May Invade Nntnl.

London, Jan. 1s.-Late advices dated

sudden and heavy concentration Of
Beers in the eastern Transyaal has a
fresh invasion of Natal as its object.
Lord Kitchener accounts for the pres
ence of 1900 Beers in the Ermela and
Carolina district, but it is taken for
granted that there are several. Thousand

London. Jan. is. Recruiting for the
yeornanry required for service in South
Africa has started off actively, and 81
0G0 men will be easily obtained at 5
shiMnSs per diem for any period. This
force of good riders and marksrnen is
precisely what is needed for the fox
hunting now going on in the Dutch ter
ritories. but complaint Is made by mill
tary men that a call for volunteers
ought to have been made long time
ago. and that it will be at leasr two
months before the yeomanry is re-
cruited, properly horsed and ready to
embark for the cape.
Foresight has not been a character
istfc trait OF the present government in

Military critics cannot understand why
the 10000 geoned troops now in India
have not been ordered to South Africa
to take the place OF the war-,worn and

An exchange OF this kind could be
easily effected. and would not be ex-
pensive. The air is full of criticism that
the elections were ordered in time.

Bethlellem's Festival,

~ HE THREE days Bach fes-
tival at the historic little
Il Lehigh valley town of Beth
lehem, which last week drew
great concourse of musicians and
lovers of the best music together from
all over the country, receives also their
uns,intcd praise for its artistic per-
fcctness, and financially it has met
every expense connected with it, OF
this last says II. f. Krehbiel, the we'll
known musical critic: Under the
conditions which prevail in the larger
cities of the country such an outcome
could not have been thought of. The
solo singers at the Cincinnati festivals
alone cost more than the entire Beth
lehem festival; so does the conductor;
so does the choir, and so does the or
chestra. Love and devotion are a me-
dunn of exchange here which has n
purchasing power that is quite be-
yond calculation. Money cannot buy
the spirit which was eXemplihed today
in the choir's performance of the Mass
in Il minor"
That is the secret. 1t WAS not for
money as chief end and aim that the
Bethlehem dovotees of music have ever
sung in these grand choruses. There
has been in them through successive
generations the blended passion of re-
ligious and musical devotion-of relI-
son finding voice through music as i'm
the ancient days the Hebrew nation of
King David's time did the same.
1t is well to quote Mr.. krohbers
graphic though condensed account of
the earlier history Of this months feS-
tival. 1T was for the purpose OF pro-
ducing the mass that the Bach choir
VAS organized in December, 1898, and
the success of the first festival a wear
ago prompted the more comprehensive
scheme which has been carried out
so successfully this week. But the
Bach cult in Bethlehem is much older
than this statement indicates. Mr..
Wolfe brought a choir together in 1855,
and performed the Passion According
to ST. John. Four years later he
brought forward the greater Passion
According 10 st. Matthew Two years |
after that he gave the christmas Ora
toro.' The record is so extraordinary |
that II deserves TO be rehearsed now. |
The zeal for Bach. which blossomed so |
beautifully this week, was the inspi- |
