The Lawn Party bali even last eve
ming at the Jefferson Cub was delightful
in every particular. The clue was ela5o
rate!y decorated in palms and flowers. The
ballroom was transformed into a VERT
able summer garden with the artistic dec
orations. All aoout the wal! tnll cedar
trees were arranged. From a towering
tree IN the centre lighted japanese lan-
terms were strung 70 the other trees The
scene was a beautiful one and made L fl
setting for the summer attire worn by the
alIests. Behind a screen OF palms and
trees on the stage the musicians were
stationed About midnight an elegant
supper was served and dancing was re-
sumed until late hour.

Consequently, it is not astonishing
that the people are looking for some

bility is that his next move Will be an
advance on Lyttleton's right. He would
hardly go to Lyttleton's left because
that would only lead to a fresh attack
of Spion Kop, and the range of which
1t is q part. He would not go TO the
east of Colenso except with his whole
force, less Barton's brigade. The re-
tention of Lyttletons brigade at Pot
gieter's Drift may. therefore. be taken
as proof that the new move will not be
to the east of Colenso.
East of Potgeters there are several
drifts one or two of which General Bull
ler's guns command, and he can, there
fore. cross the river, but the Beers
have had ample time to prepare posi-
tons beyond the river.
A FRONTAL ATTACK.
"a frontal attack would, as usual,
be costly. but unless the General Is
prepared for n heavy loss he has little
chance of breaking through the Boer
defenses.
THE right plan would be that adopt

Johnston's front and then extended his

Sherman was ready to move a. force

a SAD SCENE.
Mr.. Goebel was silent for moment,
then calling his brother, Arthur Goe-
bel. to his slde he asked that the ply
sicians and nurses retire. Then for
twenty minutes the dying man was left
with his brother and sister, Mrs.
Braunacker.
Late this afternoon. to the weary
watchers at the bedside. it was hppar-
ent that the end was not far off, and
Rev. DR.. Taliaferro, of the Methodist
Church of Frankfort, was sent for. He
came at once. Softly entering the death

where Mr.. Goebel lay gasping for

SUBJECTED TO SEVERE TESTS.

Truly has the patience and fortitude
OF the people of Great Britain been
subjected To severe tests. After a
nrisk rally from the staggering blows TO
the nations military prestige the peo-
pie had Il right to turn TO Parliament
Tor encouragement and Inspiration. But,
one by one the Ministers have been
unmaskcd and discredited and the
weakness of the official leaders of the
opposition has been revealed. From
every newspaper in the land has arisen
the cry that party strife must cease
ana political ambitions be laid aside,
and that the stiiled determination of Il
willing people must have rein.

thing like Sherman's manoeuvres. But
there is reason to believe that Buffers
own estimate of the Boer forces is
much higher.
WILL NOT HURRY.
Lord Roberts will not hurry his
move from tho Cape. He will first COM
plete the assembling of his forces, which
will not have arrived for another three
weeks. Then he will have transport
properly organized and in working or
der before he will start. After that he
will probab bly, make n rapid move, but
no outcry will induce him to start I'M
I'll he considers all is ready.
Last weeks report that Mafeking
had been relieved seems TO have arisen
from Colonel Plummcr's skirmish near
Crockodilc Pools. The report came
from Boer sources. and this origin OF il
seems to show that the Beers are now
sanguine of success In the northwest.
They have probably reduced their

appreciation of public feeling. There
is no hope OF the debate on Lord Ed.
