What ola Sawyer said

an majority In Wisconsin and was
quite sensitive OH that subject.
During the Garfield campaign I was
sitting one day 10 his simple office at
Oshkosh when gentleman, then un-
known. but now occupying prominent
position In public affairs, appeared
with a letter Of introduction from Mar.
shall Jewell Of Connecticut, chairman
Of the Republican national committee,
who stated that the bearer had been in.
structed to visit Wisconsin for the pur.
pose OF making a report upon the po-
litica1 situation and the prospects Of
the Republican ticket. This pricked
the old mans pride. He resented, in
his good natured way, the invasion of
his territory, and l noticed that his
face flushed as he read the letter. Aft.
er looking out Of the window for few
moments he looked at his watch, hand.
ed back the letter Of Introduction to his
surprised visitor and remarked with
elaboration:
"There's train leaving here ut s
o'clock that will get you into New York
day after tomorrow morning, and I'll
send up one Of my boys to see that you
get aboard. When you get to New
York, you tell Jewell that old Sawyer
read that letter and said there was
nothing for you to report on. You
might add, however, that old SAWYER

struwberry Fishing 1. Chile.

Strawberry NlSn1n8 "A Oo4SOs g4
A singular custom prevails In Chile
which iii these days of aseptic pre-
cautions will cause shudder among
those who see infection lurking In ev-
cry detail Of life. It is called straw
berry fishing and Is conducted In this
fashion: r.. ~
At the close Of a dinner the cloth Ia
removed. and there is placed upon the
table I'm immense bowl into which are
emptied half a dozen bottles Of Bor-
deaux wine, four Of cherry and two OF
I'm, besides sugar and nutmeg. Into
this mixture is put a very large straw
berry, which floats upon the surface.
The bowl is provided with two han
dies. These are used to lift the vessel
and tilt it so that the strawberry may
be brought near the edge and sucked
into the mouth. This would appear an
easy feat, but It is difficult one, %
the fruit rolls over when touched with
the lips. The contestant in the effort
swallows a considerable quantity OF
the liquid connection.
This is the reason for the game, for
the bowl is passed from one to the 9th
er many times in succession before the
strawberry is captured. When that
moment finally arrives, all of the
guests have reached q ripe stage of
hilarity. This is the game as it ID
played among the higher classes.
Among those of a lower social standing
the fiery liquor Of the country is sub.
stituted for wine. With them straw
berry fishing develops into function
compared to which a nghting mixed
ale party in this town is the recreation
of a group of peace seeking Quakers'
New York Sun.

LONDON, June 8.-The war Office has
received the following from Lord
Roberts:
"Pretoria, June 5.-Just before dark
yesterday the enemy was beaten back
from nearly all the positions they had
been holding and Ian Hamilton's
mounted infantry followed them to
within 200 yards of Pretoria, through
which they retreated hastily.
"De Lisle then sent an officer with q
flag of truce into the town demanding
the surrender in my name. Shortly be-
fore midnight was awakened by two
officers of the South African republic,
Sandberg, military secretary to Com
mandant Botha, and a general officer
of the Boer army, who brought letter
from Botha proposing an armistice for
the purpose of settling the terms Of
surrender.
II replied that would gladly meet
the commandant general the next morn

cuss any terms Us to
The Surrender of the Town,
which must be unconditional. I asked
fer reply by daybroak, as had or
dored the troops to march into the town
as soon as it was light. In his reply
Botha told me that he had decided not
to defend Pretoria and that he trusted
women, children and property would
be protected.

the line of march I was met by three of
the principal officers with flag of

the town.
1T was arranged that Pretoria should
be taken possession Of by her majesty's
troops at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
"Mrs. Botha and Mrs. Kruger are

British prisoners have been taken away,
but the majority are still at Waterfall.
Over 100 of the officers are in Pretoria.
