Especial Correspondence1


AS was foreshadowed in these COL
umns several weeks ago, the govern
ment of Great Britain has been
forced, by recent events in South
Africa, to mobilize it's entire reserve
and to call upon the volunteer corps of
the United Kingdom for service away
from home. Had anyone suggested
two months ago that such desperate
steps would be necessary to hold the
farmers of the two little Boer republics
in check he would have been written
down visionary or a fool.
Surface observers forgot that the
Beers did not engage in this unfor-
tunate war for purposes of conquest,
but, as they firmly and honestly believe,
for the defense of their homes and their
liberty. A brave people actuated by
such motives-even though they may
be exaggerated-becomes an enemy not
to be despised in any circumstances.
And when such patriotism is supple
mented by rare bravery, warlike skill
and complete military equipment it is
a match for any power, no matter how
great, rich and powerful.
The British reverses at Ladysmith,
Stormberg, on the Modder river and at
Tugela ferry were not accidents. It
may be true, as some British authorities
assert, that they were due to the inef-
fectlveness of British artillery; but
even admitting this rather lame ex-
cuse each of the engagements men
toned proved the Boer leaders to be
more efficient generals than their Euro
pean antagonists. In every instance
the British troops walked deliberately

The temperance workers Of this coun-
try do not know how men live in the
national capital, or they would make q
demand for a reform which il greatly
needed. They should compel their rep
resentatives to Danish from the house
and senate restaurants the poisoned
cup. Wines, beer, ale, whisky and
other Intoxicating drinks should not be
sold in those places. Senators and rep
resentatives ought to be able to spend
the four or five hours of their daily ses-
sions without stimulants of that char
acter. Moreover, the pages and other
employees ought not to have open ac-
cess to alcoholic poison while they are
on duty in the capitol building.
There is congressional temperance

NEWS WITHOUT PRINT.
Paris and Is the Most Ingenious
Invention in Journalism.

TO give all the news without line
of printing is the purpose of the Stereo
Revue, the latest and most ingenious
invention in journalism. Three young
Frenchmen, Messrs. Benquiet, Bouf-
far and Pimbert, have realized this idea
in the following manner: From the
central Office in the Rue de Provence
Photographic reporters are sent out all
over Paris and its environs, as we'll as
to the departments and foreign coun.
tries where anything is happening of
general interest to the public. Each
one of these reporters is furnished with
a verascope or instrument for pho.
tographing on glass the double mega.
tives necessary for stereopticon slides.
They take equally well pictures of
street accidents, fires, races, automo-
bile competitions, trials in court,
scenes at the theater, etc., etc., and
when their supply is complete they re-
turn to the Office where the glass mega
tives are retouched very skillfully and
used to make a series of double photo
graphs or transparent positive films
printed on single roll which consti-
tutes one number of the Stereo Revue.
Every subscriber receives a small ster-
eoscope on the payment of his first
subscription, and twice month a roll
Of from 20 to 25 pictures, which he fas-
tens to the stereoscope and, by means
of knob, turns before his eyes, re-
vealing with striking reality scenes of
which the newspaper descriptions can
give but comparatively meager sug-
gestion.
Messrs. Benquiet, Bouffar and Pim-
bert have so far perfected this process
of reporting that, while in reality seat
ed at home with only delicate modern
machine before one, one needs color
alone to complete the illusion of being
present at diverting, interesting and en-
listing occurrences in all parts of the
world.
The same ingenious editors have pre-
pared supplementary rolls where all
the interesting places in journey
through the Lourain, along the Riviera,
in Switzerland or elsewhere are pic
tured.
The Paris police have given every aid
possible to to the founders of the
Stereo Revue, who are thus enabled to
take pictures of things hitherto un-
photographed, and their subscribers,
wit hout the trouble of reading, need
only lift their eyes to become acquaint-
ed with what is going on in the world.
An American edition has already been
proposed.-Cleveland Leader.

