BRITISH DENOUNCED
women Object to Annexing Republic to
 the Empire

Capetown, July 9.-At a meeting of the Afrikander women here today, called to protest against the annexation of the Re- public to the British Empire and the pun ishment of the rebels, Oliver Schriner Cron- wright denounced the British policy. She said she was ashamed of her English de- scent, and added:
 'If he Republics are annexed, if he Af- rikanders are oppressed, peace is impossi- ble. Every trench of Boer dead is grave of England's honor. Every bullet making wound also finds bullet in the heart of the Empire"
 It is said here that President Kruger's s retention of large amounts of gold at Machadodorp has created the utmost dis content among the mercenaries, officers and men. They expected substantial rewards for championing the Boer interests, but have received nothing. It is added that visiting foreigners who have subsequently advocated intervention are believed to have received substantial sums. Proofs it is further asserted, have been discovered in Pretoria, which promises startling deyel- opments.

A SAD DEATH
Mrs. Philip Willingham Passes Away
 at Ramsey

Ramsey, July 9-(Special l-The angel of death passed over our community at an early hour Sunday morning, July l, and carried from us in his flight one Of our sweetest and rarest of flowers, Mrs. Philip Willingham Her death has cast a great shadow over our entire neighborhood, leay- ing us in sadness and in sorrow. Truly can it be said of her, None knew her but to love her; none named her but to praise" Even though dead and gone from us sm this life, sweet memories of dear Julia will ever finger with us. Though critically i'll for days, she bore her sufferfngs with patience, gentleness and Christian fortitude till God claimed His own. Nature seemed to have joined us in our torrent of tears, for as her sweet form was laid to rest the very heavens wept. A large cortege of friends and sympathizing acquaintances had gath cred mid sunshine and shower to pay their last token of love and respect to our sweet Julia. Soon, with loving hands but aching hearts her grave was bedecked and covered with beautiful flowers, but none so rare as the hidden treasure. She was a beautiful young woman, full of sweet promise, and rent in twain the hearts of her devoted husband, mother, sister, brother and dead old grandfather, as she was the pride and joy of their lives To them I extend my deepest sympathy, and trust that God in His graciousness will fill their hearts with peace and resignation to His will for their darling still lives today free from pain and suffering bright and beautiful in heaven. ''Oh, heaven is nearer than metals think, When they look with a trembling dread At the misty future that stretches on
 From the silent home of the dead
 "We pass from the clasp of our mourning
 friends
 To the arms of the loved and lost
 And those smiling faces will greet us there Which on earth we have valued most'

The fire which destroyed the immense Swamp Root medicine plant of Dr. Kilmer & Go, 4SJuly l. was the most disastrous which has ever occurred in Binghamton. However, the Kilmers resumed business next morning, though not at the old stand, which is a heap of smouldering ashes. While the firemen were yet pouring water on the burning Chenango street establish ment, the Kilmers were arranging to do business somewhere else.
 That this great industry might not be crippled for a moment, through the cour- tesy of other prominent firms and citizens, the large factory and adjoining buildings on South street were vacated for the bene- fit of the Swamp Root people, and possess sion was taken immediately, and here, by Monday, July 8, this new temporary factory was turning out Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy, in quantities of about 6OOOO bottles per day, and in two or three weeks time the full capacity of more than four times that amount will be produced. The immense demand for Swamp Root will thus in no way be interfered with.
 On the old site, with adjoining property which has just been purchased will be erected immediately an absolutely fre-proof six-story structure, plans for which have been nearly completed. .. ..

Winter Ocean Hatl,s.

The fad Of taking plunge in the
waters of the ocean and bay during
the winter has. it seems, taken firm
hold on some of the residents ii the
suburban sections of Brooklyn. espe-
cially those along the shores Of
Gravesend Bay, at Bath Beach and
Bensonhurst. These two ham.ets now
boast of three residents who never fail
to take cool dip in the bay every day
in the year. All those who would doubt
it can go down to Bensonnursl and
make inquiries for John Richmond, a
good natured Englishman, who owns a
little place on Bath avenue, near Thir-
ty-fifth street. where he conducts 4
florists business. His wife prides her
self on being the only woman in the
city who takes the icy plunge. 1t has
been said that a mysterious woman did
make her appearance short time ago
at Bath Beach, and, after promenading
the beach for time, she plunged into
the water. The woman, however, was
apparently satisfied with that one dip
and has not been seen along the shore
since, while Mrs. Richmond is there
every day.

BY a Professor.

A mans ideal of womanhood is gen
orally worth knowing, and for this
reason the following sentence from an
article in the Humanitarian, written
by Prof. Mantegazza, will be read with
interest: In order to approach to the
perfection required in the future, wom-
an should try to improve herself phys
ically, morally and Intellectually
three adverbs which represent the
great human trinity, three gods in one
god, the god of happiness, who is the
perfect equilibrium of all our ener-
gies, who is a being who answers to
all our necessities, who is a being who
does not forget the body by giving
everything to the soul, and who does
not reduce man to the level of an an
imal, which eats and drinks and sleeps.
Woman has always been and always
will be, powerful-all powerful on ac-
count of her beauty, and we poor serv-
ants Of nature can neither dethrono
her nor make her move by unaccus-
toned ways. Only we ought to ex-
tend the physical beauty of a woman
to her heart and thought.

Women Not ,ro,.v r.l.r,

IL Harpers Bazaar, Hetty Green, the
fannous woman financier, tells why
Women are not money-makers. She
says: I'm the first place, woman is
entirely TOO impulsive for business.
She sails gayly into the world OF
commerce, believing in everything,
and in herself most of all. A GER
tain stock may be increased tempo
rarily in value, owing to the enter
prise CT it's owners, who are them
selves advancing the market. The
woman specula;or. with her usual i'm
pctuesity, thinks: L must have sons
Of that. II it is this high, can sell
it for more She does not stop 10
look over the market; she has not
trained her judgment, but, with both
hands outstretched, offering her little
all, she plunges headlong into the
grasp of cunning spectators. The
next day-or the next hour, perhaps
the stock falls in value. She is just
the prey the sharpers are looking for.
More money is made in the end by an
oversupply of caution than by indis-
crinlinate recklessness. ! am not adj
vising timidity. Quite the contrary.

so ahead"
