the arrival Of Roberts and Kitchener.
OF the bravery of the British troops
there can be no doubt. 1t has been dis
played again and again. But the capa-
city of the leaders can be very much
questioned. It does begin to look as If
Napoleon's aphorism better a regiment
of asses led by a lion, than regiment
of lions led by an ass" was being ex-
emplifed in South Africa at the present
time.
Politically the war, or rather the mis-
management in military affairs, has
shaken the Salisbury ministry to its
foundations, and men who were the
idol of the hour a few months ago are
now universally distrusted. Even the
Conservative press is attacking the
government. This of course was to be
expected. Success in war is always
popular, but defeat is fatal to polti-
clans.
The British have by this time learn
ed that their arr y is not we'll organic
ed, just as the French learned the same
lesson in the war with Germany. It is
fortunate that Great Britain is not en-
gagged with some first class power, or
her defeat or check, which ever one
may be pleased to call it, would have
had far more serious consequences.
As it is, Continental complications are
! cropping up and may be expected to
crop up. AS a fact the French have
never forgotten Waterloo and the Fa-
shoda incident has added fuel to the
| fire. However this is not the first time
| that Britain has been unsuccessful at
| the outset, and has then retrieved her
self. The war has certainly opened the
nations eyes to her short comings, and
there will be a general stirring up in
the war office. But first and foremost
! Great Britain has to go in and win, or
she will lose a large part of her en-
pire.

MINOR CRIMES.

The record of criminal cases which
came before District Judge Wilcox dur
ing the year 1899 was indeed a heavy
one. In all there were 41O6 cases, and
making allowance for Sundays, legal
holidays-that makes an average Of
about IA cases per diem. This will show
what an amount of work has to be done.
In addition to these there are the civil
cases which occupy a considerable
amount of time during the afternoons,
so that the Judges like the policeman's
life lis not happy one"
Many of these cases have to be dealt
with by the rules of Common Sense
rather than by the strict letter of the
law, and many and many culprit has
to thank the Judge for possessing that
quality. Especially is this case with
Hawaiians. There is probably no for
eigner on the Islands who understands
the native better than Judge Wilcox.
He is a son of the soil, he is the most
fluent Hawaiian speaker in the Islands,
and has a more thorough technical

any one in the group. His keen common
sense appeals to the Hawaiian when it
is laid before him with Doric frank
ness.
Among the cases brought before the
Judge, gambling takes the lead in num-
her, of these 94S We're tried. OF the Of
tenders asa We're Chinese and 1856 were
Hawaiians. Drunkenness stands next
on the list with a total of SS2 cases of.
which 1872 were Hawaiians, 39S were
Foreigners and only were Chinese.
These two offenses comprise forty-four
per cent of all the cases tried, and
though the Hawaiians in the gambling
cases fall short of the Chinese, in the
two offences united they exceed the
Chinese and all other nationalities. For
the two offenses 459 Chinese appeared
while of Hawaiians 577 were called up
to the bar, the deduction being that
while the Chinaman's besetting sin is
gambling, the Hawaiian devotes him
self importially to both gambling and
drunkenness.

OF the advancing forces nothing
seems known. Methuen, Gatacre and

Butler is making some secret move. Of
course this may be so, but it is evident
that the mass Of English people have
lost confidence in Butler, and that they

CHARGE FOR FRESH AIR.
Experiences OF an American Family
Who Were Travelling An
Germany.

