THE SOUTH AFRICAN WINTER
VIII Facilitate Boer Operations and
Hinder the British.

London, May 16.-The Pretoria CORE
spondent of the Times in a letter dated
April 49, says:
In another fortnight the South Afri-
can winter will have arrived; and, unless
the Beers are prevented from moving
north to the bush veldt and hostilities are
somehow ended, there will be another
spell of severe and unsatisfactory cam
paigning in an impossible country, to-
gether with five months of comparative
peace in the two colonies, to be broken
by a recrudescence of guerilla operations
all over the country, when the spring
rains enable the enemy to operate on the
high veldt.
But this will mean no respite to the
troops. no moving into winter quarters.
but only a continuance of the most de-
moralizing warfare that can be under
taken"
The correspondent then describes
strenuous scheme which is on foot t.
prevent the enemy retiring north into
winter quarters" but he does not appear
to be very sanguine of its success
The figures of the intelligence bu-
reau," he says. show that there are still
between 1900 ana 1900 burghers availa-
BILE for service, although no commando is
known to exist larger. than eight hun

Mrs. Mckinley's AiIment.
From the New York Herald.

The illness of Mrs. Mckinley. due. as
II is reported, to bone felon" Of one of
her fingers, is not in itself of a serious
nature. Although the pain occasioned by
the local Inflammation is very great and
the constitutional disturbance more or
less severe, there is no danger of blood
poisoning when prompt treatment is given
by free incision OF the affected part. As
the latter has already been done by her
physician, IT is to be hoped that her re-
covery will be rapid and satisfactory.
Generally the disease is caused by a
severe bruise, which infiames the covering
Of the bone, causing deep seated suppu-
ration.
As the investing membrane OF the bone
is very firm and unyielding. the accumula-
ton of the effusion underneath II has no
ready vent. and when relief OF pain and
tension is not afforded by a deep cut
either the bone itself is apt to be de-
stroyed or the finger is rendered useless
by subsequent destruction of it's joints and
tendons.
When the operation is delayed by want
of pluck in the patient the matter" is
likely to burrow under the deeper It's
sues of the palm and Jeopardize the entire
hand. Happily, In these times OF improv-
ed local anaese hesia there need be no pain
felt by the knife and. with the perfection
OF wound treatment, no fear OF subsequent
blood infection.
1t II not at al unlikely that In a person
with delicate hands comparatively slight
injury may cause relatively great
amount OF mischief Hence Il is quite
possible that the mere pressure OF finger
rings by hearty handshaking may have
been the initiative cause In Mrs Mckin-
,ley's case.

CLAIM AGENTS SERMON.
His Suspicious Aroused by the

Lewiston Correspondence of the Boston

j. S. Sanborn, the wealthy coffee mer-
chant of Boston, has a stock farm at
Poland, Me, which is one of the show
he is there, among his coach stations
and mares, is having the best time of his
long and busy life. He gets right on to
the farm, wears old clothes, talks farmer
talk and forgets that he ever lived in
the city. Here is the thing that his
tickled him most in ten years.
Mr. Sanborn occasionally orders from
the city a little something to keep in the
cellar for the horse loving friends who
drop around at his place to see him. And
as he admires his friends he has only
the best stuff. A while ago a shipment
was started to him over the Grand
Trunk When the packages reached Po-
land 1t was found that some thirsty in
dividuals had lifted" a considerable Dor
tion of the best whisky. Mr.. Sanborn
complained to the railroads agent at
Lewiston Junction. and the matter was
reported. In course of time a claim agent
dropped off the train at the junction one
day. The name James S. Sanborn" did
not convey to him the significance IL
would to some others. That is to saw.
he wasn't looking to find j. S. Sanborn.
of Boston, on a farm down in Maines
Now, 1t happened that Mr.. Sanborn had
arrived at the station only a few mo-
ments before to look after some freight
that he expected. He had been assist
ing some of his men who had been
blowing. The wind had been blowing
across the field. and the clothes Mr..
Sanborn wore were the Oldest he owned.
There was more or less CRIME on his
face. and as he had walked across lots
to the station he hadn't bothered to
wipe Il off.
He was sitting by the office stove when
the claim agent came in. The stranger
FROM Montreal pulled out his papers
and looked at them
Where will l find one James S. SAM
born?" he asked the station agent.
There sits Mr.. Sanborn. right there"
replied the man whom he questioned.
"AhH' The claim agent fixed his eye
glasses on his nose and looked at the
burly men in the rusty, dusty stained
clothes. "Ahv So you are J. S. sam
born?"

