Eleanor herself is a brilliant wo-

subtle, peculiar faculty which dis
tinguishes the creative intellect from

use OF her critical faculty. her taste

veloping incense of her growing ad-
miration for himself. He makes love
to her and until Miss Lucy Foster, a
younger and fresher woman, arrives,
he is content to use Eeanor's mind

and love as though they were bis of

OF Arden. an impertincnce by Ella
w. Peattie, is the modest title Of Mrs.
Peattie's new book. Jacques. the mel
ancholy one. who has found out the
bad taste Of life, the futility of all
things which men strive for and
prize till attained, Jacques, who is a
great talker and has reduced mis- phi
lnsophical lectures TO epigrams, was
the hero of romance and of con-
spiracy which succeeded in depriying
him Of his sweetheart long before he
found his way into the Forest of Ar
den. Mrs. Peattie discovered his love

coated his tongue, aod made him sar.

pepsia and all its effects on the vo-
cabulary as soon as they lose their
sxeetEearts. or their fortunes. or high
places which they occupy. Washing
tons and Lincolns, Wellingtons and
Napoleons lose their sweethearts, ca
balls are formed against them, but
nothing deters them from making
history. Every man and every wo-
man suffers defeat; misfortune tags
them from the cradle to the grave.
The weakest men kill themselves,
Others retire from the world and look
upon it from a distance with q claim
to know all its lures, while others
repine and accuse God OF persecution.
All these who refuse to accept the
rules of the game and play it out to
the end are childish. just as soon as
they withdraw from the game the
players forget them, and this is an.
other grievance.
In these days Jacques would find few
to listen to his long-winded reading
OF life. He lives because Shakspere
recognized his type and immOrtalized
him in LAS You Like It," Shakspere
knew that such as he never moved
the world nor ever truly answered
the riddles left on its hard surface as
a sign of having existed We can be
certain of this because Shakspere was
sanest of all poets. He read life large
and realized that each man was
billionth of humanity, but that man
is the reason for the existence of
everything else. He knew that the
man who talks and does nothing,
however wise the sounds he makes,
is naught but a prattler, and has no
influence upon the action OF the play,
or. if he be a live man, on the world.
Considered as story by itself, Mrs.
Peattie's accounting for Jaques' mel
ancholy and his persistent disap-
prevail of the way of life, is very in
teresting. l only wish Jaques were
more worthy Of the shower of golden
imagination she has courted him
with.
Mrs. Peattie's Jaques is much more
interesting than the dramatist's
Jaques. To be sure he has the CEN
tire of the stage, and We forget while
she is telling the stor7 that all men
have their woes and that the strong
conquer them and that the weak are
vanquished by them. "All the world
loves lover" and Mrs. Peatties

LORD KITCHENER BY THEIR
PUGNACITY
MANY HORSES ARE CAPTURED
But Burgher Commanders Seem to
BE Set ON Giving Rowing Bril-
gades of Britishers Some-
thing to Worry About.

LONDON, Nov 1.-two of Lord
Kitchener's monthly reviews dated Aug.
and Sept 8, We're published in the Ga
Zette this evening. They are chiefly
summaries of wide. sweeping movements
through all parts of the disputed terri
tories, with the results, casualties and
prisoners captured, as previously re
ported. An astonishing number Of
horses were captured, those in August
alone numbering 1850. About 20 per
cent of these were fit for remounts and
the others are brood mares and foals.
Though admitting the disappointing re-
suits of some of the operations, Lord
Kitchener comments on them as follows:
AS long as this rate of progress can
be maintained, there can be little doubt
of its ultimate effect, even on an enemy
to whom no other form of agreement
seems to appeal.
The report further says that the sys.
tenn of chains of blockhouses at inter-
walls of mile and sometimes less along
the railroads was being extended Be-
side extending the lines these block
houses hamper communication between
different portions of the Boer forces and
act as barriers against which to drive
the enemy. Lord Kitchener says:
1.-THE influence of the Boer leaders and
their organized system of intimidation
still keep in the field a large number of
burghers, who, if left to themselves,
would be ready to surrender
The writer favorably mentions several
hundred officers, on-commissioned Off
GERS and men.
A dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated
from Pretoria today, says that a strong
patrol of yeomanry, while reconnoiter-
ing Nov. 8 at Brakspruit, near Zeerust
Gin the Transvaal colony about 40 miles
west of Pretoria), was surrounded by $40
Beers and lost six men killed and six
teen wounded. Some of the troopers
were captured, but were subsequently re-
leased.
The rear guard of Col. Byng's column
was attacked near Hebron, Orange Rlv-
er Colony, Nov. IA, by 400 Beers, said
to be under the command of Gen. Dewet.
After two hours fighting the Beers re-
tired leaving eight dead on the field. OF
Col. Byng's column, Lieut.. Hughes and
one man were killed, while three officers

