DE VETS MENTAL CONDITION
believed by,TBpse Who. Have Dcea IN
Contact with Him 60 be
Mudnap.

Bloemfontein, Orange River colony,
March 16.-Prisoners who have lately
been released by Gen. De Wet say
they think he is a madman. They ave.
that the terrible fatigues he has un.
dergone. his anxieties and the iu-
tcnsity of his feelings have unhingcd
his mind. Apart from this view OF
Gen. De Vets mental state, some OF
his pecularities are that he rarely
sleeps within the bounds of his camp
He seeks rest outside, with a few
trusted followers. Thus, the order.
lies of his subordinate commanders
are frequently unable to find him to
receive orders. His secrecy is cx.
treme. He absolutely imphrts his
plans to no. one.
Gen. De Wet repudiates the peace
negotiations which are going ON. lie
declares openly to the men under his
command that no terms except inde
pcndercc will satisfy him.
4 recent utterance attributed tC
Gen. De Wet is that after the British
he hated the Transvaalers.
The whereabouts of Gen. De Wet
during the last two or three days is
unknown, nor is it known whether
President Steyn is with him.

The Fast Mali

A production Of unusual mag
nitude will be given at Morton's
Theatre, Madisonville Thursday
March 2S. Lincoln j. Carter's
superb melodrama, 'The Fast
MAIL" as it's name indicates, it
deals largely with the railroad
in its incidents, but it presents
an abundance of effects that are
daring in their magnitude and
admirable in their execution.
The steamboat is said to be a
wonder of clever conception aud
masterly mechanical work and
the railroad scene, with it's trains
going at a terrific rate of speed,
makes the stage seem like piece
of reality. The Niagara Falls
scene is wonderfully beaufiful,
and it may safely be said is more
elaborate than anything of the
kind ever before attempted in
this city. There are q multitude
of minor effects that contribute
to make the performance a reve-
lation of realism. The whistles,
bells and splashing are heard as
the boat leaves the wharf. The
sounds that tell us of an ap-
preaching train herald the ap-
proach of the freight and fast
mail train-the latter rushing by
with people gazing from the win
dow at the heroine who has Just
saved her lovers life by fasten-
ing a letter to the mail pouch.
The roaring Of Niagara Falls is
heard, and the mist that rises
from it is shown vividly. The
play is startling at times in the
intensity Of its climaxes, and
these when presented with all
the effects Of the intricate stage
settings bring the interest to a
degree that is rarely attained
even in the melOdrama. A large
number of people are employed
in the production, which is in
many particulars plainly the re-
suit of care and skill combincd.

SOCIAL PROGRESS.

The coming civilization will be
blending of the principles Of
socialism and enlightened midi
vidualism. 1t will recognize the
brotherhood Of man and the free
dom OF each unit of that brother
hood. In it the public will own
and operate those things which
are public; but in no way will it
trench on the rights of the ihdi-
vidpal. There will be neither a
community of property nor COM
munity OF wages. There will
simply be communal operation
of those utilities which are used
By all alike. Each man will have
a right to that which he produces
or its exact equivalent. Individ-
ual liberty will he increased
rather than abridged; and the pri-
vate home and tn, family will still
remain the cornerstone Of the
social structure.
This is the new and practical
system which the present thought
is formulating. II is not socialism
rs that term is usually understood.
Neither is it individualism. 1t is
an intermingling Of the two. II
is not All ultimate condition.
There is no such thing. II is a
condition which meets the lie.
msnds OF this age.
Sooner or later the radicals Of
both schools of thought will he
forced to come TO this neutral
ground. 1t is the logical aud in.
evitable course. You cannot over
turn the world in a minute. You
must 90 by natural stagee. The

in the direction Of Capitalization
and cooperation; and thia will
lead in the end to the public own.
