Saratoga, n. v, Sept. 4-Despite the slight show
ers which fell i'm the afternoon and evening or
this third day of the eighth ANNUAL fete OF the
Saratoga Floral Association, the festivities are

made attractive to-day by wealth OF evergreens'
bunting and other designs and the greater portion
OF the town now resembles garden. This after
noon was devoted TO reception at the links or
the Saratoga Golf Club. where many visitors were
handsomely entertained. Garland furnished the
music.

belt is simply impossible TO believe for a mo-
ment the extraordinary report concerning Gen
eral De Wet. which was published yesterday, to
the effect that he means to give quarter but
to put to death all British troops found In the
Orange River Colony after September -. Gen
eral De Wet is known as a particularly shrewd
and willy campaigner, as somewhat fanatcal,
and as intensely anti British. But we have
heard of nothing in his career which would
justify the notion that he is a common cut
throat, or that he proposes 10 ignore the univer-
sal laws OF warfare among civilized men. For
such a course as that which he is said to have
adopted, and Commandant Myburg. too. would
be nothing but savage murder. such as not even
the wild tribes of the wilderness indulge in
This atrocious order is said to be General De
Vets reply to Lord Kitchener. The Boer leader.
they say, is simply playing a grim game of re-
prsals. But Lord Kitchener has never given
any order even remotely resembling that His
order concerning September Is was that after

grouse in vast numbers when they are fright

personally seen instances where heads
of families in the country did not have
a good reputation for industry and
sobriety, that when they moved 70

changed and they became sober and
Industrious citizens. Further, there
are no people that love their children
any better than cotton mill people do.
The most of tho people send them to
school as much as they possibly can.
In family Of several children it is
arranged that one or two are kept at
school very neaf aall. she. time OF

rule. There are some families in the
country. town or cotton mills who
cannot be induced 10 send their
children to school. There Railways
something in the way. Some OBJ

some of the children that are attend
