Broken Brio a ExraCS.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man of
New York, explains some very interest
ing facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes whe use this standard
article know that it is many hundred per
cent better than other cements for which
similar claims are made, but a great
many do not know why. The simple
reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other
manufacturers do not use them, because
they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that
one of the elements of his cement costs
So. rs pound, and another costs $2.65 a
gallon, while large share Of the SO call
ed cements and liquid glue upon the
market are nothing more than sixteen
cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
acid, and, in some cases. altered slightly
in color and odor by the addition Of
cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents
and twenty-fv cents bottle. and when
dealer tries to sell substitute you can
depend upon it that his only object is to
make larger profits.
The profit on Majors cement is as
much as any dealer ought to make on
any cement. ana lnlS Is uOuDly Gfte III

share of the benefit of Mr.. Majors adj

WASPS ACT IN A TRAGEDY.

but They Tome very near EUrnlnN
1t Into "a Comedy.
lone of the most laughable scenes l
ever witnessed during the representa-
ton of one of Shakespeare's TRACE
dies" said Il we'll known theatrical
manager TO the writer the other day,
''hapnened to the late Tom Keene
whel he was performing in a northern
New York town. The company was
playing Julius Caesar and at the
last moment it was found that the
property man had failed to send up the
regular throne chair used in the SEN
ate scene. and an old rustic chair was
hastily procured from the left of the
theater and, after being covered with
draping. was pressed into service. In
the midst Of the scene a large wasps'
nest was discovered attached to the
chair, and it's inhabitants, becoming
indignant at the disturbance they had
suffered, began to swarm about the
stage. seeking revenge upon the Ro-
mans in their low necked and short
sleeved dresses. The wasps seemed to
be particularly offended with Caesar.
and it is doubtful if Caesars death
scene was ever acted with more feel
ing. for at the moment he was being
pierced by the conspirators' daggers
the wasps were most Industrious in
their work.
In the tent scene where Caesar ap-
pears to Brutus one might almost have
doul:ted it's being the real Caesar. 1t
was the same in form and dress, but
the face was no longer the same. In
the last act Brutus had one eye closed.
Antony a swollen lip. Cassius an en-
larged chin. Lucius an inequality in
the size of his hands and Octavius
Caesar a nose that would have done
service as the famous nasal organ of
Bardolf in Henry W.

ing a roaring comedy when Mr.. Keene,

Of your blows is yet unknown but for
your words: they rob the Hybla bees

Urbana, o., Dec. 29.-Ypsilanti
Smith, an aged hermit, died few days
ago in his hut six miles west Of st.
Paris, this county. 1t was supposed
that he was poor. After his death $4o,-
900 in government bonds was found
in an old chest in his cabin. The cou
pors had not been torn Off these bonds
for thirty years. During nearly third
of q century the old miser had lived in
his hut with his concealed wealth,
spending nothing except for absolute
necessities, and these he paid for out
of the money he made farming a little
patch of land. No one had ever heard
of Smiths wealth.
Besides the government bonds, pen
sion papers were found dating back
many years with the vouchers az
ranged in consecutive ORDER Not
single voucher had been cashed. 1t is
estimated that the miser's wealth will
amount to considerably more than

Omaha, Neb., Jan. AT a specially
called meeting Of the city council, that
body adopted d concurrent resolution
Offering a reward of So, 900 for the ap-
prehension and conviction OF the des-
peradoes who abducted Edward Cud-
ally, Jr., on the night Of Dec. 1S. For
the arrest and conviction OF one, the
resolution provides a reward Of $4,000;
for two, $4,000 will be paid. and the
whole amount is offered for the three
principals. The members of the coun-
Gil did not deliberate long, and the vote
by which the resolution was passed
was unanimous The council also
asked Mr.. Cudahy to with
draw the offer of a reward of an equal
amount for the capture Of the Grim

is largely to relieve Cudahy and his
family of the fear Of reprisals from

ONE MORE BRITISH DISASTER.
Beers Sw0op Down on Another Post and
DO Much Damage.

Beers swoop Down on Another Post and
DO Much Damage.
London, Dec. 31.-The war office has
received the following dispatch from
Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, Dec
80, 1850 ii. M: General Lyttleton re-
ports that our post at Helvetia was
captured yesterday morning by the
Beers About fifty were killed and
wounded and 200 taken prisoners.
Colonel Kitchener reports that he is
following with small force in the
track of the enemy, Helvetia being re-
occupied by Reeves, who has been re-
inforced from Belfast. Helvetia was
very strong position on the Macha-
MISUNDERSTANDING railway and was
held by detachment of the Liverpool
regiment. Am asking for further in
formation"
While Lord Kitchener sends bad
news for England OH the closing day
of the year the press continues to take
a surprisingly hopeful view of a grave
situation and of revelations of an
enormously wide field of Boer activ-
ity. General DeWet is still at large
Kimberly is isolated. The Beers are
strong position at Helvetia, in the Ly-
denburg district, while judging from
Lord Kitchener's very recent advices
no progress is being made against the
BOer invaders in Cape Colony. Ac-
cording to further kilograms received
yesterday Zeerust is practically be-
sieged but has provisions sufficient for
five months.
A dispatch from CarnaryOn, dated
yesterday, reports that the OBers who
have been threatening that point were
driven off and are being pursued. The
Beers admit that in their fight with
General Clemtns at Nooit@edacht they
lost 100 men.
1T is understood that Lord Kitchen
ger cannot ask the colonies officially to
send troops" says Durham dis
patch dated Dec %. 'but he desires
lit to be known in Australasia and
Canada that Australians and Canad-
.ians arriving in Natal will be eligible
for immediate enlistment in an irreg-
allar corps, which is proceeding to JO-
hannesburg for five months service"
All dispatches arriving in London
agree that the Cape Dutch show no
inclination to rise. but ON the contrary
appear to be tired of the war and de-
sirious of peace. Many refuse to
supply the Beers with food, and are
willing to give information to the Brit
ish regarding Boer movements.

potenaries have notified the repre-
sentaives of the powers that the en-
peror DEGREES the acceptance Of their
demands as a whole and Prince Ching

that this last request is in accordance

Ingenious Stroke of-Dip,Omacy.
In diplomatic quarters the accept
ance given by Chinese ENJOYS is re-
garded as most ingenious stroke Of
diplomacy. Among diplomatic officials
it is said that this is not an nucOndi-
tional acceptance, although it is such
concurrence of the general principle
of the note that the powers cannot
well set it aside. 1t appears to be di-
rected toward reOpening the word ''lr-
revOcable" and securing more definite
and, if possible more moderate cOndi
tons on some of the points involved.
1t is not clear whether the ENJOYS will
sign the note first, and then ask for
negotiations, or endeavor to ameliOrate
the terms before the final signatures
are affixed.
G.ayer Features overcome.
In any event, it is felt that the
graver features of the trouble are over
come by the submissive attitude of the
emperor and but little remains now but
to perfect the details of the peace
treaty on the general lines heretofore
laid down. Minister WI is back from
his trip to Mont Clair, n. j., but is
still without advices from Pekin as to
what has been done. The report of an
edict from the emperor directing an ac-
ceptance has not reached the minister,
so that he had no occasion today to
confer with the state department.
