DESPERATE FIGHTING.
May be Looked for in Africa
 for Months To Come
Severe British Measures Have Stirred Up Dangerous Discontent-Kru- gers Personal Popularity and Failure to Secure Aid.

London, Dec. S-Mr. Kruger's tour SaHsbury's recent statement that the European war of the future will more likely be due to the passions of the people than to the schemes of the gov ernment. The old Boer leader is gain ing undoubted personal success, and the strong sympathy felt for the two republics -has been confirmed by per sonal. contact with their chief. His whole-hearted concentration in his own mission has added dignity to his strong personality, which 1t was feared might be too uncouth to retain popu- lar admiration after his first appear ances. Instead, his willingness to make any personal effort that might serve his cause, as instanced by his un- failing response when any group of idle loaferS shout, bringing him bare headed to bow his greetings, has deep ened the universal feeling on the con- tinent that he is a most worthy head of a brave people.
 But how different with the govern ments themselves. Even the French cabinet, closely depending as it does upon popular support, has only been able to bid farewell to their guest with conventional phrases of regret and it is certainty that other governments will not give more.
 Meanwhile South Africa has settled down into black and hopeless desoIa- tion. The Boers attack and fight now as they never did during their early struggles. They have taken the az gressive in the Free State in coopera- tion with the commanders who are striking southward toward Cape Col ony. The exact strategic aim of this move they probably do no know chem selves. But 1t is race against race now. and if they can penetrate any distance into the Colony they may gather thousands of recruits. The problem of arming these has been simplified by the ease with which Gen. eral De Wet surprises British garri-

Chicago, Dec. 7.-Under the manipu- lation of Armour & Swift, and the CO., operation of Purcell & Tinkham's and

The combina- tion which has brought about this re- suit includes two of the big cold stor- age firms of the city, supposed to be the Western and the Monarch Cold Storage companies.

PASTORS OF THE BRONX
They Fall Out Over Letter Author iEing the Taking of An Ecclesias- tical Census-Priest Refuses to be Called a Liar and Suggested a Prize Ring Method of Arbitra- tion.

New York, Dec. S.-The relations be- tween certain of the Protestant and certain of the Catholic clergy of Will iamsburg are improved over what they were a few days ago, but even now, in the opinion of a good many of the fiocks over which, respectively, they have pastoral care, the situation leaves a good deal to be desired. The differ ences between the pastors had their origin in little circular leaflet of the Protestant clergymen a short time ago and to which were signed the names of three Of the prominent Catholic pastors of Williamsbridge and Wakefield. It was because of the fact that the names of these Catholic clergymen were sign ed to the circular that the discord arose.
 The three Catholic pastors in ques- tion-the Rev. John J. Carr of St. Mary's church, the Rev. Joseph Dwor- zak of St. Valentines and the Rev. F. P. Moore of St. Francis of Rome-all denied giving any authority to use their names on the circular, and, not only that, demanded and obtained a sweeping apology from the Protestant clergymen for taking the liberty of thus making use of ttheir signatures. This result, however, was not brought about before some very heated contro- versies had taken place involving even at least one invitation to adjourn to the parsonage back yard there and then to settle the collateral issues growing out of the theological discus sion according to the Marquis of Queensberry -rules. It was the Rev.

of the Protestants and the Catholic clergymen whose names were on the circular, and the Catholic clergymen demanded an apology. We consented to make the apology on the ground that what we had intended as an act of courtesy had proved displeasing. They maintained that we had been guilty of forgery in using their names. but this we denied and did not apoio- gize on that basis. When We signed the apology it was with the distinct agreement that it should only be printed in the form in which the origi- nal circular was printed and in one Of the local papers here which reproduced the circular. It was explicitly agreed that it should not be printed in any of the great New York dailies. If they violate their agreement We shall take action"
 And what will that action be-" was asked of MT. GrinneE.
 ''It may not be advisable to reveal our plans," said the clergyman, but I will say this much, that the circular has been reproduced in another form than that in which it originally ap- peared There are words italiciZe l that were not italicized in the origi- nal.'
 The Rev. Father Carr said that he had distinctly told MT. Grinnell, wken the latter approached him on ths sub jeot of the canvass, that he was mak- ing a canvass of the community on account of his own church and that he had no doubt the other Catholic cler- gymen were doing the same. as it was the custom to do this every year, and that he declined to join the general canvass

THE BAeY's LITTLE JOKE.
1t Worried the Fat Man. but He Tried
to Enjoy 1t.


1t happened in one of the late trains.
Everybody was trying to get to sleep,
and when the voice of baby was sud
denly lifted up III robust wall it was
not met with expressions of joy. 1t
cried steadily from Spring Garden
street to Columbia avenue Then it
accidentally dropped pasteboard box
it had. A very stout and, like his kind,
very affable man across the aisle
stopped heavily and picked it up.
The child stopped crying as it took
1t and promptly dropped 1t again. The
man. thinking 1t an accident, picked
1t up once more. This time the baby
actually smiled. and as he threw it
down audibly cooed with delight. The
man looked distinctly uncomfortable
and became interested in something
outside the window. The child looked
at the box a moment, then at the man,
and, seeing nothing else, resumed his
wall, with much added wind. The
look Of despair resettled on the face of
the woman with the headache, and she
gave a convulsive shudder as she felt
her head beginning to jump.
She gave one awful glance at the
baby and then leaned over to the stout
man, back of whom she was sitting.
my dear sir" said she, 81 have vio-
lent headache. and | am in misery.
Won't you please pick up that box
again?" And with a highly artificial
smile he complied. Out of pure cour-
tesy he became box lifting autom-
atom, his piles of adipose making each
stoop come harder. But when he wip-
ed the perspiratiOn from his brow and
staggered out of the car at German
town he got grateful smile from the
afflicted woman. as well as every other
passenger, that he felt paid him.

A STORY or DAN RICE.
The Great Clown Did Not Forget the
Tent Mans Bill.

Tent Mans Bill.
One story of Dan Rice, the veteran
circus clown, illustrates his strict sense
of honesty and gratitude for favors.
Once he was stranded In Cincinnati,
the story goes, and was unable to start
show on the road because he had no
tent and could not raise money to buy
one The tent Rice needed would be
worth $500. The manager of tent
concern sent for the clown one morn
ing and, taking him to his factory,
showed a big tent that was just finish
ed. Rice looked at it with hungry eyes.
He turned away, with sigh.
Fine tent, don't you think?' asked
the canvas maker.
Rice looked back at it over his shout
der, with another deep sigh.
"Its yours" said the tent man.
Rice was like playful kitten in an
instant
81 believe there is lot of money In
you yet" said the canvas man. "You
take that tent and start your show,
and If You ever get money enough to
pay me for 1t the price is $4,000"
Within two weeks Rice was on the
road with a show and began a success
full career. For Is years he never re-
ferred to the tent, although he often
met the man who made It, One after
noon he asked the tent man to be his
guest at one of his shows, then In Gin
cinnati. The two sat looking on, and
Rice remarked
"Fine show, don't you think?"
The canvas man declared that it GER
tainly was.
"By the way" added Rice there's
that $1,000 / owe you" He took roll
of bills out of his pocket and handed it
to the tentmaker, who pocketed it with
out unrolling it. The old tent man low
ed to relate this story and always de-
clared that the great men of this coun-
try were P. 7. Barnum, John Robinson
