My long journey gave me ample leis'

the outcome Of my musings, I made
this resolve: that the end and aim or
my life should be to discover my faith
er's dreaded enemy, and at all haz-
ards to clear up the mystery h a had
obtruded itself upon me In the morning
of my life.
I supposed my father thought I was
too young vet to be trusted. but I was
strong and healthy, I had been trained
in athletic exercises until i was more

Then I could devote such energy as
God might bestow upon me to my one
purpose, and to do this with the best
results. I would strengthen my mental
faculties and powers of perception in
all ways.

LITTLE SMALLPOX AT NOME,
Stampede to New District Finds Very
Little Gold. ,,

Victoria, b. c., July 26..-smAllpox has
come out from Nome, Notwithstanding
the vigorous quarantine, according to the
report given by the passengers on the
Manauense, which has arrived from st.
Michaefs.
When they were at Dutch Harbor,
where they delayed three days owing to
a coal famine, the passengers heard re-
port that a man who swan ashore from
a schooner off Unalaska had spread the
disease there. One case was reported.
The Manauense reports that a stam-
pede took place July 13 from St. Michaels
to a point 10 miles from the city, where
gold bearing sand was said to have been
discovered. Many returned that night
and reported that they had found little
gold.
C. R. Glow Of Chicago, a passenger,
came from Kayukauk district. When he
left there on July 5th there were about
500 people in the district.
The Nome Gold Digger of July says:
Quarantine Officer Call said last night
that Nithstanding all reports there
We're but thirteen cases now in the small
pox hospital. "This is a fact he said.
Seventeen were reported, but not veri-
fled. The one man who died was w.
Wormstey of Texas"
Various Eskimos hereaboults are affect
ed with a, curious disease, much like the
influenza or grip, which has already
caused several deaths and threatens to
be fatal with many others. It is the same
disease apparently, that attacked the
natives at Point Barrow and across from
the Diomedes on the Siberian shore few
months ago.

BRITISH MOVING
HAVE TO HUNT THE BURGHERS
DoWN-BoERs PROFIT BY
INACTION.

New York, July ga dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The campaign in South Africa has
taken an unexpected turn. Lord Rob-
erts army has advanced to Bronkhorst-
spruit about half way between Pre-
toria and Middleburg. He is leaving
Pretoria and Johannesburg under a
strong guard and acting on the theory
that the Beers profit by his halts and
lose whenever his columns are in mo-
ton. The Beers have attempted to
thwart his plans by raids west and north
of Pretoria and to hold him back by
hanging on his flanks, just as they did
when he set out from Bloemfontein to
Pretoria. He has again pushed ahead
and is striking for the gateway to the
Lydenburg district, leaving Lord Me-
thuen and General Baden Powell to sup
press the raiders in the western dis
trict and Colonel BroadwoOd to pursue
General Dewet across the vaal.
1t Is not clear whether General Dewet
has made a fresh haul of 200 prisoners
belonging to the Welsh fusiliers, near
Rooderval. or whether this incident is
an amended form of the previous ac-
count of the capture of 100 Highlanders.
The situation is most confusing and
veterans are shaking their heads over 1t.
but apparently Lord Roberts has decided
that the best method of suppressing
guerrilla warfare is to follow the railway
toward the entrance to the Lydenburg
district, and to cut off Boer communica-
tions with the only remaining base of
supplies at Delagoa bay The plan Is a
bold one, since commanders of raiders

New Orleans, La, July 26.-After being
in the hands of lawless mobs for several
hours, with the police apparently power
less to maintain order, New Orleans, at
daybreak again assumed peaceful and
orderly condition, the violence apparent
ly finally ceased. The las, disturbance
occurred about O'Clock, when a white
baker, whose name is unknown, was shot
in the leg, while a crowd of rioters were
chasing gang of negroes. The mayor,
police and citizens are arranging today
to take precautions against a recur-
renee of last nights scenes of disorder.
The mob was composed of boys and hood
lumS and was without a leader. The riot
grew out Of the intense feeling engender-
ed by the murder of Capt. Day and Pa
trolman Lamb and the wounding of Off
Ger Mora by Desperate Charles. The oc-
currences Of last night are greatly de-
plored by the best elements Of the COM
munity. They represented in no sense an
uprising of an outraged community
against wrong. One man was killed,
three others will die and Is were wound
ed. The dead:

Washington, July 26.-The fact that
Col Meade. who was in command of the
marines at Taku, has been invalided home
no surprise among his comrades of the
navy who know him best. While man
of indornitable will, Col. Meade's vital
sty has been below par and it has been
an almost constant struggle for him to
perform his duties. Col. Meade has been
the ranking marine officer at the Cavite
naval station since its establishment. His
departure from Taku will leave Lieut.
Col. Coolidge of the Ninth infantry in
command of the American land forces.
The latter's command however, will be
only temporary, as the arrival of the
Grant with General Chaffee within the
next few days will place him in supreme
command.

marine officer, also will give way to
Major Biddle, who has with him on the
