handed, for there were no burghers to de-
fend 1t. Whatever l may think of their
officers, no one admires the courage, good
humor and discipline Of the English pri-
Yates and their noncommissioned officers
more than myself.
But, knowing what 1 did of how they wera
acting at Waterfall, and the temper. or loss
of it, of the men there, I confess 1 consid-
cred their near presence to Pretoria a much
more serious menace to the town than the
advancing army of 5000 disciplined men.
When Roberts reached Johannesburg, and
his arrival at Pretoria within the next few
days was obviously inevitable, our Consul.
Adelbert s. Hay. asked the Government
that he might be allowed to take twenty
OF the British officers from their camp to
the Tommies' camp at Waterfall. He ar
gued that II they resumed command over
their own men they could soon get them
in hand and that no outbreak would follow.
It was a most timely and excellent idea.
It saved the English from the modification
which they might possibly have felt had
the prisoners run amuck before Roberts ar
rived, n also allowed the shopkeepers and
householders OF Pretoria to sleep in peace

I called at President Kruger's house a few
hours before he left Pretoria for Machado-

with a better spirit. The Secretary Of War
had asked me to come to the Presidents
cottage to witness the presentation OF a
message Of sympathy signed by $500 Phil
sdelphia schoolboys.
1t had been brought to Pretoria that
morning by a boy 16 years old named Jimmy
Smith. belonging to the messenger service
Of New York City. If ever the President
needed sympathy he needed it then, three
hours before he was to cav his capital and
seek refuge in the mountains. and, although
he was in the confusion Of departure and
giving last orders to his Cabinet officers and
Generals, he found time to receive the ad-
dress and to be civil to the boy who pre-
scented IL.
In one way the arrival Of any message of
sympathy at just that moment was most
opportune; from another point of view 1t
was almost too opportrne. The message
had been sent by the boys to express sym
pathy with a man who, at the time it was
written. was fighting VIGOROUSLY for a
cause that their sympathy was with. But
1t arrived when the cause was a lost one
and SO 1t seemed as though their SYM

On April Is, 1900, eight hundred
(8OO) insurgents under command Of
Padre Gregois Aelipay, a notorious

Gen. Tinio, attacked this Post.
Among them were about one hun

only had thirty (3O) men with whom
to oppose them. It was a fierce
fight. The action closed at seven

hundred and eighty (19O) killed and
one hundred and eighty five (185)
wounded. The native officials, their
families and as many others as pos.
sible were crowded into the church
and the. convent, in which latter
building my detachment is quartered
and many hundred of women and
children were standing or sitting
about the public plaza. At las p.
m. about sixty 900 insurgent rifle
men worked their way up within
short distance of the plaza to the
edge OF the town. using the rice dykes
as cover and their fire became dan

To hear the monopolistlc press
talk one would think that all the
mass of the people want is a chance
to work. This IS the view of the
bondholders and the man who owns
the money. He doesn't work, but
if other people are permitted to
drag out their lives in hard labor
they ought to be content. A man,
ia their eyes, who has an ambition
to be something besides a mere
slave to manual labor, is a calamity

A JOINT SCHOOL,.

There has been much trouble the
past winter over admitting non-resi-
dents to the Montpelier schools.
The principal objection to their
coming in has been that the build
ings would accommodate no more
than the residents, and were crowd
ed even at that.
1t would be largely to Mont
pelier's interest if all the non-resi-
dent scholars who wish, could be
Accommodated in our schools. 1t
would bring great many people to
this city every winter to reside dur
ing the school term. Most of these
non-residents would in time buy Oh
build their own homes here. Those
who didn't would rent. Thus the
value of real estate and houses
would be advanced, the business Of
the city be increased and the pres
tage of Montpelier be greatly en-
hanced. But before this can be &C
complished more school room viii
have to be provided.
To begin with, Montpelier needs
a high school, and needs it badly
TO accommodate this high school,
and at the same time relieve tht
other school buildings, a joint build
ing should be provided for, to b
erected about the central part OF
town. Into this building the high
school and all the advanced grade,
of the present schools should be
placed, This would leave thc ole
buildings to be occupied by the lit
tie folks who live close to them,
while the larger scholars could easi
ly reach the central building from
any part of town.
To bring this about it would be
necessary to consolidate the two
school districts of the city, and
ask the next Legislature to make
them an independent district. This
could be done without hurting any
body. The districts are about in
the same shape financially, and
both are in good condition in this
respect. Let the new district build
the new building and when com
pleted Montpelier would be in shape
to take care of all non-residents,
either free or by charging tuition,
Everyone would profit by this ar
rangement and the cry of "crowd
ed schools" would be at an end. Tc
accomplish this the EXAMINER
would like to see the trustees of the
two districts get together and can
vass the matter thoroughly.
