A SHREWD AND REMARKABLE
WOMAN.
Is Firm Believer in Palmistry, ana
Has Made Study of the Science
Her Character.

General Commander Bothas wife, who,
was left behind in Pretoria, is a small.
dark woman, with clear cut features
and shrewd, bright expression, and
as ladies are only as old as they look
she mus be well on the sunny side of
forty. Mrs. Botha is of Scotch descent
and has been very well educated She
is decidedly clever, has considerable az
tistic talent, and her powers of organi-
cation are almost equal to those of LORD,
Kitchener himself Only last year Mrs.
Botha visited England, and, during hey
voyage back to Africa she was invalua-
BILE in helping get up entertainments on
board ship. Indeed, it was this trait
which got her. so to say, into society,",
for at first the principal lady passen--
gers rather held alOOf, until by degrees.
Mrs. Botha's attractive personality
made itself felt, and she was consulted
and her advice taken about the various
amusements which beguiled the jour
ney to the Cape.
Mrs. Botha is a firm believer in PALM
istry; has studied the so-called sci
ence' very thoroughly, and reads peo--
pies hands in professional style Short
ly before the war broke out she aston
ished a young Englishman by the accu-
rate way in which she described his
character, talents and ambitions, while
she predicted that he would soon be
engaged in more sensational pursuits
and have a narrow escape for his life
AS he Joined a corps of mounted infan--
try when the war broke out and had
many hairbreadth escapes on scouting
expeditions with the late Captain De
Montmorency, " c., he regards Mrs
Botha as a most accomplished palmist.
Lord Roberts and his staff will find her
much more interesting companiOTR
than Mrs Kruger when they visit these
important ladies in Pretoria.

Something About Cement.

We are in receipt of letter from Mr.
Major, the famous cement man, OF New
York, in which he sets forth some very
interesting facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this stand
ard article know that it is many hum
dred per cent. better than other
cements, for which similar claims are
made, but great many do not know
why. The simple reason is that Mr..
Major uses the best materials ever dis
covered and ether manufacturers c.
not use them, because they a:e 10

elements Cf his cement costs $3 75 a
pound, aud another costs So IS a gallon,
while large share of the So called
cements and liquid glue upon the
market are nothing more than sixteen
cent glue, dissolved in water or. cltri'
acio, and, in some cases altered slight y
in color and ,dor by the addition OF
cheap and useless materials.
M6jer's cement tails at fifteen cents
and twenty-five cents bottle, sno
when a dealer tiles to sell substitute
you can depend upon it that his only
object is 10 make larger prt fit.
The profit on Majors cement is as
much as any dealer ought TO make Oh

in view of the fact that each dealer gets
his share Of the benefit Of Mr.. Majors

RICE'S DEATH.
ConsuItatiOn Of Authorities WIN Be
Held Today.

New York, October 28.-FolloWing the
announcement OF Prof. Whitthaus' dis
covery of enough mercury to cause death
in the kidneys and intestines Of William
Marsh Rice, the old millionaire whose
sudden death more than a month ago
led to so many sensational developments
and the chemists further statement
that mercury formed no part of the fluid
used in embalming the body, a cOnsulta-
ton of the authorities will be held tOmor-
row which may decide the next step in
unraVelling the mystery. Although the
amount Of mercury found In the body
was sufficient to kill a man, if admin
istered in a soluble form, Prof. Whit
thaus did not say so In his hrst report
He was then asked to make this plain in
an additional statement and to tell If he
could form any idea whether this poison
might have been a principal ingredient
of any medicine the old man was taking,
or If it must have been administered with
some ulteriOr motive.
That the old man had penchant for
patent medicines and that he frequently
took them is admitted by his physicians
and others who knew him. DR.. Curry
says that in none of the medicine pre-
soribed for the old millionaire by him
was there any mercury but he adds that
he found Mr.. Rice was taking a medicine
that was given to him by a friend, and
that 1t was not without some argument
that he induced his patient to stop tax.
ing 1t.
An endeavor to learn what dru gglst
prepared the medicine prescribed by DR..
Curry for Mr.. Rics, was futile today.
Many pyshicians spoken to, agreed that
one OF the easiest ways to bring about q
mans death would be the administration
Of mercury in minute doses. They also
said that The symptoms of Illness noted
in Mr.. Rice just previous to his death
would be caused by this poison, given in
this manner.
For week bsfore Mr.. Rice's death,
he was Ill. and he WAS led to believe this
resulted from his partaking Of several
baked bananas. He was weak but be
did not seem to fear he was In any imme
diate danger OF death.

AMERICAN JOCKEYS DEFENDED

London, October 29. The question Of
English Vs American methods IN the rae
Ing world continues to agitate the sport
ing writers for the London press. The
Daily Telegraph again protests against
the idea that the supporters OF Lord
Durham are animated by feelings OF
jealousy and points to instances of warm
welcome extended to American owners
and jockeys.
The Times, after remarking that 1t
would be difficult to overpraise the ser
vices Of Lord Durham has rendered to the
cause Of turf reform, says:
There is no doubt that, If he possesses
evidence of the alleged misdeeds OF
American jockeys, the stewards will be
pleased to give it careful. consideration
but the tone OF his letter Of Wednesday
last does not indicate that he possesses
such evidence as he rather modifies
what he said in his speech at the jockey
club about Newmarket being the dump.
ing ground for American jockeys.
''It is unfair to single out American
jockeys or even their followers, as worse
than English, without cOgent evidence
to support such an allegation. American
followers are not whit more undesira-
BILE than English ruffians such IS have
always been the curse Of race courses.
