bers Around the GarrIsOn--Attack
Weak Points-French Compelled
to Retreat.

London, Jan. General Butler sends
the following from Frere Camp:
This from White: Attack renewed.

ent, but they are still around me in great

able. The sun has failed and | can not
get further information from Ladysmith
until tomorrow.
London, Jan "a dispatch to the
Daily Chronicle from Frere Camp says:
Saturdays bombardment of Ladysmith
was the heaviest yet recorded. All the
heavy guns were working and the Beers
seemed to be pouring in shells from every
available lighter gun.
1T lasted fully four hours and must
have meant either sortie by the Brit
ish or a determined attack on the gar
rison by the Beers. Our shells could be
seen falling on UmbulWhana hill and the
enemy We're replying Beside the can
non reports there were sounds indicating
smaller pieces Of artillery i'll action. The
fighting must have been at closer range
than has been the case up to now.
Our naval guns at Chieyeley sent their
usual fire into the Boer trenches, but
there has been no further movement
here"
London, Jan. GA special dispatch
from Frere Camp dated January 7, says:
General White photographs that he de-
feated the Beers this morning. They crept
up SO close to the defending forces that
the Gordon Highlanders and the Man
chesters actually repulsed them at the
point OF the bayonet,'

London, Jan. 9.-The war office has
just published the following bulletin
from General Butler;
''Frere Camp, Jan. 9.-The following Is
from White:
IAN attack was commenced on my
position, but was chiefly against Caeser $
camp and Wagonhill The enemy was in
great strength and has pushed the attack
with the greatest courage and energy.
Some OF the entertainments on Wagon
hill were three times taken by the enemy
and retaken by us.

cupied by the enemy the whole day, but

The troops have had very trying time
and have behaved excellently. They are
elated at the service they rendered the

soon as the lists are completed.

Quiet at Lady smith.

London, Jan. lO.--Fmther news Of
General Whites victory is anxiously
awaited, as it is generally realized that
there was little warrant for the exulta.
ton which followed the announcement
OF his repulse of the Beers The remark
able revelation in Boer tactics has been
another complete surprise TO the British,
who had not reckoned on the weakened
garrison Of Ladysmith being subjected to
such a courageous assault and it is real
lied that General Whites troops can not
be expected to greatly prolong such an
arduous defense. In some quarters it IS
considered unaccountable that Butler did
not press the passage of the Tugela while
the Beers were engaged northwards and
comments on his apparent supineness are
noWise complimentary.

Elias vaughan's Death.

Elias Vaughan, for twenty years sex
ton of the Presbyterian church, of this
place, died April 26th., 1900, aud was
buried the following day from the col
ored NJ. E. Church. He was colored
man OF exceptional character, winning
and retaining the kindliest feelings oi
the white people of Grenada as well as
the friendship Of those Of his own rsce
The very fact OF his having been SC
long the faithful and always satisfacto-
ry sexton OF the church before men,
toned, is An evidence Of his worth and
fidelity to which all the members OF
that congregation bear willing testi-
mon,. For thirteen years he was en-
ployed by Mr.. J. W. Griffis, one OF our
leading citizens, who said OF him: HE
was always prompt TO his duties and
thoroughly reliable in every respect"
Elias was a good christian and lived In
accordance with his belief. He was
buried in the Colored Cemetary, east
Of Odd Fellows, in the presence OF
many colored friends and quite a num-
Der OF white citizens. He was broth
er-in-law Of E. L. Petebone, one OF our
best and most honorable colored citi-
zen.

Suicidal Ventilation.

Some fanatics on the ventilation
question think they must freeze them
selves with wintry air, chill their
marrow with boreal blasts, and drench
their skins with flying mists in order
TO insure proper ventilation OF their
sleeping rooms. Such zeal is suicidal
as well as unnecessary. When the
wind is raw or the air heavy with
moi sture, it is not wise 10 throw out
side doors and windows open wide; at
any rate, not while the room is occu-
pied. One room can be aired well
enough by allowing outer drafts TO pass
through another room warmed by FIRE.
Such method should be followed
when airing the apartment occupied by
an nvalid.-The Illustrated Youth
and Age
1t is worse than suicidal. In some
instances it is murderous, for it entails
misery and fatal illness upon some
people who do not believe in and who
clearly see the danger of such extrems.

