CHIEFTAIN LEADS MINE
RIOT IN SOUTH AFRICA
Black Ruler Objects to Domina-
ton of White Man

JOHANNESBURG, Aug. 27.-An in
teresting report on the circumstances
attending a recent riot at the Premier
mine, in which six natives were killed,
has been presented by j. Innes, the
magistrate appointed to inquire into
the cause of the outbreak.
In all, the mine gives employment
to 1880 blacks, including $500 Mos
hesh, or British Basutos, and 5000
of the inquiry, says the report, circles
round the personality of the Moshesh
Basuto, who is much appreciated by
his employers on account of his phys
ique and intelligence. He looks upon
himself as the only black man in South
Africa who has not accepted the DOM
ination of the white man. BefSre his
fellow native laborers he adopts a
domineering and masterfu1 attitude
and carries a fine conceit of himself
which he takes no pains to conceal
from his white or black associates in
work.
The Transvaal &asuto, to whom the
Moshesh have applied the Objectionable
generic term of slave, looks upon the
MosheSh Basuto as an interloper
Wherever the Moshesh are employed
in large numbers with other native
tribes the latter invariably make COM
mon cause against the former, and the
Premier mine is no exception to the
rule. The trouble arose through the
natives being given the option of turn
ing out for an extra shift on account
of previous breakdown of the gear.
1t was apparently the readiness of the
Transvaal BasutoS to turn out which
incensed the masterful Moshesh who
for some reason objected to work, and
regarded the others as blacklegs.

NURSES HEALTH BOOK
RECEIPTS SHOW 5 P'S

A trained nurse gave TO a mother
what she called her five P's" for keep
ing children we'll Here they are:
Pure milk. pure air, plenty of sleep,
proper clothing and perfect cleanliness.
Those few rules cover most of the
necessities in hygienic child rearing.
The Importance of pure milk can not
be overestimated. Except for infants.
cows milk should answer every need.
but mothers should know where it
comes from and how it is cared for
after it enters the house The best
milk is quickly contaminated il left
without cover in a hot place.
The strongest children are those who
live most in the open air. Maps in day
time can be taken in sheltered porch.
Well wrapped a child does not take
cold. even in cold weather. At night
every window should be open wide. See
that enough bed clothing is supplied,
or colds may result.
Plenty of sleep is essential Babies
should be put TO bed by o'clock each
evening and sleep through until the
next morning at T. A nap during the
day should be given
Not all children are amenabLe to such
rules; but they should be trained into
better sleeping habits
Proper clothing includes that which
keeps a child warm without overhead
ing. Less bundling is thought neces-
sary than formerly. Wool should be
worn next the skin for the first two
years, but il should be light weight
Perfect cleanliness IS a matter Of
daintiness aS.weu as hygiene. Nothing
is more shocking than a dingy infant

SWEDEN'S MINISTER TO
WASHINGTON RESIGNS
Former Salvation Army Leader
Retires to Private Life

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 27.-Herman de
Lagercrantz, the representative of
Sweden at Washington since 1907, has
resigned, according to an announce
ment made here today, to look after his
personal affairs in Sweden, where he
has large interests.
The retiring minister's diplomatic
services are highly regarded here, and
there is no foundation for the. report
that his resignation was caused by at
tacks made on him by the Swedish
American press.
De Lagercrantz was born in 1859, the
son OF a councillor of state. He be-
came an officer in one of the crack
Swedish regiments, but resigned his
command in 1889 to devote his life to
the Salvation Army, and with his wife
went to London, where. for several
years, they worked in the slums On
becoming colonel he was transferred to
India. There, after serving two years,
he was attacked by typhus and had to
return to Sweden.
Soon afterward he severed his con-
nection with the Salvation Army, and
in January, 1907, he was appointed
minister at Washington in succession
to NJ. Grip,
The departure of De Lagercrantz
from the United States on a six months
leave of absence in October, 1907, gave
rise to considerable comment in diplo-
matte circles. 1t was even rumored
that the Swedish minister had become
persona non grata, but denial was at
once given TO this at the White House

WOMAN BOOK MAKER HAS
FORSAkEN RACETRACK
Pioneer of New Career Was a
Stage Favorite

LONDON, Aug. 27.-Much has been
read of late but nothing seen of the
lady book maker" at race meetings
But she came as a surprise to San
down. The pioneer of this new career
for women is a charming little woman
who was at one time a shining light
in the theatrical world, and who SUBJ
sequently married a prominent sports
man, now dead.
She seemed greatly to enjoy her ex-
perience when she stood on the as
phalt between the members stand and
the lawn and did a fiourishing trade
Women surged round to make their
bets and a few daring men hazarded
to approach her with due Difference
The first woman book maker is
very dainty person, like bit of Dres-
den china, says one who had the pleas
ure of placing a bet with her-and
losing-with small. piquant features
and brown hair slightly tinged with
gray. She wore very up to date
black dress of clinging cut and a black
hat fnassed with plumes. A knot of
lilies ornamented her corsage, as well
as a rope of pearls, and her book"
was toylike thing bound in luxurious
fashion.

