THE LORD OF KHARTOUM
A POOR FIGHTER.
He Made the Blunder of other Generals.
Roberts Apparently Bundled Him
OFF to Preiska.

LONDON, March 26.-Mail accounts of
the capture of General Cronje bring out
interesting points as to the rapidity with
which Lord Roberts changed his plans
when he found that General Cronje had
escaped from Magersfontein, where it
was originally intended to attack or close
in on him
Lord Kitchener was sent forward TO
intercept him. At the battle of Paarde-
berg, Lord Kitchener seems to have
shown that he is better as an organizer
than as fighter, for it was at his order
that the British infantry repeated the
blunders of other generals, attacking
intrenched Beers, who allowed the Brit
ishers to get within 1000 yards before
opening fire
AS the British had absolutely no cover
they lost heavily and uselessly, and were
compelled to fall back momentarily with
some amount of confusion, and to with
draw their transport to safe distance.
The fact makes significant COM
mentary upon the rumors that have been
in circulation of some GOODNESS between
Lord Kitchener and Lord Roberts which
is said to have accounted for the former
being sent to Prieska to suppress the re-
bellion.

Sage Advice.

It is not often that lawyer gives better advice, and asks no fee for it. than was once given by a certain Irish judge, who must have had both a sense of justice and a sense of humor. A turbulent peasant was witness in a trial before Chief Baron O'Grady. The counsel, after pesterlng him for some time, put a question to him which re- f1eeted on the witness character. sIf ye ax me that again, I'll give ye a kick" was the answer. The counsel appealed to the court, stating that an answer was necessary to his clients case, and ending up with the query. What would your lordship advise me to do?" If you are resolved to repeat the question: replied the court, eId advise you to move little from the witness. ,.

When he recoVefeu from the operation he decided that JIG part of his leg which had been taken off was dead and therefore It snoaiu be buried, and he arranged to nave funeral service.

Although this all hap pened ten years ago, MT. Murphy never neglects the sacred spot where his leg is buried. and every week he hobbies out to the cemetery, where in the sum mer time he keeps the grave prettlly decorated with flowers. His Wlsh Is that when he dies the remainder of his body shall be inferred with his leg. Murphy is veteran of the civil war, and his injuries during one of the pat ties were the indirect cause of hls nav ing the leg cut off.

Lunacy Increasing in England.

Lunacy shows an alarming growth in England. Statistics just published give 105,086 as the total of certified lunaties, an increase of 3.114 over the preceding year. This is the greatest annual in- crease recorded by over 1000. The rate of recovery also shows backward movement, from 38.S1 per cent to 36.S7 Agricultural laborers provide the larg- est proportion of lunatics, attributable to a low standard Of life and the use of strong, cheap Indian teas. Clerks furnish the next greatest proportion of lunaties. Here also hard, wearing, un- derpaid work and insufficient food is the leading cause. It is contended that the increase in lunaey is more appar- ent than real, and is due chiefly to the law regulating the notification of lu- natics, but experts agree that the stress Of modern life is the prime factor in promoting lunaey.
