SINGULAR WAR INCIDENT.
Why Two Beers Deprived a Nurse of
Her Horse and Returned 1t
Safely to Her.

A curious incident befell an army
nursing sister while out riding alone
n the northern Transvaal, close to a
the past year by the English, says the
London Hospital. Two men on horse
back, dressed in what seemed to her
the uniform of our scouts, rode by.
When they had gone little further,
they dismounted, and, taking their
titles in their hands, came up, grasped
the reins of her horse, and asked her
''she would like walk" Surprised
1T the question, she inquired to what
regiment they belonged. Their an
swer made her aware that, though
claiming to be British, they were really
Beers in disguise. The men spoke to
each other in Dutch, and then one
said to her: "We are Beers, and we
want your horse" The sister, greatly
distressed at the thought of losing the
animal, which was borrowed, begged
the men not to take it. They replied
that they were very short of horses,
and required it badly. Expostulations
proved unavailing; she had to give way
with as good grace as possible, made
easy to her by their extremely polite
manner and the gentle way in which
she was lifted from her saddle. They
left her with the promise that the sad
die and bride should be returned.
A few days after letter was brought
by Boer to blockhouse to say that
if the English commandant would send
out beyond the British lines, the sis
ter's horse and property would be re-
stored. He did so, and everything
was found as stated, together with
letter explaining that the two men
had been compelled to take the horse.
as they thought that the sister sus-
pected their nationality, and they
feared she would ride at once to the
nearest blockhouse and report their
whereabouts. They had, therefore in or
Ter to secure their own safety, to choose
between taking her with them be-
yond the blockhouses or the confisca-
ton of her horse, and they chose the
latter as being probably less repug-
nant to the sisters feelings. No doubt
The good treatment their own women
have received at the hands of the Brit
.tsh authorities tends to account for
their friendly and courteous behavior,
but the sister is none the less to be
congratulated upon the result of an
experience that might have been most
unpleasant

TRACEY BOBS UP AGAIN.
The Fugitive Desperate Now in Eastern
Washington, W ell Armed and in
Good Health.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 2.-Harry
Tracey, the fugitive desperate, is
low in eastern Washington, I'M
wounded, in good health, armed with
four guns and 200 rounds of ammuni-
ton, provisioned for five days and
equipped with two horses. Tracey
crossed the Columbia river at five
o'clock Thursday morning and is
now supposed to be headed toward
the Idaho line. Tracey declared that
he wants to hold up bank or rob
an express car. He says that he has
promised to give the sum of $4,000
within one year to the parties who
helped him escape from the Oregon
penitentiary. He is making his way
to the "Hole in the Walr' country in
Wyoming. When there he declares
he will be thief among thieves, and
thinks he will be safe. Tracey spent
Wednesday at ranch of w. A. San
ders, six miles below Wenachee, on
the Columbia river. He crossed the
Columbia at a ferry IS miles below
Wenachee.
The outlaw denied that he had
been wounded and declared he had
gained Is or 20 pounds since escap-
ing from the penitentiary. Two or
three small posses are reported to
have started out from Big Bend
towns to seek Tracey.

RESULTS GRATIFYING.
Judge Advocate General Lemly Sums UD
the First Years Working of
Probation System.

Washington, Aug. Capt. Lemly,
judge advocate general of the navy,
has just summed up in tabular form
the results of the first complete
years working of the probation sys-
tenn inaugurated by him for the
treatment of naval prisoners. The re-
suits are exceedingly gratifying to
the officials of the department, for
they indicate that almost one man
of every two sentenced by court
martial for naval offenses will reform
if given a chance under this sytem.
It is shown that there were 20 men
on probation the 1st of July, 1901.
During the year following 80 sailors
were so placed on probation. Of
these II were Internationally re-
stored to good standing in the serv-
ice. Only four deserted, while five
failed to reform and were required
to serve out their sentences. One
was given an honorable discharge
and three were discharged as I'M
desirable, leaving 20 men on proba-
ton at the beginning of the pres.
ent fiscal year.

GEN. SMITH ARRIVES
island of Samar Was Made Howl.
ing Wilderness by His Orders.
Deeply Affected When Notified That He
Was Relieved from Active Service by
President Roosevelt-Refused
to BE Interviewed.

San Francisco, Aug. 2.-Gen. Jacob
Smith arrived yesterday from Manila
on the transport Thomas. Gen.
Smith positively declined to say any
thing for publication and would not
even allow reporters to approach
him. Through his aide, Lieut.. M. 81.
Shields, Gen. Smith said that he
would not be interviewed as he did
not care to subject himself to further
criticism.
Gen. Smith, tried by court-martial
for having ordered the island of
Samar transformed into bowling
wilderness, was doomed on his arri-
val to learn for the first time that
President Roosevelt had retired him
from active duty. When the Thomas
reached quarantine station Maj. Du-
val, of the transport service, boarded
the ship with his secretary and met
Gen. Smith and Lieut.. Shields at the
door of the generals cabin. A
sealed document was handed to Gen.
Smith. 1t contained the official mott
fication of President Roosevelt's
action and, upon reading it, Gen.
Smith retired, overcome with
emotion.
Gen. Smith, who is wearing civilian
attire, appears exceedingly nervous
and worn. His 62 years are plainly
read in his every action and his init
mate friends fear that he is breaking
down under the severe strain to which
he has been subjected to in recent
months.

