KIMBERLEY RELIEVED.

London, Feb. 15.-The successful and
rapid advance OF Lord Roberts through
the Boer lines onto Kimberley has fairly
electrified the empire, and the unapi-
nous opinion of experts that this whole
army is now in position for assault keeps
great crowds about the various news
centers eagerly watching for the first
news of the momentous battle.
Both the Sixth and Seventh divisions
are now with French at the drifts cap
tured on the Modder. Nearly all OF
the experts are satisfied that most OF the
twenty-five mile march was made by
night in order to escape the terrible heat
that hampered French's dash with the
cavalry.
French's force is not known. but is
certainly not less than 5000. The other
two divisions number 10000 men hence
Cropje has % 900 in his rear and from
%, 600 to 10000 at his front along the
Modder ready to strike a simultaneous
blow.
The battle is confidently expected to
begin today or tomorrow Saturday in
a combined assault by 150 guns and an
entire division. There appears to be
little doubt that Lord Roberts first
movement in his Modder river campaign
has had brilliant results.
With his cavalry, led by General
French, the best cavalry leader in the
British army, out in front and two div
isions Of infantry following, he is max
progress through the Free State that is
astonishiL g In it's rapidity
His plan Of campaign, it is now evil
dent, contenplates the thorough invas-
ion of the Orange Free State and a march
upon it's capital at Bloemfontein, as well
as the relief OF Kimberley. That his
plan will be successful no Epglishman
doubts.

SUCCESS OF THE BRITISH.

London, Feb. 16,-While there is tre-
pendous satisfaction and jubilaton here
at Lord Roberts and General French's
success, those best suited to Judge the
situation are inclined to the opinion that
pending more definite information, the
news had better be regarded as assuring,
rather than as accomplishing the relief
Of the beleagured city OF Kimberley. A
careful study of the ambiguity OF the
wording of Lord Roberts dispatch leads
to the belief that the actual relief OF the
place is still matter OF time. Kimber
ley, it is pointed out, can scarceley be
termed relieved till it is feasible to take
provisions there.
The rapidiiy OF General French's
march indicates that he was unable to
do this, and whether he left his lines be-
hind him open is only matter OF sur
mise. 1t is considered most probable
that Lord Roberts and General French's
brilliant tactical success, for such it is
under any circumstances, resembles the
first relief of Lucknow, when the disper
sal OF the epeuy's forces was by no
means Immediately effected.
Another remarkable feature of Lord
Roberts laconic cablegram is the fact
that it is dated at Jacobsdal, which was
GeL eral Cronje's advance base OF sup
plies, yet there is no word explaining the
British commanders presence there, nor
word OF any opposition which he or Gen.
French encountered. Had Lord Rob
erte inflicted decisive defeat on the
Beers it is believed he would be greatly
paramount to the relief OF Kimberley, or
the throwing into that pl7c ce OF garri-
son which could assure it holding out
However, General French's entry into
Kim mberley has been effected and doubt
less brings Joy to the hearts of those
who have been shut up in the city for
l22 days Their defend RS number
about 1000, while Gene. al French's
force is estimated at between 5000 and
5000 men.

Stratton-Curtis NuptiaIs.

A number of the old tina and intimate
friends of James Pennington Stratton
received this morning announcements
from Leadvitle stating that he had been
married there Thursday, February 10Th.
The bride is daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. George 8. Curtis we'll known
Leadville family, by name Georgia Alice.
Those who are acquainted with the
bride say that she is one of Leadville's
most charming daughters and a lady
who charmed all who came within her
circle of acquaintances 1t is conceded
that Mr.. Stratton captured prize in
the matrimonial market, but one which
he deserved.
or all the young men who have re-
sided in this city in the pact ten years,
none had possibly as many warm friends
as j. P. Stfatton. Possessed Of a per-
sonality which attracted everyone who
was fortunate in knowing him, he made
friends rapidly and was universally
liked.
Leaving here several years ago he
went to Leadville where he accepted a
position as manager for the George E.
Taylor Drug Co., and his popularity in a
short time was no less than i. was here.

will wish MIR. Strstton and bride bon

Pioneer Citizen of Houston.

