elected. President, Mrs. G. w. L. Tay-
lor; vice president. Mrs. M. d. WEIGH;
secretary. Mrs. Nellie M. Richardson;
treasurer, Mrs. w. d. FitzGerald; audi
tor. Mrs. Winnett. Plans for increas-
ing the efficiency Of the society were dis
cussed at length. A larger member
ship is required and a prompter pay
ment Of dues. The annual fee OF twen-
ty-tive cents was paid last year by only
a small proportion of the enrolled mem
bers, for the reason that no direct effort
was made to collect it. The burden Of
the society's work fell upon the secre-
tary in the drawing up of ordinances and
resolutions and seeing that they reached
the attention of the councilmen. besides
the usual work Of the office. The ladies
feel that they should be able to offer
compensation for any labor requiring
legal or technical know ledge. Probably
il the society is to grow paid secretary
will soon be needed. When the city i'm
prvement society was organized a few
years since it was an adjunct to the wo-
mans club. Later it was made indie
pendent anc now the club women seem
to have forgotten their sponsorship. A
committee was appointed to present the
needs of the society to the attention Of
every literary club in the city and er-
deavor to obtain the interest and SUI

soeRs CONCENTRATING.
Arc Preparing to Give battle to Lord
Roberts force.

I.ontiGn. Feb. 2i.-Thc Beers are
leaving ull the positions held by them
on British territory and are conccn.
tr:iting for the defense Of their own.
Sir Rcdvcrs Butler thinks they are
about to rais,r the siege of Ladysmith.
and this Is the large news Of the day
General Clements reports that the
force confronting him has been greatly
diminished. Ten thousand men are rs-
iimatcd 10 have gone from Colcsbcrg
district alone. The Beers are also re-.
tracing their steps from Iululnnd.
Thus they are relaxing their hold on
all sides in order 10 assemble 10 oppose
Lord Roberts. He is pressing On stead
ily towards Blocmfontein. This Is
shown 10y his incnnscuucntal telegram
rtom paardchcrg. fifty Or sixty miles
away. Doubtless lie is miles behind
the column that Is pursuing the bOcrs
and the next important news may be
the occupation of BlOcmfontcin.
Nothing has been heard from the
chase uf Cronic for Two days. Al
though the last words Of the war office
tonight We're that there was no news
for publication. there is II strong dispo-
sition 20 believe that favorable infor-
nation has been received. but Is being
withheld until the operations culmin-
ate In something more conclusive.
There Is mn equally strong disposition
10 think that General Cronic has got
away.
Owing to the lack Of transport. the
British are not likely to invade Boer
territory except where Lord Roberts Is
operating. General Butler will have to
stop at the Drnkensberg mountains.
Probably n part of his 10000 men will
ultimately join the lcgions of Lord
Roberts.
III as General Butler AYERS. the Beers
are rptrcating from him. then the news
ON every side is favorable to the Brit
ish.
