The surrender of brave General Cronie does not by any means end the war in South Africa.

Cronje's holding out for nine days against an opposing army of Al, 1000 is one of the greatest military accomplishm ents in the history of the world. It was estimated that Cronie had 5000 men to Roberts 45,- 900, but when the Boer surrendered he had only 5000 men. Were the estimates wrong or have the 5000 escaped? Surely ve don't suppose they are lying dead in that lager Many war experts are of tho opinion that Cronje sacrificed him. self and his (now apparently smalD force to save the Free State, allowing the Burghers there time to prepare for Roberts' advance.

Rev B. F. Kidder of Winsted deliver cd strong address against entertain ments in the church, while speaking to . gathering of Methodist ministers in New Britain on Tuesday. He asserted that it was . question of vital import ance as to whether entertainments, fairs or festivals should be held in the church of God. If they were g part of His method of evapgelizing the world. then they sho i'd be employed; if they were not, the church had driited from it's ideal. He said that Jesus weat to the synagogue te preach but no one could Imagine Him going there to eat sup per. He made . comparison of Jesus driving the money changers from the temple with His possible actions at . festival in modern church. There was notLing in Scripture to sanction such affairs. Jesus had no use for the merry Andrews and merchandizers in His church. The majority of the clergy men did not agree with MT Kidder.

BUSY DAY IN COURT.
Woman Beater Sent to Sitka for Six

One man was sentenced to six months at Sitka for assault and battery. woman was fined $50 and costs for keep ing a house of ill fame, a citizen was be- fore the court for assault upon Marshal Tsnner, and Webb, Burns and German, charged with stealing Gertie Duval's da> monds, were In the court, but their hear ing was postponed until TO o'clock ths morning.
 Charles Sweeney was brought before the court on the charge of assault and battery on Mattle Powell night before last. He pleaded guilty and the judge meted him out six months In which to repent. Sweeney had been drinking, and while In his cups he knocked the woman down and kicked her. The woman was not severely hurt, but the court thought It besr that such work should not go unpunlshed.
 Louise Elem and Evan Elem, sisters, were up for keeping house Of ill-fame In the rear of the store of H. Felltz, tent deal- CT. Mr. Felltz preferred the charge. The count found Louise guilty and fined her $50 and costs. The other girl was discharged as not guilty. lt was learned she Is mere Iy a guest of her sister.
 A warrant vas sworn out yesterday be- fore Judge Sehlbrede by Laura Garnett charging Corene Gaay .and Mrs. Anna BiSSler with assault yn her. They live in house at the west end of Sixth avenue, near the United States barracks, Miss Gray Is the daughter of Mrs. BlSsler Mr. BiSsler also lives with the family.

Their case will be heard before Judge Sehlbrede today.
 While the BlSSlerS and Miss Gray and Miss Gamett were in the midst of the fam ily troubles at 5 o'clock yesterday morn ing, a lamp in the house was overturned, presumably in some struggle between the principals, and a fire narrowly averted. The soldier on patrol in front of the barracks noticed the flames or heard the cries, and immediately gave the alarm. The mIli- tary fire fighters turned out promptly, and lUenehed the flames ere they had done more damage than the burning of rug, few wall decorations and some bed elOth- ing.

 "The bench claims are to furnish the great output of gold this season.
 Greeks that heretofore have not cut much figure in the Klondke output are coming to the front, among them being Sulphur and Gold Run. Sulphur is big payer.
 "One of the most fl not the most phe- nomenal strikes ever made in klonilke, has been on 46 abov. on Sulphur. On the very top of the pay dirt the yield was Go cents to the pan, and it grew richer and richer the deeper down. The pay streak is six feet deep and it is not known how wide. lt is simply immense. forget the name of the owner, but one thing sure he has a marvellous piece of property.
 "There are 500 steam thawers in the klondike.

Mrs. II. Welsman. whom many will re- member as one of the pioneers of Skag- way and afterwards as a hotel proprietor In Dvea, states that Fred Clavson left Daw- son Sunday morning, December I7.

He also wore a diamond ring, which she could readily identify.
 Tom Furth, partner of Fred ClavSon, who resides In Klondlke City, is authority for the statement that Clavson left Daw- son not on the I7th, as reported, but on the nth of December. He says that ClaySon had very little money with him, but car ried draft, signed by Furth, for s2ooo.

YUKON NH0LfSALING.
Mr. vining Thinks Skagway Should
 Control It.

Ell. Vining, formerly in business in Sksgway, but who for some time has been trading between here and DlwS)n' eN- presses the opinion that Skagwav certain lyshould control the wholesale business of the Yukon basin. One reason fer th.> opinion Is that orders ean be sent here and hled tn so mu,h shorter time than if sent Co Seattle.
 "l spent twenty days" he said. "in making trip from Skagway to Seattle and return to buy goods. Hid bought my goods in Skagwav and gone straight back to Dawson would have had time to make another trip to the coast.
 Beside which, on the goods purchased to Seattle had to pay duty and freight, and on getting to Dawson found they had not been shipped to me. The goods came eventually. but had tO pay duty a second time on th. m. Had l purchased in Skag- way 1 should have been able to inspect the goods before shipping and would not have had to pay duty a second time. How happened Co pay twice was because the officials would not believe that the goods were the same as l had already paid on, but held it was a new shipment.
