husband and five small children (the
oldest being but eleven years., one
brother and three sisters, viz, Mrs. G.

members of which turned out to honor
her memory. Mrs. Rice possessed
many graces of mind and heart; she
was an atfectionate wife, loving and
devoted mother and q faithful Chris
tian. BY her death five little ones are
left motherless, but her spirit will
hover near them and guide their foot
steps i'll the path of virtue which she
had tr0d and which she would have
taught her darlings to follow did God
spare her life. But He called her to
the land of everlasting peace and joys,
and she died resigned to His will and
with her latest breath she admonished
her husband to keep the children to-
gether.
The funeral took place Wednesday
morning from the residence, 2G03 Lyn-
dale avenue N, to the Ascension
church, where solemn requiem mass
was celebrated by Rev. Father Nc

text, eternal rest give her, o Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon her"
He spoke of her efforts in behalf Of
the new church, and said her zeal and
labor for Gods temple would remain
Il monument to her memory. He COM
forted the grief stricken husband, told
the children what Il mothers loss
meant, and urged all to pray for her

BOER FIGHT FOR FREEDOM.
Mich'l Davitl's Book Out. Intensely Inter.
eSting and Handsomely illustrated.

eSting and Handsomely illustrated.
The publishers Of the Irish Stand
ard are pleased to announce that they
have secured the exclusive agency in
Minneapolis for the sale of Michael
Davitt's intensely interesting book,
'''Thc Boer Fight for Freedom" copies
OF which can be had at The Irish
Standard Office. Agents will also cam
vass the city.
This book, appearing as it did, by
a remarkable coincidence, on the very
day, almost, that the Boer War was
officially ended, is the only complete,
graphic, authoritative, ardent account
of one of the most remarkable strug-
giles the world has seen of Il free peo-
pie to retain their independence. AL
tho the high hopes of the Beers have
failed of realization, even their late
enemies pay generous tribute to the
splendid valor, the noble sacrifice, the
Spartan endurance, the inspiring chiv-
airy of their heroic struggle. The
story of it, as told by the man of all
men best qualified to tell it, is Il glori-
Gus epic which will thrill the world
through all time.
Nothing is omitted from this book
and nothing it contains is mutilated or
falsely colored by hostile censors. The
Boer side of the whole story is told
here by Il trained writer and eye wit
ness. The facts were secured from
the Boer officers and patriots them
selves, and from official documents.
Mr.. Davitt resigned his seat in parlia-
ment to go to South Africa during the
early fighting to gather his material,
and he became personally acquainted
with many of the principal Boer otii-
GERS and fighters. The history is COM
plete, and final, while at the same time
it is full of the passion, the life-and-
death heart interest, inseparable from
the subject.
early fighting. There he met Steyn,
Botha, De Ia Rey, and other Boer
leaders, whose strong personality as
we'll as heroic acts he wildly describes
with the pen of a trained author and
correspondent. He gives graphic pic
lures of the first great battles: Colenso,
Magersfontein, Spion Kop, and of sub,
sequent events up to date, including
Methuen's capture.
What the book contains: Six hun
dred and three pages of original re-
search and description, much of which
is the result of Mr.. Davitt's personal
observation in South Africa during the
war. More than 100 illustrations OF
Boer generals, battles, camp-scenes
etc., many of which are from photo
graphs taken by Mr.. Davitt himself
Seven maps, which localize the move
ments and victories of Botha, De Wet
De la Rey, and the other great Boel
generals, as clearly as the campaigns
of Grant, Sherman, and Lee arc
shown in an atlas of our Civil War. A
copious index by which one can in
stantly pick out the descriptions OF
these heroes and trace their exploits.
Price of the book, $3.50. Orders by
mail will receive prompt attention.

not at him, but at the things that
seem amusing to his own sense. And
the mother who has the blithe and
ready humor to enter into his fun be-
comes his most Fascinating companion.
He heeds her rebukcs and bends to
her correction without i'll feeling,
where Sternress would arouse his

she is ready to share all his innocent

The ..E and e. Union.v

Another solution Of the labor ques-
ton has been discovered. The latest
discovery is by manufacturer OF a
cereal food that is warranted to put
gray matter into the heads Of brain
workers and put strength into the mus
cles of athletes and workers. The So
luton is to be brought about by what
this manufacturer styles the 'E. and
E. union" In this union" contract
is entered into between the employer
and the employee for six months or
year at 4 rate mutually fixed. The
employer deposits satisfactory bond
in the hands Of the treasurer of the
union equal in amount to $25 for every
employee, and each employee deposits
each pay day cents on the dollar OF
his pay until he has deposited with
the treasurer of the union the sum Of
S25. If the employer does not keep his
agreement, he forfeits S25 to the en-
ployec. and the employee likewise for
feits out of the sum he may have on
deposit up to S25 If he fails to keep
his contract.

