HIs FOURTEENTH WIFE.

Nicholas Vann, who is looking for his
fourteenth wife, is so bothered by lonely
women who want to marry him on the

Of wild animals for Dan Rice, the circus

DR.. Vann was attired as usual In a silk
tile and frock coat today as he stood
in the midst of his preparations to repel
invaders. He is a little man, wiry and
nervous, but very nimble despite his 81
years. His skin is tanned and darkened
by the suns of many summers. His ar
mament consists of many deadly weap-
ons, which he used in his career as a
hunter. The gum boots are for wading
through the mud. The doctor thinks his
determined attitude will scare away all
the old girls.

lovely women, and also are undoubtedly

ONCE MORE THE ENEMY.

The efforts of a certain class of
neutrality-suspicious. to do Home Rule
politics now takes the form of a pro-
posal to unite on a plan of city and
county government. The Advertiser,
expresses the hope that every man who
does not care to have his taxes trebled
and every man who does not care to
have such gang as constitute the
legislature put over him In a closely
administrative way. will fight tooth
and nall against any change from the
present system OF Territorial rule.
The whole scheme Is one to give Of
ice and patronage to the aboriginal
party here-a party which hates Amer
leans and white men; which knows
nothing OF government save as II may
be used to plunder taxpayers. a party
which 1ustifies such a system OF rob

upset the monarchy and made annex

DEPORTATION FOR BOERS.

thus distributing the population where
II will be under surveillance and where,
In course of time, its racial Identity

Such a course serious as 1t seems.
would be more merciful than the de-
tention camps where the death rate
Is such as would appal a Duke of A1va.
It's most impressive effect would be
upon the fathers. husbands and broth
ers In the field. Once let them under
stand that their families have been
given small farms on the other side of
the world. where they are at liberty to
join them at public expense, and it
would take more fortitude than even
they possess to induce them to keep up
the running fight The cost OF such a
vast enterprise, reminiscent of Acadia.
would be less than that of maintain
ing an army of 100000 men to guard
threatened points and chase elusive
guerillas.
A distribution Of the Beers among
distant British colonies would be pro-
ductlve of good TO all concerned. The
Beers of New Amsterdam. when left
to themselves, did not make much
progress; but when overrun and finally
crossed with the Anglo-Saxon strain
they produced Vanderbilts and Roose-
velts and gave character to the Middle
State civilization of America. 1t would
be the same way, we think, with Boer
populations scattered through Canada
and Australia AS to the future of
South Africa with the Boer nation
eliminated, the place would become
peaceful, the vacant lands would be
taken up by English, German and Ir-
ish immigrants and In the end a Do
uninion of South Africa would present
an imperial front to the world as a
fortress OF Anglo-Saxon ideas.
