O AT THE BRITISH EMBASSY.
Satisfaction Felt Mt the Close OF the
Long Struggle.

Washington, June 2.-The officials
of the British embassy here share the
iubilant feeling existing in London
over the termination of the war in
South Africa. They view with much
satisfaction the close of the long
struggle.
Official notice of the signing of the
terms of surrender came to Mr.
Raikes, the British charge here, in a
cablegram from the foreign office. 1t
was very brief and was in accord
with the statements contained in the
press dispatches. 1t probably will be
communicated formally to the United
States government to-day.
Nothing official has reached the de
partment on the subject from Ambas'
sador Choate, at London, or from any
other source. President Roosevelt
was furnished a copy of the
press dispatch giving the news
of the signing of the surrender terms
The impression prevails in official
circles that the terms of surrender
named by the British in their nego'
tiations with the Beers have beer
very liberal in character, perhaps
from the double desire to bring the
war to a close and to have this happy
event formally proclaimed before the
coronation of King Edward in June.
From a commercial point of view
the cessation of hostilities will re
suit beneficially to American exports
to South Africa, the reports ISSUED
from time to time by the foreign
commerce bureau of the state de
partment showing that they hav.
suffered considerably since the be
ginning of the war two years ago.

FIERCE DUEL
Between Cat and an EagIe-A
Snake Fight with a Remark
able Finale.

Engineer Gardner has big black cat,
named Bob which is his constant COM
paniOn on his engine Winter finds the
cat snuggled up uPon the cushions of the
cab, and the running board is his airing
quarters. Bob is a prime favorite with the
men all along the division.
For a week a big American eagle has
been seen in the bend of the road near the
state line. and the trainmen have tried
firing shots at him, without bringing him
down When Bob has been taking his air
ing upon the running board the big eagle
has eyed him narrowly and greeted him
with fierce screams and tapping of his
wings.
As the day express was dashing around
the curve on Sunday morning Bob was on
the running board, enjoying the sunlight.
Quick as a fash the eagle dashed down
ward from big hemlock and seized the
cat, when a terrific battle ensued.
Bob retreated to the pilot and put up
gallant defense with teeth and nails and
for three minutes honors were easy, but
the bird got a neck hold on the cat, and in
moment more would have been in the air
but for the opportune arrival of the fire.
man, who, armed with an iron bar, attacked
the eagle, which dropped the cat and tried
to defend itself against the man.
The birds second battle was brief for
two blows from the iron placed it h0rS de

dead eagle to the cab Bob followed, licking
his lacerations and purring in triumph. He
will probably hereafter ride inside the cab.

Near the Canauacta creek one day in
October a water snake met a black snake.
The reptiles did not Immediately clinch,
but hissed iercely and circled around each
other as If seeking for an opening The
black snake pressed matters and in a few
seconds succeeded in getting the tail of his
opponent in his mouth, aud to preclude all
possibility of an escape, began to eat
toward the head.
This was exactly what the water snake
wanted. 1t started on a straight line for
the stream, and his consumer following
him, and dining upon him simultaneously,
was, of course, obliged to travel a little
faster in the same direction. The water
snake was a rapid mover and the black
snake a quick eater, and for a short time
It seemed to be doubtful whether one rep
tile or two would be visible when the
stream was gained.
About half Of the leading snake had been
devoured, aud the edge of the water was
only a few feet away when the black
snake suddenly realized that a shabby trick
was being played upon him at meal time
He hastily attempted to disgorge his re.
past, but the effort was made too late. Not
more more than five inches of water snake
had been yielded up when both reptiles
plunged into the stream and sank at once.
A hundred bubbles rose, and the only
spectator Of the contest is inclined to be-
lieVe that the black snakes life loated to
the surface in one Of them.

here. He was chosen alderman in
1850 and again in 1881. Then. after
having assisted in redistricting the
city so that he was deprived of office.
he was elected to two more successive
terms and served with distinction.
He was deputy collector of internal
revenue from 1885 to 1889 and his
work in that office was of such Il
class as TO win the commendation of
his superiors, who recognized in him
one of the best revenue officers in
the state. Later he held the Office of
deputy assessor.
The people have realized for some
time the desirability of putting
practical business man, or at least
competent accountant, as Mr.. Hen
rvs training has made him, into the
office of county treasurer. In the Sc
lection of city treasurer the quail
fications of candidates are always
carefully considered by both parties.
But so far as the republican party is
concerned the nominations for coun-
ty treasurer usually appear to be
made either to pay political debt or
to perfect the geographical equation
Of the ticket.
Strong Candidate.
Mr. Henry is undoubtedly one of
the strongest and best qualified men
that has been put up for the office OF
county treasurer since John Schafer,
Of Port Byron. who was conceded to
have been a model official, was elect
ed by the democrats. If elected AIR.
Henry viii bring to the duties of the
office the same comprehensive knowl-
edge of accounts and give to it the
same painstaking care that have con
tributed to his efficiency in other
places. Moreover, he will devote to
the office his entire personal atten-
ton, a thing that experience has
shown is necessary to a proper dis
charge of the duties involved.

Or at Least Everyone Who Suffers From
! Catarrh.
Catarrh i'm its various forms is ;
national disease, and the fact thai
nearly everybody suffers from i
more or less leads many to neglect Its
! proper treatment.
| Nasal catarrh is q common cause oi
headaches. destroys sense of smell
and if neglected reaches the throat
causing impairment and sometime
total loss of voice. Bronchial catarrl
leads easily to consumption. Catarrs
of stomach and liver are very serious
and obstinate troubles. while II is
now generally admitted that catarrh
| is the most common of all causes al
deafness.
All the more serious forms of ca
tarrh begin with nasal catarrh, the
local symptoms being profuse dis
charge, stoppage of nostrils irri;a-
ton and frequent clearing of the
throat, sneezing, coughing and gag
ging.
The old style of treatment with
douches, inhalers. sprays, salves, etc
simply gives temporary relief, and cv-
eryone who has used any of them
knows how useless they are and their
Inconvenience is such that very few
have the time or patience to con
tinue their use.
A radical cure of catarrh can only
be obtained from a treatment which
removes the catarrhal faint from the
blood, because no one will now dis
pute that catarrh is n constitutional
II I
tions can have no effect except tn
temporarily relieve local symptoms.
\ new remedy which has been re-
markably successful in curing ca
tarrh is a pleasant tasting tablet
which is taken internally and acts
upon the blood and mucous mem
branes.
1t is composed of antiseptic rem
edies like red gum, blood root and
similar cleansing specifies which
eliminate the catarrhal poison from
the system.
The tablets being pleasant to the
taste are dissolved in the mouth and
thus reach the throat, trachae and
finally the stomach and entire ali
mentary canal. They are sold by
druggists everywhere under the name
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
If desired. when there is much
stoppase of the nose, the tablet may
be dissolved in warm water and used
as douche in addition to internal
use, but douche is not at all neces-
sary. \ few dissolved in the mouth
daily will be sufficient. DIR. Ainslee
says: THE regular daily use of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets taken inter
naIIy will cure the whole catarrhal
trouble without resorting to the i'm
convenience of douche or an in
haler."
They seem to give healthy tone
to the whole mucous membrane and
it is really remarkable how soon they
will clear the head and throat of the
unnatural and poisonous catarrhal
secretion.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is nm
doubleday the safest, most palatable
and certainly the most efficient and
convenient remedy for any form of
catarrh.
