The Bismarck Tribune, in giving the
origin of the names of the counties of
North Dakota, refers to Cavalier county
as being named for Charles Cavalier of
this city, who came to this country via
Hudson Bay. Mr.. CAVALIER was born in
Ohio, was one of the first settlers of ST.
Paul, and came to Pembina from there in
1851. Mr.. Cavalier spells hie name
Cavalier" but the county and town
named ior him have follomed the ordi-
nary spelling OF the word Cavalier"
which is doubtless better, as it avoids the
confusion in spelling which would other

Every danger they can overcome but the one that lies in them selves They cannot brave their own fear. He cited the case of pilots son who had worked in the Lachine rapids for years, helping his father, and learn ed the river as well as a man can know it. At the old mans death, the son announced that he would take his fa- ther's place and shoot the rapids as they had always done; yet season passed, then second season, and al- ways he postponed beginning, and, with one excuse or another, took his boats through the Lachine canal safe but tame short cut, not likely to draw tour ists.-Cleveland Mcffett in St. Nicho- las.

AN INTER EsTTNG CASE.

If the story of the sad fate of Myrtle
 correctly told it is interesting. Miss Flannigan was nineteen years old, and was more observing and thoughtful 1 than most young women of that age The situation and sorrows of old maids
 had particularly attracted her attention | and weighed on her mind. She had made careful study of their condition, and she had come to the conclusion l that she would rather die than be an
 old maid. Having come to that con- clusion she became fearful that it would be her lot to be an old maid. The fear grew until it seemed certainty, and then she killed herself to make sure that she wouldn't meet the fate she most dreaded.
 How sane Miss Flannigan was can not now be determined, but it is cer- tain that her action wasn't based on good judgment. Nothing appears to indicate that she at the age of nine- teen, had any reason to fear being an old maid. The world was all before her where to choose, and 1t is probable that she could have been married and divorced several times if she wanted to be. But if she knew, or believed she
 knew, that she wasn't to be married even once she took an unwarranted view of her situation. She might have been much happier as an old maid than a married woman, and she might have lived to bless the day that had kept her neck out of the matrimonial yoke. She made up her mind prematurely and rashly, if not actually insanely Fortu- nately, though many young women se- cretly fear that they will be old maids, they do not give up the struggle as Miss Flannigan did, and so there are mar riages and divorces and occasionally a lively and lovely old maid. It is pity that Miss Flannigan didn't wait until she had more thoroughly tested fortune, but perhaps if she had she would have been married and would have killed herself because she hadn't known enough to persist and be an old maid.

JAMES LEWIS EARLY DAYS.

| He Was Too Sensitive to Get Along We'll When He First Came to New | York
 l In her "Reminiscepces" (Scribner's) Mrs. Gilbert has some interesting things to say of the veteran actor in Daly's old company, the late James Lewis, with whom she was so closely aGsoci- ated for so many years She says
 Tt was during my engagement with Mrs Wood that James Lewis came to the Olympic. His first appearance there was on the night of September IS, 1865, in little farce called Your Iife's in Danger He, too, was from the west, from Cleveland, where he had been a great favorite He did not get on in New York at first, for he was very sensitive, and he felt the strong clique that I had not known to fear. Then he was unlucky in this; he was at his best, at that period, in the old farces, and these were just going out of vogue here. Toward the end of the season Robert Macaire was revived, and he did Jacques Strop, and although he did it well, the piece did not run long, and he soon went away to Bos- ton. It was four years before he came back to join Daly's company, when 1t was first formed.
 Lewis wanted to do just the parts that he knew he could do, and the sym pathy of the audience was absolutely necessary to him: he could not work without it. He was what one calls difficult, in spite of his naturally sweet nature. Still if he put high value upon himself and his work, he proved his right to do so.
 We played opposite parts for nearly thirty years, and I grew to be very fond of him When he died so sudden ly, I hardly had the heart to take up the old roles again!'

IN dPpEAL FOE HELP.
For Suffering Horr Women and Chil-
 hren.

