An inventive turn of mind sometimes
leads it's possessor into peculiar Difficult
ties. A Boston daily paper tells of a
man who devised one-pece rubber
lined cotton undergarnent, which was
intended to be soft and warm and at
the same time waterproof He expect
ed to make a fortune by the sale of the
same to miners, seafaring men and
others whose occupations are pursued
in damp or wet places.
Unfortunately, however, when he
donned the new garment and it became
warm, the rubber melted and stuck to
his body, and the fabric was only re-
moved with the aid of pair of scissors
and a scraping knife.
Something similar, although from a
different cause, happened to an Indiana
tramp who was prowling around in
search of shelter for the night and
found a convenient barn. 1t was dark,
and he felt his way up the ladder into
he loft.
While walking around there he step
ped into an open shaft and down he
went to the floor below. That was not
the worst of it. There was a vat Of
sorghum-molasses directly beneath the
shaft, and the tramp went in up to his
neck.
He crawled out and tried to scrape
off the mess with hay and straw, but
when he emerged next morning he was
such a sight that the dogs were afraid
of him. In the end he was forced to
surrender himself to the police, so that
he might get change of clothing.

SAYS BOER WILL CONTINUE
HAVE PLENTY OF FIGHT LEFT.
Beers Are Only Waiting for Winter
to be Over, Says Captain Won
LOsberg, an Invalid Captain of
Artillery.

New York, April l9.-Captain Otto Won
Losberg, captain of the Second battery
1Tansvaal state artillery, who left the
Boer army in January, being incapacitated
with wounds, arrived from Europe with
Montague White. He will start for New
Orleans, his old home, Immediately. In an
interview, Captain Won Losberg said:
Il talked with General Louis Botha be-
fore coming away. You may 90, he told
me. You have fought WELL | give YOU
your discharge. When you come back we
shall be free or fighting shall fill pa
triot's grave. Go, my boy God be kind
to YOU
That is the kind of men who fight for
the Boer cause. The English have VIC
lated every law Of civilized warfare. They
have armed 5000 Kaffrs, who are in Stein
acher's horse, which is the scum of South
Africa. They fight like the Hessians fought
you-for hire. They get II shillings a
day They plumber and pilage everybody,
young and old alike. When | was wound
ed | was put in a Red Cross ambulance
and started for Lourenzo Marques. We
were held up by so Kaffrs, who wore
nothing but breechclouts and carried Brit
ish rifles. They took everything we had
and turned me back to Pretoria. | com
planned of the violation of the Red Cross
flag and robbery to the British officers.
They investigated and admitted that | had
been shamefully treated. They promised
restitution after the war;
you Americans have little conception
of the resources of the Beers. General
Delarey alone has 100000 rounds of am
munition. We have 20 guns and Long
Tom. The latter is hidden for future need.
We need nothing but ambuances and sup
plies. Our Holland societies sent us three
ambulances and horses several months ago
via Lourenzo Marques. The British there
had them held up and they are they yet,
while our men are dying for the need of
them. Our forces are distributed like this:
Delarey has 5000 men, Botha 1000, Dewet
5000, and the rest are in flying corps. They
constantly harass the British Most of our
men are fighting south of Pretoria. The
Americans with our army, and particularly
the Irish-Americans, are doing magnificent
fighting. One of the latter was a sergeant
major in the Sixth Massachusetts regi-
ment. The Irish Americans prevented the
capture of our Long Tom by their bravery
at Leydenburg. They fought like fiends.

Reports that huge railroad combina-
lions are in process of formation were
widely circulated in New York recently
Detailed statements concerning the
plan already published, looking to the
combination of all the great railway
systems of the United States under the
control of the company, were given, but
as general thing prominent railroad
officials and bankers declined TO dis
cuss the matter. According to all ac-
counts the enterprise involved the
greatest combination of capital known
in the history of finance. 1t is said the
company would be formed under the
laws of New Jersey for the purpose of
conducting a general freight and trans
portation business throughout the
United States; that the company would
hold controlling interest in all the
great railway systems and that the
management of the roads would be
vested in the controlling company. Ac-
cording to the proposition each road
would preserve it's identity and corpo-
rate existence, but the new company
would control the affairs of all. By
this policy, it was asserted, large sums
of money could be saved as a result of
economies in management and the stop
page of rate cutting.
