got away, for the present at any rate.
The latest press dispatches from Pre-
toria dated June 3, quote General Botha
as saying, 80 long as we can still count
on our thousands of willing men we
must not dream of retreat or throwing
away our independence.
General Botha, it is added, annulled
the regulations appointing special com
mttec to preserve order, substituting
military control for that of the commit
tee.
General Lucas Meyer, addressing the
burghers on the Church square, urged
them all to stand fast.
Thus though their efforts were pitiful-
ly futile, it is evident that few faithful
Boer generals worked desperately to re-
sist the overwhelming British force.

PRAISES THE CHIEF JUSTICE.
Methodist Minister Says He Was
Popular at Chicago.

The following is an extract from a
letter received by local Methodist
from friend in another city, who is a
Methodist minister and was delegate to
the General Conference, about which he
was writing:
"The Chief Justice has been one OF the
most noticeable and attractive figures i'll
the body, greatly, even splendidly, use
fui as chairman of the judiciary commit
tee. The body gave him high respect
and grew fcnder OF him day by day. No
man was more truly popular. An artless
dignity of nature and personal charm
of genality made him attractive and ad.
mirable. His clear head and quite con
else utterance made the conference like
to listen to him. Wilmington contrib
uted to the conference fine element o
sweet, high-minded manhood when i
elected him."

SECOND SUIT HELD UP.
in First Case Against Clerk
Of Market.

The second case of j. w. HALL against
Clerk of Market Connell for false arrest,
will be held up Tor the present at least
and probably indefinitely. Had not such
a large verdict, $500. been secured in the
first case the second case would have
been put ON trial 1t is said the evidence
which can be produced is even stronger
than in the first.
The second arrest took place last Sep
tember. Hall was still occupying his old
stand which was the one in dispute.
Clerk Connell says that when he ar
rested Hall he thought the city solicitor
was going to defend the case.
j. w. Hall is satisfied with the amount
of the verdict received.

successors would see that the trees were
cared for and when needed, defective
ones replaced.
l would like to arrange that Park

no separation in the accounts and be
called Gilpin and Park avenue tree fund.
The check and proposition was accepted
with thanks Of the board.

II is Just as easy TO drift into danger
as to drive into il. The progress is slower
but the end is equally sure. II is the
gradual progress Of drifting which blinds
to the danger. Men and women drift into
ill-health In such q way. There is a
little feeling of oppression after eating.
After time il passes away. Some day
1t returns and brings another symptom
headache, perhaps. Something Is done
to relieve the headache, but nothing to
relieve the cause. So one more victim
goes drifting on to the rocks Of disease.
Young women who are teaching or
studying are very apt to become victims
Of disease of the stomach. They eat in
judiciously, in some cases, and in gen.
eral the hyain Is too occupied to allow
the stomach the blood necessary to carry
on its functions. Hence in time the
organs of digestion and nutrition are
totally deranged, and the young gradu-
ate goes home . chronic invalid.
The timely use of DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery will avert such con-
dition; the faithful use of it in chronic
cases will effect q complete cure.
