That the British war office has at
last felt the necessity Of calling out
the reserves to I'll the depicting ranks
Of the army la South Africa IS made
plain by late London cabIegram.
The knowledge that this unusual
measure was contemplated came out
somewhat sooner than was expected
and in an unexpected way, but 1t no
less clearly reveals the purpose and dire
necessity Of the government.
According TO the London cable. "the
war office distributed to the police Of
fees throughout the kingdom bills or
dering all reservists, militia, yeomen
and volunteers to report themselves
without delay to head quarters with the
view Of active service. These bills are
accompanied by letters ordering that
the former be kept In a safe place until
telegraphic orders to post them up are
received. The police Of Lancaster over
looked the letter and posted the bills,
causing widespread perturbation
The posting Of the order might posi-
bly, have been deferred for a few days
or even few weeks, but it has gener-
ally been recognized in England that
1t must come to thls sooner or later. SO
unpopular has the war become that it
Is now next to impossible to recruit by
voluntary enlistment the army in South
Africa. which is being decimated by
disease and Boer bullets.
The extent of Great Britain's continu-
Gus losses may be gathered from the
official report for September, 1901,
which shows that 81 officers and 3S3
men died in South Africa during the
Of this number IL officers and 10 men
were killed in action, officers and 139
men died of disease, while accidental
deaths accounted for the loss of / Off
Ger and % men. Besides this there
must be figured in to tell the cost Of
the campaign IA officers and 400 men
aNNOhAlNh Iva 40 iiiSStiS ana
and 60 officers and 1926 men who were
sent home as invalids. This brings the
total of September's losses to 2,s06-
96 officers 2,710 enlisted men. From the
beginning of the war up to Oct. 1, 1901,
there have been S24 officers and 16,64S
men who have died in South Africa. OF
this number 4.757 were killed in action,
1923 died of wounds, 81 died in captiyi-
ty, 1850 died of disease and 445 deaths
are credited to accidental causes. Be
sides this go are either missing or
prisoners and 81 470 have been sent
home as invalids. OF this number 423
have died and 3,774 have left the serv-
ice unfit for further work.
With such losses as these and no
counterbalancing gains, with the cam
paign well along in the third year and
the end. which was long ago promised
and time and again reaSserted, not yet
in sight, 1t is no wonder that England
is becoming tired of the terrible drain
upon her manhood and resources.

Pacing n Natural Gait.

The pacing habit is common among
animals. says a writer in ScribnerS
Magazine. Many animals pace-cattle
for instance; and. among dogs, settlers
| believe pacing to be rather more
natural gait than trotting. Trotting
as it exists in our fast horses, Is scarce
ly natural gait, but is rather the re
suit of breeding and education.

THE BALTIMORE zoo.
Our readers will notice in this issue notice
of the Zoo at Baltimore. We have ourselves
visited the Zoo and have appreciated the
wonderful exhibits of Gagged wild animals
there. Besides the show of fierce beasts,
tanned and untamed, director General Bos-
took has engaged a long list of attractions
which show in the steei-bound arena in the
centre of the Zoo Among these are such
exhibitions as that of Madame Moreli and her
trained troupe of wild leopards, jaguars and
panthers, seven in nunber, who obey their
mistress as puppies would. Above all the
Zoo has the most extraordinary attraction ever
offered the public in the person of Chiqnita,
the marvellous midget, II inches high, 81 years
old and weighing 81 pounds;
The Zoo has just received direct from the
Artic regions eight Polar bears. that will be
trained every day before the public as pre-.
paration for their appearance under the B9s-
took direction of the Pan-American EXPOSE
ton.
wonderful group of natives of Ceylon is
also showing at the Zoo, as is Farmer Jones
and his Educated Pigs, and the Horoscope,
which shows wildly the actual horrors Of the
Galveston disaster.
Children and old people can ride Big Liz,
the monster elephant, and the cameis or sa-
cred donkeys free of charge.

