The Sarsfield team will practice this evening and also to-mor- row evening Many of the Sarsfields' members show remarkable skill in playing the game. which for skilful playing is much harder than outdoor baseball. The battery is the only weak part of the team, but it is thought that this defect can be remedied by Tues day.
 The sailors have an excellent team and a strong following of partisans. The game Is so full of uncertainties that predictions are of little value Both teams are confident, however.

Many Loyalist Refugees Escorted Back
 to Belmont.
 Belmont, Cape Colony, Jan. 3.-Colo- nel Pitcher, it is officially announced, being only on raiding expedition, and for military reasons being unable to oc- cupy Douglas permanently, has evacu- ated the town bringing off all the loyal ists. He has now returned safely to the close proximity of Belmont.
 When he announced the necessity of evacutlng the place the inhabitants of Douglas declared that their lives were not worth five minutes purchase after the troops left. Colonel Pitcher, there fore, invited them to accompany him to Belmont, The preparations were speed fly completed, but the vehicles of the town were totally inadequate to convey the refugees so the troops gave up the transport wagons to the women and children. The Canadians acted as an escort of tho refugees, carried infants for the women and kept everybody live ly by singing as they marched along in spite of sore feet, occasioned by the heavy sand which made marching ex- tremely tiring. The force received Gen eral Buffers congra tulations on the sue cess of the expedition.

 1 Boer Camp, Colenso, Tuesday, Jan. 3, The British naval guns at Chieveley 1 Camp continue their ineffective long, range fire night and day in order to di- vert Boer attention from the movements of the troops. Federal scouts yesterday penetrated into the British camp. When returning the British pickets discovered them and wounded one Boer.

A REMARKABLE TALE
Alleged Correspondence Between Christ
 and Abgarus V of Edessa
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 London, May IA remarkable story comes from the Rome correspondent of the Daily Express, who sends an authentic fac-simile of a wonderful Doric Greek in- scription the discovery of which on the gateway of an old place in Ephesus, was announced to the members or the Archaeo- logical congress in Rome by Professor Bohrmann of Vienna university. The fac smile was submitted to Professor Murray of the British museum. He declares it to be of the highest possible importance, tend ing as 1t does to establish the authenticity of the correspondence alleged by Eusebius to have passed between Abgarus V, of Edessa, and our Lord. The letters written in Syro- -Chaldaic characters. The letter from Abgarus runs as follows:
 T have heard of Thee, of the cures wrought by Thee without herbs medi- cines for it is reported Thou restoreth sight to the blind maketh the lame walk cleanseth the leper, raiseth the dead cast eth out devils and unclean spirits and giv- eth health to those tormented with disease of longcontinuance. Hearing all this of Thee, I am fully persuaded Thou art the very God come down from heaven to do such miracles, or that Thou art the Son of God that performeth them. Wherefore l have sent Thee few lines to come hither and cure my disease.
 Besides hearing the Jews nfurmur against Thee, and continue to do Thee mischief, I invite Thee to my city, which is but a little one but beautiful and sufficient to entertain us both
 Christ's reply is thus translated:
 Blessed art thou believing Me whom thou hast not seen for it is written of Me, they that have seen Me shall not believe; they that have not seen Me shall believe and be saved.B But concerning the latter thou hast written about, this acquaint you, that all things for which was sent hither must be fulfilled; then shall be taken up and re- turned to Him that sent Me; but after my ascension I will send one of My disciples, that shall cure thee of thy distemDer and shall give life to all them that are with thee.

hind feet off the floor and hang at arms length from the stick.
 Plato is very jealous of this particular performance on the part of his chum, and never fails to slip up and tickle him on the hind feet. He will keep this annoyance up till Sock drops from the stick and climbs upon chair for protection.
 When it comes to instrumental solo Plato is an expert He will climb upon the stool and hammer the keys of the piano until the whole room resounds with the strains of what from it's lack of melody, approaches very nearly te some operas. Socrates cannot be induced to play the piano alone, but after deal of coaXing and a bit of meat, will climb upon the stool beside Plato and assist in a duet.
 Plato's best trick, and it is a rarity among cats, is to retrieve. birds wing is shaken before him, and in an instant he is alert and on his launches, waiting for it to be thrown. As it leaves his mistress hand, he bounds forward, picks it up and brings it back to her feet. He will even climb upon a chair and take it from be- hind a picture.
The age-herald., 1900-05-20

