Mr.. Tolles Encountered an Unexpected
Obstacle in His Path
Southington, Nov. 2S.-When Charles
Tolles was returning to his home
across lots Monday night he stumbled
and fell over a big object which he
knew was not there when he passed the
spot two hours before.
Getting lantern, Tolles investigated
and found huge rock embedded in the
path. 1t was so deeply buried that he
could not move it.
Yesterday he went to the spot and
discovered that the rock which had so
mysteriously appeared was a meteor
which had evidently fallen during the
evening. 1t is the largest specimen ever
seen in this section, and many people
came to see it to-day.

FRENCH REPLY TO MR.. KRUGER

Not to Initiate Intervention-Cond
tons Under Which She Might Join.
Paris, Nov. 2S.-The conversation
which Mr.. Kruger had with the French
minister of foreign affairs, M. Delcasse,
yesterday, was confined to the former
sounding the latter as to the probable
attitude of France in certain eventual
tiles. Mr. Kruger did not press for a
definite statement and the conversa-
ton lacked preciseness.
NJ Delcasse let it be understood that
France had not changed her attitude
since he explained the governments
position in the chamber of deputies last
March. France will not take the initia-
tive in intervention in South Africa, but
will not discourage any other country
from so doing. On the contrary, she
will join in such initiative if it is taken
under such conditions as appear to her
to merit acquiescence.
Mr.. Kruger did not formulate any
proposition, and did not intimate what
he intended to do. But it is believed he
will take the first official, diplomatic
step at The Hague. 1t is not known
whether he will ask Holland to propose
mediation or open other and less clearly
defined negotiations.

School of Fine Arts to inspect the

DANGER IN CAPE COLONY
THE GROWTH or ANTI BRITISH
FEELING FEARED.

Dutch Residents sympathy Aroused by
Tales of Stern Measures In the Trans
vaaI.
Cape Town, Nov. 2S.-Great prepara-
lions are being made for the Afrikander
| congress, which is to be held at Wor-
| cester on December 6. 1t is feared that
inflammatory speeches will be made,
which will have a tendency to increase
the anti-British feeling which has been
prevalent recently.
London, Nov. 2S.--A dispatch from
Cape Town says that race hatred in
Cape Colony has reached a most eriti-
cal stage, and that large garrisons will
be needed in districts which heretofore
have not been occupied by the military.
All the Dutch who formerly occupied
a neutral position are now actively as
sisting the Beers. This change has
been caused by the reports of the burn
ing of farms and the sufferings of the
Boer women.
The constant dispatch to South Africa
of reinforcing draughts, and the daily
fights at points wide apart, show that
the war is not over, and, while the
statement that Lord Roberts has de-
manded 10000 fresh troops is incorrect.
1t is a fact that he has asked for 5000
men to replace the battalions whose
wastage incapacitates them from duty
at the front. These reliefs will be dis
patched, but they will seriously atten-
tuate the garrisons Of the United King
dom, insomuch as Lord Roberts insists
the troops shall be picked men and
have seasoned officers

EVANGELISTS OF THE CATHOLIC
APOSTOLIC CHURCH.


The evangelists of the Catholic Apos-
tolic church will deliver a series of lee
lures in Music hall, beginning next
Sunday evening, at ; o'clock. There
are several members of the religious
community that they represent resi-
dent in this city, but no congregation;
and the Catholic Apostolic church is
comparatively speaking, little known in
the United States. 1t is, however, bet
ter known in some other lands; espe-
cially, in Great Britain and Germany;
and has gatherings of believers in al
most every country of Christendom.
Though known as the Catholic Apos-
tolic church, it disclaims the title as
belonging to itself alone; but takes it
as signifying it's unity with all Chris
tians of every name. According to its
principles, the outward and visible UNI
ity of the Church of Christ is a fun
damental tenet of the faith; and a loss
of this visible unity is a partial loss Of
faith. Therefore a recovery of the
unity of the church is an Indispensable
preparation for it's entrance nito the
glory which shall be brought unto it at
the appearing of the Lord from heaven.
