tea. But it was as fine coffee as have
ever tasted, and certainly contained a
large proportion of caffeine. This

were all told $500 acres, from 22O0

Every time we are i'll it Is part O

headache or pneumonia, is accom-
plished by a strenuous effort of vitality
and is. therefore, a waste of your cap

"The best plan to avoid illness i.
to live regularly. simply, with fru

deem painful or eccentric.

those who think they are well up il

what ventilation means. Even wher

wide open, summer and winter, and
never caught cold in that way.

Used In One Trade.
The business done in mouse whis-
kers is considerable this year. for they
are used in the making of the wonder.
full new fly for fishermen-the new
gray gnat" And they are expensive
nearly two cents per whisker. Trout
rise very much better at mouse whis-
ker flies than at the same "gnat"
dressed in jinglecock hackles, which
look much like them.
The trade of artificial fly making Is
the lightest-fingered business in the
world, and it is not one man or woman
out of 5000 who can learn to tie dies.
These tyers are remarkable for the
beauty and delicacvei their hands, AM;
only the cla.seest Of fingers can deal
with the "niggling" work Of knotting
hairs that can hardly be seen.
In making a fly the earth has to be
ransacked for. precisely the correct
feathers and hairs, and one hair wrong
will make all the difference.
1t takes an expert tier only Is min
utes to turn out a ny. which consists OF
a tiny hook, with wings OF Egyptian
dove feather, legs of fox hair and a
body Of mouse fur, wound round with
a thread Of yellow silk. A carelessly
made fly will have neither legs nor
"feelers," but the true expert odds the
legs and puts on a pair of long feel
ers" of cat hair white at the tips All
these tiny details will be exactly in
their places and so finely tied to the
hook that the fly will take half a dozen
strong fish and be none the worse.
Bears eyebrows. being stiff, and ex-
actly the right shade, are used In =
newly invented fly that is killing guam
titles of salmon this year, and these
eyebrows come from the Himalayan
brown bear and cost about $3.50 per
set. There are always agents all over
the world searching tropical forests
for the right birds to supply fly hackles
and one Of the most sought after skins
is that of the rare green screamer,"
an African bird, about the size OF q
fowl, which has tiny bunch Of feath-
ers on each shoulder that are worth SIS
per bunch to the flyDAker. One Of
these birds only supplies feathers
enough for half a dozen flies. Numbers
of men spend their Hves-and lose
them, too-in collecting the right kind
of birds for fly feathers.
THERE'S no limit to the enthusiasm
of an artistic fly tier, who will use
hair from his own eyelashes to finish
OF an extra special fly. Baby's hair il
a much-sought-after material, If of the
right shade-golden yellow-for all the
lighter salmon FIGS, and one curl will
make a dozen first-class flies. There
are many salmon and trout fishers who

BRITISH ARE UNDAUNTED.
Reverse in South Africa Brings Out
More Troops.

LONDON. March 11.-Expressions Of
steadfastness have today succeeded those
of humiliation which were universally
heard here yesterday on the publication of
the news of Gen. Methuen's disaster. There
is little disposition to minimize the incident,
but everywhere is heard the determination
to maintain the tradition that blows serve
to strengthen and stiffen British resolution.
Lord Rosebery struck the popular note to-
Day in a speech before the Glasgow stu
dents. He admitted that it was heart
breaking after all the expenditure of life,
time and money, but he added:
TT will not Gishearten us. We have got
to see this thing through. We must take
the blows fortune deals us with equanimity,
showing ourselves worthy of better for
tunes"
Lord Rosebery expressed the hope that
more prosperous times were in store and
that In the future lit would be our proud
memory that when our country passed
through the storm we did not for a moment
finch and were not for an instant dis
mayed"
Reports from the continent that the de-
feat of General Methuen was followed up
by another fight, also favorable to the
Beers, occasion some anxiety, owing to the
absence of news from General GrenfelI s
column of 1 800 men. which left Klerksdorp
to join General Methuen. 1t is thought
that, possibly, General Delarey may have
attacked Grenfell.
The war secretary, Mr.. Brodrick. when
asked in the house Of commons today what
steps had been taken, in view Of the sue
cess of the Beers against General Methuen,
to send Lord Kitchener reinforcen,ents.
said 5000 Yeomanry would be Immediately
embarked. with large drafts of cavalry and
infantry Lord Kitchener would be given
all the assistance he asked for.

