DE WET A GREAT GENERAL
WHOSE INVASION is SERIOUS

London, Dec. 24.-Lord Kitchener's
dispatches, breathing Il confidence
hardly justified by their contents, are
almost the only available news from
the seat of hostilities in South Africa,
but kilograms from Cape Town depict
the situation in anything but roSeate
hueS.
Without believing the assertion of
the Transvaal agency in Brussels, that
5000 Beers have invaded Cape Colony,
it is quite evident that the invasion
was serious and well-planned affair.
In connection with this n correspondent
sends an extremely interesting letter,
dated Bethulde. December LIST, describ-
ing General De Wet and his doings.
DE Wet has never been taken SER
iously enough" says the correspondent.
1T is of little use 10 pursue him, as he
fights rear guard action and gains
twenty miles while he is being fought.
HE is born military genius. whose
wonderful powers have kept up this
phenomenal resistance.
"Once he fails, the whole thing
could be crushed in fortnight. He has
every single commando under his su-
pervision. All his patrols and columns
march and countermarch on his corder.
The forces under his command have
been reduced by his strength of will TO
properly organized army, moving at
his word. The sooner the British rid
themselves of the idea that De Vets
forces are n mere rabble, wandering
aimlessly, the sooner they will grasp

seat of government and is the central
point of the region. Mr.. Scherer is n
German who has lived many years In
the Philippines, five of which have

rotes.
The amended platform of the recent
ly organized autonomy party advocat-
ed that half OF the territorial senators
shall be elected and half appointed by

also appoint the Judges and the nun
icipnl governments shall be similar to
those OF the United States. The cap
tured document, II Is expected, VIII
be formally adopted ut II private meet
ing OF the loyal Filipino leaders to-
day and published In Manila on Mon

Many Insurrents Killed.

Manila, Dec. 24.-Advices brought
yesterday by steamer from southern
Luzon say that lieutenant and sixty
men of the Ninth United States caval-
ry attacked n large body of insur-
gents last Wednesday near Gunobatan,
province of Albay. After the battle
forty-five dead insurgents were count
ed, together with many wounded.
The only American casualty was the
wounding OF n sergeant, who was cor
nered by several rebels and struck In
the leg by bolos. The rebel loss was
the heaviest recorded among recent en-
counters.
The cutting of wires has delayed the
official report OF the engagement.

the need of the determined effort which
is necessary to capture him."
The Cape Colony Cabinet had an i'm
portant sitting yesterday (Sunday.) 1t
appears that the Beers have destroyed
a railway bridge ninety feet long,
about twelve miles south of De Aar,
and no Cape mails have arrived at
Bloemfontein for three days.
Further anxiety has been caused in
Cape Town by the discovery that dur
ing the last two months public bodies
in out of the way places have requisi-
toned supplies of dynamite. The CO.
lonial government is now endeavoring
to recover possession of these ex-
plosives and is removing all stores of
arms and ammunition from suspected
depots.
Other advices from Cape Town re-
port the, Dutch element in Cape Colony
as greatly elated over the southward
passage of the Beers and as boasting
that the whole district of Victoria
West, will join the raiders. 1t is sus-
pected in Cape Town that the force
travelling from Zootpan's Drift is not
n body of Beers, but one of Colonials,
fastening to join the raiders.
A Pietermartizburg correspondent
says:
1.-The Beers are active between
Johannesburg and Pretoria, eXchang
ing shots with the British outposts,
and it is reported that parties of Beers
are lowering around Johannesburg"

Even the unoffending dressmaker's
dummy has fallen under the ban of the
reformer. and may possibly give place
to models with normal waists. Oddly
enough. the most notable exponent Of
tight lacing in this century was not
a woman, but Nicholas l. Of Russia.
To attain that military style which he
deemed essential, he laced so tightly
that he often tainted when ungirthing
for sleep. While the American re-
joices that the bedpost corset-girl is
out of fashion, he cannot help wish
ing that the present Nicholas had fol-
lowed the example of his ancestor in
pinching his own waist rather than
in squeezing the breath out Of Fin

Mr.. Mckinley had a peculiar custom
in handling his cigars. During his

them by the box, leaving the box at the

were made. 1t was a convenient place
for him to call by to get bundle of
cigars, either in the morning or the
evening. He had no tendency toward
making changes in the brand he smok-
ed. He chose a good one and stuck to

while he has been in the White House

There IS a young man in Flushing,
Long zsland. who has lost the use of
his legs, and therefore drives about in
little wagon drawn by a goat. He is
a registered voter, and at the late cleo
tion went to the rolling place-a fire
engine house-in his wagon. The en-
trance in use was too narrow to admit
the carriage, 70 the great double doors
were thrown open and he drove in.
Having received ballot, he drove to
one of the booths, but this also was
too narrow. The election inspectors
moved a canvas booth to his side,
folded it about him and left him to
mark his ballot in secret, as the law
requires. When this was done the
cripple drove to the ballot-box, depos-
tied his vote. and then drove out.

The two-horned white rhinoceros of
Africa is considered one of the rarest
of animals. For years needless sports
men slaughtered the species until 1t
was thought to have been exterminat-
ed. Some time ago six specimens were
discovered in a remote corner of Mash
onaland, and a hunting expedition was
organized which resulted in four much
desired mountlngs being secured by
museums. 1t was again concluded that
the white rhinoceros had been exter-
minated, but recently Maj. Gibbons of
the British army ran across a stray
specimen In the Nile region and shot
1t. This Andrew Carnegie succeeded
in buying for the Carnegie museum of
Pittsburg, and II is n most desirable

AS the material cools 1t becomes ex-
ceedingly hard. but while soft can be

fruit of the tree resembles n peach In

new product can be produced very

Our Colorado butter makers do not
always pay as much attention as they
should to the quality of the salt which
they use. Much otherwise good butter
is ruined by the use of inferior salt,
Though to many people all salt Is sim.
ply salt, It is well known that there
are good and bad qualities of salt just
rs there are different qualities OF most
other commodities. The salt used for
butter-maklng purposes should be clear
white. 1t should be fine and uniform
in the grain and when dissolved In wa
ter should melt away rapidly and com.
pletely-any dirtiness In color should
always be regarded with suspicion
