Beers AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
SAW SECRETARY HAY. THEN CALL
ED on PRESIDENT.

Called on Both in a Private and Not
an OHiciaI Capacity-Mr. Roosevelt
Told Them Plainly That the Cow
eminent Would Not Interfere in
the struggIe-Mr. Hay Carefully
Explained the Neutrality Laws as
to the Shipment of Horses and
other Supplies.
Washington, March 5.-Messrs. VOL
marans and Vessels, the Boer repre-
sentatives who came to the United
States from Europe for the purpose of
comforting with the Secretary of State,
have accomplished their purpose. They
were received by Mr.. Hay at II o'clock
this morning. 1t was distinctly under
stood that the Beers were to be re-
ceived as private citizens and not in an
official capacity. Secretary Hay talked
to them freely with this understanding.
The principal object of the delegates
was to induce the United States gov
eminent to do something to terminate
the present bloody struggle in South
Africa. The Secretary of State heard
them attentively and promised to con-
slider their Representations and to do
whatever he could to ameliorate the
conditions in South Africa. But he
pointed out that the President was the
prime authority in such matters and he
recommended that the Beers see Mr.
Roosevelt and ascertain his views.
matter of complaint by the dele
gates was the shipment of horses,
mules and provisions from the United
States to the British forces in South
Africa. Secretary Hay went over this
subject very carefully with them, cit
ing authorities and presidents, which
he said conclusively established the
lack of authority on the part of the
general government to stop the Amer
lean farmer from shipping his provi-
slons and the stock raiser from SELL
ing his product anywhere in the
world where they could get the best
price. He also said that the govern
ment's attitude in this, as in other
matters connected with the South At
rican war, has been strictly neutral
and that the government has done
nothing to prevent shipments of COM
modities to the Boer forces.
Later in the day Messrs. Wolmarans
and Vessels, accompanied by DR..
Frederick Mueller, of the Orange Free
State, called at the White House. They
We're receivd by President Roosevelt in
the library and remained with him
about fifteen minutes. They called as
private citizens and not in their Of
hclal capacity as Boer representatives
Mr.. Roosevelt listened attentively to
what they had to say and then in
formed them that this government
cannot and will not interfere in the
struggle.

FOUGHT IN THE KIMBALL.

Harry SiIgcrman and Louis Well
house Do the Rough and Tumble
Act.
Atlanta, March 5--Harry Silverman
and Louis We4lhouse, both of whom
are well known in Savannah, engaged
this morning in a rough and tumble
fight in the corridors of the Kimban
House. The eye witnesses, and they
we're numerous, are of the opinion that
Silverman got the better of the bout
Neither of them was seriously injured
Silverman says the affair was
brought on by an altogether personal
matter, and Wellhouse states that it
was due TO business affairs connected
with the firm of Wellhouse & Son, of
which he is a member. Silverman was
standing by the cigar stand in the
Kimball. when Wellhouse walked in
Wellhouse passed near him and Sill
Nerman caught him by the sleeve say

him. Then I'll make you" said Sill
Vermau, and It the same time he be-
san striking Wellhouse with his fists.

WILL WEAR SUITS OF BROWN.
New Rules for Boy Criminals at
state Prison Farm.

Atlanta, March 5.-Youths detained
at the prison farm at Miledgeville will
not wear stripes in future, but are TO
be colthei in suits of brown. This rule
adapted by the Prison Commission was
announced to-day. Not only will be
boy convicts be clothed differently
from those around them, but they will
be taught to read and write. The rule
will be put into effect Immediately,
and it is believed by the officials of
the penitentiary that il will work well.
The idea in making the change Is TO
separate the boys from the men and
TO reform them if possible. 1t is
thought that if they come in contact
with the hardened criminals It would
be difficult matter to impress them
with ideas OF right and wrong.
Speaking Of the new rule Prison
Commissioner Clement Evans, said
this morning: Il think the rule will
work well. l believe it will be a good
thing for the boys, as it will show
them that they are not regular con-
Victs. We are going to try and re-
form all the juvenile prisoners at the
farm, so that when released they will
make good citizens. I think if they
were confined with the men, some of
whom are hardened criminals, they
would be impressed with wrong ideas
and it would be a difficult matter to
control them properly" The uniforms
Of brown which will be worn by the
small boys will be made at the farm,
as is all the other clothing.

SeYell, United States Senator from
family physician, in speaking of the
senator's death this afternoon, said:
HE would have probably lived many
years with diabetes if he had not gone
abroad, but Carlsbad had always
helped him before, and it was there
that he went for relief again. 1t was
there that he contracted the pneu-
monia trouble, and this, with the dia-
betes he already had, resulted in a
complication that medical skill proved
unable to cope with
Thereupon DR.. w. H. Morse, the
American director of the Bureau of
Materia Medica, said
That meets my argument for STU
vance Springs. l published a good
word for them five years ago, and l
continue to maintain that in every
way the water is the equal of Carlsbad
or any other. The Springs are easy of
access, and the psychic influences OF
change of scenery and climate are
wonderful. There are no chill winds to
cause pneumonia, and no malaria. My
advice is to send all patients with kid
ney troubles to Suwanee Springs, and
let Carlsbad take care of itself. Springs

FIRE AT OXFORD.

The "Housc of Seven Gables" Burn
ed to the Ground.
Emory College, oxford. Ca March S.
Oxford was visited by a fire last
night which threatened to prove very
serious for some time. The Griffin
homestead, known to the college men
as 1.-The house of seven gables" one of
the landmarks of the town, was OBJ
served to be on fire about s o'clock, and
as it was very near the business CEN
ter of oxford, it was feared that the
strong wind blowing would cause the
sparks to set fire to the surrounding
buildings. The citizens quickly rallied.
Although several other buildings caught
fire. among them the S. A. F. Club
house. they were extinguished without
serious loss.
The house of seven gables" was a
total loss, there being no insurance.
This makes the second serious fire in
oxford in the year, and it is thought
that 1t will convince the city authorl-
ties of the need of modern fire equip
ment.

of Boston. in his first address, made
an attack on Christian Science in a
vigorous but dignified manner. DR..

TO attack the principles of the socalled
