London, April 1s.-Dr. Hans Sauer,
a loyalist Afrikander, speaking at
Bradford last night, was not opti-
mistic concerning the peace negotia-

DR.PRICE'S
c'y''nB Baking Powder

The difference of cost between good
and poor baking powder would not
amount for family's supply to one dol
lar year. The poor powder would
cause doctors bills many times this.
DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder is
the most economical in the end, because
it goes further in leavening and insures
perfect, wholesome food.
Used always in making the biscuit
and cake it saves both health and money.
Made from pure, grape cream of tartar,
most healthful Of fruit acids.

NorE.-You cannot, Il you value good
health, afford to use cheap, low-grade
baking powders. They are mostly, in
spite Of the pure food laws, made from
alum, which endangers the health. AN
physicians will tell you that such pow.
ders in food are injurious.

PEACE CONFERENCE.
The Terms Practically Agreed Up
on at Pretoria.
THE BRITISH DECISION ACCEPTED.


London, April 1s.-The Daily Mail
claims to have authority to announce
that bases of peace have been prac-
ticaly agreed upon at Pretoria, but
says that some little time will elapse
before the details of the plan can be
perfected. The paper adds that upon
finding that the British government
refused, on Wednesday, to modify its
terms with regard to amnesty, ban
ishment and responsible govern
ment, the Boer delegates met again
ON Thursday. The British decision,
practically leaving them the alterna-
tive of accepting the British terms
or breaking up the conference, was
then communicated to them and the
delegates proved more reasonable.
When Lord Miner, the British high
commissioner in South Africa, prom
Ised the delegates one or two seats
on the executive council, subject to
the approval Of the government and
pending the restoration of a re-
sponsible government, they practical
|y agreed to accept the British terms.
Some details, continues the Daily
Mail, which are not likely to create
difficulty, still remain to be settled.
Lord Miner has summoned from
johannesburg an Australian expert
who is to assist in estimating the
cost Of rebuilding and restocking the
Boer farms. The delegates, concludes
lhe paper, have so far acted quite

OCEAN CITY. Md. July 12.-Nothing
could he more aliuring than the be-
navior Of Ocean City during this past
week. While so many ill-tempered
storms have been venting their fury upon
other points OF the compass. she has
been smiling serenely, with 'coquettisn
variations of warmth and coolness to
break total evenness OF mood. Sea
breezes and land breezes have been al
ternating. thus permitting the girls to
don opposite extremes of toilette.
II few venturesome mosquitoes
have followed IN the wake of the whiIs
from shore their visitation has taught
more earnestly to appreciate their exit
when active sea zephyrs drove them to
their inland quarters. Yesterday
swarm OF fieTce-looking mosquito hawks
invaded the privacy OF every hotel and
cottage and busted themselves so indus
triously during the day that upon de-
parture they bore a most sleek and
plump appearance. The seashore world
/ is fast awakiDg to the realization that
consistent cultivation of these uniovely
/ insects will do away with many critical
Disbursements, and the expenditure OF
much breath supply and ill-chosen Eng
ilish. Ocean City is not going to neglect
her own comfort.
! The Fourth of July in the seaside vii
lage was an entirely successful day. the
number OF excursionists. between 1900
and 5000, exceeding that OF any previous
Fourth Flags were strung up gaily,
lfire-crackers were unpacked and a gem
eral air OF jollity prevailed. The beach
front at night was really a splendid, 4
transient. patriotic ovation. The fruit
of hard labor and hours OF time went
sizzling into the placid. star spangled
sky. and the air was spIotched with
many y-colored lights. The elders all ad-
mired and the children were In an ecs-
tasy.
The orchestra engaged by the Atlantic
management is much superior to that
of any previous season. It's different
members having been well received dur
ing the Washington winter in solo work
and as n consequence much OF the day
time dancing will be omitted to make
way for a renaissance of higher class
concerts. AS soon as improvements arc
completed in the Atlantic cafe, an ex-
ceilent series of concerts will be given,
from which the children are to be cx-
cluded.
The Atlantic management has also In
troduced a novel feature in the imDorta-
ton of "the Razarfs." a pair of expert
trlcksters. who are scheduled to give
daily matinee and evening performances
in the Atlantic casino "The Razarfs'