There is only one thing Plato will re- trieve and that is a birds wing. If chickens wing is used it will not do for him. Socrates will do the clown act in this piece, too. As soon as he gets the wing he will run under the lounge and stay there till he is given piece of meat to bring the wing out.
 If ePlato and Socrates are performing some of their wonderful tricks and they happen to spy through the window, three four-f footed neghbors of theirs, or hear them bark, they forget their manners and training and become just ordinary cats again. Their tails grow large with fright and they growl and jump in very un- dignified manner to the highest chair or table they can find.
 But if some of their friends of the cat family should appear, they take no notice of them until they have finished their per formance; then they are ready for a frolic.

audience in astonishment and the singers in apprehension. Just as the curtain went up she climbed on a table and struck a statuesque pose there, to the terror of everybody, for the table was rickety, the prima donna is weighty and an accident was imminent until realizing her ranger she leaped back to the stage. She wound up the bolero with a loud hurrah that startled the house. After that she fell into trouble with her hair, which was done into a gigantic pompadour, and throughout Signor Scotti's admirable delivery of the iToreador's song Calve rushed frantically around the stage hunting for hairpns. Her action completely spoiled the baritone s best scene and the rage was noticeable even through his grease paint. To add to his discontinue Calve suddenly discov- cred that she had interfered with his suc- cess and, creeping to his side, apoogeti- ,cally she kissed him. thereby throwing the audience into another roar of laugh ter.

Two Kittens, Tricks

Their names are Plato and Socrates. They are members of the cat family, and both are gentlemen. In addition they are two of the prettiest and best educated cats that ever lapped milk from a saucer. The marked ability displayed by these feline gentlemen is such that none can fail to be interested.
 ''Toe" and Sock" as they are familiarly called, are the pride and special pets of their mistress. Though she is not an animal trainer, she has succeeded in teaching her two beautiful black cats to do few tricks that are perfectly wonder ful.
 To begin with Plato his mistress will call him to her and say Now, Plato, prepare for your dinner" Plato will immediately rear upon his haunches, lick his paws clean and smooth down his glossy fur.
 A chair is then placed with it's back to the table, and a plate of meat cut in small pieces placed near it. After tying napkin

around his neck Plato is ordered to take his place at the table and eat his meal Standing upon his launches in the chair, the intelligent animal will lean over the back of the chair, take piece of meat in his paw and convey it to his mouth. This is continued until the meat has disap- peared.
 Strangely enough, however, if the nap kin is not tied round his neck before the meal Plato will at once gobble up the meat ust like any ordinary cat, and cannot be made to pick up one piece at a time with his paw.
 Next, Socrates is given a chance to dis play his talent. A stick about three feet in length is held vertically, with one end resting on the floor At the command to show his claws Sock" will stand on his hind feet, and, distending his claws as far as he can, reach up and get firm clutch on the stick. Then he will slowly lift his

has caused recurrence in some circles of the old talk about the advisability of re- moving the vermiform appendix from in- fants so that they will be immune through life from the disease. So far as was learn- ed by Mail and Express reporter who call- ed on some leading physicians there Is nothing that can be said in favor of such wholesale operating upon children. The most conclusive argument advanced against operating was that the ratio of the number of cases of appendicitis to the num- Der of inhabitants is so very small that to perform the operation indiscriminately would not be justifable
 It was pointed out that something might De said in favor of the operation if appen- dicitis was a contagious disease like small poX. Children are vaQcinated for smallpox, but the operation is simple one, wherein the knife is used simply to scratch the skln, and this does not endanger life. Nor do any of the ordinary operations on chill dren jeopardize life.
 One physician made the point that as 20 per cent. of the babies born die before the fifth year, it would be folly to perform on all an operation that requires the services Of most skillful surgeons.
 In the case previously mentioned of the healthy man who had his vermiform ap pendix removed lest at some future time he should be attacked with appendicitis, it was recalled by one physician who was seen that this man had already suffered from appendicitis and had grown well again without being subjected to the knife. It is the cohsensus of medical opinion thai
