ARE NOT SCARED.
Kitchener's Proclamation Will Only
Add to Boer Determination.

London, Aug. 19.-The Freeman's
Journal of Dublin publishes an inter-
view between Mr.. Kruger and William
Redmond in Hilversum, Holland, in
the course of which the former presi.
dent of the South African republic, ex.
pressing gratitude for the Irish sup.
port, said he regarded the Irish as
brothers in oppression" and urged
the nationalist members of the British
parliament TO continue their efforts
in the cause Of justice and truth"
When asked concerning the effect
of Lord Kitchener's recent proc
lamation and of Mr.. Chamberlain
speeches, Mr.. Kruger replied:
my people are not to be frightened
by such proclamations or speeches,
which will only encourage them to
continue fighting. The British have
used armed natives against the burgh-
ers from the beginning, but we have
not used armed Kaffirs. 1t has always
been against our principles to use the
black men against the white"
Mr. Kruger said nothing had been
definitely settled on the subject OF a
visit to the United States. According
to Mr.. Redmond, his appearance be-
lies the idea that he is breaking up
either mentally or physically.

THEY MISUNDERSTOOD HIM.

Almost everybody in Kansas knows John Mcdonald. editor of the Western School Journal. They know that he is an old school Presbyterian of the strictest sort. Notwithstanding all this there was q time when John came near getting reputa5 ion of profanity that might have ruined him if the impression hadn't been corrected
 John carries with him q beautiful Scottish brogue which is pleasing to listen to. but it was that which nearly got him into trouble. Some years ago John was schoolmaster in Shawnee county. There were lot of boys in the school who figured more ill devil ment than they did on their SlateS un- less they were closely watched. Sev- eral times they had stopped mp the school house chimney and caused the room to fill with smoke. On one Oc- casion when John returned to the school house from his monday lunch, he found that the boys had been up to some mischief of this sort. and it reused his Scotch blood. He said with some impatience: T wish that you would stop this tamfoolery." Af- ter that the pipe was fixed and the school proceeded in the regular order. d the school board notified John that q serious complaint had been made against him by patron of the school.
 What is it:" asked John.
 Well, one of the women of the dis trict says that you swore at her chil- dren. She says that you called them d-d fools."
 Of course John protested with as tonishment and indignation that the charge was utterly baseless and de 1 handed the name of his accuser. When the woman was asked to pro duce her evidence, she called her daughter, who had reported the lapse of the teacher into profanity. The | girl wasn't sure of her ground by this i time. She couldn't just exactly say i that the teacher called them d-d fools. but she understood him to say l that he wanted them to .'stop their | d-n ess.''-Mail and Breeze.

of the railroad company and of the city. The line as adopted will trav- erse the city of New York from the Hudson river to the East river and be underground throughout and at such depth as net to interfere with future construction of subways by the city on all it's avenues similar to the one now building along Fourth avenue.
 As the railroad will be wholly under ground and operated electrically in the same manner as the recently construct ed Orleans railway extension in Paris it will not be objectionable in any way. There will not be any smoke, dirt or noise. and as all the surface property may be built upon after being utilized underneath for railroad purposes the neighborhood of the station will be improved instead of marred, as is so often the case when railroad lines are constructed on the surface or elevated. The company has acquired the bulk of it's property for it's principal station and means to go forward In the acqui- sition of such additional properties as will be required either by purchase or condemnation in the belief that the city authorities will meet their appli- cation ill spirit of fairness and expe- dite as much as possible this much needed improvement and great public convenience. Immediately upon the necessary authority being granted the work of construction will proceed and the whole line be completed and put in operation as soon as possible.

 The Pennsylvania Railroad company is now prepared to carry out it's policy, railroad into New York city, therein establishing q suitable passenger ter minus for the accommodation of the public.

The court wis kindly disposed toward the errino and the indiscretions of accused persons as related by the police department were considered leniently by his hon. or. There was an element of the edu cational in the doings of the session and the court proted thereby.
 An elderly gentleman was before the court in the, double capacity of in structor and prisoner. He was charg- ed by q uniformed member of the $191,000 police department with hay ing been drunk on Saturday in some remote and rather indistinct portion of the city. The prisoner expressed surprise at the accusation, and when allowed to sit in the little box wherein accused persons relate their stories. said that the idea of his being drunk was, to say the least, preposterous. and in his opinion the charge was ill., advised. Said he: II had but two sups all day" The court expressed curiosi- ty as to the nature of the libation and the accused said that he had had beer.
