An American citizen. the representa-

correspondents on the London Times

Any attempt on the part Of Russia To

People Who Start Up New
Colonies.

There is no question in South Africa
of suppression of the language of the
people. The language of the Boer
people of South Africa is patois
called Taal, based on the seventeenth
century Holland Dutch, with a mix
ture of many strange words, Kaffir
and English, and with the omission
of most grammatical infections. In
that happy tongue you are permitted
to say Il is" 1t is needless to say
there is no literature in this patois,
as there is in Hollander Dutch of this
century. The official recognition of
Hollander Dutch dates from 1882 in
the Cape Colony, and is a result of a
political ganda of the Afrikap-
der Bund, says the Pail Mall Gazette.
1t was openly announced and hailed as
the thin end of the wedge" toprevent
the fusion of the Boer and British
strains of the European people, and to
drive the British into the sea.
The weld Boer does not understand
Hollander Dutch; he dislikes the Hol-
lander outlander only a degree less
than the British outlander. or than the
French, Italian, German or any other
outlander. He only hears the Hol-
lander tongue, OF, rather, the seven

Mrs. Maybrick Is Insane.

Lendon, Aug. 3.-Friends and
relatives of Mrs. Florence Maybrick
will be shocked to learn that while
they are di lily awaiting her arrival
in the United States she is still in
France and in a condition more pit
liable than has ever been imagined.
Mrs. Maybrick is how with her
mother, Baroness D. Rcques, In Ru-
en-, France. 1t can be stated on alb.
solute authority that her long i'm.
prisonment has now affected her
mind. She is guarded from the
public gaze with the utmost care,
net even the servants of the house
being allowed to see her. But it is
known beyond doubt that she is
so mentally prostrated that her
mother feels the greatest alarm con-
cel ming her. Indeed, it is extreme
ly doubtful whether she will ever
recover.
The long strain of Imprisonment,
coupled with the nervous tension
due to her knowledge that her
friends were working in her behalf,
proved in the end too much for her
to bear, and when at last, after
years of waiting and suffering. she
|. armed she was again to become a
free woman, the shock proved too
much, and she collapsed, both men,
tally and physically.
Baroness de Roques, who has sac
ri6ced her life and her fortune to
the object of securing the release of
her daughter, is terribly affected.
The physical and mental wreck
that has been handed over to her
by the British Home Office is not
her daughter Of olden days, but a
poor, shattered. fragile creature,
with all trace of humanity stamped
out.
The baroness has bad two expert
alienists in attendance. They have
expressed the fixed opinion thai
Mrs. May brick must bs taken to ar
asylum for the insane before she
can recover. Even then they ex
press doubt as to the outcome. Ths
woman has no delusions seemingly
but she is absolutely dazedand pas
sive. Her appearance is pitiable il
the extreme.
There are times when she does
not recognize even her mother, anC
it is impossible to arouse her to &C
tion. She takes not the slightes
interest in her surroundings. Sh'
has been buried from the world s.
long that she has forgotten all abou
it, and looks around as one in
dream.
| All of her American plans ar
upset. There is no hope OF the un
fortunate woman being taken acros
the ocean in the near future, ifever