DR.. JOHNSON'S HOME is
FALLING INTO DECAY
Only Makeshift Repairs Keep
House From Ruin

LONDON, Aug. 27.-American visitors
who usually follow Herr Baedeker to
Dr. Samuel Johnson's house in Cough
square have a rare opportunity just
now to see English folk snubbing the
shade of one of their greatest men,
After all the fuss that was made last
year at the Johnson bicentenary one
would have thought that English peo-
pie were all Johnsonians and had moth
ing better to do than treasure his
memory
A wholesome reminder that England
has too many live great men to bother
about dead one meets them at Cough
square. The house there, in which
Johnson compiled his dictionary and
spent some of his bitterest days, is
in the hands Of workmen, who are not
by some chance breaking il up, but are
really making some repairs to prevent
IT falling down. These repairs are
being done in a rough, makeshift way,
and the mutilated rooms and stairs are
being left to fall into further decay
The old superlease has run out. and
all the various little companies and
agents that lived here have gone else

easygoingness which are at the same
time has strength and his weakness.
1t was at the beginning of a session
and things were generally bad for the
government. IT was possible that any
day and at any hour of the day the
ministry and the Irish party might
come into collision and that the gov
ernment might be defeated, the Tory
party then being called into power.
Imagine the temptation of such a
situation to number of ambitious and
eager men, anxious for office and power
and for the splendid salaries which
England gives to her ministers, and
you can understand how great was the
pressure on Balfour to force the fight
ing and TO take every chance of driving
q tottering government to its doom.
TORIES READY FOR REVOLT
But to accomplish this the presence
and leadership of Balfour were neces-
sary. but he waved all these tempta-
tions aside, as he was ordered by his
doctor a change of climate, and off he
went to Cannes with his golf clubs and
his place in the house of commons did
not see him for weeks. Members of
his party muttered all sorts of impre-
cations upon him under their breath.
The Morning Post, the chief organ of
the protectionist section, shouted in
favor Of an open and prompt revolt.
But there was no revolt. Distrusted
by lprotectionists, criticised by ardent
spirits, hated by some of the follow
eFs of Chamberlain for having dis
placed Chamberlain, Balfour remains
the leader, rising every day higher
above the heads of all OF them.
They believe that he takes good care
to keep everybody else down; that if
he scars much above them it is be-
cause he will not allow them to try
out their wings. He certainly talks
great deal-makes speeches upon
every imaginable kind of subject and
on every occasion that presents itself
and my charitable Interpretation of this
matter is that he feels that nobody else
can do il.

LIVENING TIRED CATS
A SHATTERED DREAM
Become Lively Enough at Sight
of Birds

Cats are ungrateful creatures. Not
satisfied with a cool, clean, comforta BILE
summer home, they must have special
forms of entertainment to keep them
from dying of ennui in the hot weather
Such has been the experience of off,
ecials of the Bide-a-Wee home at it's
farm in Harrington, n. j. DR.. Frank
Campbell, veterinary of the home told
a reporter for the New York World of
some of his plans for the amusement
of aristocratic cats which had become
bored with prosaic life.
Many wealthy persons turn their
valuable cats and dogs over to us to
keep for them in the hot weather" said
Doctor Campbell. In every case we
send them out TO the farm at Harring-
ton, where they will be more comfort
able than here in the city.
"A cat is a delicate, sensitive crea-
ture, with nowhere near the vitality of
a dog. We have been very much trou-
bled by cats dying of homesickness, and
1 devised what 1 thought was a good
scheme for their musement-some-
thing to keep them active and make
them forget their cares and worries.
II had an apple tree about 90 feet
high entirely inclosed with wire net
ting, and then made a runway of net
ting six feet high and five feet wide
around the base of the tree. There
were sparrows, robins, woodpeckers
thrushes and two scarlet tanagers. be-
sides two canaries in cages, which had
been given us to take care of for the
summer l wanted the cats to have
plenty of variety and as much color as
possible to attract their attention The
tree was we'll equipped with drinking
cups fastened to the limbs, and we fed
the birds royalty.
THE cats were put in the runway
and kept there about a week, but in
stead of proving a benefit to them IL
was form of cruelty and had to be
discontinued. The flying birds, so near
and yet so far. drove them almost crazy
and I don't believe one of the cats had
a wink of sleep for the whole-week.
There is no doubt the scheme was
success as far as ending the cats home
sickness was concerned. 1t brought
back their appetites, too. and made
them ravenously hungry. But even
though a cat can get along with little
or no sleep at night, he must make up
for it by sleeping in the day. In this
case the cats could not sleep at all The
birds fascinated them.
II had planned to screen at least six
more trees and l had also worked out
a scheme of confining about 500 rats in
a concrete trough and letting the cats
watch them. But I did not carry this
out when the other plan failed to work.
$50 unless / can think out another
scheme for the amusement of the
homesiek cats I am afraid they will
have to take their chances of dying
from ennui and heart failure"

PORTABLE VILLA is
CARRIED BY INFANTA
Eulalie of Spain Avoids Crowded
Summer Resort
Especial Gable 10 The Call

PARIS, Aug. 27.-The Infanta Eulalie
OF Spain has found the best method of
avoiding the strenuous cares of the
average crowded summer resort She
has had a portable villa constructed
which she carries about with her. At
present she has pitched her tent in a
lonely spot called Lindemere, not far
from Cherbourg.
King Alfonso's aunt has likewise pro-
vided herself with four fierce watch
dogs, and none but few very intimate
friends are ever invited to the villa.
The infanta has not been so much in
evidence during the last year, probably
because of the hint given her by the
Spanish ambassador that her indiscrim-
mate association with foreigners OF all
nations. especially Americans of doubt
full social standing. was displeasing to
her august relations.
