London, Feb. 2.-The st. James Ga
zette says 1t is reported ON good au-
thority that General Butler has again
crossed the Tugela river at three places
and that fighting has been proceeding
all day long.
The supplemental lists of casualties
fill two columns in nonpareil type in
the morning papers, making 1,300 re-
ported thus lar from General Buffers
former operations north of the Tugela.
The Daily Chronicle estimates that the
total exceeds 1000. The 40 per cent.
loss at Spion kop is greater than any
British force ever suffered, except pos
sibly at Albuera, Spain, in 1911.
European Soldiers Among the Beers.
A letter appears from Hanoverian
officer formerly of the Twenty-second
German infantry, but now among the
military advisers of the Beers. which
says that nearly 10000 trained Euro
pean soldiers, including quite 300 Off
GERS, are among the Beers. Referring
to the military situation at Ladysmith,
the officer says: lowing to the strength
of our position, on circle of nights,
like Sedan, we cannot be brushed aside
except by relief column outnumber-
Ing us two to one. Owing to the dis
covery that cotton khaki is insufficient

added, the government has promised

and volunteers and 10000 militia re-

unteers will be modified forthwith,
1t Is even asserted that the cabinet

Breathing Exercises.
From the London Globe.

If during the coming winter the observant
pedestrian should notice innumerable ex-
cited people striding through the streets
with a stick across their backs and between
their elbows he must not jump at the con-
clusion that London has suddenly lost it's
senses. For this form of exercise is part of
treatment which is now rapidly becoming
popular-the cure for asthma, bronchitis
and all the other pulmonary diseases which
trouble and distress the dwellers in our
foggy, smoke-laden cities. Hitherto the
asthmatic person has kept indoors as often
as possible, carefully shutting windows and
doors and keeping a roaring fire blazing in
the crate. Now he Is hidden to fling his
windows open, to sleep even with his win
dows open. and, moreover, to keep in the
open air much as possible But this is
not all. He is taught that 1t Is not so i'm
portant what he breathes as how he
breathes. Breathing exercises, then, are
part of the cure and here not only the suf-
ferer from bronchial catarrh Is concerned
but even the woman Of fashion anxious to
maintain her good looks. For fifteen min
matte patients. and indeed all the world.
are hidden to stand out Of DOORS prefer
ably in the sunshine, and. holding the chest
up. to fnhale slowly through the nose and
then as quickly exhale the breath through
the mouth. OF course. every one knows
that 1t Is through the notrils he should in
hale, and 1t Is quite probable that many of
humanity's Illnesses are due to Improper
breathing. but at the same time II will be
an almost superhuman feat to make man
kind breathe through the nostrtls.

FOX FARMING IN alaska.
A New Industry That the Government
Intends to Encourage.

From the Seattle Post Intelgenoer.
The United States steamship Perry, now
at Sitka en- route to Puget sound, has just
completed her annual inspection Of the fish
ing and fur-bearing animal industries of
Alaska. the cruise covering a period of five
months during which time something like
Is 200 miles of water has been traversed.
considerable portion of the cruise of the
Perry was devoted to the duty Of ascertain
ing the locations OF all islands in use for
the domestication and propagation Of fur
bearing animals, and especially those used
for fox farming. and in enforcing the regu-
lations thereto, namely, that yearly
rental of 500 should be paid for each island
made use of for fox raising and that each
tenant should receive lease securing him
the right of occupancy of said island for
this single purpose. The investigation de-
veloped the fact that no less than thirty
five islands were being used in this busi-
ness, and upward of $4,000 for new ieases
has been collected, in addition to what had
already been paid directly to the Treasury
Department together with promises from
others not then able to meet the demand
upon them.
The initial step toward the domestication
and propagation OF the blue fox on the
islands of Alaska was taken something over
dozen years ago on North Semidi Islands
with twenty-five blue foxes brought from
the Pribilof Islands. and landed on these
barren and almost unknown shores. Not
withstanding the fact that the habits and
requirements of the fox had to be studied.
the proper artificial food found. the method
of catching them without injury learned,
still from this small number nearly twenty
other Islands have been stocked, several of
them by natives who take naturally to the
business.
And now with the hundreds of barren
islands which can be used for no other pos
sible purpose, and which would seem to be
well ntted for the raising of fur-bearing
are being exterminated, and II not domesti-
Gated must at a time not far remote be-
come extinct. 1t seems wise of the govern
ment to encourage this industry and pro-
tect those engaged in 1t in all possible
ways

Bnss and Alto Fated.

From the Chicago Tribune
Every alto singer who has sung with the
choir of the Presbyterian Church of Belle
Vile in the last twenty years has stepped
out Of the choir to marry the man who
sang bass next her Four times in success
sion it has happened. The latest young
woman to follow the rule is Miss Laura
Isabella Hyde. She has just been mar
ried to Arthur c. Schultz, who for several
years past has held her music for her and
sung the deep bass as she scared away in
the alto notes. Mrs. Schutz's father is
Sam Hyde, who sang bass in the same
choir two decades ago. He started the Gus
tom, which still prevails, by marrying Miss
Ida Rogers. who sang alto in the choir at
the same time. A little later and at diff
ferent times Mrs. Hyde's two brothers,
George and Charles Rogers, stood at the
bass end of the choir. and each of them
found that the young woman who hap
pened to be singing alto at the same time
was the only girl in the world for him.

Party lines were strictly drawn at the
fourth election. 1t was at this time that the
plan of nominating candidates by party
caucus was adopted. Tie faderalists held
their caucus early in 1860 No account of
the proceedings of this CAUCUS was pub

decided upon Adams for a second term, and

Vice President. The democratic-republica

Two of the smoothest Of the bunko
artists who have lately operated In Sc
attic made victim a few days ago
of r. w. Barto, local loan agent AS
result of his acquaintance with the
operators, whose names are unknown TO
the police. Mr.. Barto lost $S5 In cash
The trick worked by the confidence men
was not entirely departure from the
traditions of this species of crooks al
though it is not common. AS Mr.. Barto
tells the story TO the police, the circum-
stances were about as follows:
A week ago stranger entered the Of
fee and requested loan of $50, stating
way freight offices in the city, and giving
the name of the chief clerk. He answered
the usual questions satisfactorily, and
then told Mr.. Barto that to make sure
he could call up the chief clerk and as
certain as to the truth of his represent
tations.
Mr. Barto complied with the sugges-
ton, calling up the number given by the
customer. A man answered the call, said
ne was the chief clerk, and that the bor-
rover was good and had money coming
from the railroad company. Mr.. Barto
thereupon made the loar.
A day or two later Mr.. Barto received
said he was the same chief clerk. He
said he wanted SIS for few days. Mr..
Barto said he would make the loan on
receipt of a written order for the money.
together with an assignment on the chief
clerks salary. In due time stranger
presented the order. which bore the sig
nature of the person whom Mr., Barto be-
lieved he had been conversing with.
Again the money was advanced. Later,
after an investigation. Mr.. Barto discov-
cred the fact that the order mentioned
was forged and that the stranger who
had obtained $50 of his money was un-
known in the railway office.
The case was Immediately reported to
the police department. 1t Is the theory
of the police that two men worked the
trick; that in the first case, A confed-
crate Of the sharp who obtained the $50
answered the telephone and represented
himself as the railroad Office chief clerk.
In the second instance, 1t is presumed,
the bunko men exchanged places.
