A series of Evangelistic services will

erly pastor of Central Church of Christ
New York. Those who are informed in
regard to Bro. Tyler as servant of the
Christ, both as preacher and author,
will need no advertising to enlist their
interest in these meetings. But to the
general public which may not be espec-
tally acquainted with him we say the
following in regard to Bro. Tyler and
his work:
While he was living in New York he
was q member of the Board of Managers
of the American Bible Society, also a
member of the board of managers of the
American Tract Society. He was presi.
dent of the Chautauqua Union Of New
York vicinity, and President Of the
Christian Endeavor Union of New York
the year that the International Chris.
tian Endeavor Convention met there.
He is now member of the Interna-
tional Sunday School Lesson Committee
and has been for q number of years. This
committee has the selection of lessons
for more than l6 millions of children.
He was president of the American Chris.
tian Missionary Society in 1885. These
responsible and honorable positions
attest his orthodoxy and ability. Not
only has he been recognized in an Off
cial way, but, also, as popular preach
er and pleasing address services for his
large and sympathetic audiences when
ever he ministers. His evangelism is
didactical, appealing rather to the in
telligence and judgment than the emo
tional faculties.
These meetings will be rare treat to
lovers of Gods word and profitable to
all who would know more Of the Saviour
of men.
The church proposes special arrange.
ments for long services. An enthusiasts
tic welcome is extended to all the entire
public to enjoy the splendid entertain
ment and instruction. r. w. CASTOR.

sight of Mafeking The advance guard, under Colonel White, encountered a large body of Boers, and almost simul- taneously the left and right Hanks were attacked, and sharp fighting followed. The Boers were in crescent formation, and outnumbered the British two to che. They advanced with skill and stubbornness and persistently endeav- ored to encircle the British. After hold ing his ground for an hour, Colonel Plumer retired, with the Boers slowly following him up.
 The fighting continued throughout the ten miles retreat to ,Ramathlabama, where the British Maxim was brought into play. After stiff fight, Colonel Plumer reached his camp. The British casualties were: Killed, 3 officers and 7 men; wounded, 3 officers and "A men; missing. Il. The Boer loss was serious.
 At the conclusion of the fight General Snyman informed Colonel Baden-Powcll that he had some British wounded, and both Baden-Powell and Plumer sent ambulances. The Boers were also busy Sunday collecting their dead and wounded. Most of the British wounded were OHIy SIlSHtly HuIl. Coloiei I lu- mer was wounded, but was able to car ry out his duties.
 While the ambulance was still at Ramathlabama, General Snyman, with 800 men and three guns, arrived there, and, finding no British troops in the vicinity, returned to Mafeking.
 It is reported here that the advance guard of Lord Methuen's relief force has left Vryburg for Mafeking.

INTERNAL REVENUE NOTICE
Sent Out to Dealers in Tobacco, Snuff
 and Cigars.

Sent Out to Dealers in Tobacco, Snuff and Cigars.
 The following notice was sent out yesterday from the local office of inter- nal revenue to manufacturers and deal-
 CTS in tobacco, snuff and cigars; Dealers in tobacco when they buy or resale in any manner other than in the full package, put up, stamped, branded and marked by the manufacturer, vio- late internal revenue laws.
 Section No 3392 provides how cigars shall be put up by the manufacturer and when sold for resale the law pro- vides penalty of not more than $1,00O and imprisonment for not more than two years if they are sold in any other way than in the manufacturers original and unbroken package. " This section, however, provides for the sale at retail only, by retail dealers only, from the manufacturers package, and the retail dealer, at his place of business, is the only one who can break or sell from a broken box, and he cannot make sales except in full boxes when the cigars are bought from him to be sold again.
 Failure to destroy stamps as soon as the box has been emptied makes one liable to the penalties of the law, and the same is true if other boxes than those originally placed there by the manufacturer are placed in partially filled box.
 Tobacco and snuff, like cigars. can only be purchased by the retail dealer in packages put up by the manufactur- CT or importer, in kind, character and size as prescribed by law, properly stamped, marked and branded, and the stamps must be immediately destroyed by the owner or person in whose possess sion 1t is when emptied and. like cigar boxes, these packages cannot be again refilled. Section 3363 permits retail deal CTS only to sell at retail only and not for resale tobacco and snuff, like cigars, from the manufacturers packages, but if for resale 1t must be in 1.-the manufac- turer's unbroken package
 Peddlers can sell only in the manu- lecturers duly stamped, branded and marked original packages, and they vi- olate the law if they sell broken pack ages or peddle without qualifying as a peddler by giving bond in the sum of $500 and statement to the collector, and obtain the collectors certificate be- fore doing any business.
 This office is not required by law to send out this notice and it non-receipt will afford m relief No f,rtbo, ,,o tice will be given regarding the require ments, as all persons should inform themselves regarding the laws govern ing the same before they become engag- ed in it.
