ternoon with elaborate ceremonial Col

The death OF Senior Valiente materially
changes tho political situation. His re-
election was considered assured, but now
there is prospect OF hard fight between
the rival candidates OF the black and white
parties. Recent developments have shown
that the color line viii be closely drawn

declare their intention to organize an
annexation party rather than accept negro
domination.

fectlve today In Il somewhat modified
form. No detention of outgoing pas
sengers will be required, unless serious

Capetown. Saturday, March 31--The
departure of the British transports with
the Boer prisoners for st. Helena has been
delayed In consequence OF tho increased
sickness among the prisoners. Three

the week.
Arrangements are being made to pre-
vent overcrowdng. The prisoners do
not complain of their treatment or their
food. Many of General Cronje's men
when captured were completely worn out
with the hardships they had undergone
and little strength was left them to fight
silsease. Moreover the confinement on
shlpboard is very irksome to men who
have bGn accustomed to outdoor life.

The strictly severe sailor hat is not
very much in favor this season, and if
we had always followed French taste
in this particular it never would have
tiourished to any such extent as it has.
1t is suitable only for young girls deck
ed in outing garb, but it has been and
is still worn by women who have pass
ed the four corners of life. However,
says the New York Sun, there is a sub
stitute for this hat almost as variable
in shape and trimming as the faces
which it shadows. There is the sailor
shape in soft lacelike straw trimmed
with a stylish bow of velvet or ribbon,
a huge chiffon rosette with golden gal
loon or a scarf of chiffon around the
crown and possibly folds of chiffon
facing the brim. Then there are tur-
bans and toques of rough straw and
pique covered with stitching and trim
med with soft silks. Rough rider hats
we have had all winter, and they are
here again made of felt straw and
linen duck.

How to Can. Preserve and Spice
Them-Cherry Pie, Etc.
When the rich crimson globes hang
in clusters and visions of the good
things of our childhood rise before us,
W. turn to cookbooks to help us serve
them. But we do not always fiud just
what we want, and for this reason a
writer in The Ladies' World offers a
variety of tried recipes, among which
occur the following:
To Can Cherries.-Make a sirup of
two cupfuls of sugar to one quart of
boiling water in porcelain kettle, add
two quarts of pitted cherries and cook
together ten minutes. Seal up hot.
Cherry Preserves. - Weigh equal
quantities of pitted cherries and brown
sugar. Cook very slowly in q stone
cIock until done.
Spiced Cherries.-To any quantity of
cherries picked with the Stems on add
half as much sugar, one-fourth as
much vinegar and spices of all kinds.
Simmer slowly together for 80 minutes
and seal up hot.
Cherry Pie.-Line pie tin with rich
puff paste, fill with pitted cherries,
sprinkle over tablespoonful of flour,
few drops of vanilla and cupful of
sugar. Cover with the paste and bake
in a moderate oven. Sift powdered
sugar over the top.
Cherry Sh0rtcake Make a rich bis.
cult dough, just stiff enough to mold
with spoon and spread an inch thick
in long pan. Sprinkle with sugar and
bake to a light brown. Split with a
warm knife, butter and fill with a lay
er of sweetened cherries. Sauce: One
cupful of cherry juice, one of water
one of sugar, one teaspoonful of vanil,
la and one large spoonful of cOrnstarch
added when the sirup is boiling. Pile
cherries on top when serving.
Cherry Pudding.-A quart of -four, a
pinch of salt, a tablespoonful of baking
powder, half cupful of lard or butter
and the same of sugar. Mix all togeth
er. Stir up with milk or water so as tC
handle well and roll out in thin, long
sheet. Spread thick layer of pitted
| cherries well sweetened over it and, be
ginning at one end, roll up into a long
roll. Put a tablespoonful of butter into
a pint of hot water in a deep bread tin
| Lay in the cherry roll and bake tive
, hours in an even heated oven.
Cherry Tart.-Line deep tart shells
with puff paste and bake brown in 6
| quick oven. Just before serving hall
fill the shells with cherries that have
been well sweetened. Cover the TOT
with meringue and slightly brown the
top in quick oven.

to receive a disconcerting reply from

for breach of warranty of horse, the
age of the animal being the chief mat
ter in dispute, and had to cross exam
inc a hostler, yokel with every ap-
pearance of rustic simplicity.
Upon what authority do you swear
to the age of the mare" he asked.

eific answer.

The British bark Galgate, Captain
Griftiths, big four master, made
record breaking run ON her voyage
from Shanghai to the mouth of the Co.
lumbia, covering the distance from
buoy to buoy in q days. The nearest
approach to this record is said to have
been made by one of Renton, Holmes
q Co.'s four masted schooners, which
made the run from Shanghai to the
sound in % days. Vessels from Shang-
hal are less frequent visitors here than
those from Yokohama and other Japan
ports, and the wonderful run of the
Galgate can be better understood when
it is stated that the voyage from
Shanghai to the Columbia is generally
conceded by shipmasters to be fully q
week or ten days longer than the run
from Yokohama. The record passage
from the latter port to the Columbia
river is a fraction less than 90 days, the
Selkirk making the record run about
three years ago.
The Galgate's biggest days perform
ance was 295 miles, but in a ten day
run she reeled off over 1900 miles, an
average of over II miles an hour and
speed which would bother most of
the tramp steamers to maintain.-Port-

During this curious monOlogue the
moon had travelled somewhat on it's

twinkling and that she was on the

him, Vera composedly answered:
'Your philosophy, dear Arthur, is eX-

empty chair at her side, hold my hand
and look me full in the face and then
tell me that you are not head over

that for the last five minutes you have
been speaking, as they say in courts
the truth, the whole truth and nothing

took his pretty companions hand. lie
observed it was beautifully soft. He
looked into her eyes. He noticed they
had in them a light he had never seen
before and that on her face was q
smile and an expression that could
