LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE enthusiasm
which yesterday greeted the report
that Lord Roberts had actually be-
gun his advance toward Kimberly

mornings news thai the positions of
the British at and near Coiesburg
and Rensberg is so critical that Gen.
Freuch's forces may be compelled to

The Beers are unquestionablv
answering Lord Roberts aggressive

are actually threatening his line Of

Cape Colony Beers are in great

Commander DeIIarri. one of the

strike blow ut the British line of
communication that would coop up

Military experts here believe that
the retirement IF the British from

on the theory that the enemy is not
able to successfully assume the Of

The withdrawal of Gen. French =

Clarence Ellis, of Company I, Sixth
United States Infantry, an Indianapo-
lis boy, who Is at San Carlos, Negroes
island, in the Philippines. has written
a letter to friends in this city, says the
Indianapolis News, in which he says:
THE fighting is over, but our work
here still seems to be undone. The

square and two or three times a week
we are sent out into the mountains to
hike around and let the natives know
we are here. If Uncle Sam would order
the Spaniards here to pull up stakes
and go to hades. or some other sea-
port, it would not be long until the
natives were civilized and all right.
Speaking about civilizing the natives,
there has been a decided change in cos
tunes worn by the mountain maidens
since we arrived. When we arrived in
San Carlos. last October, the women
wore very little clothing Of any kind
But now you ought to see our BLACK

women first started to church, under
our protection, their dress was COM

waist, coming down to about the knees,
and this 'kirt' was made of any sack.
But this is all changed. Now they are

Khama is king of the Bamangwato
tribe. His 10000 subjects are called
Bechuanas, because they live in Be-
chuanaland; but they resent this name
themselves, and do not acknowledge
it as a tribal term. Khama Is an old
man now-lean, hungry and as ugly as
only an old negro can be; but he is q
very good old man and in his way has
probably done more real good to the
cause of the natives than any other
two dozen native chiefs. He will not
allow any intoxicating liquor what
ever to be sold anywhere within his

Good Army Story.

1t Is an old army story that tells
how two men of the guard did so we'll
that the adjutant was unable to de-
eide which of them was entitled to be
detailed as orderly. Finally he found
that the tip of the bayonet scabbard Of
one was cleaner and brighter than
that of the other. whereupon he chose
the man with the bright tip. The
Second division of the cadets at An
napolis won the right to carry the
colors in very much the same way.
The contest had lasted through the
entire year; the Second and Third
divisions were tied in everything.
Finally the Second division beat the
Third at baseball. That was the bright
tip, and the Second division will
have the colors" for a year.

The Indret works have just finished
the construction of an armored train
intended for the French army. Unlike
the armored trains in use in the South
African war, the new wheeled fortress
is composed of wagons cylindrical in
shape, instead of the quadrangular
form used in the English army. The
separate cars are so constructed that
they may be "telescoped" one into the
other, if required, in such a way that
the train may, at moments notice,
either lessen or prolong its length, ac-
cording to the resistance manifested
by the enemy. The locomotive is also
of cylinder shape, and the forward
portion of it is incased in a massive
steel cuirass. The rear of the train is
protected by a similar armor device.
The new train is about 100 feet long.
Its maximum speed is so miles an
hour. Seen in movement from a dis
lance this new engine of war resembles
a monster serpent gliding across the
earth by the simple motion of it's
coils

COST OF SHOW.
The Smallest Tent shows Can BE Rugged
Out for $500.

Out for $500.
The "reminiscences of the late w.
c. Coup, manager of the Barnum
show, are appearing in the Saturday
Evening Post. The following is an
extract:
One of the largest shows ever or
ganized in this country, and which
was reputed to be worth more than
a million dollars, was inventoried on
the death of one of the proprietors,
with view to selling the estate of
/ the deceased, and, to the great sur
prise of the executors, was found to
reach in value only about 100000,
Twenty years ago show with
daily expenditure of $3.50 was thought
extravagant, while fifty years ago a
circus whose receipts averaged SEQ It
| day was considered to be doing good
business. Today there is one show
| the expenses of which are undoubted
ly more than $500 the day, although
1t is surprising what wonderful dis
plays are made by others at cost
of less than $1,000 the day.
The cost of cages varies. The or
| namental cars used for advance ad-
vertising are comfortably, and even
deliberately, fitted, and are provided
| with a huge paste boiler and other
conveniences. They cost anywhere
from $4,000 to $1,000. The fiat and
| stock cars used by circuses cost from
$500 to $500 each; passenger coaches
from $1,000 upward.
Some circus proprietors also have
their own private cars, fitted with
every imaginable convenience and
luxury, and such a car costs high In
the thousands. The expense of the
wardrobe depends, Of course, on the
amount used, and its quality ana
whether the costumes are intended
for spectacular show or an ordinary
circus. The wardrobe and papier-
mache chariots used in the production
of our Congress of Nations cost Mr..
Barnum and myself more than $40,
900.
We paid $4,000 for our first hippo
irome tent alone, and this did not
include dressing-room tents, horse
tents and camp tents. Afterward,
however, we had larger one made
for very much less money. The small
circuses that hover around Chicago
and the larger cities of the west in
summer usually use a tent about
eighty feet across, with two thirty
foot middle pieces. This equipped
with poles, seats and lights, costs
about $500.

The Worlds Ripppst Gun.

The gun guarding the harbor in New
York is the largest in the world. 1t is
no less than a ton and half heavier
than any other gun in existence, and
will throw shell weighing 1850
pounds, while the weight of the pow
der required for each charge is 1,500
pounds. 1t is said to carry sixteen
miles, and every time it is fired means
an expenditure of $1,000, and it can be
fired once in every two minutes. The
cost of making was more than $125 900
the total expense, including it's arma-
ment and placing it in the harbor,
amounting to 100000. The gun is so
large that man could crawl into it
through the muzzle, and so capacious
that fifty soldiers could shelter inside
it. A hundred horses could barely
draw it's burden of 126 tons, and two
and a half battalions of infantry could
not carry it dozen yards.
