PLUCKY LADY WILSON.
THAT BEFELL HER
AMONG THE BOERS.

More Extraordinary Than Amy Enconn-
tered by 4 Woman of Rank il Thi:
Century-Alone Among the savases--
4 Young Boer Her IlniSht1y Squire.
y ADY SARAH WILSON, the
( r handsome and adventurous
] daughter Of the house oi
Marlborough, is regarded as
a modern Joan of Arc by English So
ciety.
The adventures through which she
is passing in the Boer war are more
extraordinary than have fallen to -
lot Of any woman of rank in tlls
century, and place her alongside o!
those women of the Middle Ages who
defended cities and endured the hor,
rors OF war.
Ample details have now been re.
ceirod in letters from Lady Sarah Of
her experiences up to the time she re,
turned to Mafeking.
She was first besieged, then es-
capped; was caught after many thrilling
adventures; acted as q spy; was
ordered to be confined in a certain
town and escaped from it, and finally
was exchanged for Boer officer and
returned to the besieged place from
which she had started.
BEsIEGED IN MAFEKlNG.
At the beginning of the war Lady
Sarah was with her husband, Captain
Gordon Wilson, in Mafeking: the
chief town Of British Bechuanaland,
which lies northwest of the Trans
vaaI. 1t was held by Colonel Baden
Powell, with the Fifth Dragoons,
about 900 strong. Captain Wilson is
an officer OF the Horse Guards, but
was ont in South Africa on special
service, aud had really attached him
self to Colonel BadeI-Powell for the
sake of adventure. he has found it.
The redoubtable General ,Crouje,
who captured Jameson and bis
raidc<s, besieged Nafeking with 5000
Beers. Colonel Baden rein
forced his little body Of regulars by
enrolling and drilling ell the able
bodied men Of Malehirg. Tins he
gathered force of nearly 1900 men.
Lady Sarah took au active part IN
the work OF the soldiers, and even ac-
companied the armorel trains tha;
went ont of Mafeking to fight the
Beers.
At the end of a month, however, il
became clear to Lady Sarah that she
was useless mouth to feed and az
embarrassment to the brave garrison.
On the other hand, ii she could es-
cape from Mafeking, she would be
able to render real service by carry
ing exact news of the condition Of the
belearuered town to the outside world.
ALONE AMONG THE sAvAGEs.
She started ont to ride over hun
dreds Of miles OF desert and noun
tain, infested not only by armed
Boers, but by wandering bands of
bloodthirsty savages. The chance Of
falling into the hands of the latter
was the most appalling danger she
ran. She may almost consider her
selfSortunate that she was captured
by the rough but humane Beers.

THE CHEF END OF MAN.
Ills Feet. Not Els Head. and This Is
Not Joke

Not Joke
Apparently man has been greatly
mistaken In attributiag 10 his mind
supremacy among the animals, says
the London Globe. = medical writer
in one Of the magazines, to use an ap-
plicabIe phrase, knocks this idea On
the head. From an anatomical stand
point Of human brain hardly differs
from that OF the anthropoiil ape. and
Intellectually the Australian bushman
is sad to be the inferior Of the edu-
Gated oraag-outrang in the geological
gardens. Mans proud position in the
anirlal world is due rather to his heels
than to his head, ind BE- it noted that
man is the only animal which can
balance itself upon its heels. This
acquisition, simple as it appears, is
the result Of evolutionary processes
stretching back to the dim past, when
our ancestors inhabited trees and
cracked nuts with the enthusiasm OF
latter-6ay vegetarians. Even now,
among the fat-footed tribes, the art
Of balancing on two heels is unknown,
and ct is only in the highly civilized
nations Of Europe and America and
their dependencies that the action Is
fully displayed" We are told that
those types Of animals which have by
the agency OF their legs and feet most
successfully solved the problem Of ter
'restrial locomotion as regards stabil-
;ity Of posture and activity Of move
ment are those which are physically
best fitted to live in other respects.
Fortunately for man his ancestors,
with that unrest which is the spur Of
progress, wearied Of their first trail
ing or dragging gait, and did not even
rest contented when they had learned
the difficult ert Of hopping. Pushing
on, they attained to a straight-kneed
plantigrade gait, and "the supremacy
of man was from. tha. time estao-
lished."

the afternoon she was sighted by a
band of savages, but having much
better horse she was able to get away
from them.
At nightfall she reached Setlagoli, a
small station in British territory, but
in g region now occupied by the
Beers. Here there was hotel, where
the proprietor and a few servants still
remained. Lady Sarah put up here
for the night.
Just st dawn she was awakened by
a terrific rattling Of musketry and
rapid firing guns. She dressed her.

the direction of the firing, taking her
camera with her in the hope OF OBJ
tanning some photographs.
When she got to the scene OF the
trouble size found that British
armored train had been wrecked by
the Beers. The train was command
ed by Captain Nesbitt, Of the Mash
onaland Mounted Police, who was
irving to run through to Mafeking
with ammunition. He and all his
men were killed OF captured.
Lady Sarah was seen by the Beers
and taken prisoner. She was held
for two days at Setlagoli, but among
the soldiers here we're number OF
blackguards, chiefly Uitlanders, who
insulted her. The officer in command.

