The battle Of Majuba mountain was
small affair, as battle 30. Fewer
than $500 men took part In 1t. 1t was
the completeness OF the British defeat
and the supreme bravery Of the Afri-
kanders which rendered II one OF the
historic struggles of military annals.
Sir George Pomeroy Colley was In
command of the British forces on the
Transyaal border in the winter OF 1880
81. He was u brave officer. with su
preme confidence In the lnyineiblllty OF
his troops, despite the fact that Col
onel Anstruther's command had been
annlhilated by the Beers at Brokers
Spruit, leaving him less than 1000 men
with whom to confront 1000 Afrikan-
ders under the personal command Of
.Ioubert. "Oom Paul. was also with
the Boer troops. ON the 18th of Janu
AIRY, 1881. Colley met the Afrikanders
at Lalngs Mex, Ina the heart OF the
Drakenbergs. In tve minutes he had
lost lI8 men, killed and wounded.
Joubert lost three men. Colley drew
off to Hatley's Store. threw up earth
works and awaited an attack which
did not come. This inspired him with
renewed courage and be determined TO
invade the enemy's country.
On the night of Feb. 20 he led 100 OF
his men to the summit OF Msjuba
in no h.. Iau.l
OF the sea. The summit was crater
like depression with rim which served
AS u breastwork. Below II, ON nll sides,
stretched Il steep decliyity OF 1900 feet
"a slope devoid Of shelter save for
scattered rocks and powders. BY all
have been impregnable. II might have
been TO ordinary troops, but 1t was not
to the Beers.
At noon OF the next day-disdaining
the advantages Of a night attack-the
Afrlkanders filled their cartridge belts,
deployed In open order and charged
straight up the west slope OF the noun
tain In the teeth of the British fire.
Sometimes they ran. sometimes they
walked sometimes they threw them
selves down aud crawled. taking sd-
vantage of the shelter OF rocks and In
equalities OF the ground. II took them
an hour to achieve the ascent. 1t took
but moment to spring over the rim
OF the crater and bring a bloody con
test to an end. When the white flag
at last foated from the British position
II flew over 266 dead or wounded Eng
lishmen. Nearly one-half OF the Brit
lsh force had succumbed to the deadly
fire OF the Boer rifles. Sir George Col
ley was among the dead. 1t Is an open
secret that he persisted by shot from
his own revolver. unwilling to survive

MARRIAGE BY PROXY.
Peculiar Ceremony Performed I'm Aus-
tralia and Africa.

Peculiar Ceremony Performed in Aus-
traiia and Africa.
An extraordinary ceremony recently
took place In amsterdam, with coun-
terpart In Africa. 1t appears that a.
young man left Holland some years
ago TO serve in the Geographic depart
ment OF the Transvaal. 1t had been
his ambition to make = certain young
lady In Amsterdam his wife II he ever
attained 10 prosperity. But when sue
cess was achieved he was unable to
leave his work for journey to Holland.
In this difficulty marriage proxy
known In Holland as a glove marriage
was suggested.
The details were all carefully ar
ranged, the difference OF time exactly
calculated, and continuous cable con-
nections between Pretoria and Amster-
dam secured. The bridegroom and his
friends assembled In the Hotel Kruger.
An operator using q wire FROM the cable
notified the lady's family In Holland
that all was In readiness. and the reply
came that the ceremony would then be-
gin.
In the Amsterdam mansion a friend
OF the bridegroom made the responses,
and when the time came to clasp hands
produced a glove belonging to the bride
groom, which he had worn. The proxy
holding one end of the glove and ths
bride the other. the promises were ex
changed and the ceremony completed.
A cablegram from the bride to her
husband, 5000 miles away, gave him
her wifely greeting. TO which he re.
sponded. There WAS a wedding feast
Ia Pretoria and another In Amsterdam,
aud the cable was kept busy with con
gratulations. Then the bride said
farewell to her family and went on
board the steamer to begin her voyage
to her new home.
The custom of the old glove mar
riage dates back to old Dutch colonial
days, when they were more common
than In these times 81 rapid and cheap
