Autos IN DEMAND.
American Make is Preferred by Brit
ish IN South Africa.

New York April 1.-American auto
mobiles, motors and motor bicycles are
said to be in demand by the engineer
corps of the British army for use in the
South African campaign. Several man
ufacturers in this country have been re-
quested to send specifications and
prices of vehicles and motors at once
to a captain of engineers whose corps is
now stationed at Pretoria.
This Information came in the shape Of
q letter to the Automobile club of Amer
ia from Captain r. S. Walker of the
Royal Engineers, dated at Pretoria
January 10. It asked the clubs assist
ance in obtaining from American man
ufaotuFers specifications and prices Of
light automobiles, steam and gasoline
motors. and motor bicycles. Captain
Walker intirnated that his commander
in-chief viii extend the use of motor
vehicles in the present campaign against
the Beers.
Captain Walker gave as his reason for
his application that he believes Ameri-
can road conditions correspond more
closely with those in South Africa than
do those in England. and from his
knowledge Of American motor machines
he believes they are best suited to the
uses to which it is designed to put them.
The motor vehicles viii be used
primarily for carrying searchlights in
the field. but also are to be put to tests
for other military purposes.

didn't catch the noon train, and it was
about o'clock when 1 got there. The
wedding was to be in the afternoon,
and Of course I was late But that
didn't cut much ice with the girl She
just married another man, and they
were having a high old time when
got there. Well, it was pretty tough
on me to walk in there and find another
man married to my girl.
There were a few guests there, and
among them Efi1e Johnson, whom
used to know pretty well. I told her
how it was. and she saw it the same
way. And it was. not much trouble to
get a license and less to get a preacher,
and the whole thing was over in a lit
tie while, and I'm happy. That's all
there is to it."

PURE FOOD CAMPAIGN.
It Has a Field Day in the New York
Court of Special Sessions.

New York. April In its campaign
for pure food the board of health has
had a field day in the court Of special
sessions
Members of the board brought out the
fact that the produce dealers on the
East side are violating many laws OF
health and that the chief Offenders are
those who sell polluted milk Seventeen
offenders were brought before the bar
on this charge and fined from SIS to
$50.
It was brought to the attention of the
court that since the passage of the law
prohibiting the use of boracic acid for
the preservation of milk the use of for
maldehyde has become extremely con-
mon and that it is difficult in the
crowded districts to get other than "em-
balmed milk
There were many cases of persons
charged with selling spoiled fish and
decayed vegetables. All We're heavily
sentenced.

HARD TINES AT NOME.
Many Natives Are Without Food or
Clothing.

Nome Jan II. via Seattle, Wash,
April 1.-R. T. Chestnut. under date of
January Q, writes concerning the des-
titution prevailing at the native vii
lage just west of Cape Nome He says
that many natives, mostly women and
little children, are absolutely destitute.
They are without food or clothing
1t is pitiful to see such distress"
writes Mr.. Chestnut. The miners have
furnished these poor natives meal after
meal. and have given them provisions
to carry back to their huts. The limit
of their charity has about been reached
and it is suggested that government
officials either civil or military, or both,
should lend a helping hand"
Y. H. Francis, who reached Nome
Monday evening from Cape Nome, says
that the condition OF the natives at that
place has not been exaggerated They
have not been able to catch their usual
supply Of fish for some reason or other.
Mr. Francis says the white people at
Cape Nome have done what they could,
but they are not able to meet the
emergency.

WIRELESS WAR.
It is Now About to Be Carried Into
the Courts.

New York April War between
wireless telegraph companies continues
at merry pace, says a Berlin dispatch
to the Herald.
Siemens and Ha1ske, owners of the
Braun wireless system, have, it is sta
ted, brought an action against the Sla-
by-Arco people for an alleged infringe
ment of patent and are said to be pre-
pairing to bring a similar complaint in
England against the Marconi company.
DR.. Braun, of Strasburg claims that
both inventors copied his closed circuit
oscillation method after he had protect
ed himself with patents.
Hitherto the wireless rivals have been
content to fight one another by inter-
fering with n essages and refusing TO
receive dispatches sent from stations or
ships provided with a rival apparatus.
