B0er W ar Spectacle.

The entire original BOer War spec
tacle. the feature of the St. Louis
Worlds Fair, and the largest, most
marvellous and realistic spectacle of
modern warfare ever produced in The
world, will give one performance in
Staunton, Saturday afternoon, next
April %.
The BOer War Company was formed
in South Africa early In February, 1904,
by Capt. Arthur w. Lewis, the Oiigi-
nator and general manager of the Com
pany, who was fortunately enough to
be able to induce one of the greatest of
all Boer Generals, the hero of Paarde-
berg, General Pet A. CroDjs to join,
and each and every one OF the six hun
dred men composing this small army,
half Boer and half British, we're first
compelled to prove that they had fought
for their respective country in the late
war.
A special ship was chartered to bring
the men and equipment to this coun-
try from Cape Town and the first per-
f0rmance was given at the st. Louis
Worlds Fair early in June, and thence
three times daily until the Fair was
over. Eighty per cent. of the visitor
to the World g Fair saw the BOer War
and loaded their treasury to the ex-
tent of nearly one million dollars. The
Boer War spectacle was given in New
Orleans during the Mardi Gras this
season, with enormous success, many
thousands of people fiocking to the
city who would not otherwise have
attended the festival, and although
two and three performances were Civ
en- daily, thousands were turned away.
The performance is given in the open
air, covered grand stand is erected in
a few hours capable of seating twelve
thousand people.
The first part of the programme con-
sists of the Introduction of the British
and Boer fighting units. The second
part of the programme consists of
thrilling and realistic reproductions OF
famous battles of the Angl0-Boer War.

That 81, 700,0 900 check which SO many
thought Senator Martin had gotten
for Virginia was really for So. so only.
We thought it was for about $l2, and
so stated last week, we were just So sc
too high. Possibly some officer in
Washington Is pointing with pride y
to his good work in saving Uncle Sam
81, 7O0,O 900 which would have been paid
to Virginia had not that faithful Off
cial established that Virginia really
owed the Government that sum and
had her settle. We trust that some
body will get at least S. so worth Of
just praise for the effort, but it looks
to us like trying to make a mountain
out of a mole hill, a sort of an attempt
to feed the public on a wind pudding
