Among the few who have a perfect
genius for science is a certain well
known artist, whose reticence Is the
amusement and wonder of all who
know him. A friend who had dropped
into his studio one day was vainly
endeavoring to draw Mr.. H. into con-
versation when the artists brother ap-
pearsd in the doorway. "Hullo. Toni
said the brother. "Halloa, John!" re-
turned Tom, looking up from his easel,
with a smile. John wandered about

enough to say: well, goodbye,

warmly. to his amused friend: Il tell
you, 1 was glad to see John! Haven't

"A messenger from Klerksdorp reports
that Cronje, who commanded there. de-
termined to surrender as soon as he knew
for certain that Pretoria was in our pos
session. His example has been copied by
many in the neighborhood. Tie court
house is now said to be full of arms"
by the peaceful occupation of KIerks-
dorp the British have gained q strategic
position of some Importance, as the town
is not only the terminus of another rail
road to Johannesburg but it is within
easy reach of the Kroonstadt-V -Vierfon-

Apart from the fact that Lord Roberts
dispatch comes direct from Pretoria,
showing the telegraph line is reopened,
the only other point of interest is the
fact that the Beers, whom General Me-
thuen was reported to have so utterly
routed, have sufficiently recuperated to
attack reconstruction train.
A dispatch from Kimberley reports the

grave step.
Sir John Gordon Sprigg is experiencing
much difficulty in forming cabinet Mr..
Schreiner persisting in his refusal to
support ministry dominated by Mr..
Cecil Rhodes, owing to personal antip-

Messrs. RoseInnes and Solomon are not
inclined to accept subordinate positions in
government composed of nominees of
the South African league.
If Mr.. Schreiner is dissatisfied with the
personnel and pledges of the new minis
try, the latter will be unable to pass inn
perial measures and a dangerous dead
lock will cnsue, which may lead to
grave constitutional crisis.

Japanese Naval Programme.

Victoria, B. c., June 15.-From Japan
comes news that, in view of the propos
ed immense augmentation of the naval
forces of other powers, the Japanese
naval authorities are about to enter upon
a new naval programme. As only 5,000,-
600 yen will be yearly devoted to the
navy, men like Admiral Inouye recon-
mend the construction of torpedo boat
destroyers. This class of boats cost about
100000 yen, so that 30 destroyers can be
built for the price of one battleship. 1t
is anticipated that the new programme
will authorize the construction of torpedo
boat destroyers only.

~ TEN DEAD IN A FIRE.
Heroic Work by Policemen at Blaze
In New York

New York, June 15.-Ten lives were
lost and six persons were badly injured
in a fire which almost totally destroyed
the old five story tenement house at 81
Jackson street. There was so much con-
fusion after the fire that the identity of
some of the dead is in doubt.
The fire which proved so fatal started
in the rear of the hallway on the second
floor and had gained appalling headway
before the occupants of the house were
awake to their peril. Patrick Burns,
lodger on the second floor, was aroused
by the smoke, and he called to the three
persons who occupied the same apart
ments. They escaped to the adjoining
house by means of the window ledge,
but Burns remained until the fremen
came, when he 9eaped over the banister
after he had been badly burned.
Policeman James Knowles, whose work
was to stand out most conspicuously dur
ing the fire, to whom the tiremen give
great credit, came running up while the
alarm was being given. Following on
Knowles heels came Policemen Selleck,
Cunningham and Devlin, all of the De-
lancy street station. They gave Knowles
great assistance, but Knowles got there
first
He went through No. IS to the balcony
cornice on No. 81 and then on up the
front fire escape, the flames, which were
breaking out of the windows, licking at
his uniform coat, and Selleck, Devlin
and Cunningham at his heels.
The right hand apartment on the sec
ond floor was occupied by Mrs. Mary
Hartigan, widow, her two boys and her
little girl. Knowles broke into the
rooms, dragged all the Hartigans half
dead with fright and smoke to the win
dow, and they went down the escape as
sisted by Knowles comrades, while
Knowles went higher. He broke into
the Mulhearns' rooms on the fifth floor.
The Mulhearns, man and wife, three
children and boarder, lived here. They
got out all right, thanks to the policemen.
Fire Marshal Seery, with the aid of the
police, will hold a strict investigation
into the cause of the FIRE, but, while it is
believed to have been the work of an in
cendiary, it is thought unlikely that he
will be caught, as there are no clews to
his identity.

Wall Paper Trust May Dissolve.

Philadelphia, June 15.-The Ledger
says that movement is on foot among
the directors of the National Wall Paper
company, a combination of II wall paper
manufacturing concerns, located in sew
eral eastern cities, to secure the dissolu-
ton of the company. The paper quotes a
manufacturer as saying: "The National
Wall Paper company has found it ex-
tremely difficult in recent years to main
tain uniform scale of prices. The COM
petition in the past few years from out
side concerns has been of such charac-
ter that it has become virtually impossi-
BILE to resist it. Had we known as much
about the business in 1892 as we do now
the company would never have been
formed The impossbility of maintain
ing a uniform price against the competi-
ton with which we are meeting is the
sole reason for the proposed dissolution"
