LAST REST {. c. Helrnuth.

I THEIR : DR.. Brown and
LAST REST c. c. He'mnth. :
In the death Of DR.. Zalmon K.
Brown, who passed away at St.
Mary's Hospital, Duluth, Friday
afternoon last, Virginia loses
one of her noblest citizens and
humanity loses tried and true
friend-a man whose memory
perisheth not and of whom none
speak but with kindness and sin
cere regret.
DR.. Brown was born at King
wood, West Virginia, in 1861,
his parents moving to Morgan.
town while he was yet an infant,
and where his youth and early
life was spent. He was. educated
IN the schools of Morgantown,
passing through the High School
and in 1882 graduating with high
honors from the West Virginia
State University, Nat that point.
Later he entered the Jefferson
Medical College at Philadelphia,
from which he graduated in '88.
Shortly thereafter he entered
upon a business career, entering
a partnership with DR.. D. H.
Courtney at his old home, which
partnership continued for a num-
Der of years. In the spring of
1893 he came to the range, first
settling at Mt. Iron but removing
to this city later the same year,
where a phenomenal practice at
tended his efforts and where the
loss of his medical skill is felt
even as is the loss of his hearty
greeting and cheerful presence.
During the summer DR.. Brown
passed through a tedious seige
Of typhoid; recovering therefrom
he started south for his health
in the early autumn, but at Du-
luth entered St. Mary's Hospital
where he underwent a difficult
surgical operation for an absce:s
of the liver, the subsequent cause
Of death.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted from St. Mary's Hospital

ceremonies were under the aus
plces of the Duluth lodgesof the
saa eeata order Qf Essssaf,
which deceased was an h0,h6ored
and beloved member, the remains
being taken to Morgantown for
interment, accompanied by his
brother, J. M. G. Brown. DR..
Robert L. Brown, of Cincinnati,
also accompanied the cortege as
far as Chicago.
DR.. Brown was a man of gem
ial manner and kindly DISPOSE
ton, attributes which won for
him the love and respect of all,
and the news of his demise and
the ending of his trying struggle
for life, while not unexpected,
cast q gloom over the entire com.
munlty.
In 1892 DR.. Brown was ma, ried
to Miss Lena Donley. of Mount
Morris, Pa. and a wife and three
children survive to mourn the
loss of kind and loving hus.
band and indulgent father. To
Their, in their irreparable loss,
is extended the sympathy of all
in this. their hour of sorrow; and
to them is also pointed the bright
star OF Hope of a future reunion
where there shall be neither sor-
row nor parting.

GOV. WOODS GENERAL ORDERS
They are Creating Sensation in
Havana-Americansa and Span
iards Anxious.

Santiago de Cuba, Feb. 2O.-Gov.-
Gen. Woods general orders specifying
the prerogatives of military command
ers and civil governors, are creating u
sensation here. The press, with the
exception of the violently partisan
local Cuban organ, comment favorably
upon them, saying that they indicate
an honest intention on the part of the
intervening government to fulfill the
pledge to establish the independence
of Cuba.
The Cuba Libre, which is antago-
nistic to the governor general, says the
general orders are merely n trick to
prolonG the American occupation"
The provision transferring public
works to the civil department on April
/ causes alarm among many American
employees, as they expect dismissal
when the transfer is made. The man.
ayers of American and foreign busi-
ness enterprises are also somewhat
concerned, as they have no confidence
in the coming Cuban administrat ton
of public affairs. The Spanlards, who
control the principal business under
takiDgs here, are particularly anxious.
As public improvements will for some
time be the principal source of busi-
ness, the SPaniards expect but little
patronage under Cuban administra-
ton.
Civil Governor Castillo says he will
cooperate with the military authori-
ties, but thousands of Cuban politi-
clans expect recognition when the
tra1 sfer is made.

French SWOrd-PistOls.

France has devised for her army q
new sword pistol which can be dis
charged at every thrust of the sword.
II is believed that with this weapon
cavalry attacks, particularly upon cav
airy. can be made more effective. The
weapon is designed to penetrate
armor, and, therefore, will be espec.
tally useful against cuirassiers, says
the New York Press. It weighs, OF
course, more than the ordinary caval.
ry sword, and when not used as a
frearm can be welded as an ordinary
sword. The pistol attachment is in
the hilt, with the muzzle pointing in
exact alignment with the sword blade.
Thrusting with the blade forces il
backward against the hilt with force
enough to release hidden spring.
which acts as the trigger in discharg.
ing the pistol. Thus each thrust also
fires shot,making the weapon doubl!
effective.

Venerable Max Muller.

Prof. Max Muller, who has just en-
tered on his SEVENTEEN year, was born
in Desseau, Germany, and has been
connected with Oxford university for
well nigh fifty years. The venerable
professor adds to his numerous for
eign honors that of member of the
French institute, and he is an honor
airy Ii. d. of Edinburgh, Cambridge
and Dublin. Music is Prof. Max Null
ler's principal recreation, and in this
he has found a solace in his enforced
abstention for some time past, owing
tc. the state of his health, from the
prosecution of his favorite studies.
Though he has yet completely recov-
ered from his recent illness there is a
marked improvement in his health.

necessary for some one to make the
perilous journey out on the rope to

Slowly Pushed the Advance.

