March came in like lamb, true enough, but last nights renewed antics of Old Boreas, and yesterdays rain promptly followed Saturdays bright foretaste of spring, and if the old saw holds true March is destined to go out like lion. In recent years it has been commonly remarked that winters sway in New England was gradually but surely becoming less rigorous, but the past few months have not well support ed this theory. At the present time the whole country seems to be more or less flooded with water Reports have been coming in thick and fast of floods here, floods there floods everywhere. and even our staid, quiet and conservative old green has been so inundated that the remarkable spectacle of a boy with canoe upon the waste of waters on the lower green last Saturday amazed some of our oldest inhabitants There has been an abundance of weather in this country during the past winter, and especially since the 18th of Jan uary up to the present time its variety has amply vindicated Mark Twain's al- legations on the subject From Green land to Atlanta, Ga, there has been sleighing in that period and from Nome to Los Angeles there has been snow. The storm which carried the tempera- ture in Southern California down near the freezing point gave that country snow. sleet and hail, and in single day spread snow and hail all over New Mexico, and Southern California. Ihe Rocky mountains have had variety Of blizzards and our own recent snow storm was furious enough and abun- dant enough to meet any long felt want on that subject that may have been entertained hereabouts. Now floods are either threatening havoc or creating havoc at many points over wide stretch of country and number Of human beings have perished in conse- ouence thereof. Great gales and icy storms have swept old ocean in style appalling to the stoutest sailors hearts, and many a gallant ship and gallant sailor has perished. Appalling conf1a- grations, famed to fury by gales; tre- mendous storms, and now tremendous floods have made the winter of 1901 and 02 memorable. Let us hope that win ter will not finger long in the lap Of spring.

partnerships in New York city was ter minated Saturday when the wholesale grocery firm of Smith X Sills was dis solved. It was remarkable because or the fact that in all the thirty odd years of its existence there have been no partnership papers of any description, there being simply 8 mutual agree ment. This mutual agreemnt was not only peculiar to the firm itself, but even extended in a measure to the prl- vate interests of both MT. Smith and MT. Stills, as is illustrated by the fact that for years they have both owned mutually the same stable and livery instead of maintaining separate coaches and horses.

GREAT AND GLORiO

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw in his first speech of national interest since he became a member of the Cabinet shows that he fully grasps the fact that thls is a great nation and he very appro- priately lets the American eagle nap it's wings. He also evidences that he is master of the poetry of figures when he speaks of the vast commerce and industries of the great West both in their sectional importance and their relation to the prosperity of the coun- try as a whole. He grows eloquent as he speaks of the immense volume of traffic transported over our great lakes and transcontinental railways with "a picturesque appreciation of the potency of these highways of transportation in binding together the vast area of the

spring,

In view of the recent important Brit Boers fast fading power of resistance to their foe and the hopelessness of their struggle, the end of the unequal contest seems now not distant, Added to this the discretion given to Lord Miner and Lord Kitchener to modify the conditions of surrender may result in the submission of leaders and burg hers whom the September proclamation would have kept in the field. More lenient terms now would not, in view of recent British successes, have the appearance of weakness which former ly nullified their effect, as it must be plain to the most irreconcilable Beers that the process of attrition now going on will result almost in the'r extermin- ation On this point the New York Commercial Advertiser remarks: That the influence of King Edward, in view of his approaching coronation, may have been exerted to modify the terms of unconditional surrender is generally taken for granted, and grace to an en- emy nearly vanquished would in this case, have a beneficial effect upon the scheme of reconstruction, That any scheme prepared will deal most liberal- lv with the Boers, provided even moderately conciliatory temper E man ifested by the latter, is foregone con cluson.
 The Boers have won imperishable fame for bravery and valor, for a heroic fight against great odds. Their laurels are fairly won, and now it remains to be seen whether they will yield to their condueror on terms neither degrading nor humiliating, or fight on to the bit ter and inevitable end.

THE FASHION IN SLEEVES.

