Beers Have Destroyed Part of
Railroad Line.

London, December 24.-Lord K1tohe-
per's dispatches breathing confidence
hardly justified by their contents, are al
most the only available news from the
ssat OF hostilities In South Africa; but
kilograms from Caps Town depict the
situation in anything but rosests views.
without believing the assertion Of the
Transyaal agency In Brussels that six
thousand Boers have invaded Cape Col
ony, it is quite evident that the invasion
was a serious and well planned affair. In
connection with this q correspondent
sends an extremely interesting letter,
dated Bethulie, December first, describ-
ing General DE Wet ana his doings.
ode Wet has never been taken serious
ly enough" says the correspondent.
'sIt is Of little use to pursue him as he
fights a rear guard action and gains
twenty miles while he Is being fought.
He Is a bora military genius whoss won
derful powers havs kept mp this pheno m
email resistance.
"Once he fails. the whole thing could
te crushed In fortnight. he has every
single commando under his supervision,
All his patrols and columns march and
countermarch on his order. His forces
under his command have heen reduced by
his strength of Will TO a properly organ
izsd army, moving at his word. The
sooner the British rid themselves OF the
idea that DE Vets forces are a mere
rabbIe, wandering aimlessiy, the sooner
they will grasp the need of the deter
mined effort which is necessary to cap
ture him."
The Cape Colony cabinet had an I'M
portant sitting yesterday Sunday. 1t
appears that the Beers have destroyed a
railway bridge ninety fees long about
twelve miles soutb of De Aar, and tnat
no Care malls have arrive at Bicem-
fontein for three days. :
Further anxiety has been. caused in
Cape Town by the discovery that during
the last two months, public bodies In
ont of, the way places have requisi-
toned supplies OF dynamite. The colonial
government is now endeavoring to re-
cover possession OF tseEe explosives and ID
removing all stores of arms and ammunl-
ton from suspe,tei depots.
Other advices from Cape Town repre-
sent the Dutch element in Care Colony al

wounded himself, was in precarious
condition at the Emergency hospital to-

All day long there was a continuous
stream OF visitors to see the wounded
man, hut the latter was particularly
anxious that none of his friends should

large number of friends in this oitv and

Gorham, N ii December 22.-Inves-

destroyed the beautiful Catholic church
here yesterday morning was the work OF
tramps, who probably went into the
building to sleep The loss on the build
ing and contents was $40. 0OO. and this is
almost covered by the insurance. The
Rev. Father Emerson states that the
work OF rebuilding VIII probably be be-
gun at oncs. The burned church was
erected four years ago. Offers of assis-
tanoe In building new church have
come from people who are not Catholics.

His Own weanons.

The extraordinary skill with which
Sir Edward Landseer painted animals
was due not merely to his mastery of
the brush, but also to his intimate
knowledge Of the animal world.
One of his many talents was the
power Of initiating to perfection the
cry of any creature with which he was
familiar
One day, when the artist happened to
be the guest of Lord Rivers,
he was requested to go and
see very savage dog that
was tied up in the yard. AS Landseer
approached the growing beast, he
dropped quietly upon his hands and
knees, and then, crawling forward,
snarled so alarmingly that the dog,
overcome with terror, suddenly snapped
his chain, jumped over the wall, and
was never seen afterward.

Los Angeles Hold.Up

Edwin Flint, prospector who ar
rived in the city from the desert, and
G. E. Swinson, who is employed at
Christopher's, were stopped in front
of the Evening Express office on
Second street, near Broadway, at 2
o'clock in the morning, by two men,
and Flint was relieved Of SIS.
They had been at the Vienna Buffet,
where an effort had been made to Sc
cure Flint's money after he mad spent
about $50 at that place.
They had some trouble with a young
man there and he left. They were en-
route to SWinton's room when two
men stopped them. One OF the men
showed gun into Flint's face and the
other, displaying a badge, said he was
an officer.
They searched Flint and secured all
his money, except what he held in his
hand when he removed it from his
pocket. They then searched Swinton.
He had purse containing $1.25, but
they did not take it. The two men
then disappeared and their victim at
once reported the matter to the Police

Mutiny and Fire.

San Francisco, Sept. 24.-The Ger
man transport Frankfurt has arrived
here from Japan and will at once be
prepared for the carrying of horses to
China. Soon after the vessel entered
the harbor five of her men were placed
in irons for mutinous conduct. While
in an intoxicated condition they re-
fused to take orders from their SUI
periors, and one of them made an at
tempt to assault U. Christek, the sec
ond engineer. The matter will be re-
ported to the German government.
The big German transport Bosnia,
which arrived here few days ago,
has cargo of coal on board which
is smoking and apparently ready to
burst into fines at any moment. 1t
is possible that most of the cargo will
have to be saved by spreading it out
ashore. The German government will
have to dispose of the coal as best it
can. 1t cannot be sold at this port,
for the reason that it is domestic
article and was brought here in a for
eign ship.

fresno's Young Poisoner Acquitted.

Fresno.-The case of Fred Hines,
the boy poisoner of his father, was
given to the jury shortly before noon.
The trial has been without sensational
features. No facts not known were
brought out. The strong point relied
on in the youths behalf is that un-
lou S! Fl Iepun pIIqo elnlBls eql Iep
that upon the prosecution devolved the
onus of proving that he was aware of
the enormity of the crime when COM
mitted.
Another point was that the testi-
mony did not. conclusiveIy show that
death was not primarily from other
causes than the poison. Fred main
tanned his familiar attitude of calm
impassiveness. The defense was that
he was driven by the brutality and
neglect of his father to commit an act,
the enormity of which he could not
realize. There was testimony of the
boys excellent character, and as one
witness put it, 81 wish every mother
had as good boy as Fred Hines. He
was housemaid and plow boy, and
both father and mother to his younger
brothers" On the other hand, there
was testimony by several witnesses
that the father was a drunkard and
worthless fellow.
The jury, after celebrating four
hours, returned at 8 o'clock verdict
of not guilty.

The foreman of a ranch in Califor-
MIA declares that rural free delivery is
worth thousand dollars a year to him
personally, because it keeps the hands
at home. This suggests one reason why
the service should be extended. Rest
less boys will be less anxious to 20 to
the city, when every day the postman
brings the best Of the city to them.
DR.. Pye-Smith, in an address before
the British Medical Association, pre-
scribed hard work as a remedy for
many ills. He declared that regular
and steady work is the best cure for
a thousand nervous ailments, and that
this is true is shown by the fact that
the hard working people are not those
who are affected by. these ills. He de-
clared that nervous prostration, wor-
ry, and brain tension are too often
synonyms for the effect Of gambling
and drink. There can be no question
that hard work is healthy, for it is
those who work hardest that live long
est, and the lazy die young. One ad-
vantage Of DR.. Pye-Smith's prescrip-
ton is that it is easily followed and
that the remedy is cheap.
