London, Feb. %. From John
OGroats TO Landsend there has been
cheering for the queen and a universal
singing of the national anthem. This
with mutual congratulations. is the
Britons way of celebrating the most
cheerful day of the war. Already he
is taking stock of the situation and
measuring the future. There is no
disposition to overestimate the sue
cess. The government entertains no
Illusion. As announced in the house
of commons 10000 additional troops
will Immediately go out and the eff
fective force will be kept near 200, 900.
Lord Roberts has done more than to
capture 1000 Beers and few guns.
He is within striking distance OF one
OF the Boer capitals and is master of
a large district of the Free State. He
has given shock to Boer condolences
and immeasurably restored the spirit
or his own troops. In capturing
Cronje he has taken leader whose
presence alone was worth thousands
to the Boer cause.
The best opinion here is that the
Transvaalers are certain to continue
the fight with undiminished valor, but
II Is not so certain about the Free
Staters.

Result In Shutting Or Gas.
Alexandria. Ind. Feb. 2S.-It is more
Ithan probable that in a few days the
people of Alexandria will have no fuel
for their homes. The last step taken
by the city council in the fight against
the Alexandria Gas company was to
ask that il be enjoined from operating
until it provided itself with a charter
under the new ordinance that regu-
lates prices. The purpose was to
stop the company extending its lines
until il complied with the price sched
ule fixed by the council The com
pany makes the announcement that ii
will not oppose the suit for fnjunc-
ton. which will very likely be granted
this week, and instantly every one OF
the 1900 gas fires in Alexandria will
go out.

At one of the Easter weddings all
che bridesmaids are to wear white
white mousseline de sole gowns, made
with plated ruffies, and waists trim
med with embroidered chiffon and
made with lace sleeves. They are to
carry bouquets of yellow daffodils, and
wear white hats trimmed with yellow
flowers. A good many of the brides
maids gowns will be trimmed with
flowers this year, while all are to carry
bouquets, and the idea of spring now-
ers being used for decoration is to be
carried to great extreme. Already
the florists are trying to force the
peach and apple blossoms to have
them ready in time.
A truly magnificent creature will be
the Easter bride, for her train can be
longer than ever, the material of her
gown more gorgeous and the lace of
her veil more costly.
The princess gown Will be the one Of
all others to be chosen, and one of the
most superb is made to open over an
underskirt which is mass Of real or
ange blossoms fastened on to white
net. Not all real blossoms, however.
A great many of them are made Of ar
tifcial flowers, although the original
design calls for the real flowers. but
the perfume would be too overrower-
