WAR OFFICE DEFENDS
Secretary Broderick Answers Criticism of
Its Alleged Apathy.
KITCHENER GIVEN ALL he ASKS
A Statement of the NJ Of Mon In
the Field and Others Available-Asks
England to Cease Its Fretting Com
corning the Situation.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE secretary OF
war, Mr.. Broderick, replying to Sir
Charles Howard Vincept's offer to
raise fresh troops or do anything else
to assist the government, declines the
proposal and in doing so lengthily re-
views the British position in South
Africa, obviously in answer to the
persistent and searching criticisms of
the ministerial journals and members
of parliament that the government is
languidly content to let the war drag
on Mr.. Broderick says, to begin with,
that nothing Lord Kitchener has ask
ed for has not been promptly met. He
adds ::
1--WE have, roughly, 100000 men and
$50 guns in South Africa, and yer
100, 900 men are under training at
home. We have no difficulty, there
fore, in keeping the field fairly up to
it's requisite strength by drafts, and if
a further call be made we are in a
position to meet it with the utmost
promptitude. Notwithstanding this,
there seems to be an impression
abroad that the close of the wal is
retarded by a scarcity of troops OF the
want of mobility of our columns"
This impression Mr.. Broderick com
bats by reciting what the war Office
is doing, providing supplies for 314,-
900 persons, directly or indirectly con-
neoted with the war, in feeding 24s,-
600 horses and mules and maintaining
four months reserves of food for men
and animals. Sixty-nine mobile col
umns, perfectly equipped, are now in
the field and 10000 remounts are being
landed monthly, besides those cap
tured..
Mr.. Broderick says the anxiety can
be set to rest at home. The govern
ment has never interfered with Lord
Kitchener, in whose vigorous prosecu-
dence. He points again to the vast
extent Of the country.
Abiding to Lord Kitchener's send
ing back poorly trained yeomanry,
Mr.. Broderick replies that they would
have been trained earlier but for the
opinion of military advisers in South
Africa and at home, up to November,
1900, that no fresh troops were needed.
when Lord Kitchener asked for
5000 more" says the war secretary,
"the government sent out to him 61,-
600 fresh troops during the first six
months of 1901, besides arms for TO-
900 local levies."
The chancellor of the exchequer,
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, speaking at
Oldham, said he believed parliament
would be summoned earlier than
usual, but would not be called to at
tend the autumn session, contending
that organized resistance in South
Africa really ended a year ago and
that only guerrillas are o in the
field. He said the British govern
ment of the Orange River Colony had
raised nearly as much revenue as was
raised before the war.

of having had his hair cut for luck on

BUSINESS COLLEGE
Is In a Most FlOuriShing Condition Eighty
Students.

One of the most important and influ-
entfal educational institutions in this
section OF the country lis the Marietta
Commercial College in it's present
fouri:ihing and enterprising condition.
Marietta lis becoming great manu-
featuring and business community and
is much in need of such an institution
to educate her young men and women
in business methods.
Only practical things are taught and
they are presented in the most at
tractive way The pupil is interested
at the outset and his interest quickly
grows into enthusiasm. The college
offers two distinct courses. a CONNER
cial course for business purposes, and
a shorthand course. In the CONNER
cial course the Sadler-Rowe budget
system" is used. By this system the
| business department becomes "a count
ing house rather than a school room,
rather than that of student. The
transactions are all practical and pre-
sent themselves in the natural order
of business.
With this sv:tem the student knows
twice as much at the end of any given
time, than with any other system.
The Gregg system of shorthand,
which is recognized as the leading sys-
TEN, is used. More than two hundred
schools have changed to this system
within the last year.
In the type-writing department the
touch method is used. The letters
are not marked on the keys, as the
notes are not marked on piano keys,
and progress is much more rapid.
The school has an enrolment of
eighty energetic young ladies and
young men.
Under the efficient ma~-'Tement of
Prof. Benn. ]. Ferguson, under whose
care the school has enjoyed such a
growth, the school and its students will
continue to prosper.
A man who has business ability to
conduct an institution as successfully
as Professor Ferguson has this one
can surely be intrusted with the bust
ness education of our young people.

Can Not Sleep.

