The lecturers B1under.

One of the institutions of New York
that are praised by all the public with
out reserve is the course Of free lee
lures in the public schools. These lee
lures are given before splendid audi
ences and, as rule, by persons Of
veracity and intelligence. Occasion
ally, however, in order to get lecture
on rare subject great risks are run.
Recently a lecture was given by a
person who had been on an excursion
to the North cape. Among other Won
derful things he saw there was the
eclipse of the sun. He gasped for
breath as he told of the weirdly grand
sight. He told Of the streamers Of fire
that blazed from the obscured orb to
all quarters Of the heavens. But his
frenzy carried him too far for public
school audience, for he declared that
among the stars made visible in the
midst of day he saw the planets cir
cling in their courses. He even called
the planets that he saw by name, but
he made fatal mistake. He said he
saw Neptune.
This statement called for round of
sarcastic applause that he mistook for
commentator, for he smiled in a hap
by way as it echoed through the halls.
Evidently he did not know that Nep-
tune is invisible except with the most
powerful telescope.-New York Mail

Tom White had quite mishap, at
the Station, last Sunday evening. He
drove his buggy to church and hitch
ed his horse to telephone pole and
when he went out to 60 home he
found that the old horse had laid
down on the buggy thills and mashed
them all to pieces. What was they
to do? The buggy was broken beyond
repair, so they concluded to walk
home, but those who saw them say
that they did not seem to mind the
distance they had to go one bit.

LITTLE SHOW OF DEFENSE
French and Hamilton Pass the
River Without Firing a
Single shot.
Indications That There Will
Be a Pitched Battle at
LaingS Mex.

LONDON, May 2S.-The war Office
publishes the following from Lord Rob.
erts:
"Vereeniging, Sunday, May Give
crossed the Vaal this morning and are
now encamped on the north bank. The
advance troops which crossed yesterday
were only just in time to save the coal
mines on both this and the other side of
the river from being destroyed. Our
casualties were four"
When General Roberts wrote the
above, his first dispatch on Transvaal
territory, he was 81 miles from Johan.
nesburg and n from Pretoria. His i'm
mensely superior force had safely
passed the Vaal river, their last great
natural obstacle, without opposition.
The Vaal river forms bend of eight
miles from Parys to Zand Drift. The
Beers retreated almost without show
of defense. General French and Gen.
eral Hamilton apparently
Did Not Fire a Shot.
Of Lord Roberts immediate force II
men belonging to the Eighth mounted
infantry were the first to ford the river.
They came upon Boer patrol looting
at Villjoen's Drift and a skirmish last
ing 10 minutes followed. Two hun
dred Beers tried feebly to hold the We
reeniging colliery, but they were dis
lodged. The Boer rear guard is at Moy-
erten, 10 miles south of Vereeniging.
The main body is moving toward the
Kip river hills that cover the south
side Of Johannesburg.
Indications are that there will be
pitched battle at Laings Mex, where
General Butler faces the Beers, rein
forced to an estimated strength Of from
5000 to 10000. The reinforcements in
clude large part of the Ladybrand and
fresh commanders from Pretoria. Gen.
eral Buffers officers are doubtful Of the
ability of the Beers to display the same
tenacity as in the fighting at Lady
smith. The British are confident that
when the moment arrives they will be
able to force the pass.