Ito sport. One day the report spread
through Evanston that q vessel had
been wrecked OF South Evanston and
that many lives werc in peril. Young
Hartzell, with many otherse went TO
the scene. There he found that moth
ing was being done to rescue those In
peril and no one seemed to be able to
do anything. for the waves were too
tempestuous for a boat to ride them
Hartzell saw that only one thing was
to be done He partly stripped. tied
rope around his waist, plunged into
the waves and by heroic efforts saved
four lives. His herolsm was approprl-
ately recognized when in a mass meet
ing of citizens he received a memento
which he prizes to this day as one OF
his most precious possessions. Two
years ago one OF the men whom he
saved introduced himself to the bishop
In Chicago. They had not met since
the day of the wreck.
Soon after graduating. Mr.. Hartzsll
succeeded DR.. John p. Newman (later
bishop. in 1870, as pastor of the NJ.
z. church in New Orleans. Early In
his work in New Orleans Mr.. Hartzell
started at his own expense the South
western Christian Advocate. This pa
per was power in reconstruction days
and great educator to the negroes
just emerging from slavery. After
some years the paper was turned over
to the church and is now published by
the Methodist Book Concern
Mr. Hartzel's interest in the educa-
ton of the negro soon attracted at
tention aud he was elected member
of the New Orleans School board
Through the city schools and the
schools OF the Freedmen's Aid Society
OF the Methodist Episcopal church, in
which he was appointed assistant to
the distinguished DIR r. S. Rust. Mr..
Hartzels helped to shape the educa-
tional policy of the city and the state
In 1888 DR.. Hartzell was elected 10
succeed Or. Rust as secretary, the con-
trolling official. OF the Freedmen's Aid
society, society which controls forty
seven colleges and other schools. To
this position he was reelected in 1892
and 1896.

Near Ayuthia, formerly the capital
OF Siam, is a curious labyrinth in
which elephants are captured alive.
The labyrinth is formed by a double
row OF immense tree-trunks set firmly
In the ground, the space between them
gradually narrowing. Where 1t be-
gins, at the edge of the forest, the
opening of the labyrinth is more than
mile broad, but as 1t approaches
Ayuthia 1t becomes SO narrow that the
elephants cannot turn around Tame
elephants are employed to lure Wild
ones into the trap. Having reached
the inner end Of the labyrinth, the
tame elephants are allowed to pass
through a gate, while men lying in
wait slip shaekles over the feet OF the
eaptives. The sport Is a dangerous
one, as the enraged elephants some
times crush their would-be captors I'M
der their feet.

to do with the future OF the dark con-
tinent.
No statesman of England or Europe.
or even of Africa itself, is better in
formed in regard to Africa than is he.
for he has read all the standard books
by accepted authorities. has consulted
with governors. explorers, merchants.
miners and all other classes OF men.
from the highest to the lowest, who
make up the controlling population
and by personal observation has
learned much that could not otherwise
have been known.
In the future of Africa, Bishop Hart
zell will In all probability be an inn
portant factor. On that continent. as
In other parts of the world, the Chris
tian missionaries, among whom have
been Robert Moffatt, David Living
stone, Alexander Mackay, Bishop Han
nington and others well known, have
exerted powerful civilizing and edu-
eating influence and they will continue
to do so in the future upon the 150.-
ooo'ooo OF savage natives. But they
VIII also influence very largely the
white millions who will before many
years populate the southern portion OF
the continent. and divide it into great
republics. free from European oppres-
sion.
Bishop Hartzell was a distinguished
man before he became bishop for ART
ca, for which he was prepared by his
previous life-work. He was born near
Moline. ILL.,, fifty-six years ago.
In young manhood Bishop Hartzell
entered Garrett Biblical institute at
Evanston, Ill, as student. to prepare
for the ministry. AS boy he had be-
come an expert swimmer, and Lake
Michigan furnished him a fine oppor-
tunity for the enjoyment OF his favor