Many people in our neighborhood are suf-

Mr. c. w. Bowersox is having quite large
lot of lumber railroad ties and shingles sawed

saving.
Our community was shocked at the sudden
death of Mrs. David Bale, which took place
on the 9th instant, after three days sickness
She was about sc years old. Mrs. Bale was
kind mother, faithful companion and a
good neighbor. She will be greatly missed in
this vicinity. Interment was made at Stone
Chapel cemetery on Tuesday last in the pres
ence of u large number of neighbors and
friends. Rev. Reuben Kolb officiated, using
for base for his remarks Paul's second letter
to the Corinthians, 4th chapter. 18th and 18th
verses. The pall-bearers were Nathaniel
Zie, James Robertson, George Harris, James
Pennington, Ellsworth Lowell, Daniel Killer.

Sunday School Entertainment.

In regard to the entertainment given at
Bachman's Church on January LIST, entitled
Heralding, feel it my duty to say few words
to those who we're so faithful in making the
affair one that will long be remembered, by
lending helping hand in decorating the
church with such pleasing effect with ever
greens of various descriptions. The pulpit
was completely hidden and OIL each side
were trees finely trimmed with ornaments and
candles, giving it the appearance of the sea
son that was celebrated. La addition to this
there was an imitation chain drawn across
and above the pulpit bearing numerous stars,
representing the Star of Bethlehem. As the
entertainment was the first for number of
years, we hope it may moi be so long until we
can again see one similar and better for we
must Away increase that which is good, in
this church. Thanking those who helped so
faithfully in the work and also those who be-
longed TO the school in rendering their help
by singing, reading, recitations, ETC., espec-
tally the superintendenis and teachers who
conducted the school. That we may again
see the Sunday school season open bright,
with a good attendance, in the spring, and
rendering all the help that's needed in a
Union Sunday School, beg to remain,
Yours very truly, W.

Reaportionment Bill.

The House of Representatives on Tuesday
passed bill TO reapportion members under
the new census. The committee bill, limiting
the humber to S57 members, as at present,
was defeated, and the Burleigh bill, increasing
the membership to 1856, was passed by vote
of 1875 to 102, the division being non partisan.
Under the committee or Hopkins bill, a few
states would have lost representatives and
others would have gained.
Under the billed as passed no existing state
quota is reduced, and the gains are as follows:
Illinois, New York and Texas. 3; Minnesota,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, 2; Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida,
Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Mis-
souri, North Carolina, North Dakota, Wash
ington, West Virginia and Wisconsin, 1.
If the bill passes the Senate as it passed the
House, the electoral college in 1904 will con-
sist of 476 members, and it will require 239
votes to elect President and Vice President.

The Way They Do It In New York
And Maryland.
From the Frederick Citizen

Ii would be well for the Democrats of Mary
land TO reflect upon the arbitrary manner in
which political matters are managed by the
Republicans bosses in New York. Under a
miserable pretense for the welfare and safety
of the dear people, Boss Plat, in order to
make room for Republican District Attor
ney of New York, has the Governor to re-
move Democrat and forthwith installs a
Republican in his place. Now first think
what howl there would have been in Mary
land if Demo cratic leaders had urged such a
step and Democratic Governor had acted
as Roosevelt. Yet here we are quietly sub
hitting to an increase of members of the Leg
islature in Republican counties, where, to the
surprise ofal, increased population is claimed
and six Republican members put down to
help ito elect Republican United States
Senator. We wonder what Governor Smith
thinks of ratifying this most remarkable claim
of increased population. Strange, is it not,
that our Maryland population has such won
derful increase in only Republican counties :?
Yet the Democrats quietly look on and let
Senator McComas and Mr.. Mudd run the
census enumerators to suit their fancy and
help to count out Democratic majorities in
this State

By the charter of Baltimore all unexpended
appropriations are turned over to the several
sinking funds. In 1899 over $4,000 were
carried to the sinking funds and IN 1900 about
$500, 700. This provision of the charter either
ought to be repealed or closer calculations
made liz estimates of expenditures. With a
high tax rate and improvements needed, it is
neither good policy nor good sense to carry
money to the sinking funds in excess of the
requirements of the acts authorizing the loans.
