reported to the war office a disaster to
the British near Bethel eastern Trans,

eral officers killed or wounded, and
fiftyfour men were killed and 16C
wounded. The following is the text of
Lord Kitchener's dispatch, dated Pre-
toria Nov. 1:
Il have just heard of a severe at
tack made on the rear guard of Colonel
Benson's column when about twenty
miles northwest of Bethel near Brok-
enlaagte, during a thick mist The
strength of the enemy is reported to
have been 1000. They rushed two
guns with the rear guard, but it is I'M
certain whether they were able to re-
move them. l fear our casualties were
heavy. Colonel Benson was wounded,
but not severely. A relieving column
will reach him this morning"
Benson Dies of His Wound.
Later Lord Kitchener telegraphed as
follows: Colonel Barter, who marched
from the constabulary line yesterday,
reached Benson's column early this
morning unopposed. He reports that
Colonel Benson died of his wounds.
The other casualties are the following:

Kitchener then gives the names of thir-
teen other officers who We're wounded,
most OF them severely, and announces
that tifty-four non-commissioned Off
GERS and men were killed and 100
wounded, adding that four of the lat
ter have since died of their wounds.
Believes the Guns Were Retaken.
The dispatch then says: II assume
that the two guns have been recovered
and the enemy has withdrawn, but I
have no further details. / deeply re-
greet the loss of Colonel Benson and
the other officers and men who fell
with him. In Benson the service loses
a most gallant and capable officer, who
invariably led his column with marked
success and judgment. The fighting
was at very close quarters and main

sides. The enemy suffered heavily, but

mate. The Beers retired east"

NOT DRIED CURRANTS
A LEARNED GROCER COMMENTS UP
ON A COMMON MISTAKE.


The Tiny Fruit Used In Cake, Pud-
dinRs, Buns and the Like Are Rai-
sins Made From Little Grapes That
Are Grown In Greece.
'MotheS wants a pound Of dried cur
rants" said little girl who came into
the learned grocer's store in Eighth
avenue.
II haln't got dried currant in.the
store and there hain't none in the city,"
replied the learned grocer. "But
know what you want, sissy, and I've
got 'em."
The learned grocer brought forth a
box of the little, sticky, sugary, gritty
currants used in fruit cake, plum pud'
dings, mince pies, buns and the like.
"Why, them's 'emw exclaimed the
little girl.
"Yes; them's 'em." assented the gro
Ger, "and II the Grecian maiden who
trod this particular lot of 'em into ship
shape had used little water or even
feather duster on her feet before she
began there wouldn't be 80 much grit
In 'em as there Is. She must have been

might just as well put lot OF sandpa'
per In her fruit cake. And tell her that
they amt dried currants either"
"What's the reason they ain't dried
currantsY demanded disputatiye
customer when the girl had gone.
"They amt dried currants any more
than they are dried pumpkins" replied
the grocer. THE reason they ainf
dried currants is that they weren't cur

"Cause they don't know any better"
soid the learned grocer. They'll go
right on coming In here aud asking for
dried currants just the same after tel
'em why they amt dried currants as
they did before"
"What should they ask for, thenI" iu-
| quired the customer
''If any man should come In here ans
ask for dried corinths," replied the
learned grocer, "he would not necessa'
rily be a gentleman, but I'd bet on him

what you should ask for when you

REWARD li0F
Ex>DETECTIvES
lem Was Turned Down But
Was ReinStated

One bill that got through the State
Legislature in the closing hours OF the
session that aroused considerate indig-
nation among the members of the com
mittee was the allowance Of the claims
of ex.Detectives Paddy Maher and
Joseph Reilly, for reward for the cap-
ture of George Jackson and Charles
Wilson, train-robbers.
The ways and means committee con-
sidered the claim and "satdown" on it
hard, considering that neither was en-.
titled to a reward. An appropriation Of
5000, however, was recommended for
Jennie Hamilton, the woman in whose
house the train robbers rOomed.
Mrs. Hamilton kept guard
over the train robbers pending
the arrival of the police after tele-
phoning to the City Jail that she had
them under surveillance. Reilly and
Maher were detailed to bring the train
robbers TO the Jail, and beyond this had
nothing to do with the case. They were
each drawing 500 month salary
from the city at the time.
The claims Of Maher and Reilly we're
rejected, and both the House and Senate
ratified the action OF the committee.
Tn the excitement Of the closing hours
OF the session th els claims, along with
some other items, again we're smuggled
in, in the shape Of amendments to the
special appropriation bill. Perhaps half
of the members did not know what they
were voting on when they adopted the
amendments, while the rest were in no
humor - enter into protracted wrangle
over these matters at tie expense OF
more important legislation
The claims for reward for the capture
of the train robbers are based upon sec.
ton 2l97 of Hills code, which provides
for a reward of 5000 each for the arrest
and conviction Of train robbers.
