compared with the area of land in South Africa, but the physical condi- tions of mountains deep valleys and numerous rivers greatly resemble those which exist in the land of the Boers.
 The natives were assisted by some of
 the Turkish regiments, but, of course, did not have the weapons, ammunition or adeiship that the Boers have. They fortified the hills which commanded the valleys and forced the Austrians to drive them from these, one after anoth- CT, at great expenditure of time and life. So critical was the condition of affairs that the government of Vienna hurried forward additional troops, un- til, at the close of the campaign, there were more than 100000 Austrian soldiers engaged The loss to the Austrians in campaign of about three months was 5000 in killed. wounded and permanent ly disabled.

s0ME orHER GOOD FrGurERs.

It Is pointed out that the job which England has undertaken in South Af- rica bears strong resemblance to that which Austria was called upon to face twenty-five years ago, when, after the Congress of Berlin, the Turkish prov inces of Herzegovina and Bosnia were turned over to Austrian control
 It had been known at Vienna, at the time of the outbreak of the Turco- Rus sian war, that these two provinces were destined to come to the share of Aus tria, provided she continued to observe a neutral position while the conflict was going on, hence an army of occu- patton had been organized in Austria before the Congress of Berlin gave its assent to this previously arranged agreement, and the treaty was no soon- CT confirmed than an army of some S0,- 900 men entered the provinces for the purpose Of taking immediate posses sion. Greatly to the surprise of the government, a resistance was encountered which in Herzegovina led to series of combats lasting through months of time. The territory cover ed by the two provinces is small, when

 'Aain't you coming with me?' he asked
 No replied. T know all I want to know
 So he started alone. As soon as the hop of his hat and the tips of his mules ears showed above the crest there came a volley of musketry ten yards wide that cut the air like big knife blade. The crown of his hat was sliced off as with shears; he managed to drop to the ground in safety, but the persevering mule was literally filled with lead. Af- ter the firing ceased the correspondent crawled to the spot where was

man who is dreadfully flat across the and hips. An even curve from hip to hip across the back and perfectly flat front mark the figure that is ideal for the sheath skirt.
 All this brings it about that the sty- lish dressmaker, while resorting to pleated skirts, as she must do to be sty- fish, aims to have them interfere as lit tie as possible with natural hip outlines ExpIt handling Is necessary to this end but 1t is possible attainment. It was accomplished to a nicety in the gown shown here. It was sketched in lustreless mauve silk gros grain. The skirt was ip pleats all around, the pleats stitched to about the knees The bodice was pleated to match, and had lace yoke and revers, the former ivory white, the latter heavier and on the cream shade. The mauve liberty satin belt was secured with a gilt buckle its fringed streamers barely escaping the ground.
 In the tiny but unmistakabe epau- lettes this dress is evidence of another successful contest by dress wearers with dressmakers The former simply would not have the plain sleeve for any great length of time, so, though it is but little while since epaulettes and like shoulder finish were tabooed, they are now reappearing, and with such en- dorsement that any one to whom they are suited may adopt them and feel safe / FLORETTE.

OSMAN DIGN.f.

Many a year Is in it's grave since the
 wondrous name of Osman Digna be-
 gan to fit over the telegraph wires and
 spot white paper During that time Osman Digna has been on the warpath, off the warpath captured, free, wound
 ed and dead so many times that the
 gentle reader has come to look upon
 him as being with an rrepressible tendency not to stay put, and likely to
 continue to pop into conspicuousness at
 intervals forever and ever. Just now in British custody, and he isn't quite as
 indefinite as usual. It appears that a friendly Sheikh named Mohammed Ali informed the British administrator of Suakin by letter that Osman Digna was in his country and that with assist ance he could be caught. In conse- quence of this information, two parties of men of the Police and Slavery de- partment, mounted on camels under Bimbashi Burges and the Mamur Mo- hanmed Ahmed Bey left Suakin and proceeded in a southwesterly direction, guided by relative of the Sheikh, till they reached the southern spur of the Warriba range, some forty miles west of Kor Baraka and ninety miles south west of Suakin. Halting and dismount- ing at the foot of hill formed of huge the party cautiously advanced. Mean while Osman Digna who had been lured from his hiding place to the foot of the hill by another relative of the Sheikh who had killed a sheep in his sight and had prepared a meal, sud- denly caught sight of the party and fled up the hill, closely pursued, but the colored patches on his jibba betrayed | his whereabouts. He was seen crossing between two boulders high up the hill, | and the police, rushing in, secured hirn l without resistance. He had no arms or | followers of any sort.
 Of course Osman Digna will escape | soon, and when he does Bimbashi | Burges and the Mamur Mohammed Ah- med Bey will do we'll to lie low. And | it is probably safe to say that Osman Digna will never again wear colored patches on his jibba.