THE HEAVENS FALL.
Watchers at Mortified Are Reward
by Brilliant Display.

NORTHFIELD, Mimi, Nov. 15.-The
shower of leonid meteors which has been
so eagerly watched for by astronomers
for the past two years. arrived on sched-
ule time this morning at about IL clock.
The shower was very satisfactory to OBJ
servers, although not equaling that which
occurred thirty-three years ago. The dis
play, however was very brilliant and
lasted from midnight until daybreak.
Dr. Wilson, who has in charge the pho
t6graphic work of Go0dsell observatory,
exposed several good photographs of the
falling meteors. At 2:10:32 a. M a leonid
shot across the sky which approached the
minus second magnitude. 1t lighted up
the heavens and left behind it a trail
which lasted for fully three minutes At
4:15:37 a. m. a leonid passed across the
heavens fully as brilliant as the one men
toned above, leaving a trail which re-
NAMED six minutes. At 5:18:2 another
equally as brilliant appeared, leaving a
trail which remained visible for fully
twenty-five minutes.
che radiant of the shower was in Leo
Major. the greater number of meteors
shooting toward the northeast Many
fell from the radiant, however, some be-
fng fully so degrees from Leo. AS q
whole the shower was very satisfactory
to the observers. Doctors Payne and
Wilson feel fully repaid for the prepara-
tions made and the labor which they and
their assistants expended.
The meteors plated will be carefully
compared and compiled and will doubt
less be given to the public, as well as
the scientific world, at an early date.

TO SOCIAL PETS
sOLDIERLY MERIT WILL WIN
Official Declaration Made That Po-
liticaI or Society "PuIls'' Will
Not Hereafter Drag OF
the HOnOrs.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-It was an
rounced at the war department today
that the names of the officers to fill the
vacancies in the grade of brigadier gen
eral will not be announced until congress
meets, as it is not deemed desirable to
make ad interim appointments. In adj
dition to this statement, and in view of
the great pressure that has been brought
to bear, it has been deemed proper to
make the following official declaration:
1.-The secretary of war and president
have had informal discussions on army
matters on several occasions, and it is
understood that the president has eS-
pressed himself most positively on the use
of political and social influence by Off
GERS for the purpose of obtaining change
of stations leaves of absense, modifica-
lions of orders, etc OF course, it is I'M
derstood that officers often deem 1t nee
essary to have attention called to their
cases by political friends for appoint
ments; but the president has not he'll
tated to inform senator's and others VINO
have applied to him that no officer will
improve his chances by sending his
friends to annoy the president in his be-
half. On the contrary, the effect which
will be produced will probably be direct
ly opposite to that which the candidate
hopes for.
"Sey era1 senator's and representatives
have had some disappointment because
the persons in whom they are interested
have not received the appointments and
stations applied for by them, but the adj
ministration as whole is of the opinion
that the good sense and judgment of the
public men will lead them to the same
conclusion as that arrived at by the
president and secretary of war. That is,
if a system of records be thoroughly es-
tablished at the war department showing
the progressive work of officers from
year to year, it Will be far better for
the officers and men, as well as public
officials, that such a register be made the
guide book for selections. details, etc.,
rather than influence.
