Believed the News That Hamil-
ton Has Occupied Win
burg Is Accurate.
IS STILL A LONG way OFF OF !;
Idea That the Relief OF Mafek-
Ing Ia in Sight Appears to- h
Be Premature.
BoerS in That Quarter Are Still
6toutly Resisting the Brit
ish Advance. 5s<Ss

LoNDoN, May lord Roberts Il
making better progress than any one
had dared to hope and is meeting with
success at all points. The only newsof
the actual occupation Of Winburg IL the
incidental reference to it in the dis
patch from Vet River describing Cen
eral Pole. Oarew's operations, but as the
latest news Of General Hamilton's op-
erations, dated Saturday morning, was
that he was then preparing to force the
difficult passage over Little Vet river,
on the Bloemfontein- Winburg road,
there can be no doubt that the news Of
the occupation is accurate. s $,s%
+: The Beers, following their customary
practice, had evacuated their positions
on the Vet river during Saturday night.
As Lord Roberts, advancing along the
railway, and General Hamilton, 20
miles to tho east, threatened tho two
wings Of the Boer forces, it would not
be surprising to hear that they had also
evacuated Winburg. :, *|.@
General Hamilton's advance will pre-
vent the Boer forces in the direction of
Thaba N'Chu joining their main army
near Winburg. .~sse
General Rumble on Saturday had ar
rived in pursuit Of the Beers seven
miles north Of Thaba N'Chu, compel
ling tho Beers to retire in an easterly
direction. - E,%G
Hunters Progress Slow @ss
General Hunters progress, although
slow, is satisfactory. The idea that the
relief Of Matching is in sight, however,
appears to have been premature, az the
Beers in that quarter are still stoutly
resisting the British advance. n@ zs+
According to a dispatch to the Daily
Mail from Cape Town special expedi-
ton to the westward left Kimberley q
few days ago and win 4endeavor to -.
ieve Matching, while General Hunter
and Lord Methuen are operating On
either side of the Vaal river in conjunc-
ton with Lord Roberts army.
From Lourenzo Marques comes va
rious rumors that Colonel Plumer has
been reinforced and is again advancing
toward Mafeking. Another report says
that Mafeking has been relieved and
General Lommer, with 5000 Beers, cap.
tured at Fourteen Streams.
Women have been placed in the gov
eminent Offices in the Transyaal in order
to relieve burghers for active service. :.
The volksraad will. meet in Pretoria
during the day. Probably the sitting
will be memorable.

The Courtesy OF the t1uD.
Boston is nothing if not courteous,
and this characteristic seems to ex-
tend to every phase of life in the mod
ern Athens, not excepting the profess
sional gentlemen who surreptitiously
appropriate to themselves the belong
ings of others. Here, for instance, is an
example Of Bostonian courtesy which
is highly commendable: a busy law.
yer turned the other day from his work
IN courtroom to find that his costly
overcoat, which he had hung against
the wall, had been stolen. Shivering
and angry, he hurried to his office, to
find there package awaiting him. In
this package were several private pa
pers and handbook belonging to him
which he had placed in the pockets of
his overcoat. Between the leaves of
the bankbook was pawn ticket for
the overcoat. which had been pawned
for SIS. Thus the thief got the money,
and the owner got an immediate clew
to the whereabouts Of his coat, doubt
less pleased at being thus relieved of
further worry and probably willing to
redeem the coat without making q fuss
with the police. ~ = .s .ss4. ~
There is in this system much to com.
mend, though it can hardly be hoped to
find such exhibitions of polite thievery
outside the Hub.

BIG VERDICT GIVEN AGAINST RAIL
ROAD.
Attorney Martin Awarded SIS, 500.

The largest verdict ever given in
Pennsylvania in a suit tor damages
for injuries was rendered in the
United States District Court at
Scranton last Thursday, in the
action brought by John T. Martin,
now of Easton, against the Della
ware and Hudson Company. The
damages awarded are SIS, 500, a
little more than half the amount
asked.
The action arose through the COL
lision Of a Delaware and Hudson
train, in which Mr.. Martin, then a
practicing attorney, was CON-
ing from his home in Olyphant,
with Lackawanna freight train at
a grade crossing, the allegation
being that the Delaware and Hud-
son engineer had disregarded the
ball signal, which was against him.
The attorneys for Mr.. Martin were
Major Everett Warren, Joseph
O'Brien and Nathan Vidaver, while
the Delaware and Hudson was re-
presented by Judge Jessup and for
mer Attorney General Palmer.
Bruce Black was on this jury.

Instructions for Registrations of Letter by
Letter Carriers.

The Postoffice Department al
Washington has issued the following
set of instructions to the public in
regard to the new house to house sys
tenn of registration by letter carriers.
The new system will be great con-
venience, as it will no longer be neces
sary for person to go to the postot-
fee in order to have a valuable letter
registered.
In giving to residents Of cities the
advantage of having their letters reg
istered at their own door, the provs-
ions of the "Eight-hour Law" as ap-
piled to carriers, make it necessary
for the Department to exact certain
requirements, which, though easy OF
fulhllment, are, nevertheless, impera-
tive.
I. Only letters can be registered /;
and they must be ready in every re-
spect when the carrier calls, for he is
forbidden, on pain of dismissal, to
wait even a fraction of a minute
longer than is necessary to write the
receipt.
2. Every letter must be inclosed in
an envelope strong enough to safely
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1900-03-29

carry contents, and be in perfect con
dition. The envelope must bear
name and address Of sender, name oi
addresse and his postoftice address
and have the postage and registry fee
prepaid, either with stamps attached,
or money, the exact amount to De
paid to the carrier. The writing on
envelope must be plain and legible.
If you have failed to comply with
any of these requirements, the carrier
is obliged to refuse your letter and
hand you a card. If it be properly
prepard, he will register the letter on
his next trip.
Your receipt will be written by
him and show the amount OF money
paid him for postage and fee, when
stamps are not attached to your let
ter. If there be surplus, 1t will be
returned from the postoffice.
Carriers are forbidden to make oral
explanations, or engage in discussions
with patrons, to register letters free,
to advance money or stamps to pay
postage, or to make change. The
card shows plainly their duty in every
case, and the rules laid down on 1t
must be strictly complied with.

unmallable for any cause when 1t

A New Bug Coming,
His Name Alone Sufficient to Territy Human
Beings.

A sort of man. eating humble bee,
known as the "cornorhinus sanguissi-
gus" is making his way nothward
from Mexico. He is also known as
the blood-sucking conenose, but is
usually called cannibal bug tor short.
DR.. L. o. Howard, chief of the divis-
ion of entomology IN the department
of agriculture at Washington, discov-
cred him. He-that is, the cannibal
bug-belongs to the Reduviidae fam
lily.
His plan of action is to fly into a
window in the dead of night and take
a bite or two of anybody who happens
to be within reach.
He differs from the kissing bug in
that he never bites the lips. He al
ways goes for more substantial parts
of the anatomy. Arms are his favorite
tid-bits. He prefers plump arms to
slim ones, but if there are nothing but
thin ones in sight he will take bite
anyway, just to be soc'able. Cornor-
linus somewhat resembles a bundle
bee in size. He is bright and speck-
led with myriad legs, AMI he has a
three -jointed beak which rests in a
groove between his fore leg when not
in use, and which, when in use, can
create more excitement in CON-
munity than full grown man in an
old maids convention.