Much Too Much,

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Is there any law whereby this ever- lasting twanging of instruments and singing on the corners of the streets can
 be stopped? There are two seta now running it, a man and boy in each case, on alternate weeks. It makes life un- endurable and in the center of the town at the corners of Orange and Chapel streets it Is going necessarily. While I don't object to the poor fel- lows picking up a penny, l do object to the everlasting twang of the boys voice, who is evidently good little actor and singer, but the streets are ob- structed and business offices annoyed. I have never seen policeman present at the entertainments which have been going on in full force for at least month. Let us have quiet, Is the wish of ANNOYANCE.

MILW1 UKEE'S BID.

If Milwaukee doesn't get the Demo- cratic national convention it will not be from lack of well directed effort More than one hundred inhabitants of Mil
 waukee are in Washington laboring
 with those who have the say in the mat
 ter. They have brought with them a
 carload of beer and wine. And that is
 by no means all they have brought. Frank E. Bigelow, of the First national bank of Milwaukee, and J. w. V. Lom- bard, of the National Exchange of Mill waukee, are both in Washington and will produce certified checks for $100,000, to be turned over to Chairman Jones and his associates as soon as final as- surance is given that the convention will be held in Milwaukee. In addition to this E. c. Wall, national committee man from Wisconsin, himself an ex- ceedingly wealthy business man, will be at the committee meeting tomorrow, and if necessary, as a further guaran- tee, will hands over his personal check for $1000O0 to back up the claims of his associates.
 Kansas City wants the convention, but she doesn't seem to be in it with Milwaukee At least sh9is great deal quieter and isn't flashing her rolp' in the way Milwaukee is. The general ex- waukee beer wine, money and persua- sion will win.

FASHION NOT E.S.
Where Women Have Dominated Dress
 DeNtEuerg

Fashionable women, as well as those who are not seeking forever to be in advance of the styles, like the sheath skirt, Now that all have got over the shock of it and are able to discriminate it is admitted generally that a slender, we'll rounded woman of sufficient height is charmingly graceful in this skirt. Women of this type are refusing to give up the fashion, or to compromise on that ugly box-pleat. The truth Is that a woman who holds herself we'll and is we'll shaped has lines about hips and back that should not be disguised too much. She who holds herself beautiful ly, but is sudden at the hips and in pro
 portion little large, has reason to take the other view. So, too, has the wo-

The Supreme court of Minnesota has decided the inheritance-tax law of that State to be void, because it is not as equal as may be. The syllabus says: Tt excludes from it's operation real property and lays the tax upon inherit ances of personal property alone. It exemptSSfrom it's operation persons and corporations whose property is exempt by law from taxation. It allows a larger exemption to lineal heirs than to collaterals and does not lay the tax on the excess of the value of the property received above uniform exempted sum-" In 1894 a constitutional amend ment was adopted giving the legisla- ture authority to tax inheritances, and in 1897 the law just upset was passed, copied closely after the New York law.
 The constitutionality of the national bankruptcy law is attacked by suit brought in Tennessee. The ground of attack is that the act denies voluntary bankruptcy to corporations that are citizens of their respective States as much as ordinary citizens, while per- hitting other citizens to go into volun- tary bankruptcy, and also denies the right to proceed in involuntary bank ruptcy against wage-earners or persons engaged chiefly in farming or the till age of the soil while allowing involun- tary proceedings against all other citi- zens, whether persons or corporations. It is also alleged that the act is not uniform, as guaranteed by the Consti- tuition, because it allows exemptions to debtors in varying amounts, according to the law of the State of the domicile of such debtor.
