British Power in south Africa Doom
eel to Final Overthrow.

CHICAGO. April 1e--The final hopeless
ness Of the present struggle of the Beers
against Great Britain was yesterday ad-
mitted by Montagu White.
Il cannot say" said Mr.. White, that
] dare hope the Beers will win this war.
The vast difference in numbers in itself
makes such hope seem foolish. But I
have no hesitancy in saying that Great
Britain will never succeed in making the
South Africans loyal subjects.
1t is certain to be only a question OF
time until the rule Of the English Empire
in South Africa is overthrow and a great
and prosperous republic established. I
think the Beers may be able TO continue
the present war for eight or nine months.
and in that time win some marked victo-
lies over the English"

Fool Luck.

"You can bet 1t is always a fool for luck" said the man who has had his nose 10 the grindstone all his life.
 Now, there was Jack Shane of Ten nessee, who drew S25,0O0 in a lottery. Jack didn't know enough to go in out of the wet, but he had little money, and he bought ticket that won, while got ten and didn't fetch a cent. The winning number was 42, and when l saw Jack l asked him how he happen ed to take that number. We'll he said, 'you see, 1t was this way: I had a dream one night, and I dreamed that the door of my room opened all of a sudden and big number seven walked In. Then right after it came other sev- ems and more and more till the room was chuck full and I was about smoth- cred under them. Then I woke up and began thinking it over. I knowed that one seven wasn't the number to draw nor 77 nor 7,777, for there was mil lien of them, and no lottery had that many numbers. But figured awhile and at last made up my mind that sev- en times seven was 42, and 4o was the number. so I drawed that one. That was all there was to it.
 "Now,' concluded the talker, ''if that isn't case of fool for luck what the dickens is t?"--WaShington Star.

Kentucky Affairs Tied Up.

Two complete state governments, each claiming to be the regular and legal off cials, are in Frankfort and will remain, each claiming the right to administer the affairs of state until the question is ad- judicated in the courts. As anticipated, the banks refuse to recognize either of the contending factions, and as a result both are without money and the state funds are as securely tied up as they could be. Legislators, county as well as state officials and all kinds of contractors with the state will have to wait until somebody is authorized by a decision of the court to pay them. The charitable and penal state institutions are among the sufferers.