The most conspicuous feature of fashion at the present time is sleeves. Of course the sleeve close over the shoulders and full at the wrists is the most modish, but it is so unbecoming to such a large proportion of women that the dressmakers are forced to pro vide number of notifications which are quite as fashionable as the original model. The blouse bodice Is as popu- lar as ever, and deep collar effect seems the most desirable trimming
 With such a great variety in sleeves no bodice need fail in originality. Elm broidered crepe frocks are worn for both day and evening, White is tbe most fashiona ble, with the embroidery broidered white crepe gown is built With the princess skirt, pointed bodice and attached Nrurce There 's lace bod ice. which is worn under the boero jacket of the crepe, and a deep-shirred belt of emerald green velvet completes the costume. Entire lace gowns are as fashionable as they were earlier in the season. Entire gowns of Irish crochet cost anywhere from $1,000 to SLIGO but very good limitations can be had tor S20O or $500. Whatever the lace gown may be, expensive or inexpensive, it is a good investment, for it is useful all the year round. A beautiful model Of white cloth worn at an afternoon re- ception recently was made with a blouse bodice and skirt laid in clus- ter of small box plaits in the back The front of the blouse and the skirt were trimmed with a wide panel made of

 l scout along White River, l raise those pimples known as goose And make the otter shiyer. I firt around by Winnipeg
 And flicker past Calgary; Though earnest, still my way, l peg To state, Is often airy. I tighten up the frontier town,
 And make sudden sally, Around St. Paul to hurry down
 This Mississippi valley. t With many mighty whoop fret The blue nosed population, And ne'er by any chance forget
 The smallest wayside station. Sometimes I riot through the snow, Sometimes I'm sly or steady, And when l stop l never go
 Until I'm good and ready. I wind about and in and out
 In order to be certain To find the breeze up every spout And swish through every curtain. And here and there q frozen form
 Marks out the way l travel; I keep the world from staying warm
 By merely scratching gravel I slip, I slide, gloom, l glance
 And set the people sneezing, I make the weather prophet dance
 To keep his toes from freezing. I finger under moon and stars,
 Now still and now bombastlc, And on the windows of the cars
 Leave traceries fantastic. I come and go just as I please,
 rip and tear and scurry, or simply loiter at my ease
 And let the people worry. $. E. Riser in Chicago Record-H Heral'

In an admira ble tribute to Frederick D. Happen, who died Friday night at Lakewood, the New York Evening Post remarks: Few men in the American financial world will be missed more genuinely as time goes on. It can be said of MT. Happen, as of very few oth- CT men in the walks of trade, that grave financial crisis is the hour when the loss will be most strongly felt Other men have done much more than he to direct the course of American finance in times of prosperous industri- al progress and in times of gradual re- construction after collapse. It is the peculia fact of MT. Tappen's history that he was called invariably to the wheel, by the unanimous voice of his colleagues, when the storm was at it's worst and the ship showed signs of foundering."

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
IN AFRICA SUFFERING

London Sept. 25.-The Times 10
hannesburg correspondent says that
events in the Transvaal every day tes-
tify to the lack of wisdom in the de-
lay on the part of the home govern
ment to declare it's intentions regard
ing the amount of the war indemnity
to be imposed upon the conquered
beers. The industrial development of
the Transvaal the correspondent de-
clares, is at a standstill.
A large amount of capital, waiting
for the official establishment of peace
to be devoted to the development of
the country, is still locked up in the
banks until the intentions of the gov
eminent are known.
One company has work waiting
which will necessitate an outlay of
S 10000 a month, but the management
hesitates to inaugurate it's operations
at present owing tG the general feel
ing Of mistrust prevailing. This is
but one of the many instances that
could be mentioned, says the, CORE
spondent, showing to what extent the
boer country suffers from the enforced
inactivity.

CANDIDATE WATTAWA
ANSWERS HIS OPPONENTS

Two Rivers, Wis, Sept. 25.-The
Chronicle, dem, yesterday published a
long letter from John Wattawa, demo
cratic candidate for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
or, explaining the charges made
against him at the state convention.
He closes with this very sensational
paragraph:
"There is more behind the conspir-
acy to brighten me off the ticket than
mere personal spite. I am convinced
that a United States senatorship was
involved in the scheme
The statement also contains a letter
from the pension examiner who in
vestigated the charges growing out OF
the allegation that he had received
exhorbitant fees in procuring pen
sions. The letter says that it was
decided that he was not entitled to
expenses in addition to his fee, and
that when the department so ruled
he promptly refunded the amount. In
regard to the mortgage matter, Mr..
Wattawa says it shows that he was a
victim of his agents.
