Dec. 17.-Lord Kitcsner


rep{ St. after severe fighting at
\. hit, General Clements forces
VI led to retire by Commands
nts9elarey, with a force of 2. 300 men.
Five British officers were killed. The
other casualties were not reported.
Lord Kitchener's official dispatch to
the war Office is as follows:
ssPretoria, Dec. 15.-Clements' force
at Nooitgedacht, on the Magalies'
Berg, was attacked at dawn today by
Delarey, reinforced by Beyer's conn
mando from Warmbath, making q
force estimated at 2, 500. Though the
first attack was repulsed. the Beers
managed to get to the top of the Mag
alies' Berg, which was held by four
companies of the Northumberland fusi-
liers, and were thus able to command
Clements camp. He retired on HEX
poort, and took up position on hill
in the center of the valley.
"The casualties have not been COM
pletely reported, but the fighting was,
very severe, and deeply regret that
Colonel Legge, of the Twentieth hus-
sars, and Captains MoBean, Murdoch
and Atkinson were killed.
Lord Kitchener also reports that the
Beers made an attack and were re-
pulsed at Lychtenberg. and that Gen.
eral Lemmer was killed. Attacks
upon Bethlehem and Vrede were also
repulsed, the Beers losing 10 killed and
ID wounded. Yryheid was attacked
Decent Der II. Shipping continued
when the message VIZ dispatched.
The scenes at the war Office today
recall those witnessed in the early
stages of the war; A constant stream
of excited people filled the lobbies, all
seeking details of the disaster. The
absence of the names of any OF the Off Z;
GERS of the Northumberland fusiliera
in General Kitchener's dispatch leads
to the foreboding that the four COM
panies of the fusiliers mentioned are
| in the hands of the Beers. The war
office officials evidently expect q heavy
i casualty list, but they are hopeful from
1 the fact that the dispatch does not
mention the capture of the Northum-
berlands that such q great catastrophe
has been escaped.
Orders were issued at Aldershots
| Malta and other military centers to
dispatch all the available mouated in.
tfantry to South Africa.

| operating with the British columnSi

THE address delivered in New
York City by the Honorable Charles
Emory Smith, Postmaster General
has, from Republican standpoint
so far proven the master speech OF
the campaign. His clear and prse'
teal manner of dealing with the sub
iects that now command the stten
ton of thinking people, could be I'M
derstocd by every one who was for
tuuate enough to hear him. His ut
tersnces were typical of his clear,
ripened intellect, untsinted by psrti'
san prejudice, broadened by extern
sive experience and keen observation,
snd applied in manner that offend
ed no one. Gen. Smith is 8 gentle
man and a scholar, a statesman oil
the finer mould, untiring in his devo'
ton to duty, and, as member OF the
Cabinet, gives evidence Of the Wis
dom of the President in the selection.
His public service has commanded
the respect of his political opponents,
and his recent uttersnces will receive
an earnest consideration by ell who
desire to weigh carefully the momen-
tous issues that are presented in this
campaign. 1t is safe to predict other
and greater honors for him in the
future.

Play grounds are just as essential as

their health. To confne them within
the building at recess is unreasonable
and TO turn them loose TO play IN the
street is dangerous.-Phils. Times.
This is a salutsry truth for school
officials to recognize and practice.
Without health there can be no sat-
isfactory advancement in mental Gull
ture. Country school-houses are
usually surrounded by sufficient play
grounds for exercise and physical de-
yelopment, but as a rule in the cities
the grounds are inadequate, and as
result the scholars do not get the de-
sired exercise which is so conducive
TO health and sound minds.