An appeal for help for the suffering Boer women and children in South Af-
 rica is made by those who have the
 matter in charge in this country and
 those who desire to respond to this ap-
 peal can send their contributions to l Charles D. Pierce, trustee and treasurer
 of the Boer Relief Fund, 136 Liberty | street. New York. The need of help Is
 indicated by the following account of
 what has been done by the British in
 South Africa
 Much has been said and written con- cerning the burning of Boer farm houses by the British troops in South | Africa, accurate accounts of which are constantly being published in English l papers from reports and letters of off, | cers, engineers and soldiers of the Brit ish army, many of whom have cameras with which pictures were taken to veri- | fly reports. Since Great Britain has found that she is unable to subjugate the Boers by honorable warfare, she seeks to depopulate their country and starve the people into submission. Or ders have been issued by Lord Roberts and General Kitchener to seize and re- move all cattle, sheep, hogs chickens, grain, foodstuffs, growing crops, wag- ons and farming implements from all farms, and where that is not possible, they are to be destroyed, whether the owner Is present or not. The soldiers are also to blow up and burn all farm houg&s and outbuildings, not allowing the family to remove any of the house furnishings, they being hastily driven away with only the clothing they have on their backs.
 The Boer home is usually a building of one story, the walls of which are roof is either thatched or covered with corrugated sheet iron. The walls being very strong 1t is, necessary to use high explosive. The officer and his en- gineer first enter the house, throwing the carpets, bedding, curtains and all infammable material in a heap in the middle of the rooms. The engineer re- moves a stone from the inside of the wall; he then places a high explosive, such as dynamite or explosive gun cot ton, in the opening, attaching a fuse. The explosive is covered with earth and pieces of stone, all of which is tamped hard in order that the explosion will be most effective. The torch is then ap- piled to the infiammabale materials; the entire building is in flames; there Is a powerful explosion, cloud of smoke, shower of stones, and the Boer home is destroyed beyond repair.

4 DOCTORS RIGHT

The doctors of this city are doing
 their duty at this time when their ser- vices are so necessary and so useful and none of them has raised such a
 question as that which has just come before the Supreme court of Indiana. The suit decided was one for damages
 for the failure of an Indianapolis doc
 tor to respond to call for his services by family whose ailments he had been treating for some years. Why the doc
 tor obdurately refused to go, despite the appeals of the family and of the neighbors and regardless of the fact that no other doctor could be obtained
 in time, is not stated, and is not ma terial. He was acting within his rights in refusing to go, the court says, as no contract had been made for his ser vices. The main point at issue was whether doctor, licensed by the State to practice medicine, occupied a posi- ton analogous to that of a hotel- keeper or a railroad company, having certain public duties to perform, such as treating persons in his neighborhood in cases of emergency. On this point the court ruled that the State, in grant, ing license to practice medicine, does not require that the person licensed shall practice at all, or that he shall practice on any other terms than he may choose to accept
 It has been contended that doctor is morally bound to attend any patient for whom he is called Many doctors take that view of their duty, and most doctors respond to many calls that they would not respond to if they felt that it was right not to. Fortunately for the poor and the helpless, the good and the generous doctor is much more common than the doctor who exercises his strict ly legal rights.

NOT QUITE ALL.

l These are high new times, and though
 there IS no doubt that this country is the greatest, grandest and most power l ful country that ever was or ever will
 be world without end amen, it is possi- ble to be little too imaginative about it's greatness, grandeur and power. MT. J. Schoenhof, the well-known econ
 omist, gives us little jar when he
 cautions us in the Forum not to think
 that we are capturing all foreign mark cts right straight along and putting
 other countries out of business. It is
 held, in fact, that our increased sales abroad do not mean necessarily dimin- ished sales for our rivals, England and Germany. The world yearly needs more manufactures and gets them without anybody's ruin from loss of business. England and Germany, MT. Schoenhof shows. are increasing their sales as we'll as we. In steel rails, he says pig iron and other more or less crude commodi- ties we may, thanks to our methods, un- dersell English producers, but in tex tiles we are a long way behind Great Britain.

Dr. John Milne, of the seismic section of the Royal Society, says that vibra- tions travel faster through the interior of the earth than through the densest body known to scientists. This is proof he claims, that the interior is neither molten mass nor a hollow space, but solid matter, under such a degree of stupendous pressure that the contrac- tion of the mass causes geysers, hot springs and volcanoes, which are but local manifestations of this pressure Professor Milne has also devoted his time to the study of earthquakes, with the result that he declares he has dis covered rules which would enable one to build a house in the Philippines or Japan without having it falling about one's ears when the earth has a fit of trembling, all the parts having such a degree of pitch as will enable them to vibrate in unison.