Pioneer Citizen Of Houston.
To the Editor of The Post
houston, Texas, July 21.-I would like
to add something to your recent notice
of the death of Mrs Martha M Blake
who died in this city on the 18th instant,
at the advanced age OF 81 years.
The subject of this sketch, nee Martha
NJ. Harris, was born in South Carolina of
one of those early pioneer Southern fam
lies, who moved to Alabama and then to
Mississippi in what was known as the
flush times" of that sterling period.
Size was married to DR.. Edmund H.
Blake in 1884 at Clinton, Miss. where they
lived until moving to Texas in 1910, first
settling a Brennan, then the garden spot
of this state, removing to Houston in
1856, where she has since lived. Her hus-
band enjoyed a large practice up to the
date of his death, twenty years ago
In July. one living sister survives her,

was present at her bedside when she died

In fact all that goes 10 make UP the
history of this estimahle Christian woman
from the time she first sprang into woman
hood until the ripe old age she bore, was
one of special interest to those whose goot
fortune it was to know her and feel hel
gentle influence. She was lovingly called
Mother Blake or Grandma Blake by many
OF her acquaintances. Her home was
hospitsble one and ever open to he
friends
She was a member OF the First Prem
byterian church, having been a devoted
adherent OF that faith all of her life.
When financially able, many felt her

and that the vote OF the county should
be cast by the delegates present. This is
exactly what Chairman Moore decided at
Richmond
Sometimes proxies are permitted Ia
State conventions after temporary organ
ization and sometimes they are not.
They were ruled out in the Galveston
convention in 1882, and also at the San
Antonio convention in 1890. But says Mr..
Love:
| II deny the statement that convention
| CONFESSED of delegates elected to IL from
county conventions has the right to deny to
the delegates which have been elected to
represent the different counties in such con-
vention Ihe right TO vote by. proxies. The
limitation upon the delegates right to be
represented by proxy must be imposed by the
convention TO which he is elected"
| That is simply ridiculous. 1t is to con-
tend that Harris county would have the
right tn make a rule to govern the State
convention, and few, If any, will treat the
contention seriously And here MIR. Love
grows heroic:
"A chairman of an executive committee
| OF Harris county who would call a ooneen-
ton to order and proceed to call the roll
of the precincts in the county, and tx tho
number OF votes that each precinct was
entitled to cast, and determine who should
cast those votes would not long survive
| the righteous Indignation of an Intelligent
| democracy. And ! undertake TO say that in
no other counties OF this State would such
practice be tolerated except Fort Bend
Mr.. Love is again at fault His mem
DRY seems bad. He has forgotten that
not very loag ago in the Harris county
convention on call OF the wards and
precincts Mr.. Bailey defeated Judge Hill
for temporary chairman. and that was
not the first time the vote was so re-
corded And. by the way. the chairman
seems to have survived. He was well
and happy at last accounts
Mr.. Love makes another mistake with
regard 10 Hon. jim Wells. Mr.. Wells
frequently represents several border
counties in State conventions but it is
as delegate, not as proxy, He is elect
ed as a delegate by the different coun
ties. and he is too good a politician to
run the risk of being shut out by an ad
verse report on proxies at State conven-
tions.
| III lne recent state convention at AUS
tin four delegates cast the q votes OF
Harris county most of the time. Now
to have enforced Mr.. Loves peculiar
ideas there. Harris county would have
been entitled to only four votes, or the
actual number Of delegates present.
The Post has no desire to "prolong this
controversy either, and what Mr. Love
SAYS about this paper is a matter OF SUI
preme indifference to us. The only rea
son for The Post referring to the matter
at all was that a poorly disguised effort
was being made to iniure the democra tic
nominee for State senator by charging
that his nomination had been accom-
pllshed through irregular and fraudulent
methods. The Post knew this charge tc

Black and White Effects.

Black and white effects are more
prominent than ever among the new
gowns in sight. White organizes are
made up with wide insertions of black
Chantilly or French lace, and the new
gown Of any sort, which has no touch
of black or white, or both, is the ex-
ception. Even the light cloth gowns
deliberately trimmed with cream lace
which have NO black at any other
polntA will have square black. Velvet
bows on the front Of the bodice, pos
sibly. down the front of the vest, If
there is no other available space.
Black velvet rosettes and streamers
will also supply the browning, touch
of distinction to many Of the simmer
gowns.
An important. feature Of the new
thin gowns which must not be over
looked is their sleeves. They appear
in great variety, but the most fash
ionable are the elbow sleeve, which
appears with or without cuff, but IL
generally finished with frill of lace
or d chiffon wider at the back than
1t is at the front. and the new lin
gerie sleeve, which is a sleeve which
ends just below the elbow. From this
point there energies full undersleeve
OF some, thin fabric or light texture,
confined in a cuff or finished with a
ruffle.
