The surrender Of General Cronje,
says the Baltimore Sun, is, of course,
a severe blow to the cause Of the
brave people of the South African
republic, who have few men to spare.
but it is not necessarily the end OF
the struggle. If we are to judge the
future by the past, there is still a
hard road to travel before the Eng
lish armies become masters of the
situation. But whether the end
comes next week or next year, there
can be no difference of opinion as to
the magnificent fight made by CronJe
against overwhelming odds. The
history of war show few instances
which equal the splendid achievement
of a few thousand unit aimed Boer
farmers in holding at bay for 10 days
an army OF $4,000 men composed OF
the best soldiers of the great British
Empire and commanded by one of its
most experienced generals. The
four or five thousand Beers who for
all this time have held their own
against $4,000 trained soldiers. aided
by modern artillery and that sanity
agent of higher civilization, lyddite'
can have no reason to blush for their
surrender. They have made the
name of Beers synonymous with hero
and have adorned defeat with more
glorious laurels than victory can Oft
en- boast.

AN ELEGANT
RESIDENCE.
Jos. l.. Kelly's Beautiful Home
In North Bristol.

A notable ornament to the resi-
dence portion of North Brist oil is the
handsome brick and stone residence
of Mr.. Jos. l.. Kelly, Of the law firm
of BuIitt and Kelly. Mr.. Kelly is
highly pleased with his new home IN
the Bristol Home company's addition,
with its commanding view of the
great range of mountains to the east
and its equally interesting view OF
portions Of the city. 1t is piece OF
work of which he may well he proud
While it is not the costliest residence
in the city, still it is a commodi"us
and beautiful structure and ranks
among the very best houses here.
The foundation is of solid stone,
while the exterior above the ground
is of repressed brick, with stone trim,
mings. Spacious porcheS so well
around the front and sides OF the
building. =,
The interior arrangement IS all
that could be desired, every apart
ment being noted for the convenience
of it's location. The reception hall IS
artistically arranged and the parlorS
and other rooms adjoining are pro-
vided with sliding doors by means OF
which all can be thrown into one IN
the event of an occasion demanding
much space. Every apartment, room
or closet common to the modern man
sion will be found in Mr.. Kelly's res
idence, and when the building Is COM
pleted it will not be lacking in
elegance of finish nor in any OF the
conveniences that belong to a first
class home.
The building has been provided
with furnace for steam heating, al.
though every room is being provided
with CRATE. There will also be
two elegant bath rooms, and the
building will be lighted by electricity
1t will probably be May 10 before
this building is completed.-Br'sto'

A SYSTEM of cooperation for the
coming summer has been arranged
between the Division of Forestry and
the forest reserve work of the U. S.
Geological Survey. The latter is a
branch of the Department of the In
terror. Field parties of each division
will collect information desired by
the other, and, in some instances, ex'
change of men may be made. This
system marks a distinct change from
conditions Of few years ago, when
there was shary rivalry between the
scientific branches of Government
service. The Geological Survey will
give especial attention to collecting
data on forest fires for the Division
Of Forestry.

TYpEwRlrERs in Spain are consld'
cred at present a luxury, and not a
necessity, among business men; and
although in time manufacturers, law
yers, and others will use them, still,
of course, if the price is increased, SO
also will be the difficulty in introduc-
ing them, as none are made in that
country. According to the new
Spanish tariff, typewriters, which
formerly paid less than 2 cents pei
pound weight, are now dutiable at
over Ga cents per pound weight, OIL
about thirty-two times as much as
before. An ordinary typewriter
weighs from 20 to 80 pounds with

CHOSE THE WRONG WAY.

Chicago chose the wrong solution Of
the water publication problem that con
frOnted her wien she built her sewage
canal.
Whatever Chicago may say to the con
;rary. the publication Of her water sup
ply was the real reason for the COLI
struction of her SD. 900, 600 sewage
ditch. Chicago drained into the Chicago
River. which naturally emptied into Lake
Michigan. She tried first to maintain Il
flow TO the westward in the river by
big pumps at Bridgeport, which lifted
the pollution of the Chicago River into
the Illinois and Michigan Canal. Fol
lowing every heavy fall of rain, how
ever. the Chicago River WIS flushed into
Lake Michigan, despite the bridgeport
pumps. In this way il defiled the water
that entered through Chicago's water
works intakes n mile or SO out iU the
lake. So Chicago built her canal. The
desire to build n navigable ship canal
had nothing To do with the genesis Of
the work. That was merely the gold
plating Of the brass brick which Chi
cagc sold to the communities in Illinois
which objected to her sewer.
C~hicaCo'S proper COURSE would have
been either to dispose of her sewage in
some othyr way than dumping it into