Bud Harris, a strong looking negro
man, about 25 years Old, was adjudged
insane and is confined in Bibbs Jail,
awaiting to be sent to the State Sani-
tarium. His trouble seems to be want
of sleep.
DR. Selden testified before the lunacy
jury that since last Monday he had
been experimenting with all kinds of
drugs to induce the negro to sleep, but
up to this time had been unsuccessful
1t is not known how lon= Harris had
been without sleep when the physician
took charge of the case, but it is GER
tain that the time was sufficient
length to cause his reason to be de-
throned, and yesterday he was raving
mad, except at intervals. He positive
ly declines to touch drop of whisky,
although the physician has tried in
various ways to get him to take it,,
thinking perhaps it might have the eff
feet the drugs failed to produce,
The negro Gays that he promised the
Lord that he would never touch an
other droo of whisky and he will die
before he will broak his word.--Ex.

Becomes a Bride.

Ft. Dodge, Ta-Charles F. Wickham
a prosperous farmer living near Knei-
rim, small town not far from Ft
Dodge, and Katie Backradt, of Hen
eel, Wildeck, Germany, were made
man end wife at the German Metho-
dist Church Of this CITY, The groom
is a man upon whom the passage of GA
long years has left it's trace, while the
fair bride is a buxcm German beauty
of % summers.
Many years ago, before Wickham
left the sunny vinyards of Germany to
try his fortune in the new world, he
knew his present bride as a little girl,
the child of old friends of his in Hen
eel, and when. short time since. word
came to him that both the chIild's par
erts were dead. t seemed to him in
every way fitting that he should as
SINE the place of a father to her whom
he still remembered as a little child.
His surprise was complete when, in
stead of the shy damsel whom he ex-
pected to see step from the tram few
nights ago, a lovely woman greeted
him. Their engagement resulted.
This is not Wickham's first venture
upon the matrimonial sea, as he al
redy has a record of three marriages to
hlla credit. but this fact does not seem
to interfere in the least with the affec-
tion in which he holds his comely
bride from over the sea. The newly
married pair are to all appearances the
happiest couple which ever left FIT.

Cemetery Lots.

Selinsgrove.-Judge Savidge, of Sun
bury, the county seat of Northumber-
land County, ran hard against a salu-
tory rule he made recently relative to
the naturalization of foreigners in his
jurisdiction. The judge made a rule
that he would naturaliZe foreigners
owning real estate upcn mere formal
and otherwise legal application. All
who did not own property were put
through rigorous tests.
The result was that scores were nat
uralized on the real estate rule. But
the Judge met his Brutus in the appl-
cation of willy Hungarian from Mt.
Carmel.
The Court asked: do you own real
estate?"
Yes" the answer came.
His Honor. however. was familiar
with the topography of the locality
where the real estate was alleged to
be, and further interrogated the appli-
cant as to the nature and description
of the land he owned. The cross-ques-
tionfng developed the fact that the fell
low owned a cemetery lot near Dooley-
Vile.
The Judge saw the imposition al
once and refused the petition, severely
censuring him for the attempt at fraud
upon the Court.

From Boston.

l see by the Marietta papers that the
new century was ushered in by noisy
demonstrations.
The occasion was also noticed in
Boston. Dr. Hale brought TO the not
ice of the proper persons that ,Le
elghteer ~ century's arrival was an
nounced by trumpets from the porch
of the S.a,c House. Acting upon this
hint, a proper rrogram was arranged
for the incoming of the twentieth.
Precisely at twelve o'clock. the
blasts from four trumpets rang over
the great crowd that had assembled,
AS the sounds died away DIR. Hale
stopped forward and touched buitoa,
and the whole State House from foun-
dation TO the summit of the dome was
blaze of electric lights. All eyes
were 2jt once turned and rested upon
the form of the venerable man. who
with hand u9raised and clear voice,
asked all to united in saying the Lord )
prayer,
He led and the great murmur from
the crowd, showed that there were but
few who did not respond. Immediate
ly after an appropriate hymn was
sung by a magnificent chorus of one
hundred male voices. This ended the
picturesque and impressive part of the
ceremonies, what followed was of a
more commonplace nature-proces-
sions and the like. H. b. S.

For many years Nelson Hards
has been law abiding upright clti>
zen of the Third ward. He has at
tended to his own business affairs
and has been citizen deserving OF
the sufferages OF his friends and
neighbors in that ward. He has
never sought public office and does
not in this instance, but his worth
being recognized as citizen he was
called by the convention to become
candidate for alderman in that
ward. DR.. Smith has been honored
sufficiently, according to his deserts
Ever since he has been in the
county he has had some petty office
or another and the people are a
little tired of seeing the doctor in
public positions all the time. During
all his office holding he has never
shown any great capacity as pubs
lie servant and If for no otheI
reason than that ne has been suf>
6ciently honored. Mr.. Hards
should receive the support OF the
public as against DIR. Smiths cans
didacy.
