The spectators Uttered, but Judge
Wofford continued sternly: II am in

On the strength Of your big mouth and
generous ears. You've got good lace.
A man with little ears, like fox's or

HOW THEY MEET.
You Made a Gallant Defence, Sir"
Said Gen. Roberts.

In describing the surrender Of Gen.
Cronje to Gen. Roberts dispatch from
Paardeberg says at 3 a. m. the British
camp was awakened by the continued
rattle of rife fire at dsybreak and the
news arrived that the Canadians, while
building trench quite close to the en-
emy were fusilladed at range Of 5J
yards. The Canadians CALAMITY worked
forward and occupied the edge of the
trenches along the river, entirely en-
6lading the Beers. This movement was
followed by cessation of the fire, ex-
cept an occasional solitary shot,
Suddenly regiment stationed on the
crest Of a hill perceived white flag
and burst into cheers, thus first au-
nouncing the surrender Of Gen. Cronje.
Shrotly afterward a note reached
Lord Roberts bringing tidings of the
Beers unconditional surrender, Gen.
Prettyman was sent to accept the sur
render.
At about I o'clock the small group Of
men appeared in the distance crossing
the PLAIN towards headquarters. The
latter being apprised Of Gen. Crorje's
approach, Lord Roberts went to the
front in the modest cart in which he
sleeps and ordered a guard Of the Sea-
forths to lineup. A group of horsemen
then appeared. Oo Gen. Prettymau's 5
right rode an elderly man clad in a
rough short overcoat, wide brimmed
hat, ordinary tweed trousers and
brown shoes. 1t was the redoubtable
CroDje. His face was almost burned
black and his curly beard was tiDged
with gray.
Lord Roberts walked to aud fro in
front of the cart until the Boer general
arrived, when the British commander
advanced gravely and kindly saluted
the Boer commander. He then mo-
toned Gen. Cronje to seat in chair
which had been brought for his accom-
modation aud the two officers con-
7ersed through an interpreter.
Gen. CroDje afterwards breakfasted
with the British officers.
Cronje's face was absolutely impas-
sive, exhibiting no sign Of his inner
feelings.
Lord Roberts was surrounded by his
staff when Gen. Prettymau, addressing
the field marshal, said: ''CommandaDt
Cronje, Sir.
The commandant touched his hat in
salute and Lord Roberts ssluted 10 re-
turn. The whole group then dismount.
ed and Lord Roberts stepped forward
and shook hands with the Boer COM
nader.
'You made gallant defense, sir, "
was the first salutation Of Lord Rob-
erts to the vanquishei Boer leader.

WORKERS AMONG coTToNsEED.
New Machine Which Is Designed to
Monopolized Their Business.

Monopolized Their Business.
An always interesting sight to New
Orleans visitors has been the large
gangs of darkies unloading cotton
seed from the barges at the oil mills,
piling the sacks of seed on the heavy
trucks and trundling them down the
wharf into the mill, singing Justify the
while. The picturesque side Of the
old.time method Of unloading seed by
no means appeals to the owners OF the
mills. however. Such labor is very
expensive, and sometimes Impossible
to obtain. Competition in the manu-
facture Of cottonseed products is very
keen, and unnecessary handling OF
the raw material must be done away
with wherever practicable. The big
grain elevators, built right up to the
deep water, have long ago solved the
problem, but with the oil mills at
G-etna, built back Of the levee, with
their wharves stretching considera-
bic distance into the river, and with
these wharves sinking and twisting all
the time from the action OF the cur.
rent and the treacherous river bed,
the question how to unload their
barge and carry the seed back into the
mills at low cost has been until now
very difficult one to answer.
The Union Mill Company has re-
Gently installed at its large Crescent
mill at Gretna a plant for rapidly and
economically unloading seed from
barges, which seems to meet all the
conditions. The main part Of the sys-
tenn is a belt conveyor, running on
trestle work along the wharf, and
thence under the roof Of the mill.
Along this conveyor the seed is car
ried from the end Of the wharf, 25O
feet to a point in the mill, where it is
weighed and either stored or distrib-
uted direct to the crushers. From the
time it is taken from the barges until
it leaves the mill as finished product
the seed is not touched by hand.
The present capacity Of the plant is
about 400 bushels (seventy tcns) OF
cottonseed per hour, but this can be
largely increased. It is estimated that
the construction will pay for itself in
wages saved in less than two seasons.

A Pltiful Case.

There j white woman namcd Marie

man named Charlotte Smith, on Wof-

ronmeut Of utter degradation Of choice

approaching the end Of dissipated
life. Ia the county Jail are lodged Eva
Stokes, Name Robinson and John
Nood ward, all white, who are charged
with iufcting serious injuries on the
person Of Marie Martin. From the
facts glcanned by the reporter from

several days ago fight occurred at the
house Of Eva Stokes, in which Marie

BASED ON NOTHING.
Most of the Fears That Beset Fair
Maids and Matrons.

Maids and Matrons.
The cause that implants the spirit
Of fear in the bosom of the gentle sex
Is subject that may well puzzle the
most devout student Of human nature.
The mouse Is considered one Of the
harmless of creatures, and yet it has
been responsible for more cases OF
hysteria than any animal many times
its size.
One woman, who all her l;fe has
searched beneath her bed before -
tiring, at one time found herself in
possession Of folding monstrosity,
the intricacies of which she had first
to solve before taking her well-earned
rest. But such is the force Of habit.
After pulling down the bed She would
carefully look beneath it, for no other
reason than that she had done so ever
since she was child.
A fayorite illusion is that Of having
ones legs seized, either from Oehlnd
In going upstairs or on getting into
bed. Women have been seen scuttllnS
upstairs in the dark setting at defl-
ance all the laws Of locomotion IN a
ludicrous attempt to keep their legs
some distance ahead of them and be-
yond the reach of a mysterious clutch.
Girls will also make flying leaps into
bed to eliminate the same improbable
ity.
Many women search diligently IN
closets, bureau drawers and all sorts
Of impossible places before resigning
themselves to sleep. An old house
keeper whose table silver, in two bas-
kets, was always placed in her bed
room after the evening meal, was one
night awakened by what she consld'
cred suspicious sounds from the lower
regions. Cautiously leaving her room
laden with the silver, she pitched both
baskets into the hall below, calling
out as she did so, Take it all and
please co." then fed precipitately and
barricaded herself in her room. Need
less to add, she found both baskets
and scattered contents the following
morning, little the worse for the
rough handling she had given them.

RULES FOR THE HACKMEN
a CLAUSE ADDED TO PROVIDE
FOR AUTOS.
A Regulation Requiring Posting of the
Rules of Fare in Each Vehicle-Legal
Rates and Road Rules

Copies of the new hack regulations
now in effect have been printed in
small pamphlet form for distribution
among the police and hackmel. There
are several changes i'm the new book.
Among them is the addition of q Sec
ton providing that licensed drivers of

bile men it is required that they shall
have silver metal cap badges, showing
their numbers "worn so as to be dis
tinctly seen on the front of the cap of
each driver"
Legal rates are substantially the same
as in the old regulations. There is a
raise in the prices chargeable for the
Punchbowl drive. The price named is
Sl.5O for one passenger for the trip, $3.50
FOR two and $500 for three. This Is a
raise of so cents in the first case and a

The following regulation appears in
the new booklet: There shall be at all
