Hoping Now for Decisive Victory
Gen. Ciery's IIlness-Zuiuland Pro-
sected-Bocrs Said TO Have Broken n
Tacit Compact In Dragging Natives
Into tho War.
London, Feb. 15.--Intense satisfaction
continues dominant here in consequence
of Field Marshal Lord Roberts plan of
operations in South Africa, as revealed
by the dispatches published this morn
ing There was no farther news this
morning of the British advance int0 the
orange Free State or of activity at the
Modder river, but a feeling OF quiet con-
fdence prevails that Roberts and Kitch-
ener are shaping matters towards de-
cisive victory.
The st. James Gazette says: Lord
Roberts, with his own line well guarded,
and having little reason to fear the only
defense which would be deadly, viz, a
counteretroke attacking his long line as
1T swings round, will be able to force the
Beers to fight under very unfavoraule
conditions, or abandon their heavy guns
and stores"
"A dispatch to the Times from Chieye-
ley, Natal, dated Tuesday February IL,
says: General Lytt1eton mas succeeded
to the command of the Second division
during the illness of General Clery, who
is suffering from blood poisoning. Colo
MEL Northcott of the rifle brigade tenn
porarily commands the Fourth dvis-
ion"
The fears regarding a Boer attack on
Zululand are somewhat allayed by a
dispatch from Durham, which says that
column of Colonial Scouts, after a
forced march, has arrived at Eshowe.
1t is reported that they are in splendid
fighting form. They were pursued sew
eral times during the march, by the
Beers, but succeeded in repulsng them.
BOER INVASION OF zULULAND.
London, Feb 15--In the house of COM
mons to-day during the course of a re-
ply to question relative to the proba-
BILE Boer invasion of Zuuland Secretary
of State for the Colonies Chamberlain
said that the government had decided
that, if the native territories were in
vaded by the Beers the natives would
be encouraged and assisted in every way
in defending themselves.
The colonial secretary said that the
Natal ministry had notified the home
government that it could not any long
er be responsible for the peaceful atti-
tude of the Zulus, as the invasion of
their country was contrary to a tacit |
compact that the natives should not be |
dragged into the war;
A. J. Balfour, the government leader, |
dealing with the same subject and the |
possibility of employing Indian troops, |
said his former statement to the effect |
that the government would not employ |
natives in the present war was based on
the belief that, by common consent, the
war would be confined to the two Euro
pean races, adding: IF the Beers adopt
"a course inconsistent with that idea we
hold ourselves free to reconsider our
decision"

WOMEN AT PARIS.
What the Gentler Sex Will Do at the
Paris Exposition.

What the Gentler Sex Will Do at the
Paris Exposition.
1t has been asserted that the Cen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs
would be the only organization of
women to have an exhibit at the Paris
exposition, but the Woman's Christian
Temperance union is arranging for
one, and Mrs. Lucien Howe of Buffalo,
chairman of the committee of the Ma
tional Association of College Alumnae,
is getting together special exhibit
of the work of college-bred women.
Among other things this exhibit will
bring out, according to the Boston
Journal, is the increase in the teaching
force and the number Of students, COM
pairing the increase in women college
students with the increase in the num-
ber of men students, and also with the
increase in population. The develop
ment in the college curriculum, ar
ranged so as to show the relative de-
velopment of different departments, ia
vorite lines of study under the elective
system and the increasing attention
paid to the physical welfare of the col
lege girl, and the results of that care
will be shown. The rise of the woman
scholar, as shown by the holders of
fellowships and professorships, will
also be demonstrated; and records will
be shown of the work of college women,
in literature, art, science and for the
home, together with many social sta
tistics relating to marriage, divorce;
etc.

OF mysterious death ran thus: I'VE,
the jury of twelve good men and true,
duly impanelled and responsible on
our consciences, do hereby return the
following verdict on the demise of the
deceased, namely: That said corpse
came to its death through the abrupt
ceasing of his heart to perform its
natural Office, for no reason whatever
discernible by man, but solely an act
Of providence" If this was not alto
gether explicit, at least the public
knew there had been no foul play; but
what meaning could possibly be at
tached to the verdict which legal
magazine assures us was rendered,
much more recently, by Missouri
court? I'VE, the jury impanelled,
sworn and charged to inquire into the
insanguinity of Hezekiah Jones, do oc-
cur in the Affirmative" This leaves
the matter still shrouded in mystery.
Was Hezekiah, dead, an ensanguined
corpse? Was he, living, accused of
homicide, or merely of insanity? In
sanguinity is a resonant and mysteri-
GUS multisyllable that must leave the
everyday juryman in very uncertain
frame of mind.

Royalty's Dress Allowance.

An enterprising fashion writer tells
us that before her marriage the duchess
of Fife had very small dress allow
ance-about $1,000 year. Besides
yachting and everyday dresses and all
the usual costumes required by girl
of the upper classes, royal princesses
have also to wear the costly and elab-
crate dresses which their rank de-
mands at the weddings of their near
relations. They are, however, for
tunate in having stores of beautiful
laces, priceless furs and marvellous
Jewels, all of which can be used again
and again. On the whole, it may be
asserted that a frugal princess may
spend as little as $1,000 a year on her
dress, while her more wealthy and ex-
travagant sister may find her dress
bills amount to ten times that sum.

A Literary Policeman.

The news of the distressing death of
Charles Ashton, the Literary police
man." as he was called, will be re-
ceived with genuine regret throughout
the whole of Wales. Mr.. Ashton was
one of those patient plodders so nu-
merous in North Wales, where there
is much less of the rush and stress of
life than in the southern portion of
that principality. A child of the Els
teddfod, he had published an historical
work under its auspices. But the
dream of his life was to produce COM
plete and authoritative photography
of Welsh literature. Amid the pictur-
esque solitudes of Dinas Mawddwy.
where the policeman's life ought to be
a happy one and the most heinous
crime is the absence of the owners
name from card, Mr.. Ashton toiled
year in and year out on his task, corre-
spending with scholars everywhere
who were uninterested in the vast
body Of Welsh literature and were
happy to help him with notes and sug-
gestions.-London Mail.
