Richard Yea and Nay" he has given
surprise to many in his last story be-
cause of his very rare and rich quail
ties Mr.. Alden says that "the book has
carried me away by its force and
beauty. 1t places Mr.. Hewlett far
higher than he has ever stood even
ia the estimation of his most ardent
admirers. =.
The probability is 1t will live, will
become classic. If the best critics
who have written of it can be relied
unon. it is a novel of intense interest,
superb style and very impressive art.
During the most unjust and iniqui-
tons war upon the Dutch Beers in
South Africa, Waged by the over
Whelming British and which lasted, !
think. between two and three years
there was very much published about
the tremendous effort of Great, Brlstaln
to raise troops enough to overcome the
small force of the little Boef country
or Kingdom Britain had popula-
ton not far from 100000, and after
great TODD it raised $4,000 troops
Cor the overpowering of the 10000
Beers opposed to them. Recently l
saw the official statement of the losses
of the British in all, and lncludlhS
killed in battle died of wounds ana
died of disease, the total was 20, % /.
Really after the protracted struggle
with at least four or five BRUSH TO
one Boer the loss seems very Snail.
Compared with the great four years
war between the South and the tre-
mendous North, it was a skirmlsh
rather than serious fighting. The
North had nearly 100000 men, ana
the South not more probably than
5000 Please note the great dis
parity in numbers, as great or greater
than that between the British and the
Beers Think of q great Kingdom with
such vast fighting population, losing
but 20,731, while a small State like
North Carolina with less than 1,00O,-
900 people in 1860, with more than
100000 negroes as a part of it, who
might help the enemy, and many did,
of the total. Then think of the great
losses North Carolina sustained-oVer
1900, or about double that of the
British, and you see at once what
splendid fighting this State did, and
how much it suffered. / have not by
me the precise figures of thu United
States Government Records of the
War, but they exceed Al 90. l turn 10
the Confederate Hand Book, carefully
compiled by Col. Robert G. Wood, of
New Orleans. and / find that North
Carolina had a fighting population of
1880 in 1860, and that it's loss was
4O,305-or some 1000 less than given
i'm the United States Government
Records. But both are enormous or
twice as great nearly as the total
British loss The vote in 1860 was
about 112, 500 white. 1t had 5,035 ne
groes on the Yankee side, besides some
bushwhackers among the whites aid
ing them That will do.

WINNING STREAK
STILL UNBROKEN
SAINTS GO DOWN BEFORE MILL
Frs FAST PLAY.
After Six Innings of Close Play Ses-
sions Grew Wild and Aided Wat
Lins' Men to Win Out-Thomas
Weakened and Was Replaced by
Ford.

It was enough to mako even saint
swear. AT least, such seems to be the
consensus of opinion in regard to yes
terday,s nine-round go at N1colet park
Lemons bunch came over to DO Things
and they went home done, and 1t was a
nice, brown doing When it was all over
and the millers had demonstrated that
their late winning streak was not nap
penstance, the delighted fans told the
waiting small boys on the street corners
that the score stood to ).
Watkins singled out Frosty Thomas
to do the nnystifying act and for five In
nings the miller star was In the ascen-
dant. At the sixth milestone the saints
united something in the way OF swat
fest and before any one knew just now
lit had happened, three Of the champions
had dashed madly across the plate ana
the Thomas reputation was somewhat
denied. Gene" Ford was appointed
chairman of the rescue league workers
and he ''done noble" for the last tour
innings. He was not unhittable. but the
visitors failed to get together at times
when hits meant runs.
Believing that well begun Is half
done" the home aggregation opened oper-
atoms in the first inning and before SEES
sions knew where he was going to land,
Maloney, Freeman, Greminger and
O'Leary had pulled off clever turn which
melted the Watkins heroes two counts.
One more was added in the second.
Nothing was doing in the batting depart
ment until the sixth, when the saints did
their dirty work Having suit. the millers
proceeded to follow their opponents lead,
and In the seventh the boys with the VIM
ming streak went to it like American vol
unteers to charge. Sessions helped the
good work along by passing three millers.
These tickets, together with hits by Free
man, Greminger and O'Leary, did the
business, and counted four runs, which
ended the tally-getting for the game.
While the visitors secured more hits
than did the home bunch. their b1ngles
were neither as hard nor as opportune
as those Of the Watkins contingent and
in the fielding department. Lemons pets
were outclassed by the millers, who were
on their toes all the way. Coulter's run
ming catch and the lightning work of the
miller infield were features which could
not be overlooked and which counted in
the final score. ..-

