Awful work of Lyddite.

COLENSO CAMP, Wednesday, Feb
ruary 2S.-The Beers lost heavily dur
ing yesterdays lighting. The lyddite
wrought fearful havoc in the trenches.
Many of the wounded Were quite yell
low from the effects of the fumes.
Over hundred prisoners were taken.
Many of them were Hollanders and a
few were genuine Beers. Considerable
ammunition for rifles fell into the
hands of the British, IS well as a
damaged Maxim gun. Ro&rs of six
teen years of age were among the
wounded. The prisoners had not heard
of the surrender of Gen. Cronje and
discredited it. The majority seemed
to be glad to be captured. They al.
nit heavy losses recently.

PROSPERITY THE CHIEF ISSUE
So Says Theodore Roosevelt in Accepting
the Nomination.

So Says Theodore Roosevelt in Accepting
the Nomination.
New York, Sept. 1S.-Hon. Theodore
Rcosevelt's letter accepting the nomi-
nation for the republican nomination
for vice president of the United States
contains 5000 words. 1t was given to
the press last night. He says that
prosperity is the great issue of this
campaign. He writes: The most i'm
portant of all problems is, Of course,
that Of securing good government and
moral and material well-being within
our own borders. Great though the
need is that the nation should do its
work well abroad, even this comes
second to the thorough performance
of duty at home. Under the admin
istration of President Mckinley this
country has been blessed with a de-
gree OF prosperity absolutely unparal-
leled, even in its previous prosperous
history.
THE success of the party represent
ing the principles embodied in the
Kansas City platform would bring
about the destruction of all the condi-
tions necessary to the continuance of
our prosperity. 1t would also unsettle
our whole governmental system, and
would therefore disarrange all the
vast and delicate machinery of our
complex industrial life. Above all,
the effect would be ruinous to our
finances. If we are to prosper, the
currency of this country must be based
upon the gold dollar worth 100 cents.
Regarding the consent of the gov
erned," he says:
I'm no part of the Louisina purchase
was complete self-government intro
duced for number of years; in one
part of it, the Indian Territory, it has
not yet been introduced, although
nearly century has elapsed. Over
enormous tracts of it, ilclUding the
various Indian reservations, with a
territory in the aggregate rs large as
that of the Philippines, the constitu-
ton has never yet followed the flag;
the army officer and the civilian agent
still exercise authority, without ask
ing the consent of the governed. We
must proceed in the Philippines with
the same wise caution, taking each
successive step as it becomes desir-
able, and accommodating the details
of our policy to the peculiar needs of
the situation. But as soon as the
present revolt is put down and order
established, it will undoubtedly be
possible to give to the islands larger
measure of self-government than JEFF
ferson originally gave louisiana"

WHEN THE CIRCUIT RIDER GAME

In the backwoods OF Ohio. in the days OF
long ago.
When religion was religion. not dressy
fashion show,
When the spirit of the Master fell IS
flames of living fire.
And the people did the singing, not
trained artistic choir,
There was scarcely seen ripple in life's
gently flowing tide,
NO events TO draw the people from their
daily toll aside,
Naught to set the pious spirit OF the pion-
GERS ailame
Save upon the rare occasions when the
circuit rider came.
He was usually mounted on the sorriest
of nags,
All his outfit for the journey packed In
leather saddle bags.
And he'd travel with the Bible or the
hymn book in his hand
Reading sacred word or singing of the
happy Promised Land.
How the toiling wives would glory in the
dinners they would spread,
And how many hapless chicken or q
turkey lost its head
BY the cleaning chopper welded by the
hand of sturdy dame,
For IL wasn't very often that the circuit
rider came.

On the Writing Of Comedy.

Bouccicault, quite at the beginning
of his career (and he wrote plays al
most as body, used to get $500
for a five-act comedy. He stated the
fact on oath in court of justice,
and the sum was considered so inn
mense that the counsel who was exam
lining him exclaimed:
do you mean to tell me, sir, that
IL were to write a comedy for the

would give me e300 for it?"

That thered be a meetin' Sunday, and
we'd taller up our shoes.
And we'd brush our homespun dress suits,
pride of every country youth.
And we'd grease our hair with marrow TIL
It shone like golden truth.
And the frocks of linsey-woolsey would
be donned by all the girls.
And with heated old fire pokers they
would make their corkscrew curls;
They were scarcely queens of fashion.
but were lovely just the same.
And they always looked their sweetest
when the circuit rider came.
As a preacher, holy Moses! how he'd
swing the living word,
How he'd draw the pious "bretherin'
yet closer to the Lord.
And he'd raise the hair of sinners sitting
on the backmost seat
With his fiery, lurid pictures of the ever
lasting heat!
We have sat in grand cathedrals, trt-
umphs of the builders skin,
And in great palatial churches meath the
organs mellow thrill,
But they never reused within us such a
revcrential flame
AS would burn i'm that old schoolhouse
when the circuit rider came

