MAY NOT BE TRAPPED.
Lord Roberts's Chances of Catching
the Boers Growing slim.

LONDON, April 2s. 5 a. NIT is now APP
parent that the chances of Lord Roberts
catching the retreating Beers in a net are
very slender. The Beers have everywhere
retired at the first pressure of the British
advance and the hope that General Rumble
would be able to induce them TO remain at
Dewetsdorp until they had been forced to
fight or to surrender has been disappoint-
ing. No attempt was made to pursue the
commanders retiring from wepener.
Everything now depends on the progress
OF General Frenchs cavalry brigades. bat
they are entering a very difficult. hilly and
practically unknown country.
The cavalry have already had a long
march over heavy and sandy roads. and
nothing is known regarding the condition
OF the horses. In any case IL is now a race
between the federals and the forces of
General French and General Hamilton

Hive OF Them.
In an interview with an agent of the
Great Wallace Shows, which comes to
Richmond Friday, October 9th, in regard
to when clowns were first introduced in
the circus business, he said:
THE circus clown has his origin back
to the very beginning OF the circus it
SELF, and from time immemorial he has
been one of the most important fea-
lures. During the growth, development
and Improvement he has by no means
been left behind. He Isl funnier now,
and can do more tricks than ever before

Nowadays the clown who could not
do anything but grin and drive donkey
that played tattoo with his hind heels
on the dashboard Of a little cart, could
not get a job in ten years. He has to
be versa tile or look for some other posi-
ton.
Clowns have to be great masters in
the "knockabout'' act. If they were
not there would be & few dozen broken
bones every afternoon and evening. The
more kicks, blows and knock-downs the
clown receives, the greater the glee
and happiness of the audience So the

HAS NO COMPETITOR.
One Patent Medicine Which Has the
Field To Itself.

A prominent physician was recently
asked why it was there are 50 many
blood purifiers, nerve touics and med
zines for every ii except one of the most
common and annoying diseases-viz, piles
He replied: There are two principal
reasons: first, physicians and people in
general have thought for years that the
only permanent cure for piles was surgi-
cal oper.st ton, and that medicinal prepara-
lions wer2 simply palliaEves and not cure
for the trouble
Another reason is that piles. unlike
many other diseases, is in no sense an
INA ginary trouble. a sufferer from piles
is very much aware OF the fact, and for
this reason the few pile salyes and ONT
n,t.nts SC, have been short lived, because
the patient very soon discovered their
Northlessness.

new pile remedy, which, judging from its
popularity and extent Of its sale. Will soon