the boardbil Of w. N. Baine, the Indian
football player of the badger eleven last
year, that star player has refused to re-
turn to the university this fall. He came
here, he says, with the understanding that
his board was to be paid by the athletic
association, or that he should be furnished
easy work to pay for 1t.
Graduate Manager Fitzpatrick Is up
against it for good quarterback. He
realizes that If he fails to get a good man
for this position the team will be greatly
weakened. He left yesterday for Chicago
for the purpose Of looking up some willing
material, but his efforts doubtless will
prove futile. The football team will go
into training next Monday at Lake Wau-
besa, a summer resort lake. twelve miles
east of Madison. The early schedule OF

WITH THE ATHLETES OUT or DOORS
BELDEN'S HARD GO
WITH NORTHROP
Lightning Fast Work in Tennis
Tourney at Town and Coun-
try Club.

Several fast matches were witnessed by
the crowd Of 300 people who attended the
tennis tournament Of the Town and
Country club yesterday afternoon, note
worthy among them being the singles be-
tween G. Belden and l.. Northrop, in
which the former won out after struggle
thru three sets, by expert work in EACH
Ing almost impossible shots and in plac-
Ing his returns beyond the reach Of his
opponent.
In the doubles between Badly and Mat
teson against Jayne and Eaton, both sides
did phenomenal work in getting after balls
that passed them, returning them from
the end Of the court after a sharp sprint
from the net
The play in both singles and doubles
was spectacular at times but in the main
the games pursued an even tenor Of in
terest that held the attention Of the crowd
without racking it's nerves.
In the singles between G. Belden and L.
Northrop the latter made a determined
effort to down his opponent, making diff
cult strokes that apparently placed the
ball beyond the reach Of Belden's racket,
but in the majority of instances the latter
managed to connect with the ball in a
manner that placed the score on the other
side Of the sheet. Belden played wear
ing game, and at the end Of the second
set NorthrOp was very tired.
In the doubles between Northrop and
Werner against Thompson and Greer the
former won out by a hard contest, thru
three sets, 3-6, 63, 6-3. The winners Of
this match were then paired off agains.

spirits-Dan Smith as a Society
Leader-Musicians Scarce, but Cans
Is Expected by Every Train.

Last evening saw the conclusion Of the
first day in camp for the men who are
to battle on the gridiron for Minnesota
this season. The work for the day was
light but quite spirited, and plainly indl-
Gated that the boys are determined lot,
who will play hard as soon as they are
allowed to mix up matters.
The manner in which some of the new
men handled the ball was encouraging,
and the punting was strong for so early
in the season. A few of the men looked
q little weary after practice, but a swim
and good supper put all In excellent
spirits for the fun and dancing in the
evening.
Colonel Joyce Arrives.
Colonel Frank Joyce made twenty
three mile drive to visit the camp in the
evening. He has always been an enthu-
siastic Minnesota man, and he says he
has the football fever worse than ever
this year. Mr.. Joyce spent the evening
talking with the boys, and expressed him
self as pleased with the appearance of the
material on hand.
The evening steamer brought four more
men. Captain Strathern, who was de-
| tanned in Minneapolis for one day, was
the first man off the boat and was given
a royal welcome by the squad. Dekoyen
Hunter and smiling Bobby Marshall Of last
years squad came with strathern. A new
man by the name of Davis was the
fourth. Davis is heavyweight and has
had considerable experience in athletics
He received his early training in the Har.

New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service
New York, Aug. 26.-John T. Brush Of
the New York Nationals is determined
to break the Pulliam-Dreyfuss clique.
Brush has not looked with favor on many
Of Pulliam's orders this year, and while
he has not expressed himself openly as
being opposed to them, he and other mag
mates, it is believed, have arranged It
among themselves to prevent Pulliam's
reelection at the National league meeting
in December.
When a complaint was filed with Pull
liam against the conduct Of McGraw in
one Of the New York-Pittsburg games last
week, Dreyfuss persuaded Pulliam to put
McGraw on the bench for a few days, but
for the first time the threatening hand
of Brush began to manifest itself, and
Pulliam hastily wired to Umpire Emslie
in Chicago lifting the ban from McGraw's
suspension.
