BACK TO ROYALTY.
Mrs. Josie Halls Ancestry
Traced to 873.

Mrs. Josie A. Hall, sister o
Mrs. s. J. Blythe, of Vinita, has
spent much of her time during the
last few years in Chicago, where
she has devoted much time and
study in the Newberry, and Pub
lie librarys, of that city, being
interested in the genealogical de-
department, where she collected
much yaluble data, both Of her
own and other ancestry. The
mother of Mrs. Hall and Mrs.
Blythe, was Foster, their father
a Rogers, both southern. Of the
Foster family large history has
recently been published, which
shows that. the ancestry of the
Fosters were of royal blood, and
traced back TO the year 1878. They
are related to the English and
French nobility, and some of them
married into the family Of William
the Conqueror, and Charles 2,
king Of France, the son OF Louis 1,
known as the pious king. The
ancient castle, scarborough, of
North Umbria, England, known
as s'one of the most ancient as we'll
as one Of the most substantial
castles in all England, is, and has
been for ages the home OF the
Fosters cf England, in which the
court room, banquet hall,
armory, and oid manor houss
are Of great interest. 1'ihe name
of Foster is considered in England
as one Of the most honored and
aristocratic names, according to
this late history.

AN INVENTIVE RACE.
English Analysts OF Forces That Have

Yankee.

The inventor is the man of the
hour British manufacturers do not
seem Ia realize, and British mechanics
certainly do not realize, thatl they
are engaged in close struggle for
industrial supremacy-that is, exist
ence-with eight or nine eager ma
tions, and especially with the 6O,000,-
0OO people Of the United States of
America; thai within the last 20
years industrial conditions have en-
tirely changed, and that since Brit
min came into direct industrial CON
fiict with the states the contest has
been in favor CT our cousins. 1t is a
matter Of some Importance, then, to
consider whence the Yankees derive
their world-famed inventive powers
As IN most other questions of The
kind, numerous answers have been
provided, from the Nova Scotian the
cry of pure cussedness," to be differ
ent from old ef7ete Europe, to elabor-
ate dissertations on the New England
climate. But "Can nation be born
In day." feast Of all, can day pro-
duce nation of inventors whose
works supplant those Of all other ma
tions.

can, we must examine him IYon the.

make him whas ne Is. Iongfellow is
probably right when he says that the
choice of three nations was taken to
provide "the seed for that sowing"
which after generations would see
growing into the great republic; but
unouestionably the faith the seed
carried with them was an excellent
foundation for a nation. Carlisle

alias "belief," or religion. that they |
took with them to America
A creed like the old Egyptian one
would have led them to build huge
temples and splendid monuments, and
all ,thei- energies would have, been alb
sorbed in stone; but the Puritan
creed was strongly opposed to tenn
pies OF any kind, very much prefer
ring superior men and women to
scenic display, so that the energy Of
the emigrants was free to take all
kinds Of useful practical shapes.
America would never have been for
rival of British If the whole
continent had been settled by build
ars Of fine churches. The pilgrim fa-
Lhers, we'll taught, sifrewd and acute
men, were driven to Boston by their
creed, the practical leading whereof
was the right to thoroughly search
he Bible for themselves, TO form opin-
ons from it. and to carry out the
they arrived at. Now,

Suffering From Paresis.

New York, Dec. 3O.-A special to the
World from Boston says:
Congressman Boutelle is now in the hos.
pital for the insane at Waverley, seven
miles out Of Boston. When he was brought
to Boston last Monday night it was the
intention of the attending doctors to place
him in the Claiming sanitarium at Brook
line, private institution. He was refused
admittance there, the inference being that
his case was a more desperate one than
the management cared to be responsible
for. From thoroughly reliable source it
was reported that the congressman is sui
fering from paresis.

