THE TAKING OF sp1oN Kop.

General Butler cabled to London on Tuesday saying that Spion kop would be assaulted by General Warren during the night. It was assaulted and taken. It was then held against an effort by the Boers to get it back. It is also stated that General Warren thinks that the seizure of Spion kop makes the main position of the Boers untenable. If this is so we shall probably soon have more news, and Ladysmith may be re- lieved much sooner than boastful Beers have said it would be.
 General Warren's achievement has cost the British much, but it is great gain It has given England much en- couragement, for it shows that there has been good leading and efficient fol- lowing, and it indicates that the cam paign which is now going on means business and will be carried on skill fully and relentlessy. Until there is evidence to the contrary it will be be- lieyed that the Boer position is being shaken, and that the British advance will be successful.

during which he had been deprived. Judge Thomson held that he could re- cover only for the cost of the rides that he actually had taken. and this amount ed to very little, as the man, farmer, had travelled only a few times. The case was appealed to the Supreme court and will be heard next month. If the judgment of Judge Thomson is sustain ed the man will have recourse against the company for every year in the fu- ture. It was held by the court that as the pass was to be issued annually he could not sue for supposed damages in the future, but only for those incurred in the past, Therefore, the man may travel every day next year, paying hs fare and at the end of the year he will have cause against the company for every dollar so expended.

THE RADICAL NEW ZEALA NDERS.

| The people of New Zealand don't
 seem to be afraid of themselves or of each other. Instead of being shocked and enraged when a radical talks they
 seem to be almost all radicals them-
 selves and radical enough to act. And their action doesn't seem to result as conservatives in other countries think
 such action Is bound to result. Thus in New Zealand the single tax system is working well. The State ownership of railroads yields a steady surplus.
 The telegraph is in the hands of the government and produces a handsome revenue. But most astonishing of all,
 the people of New Zealand have de- cided to cut up the big landed estates, and they are cutting them up. The were readily adopted. Under them the government has recently been buying out the great landed proprietors. That it's policy was purchase rather than confiscation shows how essentially hon orable and fair was the call of the peo- pie for the land Another circumstance which proves this is the very large sums paid for some of the properties For one just acquired there was paid $360,000 in cash and government deben- lures guaranteeing five per cent. to the amount of $1.250,OO0. All the land thus purchased is divided into small hold ings and let. The tenant really enjoys perpetual lease, but he is permitted to buy if he will. Tenants for the es- tates are readily found, and their rents suffice to recoup the government for lta outlay.
 Such things as the New Zealanders are doing are well worth the attention of the people of other more or less civil ized countries.

altogether. Certainly there is reason ableness enough in the microbe theory to forbid their further use in the street. The sheath skirt was so difficult to hold up gracefully that few could accomplish
 it. and the trouble now is that In another respect skirts are not made for holding up. Nowadays practically all the foot frilling is on the outside, and the skirt that is to be held up should make foamy fluff about the ankles
 An application of black lace from under the arm to the belt on a cloth gown may set off the figure astonish- ingly. For instance pear-shaped piece of gauge, edged with chenille scrolled on prettily, was set on the side of a bodice so that the upper point ex- tended to the shoulder seam The rounding sides at their widest extended under the arm and towards the bust, while the lower point, set little for ward, disappeared under the belt. In full front view there was zouave jacket effect without any of the bunehiness of a jacket. At the side the curve of the figure was emphasized charmingy. It needs an artistic eye to adjust such a bit just right, and if put on at an unfortunate angle the result might be very bad, FLoRETTE.

 GOOD SOLDIERS TOO

The situation in South Africa is so lively and interesting that our own war in the Philippines isn't receiving as much of our attention as it might But it is being carried on by our soldiers with vigor and success. General Schwans operations in southern Luzon have been very important and efficient. Having located southeast of Laguna de Bay what was supposed to be the last considerable force of insurgents re- maining in one command, he has man. aged, with small loss to himself and heavy loss to the enemy, to completely diesipate this force, probably beyond the possibility of reconstruction. How he and his men do business is illustrated by what happened at Majayjay. He found the enemy's position there almost but by lowering men down the steep river banks by ropes he flank ed the Filipinos and drove them out.
 With General Warren victorious at Spion Kop and General Schwan victo- rious at Majayjay the two most civil- ized nations have reason to simultane- ously rejoice.

4 OUEER L.a WSUIY.

| Queer things happen in Kansas. One of them is a queer lawsuit which was brought to recover the value of an an-
 nual railroad pass. When the Missouri
 Pacific was being built from Topeka to
 Fort Scott Colonel Everest, then the
 chief attorney, agreed to give an Osage county man an annual pass every year
 until he should die, the pass being in consideration of the mans work and in- of way. In time tine company repudi- ated the contract, holding that Colonel
 Everest had no authority to make it, and in time the man brought suit for damages, the case being tried before Judge Thomson, of Osage county. The judge held that the company was bound by Colonel Everest's contract, and then the question reverted to the amount of damages he was entitled to receive. The company set up that he was entitled to receive just the amount of money he had paid out for railroad fare to points reached by the Missouri Pacific during the time when the pass was withheld. The man set up that this was not fair measure of value, as he would have rid
 den great deal more with the pass in his possession. In fact, he swore that he would have ridden to the amount of $2 day, or $730 a year, and he asked something like $3,o00 for the four years

New weaves of velvet are es- pecially we'll adapted to such fine feath- CTS, and when an ella borately figured garment is desired, the current styles warrant the free use of embroidery.

Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, was the guest of honor on Tuesday eve- ming at the dinner of the Philadelphia Presbyterian Social Union, and he made a strong argument against the Chinese Exclusion act. Speaking of the charge that the Chinese do not aesimilate with Americans heN said: Do you mean that you want the Chinese to- change their clothing and adopt your costume? hope they will not do it. You have no idea how comfortable our clothing is. Do you want our people to do as you do? Surely you don't, do you? Be- cause if you do that is against your principles. Where are the liberty and freedom of which you boast so much? Are you to preach a doctrine to us which you do not observe? I rejoice to think that in this ancient city of America the people are more just to my people and as far as I can see they do not agree with the way the Chinese are treated in this country. In this connection I can't help acknowledging the good services rendered by the Chinese mission of this city, of which MT, Poole is in charge"

A movement of much interest to watchmakers throughout Europe has been set on foot by some of the Geneva manufacturers, who now propose to es- tabish watch market at Warsaw to facilitate trade relations. In recent years Warsaw has played an important part in the watch trade, many firms there carrying on the relations of mid
 dlemen in the negotiations between manufacturers and the dealers in the inland districts of the Russian empire. It has been the custom for the repre- sentatives of the Swiss factories to visit Warsaw once a year to meet dealers from Moscow, Tula, Saratow and even Siberia, and make contracts or consider business projects. According to the plan of the Geneva manufacturers, who have addressed the Swiss consul at Warsaw on the subject, an official watch market will be established. The

A fire alarm recently invented is a combination of the graphophone and tel ephone. In the use of the talking alarm one of the graphophone machines is placed on each floor of a building and connected with the telephone fire-alarm system. For each machine a record is prepared. For instance, the. grapho- phone on the second floor of building would contain the record, "There is a fire on the second foor,' etc. This rec ord Is then adjusted so that these words are repeated into the telephone by the expanding of a thermostat whenever a fire occurs. In this way the origin of a fire is located immediately and auto { sinatieally. The alarm also lights the electric lights in the building, sets red light blazing in front of the building to guide the f1remen and sounds the alarm into the street through giant mega phone.
