AT this season of the year the pleasant
little habit great many people have of al
lowing callers, especially in the morning
hours, to cool their heels on the doorsteps
until the householders are ready to appear
is particularly noticeable
From fifteen to twenty minutes is the
usual length of time that applicants for ad-
mission are required to put in studying the
exterior of the house and observing the
number of degrees below zero registered
by the thermometer, if one hangs in sight,
while surreptltiously keeping up their cir
culation by subdued form of alisthenics
There is no doubt but that some, if not
all, of the members of the family are at
home, for at the first peal of the bell COM
menced such scurrying that one would
imagine an investigating committee of
cats had Unexpectedly appeared in a gar
ret full of rats.
There are sounds of much running to
and fro, and opening and closing of doors,
with imperative orders and agonized ap-
peals, all delivered in stage whisper that
comes floating through the keyhole and
gives the patient waiter at the door quite a
comprehensive idea of what is going on
inside.
At length the lady of the house, who has
taken the tea leads out of her hair. nut on
clean apron, washed the faces of all the
children, swept up the hearth and busted
the sitting room, comes to the door as
though she were uncertain as to whether
the bell had rung or not, and hardly ex.
pected to find any one there.
OF course she might find only boy witt
handful, a gentleman with a sample
packgage of yeast or book agent, but any
one of them is worthy of more humane
treatment.

The Newburian Way.

The town Of Newbury stands unique
among the towns of the state.
At the republican party caucus, held last
August, the folio wing resolutions were
adopted:
With many we believe national politics
should not have ruling influence in most
local elections
We also believe that abstainer, are better
fitted ttau drinkers to serve the pubic in
office or otherwise.
Therefore be it resolved:
LIST. That We will work for the election
of ab,tainers in this town.
End. That we cordially invite all citi-
zans OF both sexes to work with MS to Sc
cure the election OF abstaining officers at
March meeting.
3Fd. That we appoint a committee of
town offices filled in March.
4th. That we instruct this committee to
nominate men OF every party, men who are
qualified and who will neither drink alco-
holic liquor themselves nor favor others
drinking it.
The committee appointed have adver-
tlsed tor nominations for the several offices
to be filled at the annual March meeting.
The citizens of Newbury act on the theory
that the servants of town should be as
free from the demoralizing effects OF alco-
holic stimulants a, the servants Of a rail-
road corporation. The outcome of the ex-
pertinent in Newbury will be watched with
interest.

There is more cstarrh in this section Of the

tors pronounced it local disease, and pre-

GEN. COLYILE'S RETIR EN- ENT.
Mr.. Brodrfck Tells the Whole Truth In
the Com mons.

London, March 11.-In the house OF
commons to-day, Charles Mackinnon
Douglass, liberal, interrogated the gov
ernment regarding the retirement of
Major General Colvile, who was sent
home from South Africa by Lord Rob-
erts for inefficiency in the field. Mr..
Brodrlck, secretary of war, replied that
the motion compelled him to say things
he would prefer to leave unsaid, but
that he would tell the house the whole
truth. After declaring that he had
nothing to apologize for in the course
the war office had taken, he proceeded
to criticize severely General Colviles
conduct.
"At Sanna's Post" said the secretary
of war, General Colvile blundered
about or manoeuvred about until his
force was weary, while the Beers car
ried off guns unmolested. Lord Roberts
thought Colonel Broadwood did right,
although General Colvile took excep-
tion to Colonel Broadwood's behavior.
General Colvile left Colonel Broadwood
and his shattered force severely alone
and marched his troops in another di-
rection. He showed lack of enter
prise, which lost him the confidence OF
Lord Roberts"

COLLECTION or BANK CHECKS.
Action Affecting seventy-eight lnstttu-
ttons by Boston Bonrd of Trade

