"we want in this country" said the colonial secretary. ito forget and for give, because if you think, as you we'll may, that you have something to for give we also think we have great deal to forgive. But we want to put all that on one side. The war is over. We each fought as well as we knew how, and now there is peace. All we want is to recognize you as fellow subjects with ourselves, working as we shall work for the prosperity and liberty of South Africa. How great that liberty is, and how soon complete self government will be extended to South Africa depends entirely on the rapidity with which the old animosities die out"

As they wanted South Africa to be happy abiding place for all, he felt sure that if the burghers met the British halfway they would find them quite as good friends in the future as they had been loyal enemies in the past.

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.

Had Much of Local Interest Attached
 to It-The Circumstances.
 When the reports of the accidental shooting of Major Smiley in the Adiron- dacks were printed broadcast in the pa- pers one week ago very few people knew that the story had even the slight est local interest.
 It now transpires that Major Smiley and his friend, Judge Story, were stop ping at the Blue Mt Lake house, which is conducted by Mrs. Wealthy s. Foote of New Haven. During the stay of many New Haven people at the Blue Mt. Lake house this season they had the pleasure of meeting, personally, both Major Smiley and Judge Story. In a very interesting account of the shoot ing Mrs. Foote states that Major Smiley and Judge Story went out in boats for still hunt last Wednesday night. MT. Smiley was accompanied by a guide named John Blanchard, while MT. Story had as his guide Michael Flory. They kept quite a distance apart on the lake and maintained sharp lookout for deer. Suddenly the judges guide, Mich ael Flory, thought he saw a deer and he told Judge Story to shoot quickly or he would lose the game. He fired and the shot entered Major Smiley, who had been mistaken in the darkness for a deer. With the exclamation, T am shot," the major fell backward dead. The accident created the greatest grief among those stopping in that vicinity, as the parties to the affair were very highly esteemed and respected.

 The fire was started by a gasoline stove in the kitchen. Mrs. BOve was at work with the stove and it suddenly exploded. She grabbed up her two-and- half-mOnths-old child and, followed by her sister rushed down the stairs. She was completely overcome by fright and ran screaming to the corner of George and Church streets, where she sat down on the sidewalk in front of CahilTs tea store and continued to scream. She was taken to her husbands barber shop.
 Policeman Cohee rang an alarm from box 25. at the First National bank
 building He rushed back and went upstairs finding an unknown man un- conscious on the floor of one of the front rooms He carried him down and
 went back to seek for others, but could
 find none and was driven back by the choking smoke.
