Natal of Dutch parents about thirty

General Jacob Hendrlck Delarey, or
De la Rey, Is the oldest of the trio,
being about fifty-four or iifty-ive, and,
like Botha, Is a great favorite with the
Beers who served as soldiers Delarey
comes OF mingled Dutch and Huguenot
stock and Is as remarkable as Botha for
his personal appearance. being a big
six footer. with fine, dark eyes, Duke
OF Wellington nose and large brown
beard He is, In fact, the typical Boer
IN personal appearance and has all the
great fighting qualities which enabled
his countrymen TO make such stand
so long a time against overwhelming
numbers. Born Of fighting family, he
came rightly by HIS genius for war and
command, and he has not only the cred

but also for the change Of strategy
from open, organized resistance to the
guerrilla tactics 40 successfully pursued
by himself and De Wet He has to his
credit several minor battles, but his
greatest achievement was the capture
of Major General Methuen and the
practical destruction Of his command

Delarey is known as the "slent man, "

DE Wet. who was the greatest guerrilla
general the Beers had ON their side and
perhaps as many have Observed the
greatest the world Of modern times has

British incendiaries; but now they are

finding himself with what he considered
a winning hand, he after some hesita-
ton reached down into his pocket for
his wallet. Just at this moment quiet

Having warned the passengers and

Ing but approval, but when he branched
out north, east and west. as in his pur-
chase Of the Denver and Rio Grande
lines and more recently the Wheeling
and Lake Erie and the Western Mary
land, some Of them began to complain,
the protests increasing in volume when
II came out not long ago that IN. o.
P.' and Chicago. Milwaukee and st.
Paul railway had entered into a close
traffic agreement, which is only another
term for union of interests. BY an
other agreement with the Southern and
Central Pacific an outlet was obtained
at San Francisco and as the Gould
lines already controlled entrances into
Mexico and to the gulf at Galveston, II
needed only an Atlantic terminal to
make II complete as transcontinental
system. BY means II the Wabash sys-
tenn the Goulds extended their lines as
far east as Toledo, With traffic ar
rangement TO Buffalo.
Their first objective in the new de-
velopment was Pittsburg. which has
been reached via the Wabash over the
rails of the newly acquired Wheeling
and Lake Erie. The Goulds are credit
ed with having devoted So, 1000 900 10 the
Plttsburg terminal alone, including
among their improvements a million
dollar bridge over the Monongahela.
From Pittsburg they planned to move
still further eastward to connect with
the Western Maryland. which Mr..
Gould recently obtained by mastery
coup and the expenditure OF millions.
Surveyors are now in the field seeking
the best route between Pittsburg and
Baltimore, and II seems matter only
of the near future when the expanding
Missouri Pacific system shall have its
own rails laid from the Rocky noun
tans and Mexico to tidewater on the
Atlantic coast.

The Gould operations meanwhile at
tracted the attention OF competing lines,
notably Of the powerful Pennsylvania
system. which owns and controls a lit
tie world Of its own and includes as
many miles Of rails in its combinations
as its rival, the IN. o. p" Besides this,
II has traffic alliance with the Wander
bits by which a virtual monopoly is
maintained along their lines between
the Atlantic slope and the Mississippi
river. The Pennsylvania Is also cred
tied with control of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn, thus securing direct connection
with the Pacific coast.
Anyway, Its competitive instincts
were aroused. and war was declared as
soon as the Gould intentions became
evident. Opposition was made mani
fest in variety Of ways. but chiefly
through the Baltimore and Ohio sys-
TEN, controlled by the 'Pennsy," which
had traffic agreement with the West
ern Maryland. A practical ignoring of
this agreement followed hard upon the
nonrenewal of the contract between the
Pennsylvania and the Goulds' Western
Union Telegraph company, which has
been superseded by the Postal, so far as
the eastern lines OF the Pennsylvania
extend. But the Goulds went right on,
regardless Of the threats that yet more
valuable franchises would be taken
from them, and the upshot of the mat
ter Ia a prospect of as pretty fight
between two powerful forces IN the
American railway world as the age has
ever seen,
Now the Pennsylvania is reaching out
for new fields for development, having

are many indications that war Is on
between at least two Of the vast rail-
way systems that traverse the conti-
nent. These are the Gould and the
Pennsylvania systems, between them
controlling nearly $1,000 miles of rail-

A SINGULAR CUSTOM.

The Kurds have very curious and
somewhat dangerous marriage custom
which one would think would be more
honored In the breach than in the OBJ
servance. The husband. surrounded by
a bodyguard Of twenty or thirty young
men, carries his wife home on his back
in a scarlet cloth and Is desperately as
saulted the whole way by number OF
girls. Sticks and stones are hurled at
the bridegroom, who can hardly be
considered very happy man, for the
irate amazons often intlict on him
marks which he carries TO the grave.
1t may be that among the lady pursu-
ers are some Of the bridegroom's for
mer names who turn the mock at
tack into downright earnest TO avenge
sighted love.
