WELCOME nay OLE LIGHT.

London, Jan. 2.-4:S0 a. m.--The sue
cess of General French in driving the
Beers from Colesberk has shot Il well
come ray of light through the gloom Of
the campaign in South Africa Every
where it is commented upon as an ex-
ample of sound tactics and as an illus
tration of what may be done when the
1sht methods are employed with the
Bners. The Government is urged to
take the lesson to heart and to see that
no stone IS left unturned in the en-
deaVor TO get the largest possible forces
OF cavalry and mounted infantry to the
front.
Now That General French has the
Boers on the run, the hope is expressed
that he will give them no rest, bat win
harrass them until they have found
their way across the Orange River,
which is Il miles distant. The old
wagon route to the Free state traverses
Colesberg and crosses the river by a
fine bridge. 1910 feet long.
1t is believed that the Beers retreated
toward Norvafs Pont, further east, and
inc question Is whether General French
WIN be able to secure these two bridges
before the Beers destroy them
One Important effect of the success
or General French is that ii will pro-
Daply have deterrent influence upon
Dutch disaffection. There is some dis
position here TO eXaggerate the import
ance of small skirmishes aud engage
ments. II should be borne in mind that
0eneral French has only 1000 mon, and
SO far us the important points of cam
paign are concerned the situat ton is
virtually unchanged.
AT Modder river the Beers appear to
be modifying somewhat their line OF
defense. General Buffers scouts have

.,ueer Devices for Use in Warfare.

New while war is going on the pro- life brain of the inventor is busy de- yising ways in which to speedily an- nihiIate the enemy. One ingenious in diyidual. an Englishman, suggests mist or fog ball with which to enyelop an antagonist in impenetrable dark ness. The balls are easily broken spheres, containing ammonia and ac1ds, which, on escaping, create very dense fog, wrapping everything uear if in a haze until blown away by the wfEd! He argues that this would be a most efficacious method of prevent ing the Boers from aiming at English troops. Another proposes to blind the foe by firing into their midst bullets filled with pepper-thus doing double good work, both disabling the enemy and increasing the consumption of our colonial produce.

UNCLE SAM,S
Methods of Guarding Vaults of the
 United States Treasury.

Washington Special Chicago Trib- une: Frequently remarks are heard as to how easy 1t would be for d handful of determined desperadoes to make away with rich haul of gold and sll- yer as it is being transferred to or from the vaults of the treasury on one of the business thoroughfares of this city. At any hour of the day curious crowd can be seen standing about the heavy platform at the Fifteenth street entrance to the treasury, upon Whlcn small iron safes containing money are being placed in transferring currency to and from the treasury. Speculation is always indulged in and plans formu- lated for making away with a large amount of Uncle Sans gold. Those who indulge in this wild speculation are not aware of the danger Whfeh would attend such an undertaking. In the first place, it requires at least three men to handle each safe, and 1t would be almost an impossibi1ity to Wrest these treasure-laden boxes from those who have charge of them. Even If thls should be done, the robbers would not be able to get away with the booty, as within an incredibly short time num- Der of government employees armed to the teeth would be on the spot. It is not generally known, but inquiry de- yeloped the fact that the seedy men who loiter around with no apparent aim in life are expert marksmen. These men can shoot equally we'll with either hand, and would furnish highly entertaining sport for any one who should attempt to rob Uncle Sam. They are employed by the government at a good salary. Aside from these ex- pert marksmen at the main entrance of the building will be found a number of watehmen, each of whom is provided with rifle. Secreted in one of the rooms are two gatling guns, and it would require but a short time to bring all these arms into play. To the lay man it would seem to be an apparent ly easy matter to steal some of the governments funds, but it is safe to say a number of lives would be for feited if such foolhardy attempt were made.

SWIMMING FEAT OF A CHILD.
Astonishing Courage and Goodness Dis-
 played by Little Girl

The importance of early instruction in the art of swimming received
 striking illustration in the recent res
 cue from drowning of 6-year-old girl
 at Port Jefferson, N. Y, says Leslie's
 Weekly. The child saved was Clarice
 Petit. t.1e little daughter of Dr. and
 Mra Henry Petit of Brooklyn. Dr.
 Petit, who is physical instructor in Ade.phi college, was out sailing with his wife, three children, including Clariee, and maid, in his yacht, the Orient. Mrs. Petit was at the wheel, when sudden gust caused the yacht to heel to port, and C1arice was thrown into the water. Dr. Petit sprang to her rescue, but the child had disap- peared. She soon came to the surface, however, near the dingey, where she sustained herself for a moment on an oar Hearing her father call her name, the little one let go her support and sWam toward him, and the two, a mo- ment later, were picked up and safely restored to the yacht, but little the worse for their experience. The un- usual feature of the affair was the as- tonishing coolness and courage dis played by the child an evidence of the excellent physical training she has re- ceiyed. Although the little swimmer sank beneath the waves several times after going overheard, she gave not the slightest sign of fear or excite ment, but seemed perfectly confident in her own power to sustain herself un- til help should come. When asked, after her return to the yacht, why she had let go the oar, she said: T could not seem to swim fast enough with it." Of her experience under the water she remarked: Tt was dark down there, but kept my mouth shut so that I would not swallow water. . such presence of mind in 6-year-o1d child is as rare as it is remarkable.

THE PENALTY FOR A HAT.

@iA s@ OAA1A4 19As
 Because Miss May Oller. daughter Of the late Bishop Jacob F. OHer, persist ed tn wearing a pretty crea ion of a hat in preference to the plain b met worn by the women of the German Baptist church, she has forfeited her membership in the Antietam Ges nan Baptist church of Waynesborougn Pa, according to the Philadelphia Times. Miss Oller is a highly educated young woman, a graduate of Iuniata college. Her brother is superintendent of the Prick company Last spring Miss 0l- Ter returned from a European tour and wore in place of the conventional bon net hat of the latest style In July a meeting of the authoities of the church was held and Miss Oller was notified that if she would retain her member ship in the church she must return to the plainer headgear, and that she would be given until the next quarter ly meeting to make the change. Miss Oiler wrote 10 the church authorities asking them to extend the time. mean while continuing to wear the hat. The time was not extended, however. and at the quarterly meeting she was form ally expelled from the church Elder Jacob Snyder presided at the meeting. which was unusually lively Postmas- ter s. E. Dubbel and ! J. and Jesse R. 0ller, brothers of the young woman, made fight against expulsion. claim ing that the annual meeting had made the wearing of the bonnet discretion ary. This petition was, however, bit terly fought by the two young German Baptist ministers, the Rev J. B. Rath- ruff and the Rev. John Oelig, who in sisted that the traditions of the church should not be broken down, and they were successful in their battle by large majority. There is much indig- nation among Miss Oilers friends and relatives and they will take the matter to the next annual meeting
