DIRECT TO CHICAGO.

Purchase of MOnOn Route by South
ern Means 537 Miles More i'm
Length.
The fact that the Southern Railway
has acquired the Monon Route, as
chronicled in an Atlanta dispatch to
the Morning News, is of considerable
interest to Savannahians. The. pur-
chase means the addition of 537 miles
to a roadbed of 1854 miles, and, too, a
direct route to the West.
The Southern extends now to Cincin-
natl and Louisville, and with the Mo-
non Route enters Indianapolis and Chi
cago. BY the taking in of the Chicago,
indianapolis and Louisville, which is
the Monon Route, Savannahians have
secured a direct line to the West with
direct schedules. Besides Savannah, the

WITH HOOKS OF GOLD.

There is another novelty in the world
of fashion, which is the hook of gold,
says an Exchange. Gold hooks come
in ali sizes and are made in all weights.
They are also patterned after many dec
orations, and to own a set of gold
hooks is almost nescessary if you are
to rival the 400, who hook their gowns
with gold hooks and fasten their stocks
in the same way. A high quality of
brass might do, or brass with a coat
ing of gold; for to purchase the real
article, or have it made to order. is
somewhat expensive. To parapharse
the speech of old Polonius, those things
thou hast and their becomingness tried
grapple TO thee with hooks of gold.
That is the way OF do it now-with
hooks of gold.

ceived here from Klerksdorp describ-
ing the attack upon and capture by
the Beers Feb. a. at point south
west of Klerksdorp, of 467 British SOL
diers who were acting as convoy to
an empty wagon train, show that Gen.
Delarey laid his plans with consum-
mate care and precise knowledge of
the ground.
The third Boer attack upon the con-
voy was delivered from various points
and was most determined. BY sheer
recklessness they sought to ride down
and overwhelm the British defense.
The British guns shelled the charging
Beers, but nothing stopped their on
slaught which was delivered with un-
usual impetus. The convoy mules were
subject to heavy fire, and deserted
by the native drivers, the mules
stampeded, putting many of the defen-
ders temporarily out of action and
causing the widest confusion.
For two hours the British held out.
They they divided and were over
whelmed. A few minutes of incautious
galloped along the line firing at every
man who showed the slightest ten
dency to resist until they reached and
captured the guns. In the excitement
the Northumberland Fusilers who
had been cut off, succeeded in fighting
their way out for some distance. When
their ammunition became exhausted
they charged with bayonets, but were
speedily overpoWered.
BY o'clock in the morning all re-
sistance was at an end. The dead
and wounded were scattered all over
the field. Broken wagons and panic
stricken horses and mules made a
scene of indescribable confusion. Not
until Gen. Delarey came in person
was anything like order restored. He
stopped the Beers, engaged in strip
ping the British wounded, by the free
use of the sianbok, but they con-
tinued the work of dispoiling when
his back was turned

warned the missionaries. but they
were attacked before they could get
out Of the way.
The other massacre took place In

London, March Am his presiden-

the Association of Chambers of Com

Lord Avebury, better known as Sir
John Lubbock, admitted there were
disquieting features, but he said there
was no necessity for dependency in
regard to British commerce.
Speaking of subsidies, he said that
while French ship owners enjoyed sub
stantial advantages, on the other
hand, they had been burdened by
bounties, subsidies and protection Civ

If the British ship owenrs were not
bountied they. at any rate, were not
burdened with contributions to bolster
up other trades.
In the speakers opinion the best
thing the British government could
do for commerce was to let it alone.
