As soon as machinery can arrive from the statesWhite Horse is to have an electric light plant. that is private plant capable of supplying 100 lights, which is to be in stalled in Mscsulev's hotel in that citv. A gasoline engine is to be used for power and it is expected light, very much cheaper than coal oil or gasoline, can be furnished.
 A White Horse company now have a franchise for an eleetrlc light plant but seem to be doing nothing towards putting it in so private individuals are taking the matter into their own hands.
 Heretofore it has cost about $3oo a month to furnish light for the hotel" said MT. M 4caulev, who Is in town, "dnd ] find that by installing a small I5o light electric plant, operated by gasoline en- zine, can reduce the cost of light to about $Ioo month,
 "A plant large enough to furnish that number of lamps will cost in the neighbor- hood of $Soo or about $Iooo set up in White Horse.
 "Some time ago franchisewas given to a company to put in an electric light plant but nothing seems to have come of so the people are taking the matter into their own hands and many will follow my ex- ample of putting in their own light If the company does not soon begin operations |

Japane.e and Chinese symbols.

The many symbols which decorate ceramic ware in Japan and China are interesting to those familiar with them, and by means of them test is furnish ed which distinguishes the ware of the two countries. For instance, a three clawed dragon Is Japanese, while a five clawed dragon indicates Chinese art. In Japan the crane, turtle. pine and bamboo are emblems of longevity and do not appear in Chinese decora- ton.

Lord Curzon recently paid a state
visit to Goa, the little Portuguese col

territory by rail, but Lady Curzon went
thither by sea in the Indian marine
steamer Olive. They were received
with full honors by the governor-gen-
eral of Portuguese India, Col. Gal
hardo. Goa is probably the most pros
porous Of Portuguese possessions. Its
harbor, Mormugas, is the finest on the

famous actress, Sarah Bernhard, II

"the happiest moment of her inter-
esting life" Nine. Bernhardt is cred
tied to have replied without hesita-

a prize at the Conservatoire in Paris
for recitation" 1t is strange fact,
but it is nevertheless true, that the
first rewards, however small, for our
talents are always remembered and
appreciated far more than the sue
cess which often follows. Famous au-
thors, painters and sculptors all tell
the same story-the joy and great sat
isfaction they felt when their work,
their real work, was first appreciated
by some little reward.

said that in obedience to an order from

ing officer, he had proceeded to the
vicinity of Santiago, arriving there on
May 21. He told of taking aboard the
Cuban pilot Nunez and said he did not
have great confidence in the individ-

He fell in with the flying squadron

massed Beers which it is admitted
were under the command of General
Botha, who led the attack on the fort
in person. The reports vary somewhat
in this detail, but the minimum num-
ber of Beers stated to be in the at
tacking force is 1900.
This body Of foes, even the English
civilians here are pointing out, cannot

Still War in South Africa
ON scale that cannot be ignored by

There is satisfaction in Ladysmith
over the decisive victory at Fort ITALIA,
but there is an expressive shaking of
heads in silence when the official the
ory that the rebellion" has been
crushed is brought up in conversation.
The reports show that fighting at
Fort ITALIA lasted the entire day before
the'attacking force of Beers was COM
PEELED to withdraw. The fort is on the
border of Zululand and is considered
one of the most important posts of the
imperial troops in that direction.
The Boer loss is given in the Brit
ish reports as over 200 killed and 800
wounded or captured. The English
loss is admitted as II men killed, in
cluding 1 officer, and 5 officers and 3S
men wounded. Oddly, although the
English repulsed the enemy and held
the assaulted fort, the reports say that
63 men are missing. The feeling here
is that these 63 men were killed.
Another strange feature of the re-
ports is that the first advices, coming
by way of Durham, gave the Roer loss
in killed as only 10. The report that
the Boer general, Opporman, was kill
ed in the engagement, is confirmed.

Ladysmith, Oct. 2.-The English in
South Africa have occasion to cele-

portions in the engagement with the
Beers at Fort ITALIA, but the rejoicing
is markedly tempered by the large loss
that the imperial troops suffered, al
though they we're finally successful In

Later advices show that the engage
ment was of much more Importance

The story of the battle, as told by

drive the English garrison out of the
fort, and the surprising feature of the