STREET CARS FIRED ON.
Strike Situation in Norfolk Still in
Acute Stage.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
PORTSMOUTH, Va, March 11.-Fears
of more serious trouble as a result Of
prolongation of the street railway tstrike
have not yet been realized. The stoning of
cars continues, but there have been no
been called upon to fire single shot. Cars
have been repeatedly fired upon from am
buscade. but the bullets have passed
through them harmlessly The boycott Is
still on and few passengers are riding.
The Central Labor Union of Portsmouth
has adopted resolutions upholding the cor
rectness of the strikers attitude In reject
ing the terms of the settlement and con-
demning the governor in strong terms for
his ''precipitate haste in ordering out the
military before the civil power had been
exhausted.
The military guards will at once be with
drawn from the Norfolk street cars. This
is interpreted by many persons to mean
that the strike is in fair way to be set
tied. The request comes from the COM
pany and the military authorities will
comply, provided there is no immediate
disorder resulting. The plan is expert
mental and the police are fearful that the
consequences will be grave.
1t is expected that the sheriff will swear
in about 100 extra deputies for service in
the county, and that the mayor will pro-
protect the motormen and conductors in
the city. The move is bold one. as it Is
believed that only the presence of the
troops has up to this time prevented more
serious disorder. The public believes that
the company sees settlement in sight.

The Charges.
FIRST DEATH FROM SMALLPOX.
Peculiarly Sad Case of Tifan, Ohio,
Boy.

The first death in the District from
smallpox since May IA. 1899, occurred yes
terday afternoon at the smallpox hospital
when Clifford Hepp, lad of eighteen years
succumbed to the disease. Young Hepps
death was peculiarly sad one. He came
to this city some time ago practically pen
nlless, having left his home in Tiffin Ohio
he said, because of family differences. He
reached Washington on freight train and
spent two nights at the Rescue Mission on
18th street. He became ill February 25
and was removed to the Emergency Hos
pital There the physicians suspected the
true character Of the disease and isolated
the patient. A subsequent examination
showed that he had smallpox and he was
Immediately removed to the hospital
The boy was very i'll from the first and
the doctors had little hope of his ultimate
recovery, although he improved from time
to time during the course of his treatment
The health department yesterday after
noon teiegraphed to young Hepp's relatives
in Tittin, Ohio, and received q reply re-
questing that the remains be buried in some
Catholic cemetery. and the expenses would
be forwarded. The authorities have been
endeavoring to find some acquaintances of
the young man to defray the expenses
pending the arrival of the remittance from
Ohio. The District has no funds from
which 1t could advance the money. 1t is
hoped the arrangements may be completed
this afternoon.
There are nine cases of smallpox at the
hospital all of the patients being reported
in excellent condition.

THE HOUSE.

When the House met today Mr.. Thayer
(Mass) created something of a furry by
rising to question Of privilege, which, he
said, invoked the dignity of the House and
the safety of its members"
He thereupon presented resolution set
ting forth that many rumors regarding
Cuban reciprocity, together with allesa-
tions that the sugar trust was to be the
chief beneficiary of such reciprocity; that
it was subsidizing newspapers, establishing
literary bureaus and in other ways at
tempting to create public sentiment in favor
Of Cuban reciprocity. The resolution de-
cares that the dignity Of the House was
involved. and called for special commit
tee of seven members to investigate the
subject.
Mr.. Loud made a point of order against
the resolution, which was sustained by the
Speaker
Mr.. Thayer appealed from the decision Of
the chair.
Il move to lay the appeal on the table,"
instantly cried Mr.. Payne, the republican
floor leader.
Mr. Thayer demanded the ayes and noes
and the roll was called.
The republicans voted solidly for the mo-
tion to lay the appeal on the table, while
two democrats. Messrs. Fleming (Ga.) and
Mcclellan IN. Y.), broke away from their
party associates and voted with the re-
publicans. The appeal was laid on the
table-125 to 81
Post Office Appropriation Bill.
The House then went into committee Of
the whole (Mr. Littlefield of Maine in the
chair) and entered upon the consideration
Of the post Office appropriation bill. AS Mr.
Littlefield took the chair there was an out
burst Of applause both sides of the
House.
Mr.. Loud tCal), in charge Of the bill, ex-
planned it's provisions in a preliminary
statement. The bill, he said, carried $751;
$3.50. being $31S5,0 ,022 more than the esti-
mates and $14, ,l33, $40 more than the appro-
priations for the current year.
The main cause of the increase, he said
was the Increased salaries of postal en-
ployes, which under this bill would average
$500.
Mr.. Brantley (Ga.), taking advantage Of
the latitude allowed in general debate on
an appropriation bill. discussed the ques-
tion Of Cuban reciprocity. He contended
that whatever was to be done should be
done speedily. He favored reciprocity
