The Author of "ouo vadis. .

Not many of the thousands of
Americans who read and marveled at
:sQuo Vadis'' know that the man
who wrote this great book was himself
for some time resident of this coun-
try. In the February number of The
Ladies' Home Journal Clifford How
ard brings out this interesting fact in
describing the beautiful home of
Madame Modjeska in Southern Cali
fornia. Sienkiewicz came to America
about the middle of September, 1875,
with party of thirty Polish
immigrants. not such as we usually
picture to ourselves as landing at New
York, but ladies and gentlemen of
culture, many of them persons of ma
tional reputation in Poland. They
had been imbued witha desire to live
in the land of liberty by Modjeska
and her husband. Count Bozenta.
And in due time they found them
selves in the beautiful Santa Ana
Valley. Here they lived in perfect
contentment, but in time their funds
grew low, and one after another they
crifted back to Poland, Sienkiewlcz
among them, leaving behind only the
great actress

February Ladies' Home JournaI.

The February issue of The Ladies'
Home Journal opens with the first
part of Miss Portor's new romance of
Che South, "Those Days in Old Vir-
ginia,'' illustrated by W. L. Taylor.
This is followed by Joseph Blethen's
story of 'sThe Girls of Flat G, tale
of four girls who established 'bache-
lors' hail., and the third installment
of The Russels in Chicago clever
satire on the way they do things in
the Western metropolis. A most in
teresting and timely contribution is
"My Impressions of American
Women, - by His Excellency, WI
Ting-fang, Chinese Minister to the
United States. Clifford Howard
describes Madame Modjeska's paradise
of a home in Southern California, and
Franklin B. Wiley writes of 'sThe
Summer Homes of Well-Known Peo-
ple,'' telling and showing where such
famous folks as Paderewski and Marion
Crawford and a dozen others spend
the warm months. For the children
are "The Journals Puzzle School, :"
a new game, and description of how
to make "snoke pictures. - The edi-
torial page is given up to the first OF

little. fake, that. has ever transpired
in.this region. A planter who lives
in our town says that one OF his
tenants got circular that came all
the way from that pious country where
they used to sell nutmegs made OF
wood and seed oats made OF shoe
pegs. The circular said that any one
remitting money order for Sl.79
would have sent to them handsome
set of oak finished furniture. The
credulous man would not consult MS
landlord, but sent it, and as the circu-
lar said: s'Please mention the color of
the upholstery that you prefer" he
wrote that he wanted green. In due
time ne was notified that the furni-
ture had been shipped. So he waited
about ten days and then drove in with
a two-horse wagon to receive 1t and
haul it home. On inquiring at the
depot he found little box and inside
was a miniature set of furniture for
a doll. The bedstead was s inches
long and the sofa 6. On the outside of
the box was rs cents for freight.
But the upholstering was green and
the man smiled a sickly grin and said ::

Now, if there is anything for which
I have particular dislike, it is per-
sonal controversy with my fellow-man.
I was forced into this once to protect
my name and secure my peace, but If
it shall result in protecting the depen-
dent women Of this land from the
greed and tricks Of strangers, l shall
not regret the controversy. The gov
ernment will take hand in it after
while, but that will not refund the
money. A Federal court has already
got the cherry tree man in limbo.
The United States postal law de-
clares that no newspapers shall be car
ried as second class matter unless they
are for legitimate subscribers who
with their own consent have paid or
agreed to pay the subscription price.

spect and confidence to that extent

two months ago and you know the

think as meanly of any man as l now
think Of you and your son. If you

Beers BBoERs NOT ASKING FOR PEACE.
The Colonists are Joining Them
in Increasing Numbers.

London, Jan. 25.-The Daily News
has published from its correspondent
at The Hague, whom it claims to
have been very accurate, the following
dispatch taken from private advices:
"News from South Africa has reach
ed military circles here that the power
of the Beers over Cape Colony is in
creasing daily, that the rebellion is
constantly spreading and that the
colonists are joining the Beers in
steadily increasing numbers. The
executions of Commandant Lotter and
Comamndant Scheepers have had the
result of deciding the loyalists to Join
the Beers, whose position is persist
emily reported to be more favorable
than ever.
The same private advices assert
that the British suffered dozen de-
feats from September to November,
1901, of which no mention is made in
Lord Kitchener's reports.

Chamberlain en-Boer War.

London, January 20.-The first i'm
portant debate Of the session began in
the House Of Commons tonight on an
amendment to the address In reply to
the speech from the throne. The de-
bate called out Mr.. Chamberlain, the
colonial secretary, who spoke vlgor-
ously in defence of the Boer war. He
made the significant statement that If,
as Lord Roseberry's speech intimated,
the Beers believed they could at any
time secure a repetition of Lord Kitch-
ener's terms, he wished to inform
them that they were mistaken.
Mr.. Chamberlain added, however,
that the Governments programme was
not one of determination. The Beers,
he said, had already been offered
terms, the liberality of which surprised
even England's most severe critics.
Since they had been rejected, the
Government did not propose to embar-
rass itself with further specific offer,
and certainly would not withdraw the
proclamation of August Z, 1901. It
would not propose any general con-
fscation of property.
Mr.. Chamberlain said that the mag
nanimous treatment of the soldiers Of
the Confederacy had been upheld as an
example, and it had been suggested
that The course of the United States
in that matter should be followed IN
South Africa.
"I am willing to accept the
parallel - said the colonial secretary.
stWhile the lives of the soldiers were
spared, no political condition was
given the Confederates, while their
property was confscated on tremen-
dous scale. I see no reason whatever
to believe that an unconditional sur
render would permanently ALLEVIATE a
conquered people. It did not in the
case of the United States, although
it did not restore immediate harmony.
But, after period, which is a mere
trihe in the life-history of nation, 1T
did lead to complete reunion

Forty Years in the Hands Of
Receivers.

1t is noteworthy that among the
railroads sold under foreclosure pro-
ceedings in 1901 was one-the Blue
Ridge-which had been in the hands
of receivers for over forty years. The
Railway Age recalls that it was com
menced in 1855, was intended to run
from Anderson Court House, in north
western South Carolina, across cor
ner of Georgia and through North
Carolina to Knoxville, Tenn. a dis
tance of only about 130 miles by air
line, but considerably more over the
difficult mountain route that was in
volved. It's construction would bave
complete direct line from Charles
ton to the west, and hence that city
and the state of South Carolina took
the chief financial burden of its con-
struction, subscribing for 81. 100, 600
of the stock. Thirty-four miles Of
track were completed in 1859 from
Anderson to Walhalla, and at that
point the road has ever since termi-
mated, with the wall Of the Blue Ridge
mountains discouraging further
progress. Some tunneling and rock
work was done beyond, but in 1851 all
work was suspended, after about
SO, 600, 600 had been spent, for lack Of
the $40, coo, 600 more needed to com
plete it. In the consultations and
combinations of subsequent years the
Blue Ridge Railroad was left alone
and has long been operated under a
receiver.

New York, JAN 24.-The coroner's
investigation into the cause OF the re-
cent disaster in the New York Central
railroad tunnel was brought to close
tonight when the jury. after being
out three hours and five minutes, re-
turned verdict completely exoxnerat-
ing John Wischow and E. G. Filler

into the rear-end of the train causing
the death of II people. The verdict
places the blame for the conditions
leading TO the accident on the officials
of the railroad. Both Wischow and
Filler were Immediately discharged
from custody.
