HEROIC AMID DANGERS.
English Women in South Africa Have
in Many Instances Proved
Their MettIe.

During the progress of the war in
South Africa many stories of individ
ual heroism have been told. French
man writing from Bloemfontein testi-
fies that the English women there are
remarkable for the cheerful stoicism
with which they endured the anxiety
and discomforts of recent conditions.
He INDUCES, also, in other comments
that are interesting.
"One may observe among English
women" he says, "the same thing in
the matter of graeefulness that one
notices among the men in the mat
ter of politeness. There is no mean.
Either the English woman is extreme
ly graceful, pretty, elegant and even
recherche, or else she is quite ridicu-
lous, i'll dressed, sharp-featured and
plain-the sort of woman for whom
there is no word in the French lam
guage. The great poet Heine wrote
once that a man who could see and
understand no woman was plain.
always believed him. Alas! l had not
seen certain English women, and
Heine could never have seen them
either.
IAN English woman who is pretty
and clever possesses abundant charm,
but have seen French women by no
means pretty who have made them
selves so pleasing that they were to be
preferred to classic beauties. In Eng
land, however, when woman misses
being good-looking the case is hope
less. She knows not how to walk talk,
please or narrate, and is compelled to
take refuge in heroic endurance of her
plainness."

W. |. STRONG DEAD.
Sudden Demise of n Former Mayor
of New York.

of New York.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The death OF
former Mayor William l.. Strong, which
occurred early yesterday morning after
a few hours illness at his home, II West
Fiftyseventh street, was entirely uneX-
pected and came as a great shock to his
family and friends. Mr.. Strong had been
i'll for several months.
AT the bedside when the former may
OF passed away as quietly as he had sunk
into a sleeplike stupor a short time be-
fore were his wife, his son, Major Put
nam Bradlee Strong; his daughter, Mrs.
Albert Il. Shattuck two nurses and three
old family servants.
Mr.. Strong appeared as well the pre-
vious night as he had been at any time
since his old ailment, govt, attacked him
six weeks ago and dined with the family
in the evening. He retired at II o'clock
and apparently went quietly to sleep.
Mr.. Strong, who enjoyed the distinc-
ton of being the first Republican mayor
of New York for many years and the last
executive head of the old city, was 70
years old.
William L. Strong was born in Rich
land county, o., on March %, 1927.
The greater part of his bOyhood was
passed in his native place. When he
was Is years old, his father died. He
was thus thrown, in great measure, upon
his own resources. He attended the COM
mon schools of the county. But the OPP
portunity for a college education was by
circumstances withheld from him. When
he was 16 years old, he left home to en-
ter a retail dry goods house in Wooster,
O., where he served an apprenticeship of
two years. Thence he removed to Mans
field, in the same state, where, continu-
ing in the dry goods trade, his prospects
were better In 1858 he came to this
city to enter the employ of the then
large and influential dry goods establish
ment of L. 0. Wilson & Co.
The firm suspended in the panic of
1857. Mr. Strong in the following year
entered the employ of Farnham, Dale 81
Co., which was succeeded by Farnham,
Sutton & Co. and in turn by Sutton,
Smith & Co. In December, 1869, this
last named firm was dissolved, and in
January of 1870 it was succeeded by W.
L. Strong q Co., which firm has con-
tinued to the present time.