most notable being the battle OF
Kandahar, in 1880. He was at that
time commander of the British forces
in Afghanistan. In July he received
news of the defeat of Gen. Burrow
by the redoubtable Ayoub Khan.
Roberts at once marched to the re-
lief of Kandahar and in a campaign
of three weeks wiped out the rebel
lious Afghan acmy. On his return ta
England he was the lion of the day.
He was presented with the freedom
of the city of London, thanked by
parliament and made baron of Kan
dahar and Waterford. Later he
served in Natal and the Transvaal and
commanded the troops in the Madras
presidency from 1881 to 1885, when
he was elevated to the chief command
of all the forces in India-in which
post he was succeeded by Gen. White,
who is now bottled up at Ladysmith.
Lord Roberts, familiarly known to the
rank and file as 'Bobs," is 6S years
of age. He was born at Cawnpore,
India, educated at Elton and Sand
hurst, and entered the army at 10,
going to Bengal. He served with dis
tinction through number of cam
paigns in Africa and India before
achieving his great fame at Kanda-
har, and during the Sepoy mutiny
earned the Victoria cross for saving
number of men. Since 1895 he has
been in command in Ireland, post
next in Importance to that of COM
mander in chief. His opponents-and
they are not few-express grave
doubts as to his ability to conduct q
brilliant campaign in South Africa,
and assert that his total inexperience
with civilized fighting methods will
lead to repetition of reverses.
Gen. Lord Kitchener, Field Marshal
Roberts chief of staff, was made
baron of Khartoum in 1898 as re-
ward for his services in Soudan where,
as sirdar of the Egyptian troops, he
destroyed the power of Mahdism and
its attendant evils. Gen. Kitchener,
who is now 40 years of age, entered
the army as lieutenant in 1871. Three
years later he joined the survey of
western Palestine under Capt. Conder.

he was placed. upon an express train,
bound for Iowa. He also had money
in his pocket to buy food on the way.
He reached his old home, and died.
He was buried with military honors.
That man possessed talents which
should have shone as the stars, but
he died drunkard.
There was a congressman here from
Indiana who served seven terms; IA
years in all. During the last three
years he was never sober. He was
an orator of renown in his state, and
his public speeches in the congress
were models of excellence. When his
career was drawing to close, he Sc
cured employment for three daugh-
ters in the government departments;
and then he died, drunkard. His
three daughters are still in office here,
growing old and gray. Their fathers
weakness made them shun society,
and hence they never married. Can
they be proud of his memory? Men
who bury their talents probably never
think of their offspring, nor of their
suffering wives.
There came to congress a young man
from Pennsylvania, only few years
ago. He served only one term. At it's
conclusion he said to the narrator: II
spent $4,000 in securing my election. 1
have spent $50, 900 in riotous living dur
ing the past two years. Now am go
ing back to private life. My father was
a frugal Pennsylvania Dutch farmer,
and he left me good fortune. There
is considerable of it left yet. For the
sake of showing my honor for his men,
ory I am going to practice law, keep
sober, and replace the money which 1
have squandered."
There is hope for him, because he has
kept his word for eight months, and
was recently married to an estimable
woman who will help him keep that
VOW. Fortunately for him, his talents
are still bright, and he may be heard
from in the future.

WOMAN'S IDLE TEARS.
The Modern Heroine of Fiction IL
No Longer a Weeping
Weakling.

What has become of woman's tears.
idle tears? A cynical old bachelor late
~ remarked in the hearing of a woman
that he wondered what had become of
all the crying members of her sex. He
said that he had not seen a woman cry
in some years, and that, so far as he
could see, there are just as many things
to cry over as there ever were, and just
as many women. He did not object to
the absence of tears; he only wondered
about it.
This thing has received attentions of
various kinds before now. 1t was first
noticed in the novels. The young wom-
an in modern fiction does not do nearly
SO much weeping as she used to do. To
be sure, she has not always so much
excuse for it. When a young lady was
carried away by a fierce and determined
lover whom she did not want, and told
that unless she married him at once her
family and all her immediate friends
would be killed, there was really con-
siderable excuse for tears and swoons
on her part. This type of heroine -four
ished in the beginning of the present
century. She was followed by the hero
inc who cried as child does to get
something she wanted-and usually
got it, if it happened not to be the moon
or anything equally unattainable.
Sometimes she was young lady of
religious predictions and shed tears
over the sorrows of others, or over her
estimated by careful statisticians that
Miss Ellen Montgomery, heroine of
''The Wide, Wide World," must have
shed at least five gallons, two quarts and
one pint of tears in the course of her
adventures in two volumes. But the
young lady in the modern work of fic-
ton does not cry. If she is of pas
sionate nature she now and then "bursts
into storm of sobs," out she does not
often do it, as old-fashioned people
would say, "before folks" She is more
likely to preserve a calm and more or
less uncomprehended silence. Another
type of modern heroine~is the CHEEKY
girl who endures all her tribulations in
silence, or laughs about them, and is
the sunshine of the>family circle while
her heart is secretly breaking. Itmust
be confessed that this type of young
lady would be considerably more to the
taste of the ordinary man than the old
fashioned type of fearful patience. The
"man's woman"-courageous, gay, toll
Grant and reserved as, to her private
feelings-is coming to the front in fic-
ton, and this ideal is decidedly worth
studying by the noyel-reading girls of
to-day.-Chicago Chronicle.
