t appears that the negroes at
tending school last year numbered 1885,
COZ, and that they cost the State $202,-
III. or something like $1.30 per capita,
whereas the children enrolled in the
white schools numbered 126,395 and cost
the State $780, $40, or 1854 per capita. In
other words, the negroes at school out
number the whites by 10000, and the
whole expense of training them is less
than third of what it costs for the
white pupils.
IF it is considered economy in South
Carolina to scrmp in the education of
the negroes the South Carolina idea of
economy needs revising. There is much
in that State about the poor
quality of the negroes, but their quality
will not be rapidly improved by depriv-
ing them of good educational advan-
tages.

HOW TO CARRY A GUN.

There are only two directions in
which muazle of a gun can safely be
pointed; these are up or down. A shot
fred in the air can scarcely iniure any
one or anything, and one discharges
into the ground is equally harmless.
Therefore, in all the different positions
which the gun assumes, see that it is
pointed either up or down. Sometimes
man will be seen who carries his gun
reversed, holding it by the muzzle while
the fore end rests on the shoulder and
the stock projects behind. Happily,
this practice is not common, for il is ex-
tremely dangerous, and many men have
been killed by carrying their guns in
this way. If man stumbles or steps
in hole, or catches his foot on a root
and falls, his gun may very likely be
thrown forward with the muzzle direct
ly toward his body, and may easily