Chieveley, Sunday, Feb. 1S.-Gen.
Butler has established his headquar-
ters on Hussar hill. Heavy artillery
flung was maintained at intervals by
both sides from Wednesday until Fri
day. The British slowly pushed the
advance, and their infantry occupied
and intrenched new positions in front
OF Hussar hill with slight losses. 1t is
believed that the lyddite worked havoc
in the Boer trenches.
The Beers are supposed to have
moved their big guns back over the
Tugela Friday afternoon. The rifle fire
has been heavy at times. The whole
country is thickly wooded.
The British operations are directed
to the capture of Hlangwane hill,
where the Beers are strongly fortified
and from which they are shelling the
British with great accuracy.
The British infantry are now dis
posed along line extending for seven
miles to the small kopjes at the base
of Monte Cristo hill. From six o'clock
Friday morning the British incessant
lv shelled Monte Cristo with the mex
separating it from Blaauw Krantz hill,
on the right.
The British infantry is making slow
pl lcgress up the mex, in the endeavor
to occupy Monte Cristo, which will
ensble them to enfilade the Beers on
HIaEgwane.

Cleared Them Out of Successive Po-

Birds River, Saturday, Feb. 1.-THE
position near Dordrecht now is that
the Beers occupy strong hill north
of the town, and that the British hold
commanding position to the south.
Both are maintaining brisk exchange
of shells over Dordrecht.
Gen. Brabant's horse, 1000 strong,
commenced the march from Penhook,
Thursday morning, over a trackless
veldt and through mountainous
and difficult country. Early
on Friday they were fired
upon, and the firing con-
tinued all day and well into the night,
the British clearing the Beers out of
successive positions, under a terrific
rife fire lasting eight hours.
Toward midnight Friday the British
forced the Beers at the point of the
bayonet out of their last position, an
important one, overlooking Dordrecht.
The artillery duel was continued to-
day.
The British casualties were eight
killed, including Capt. Crallan and
Lieut.. Chandler, and eight wounded.
The British captured some prisoners
and a quantity of forage and provi-
sions.

THE PURSUIT OF GEN. CRoNJE.

Magnificent Execution of Gen. Rob-
erts' Army-VitualinEt the Troops.
Jacobsdal, Orange Free State, Fri
day, Feb. 1S.-Lord Roberts combina-
tions for the movement of the corps
dovetailed with precision, although
obstacles that had not been foreseen
had to be overcome. The execution of
his design began at a. m. Sunday.
Ge.i. French rode into Kimberley,
Thursday afternoon, just when he was
due. according to the field marshars
time table, having, in four and half
days, marched 90 miles with artillery,
and having fought two small engage
ments.
The relief of Kimberley was accom-
plished with the loss of only so men.
Twenty thousand infantry made
splendid marches under a sub-tropicaI
sun and through a dust storm to hold
the positions which Gen. French took.
Lord Kitchener was with Gen.
fuckers division. In consequence of
his transport arrangements the four
divisions moving over the sandy veldt
are fed and watered. 1t is hardly pos
sible to appreciate adequately the
mathematical precision with which ev-
cry part of the transport department
has worked, marching through the
y,toiling almost sleeplessly through
out the ght,victualling the army and
evolving every hours results from
seeming chaos.
Everybody did what was expected
of him cheerfully, though enduring
frightful fa5igues. Few slept more
than three hours. The battalions, hour
after hour, toiled through the heavy
sand uncomplainingly, and when now
and then a man fell out of teh ranks,
exhausted, he would rejoin his COM
pany later after he had rested. Some
so or go were overcome by the heat
and had to be sent to the rear in the
backward defile of empty wagons.
The rapidity of Lord Roberts move
ments away from his base of supplies
has solved one of the problems-per-
haps the chief problem-of the war.
lie and Lord Kitchener have created a
mobile force able to move in exterior
lines, and to outfiank the Beers, them
selves so wonderfully mobile.
The position of the Beer army at
SFyttOnteln being untenaDle, zen.
Cronje ordered retreat. AT the mo-
ment this dispatch is written. it is un-
certain whether his whole force or
only a portion. has gone toward
Bloemfontein. 1t is possible that a
part is going north of Kimberley. 1t is
supposed that 29-ton gun is still in
the neighborhood of Kimberley. The
road from Jacobsdal to Modder sta
ton is now open.
Further details of the Boer retreat
show that the enemy has been fighting
a good rear guard action and occupy
ing successive kopjes in order to allow
the moving of the convoy, which, how
ever, has been going at a very slow
pace, the animals apparently being
dead beat.
The latest reports show that the
Beers in the neighborhood of Kip
kraals drift are undoubtedly dis
beartened.
Gen. French's magnificent march is
still the subject of admiration. espe-
cially in view of the dust storms and
thunderstorms that all experienced.

to have denounced the Goebel men as
