PEACE RUM ORS.
Dutch Premier Trying to End the
 South African Fight.

Dutch Premier Trying to End the
 South African Fight.
 LONDON, Jan. 1S.-Reuter's Tele- gram company has received the follow ing dispatch from Amsterdam:
 According to trustworthy informa- ton Dr. Kuyper, the Dutch premier, recently intimated to the Boer dele gates the desira bility, in view of Lord Rosebery's speech at Chesterfield, of their giving some intimation to the British government of the basis upon which they would entertain peace ne- gotiations. Dr. Kuyper pointed out the improbability of any of the great powers intervening in South Africa in the near future and suggested that he be allowed informally to sound his friends in London in the hope of a semiofficial response.
 'The Dutch premier accordingly met Abraham Fischer, the leader of the Boer delegates, and others at Brussels, where a long conference was held, after which Dr. Kuyper proceeded to London. The result of his visit, if any has been attained, is not yet known.
 'It is understood that Dr. Kuyper distinctly assured the Boers that Hol- land under no circumstances would act as an intermediary.
 ''Dr. Leyds, the representative in Eu- rope of the Transvaal, is expected shortly at The Hague"

stearinSs From stratton Mine.

VICTOR, Colo, Jan. IS. Manager Shipman of the Independence mine, owned by the Stratton's Independence company of London, states that about $4O,e00 worth of ore had been stolen by ore pickers from the mine during the past eight months, or $5,000 worth every month since the trouble between the miners and management on ac- count of the "strip to the skin" order issued early last summer. This order nearly precipitated strike and was modified only at the earnest request of the parties most interested. Manager Shipman estimates that the stealings before this now famous order was is- sued amounted to between 5000 and $50, QUO a month ever since the mine was sold by Mir. Stratton to the Eng fish corporation.

SCHOOLBOYs PRAYING POOL.
Keepers of Pool Rooms May Find
 Themselves in Trouble Soon.

It Is probable that certain high school youth will not play pool as much ill the future as he has ln the past. The youth in question is q reg ular pool sharp or rather pool ficnd. He is good player and is very fond Of playing the game In fact, he is too fond of playing the game, so at least his parents think. Lately, owing to his constant play, the schoolboy has been irregular in his attendance at home. His parents became rather dis pleased at the boys behavior. On Wednesday afternoon they formulated a plan by which they hoped to catch the boy playing in one of the pool rooms. Accompanied by a police DfIi- cer they visited pool room on East Main street. But their raid or visit was unsuccessful. Their boy wasn't there. They then made a trip, SD it Is said, to pool room on Bank street. But here their search was also fruit less. But though the trip was unsuc. cessful, it had some good effect, as t Is said that the high school youth is not so fond of playing now as he was before the trip. In writing about the above case it would not be amiss to remark that it is amazing how many schoolboys frequent the different pool rooms. There is a number of scholars who remain away from school during the day to play the game, not only for fun, but often for money There have been many complaints of this nature and it would not be at all surprising if some persons found themselves in trouble on account of this in the Dear future.

WORKINGS OF POLICY GAME.
Man Claiming He Won $2Oo Trying to
 Recover It.

!
 Recover It.
 The policy game as 1t is played in this city has another victim crying out against 1t for profits he claims to have won and were denied him. This man appears determined to make trouble for some one if possible, for he has seen a number of lawyers to make a case out of his claim. The man Is known as Mike DalL but that can hardly be his real name, unless 1t may be the English translation, for Italy Is his native heath. After trying in vain to have any of the lawyers in the Odd Fellows building look at the matter as he does, Daly secured Attorney Rich mond, and even he appears to think Michael may have a good deal of bother getting any of his alleged win nings. Crookedness on either the part of the game or the player appears to be the trouble. Daly claims he put S2 on certain numbers on a certain days slip last week and won over $2O0. When he presented himself for pay ment at local headquarters of the game he was told he did not win a cent. Whereupon there was a display of slips and numbers on both sides said to be the issue of that day and marked difference was at once seen. Daily clamored for his winnings, IS he would not be convinced he did not win. and he had to be put out of the place, it is said. The numbers were not ar- ranged as Daly claimed they had been that morning when he put his money on them; they were on the slip. but arranged quite differently from the or der they were put down by Daly on his own memorandum, copy of which each player leaves for the collector to take to headquarters. On the state. ments of each at that time. Daly could not have won a cent but Daly claimed the figures were re-arranged by the local office after the slips had been is- sued, so that anyone placing money upon them in that manner could not have any chance of winning. This Is one of the statements that was made to-day. It Is given here merely for what 1t Is worth. At all events, # made no difference to Daly how the figures were placed, he was not given his alleged winnings. All that can possibly attend a persistence by Daily in pressing his claim is exposure of the policy game. for in law a gambling debt cannot be recovered. Only the money that was actually spent can be got back.

My Godl is just the same as your, What ere your unbelief may be- For into every heart He pouIs Some faith drops for humanity. My God is just the same today, As when in ages past and gone, Esvptians gropad and found their way To Him in temples in to the Sun. My Godl is one to Buddah known, Whose precepts were like coined gold; Granules of thought to proverbs grown Minted and mined from moral mold! My God! is just the same as when Man saw Him in volcanic gleam, And into valley came all men, To learn of Him from fetish dream! MyGodi Within a castle lives. But never shuts the outer door And to all those who enter gives The bread of life-the humblest poori My Godl is one who had his mode Of revelation unto man, And man must learn to read his code Before he can discern His plan! That plan embraces distant sphere, All forms of life, both here and there Where ere a glint of star appears, Or zone of humid atmospherei Fen still beyond to vaster plane Gemmed by great orbs and suns that

 And drop into oblivious urn! Then be content, nor ask for morel Than to ohav His code humane. The tears that flow will soon restore The wounded heart to pulse again!

 Brilliant Game of Season.

Princeton. N. J., November 1.--In the presence of TOGO people Princeton won a splendid victory today over the Cornell eleven by the score of 10 to 0. The ten points were made by Dewitt, Prineeton's famous guard, who sent the ball over the bar in the first half from the 15-yard line and again in the second half from the 30-yard line Both teams hammered snd smashed at the others defense, until they found 1t useless and then, In the bunting matches that followed, Dewitt's s wonderful kicks of from 50 to 70 yards, gave Princeton her opportunity to try for goals from the field in which two of Dewitts three attempts succeeded. It was by far the most brilliant game that has been played on Prineetons field this season. The team work of both elevens was strong, the interference being well formed. and the plays executed with snap and dash worthy of a battle royal. The line up:
 tackle; Brown. left guard, Barney, cen ter; Dewitt right guard; Reed, right tackle; F. Brown, right end; Parson, quarter back; Hart, left half back; Foulke, right half back; R. MeClave. full back
 Cornell-Larlxin left end: Leuder left tackle Warner, left guard Davitt, cen ter; Webb right guard; Smith, right tackle; Tudeman, right end; Brewster quarter back; Purcell, left half back Coffin, right half back; Hunt, full back Time of halves 35 minutes each.
