'HIS IRISH RIFLE"
The Good PADRES Beloved shiIIeIRh
Was COnfscated by General.

From London M A. p
"As interesting parsonage as
met in South Africa writes a mill
tary contributor, lis Father Dahill, a.
CHEEKY. witty, good-natured Irish chap
lain, full of anecdote and trimming
over with fun. The padre was out in
South Africa at the beginning of the
war, and had seen the whole thing
right through without a scratch, until
he was badly hurt in the Victoria,
road railway disaster. when the rear
part of the mail train ran into the
front portion, which was standing at
Victoria Road Station. He has been
taken prisoner by Gen. Malan. the
late Commandant Hugo and Command
ant Brand. OF the two first named he
has nothing but praise. but he naively
remarks: I should not care to fall
into Brands hands again.
Twenty men of the Bedford Militia
Mounted Infantry had been cut to
bits-7 killed, 13 wounded. The padre
heard this news, determined to go out
in his Cape cart. find the wounded and
do what he could for them. He started
on his mission at o'clock at night
Losing his way, he found himself held
up two hours after by Boer sentry.
He had driven streight into Gen. Ma
lans camp The padre was brought
before the general. wnom he found ar
rayed in dress clothes, spotless white
shirt and tie. Malan proceeded with
the usual string Of questions, asking
him his mission. etc. All of them
were answered to the Beers satisfac-
ton. By the way said Malan, have
you a rife with you" Yes was the
reply, in my cart A burgher was
sent to fetch 1t, but returned empty
handed. Come, General said the
padre 7 shall find it, And from the
back of the cart he produced a black
thorn stick, explaining at the same
that IT was an Irish rifle Good ex-
claimed the Boer general You have
had your joke with me. I shall now
Rave mine with you. l intend to keep
this Irish rifle And, despite the
PADRES protests that he had had the
blackthorn with him througout the
war, Malan kept it. At the same time
It must be added that Malan packed
in the cart three bottles of whisky and
three dozens Of soda water for the
wounded. and sent a burgheri to drive
the padre direct to the spot, where he
found 10 wounded men in an Clubhouse.
The two men parted the best of friends.
the padre hoping that an unconditional
peace was near at hand, Malan reply
ing, A fair peace perhaps, but never
an abtectly unconditional surrender as
long as there are any Of our fellows
left "

PAY FOR VICTORIES.
Large Amounts Which Have Been
Given to English Generals.

Given to English Generals.
From the London News.
The grant of e5o,000 which the king
recommends should be voted to Lord
Kitchener is a substantial reward
enough; and yet there will be many
who will consider that the task per-
formed by Lord Kitchener was at least
as important as that for which Lord
Roberts received double the money, to-
gether with an earldom and the Garter.
1t is true, however, Lord Kitchener
never said the war was over. The
principle upon which military rewards
have been granted by parliament has
never been very clear. For example,
Lord Woeseley received after the rela-
lively unimportant Ashantee campaign
half as much as Lord Kitchener.
though the task set him can scarcely
have presented a twentieth part of the
difficulty
There are, of course, other little pick
ings if we may so 4peak which fall to
the lot of the successful general Lord
Welseley for instance on the occasion
of his receiving sword of honor from.
the city was presented in addition
with purse containing 100 guineas.
Probably the best rewarded, as he
was the most deserving. of military
leaders, was the Duke of Wei
lington. He was made viscount, with
a pension of $4,000 a year, after the
battle of Talavera. In recognition of
his glorious exploits in the Peninsula,
he obtained an earldom, with an ad-
ditional $4,000 a year; and immedi-
ately afterward he became marquis,
and e10Q000 was granted to him for
the purchase of lands to maintain the
honor of the position.
Napoleon once safe, as the world be-
lieved, in Elba, Wellington's services
were further recognized by the gift
of a dukedom and a sum of G4OO. 900.
The King could scarcely do more after
this in the way of titles; but the re-
sources of Parliament-an of the ma
tion-were less limited, and further
grant of 9200,000 was voted to the
victor of Waterloo on the final ex-
tinction of the Napoleonic meteor. So
that, if we capitalize the dukes pen
sions at the rate of twenty years'
purchase, the struggle against Napo-
leon was worth to him no less than
e7S0, 900, or rather more than a hum
dred and ten thousand a year, count
ing from the date of Talavera. Such
a nice little addition to his pay is
probably more than any modern soldier
will ever realize again.

THE KILLING AT WALDEN.

The coroner's jury in the case of ].
w Campbell for the killing of G.. t.
Pyron at Walden, near Macon. rem
dered a verdict of justifiable homicide.
The men were neighbors and not On
the best of terms. Wednesday they
had some words about the sanitary
condition of Pyron's premises. Later
they met at Willis store and the al
tercation was renewed. From words
they came to blows. Pyron seized an
iron bar and struck Campbell a heavy
blow over the head. The latter got
hold of a pistol with which he had
been shooting and fired at close range.
The bullet penetrated Pyron's heart
and he died without speaking. Pyron
was stranger in the community and
but little known. He came to Walden
as night operator for the Georgia
Railroad six months ago and was re-
Gently made agent. He leaves a young
wife and babe.

gone as far as he could without en-

had decided to go to the Mill Creek
entry from there without further

Further news came a few moments
later that Mine Supt. Robinson, who
had gone into the mine with General
Manager Moore, had been overcome
with fire damp and was unable to talk.
He had been carried to the Mill Creek
entrance. The mine employees stationed
at the mine entry stated that the fact
that Mr.. Moore had penetrated so far
into the mine showed that the fire
damp was being cleared rapidly, and
that with every prospect of being en-
tirely driven from the mine before

EVIL OF HEAVY HATS.
Unscientific Headgear Largely Re-
sponsibIe for Premature Badness.

sponsibIe for Premature Badness.
From the Youths Companion.
When travelling in countries where
the great majority of the people hab-
itually walk bareheaded, as is the case
in many parts of Italy for instance,
one can hardly help noticing the great
number of handsome heads of hair
seen on the streets. This fact must
be accepted as one of the strongest
proofs that the hat is the most fruit
full cause of badness. 1t is certain
that there are more bald men than
bald women in the world, although if
women were condemned to wear heavy,
unyielding felt and silk hats, as men
are, they would probably suffer as
much.
The headgear to which men are
condemned for the greater part of the
year has several qualities inseparable
from it which tend to lower the health
of the scalp and injure or entirely de-
stroy the hair, and in lesser degree
women's hats may come under the
same condemnation. These qualities
are weight, lack of ventilation and
lightness Any hat which causes a
sense of oppression and heaviness
across the brow will injure the growth
of the hair.
Let any woman WHO mas worn TOT
months or years, small, light hornets
set back from the face, put on a stiff
felt hat that rests upon her brow,
and she will soon realize how vigor-
ously her whole head resents the un~
wonted tyranny. She will find herself
constantly lifting the weight to gain
a moments relief and fresh air for
the imprisoned and rebelling nerves
and veins. If she persists in wear
ing the hat, in short time the dan>
ger signals cease. Her brow becomes
apparently Indifferent to the insult;
it has given it's warning-its danger
signals of pain and discomfort-and
now adapts itself to the new burden.
But the harm goes on, nevertheless.
The scalp suffers from overwork, over
heating and lack of ventilation, and
in a short time the thinning temples
and dull, nerveless hair will tell the
tale.
The growing custom for women of
removing the hat in public places, to-
gether with the extreme lightness of
the structures demanded by fashion
for the greater portion of the year,
should. result in noticeable improve
ment in this respect, for with the
hair, as with all the rest of us, good
looks cannot exist without good health.