"The young forget their fancies, the
old forget their cares,
When pretty Mistress Marget comes
smiling down the stairs"
Nobody who once looked upon Mis-
tress Marget-pretty Mistress Marget
almost everybody called her-could
help loving her. 1, Thomas Dawtry,
a plain and simple squire of the realm,
loved her better than all the world.
But pretty Mistress Marget was not
for me, or so, at least, her father had
informed me. AS for me, I had long
since decided to abide by this decision
only so long as circumstances COM
PEELED me. Whenever fate offered me
the shadow of an opportunity l meant
to steal Mistress Marget and run away
with her. Mistress Marget, as l had
every reason-save spoken words-to
believe, would be by no means unwil-
ling.
The opportunity came when my
sweet lady's father was called away
to fight for his king and country, King
Charles and Bonnie England. l, who
longed to fight for king and country
also, dared the laughter and the jeers
Of my comrades to stay behind little
and steal my lovely lady, if it so

men. then | made for the hall and

thought 10 be practically no danger
from infectious disease. The matter
Of admission of physicians was taken
up and motion was passed request
ing General Scurry TO admit all physi
clans who would agree to remain two
weeks. The limit had formerly been
thirty days, and this was considered
too long.
Disinfectants are arriving rapidly
and the work in this department is
in good shape. Chloride of lime and
copperas is also being supplied to pri-
vate individuals who apply. One or
more dispensaries have been estab-
lished in each ward, and two or more
physicians are on duty in each ward.
Major Frank M. Spencer has re-
turned from Austin, to which city he
was sent as one member of a commit
tee of three to confer with the gov
ernor. The governor gave into his
keeping for transmission to Galveston
$4,000 in cash. This amount is to
be used for immediate necessities in
this city and is TO be spent on the is
land in paying men who are engaged
in the work of clearing the debris
and disposing OF the corpses.
Governor Sayers agreed with the
committee that from funds at his dis
posal he would pay laborers $3.50 per
day for their work here, and this
money is for that purpose.
In a business way the reaction set
in on Wednesday. One hundred and
twenty-five men were put to work
then rebuilding the Merchants and
Planters compress, which was the
first effort at rebuilding.
The streets today have presented a
buster appearance than on any occa-
sion since the terrible catastrophe.
There are no drones; all are work
ers. Any one can get all the work
he can do. Business has not been,

to the needs of the present, preparing
for the necessities of the future. Ev-

Within the Ursulne convent and
academy and in cells of the nuns four
babies came into this world during
the dark night OF the storm.
Mother Joseph, in speaking of the
incidents of the night within the con-
vent walls, said she believed it was
the first time in the history of the
world that a baby had been born in
the nuns cells in convent. Regard
less of the religious belief of the par
ents, the little ones were baptized.

Sir Reginald had never forbidden my
visits-he was too wise man to tempt
fate in such manner; he had merely
taken care that l had no chance of
solitary speech with my dear lady.
knew now that the Lady Eleanor
Blewett. who filled, as best she might,
the place of the dead lady OF the man
or to her daughter, Mistress Marget,
favored not my suit, so l sought not
to have speech with her or with my
lady. Old Simeon l had been friends
with ever since, as a child, l had
played in the gardens with sweet Mis-
tress Marget. l knew he was my
friend and would help me. knew also
that he might speak with his lady
when l might not unmatched and I'M
guarded. To old Simeon 1 told my
story. and trusted him for his aid
And there was the chink of gold
between us when we parted, albeit my
lack of gold was the reason why Sir
Reginald had said me nay, upon my
asking for his daughters hand. And
for gold-next to his love for pretty
Mistress Marget-old Simeon would do
more than most of us would do for the
sake of life.
That evening l happened to be
walking in the lane just as old Simeon
also came out to take the air. And a
note passed between us. Old Simeon
also instructed me as to where could
find certain implements and tools-a
ladder and a stout stave among them
which I might need later on, per-
chance. And l gave to Simeon the
package of certain drug. which my
friend, the chirugeon, had given me-
Mistress Marget was to see that this
drug was dropped into the fagon OF
ale sent up for the Lady Eleanor's
supper. Then. later. she was to lean
out of her easement and signal to me,
waiting outside in the lane. And lat
er still Parson Dabney, who loved us
both and sympathized with us rather
than with Sir Reginald, was to make
pretty Mistress Marget my wife.
And so it all happened, without let
or hindrance, save when my body SER
wants horse was mired in the slough
back Of the lane. He should have
waited in the lane proper, but he
thought he heard voices and sounds
of horses hoofs coming, and, knowing
that he must not be found there, he
leaped his own steed over the hedge
and into the slough. We had to walt