Further Evidence in the Gosbel Murder
Trial IN Kentucky.
Georgetown, KY, July 25.-A large
mum Der of witnesses were introduced
by the commonwealth in the Goebel
murder trial yesterday in order TO
show the exact spot where Goebel fell.
There were some conflicting state
ments as to this.
The commonwealth claims that be-
fore the week is out it will prove that
the shot came from Powers Office.
Further evidence bearing on the
secret orders to the militia in advance
of the assassination is also to be
heard. Subpoenas duces tecum we're
issued today for the production of
the code or cipher kilograms sent
from Frankfort previous to the assas-
sination. The key to this code was
found among the military records by
Assistant Adjt. Gen. Murray when he
took charge of the office. Among
the witnesses was Miss Ella Smith. of
Barbourville. who testified that in
December John L. Powers told her
that if Goebel was seated there would
be lot of blood spilled in Frankfort.

peaIing for relief, is regarded IN Lon
| don as only a prelude to the absolute
confirmation of the massacre. This is
the opinion also of the Japanese min
lister here The newspapers suggest
that the British minister's dispatch was
held back and released about the same
time as Conger's undated message.
! William Pritchard Morgan, member of
parliament for Merthyr Tydvil, whose
knowledge of and interests in China
are extensive, informed the Associated
Press correspondent that he was posi-
tive from cable messages from his
agents, that the members of the lega-
tions were alive July 8.
When the foreign Office was told
this the rejoinder was made: 'Mr.
Morgan has submitted no evidence to
convince US Of the truth of his state
ment, however, anxious we may be to
believe it,
Negotiations between the powers
have brought out mutual assurances
that the military expeditions to China
are for the sole purpose OF relieving
the legations, and that there is no in
tention to partition China.
1t may with safety be stated that
should the ministers prove to be alive
the Chinese government will to some
extent use them as a lever to compel
European and American missionaries
and commercial enterprises TO mod
crate their activity, if not to withdraw
from the empire entirely. On this
point William Pritchard Morgan said
to the Associated Press correspondent
that he had good reason to believe the
Chinese government had entrusted or
would entrust Ii Hung Chang with
the mission OF saying TO the powers:
Look here: If you withdraw your
missionaries and give up your conces-
sions, we will be willing TO give ample
pecuniary remuneration for your
losses. We will then deliver your
ministers, except Germany's, alive.
Well, if you don't agree we can't be
answerable for the lives of your min
listers. We cannot reconcile the majori-
ty of our people to the foreign ele-
ment." who" said Morgan, Twill
have hardihood enough TO say to China,
go ahead, kill the ministers, and we
will take revenge"
A dispatch from Berlin says: Count
Won Buelow, the minister of foreign
affairs, made n reply yesterday to the
appeal of the emperor of China for
German mediation between the powers,
and the Chinese government In sub
stance Count Won Buelow said he
would not submit the telegram from
the Peking government to the emperor
so long as the fate of the legations. and
other foreigners in Peking were not
ascertained and as long as the Chinese
government had not atoned for the

where the Girlhood of Today PROFITS.
In older times stories and preach
ments' all tended to give to girls the
wrong motives for Improvement of
their character. They would coax or
threaten or frighten the girls to indus
try by holding up a marriage certifi-
cate and drive them to the practice of
domestic economies by pursuing them
with the then dreaded, now obsolete.
epithet "old maid" No wonder that
the girls of today laugh at the absurd
ity of II all. The new teaching Is SO
much better worth while. The virtues
are to be practlced for their own sweet
sakes; knowledge is to be gained be-
cause of its priceless boon to the pos
SCISSOR. AS nearly as can be given in Il
few words, here is the underlying prin-
ciples of the teaching of the girl Of tho
present time: Give her noble motives
and I'LL her life with work-such work
as every woman can be happy and self
respecting In doing; make her In every
way an independent being: teach her
that love is n divine gift and not some
thing to be angled or bargained for
that marriage is holy sacrament, to be
entered with high Ideals of life, not as
secular arrangement. - Sallie Joy
