the effects of the History" that in time the
name "knickerbocker" became the popular
one for the patron saint of New York City,
he usually being represented as a henignans
old German of ample girth, clutehing firmly
the long-stemmed clay pipe which Irving i'm
mortaliZed and gazing over his beloved City.
Recognizing the vein of sentiment in the
American people long ago 4 train service was
.inaugurated to New York from St. Louis
to which Father Knickerbocker lent his
name and through the efforts of the line
which introduced the service the "knicker-
booker Special" has become as familiar to
the average Travelled American as to the res.
idents OF his own City. Leaving st. Louis a.
noon, the traveller is borne swiftly and safe
iy to Father Knickerbocker's abode, trav-
ersing by daylight those scenes with which
he was so familiar, arriving at New York the
next day III time for a leisurely preparation
:or evening.
So popular has the service proven that tho
Big Four has started a new train as a com
panion, it leaving St. Louis 500 A. M, re-
ceiving all Western and Southwestern con-
n~ections and arriving in New York at 2:5j
the-next day. This train is known as the
New York and Boston Limited, but the way

to the motto, as a trip on it will prove to

arts' northern advance force steadily
continues, and to-day the Transvaal
hills we're sighted. Gen. French has
secured an excellent thanking position
on the northwest. There is something
irresistible about this advance. The
troops have been splendidly handled,
and the Beers, completely outma-
ueuvered, have been forced to abandon
their positions at the first appearance
Of the British thanking force.
Many Transvaal burghers are now
trekking h~omeward, and it is safe to
say that the most irreconciliable
Tr%ansvaaler at last recognizes the
hopelessness of the struggle. Most OF
the farms in the northern part of the
Free State, where the ties of blood
with the Transvaal are strongest, have
been deserted. This section has been
flooded with false tales of British
cruelty; reports of the burning of
farm houses and the eviction of women
and children, in the hope of inducing
he %burghers to remain with the COM
mandoes, but the evidence all points
now to the existence of 4 permanent
,nmity between the T~ransvaaalers
and the Free Staters, each accusing
the other of %treachery and co%wardice.
1t is regarded as unlikely that the
Transvaal government will go to Ly-
denburg. where food is scarce.
A body of Beers, mostly on foot. is
trekking hard towards Nerenninging
from the direction of Hebron. The
condition of the British troops contin-
les excellent. although the cold nights
are very trying. They are able to
march three miles an hour.
The Beers have destroyed every
bridge and culvert. They are said to
regard Klipriverberg, north of the
Naal. as Il position of great strength.
and talk of making themselves inn
2regnable there.
1t is reported that the population OF
Johannesburg.is in Il high state of eX-
element. The Beers. who are passing
through ~northward, threaten to blow
up the mines, and. in view of their
wanton destruction of everything else,
It will o be surprising if they carry
out the threat.
The British are more interested,
however. in grazing and in the water
supply than in the mines.