Boston, March 1.-THE Boston Asso-
ciated Board of Trade tonight adopted
a report of special committee recon-
mending that checks on seventy-elght
banks in New England outside of Bos-
ton be deposited with the State street
Trust company for collection by eX-
press. Under the present system these
banks refuse to remit cash at par on
the face of the checks drawn on them
The Trust company will charge the
actual expenses of collection and depos-
itora will be allowed to draw on checks
in about four days. The committee says
that as the only object which the out
of town banks can have in making
charges for remitting checks on them
selves is to reap the exchange profit, it
is believed by the committee that when
that profit shall have disappeared and
the full amount OF the checks shall be
paid in cash they will find it more to
their advantage and convenience to join
the clearing house system and pay their
checks each day by one draft on their
correspondents In Boston or New York,
without charge. 1t is expected that the
plan will go into effect on April Is. The
board also adopted resolution favor
ing new subway for Boston, to be
built by the transit commissioners.

Bill Relating to Prosecutions for
Adultery-Its Objects.
Salt Lake, Utah. March II. ~ The
house to-day by vote Of 25 to II pass
ed the bill amending that portion Of the
revised statutes Of Utah, relating to-
prosecutions for adultery. The bill pro-
vites that prosecution for breach Of the
law can only be commenced by those Of
blood relationship to the accused or the
plural wife.
The authors Of the bill say that the
bill will prevent the continual airing
through the press Of the country Of the
conditions that reflect upon the state
and that those who have contracted
polygamous marriages have now. nearly
all passed away.
Representative w. q. Horn, who OPP
posed the bill, says that the obvious OBJ
ject of the bill is to prevent the prose-
cution Of those maintaining polygamous
relations, long since contracted but
that the effect will be to bring about
the adoptionsof constitutional amend
ment giving power to congress to legis-
late against polyganay and unlawful CO.

Burahers Now Bearing Arms ON the

Bloemfontein, March 10.-General De
Wet is reported to be moving northward
steadily at the rate Of twenty-five miles
q day, with view to crossing the rail-
way to the eastward. He should now
be west of Kroonstadt Several small
commanders hold the southeastern por-
ton of the Orange River colony, the
garrisons at Dewetsdorp, Wepener,
Smithfield and Rouxvile having been
Withdrawn.
1t is impossible not to be struck with
the fact that great proportion OF the
former enemies of Great Britain in
South Africa now frankly throw in
their lot with the British. Brandfort,
Kroonstadt and Bloemfontein compa-
MES Of ex-burghers are now bearing
arms against the Beers. They state
that their object is not to operate
against their former comrades, but to
defend their homes and property against
marauding bands. Every town in the
Free state occupied by the British will
soon become a center Of British infiu-
ence, extending long distance in their
vicinity.
over thirteen thousand refugees are
now within the British lines. and many
of them demand arms and permission
to take the field. If their requests are
granted it will be easy to get two thou
sand ex-burghers enrolled on the Brit
ish side.

Likely to be Asked for King Edward

London, March 11.-In the House Of
Commons to-day Sir Michael Hicks
Reach. chancellor of the exchequer.
limited that an increase in the civil list
might be expected. He said that while
the governments proposals would be
based on the late Queen Victoria's civil
LIST il must be remembered that King
Edward had a queen consort, and that
he was not only king of the United
Kingdom, but the head of a world wide
empire, In previous reigns the parlia-
ment has been asked to pay the debts
of the sovereign, but no such applica-
tion was ever made by Queen Victoria.
The country might look forward with
confidence to King Edward, who has
for many years occupied an exceptional
position, involving exceptional expendl-
lures. His income although not large
when compared with that of some pri-
vate individuals, had sufficed him to
perform his duties in a manner which
had won the gratitude of the country
The proposals would be framed in a
spirit of justice to the crown and peo-
ple. John Redmond the Irish leader,
gave notice of his intention to oppose all
consideration of the subject until the
government promised to alter the mon
arch's anti Catholic declaration, known
as the mo Popery' oath, But on Mr.
Balfours announcing that it was pro-
posed to appoint COMMITTEES 70 con-
slider the matter Mr.. Redmond withdrew
his opposition for the present. The COM
mittee was then appointed.