A Good Law.

In the State Senate last Friday
morning Mr.. Stanland'S toy pistol bill
came up for a third reading. The bill
as it passed the Senate prohibits the
sale or giving away OF toy pistol
cartridges or caps. Senator Ragsdale,
of Florence, wanted to exempt pistols
shooting paper caps from che prori-
sions of the bill. but Senator Mcleod.
of Lee County. made a brief address
full Of good sense and with an eye to
the future. He said it vas time
to instil in the minds Of the boys chat
a pistol is something to be let alone:
1t isan easy step from the toy pistol
to p calibre, to a 32 calibre and 50
on, and it is a good time now to cease
to encourage the formation OF a most
dangerous habit. The amendment
was killed by practically unanimous
vote and the bill passed and was sent
to the house, where it should be pass
ed without delay, as it is good law.

Worse than War.

According to figures recently made
public S45 persons were killed and H.
1872 injured on American railway lines
during period Of three months. This
maT not be considered an excessive
mortality in view Of the large number
Of persons who daily travel these lines
but when it is contrasted with the
further statement that during an en-
tire year only one person suffered
death on the railways OF Great Bri-
tain, one is forced to pause and in
ouire the reason for so vast a differ
ence. The Atlanta Journal thinks
the reason plain, to-wit, that 1t is a
much more serious matter to kill a
person On an English railroad than it
is in America.

The letter was answered By Arthur
the composer. in this strain:
Two Frock Coats.

The Paris Figaro thinks that the day
Of frock coats is over, reasoning from
circumstance which lately occurred
at Ostend. During the international
race week King Leopold gave alunch-
con party and invited famous Eng
lish gentleman rider, one Of the Van.
derbilt family, NJ de B.. an eminent
French turtle and the consul Of great
power. The card Of invitation bore in
the corner the words In frock coat"
Now, NJ. de 8. had no frOck coat with
him, so he went downstairs and, find
ing the manager, begged his frock coat
for a couple Of hours. The manager
readily consented, but said, I must
explain to N. le Comte that this is not
my best frock coat, which I should
readily have placed at his disposal had
not already lent it to N. Vanderbilt"
The explanation Of the matter doubt
less is that the gentlemen did not think
they would need these garments OF
form and ceremony on racing trip to
Ostend.

The Horrible Roads.

1t is a sad commentary upon our
civilization that our roads should be
in their present condition. There can
scarcely be found a good road in this
county when the best OF weather pre-
walls. and during rainy period like
that which has continued for the past
several weeks, the roads are almost
impas able. Something is radically
wrong when such state OF affairs
exists. The trouble lies in the law
under which the roads are worked.
We wish the Legislature could spend
few days in this county just now
and attempt to drive over any road in
the county. We believe that every
member without exception would go
back to Columbia determined to take
some action looking towards road i'm
provcment. There is nothing to be
gained by keeping up the present sys-
tenn. What we need and what the
people demand is a property tax that
shall be expended exclusively upon the
permanent improvement Of the public
highways. We have been digging
bitches on either side and piling soft
mud in the centre long enough, and
results have long since shown the
nadequacy of the barbarous practice.
Practically the only people who are
now kicking against a property tax
are those who have no taxes to pay.
There is neither pleasure nor profit in
highways such as we now have. There
is great deal Of pleasure and more
profit in good roads. The only way
to secure good roads is to impose a
tax upon all property and use the
money exclusively in permanent work.
That is what we need and that is
what We demand and must have. In
view OF this question, just now al
others fade into insigni6cance. TIE
above from the Newberry News and
Herald is along the right line. Some
thing should be done to improve our
nuhl ic roads