VISITED By EARTHQUAKE.
Town of Los Alamos, Cal. Wrecked-Every
Brick Building I'm the Place Destroyed
Badly Damaged.

Los Alamos, Col, Aug. THE
most severe earthquake in the his
tory of this place occurred at 1:20
Thursday morning. 1t is not posi-
ole yet to estimate the damage, but
1T is very heavy. No lives are known
to be lost, though there were many
narrow escapes. Every brick build
ing in the town was destroyed or
badly wrecked. In nearly every
house windows were broken. The
Presbyterian church, a large brick
structure, was RACED to the ground
as was the general store of w. S.
Wickenben, also brick building.
The shock seemed to have a spiral
motion. Goods were hurled from the
shelves of stores and piled in the mid
die of the rooms. Even such heavy
articles as desks were thrown
about. Not chimney is left stand
ing in the town. All brick walls are
badly damaged, but frame structures
generally escaped serious injury. In
the drugstores not single bottle
ed with liquor from broken bottles.
The whole town was aroused and
people fled from their homes to the
,reets in a panic. There have been
several light shocks since July 27
when the first heavy shock occurred.
But that of this morning exceeded
in violence anything yet experienced.
1t lasted 80 seconds and threw people
from their beds. Los Alamos is a
town of about 600 inhabitants in San
ia Barbara county.
The latest advices received at noon
state that the earth continues to
tremble at intervals of about an
hour and a half. The shocks are
followed by loud reports as from
cannon. The Careaga country for
miles around Los Alamos suffered,
but the shocks were not as heavy
as at the latter place.

Peace Re,gns at shenandoah.

Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. "a more
quiet town than Shenandoah is to-
day would be hard to imagine. Peace
reigns everywhere in the region. The
only thing now attracting attention
in this vicinity is the camp of troops
just outside of the town. The sol
diers have gotten into full swing of
camp routine and have settled down
for a period of enjoyable camp life.
Company and regimental drill will
be indulged in every day and target
practice will also be had.

Postponed for a Year.

The Interstate miners scale con-
vention, in session at Pittsburg, has
decided to make a demand on the
operators of the district that the
union be recognized and that a new
scale be agreed upon to take the
place of the one that expires Sep
TENDER 1. Heretofore some of the
companies have refused to recog-
nize the union. The miners decided
to postpone the strike for a year and
will make the best possible agree
ment with the operators for that
time. This action was taken in ac-
cordance with an address by Presi-
dent Reese, of Iowa. who urged the
miners to wait until the anthracite
strike was settled.

COCOANUTS FOR THIRST.
A Northern Mans Experience in Sc
Vincent Convinced Him of
Their Value.

During his recent visit to the vol
cano stricken islands of the West In
dies a Tribune reporter was told that
the water from the cocoanut fresh
from the tree is the best thirst quench-
er in the tropics. During an all day
ride over the dusty road from Kings
ton to Georgetown, ST. Vincent, the re-
porter had a chance to test the truth
of this statement, says the New York
Tribune.
For various reasons it was deemed
unwise to drink the ordinary water,
and when beyond the reach of dis
titled water from the Dixie, thirst be-
came an interesting fellow traveller
The heat was awful, and volcanic ashes
in the air parched the throat and made
life almost uncomfortable. Sucking green
lines was failure, wine was too heat
ing, and soda and other soft drinks
only aggravated thirst. Eight miles
out of Georgetown stop was made
at small plantation, where several
trees bore heavy burden of yellow
ing cocoanuts. SiXpence sent black
boy to the top of tree, and after he
had scared a miscellaneous collection
of lizards, chameleons, scorpions and
spiders out of the bunch of nuts, he
twisted off six and threw them down.
Our driver chopped off the end of each
nut with a machete and we squeezed
the juice of green lime into the wa
ter within. The drink was warm, but
palatable and satisfying.
The party had gone without lunch
con, and after drinking the water the
nut was laid open with blow of the
machete and the meat was eaten, which
was like the white of a soft-boiled egg
The members of the party were
neither hungry nor thirsty for the re-
mainder of the journey, and felt con
tent-a difficult matter for a New
Yorker, 500 miles south of the Tropic
of Cancer, at the end of May.

Syrian Asphalt.

Asphalt is found in the provinces of
Syria on the banks of the Dead sea
floating on the surface of its waters.
Through the action of earthquakes the
asphalt has been torn from the bottom
Of the sea and driven toward the
shores, especially to the east. The mar
ratives of the Greek and Roman his.
torian to the effect that asphalt az
small islands was upheld by the salt
water and driven over TIE surface of
the sea are without doubt true. The
asphalt, and generally the oriental OF
Egyptian, is pure and expensive, and
used principally in the manufacture Of
certain kind of varnish, but for gen.
eral purposes, owing to its brittleness
as well, is useless in the asphalt in
dustry.-American Asphalt Journal.
