DE WET CoUNsELs LOYALTY.
Boer General Makes a Speech to the
Burghers

LONDON, June 16.-Dispatches received
mere from South Africa show that the sur
renders of Beers are proceeding with the
greatest good will. A dispatch from Lord
Kitchener, dated Pretoria, Saturday, June
IA. says that 1854 Beers have surrendered
since Friday, June. 49, making about 10 900
in all. and that everything is proceeding
most satisfactorily.
The appearance Of General De Wet at
the camp at WinbuYg was the signal for
great display Of enthusiasm When he
arrived at the camp General De Wet was
at once surrounded by thousands of Boer
and clamored to shake the hand Of their
hero. General De Wet mounted a table
and delivered an address. He warmly ap-
plauded the stanch support that the wo-
men had given the burghers during the
war; which, he said, had greatly encour-
aged the men in the field. Continuing.
General De Wet recommended his hearers
to be loyal to the new government, and
said:
Perhaps it is hard for you to hear this
from my mouth, but God has decided thus
l fought until there was no more hope Of
UNFOLDING our cause, and however bitter
1. may be. the time has now come to lay
down our arms. AS a Christian people, God
now demands that we be faithful to our
new government. Let US submit to His
decision ~
Neither General De Wet nor Mr.. steyn,
former president of thes old Orange Free
State. was ever wounded during the war
General De Wet has mott seen his wife for
two years. 5Is n
The repatriation committee, which has
been formed to assist the Beers in return
ing to their farms. has gigantic task
before 1t. The contamination camps will
be converted into supply depots to provide
the returning burghefs with the means to
rebuild and restock their Harms. The wives
and families Of the Beers will. If desired,
DO maintained at the expense of the gov
eminent while the burgfrers are preparing
for their return Two Thousand of the Ma
tional Scouts, who fought upon the British
side during the war viii Immediately be
disbanded. and each scout will be provid-
ed with pony and enabled to return to his
farm. ttgo

CASUALTIES IN SOUTH AFRICA
Compare Favorably With Those Of the
American Civil War

The London correspondent of the New
York Times says: The Times publishes an
article on South African casualties from
an actuarial correspondent which says
that excepting the first years fighting,
when the losses by battle and by disease
were very heavy, the casualties in South
Africa compare favorably with those of
the most recent campaigns for which trust
worthy figures are obtainable.
In the last year of the American civil
war the total death rate of officers and
men. which previously had been much
higher. was reduced to SO per LOCO
and in the Franco-Prussian war the total
death rate was 40 per 1000. In South
Africa during the closing months of the
war the total mortality has been 1908
These figures show how war tends to be-
come less deadly under modern conditions.
especially when these conditions become I'M
derstoOd by experience
1t is noticeable that not many more died
of disease in South Africa during the last
eight months than would have been the
case II there had been no war. The aver
age death rate Of British troops in for
eign service is Is per 1000 and IN South
Africa is was 1871.

At several different times she was seen by
people into whose premises she went in
search of food. but she managed to elude
them. So far as can now be determined
Miss BullCn had but two meals from the
time of her disappearance until she was dis
covered at 1880 pm. last night by two
school boys who had been posted at the
ditch with scores OF others to apprehend
her when next she should seek water.
The exposure of six nights and days in
the open air has done her apparently little
harm, though the attending physicians
assert that she is still suffering from an
attack of typhoid fever. in the delirium of
which she wandered away from home, the
attack having suddenly become acute after
several days after it's approch. Tonight
Miss Bullen is resting easily. and no fear for
her ultimate recovery is entertained.
She is now entirely rational and no doubts
exist that the sole mental difficulty from
which she suffered was the delirium of the
fever. In spite Of that it was only her
splendid constitution that enabled her to
endure hardshps that would likely have
taken the life of the average person..

FEAST OF ST. ANTHONY.
It Was Celebrated in the Church al
Brookland

The celebration of the feast of St An
thony at St Anthony's Church of Brook
land yesterday was a solemn and impress
sve service. The mass was celebrated at
1920 O'Clock by Bishop Blenk of Porto Rico.
He was assisted by the pastor, Rev. j. L.
OBrien, and his assistant, Rev. Father
Mark and the congregation of the Marist
in the following offices: Assistant priest,
the Rev. Father Collins: assistant deaconS,
the Rev. Father Gonzales of Porto Rico
and the Rev. Father Dubois; deacon of the
mass, Mr.. c. Chauve; subdeacon, Mr.. Sell
Ter: master of ceremonies, the Rev Fathers
Butin and Ries; crozier bearer. Mr.. Horton !;
inter bearer Mr.. Cotter; acolytes. Mr..
Petit and Mr.. Bergeron; minister of the
book, Mr. Grisward; minister of the candle.
Mr.. jung; minister of the gremai, MIR.
Keyes; cross bearer. Mr.. Bellwald..
The affairs were lavishly decorated with
flowers, while many lighted tapers glistened
among the green and white. The shrine OF
st. Anthony was especially attractive with
lights and flowers, in the midst of which
stood the figure of the patron saint of the
parish.
The choir, under the direction Of Prot
Carl Berk, rendered the music for the oc-
casion.
The sermon was delivered by Rev. J. T..
O'Brien, who gave an eloquent panegeric
Of the patron saint OF the parish. His
theme was the invocation Of the saints as
of the desire of man to want something
and the naturalness of man to ask those
who have the influence and power to obtain
these favors. Carrying out this thought,
he said, 1t is not unreasonable that God
should listen to the supplication Of those
who had served Him most faithful, and
with this in mind 1t was natural that man
should supplicate the saints to intercede in
their behalf.
Father OBrien spoke of men as 'mitators
and Of the practice Of the Catholic Church
to place before its members those whose
actions were worthy of this imitation.
God has given models to follow" he
said First, the Saviour Of mankind and
then His blessed mother, and for fear these
might be too lofty ideals He has taken from
our midst men and women whose virtuous
lives are patterns for to follow. People
in every station in life have become saints
illustrating to us that 1t Is possible for each
one of us to serve God faithfully and to
become heroes Of religion"
He spoke about the life Of st. Anthony
and exhorted the faithful to invoke his aid
The services concluded with the bishops
blessing and the marching of the solemn
procession out of the church to the rectoIy
During the mass the bell, which was re-
Gently donated to the church, chimed forth
in clear tones.

FLOWER AND TREE.

Fruit trees and fruit require potash
for their best development.
With house plants all extreme
changes of temperature should be
avoided.
Too many trees prevent rapid growth
and extend the time when a grove is
well shaded.
Grapeyines like their roots to be near
the surface, and the food for them
should not be placed at too great a
depth.
Small growth and too much small
fruit go together. Thrifty growth fur
nishes few large and tine specimens
Of fruit.
There is no use in growing a tree
very tall. The top limbs are apt to be-
come slender and break if fruit is pro-
duced on them.
All members of the poppy family are
hard to transplant. BY choosing a
rainy day and not exposing the roots
one can sometimes manage a trans
ference.
Avoid straight lines as much as possi-
BILE. There is no straight line in nature.
1t is for this reason that groups and
masses are so much better than formal
or set beds.
