THE WAR IN AFRICA.

British dispatches from Mafeking

msnder Of the garrison there, is using
the natives to keep up the fight. A
detachment OF natives was sent against
Jackal Tree Fort, but the Beers had
evacuated it. Another native detach.
ment crept up on new fort that
threatened the British position. They
fired three volleys and then retired.
Sunday, March H. was observed as u

To Test the New Caucus
Law.


ThcfolloWing article we take from
the Rlinelander New North, in re-
CARDS TO testing the new caucus law:
The practice which has been in
vogue for many years Of voting at
different political caucauses should
cease and can be stopped under the
new caucus law, if the law is enforc-
ed The new law is to be tested in
the Dane county courts. The district
attorney at Madison was last asked
to prosecute a former alderman Of
that city, on the charge of voting at
the caucauses Of both parties. The
maximum penalty is $500 fine or from
two to six months in Jail. This cor
ruption in politics has been practiced
in northern Wisconsin until it has
become simply disgraceful. The eau
causes, according to all accounts will
be watched closer for irregularities
this fall in Oneida county than they
ever have been before. A prominent
Republican in speaking Of the Prac-
tice, said: eve shall keep close tabs
on the conventions this fall and if
any discrepancies are detected, the
new caucus law will be thoroughly
tested in Oneida county courts. It is
high time there was change for the
better in our political affairs"

Madame Bonaparte's Scorn.

Writing from the romance of Eliza
beth Patterson and Jerome Bonaparte,
after the annulment of their marriage
by Napoleon /, William Perrine, in the
Ladies' Home Journal, says that
toward her expatriated husband
Elizabeth exhibited nothing but con-
tempt which in part she expressed for
all Bonapartes, whom she condemned
as a mean family" excepting always
the one who had ruthlessly torn Jer-
ONE from her. But of Napoleon she
never ceased to speak reverently as
man of genius whose relatives were
unworthy of the blood of the brilliant
conqueror. She refused to accent
from her husband as King of West
phalia the title of Princess Schmalcal-
den and dover of two hundred thous-
and francs, and when Jerome pro.
fessed not to understand why she re-
jected his offer and yet allowed asmalI.
er pension to be bestowed upon her by
his brother, the Emperor, she sarcasti-
cally exclaimed, 4 prefer to hide under
an eagles wing rather than hang from
the neck of a gosling'
Again Jerome exposed himself to
her sneering reproach when, having
proposed that she might have a home
in Westphalia, she sent back the ro-
ply, Your kingdom is large, but not
large enough for two Queens 1t was
only once that the disunited couple
saw each other again, and then no
word passed between them. One day
Jerome was walking with his new wife
in the gallery of the Pitt Palace. at
Florence, when Madame Bonaparte
came upon the scene. When he recog-
nized her Jerome hurriedly whispered
to his Catherine, as Elizabeth silently
walked on. That lady is my former

About Henri De Reqnier.

Henri De Regimen, the celebrated
Frenchman who is lecturing on con.
temporary French literature under the
auspices of the University of Chicago,
is an ardent disciple of Paul Verlaine,
the symbolist. "Decadents" is the I'M
complimentary term bestowed upon
the symbolists by opponents of the
school. In the philosophy of M.
Regnier, poetry may be common sense,
may be elegant, and may conform to
stated rules, but the absence of these
things is not necessarily fatal to
poetry. There is the poet and his
dream, and If the reader can not de-
cipher the symbols by which the poet
gives his dream to the world. why,
that's the readers fault. M. Regnier
has published several volumes of
verse, and these. with two series Of
stories, have earned for him the cross
of the Legion of Honor.
