LOSSES WERE HEAVY.
Defent by Boers- at zeefontcin
Crushing Blow TO prltisb-
story of Night Attack.


London, Dec. 3O.-The war office
has issued a list of the British casu-
alties at Zeefontein December "a,
when Col. Firman's camp, consisting
of three companies of yeomanry and
two guns, was successfully rushed by
a Boer force under the command of
Gen. De Wet. The length of the list
demonstrates the entire success of
De Vets attack. Six officers and so
men were killed, eight officers were
wounded and four are missing. 1t
is presumed the missing officers were
taken along with. the captured guns.
The numbers of the noncommissioned
officers and men wounded and miss
ing have not been received, but the
aggregate promises to make the Zee
fontein affair a memorable disaster
to the British. simultaneously with
the above the war Office gave out n
dispatch from Lord Kitchener chron-
| icling minor success of he South
African constabulary, who raided
Bothaville and captured 36 Beers.
In a subsequent message Lord
Kitchener sends a stirring account Of
the fighting at Zeefontein, showing
that the wounded and prisoners must
| number about $50. He says that in
the absence of Col Frman, Maj Will
| liams. who was killed, was in com
mand. The column was encamped on
the slope of kopie, the southern
side of which was precipitous. Out
posts held the edge of the precipice.
The northern slope on which the
camp was pitched was gentle. The
outposts were we'll pushed out and the
position. naturally strong, had been
intrenched. 1t was moonlight

The Beers appear to have climbed
the prccipice, and, mastering near
the top. at two a. m.. suddenly at
tackled the picket on the summit. Be-
fore the men could get clear of their
tents the Beers swooped through
them, shooting the soldiers down as
they came out.
Most of the British officers were
shot while trying to stem the rush
Lieut.. Harwich himself opened fire
with the ''pompoms" and was shot
through the heart while firing. Lieut.
Watney was killed while leading a
charge. There was no panic, and all
engaged did their best. but once the
picket was overwhelmed the superior
force of the Beers had all the advan-
tage. \ 15-pounder, after two rounds

VI. Present N Testimonial TO Admiral

ScbIey.
Washington, Dec. 31.-The Mary
land councils of the Junior Order of
United American Mechanics last
night presented to Rear Admiral
Schley a mag'picent medal studded
with diamonds as an evidence OF
their personal esteem and adnrfra-
tian of his services to the country.
The presentation took place in Ad-
miral Schley's apartments in TINS
city, and was made by n committee
from the councils which came over
from Baltimore on an afternoon
train.
Rev. c. p. Wyatt, acting as spokes-
man of the committee, referred to
Admiral Schiey's participation in the
battle of Santiago and his conduct
following it, and added that his un-
selhshness mad !endeared him to the
hearts of the American people.
Referring to the court of inquiry,
DIR. Wyatt said the people had sym
pathized with the admiral in the or
deal through which he had passed,
and had substituted the minority re-
port for that OF the majority because
they weighed opinions rather than
counted them. "Time,' he added.
"will but increase the appreciation of
your services and the brilliancy OF
your fame"
Admiral Schley sincerely thanked
the committee, and added: THE
services which this beautiful emblem
is intended to commemorate were
those which every loyal lover of home
and country will gladly perform for
his people and for their prestige

SATURDAY, OCTOBER IS.
MS MOTHER DIDN'T CARE.

A little waif was arrested in New
York the other day, and when he
faced the judge, he told his story.
His mother didn't care for him and
he became a child of the street.
AND" he said, when yer mother
don't care fer yer, yer amt got no
mother"
There's q sermon.
Its diction is uncouth, but the ut.
terance is sincere and by one-God
pity the waif-who knows.
"If yer mother don't care fer yer,
yer amt got no mother"
There is always chance for the
boy whose mother cares. But the
tiny acorn of a man which the
wheel of passing cart may crush,
how shall it push aside the leaves
and sprout and grow into an oakl
Every boy is mostly animal. The
old theologians said man has fal.
len. The new theologians say he
has come upward from a brute.
And the marks of his ancestry
cleave to him, especially in youth.
1t is only the mothers that make it
possible for healthy boy to
"Move upward, working out the
beast, and let the ape and tiger die"
And if his mother fail him, hell
has the advantage of heaven.
When Madam De Stael asked Ma.
poleon what was the greatest need
of France he promptly replied:
"Mothers"
But eff yer mother don't care fer
yer, yer amt got any mother"
Poor little outcast.
Your sermon goes direct to the
root of most of tie sin in this
world.-World.

The corn crop this year is simply
immense-many say the best ever
raised in this section. The corn is
free from worm duet this year, too.
But the grain is drying very SLOW
ly, and this is going to make buy
ing a little late. New corn can not
be shipped unless it is pretty dry,
because it heats too much. Two or
three good hard frosts and few
days of bright sunshine will put
the grain in shape for market.
