London, May 24,-At "stop the war
meeting in London this afternoon Will
liam T. Stead said the Boer delegates
now in the United States told him they
We're prepared to accept peace on any
terms compatible with independence
and asked if it would do any good to
try to see Lord Salisbury. Mr.. Stead
said he replied it was useless to do so
unless they were prepared to surrender
their independence so the delegates de-
cided to go to America where they
have met with such a coldness in Off
cial circles, which has excited the exul-
tation of those who desire to crush the
little republics

the stimulus of the relief of Mafeking

progress, the queens eighty-first birth
day has been celebrated throughout the
empire with unique and almost unpra-

lie appetite for displays of patriotic
feelings, and consequently to-day was
chosen for all kinds of functions in con-
nection with the war and its funds. In
London and in the provincial towns
there was a tri-color eruption. Every
private house was decorated with mini
ature Union Jacks, and a picturesque
carnival procession, mile long, of cars
emblematlc OF the war, paraded the
northern suburbs of London. Torch
light professions and reviews In the
garrison towns, etc, Were witnessed
throughout the country. The school
children had a holiday and at most
places there was a partial suspension
of business. The West End Of London
tonight was brilliantly Illuminated and
thousands crowded the streets, wearing

Passion Play tObern m m ergnu.

Oberammergau, May 24.-The initial
performance Of the Passion Play, fol-
lowing the grand rehearsal of Sunday,
took place to-day. The attendance was
enormous, despite the fact that the day
was cold, cloudy and generally unfavor-
able. The representation as a whole.
according to the opinion of competent
judges, surpasses that of 1890. Herr
Joseph Mayer, who recited the prologue,
was, as on previous occasions. a majes-
tic figure Herr Anton Langue was ex-
cellent. although somewhat nervous.
His voice is clear and his face seems
to fit the character, although not SO
refined as the face of Mayer, who was
so long the Christ Of these representa-

started from some unknown cause in
the loft of barn on Wilford avenue,
owned by Michael P. Harding, about 10
O'Clock tonight, caused damage of
about $500, covered by insurance. The
barn was occupied by James T. Kane,
grocer, who used portion of the first
floor for q store room, and this after
noon put in $50 barrels of flour and
other stock to a total value of $1,000.
Mr.. Kane succeeded, however. in get

London, May 25.-335 a. m--Lord
Roberts infantry advance is delayed at
the Rhenoster river for day or two by
the depth of the stream, which is not
fordable. The banks, which are percip-
itous, are forty feet high A pontoon
and temporary bridge constructions are
under way The railway has not been
damaged to any great extent between
Kroonstad and the Rhenoster. The
Transvaalers have offended the Free
Staters by destroying their splendid
bridges when retiring to Kroonstad.
They refrained from doing this on the
retreat to the RhenOster, but now they
are destroying the railroad and bridges
almost completely north of the Rhenos-

The British troops are in the form of
a crescent with horns thirty miles apart,
with General French's cavalry on the
left within twenty-three miles of the
Vaa1, and General Ian Hamilton s
mounted men on the right within thirty
miles of the Vaal. The center of the
crescent is about forty miles from the
Vaal. Seventy or eighty miles to the
left Lord Methuen is advancing up the
Vaal.
Boer kilograms say that 5000 British
with ten guns are near Vredefort, which
is close to- the Vaal and close to Parys
One correspondent refers to the ad-
vance as a promenade" Another de-
scribes it as a "Boer hunt" The Free
Staters are pictured as "bolting like
hares' at the first sight of the British.
The latter, according to one writer, do
not even find women and children, as
the fleeing farmers take their families
with them, in consequence of the reports
current among the Transvaalers that
the British kidnap all children over
twelve years of age. The Boer rear
guard was composed of Russians, to
whom was committed the task of de-
stroying the bridges. They also looted
freely.
What the Beers are doing is an abso-
lutte mystery. The embargo upon news
out of Pretoria for the last twenty-four
hours has been complete. Such shreds
of information as the correspondents at
Lorenzo Marquee have picked up do
not illuminate the Boer designs and
dispositions further than that the move
ment toward Lydenburg continues and
that referendum on the question of
continuing the war is going on among
the Boer fighting men. 1t may be a
fortnight before the results of this sin
gular vote are fully determined.

