Ons rlothlng company at Anderson with branch stores at Pendleton, and the Wagner Glass Works, with offices at Anderson and factory at lngalls, are lsing this baru-wire system in tnelr business affairs exclusively. They use he line frequently They can convert into private line by plugs so al- anged that when one party is using he line he can cut out all others except n Mr Alleys residence, which IS used 3S central station. It is no e1ag- geration to say that this barb-wlrs 5elephone system is quite as saustac- tory as the copper circuit Of the Bell. ardinarv phones are used with no

 From Ainslee's Magazine: South Af- Fiea exports hides wool and mohair. and the ranchman would revei in riches were it not for the various pests that decin1ate his focks and herds The most deadly one is the rinderpest, cattle plague which in the last ten years has been slowly creeping from Central Africa southWard, leaving a wake of whftened bones. In travelling through Natal saw fifty oxen lying lead about spring, so suddenly had the disease attacked them. 1t was al most impossible to get an untinged piece of steak at restaurant, though the proprietor resented any such charge, and a plethoric German travel CT who called out in a loud tone for
 roast rinderpest" in the railroad cafe at De Aar Junction, Cape Colony, had to be picked up in fragments. Dr. Koch and other eminent specialists tried to stop this plague. The country is now recovering from it slowly Another pest is the tsetse dy, an insect resembling our common house fly, but three times as large. Its bite will kill a horse, COW or any other domestic animal in about ten days, but, strange 10 say, does not affect wild animal or a human being A less dangerous, but more troublesome, pest is the white ant, which is about one-quarter of aD inch long and ubiquitous in many parts of the country They live under the ground, and can only be routed by killing the queen, which sometimes reaches the size of one inch In length This insect is particularly harassing in Rhodesia. At Buluwayo my travelling companion inadvertently left his boots on the floor after turning in at night, and he arose next morning to find the uppers carefully separated from the Aoles. Lucky you didn't leave your clothes on the foor.'' was the hotel keepers only consolation. These ants will eat through anything but metal and for that reason much of the build- Ing is done with corrugated iron. The anthill is one of the conspicuous land uayks in travelling over South Africa.

 great Play.


 oreat Play.
 TWO tragedies were given by the saPanese players at the Boston theater recently, and the author of both-Ka- Wakami-played the leading part in each. Japanese playwrights are cer- talnly versatile, and when the amount or physical labor involved in these tra- gedles is considered, they cannot be said to be afraid of hard work, says the Boston Herald. The Japanese idea of The Merchant of Venice," which the author attempts to show in "Sairoku" and in which he plays the name part. proved hardly as entertaining as might De expected. It might be called weari- some in places, owing to the rrotracted dialogue and insufficient pantomime to clearly indicate what the people were talking about. The main features of ehe play are copied, with some changes Thus the Jewish miser becomes a Ja. panese miserly fisherman, the pound of nesh is three square inches" to be cut off nearest the heart of the lover Of tt ] miser's daughter, who has borrow eG 5000 rio under the pledge of flesh fe feiture; and an older daughter is fsa Portia who becomes the judge and Es. les the lovers life The play ends E-ppily in the repentance of siroku, though not before the tragic element is devolved in the suicide of the young. sr daughter. The shorter play that opened the bill and Is called Scarlet Snow" is based on events following the visit of Commodore Perry in Japan in 1853, and the tragic fate of Minister Tairo Ramon in consequence of his signing treaty in opposition to the wishes of the exclusion party. The hand-to-hand fighting that comprises almost the entire second act and that reddens the deep snow with blood gives the name to the play, and is study of muscular realism on the stage The play is aiven entirely by the men, but in "Siroku" two ladies of the com pany, Sada Yacco and Mikami. give de. lightful performances as the tive daughters.

Almost every prominent. business man
has appointed himself a, committee of

that will assure & suitable structure for
the Democratic gathering. and every en-
ergy will be bent toward fulfilling the
pledges made to the national committee
at Washington on Feb. 2S. Said Henry
w. Evans, president of the Convention
Hall Building company:
We must and will arise to the occa-
sion, and on July the Democratic con-
vention will assemble In a new and a
grander convention hall. ; We have the
foundation, the money and the deter
mination; all we need is the steel, and
we have assurances that that will be
forthcoming. Say for the directors that
friends of Kansas City all oyer the Unit
ed States need not fear for us. We will
be equal to this latest test of our de-
termination, patriotism and resources"
A mass meeting will be held tonight
to raise whatever additional funds may
be needed to complete the work. Al
ready the entire sum has practically been
pledged.
1t is believed that a big percentage
Of the old steel beams and bases will be
available, as they broke away from their
supports and were not warped or seri-
ously injured by the fire. Daniel Bonte-
dau, a leading engineer, will immedi-
ately make an inventory OF the iron that
may be used again, and will then go to
Pittsburg with plans for the iron struc-
tural work, and determine definitely how
soon the steel can be delivered.
F. e. Hill, the architect who built the
old hall, was engaged today to con-
struct the new one. He has all the plans
for the structural iron work, so that the
mill securing the contract can start in at
once.
Benjamin Taylor, the superintendent
Of construction of the former building, is
now In the employ OF the Metropolitan
Street Railway company. His services
have been also offered to the directors,
free of charge
The directors will use every effort and
influence to have the hall ready for the
convention, and will succeed If they gain
the cooperation of one of the big iron
mills This is the opinion Of j. A. Wad-
dell, a noted bridge engineer. with whom
the directors consulted today.

an unqualified success. the large audito-
rum being entirely filed The audience
was made up almost entirely Of women.

smile. that the admiral had a mind of his

Democrat?" the admiral was asked. and.
after a moments hesitation, he replied:
Yes, think 1 can answer that. Yes,
1 am a Democrat"
If the Republicans nominate Mckinley

presidency, would you run independents"
Il won't answer that"

porter, to which the admiral replied:
Pennsylvania usually goes Republican.

has been little excitement during the past
week. The Beers shell fire comes In titful
gusts and has little effect The British
casualties are almost NIL. The Beers
seem to be breaking up their main laager

trenched position northward, with the
view of preventing the approach of a re-
lief. SharpshooterS keep up a steady
interchange of fire. 1t is rumored that
relief is near. The usual Sunday truce
enables the garrison to continue playing

PRESIDENT STEYN CHEERFUL.
PRETORIA, Monday, April 2.-In his
speech at the opening of the Free State
raad President Steyn declared that in
spite of the surrender of Bloemfontein
he had not lost hope of the triumph of
the republican cause. The war, he said,
was forced upon the Transvaal, and
nothing remained for the Orange Free
State but to throw in its lot with the
sister republic, in accordance with the
terms of the treaty. The war; he con-
tinued, was begun with the object Of
maintaining by arms the independence
bought with the blood of the forefathers
of the nation, and had been so successful
that 1t caused the greatest wonder
throughout the world and even to the
Beers themselves. After paying tribute
to the memory of Gen. Joubert, Presi-
dent Steyn said that the British, not
withstanding their overwhelming num-
bers were violating the flag of truce and
the Red Cross and he was compelled to
report the matter to the neutral powers
The president further remarked that the
attempt to create dissension among the
burghers by the issuing Of proclamations
hadefaied.