Lourenzo Marquee, Jan. 1.-The steam

East African line, has been captured as a
prize and taken to Durham. The Bundles.
rath arrived here from Mozambique. The
German steamer Bundesrath of 1919 tons,
sailed from Hamburg November 8 for
Tanga, East Africa.
Hamburg, Jan. 1.-The directors OF the
German East Africa line have received
news OF the arrest of the Imperial mail
steamer Bundesrath. The commander OF
the Port of Durham refused an explana-
ton of the cause OF the seizure. 1t is
declared here that there was no contra

office the latter Immediately promised in.
terposition with the British government.
The seizure of the Bundesrath was re-
ferred to at meeting OF merchants held
here today. After "A speech by Adolph
WOermann, president of the Hamburg
chamber of commerce, dealing with the

ing the closing century, Herr Reiffe,
speaking in behalf of the firms trading

chamber was doing all that was neces-
sary for the protection OF German trade
in that part OF the world. German COM

Boers shelIed Ladysmith.

London, Jan. l.-During the night OF
December % Ladysmith and Chieveley
camp were in full communication, the
former reporting all well. While the sig
mailing was in progress the Beers at
tempted to muddle the messages with
flashlights from each extremity Of their
long entrenched line.
The naval brigade took advantage of the
opportunity to shell the Boer positions,
which were plainly revealed by their own
lights.
The naval battery resumed the shelling
of the Boer trenches on the morning Of
December 20, but their fire failed to elicit
any signs of life.
A dispatch from Cape Town, dated We'd
nesday, December q, announced that an
armored train had restored communica-
ton with Dordrecht, where the Free State
flag had been hauled down and that the
Beers had been driven from the adjacent
hills TO Stormberg.
The war Office, when communicating
about midnight copies of the messages ex-
changed between the queen and the in
habitanis OF Kimberley, stated that no
further news had been received up TO that
hour, and nothing Of Importance has come
from other sources during the night.
The weeks sorties, skirmishes, recon-
naisances and bombardments at various
points where the British and Beers con-
front each other, SO far as can be judged,
have had no effect upon the general situa.

TO PREVENT RESURRECTION
IN CAPE COLONY LOCALITY.
The English Organise Into Home
Guards-The Beers Are Trying to
Wreck Trains-Small skirmishcs
Take Place.

Cape Town, Jan. 2.-The colonial au-
thorities are using every precaution to pre-
vent an insurrection on the part of dis.
loyal Dutch in Cape Colony, and to sup
press rising if one should occur. Every
where the British colonists are being Or
ganized into home guards, drilled, armed
and ready to act in their respective locali-
ties should armed Dutch colonists gather.
The theory is that the British home stay
ing colonials should be fully prepared to
cope with the Dutch colonials without the
aid of regulars.
The alertness of the British makes unit
ed action on the part of the pro- Boer resi-
dents difficult. Unable to act openly, they
slip away singly Or in small groups to Join
the enemy's forces. The authorities have
been informed OF many centers of agita.
ton, which it is considered undesirable to
particularize, but there Is nothing like con
certed action over the wide districts.
The case of Mr.. Michan, solicitor to the
DeBeers Company, who is accused of trea.
son, acquires increased importance, as he
has been transferred from the custody OF
tHc ciNi dutHOiitieo ucic " tic ihlhtdis
authorities at DeAar. his high position
causes the Dutch to watch his case keenly.
Parties of Beers have been operating
some 70 miles south of Lord Methuen s
position. Beers appeared OH Christmas
day near the railway about go miles south
of DeAar. A force of the duke of High
burg's own volunteers prepared to engage
them, but the enemy retired.
Another party fired into British patrol
camp during the night of Wednesday, Dec
q. This was near Victoria road. An at
tempt was made not far from that point
to damage the railway. One man was
caught in the act and shot.
A similar attempt was made between
Multiersoletie and Klapmuts, but the
would-be wreckers escaped. Like attempts
are reported from several other points
Evidently small parties of Beers OF Dutch
colonials have been trying to interrupt
the movement of trains, but thus tar they
have been bafiled by the elaborate British
patrolling
In one case patrol of regulars fired on
patrol of colonials. The latter were
wearing bsoad.brimmed hats and were
mistaken by the British for Beers. No
casualties occurred, but in consequence OF
the incident an order has been issued Re.
