Mute Soldier Saves Girl.

CHICAGO, Illinois, March 19
George L. Howe, the young
soldier who created a stir during
the recent visit of Prince Henry
in Chicago by attempting to pass
a letter to the Prince, saved a
young girl from probably severe
injury yesterday afternoon be-
fore leaving for New York. The
young man was on his way to the
depot, and was crossing the
street at Dearborn street and
Jackson boulevard when an auto
mobile approached. The girl
was directly in its path, and both
she and the driver of the auto
were unaware of her danger.
Young Howe ran forward and
pushed the girl out of harms
way. Howe, who was deprived
of the power of speech by a bull
let which passed through his
throat while serving in the Phil
ippines, will try to rejoin the
army in New York.

Cameron paid a bet that he lost
on the McGovern-Sullivan fight
yesterday by taking a swim in
the Ohio yesterday afternoon,
with the thermometer lowering
around zero. Dameron swan
seventy-tive feet through the icy
waters and when he reached the
bank his mustache was frozen
stiff and icles hung from his hair.
Dameron made a bet with a fell
low employe that Sullivan would
win and made the proposition
that the loser should take swim
in the river on st. Patrick's day.
AS McGovern landed the big end
of the purse Dameron paid the
bet yesterday according to agree.

Their Calamity Praised by a
Pretoria Correspondent.
METnUEN WIS VERY COOL
British Infantry Cool Compared With the
Panicky Mounted Troops-Men
Encouraged by Methuen.

LONDON, March 19-Describ-
ing the disaster to General Me
thuen, the Pretoria correspondent
of the Standard repeats the de-
tails already given in Lord Kitch-
ener's dispatches, and adds that
General Methuen identified the
BOer advance when it was three
miles distant. The correspon-
dent praises the gallantry of the
Beers, who, he says. charged
needless of the hot fire poured
into their lines, and contrasts the
cool steadiness of the British in
fantry supporting the guns,
whom not even the BOer charge
almost up to the muzzles of their
rifles could shake. with the blind
panic which unnerved and STAN
peded the mounted rear guard.
After placing the conveys in the
kraal IN charge of Major Paris.
continues the correspondent,
General Methuen galloped back
to the guns on the right. He
encouraged his men by voice and
gesture and became CONSPICUOUS
target for Boer marksmen, who
concentrated their fire on him as
he rode from point to point.
When Commandant Golfers un-
masked a couple of fifteen-p pound.
ers aud began shelling the kraal,
that position became hopeless,
and it would have been under the
circumstances nothing short of
madness to look for any favora-
BILE issue. The only means of
preventing unavailing loss OF
life was surrender.
