Roberts grasp. Gen. Eelarey IS oe-

The operations have been hamperen
with bad weather, thunderstorms ana

fight is expected and that, if the Beers
are beaten President Kruger will trek
through Swaziland to Delagoa Bay
and take a steamer for Europe.
A dispatch from Fouriesburg dated

Fouriesburg was preceded by heavy
fighting to force, a passage of the

tested for two days. Gen. Hunter

amounting to about 100. Upward of

time. AS soon as his agitation was
calmed he insisted on dressing and
saying mass for the repose of the soul
of the king. Later he received Princess
Clothilde, sister of the queen. The au-

Charity.

There are strange instances some
times of the truth of the saying that
the poor are better to their kind than
the rich. In one Of the streets running
out of Broadway in front of one of
those big edifices which are half office
and half factory building an old wom-
an stations herself nightly and holds
out a tin cup for stray pennies.
Occasionally she forgets herself and
sits there long after the people In the
building have gone home. This hap
pened one night recently, and as the
writer was passing long after Z o'clock
he saw two lads coming along the de-
serted street. One of them noticed the
old crone and after passing retraced
his steps and threw a penny in the cup
she held. There was no one to see his
charitable act and no one to praise
him. His clothing was ragged, and
his condition betokened want almost
as much as the individual who bene-
fitted by his generosity. 1t is not al
ways those with plenty of money who
are the most lavish with 1t or who deny.
themselves the most readily. New

over IN front of the gun, and sat
down, his right foot being in line of
the muzzle. AS they were thus seat
ell, talking, Spiller called his dog to
him, and while the dog was Jumping

trigger and the gun went off. the

mans foot at the base of the toes.
He had to walk a mile in this con-
dition before help could be secured
to bring him to Belt. Drs. Vidal
and Patterson amputated the foot
this morning at the third joint, and
the patient is doing as we'll as can
be expected under the circumstance
es. Mr.. Spiller did not understand
the safety and did not set it, as he
only borrowed the gun for the trip.