Many have been the doleful stories
Of travellers returned from Europe
anent the extortionate charges inn
posed upon long suffering Americans
in the lands across the Atlantic. And
now comes a distinguished Chicagoan
who declares thatin Germany recently
he was charged for fresh air, says the
Chronicle.
With his wife and family he was jour
neying in a railway train. The air in
the stuffy little compartment becom-
ing stale, the wife of the Chicagoan
asked him to communicate with the
guard. In each compartment in Euro
pean railway trains is handle connect
ed with a bell rope leading to the
guards cab. Near the handle is posted
a notice warning passengers that the
guard is not to be summoned except in
desperate cases, such as murder, ETC.,
under penalty.
The Chicagoan could not read Ger-
man, but he knew that his wife wanted
fresh air, so he gave the grip lusty
pull. The train, which was an express,
slackened speed and finally came to a
full stop. The guard and the engine
driver rushed back excitedly, expecting
to discover something very dire 1n-
deed. By virtue of signs the Chicagoan
explained what he wanted. Thereat
he was greeted with a storm of abuse
and he was very near being threatened
with personal violence. However, the
guard and the engine driver returned
to their posts and the train proceeded.
When the Chicagoan and his party arr
rived at their destination he was met
at the railway station by a jabbering
mob of officials, who promptly hailed
him before an august functionary, who
managed to inform him that his little
gayety with the bell cord would cost
him just 80 marks, which he must pay
or go to prison. The Chicagoan took
the former alternative.

POISON IN A WEARY BODY.
Human Beings Are Subject to a Spe-
ciea OF SeIf-POisOninE by the
Eating of Game.

The eating of high" game is IN
doubtedly attended with risks and the
poisonous effects are probably due
to the toxins produced in the earlier
stages of the putrefactive process,
says the London Lancet. The advan-
tage, of course, of hanging game is
that the flesh becomes tender and
decidedly more digestibIe than when
1T is quite fresh. The ripening proc
ess, however, may mean the elabora-
ton of toxins. It has been stated
that the production of the character
istic favors of game is related direct
~ to the amount of sulphuretted n.y.
drogen or sulphur-alcohol set free,
but it is rather repulsive to think
that the delicate favors of game is
dependent upon that invariable prod
uce of decomposition of rotten eggs
sulphuretted hydrogen. The smell
evolved during cooking of ''high"
game is even more disgusting.
Fresh game sometimes sets up mys-
ferrous poisoning symptoms, which
have been attributed to the face of
the game having been overhurried
and fatigued. Fatigue products, in
deed, have been separated from over
hunted game which when injected
into a healthy animal have produced
marked poisonous effects. There is
no doubt that fatigue products under
certain circumstances are also elab-
Grated in the human body and give
rise to a species of poisoning,
characteristic symptoms of which are
headache, stupor and gastric and in
festival pains. The flesh of over
driven cattle may prove poisonous
from the same cause.
This curious formation of poisonous
products in the flesh of animals
through a state of terror or exhaus-
ton is question well worth consid-
ering in relation to the wholesomeness
of animal foods and emphasizes the
Importance of Staying animals intend
ed for food in the most humane way

Christmas.

Christmas 1900 has come and
gone. One more anniversary of
the birth of the worlds Redeem
er has been celebrated. Of ali
the seasons of the year this is the
one of universal rejoicing. There
is always enough peace and
good will" in the idea of the
Christmas tide to make joy IN the
homes of the people whether
times are good or bad; and this
year is no exception. Although
the corn bins of Phillips county
people are not so full as usual,
they have dispensed gifts with
the same bountifu1 hands season
able membranes for their
friends and loved ones.
Services IN this city were held
Monday evening in the Baptist
church, the Methodist church
and the Presbyterian church.
The Christian people participant
ed with the Baptists.
The exercises at the Baptist
church consisted of a cantata en-
titled christmas Fairies" and
was very beautiful all the way
through. The music and drills
were very fine indeed, and were
performed almost to perfection.
The program reflected great cred
it upon the children and the old
er ones who too part and espec-
tally upon those who drilled
them for their various parts.
The decorations gave the church
a very handsome appearance.
The program at the Methodist
was an excellent one and
well performed. The recitation
and music were especially en-
joyed by all. The tree and other
decorations, while not elaborate,
were very tasty and produced
quite pretty effect.
The exercises at the Presbyter-
ian church consisted of excellent
recitations, ETC., and was
most p1easing1y rendered. The
tree and decorations were hand
some and harmonized perfectly
with the interior of the beautiful
church.
Each of the trees were loaded
with rich and valuable presents.
No member of the various Sun
lay schools was left without a |
testimonial of some ones good
will, and all, especially the little
were made happy once
more.

w1LHELMINA's HUSBAND.
Prince Henry VIII Not Gut Any
Figure in Nether1and
Politics.

