NEILL's MOTHER DEAD.
The Son Received the Message in Los
Angeles.

The Son Received the Message in Los
Angeles.
Mrs Isabelle Neill mother of James
Neill the actor, died in Savanna,
Georgia, September l. A telegram an
nouuCing her death was received by
James Neill just as the curtain was
about to rise at the Burbank Theater,
Los Angeles, where the NELL Company
is playing a very successful engage
ment After consultation with other
int rests, Mr.. NELL decided to continue
the engagement here, but ordered the
cancellation of a week early in Febru-
airy. so that he might attend the funeral
with his brother, Edwin H., who is the
bus ness manager of the NELL company.
In III meantime the body of Mrs. NELL
will rest i'm a vault in Savannah.
Both James and Edwin have always
been very devoted sons. When the COM
pany left San Francisco for Honolulu
last June, they decided that one of them
should stay behind with Mrs. NELL, for
fear that some accident might happen
to the steamship, and, if fatal there
would be no son to look after the moth
err Therefore Edwin visited Savannah,
while James went on as the bright star
of the famous NELL company, and gain
ed new laurels for the dramatic or
ganiZation that bears his name. Edwin
returned to the company just before it
reached Los Angeles.
Mrs. Nein was 60 years of age. She
was married in Savannah tifty-three
years ago. She was born i'm st. Marys,
Ga. Her husband, John Neill, died -four
years ago in Savannah. He had been a
distinguished officer in the Confederate
army.

John G. Maher of Chadron, who Is
reported to be raising a regiment in
this country to 60 to the Transvaal in
aid Of the Beers, when questioned in
relation to the story g~uardcdly con-
tirmed the published statements. 1t is
understood that he has the names of
1000 men who are ready to go to the
Transvaal as soon as means can be
raised to transport them thither.
The plan is to embark them as citi-
zens emigrating to that land to 60 in
to farming or the mines, and thus
avoid interruption by the federal au-
thorities under the requirements Of
international law.
1t will take about $500 per man to
take them thither, and steps are said
to be under way in New York, Chi
cago, Omaha and other cities to raise
the money. The applicants are not by
any means all Irishmen, as there arc
Americans, Germans, Swedes and other
nationalities among them, and some

Nebraska volunteers who did not como
home with his regiment from San

reimburse him for the railroad fare he
paid. The state secured subscriptions
and thus made up n purse to pay the
fare of the entire regiment. A few
members of the regiment came homo
before it started and some came stray
Cling home aftermard. The soldiers
as a rule did not make application to
be carried free when the regiment
moved, and for this eason they were
left out of the accounts. The accounts
were closed and the remainder of the
states fund was returned to the sub
scribers.
Before the accounts were closed pro-
vision was made for the return of the
soldiers who were unable to return
with the regiment on account of rounds
or sickness. General Barry has issued
a telegraphic order for transportation
for Lieutenant Wadsworth of Beatrice,
who was a member Of company Il, Full
