TRANSvAAL WAR ITEMS.

A rather unexpected result has fol-
lowed Mr.. Chamberlain's recent speech
in support of the scheme for sending
women out to South Africa at the con-
clusion of the war. An enormous
number of letters has been received
from women eager to emigrate and re-
luctant to wait till hostilities are
ended. One woman who wrote direct
to Lord Salisbury said she was pre-
pared to go out at once with her mother
and sisters, but she indicated no par
ticular sphere of usefulness. Another
wrote to the colonial Office in behalf
of herself and few other "frst-class
lady BARRIERS" Naturally the colonial
Office authorities are doing their ut
most to discourage applications from
women other than those who are self
dependent, and girls of the servant
type are urgently advised not to go
out at all. 1t is very doubtful whether
there will be any openings for them,
and the public funds cannot be used
for the purpose of granting free pas
sages to the cape.
Dispatches received at Madrid from
Lisbon are vigorously censored, but
letters just received say that the Beers
who arrived at Lisbon on board trans
ports recently from Delagoa bay were
accorded an enthusiastic reception.
Four Beers died during the voyage, and
IS sick men were taken to the hospital.
A dispatch from Cape Town, dated
the 18th, says that during the last 4s
hours 10 fresh cases of the bubonic
plague have been officially reported.
Of these, four are Europeans and the
others colored persons The corpse of
a colored person who died of the dis
ease was found on the 18th.

CHINA WAR NEWS.

Sr Robt. Harris scheme to enable
China to raise sufficient money to pay
off the allies indemnity claims, seems
to be meeting with favor among the
foreign ministers. This plan provides
for the banking of the salt and like
taxes over to the maritime customs ad-
ministratiop and the levying of an an
nual house tax equal to one-half a
months rent, which 1T is calculated
will provide 20,0O0,o 900 taels yearly,
sufficient to pay per cent interest on
$50, 600, 600 taels, and clear the whole
of the principal in less than 40 years.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press learns on the highest authority
that Prince Tuan's fate has been finally
decided. His death sentence will be
committed to Punishment TO Turkestan.
The list of guilty Chinese provincial
authorities includes only four to be be-
headed and several degradations The
Chinese com issioners are surprised
that the guilty officials should escape
with such light punishments
Although no official notification has
reached the President of the departure
of Prince Ii Hung Chang from Pekin
for Shanghai, the officials are inclined
to believe that he has done so, and that
Ii Hung Chang is really leaving Pekin
for good and because the emperor is
displeased with his conduct of the ne
gotiations. Ii favored the signing of
the Manchurian treaty which China
has turned down.
The Chinese government has form
ally notified Russia that China, owing
to the attitude of the powers, is not
able to sign the Manchurian con-
vention.

The Detroit plant of the American
Radiator Co. located in the northeast
ern part of Detroit, was visited by a
disastrous FIRE on the night Of the 9Th.
Il. w. Hedges, manager of the plant,
SAYS il is difficult at this writing to
give any satisfactory estimate of the
loss, but he placed the damage at
somewhere near 100000, and he
thought the loss was fully covered by
insurance. The fire started in the
machine shop and spread to the ware
rooms, pattern shop, carpenter shop
and tool room. which were all in the
same building This building, with
the machinery and stock it contained,
was total wreck, but the foundry,
which was separated from it only by a
narrow alley at the east end and the
pJwer house at the west end, were
saved. The plant covers about seven
acres of ground and the building that
was destroyed extended east and west
along the south line of the property.

Just for this year Louisine silk and

SAYINGS OF WISE MEN.

When death strikes down the inno-
cent and young, for every fragile form
from which he sets the painting spirit
free, hundred virtues rise in shapes
of mercy, charity and love, to walk
the earth and bless it.-Charles Dick
ems.
Beyond all wealth, honor, or even
health, is the attachment we form to
noble souls; because TO become one
with the good, generous and true, is
to become, in a measure, good gener.
Gus and true ourselves.-Thomas Ar
mold.
o there are some who want to get
away from all their past; who, il they
could, would fain begin all over again.
But you must let God teach you that
the only way to get rid of your past
is to get future out OF 1t. God wastes
nothing.-Phillips Brooks.
The greatest hero is perhaps the man
who does his very best and signally
fails, and yet is not embittered by his
failure. A life here in which you fail
of every end you seek, yet disciplines
you for a better, is assuredly not a
failure.-Alexande Smith.
Many life has been injured by the
constant expectation of death. 1t is
life we have to do with, not with death.
The best preparation for the night is
to work diligently while the day is
ours. The best preparation for death
is life.-George Macdonald.
The cross is always ready and every
where waits for thee II thou bear ii
cheerfully, it will bear thee, and lead
thee to the desired end. Set myself,
therefore, like a good and faithful SER

cross of thy Lord.-Thomas a KEN

Never lose an opportunity OF seeing
anything beautiful Welcome it in
every fair face. every fair sky, every
fair flower, and thank Him for it, who
is the fountain of all loveliness, and
drink it simply and earnestly with all
your eyes; it is a charmed draught, a
cup OF blessing-Charles Kingsley.
There is one wish ruling all man
kind. and it is a wish never in any
single instance granted-each man
wishes to be his own master. 1t is a
boys beatiic vision, and it remains
the grown-up mans ruling passion to

vice; the only question is, whom will
we serve?-F. w. Faber.

WITH THE SAGES.

Whoever is satisfied with what he
does, has reached his eliminating
point-he will progress no more Mans
destiny is to be not dissatisfied, but
forever ursatisfied.-F. w. Robertson.
The truly great man is he who does
not lose his child heart. He does not
think beforehand that his words shall
be sincere, nor that his actions shall
be resolute; he simply always abides
in the right.-Mencius.
Remember the power of indirect in
fuences; those which distill from a
life, not from sudden, brilliant effort.
The former never fail, the latter often.
There is good done of which we can
never predicate the when or where.
1t lies in the invisible influence on
character which he alone can read who
counted the seven thousand nameless
ones in Israel.-F. W. Robertson.
Our present circumstances are to be
looked upon as advantages which the
great Disposer has afforded us, and
not, as we are apt to think, impedi
ments which he has thrown in on,
way. They are the materials with
which we are to begin to build, and
not a heap of rubbish that must be
cleared out of the way before We lay
the first stone in the edifce of oui
lives.-S. p. Heron.
There are no perfect circles in the
world except, perchance, in the minds
of geometers. And yet there are a
great many imperfect circles at this
moment doing indispensable duty as
wheels or wood and iron. Let us do
the best we can; it will be faulty
enough, but we shall never do any
thing at all il we lack the courage to
make the mistakes necessary to all the
toll of man.-Melvil Dewey.

Exciting Election at Jerome.

The people of Jerome have voted
against the consolidation of their four
school districts, and the result of the
vote has been sent to Lansing in the
hope that the consolidation act will be
repealed before the Legislature adj
journs. The act was slipped through
the legislature early in the session,
and when its provisions became gener-

arose. A most bitter feeling was en-
gendered and finally as compromise
a local election was ordered at which
the widest excitement prevailed
Women were taken from sick beds and