The future prince consort of Ho1-
land, Prince Henry, will not be an
important parsonage politically. In
fact, he will have no excuse for mix
ing in politics if he had the desire to
do so. He may share the queens pop
ularity by being just the good huS-
band of his wife, an exemplary head
of society and, above everything else,
a patriot. The parliament, the cabi-
net, the council of state Tin which the
regency was vested) for all purposes
of government exercise Legislative and
executive power. They are the root,
stem and branch. The queen is the
flower. Her husband has no place in
the constitution and would be ill-ad-
vised indeed to try to create one, says
a foreign exchange.
Although Prince Henry bears a high
rank in the German army, he is not
German. The proud boast of his
house is that they are Wends-that is
to say, Slavs. Nothing annoyed the
late .comte de Paris more than to
read in the papers that he was the
son of a German princess. He claimed
that she was Wend. AS child, she
was called by her erudite tutor "the
queen of the Wends." The grand
dukes of Mecllenburg-S chwerin have
also been from time immemorial
princes of the Wends. The high sense
of dignity shown by their daughters
in not changing their religion, as they
might garment, is surely no German
characteristic.

The daily papers of late are
filled with accounts of ho1d-ups,
robberies, ETC., one of the most
daring being the Cudahy kidnap-
ing case at Omaha. Some per-
son of a philosophical turn of
mind ought to tell the public the
cause for this great increase in
crime. 1t used to be thought
that hard times and frequent rob-
berries held some sort of connec-
ton, but that theory is now ex-
ploded, for is not this a period of
great prosperity?

TREASURES OF AZTEC TIMES.
Valuable Archaeological objects
Found in the Gale de las

The work that has been carried onin
the Gale de las EscalerilIas for the Law

as is well known, that street, as we'll

The latest discoveries seem to be
the most important of all Foremost
among them are two figures of the god

Quetzacoatl. One of these figures is
painted red, yellow and black, and, in
spite of the dampness of the ground
where it has lain for centuries, the col
ors have remained fresh and vivid.
These idols are adorned with disks
of gold, which are polished and en-
graved in a remarkable manner, saws

about 20 centimeters in diameter and
the gold plate is of fair thickness.
Other objects found at the same
time were four ear ornaments of gold,
a gold jewel case belonging to the god

A CLEVER CHINEE.
He Draws Keen Comparison of His
Religion and Other
Peoples.

zone Of the most brilliant men of nv
acquaintance is Chinaman,'' said John
B. Galore, of New York, to a Washing.
ton Post reporter. 'He has a tea house
up in our metropolis, and he is scholar
as well as importer of the leaf. We were
talking about the Chinese imbrogIio
several days ago, and conversation
drifted from Boxers and the taking of
Picking to the teachings of Confucius.
He called attention to the fact that mis-
sionaries were trying to Christianize
native Chinese who cling to a religion
which has stood the test 5000 years,
and had nearly 300, 900 followers.
while the Christian religion is scarcely
1000 years old with many followers OF
divided belief.
you Christian believers remind
me- he explained, of the Chinaman
who stood on the river shore and
watched the moon rise over the hill. A
ray of sublime light came to him. It
was beautiful. His friends were sta.
toned at other places and he called K
them to come quick and behold his own
beautiful ray of light. They replied
that they also followed beautiful rays
of light to the same moon. From what
ever position they looked they caught
a ray equally as, beautiful. That's the
way with religion, and especially yours.
You are looking. at the light of good
ness, emanating from the Divine
source, and each thinks he has a. monop-
oily, like the lone Chinaman with his one
ray of light"
