Howard Gould and His Wife

New York. May S.-Mr. and Mrs.

on their splendid yacht Niagara for a
trip abroad. They have not announced
the itinerary, but with the Paris Ex-

bound. is believed to be their ultimate
destination.
Persons with millions tire so soon OF
the same old places on the Medit-

their own identities. The tip top end
of Norway is fiercely wild, and during
a promenade along its rugged shores
one meets no hat-tipping menials. ano
the coy traveller needs no incognito tc

and can sit down on a rock without
having someone pull it out for him.

JAC0BSDAL ENTERED
British Take Possession of Boer
Town In Orange Free State.
MILITARY POLICE PATROL STREETS.
The Utmost Order Prevails and Inhabi-
:. tants Show No Ill Will Towards
Y the Invaders.

Advices from Jacobsdal, Orange
Free State, state that Roberts troops
entered the captured town Sunday.
The utmost order prevails there.
Military police patrol the Streets
but not stick Of furniture has been
taken. A sentry has been placed be-
fore each store, and the soldiers are
allowed to enter and purchase what
they require.
Everything is SO peaceful that the
inhabitants express the utmost sur
prise, as it had been diligently re-
ported that the British occupation
meant instant looting.
Judging from the conversations OF
the inhabitants, the Free State is
weary of the war. It is openly said
that President Steyn betrayed the
people. When the latter became sat-
isfied there was no truth in the stories
of the looting proclivities of the Brit
ish, the townspeople welcomed the
troops as friends. Since the battle OF
the Modder river, the town has not
been garrisoned, but has been merely
used as hospitable depot.
When the Beers fred on the British
Wednesday, the townspeople protest
ed. Although the British she'll
ing considerably frightened the wo-
r.en, the shells were only, directed
at ridge beyond the town, which was
in,tenched.
The German hospital remains in
beautiful order. It is clean and sani-
tary, and the wounded on both sides
are equally we'll attended.
A correspondent talked with a num-
ber of the Boer wounded. and they &C.
knowledged that the British move
ments had nonpulsed the burgher
commanders. Even now, it is added,
thew are under the impression that the
sole object Eas the capture OF Jacobs,
dal. When informed of the relief Of
Kimberley, they were at first incredu.
lous and then astounded. The landros'
remains in the town.
Other advices from Jacobsdal stated
that General Cronje, with 10, 600 men,
was in full retreat toward Bloemfon'
tein with General Kelley-Kenny fight
ing the rear guard and harassing the
retreat.
The Beers captured large convoy
as q result of Thursdays fighting a
Riet river. The British casualties
were comparatively slight in view O
the tremendous bombardment. Les!
than thirty men were wounded ane
but one killed.

Enthusiastically welcomed at Kimberley

Government Takes No Responsibility For
Depredations OF Soldiers.
A Washington dispatch says: The
house committee on war claims has
reported adversely the bill for the
relief OF Eugene A. Stone, OF Green
Vile, S. G. This bill asked for an
appropriation of Sc, 9s2.50 for damages
to property by United States troops
during the war with Spain. Thereport
is of wide Importance to the south as
it defines the position Of the committee
with regard to the claim bills, hun
dreds of which have been introduced
this session from all states where troops
were mobilized and encamped.
Several of them have been offered
from Georgia, the larger number
coming from around Chickanaugs,
Athens, Americus, Albany and Savan'
nah. The report says:
1.-The idea that the Federal govern
ment is liable or ought in any view to
pay for the depredations committed by
soldiers is not entitled to serious con-
sideration. The whole claim is for
depredations committed by soldiers
during the war with Spain. The COM
mittee reports adversely and recon-
mends the bill to lie upon the table,"

interested in the Kentucky election
contest cases, appeared Thursday be-
fore United States Circuit Judge Will

that the appeals were taken.