whole gamut from assault to murder,
are 20 per cent OF the total Of crimes
committed In the country.
Against society are Is per cent of
all the crimes published in the United
States, while 10 per cent are miscel-
laneous ones which 1t Is impossible
to classify.
The proportion OF the natives to the
foreign classes and to the colored
class among the prisoners In the Uni
ted States Is interesting. 1t Is surpris-
ing to find that less than per cent. of
all prisoners are colored. Foreigners
are much more numerous In the Grim
inal courts, 80 per cent perhaps, while
IS per cent are natives.
1t Is recorded that of the total in
sane In the United Staes 7 per cent
nre colored, 2S per cent are foreign
ers and 65 per cent. natives. This, of
course, does not mean that the num-
Der of insane natives Is greater in
proportion to the population. Judged
on this basis the percentage of native
insane is smaller than among the for
eigners or colored people. IN sex
there is almost no difference, the wo-
men outnumbering the men so slight
ly that the difference Is scarcely ap-
preciable.
In the pauper wards the relation of
classes is very different. But so per
cent. of the total number of paupers
are natives, while Al per cent. are
foreigners and 8 per cent. are colored.
The women are outnumbered by the
men In the asylum throughout tho
country by ratio of A to 56.
The insane come in large proper
tions from country regions, in spite OF
the quiet monotonous life.

1t was 8 a. IN. and the morning was
very cold.
In fact it was the dead of winter.
And the winter had been one of the
coldest for years.
Joggerly was the father of twins.
Mlsfortunes meyer comes singly.
They we're six months old and they
were fretful and noisy.
Joggerly had been heard to swear at
them.
Yet he was not profane man ordi-
narily.
On the morning referred to above he
had been called from his warm bed to
attend to the twins.
This attention consisted of trotting up
and down the floor with one on each
arm.
Mrs. Joggerly was deploring the ne
cessity which brought her husband to
such straits.
Joggerly was philosophical.
After all, my dear, he said, locking
down upon them. 1t is the little things
which worry us most

saying:
We remember it,
At this the princess at last grew i'm
patient and said:
My handkerchief has fallen on the
floor, you might be so good as to pick it
up for me-
The prince took hold of the dainty
fabric with the tip Of his boot and
waved it around unconcernedly. The
princess stopped over. took the cambrlc
from his fe.t and cried angrily:
u remember it.
Thus a year passed by, and the prin.
CESS said to herself:
Things cannot 90 on in this way; an
end must be put to this somehow or
other
So she said to the prince:
v have the most beautiful garden in
the world. which l will show you to-
morrow.
But the prince smelIed his apple
again and when they were in the gar
den remarked:
1T is wonderfully beautiful here, but
IN order that we may walk beside each
other in peace and not be at all disturb
ed by our game, l beg, sweet mistress,
that you will adopt the custom Of my
court for one hour and allow your hands
to be tied down; then we shall be sure
of each other and nothing disagreeable
can happen to u.s.
The princess did not like this plan,
but he begged, and she did not want to
refuse him such tride.
They went out alone together, with
their hands tied in their belts. The
birds sang, the sun shone brightly, and
the red cherries hung down from the
trees until they almost touched their
cheeks. The princess looked at the
cherries and cried;
What pity you cannot pick any Of
those for me!
The prince answered:
Necessity knows no law took cher
ry in his mouth and offered it to the
princess.
Nothing remained for her to do but
put her mouth to his and take the cher.
ry. And as she had the fruit between
her lips, and also his kiss upon them.
she could not for moment say:
v remember it,
Then he cried Joy yously:
GOOD morning, Philopena. pulled
his hands out of his belt and embraced
her.

are alive still.
