Electric Lights In st. Paul'..

The long talked of installation of
electric lights in st. Paurs, London,
Is completed. Worshipers on Easter
eve viii see the new lights then for
the first time, though not in entire
ty, perhaps. The wires are now
ready, but for some reason there has
been some delay in getting the
standards fixed. Not quite all of
these viii be fixed by Easter, but
the choir will be seen in blaze of
light. 1t is estimated that the
change from gas to electricity,
through the gift of j. Pierpont Nor
gan, viii cost $4,000.

early life. The general is a man over
the medium height, sinewy in build,
and remarkable for his quiet, digni-
fled manner He has deep-set, dark
eyes, prominent Roman nose and a
large, dark-brown beard, giving to
trician expression.
He was born of fighting family,
and has had the experience and train
ing of campaigns in conflicts with
hostile Kaffir tribes. His first COM
lnand was in the war which the Eng
l.sh melted the Basutos to wage
e gainst the Free State in the early
cos, when he was quite young.
These experiences qualified him for
a prominent military position when
the present war broke out, and he
was unanimously elected to the com
mand of the Lichtenburg burghers,
who became part of Cronie's western
column.
He represented his native district
in the volksraad for ten years, and
was a consistent supporter of the
Joubert. as against the Kruger, fol-
lowing in that assembly. He favored
a large franchise concession to the
Uitlanders as means of averting a
conflict with England, but soon saw
that demand for political reforms
was only pretext for precipitating
a conflict. He was one of the most
ardent advocates of an attacking
as against defensive military pol
Icy when England forced resort to
hostilities upon the republic.
Like Gen. Cronje, he carries no
weapons in the field. His field glass,
wooden pipe, and, last but not least,
his Bible, are his inseparable com
panions. He is a universal favorite
with the burghers of both republics,
and inspires great confidence in his
men by his almost unerring military
judgment, splendid generalship, hero
ic courage. an indomitable tenacity
of purpose and an all-round resource
fulness in all emergencies.
He is remarkably self-contained in
his actions, never getting excited.
even in the thickest Of the fight, but
always remaining cool, cautious and
alert

charge.
From the army Mr.. Sargent drifted
into railroading and secured start
as a wiper in the employ of the
Southern Pacific railroad. From this
humble and not altogether remuner-
ative position he worked his way up

fireman.

years ago, Mr.. Sargent Immediately
identified himself with the organiza-
ton, and soon became one of the
most active workers in it. He wac at

A falling off of 80 per cent in the Cen

tributed to the partial use of native

crop amounted to 5,495,30O pools. as