RELIEF OF JACKSONVILLE.
SAVANNAH HEADS THE LIST OF
GEORGIA CITIES.

Ranks Fourth on the Entire List,
Only New York, Chicago and Bos-
ton Surprising Her In Donations.
A List of the Contributions From
the Cities and Towns of Georgia
and FIorida-The Total to Date
$112,OOO-The Destitution Is Great,
However, and More Help Is Needed.
Jacksonville, Fla, May 15.-Now that
the horror of the terrible disaster which
has befallen this city. has become less
fresh in the minds OF the country at
large, the needs of the Relief Committee
and the lengthening out of the time when
Jacksonville can announce to the world
that she is again Independent of outside
aid, has become more apparent to those
who are endeavoring to relieve the dis
tress which exists here, and which is
bound to increase as the season pro-
crosses. Up to date the total subscrip-
tions paid in amount to about $112, 900, and
the balance still on hand is $4,000 The
Relief Committee is feeding $500 people
daily and besides is furnishing labor in
stead of food to 1000 and upwards of
people. The payroll and the commissary
supplies will. added to other necessary
expenses, be enormous for at least three
months longer.
The people here, or WERE before the
necessities of the situation became appar-
ent, loath to make a clamorous call for
assistance, and it is only because they
now see the absolute need of further aid
that they have renewed their appeal to
the generosity of the country.
Among the cities outside of Georgia and
Florida that have contributed literally,
are New York about $4,000, Boston 81, 800
Baltimore 800, Charleston 81, 600, Calves
ton $1,000, Nashville s., 900, Chicago 5000
and numerous others to liberal amounts.
Ihe subscriptions, however, are now fall
ing off very rapidly. Among personal
contributions may be mentioned that of
H. M. Flagler, w. p Clyde, j. Shelton
Williams and Senator NJ. s. Quay.
Some Georgia subscriptions.
Savannah takes the lead in the matter
of actual cash donations to the sufferers
and the official returns do not tell the
whole story as large quantities of sup
plies and money have been sent here
from that city. to personal friends and
kindred for distribution which does not
appear in the account of the Relief Com
mittee. The $1,000 additional which was
received from Savannah yesterday. was a
quick response to the cali issued by the
committee. and which appeared in the
Morning News of the same day.
Among the contributions from Georgia.
acknowledged by the committee are the
following.

Again the agent took a look at the old
clothes and the dirt.
"a farmer"
AHA! A farmer! l don't know much
about the State of Maine, but l would
like to ask you if most farmers down
here buy whisky at IS a gallon?' The
agents tone plainly indicated his opin-
ion that Sanborn was asking the rail-
road to pay an exorbitant price The
station agent started to interrupt. but
Sanborn was enjoying the situation too
much.
I'VE won't need any assistance from
you, Mr.. Blank" said Sanborn. Il think
this gentleman and myself can settle
the matter all right. Now Mr. Claim
Agent, here's the bill of that whisky
from the firm of which l bought it. You
can see for yourself that am only ask

The agent looked the bill over care.

severe look, he said:

you say is true. We shall pay the bill
But l really do feel compelled 20 say

altogether, but II you must drink, then
for Heavens sake buy a cheaper grade,
and use your money for yourself and

looked at the old clothes.
Sanborn said very humbly: I'm very
much obliged to you. Mister, for your
advice to an old farmer. l will think 1t
over. But" and here he rose and lowered
over the man. how long has it been
