London, Aug. 1S.-A Reuter- dis
patch from Brussels says:
"The seat of government has been
moved to Antwerp. Measures have
been taken for the defense of Brus-
sells because of the approach of Ger
man cavalry.
1T is expected that the legations
will follow the government to Ant
werp, but the French minister will
remain here, sending the counselor
to Antwerp to keep in touch with
the Belgian government.
GERMAN ATTACK REPULSED.
"The Soir says that according to
news which arrived Monday after
noon, and which is confirmed by
the war Office, the Belgian infantry,
in conjunction with the French cav
airy, have brilliantly repulsed a
German attack. The location of the
engagement is not mentioned"
'In a review of the military sit
uation the Temps points out that the
French troops cannot debouch on
the plain by the valley of the
Bruche, which is barred by the fort
ress at Moolsheim, in Alsace, twelve
miles southwest of Strassburg, but
says it has been necessary to occupy
the valley, as otherwise, it might be
utilized by the Germans.
MAsSING FORCES.
''The Temps suggests that the
fact that heavy artillery has been
found in that region may be con-
strued as indicating that the Ger
mans are massing troops behind the
Rhine, preparing to force the passes
of the Vosges mountains"
"The left wing of the Belgian
army, assembled in force to cover
Brussels, has advanced from Lou
vain to Beyard, in the direction of
Diest.
"The delay in the German attack
at this point is attributed to the
severe losses inflicted by the Bel
gians. There is no doubt also that
the reluctance of Austria to send
her promised quota of troops, in con-
sequence of Italy's attitude, and the
incipient anti-war movement in
Germany, have wrecked the German
plans and delayed the advance Of
the German emperor's troops"

A DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR.

"A CL al AIN.
A large company of ladies was de-
lightfully entertained Saturday af.
ternoon at the A. M. Potter home on
the north side, with Mrs. Potter and
her mother, Mrs. David Beach as
hostesses, and Mrs. B. S. Beach and
daughter, Miss Julia, of Des Moines,
as guests of honor.
Some sixty ladies gathered at the
home at four O'Clock and with So
cial conversation and general visit
ing the time quickly passed away.
At six o'clock a bountiful dinner,
was served in two courses. Mrs.
Potter was ably assisted in serving
by Mrs. w. J. Zitterell and several
other guests who are to be commend
ed for the expeditions serving of
such a large company.
Large bouquets of golden glow
placed here and there in the spac-
ious reception rooms We're the only
decorations.
The company was largely compos-
ed of mothers and daughters, many
of them old neighbors of the B. S.
Beach family, who certainly enjoy
ed this reunion. One seldom sees
in a company of this kind, so many
ladies of advanced years, and it was
a pleasure to all to behold them ap-
parently renew their youth, and en-
ter as heartily into the pleasures of
the occasion as did those of a later
generation.
Besides the guests of honor, the
following were ladies from out of
town: Mrs. Kate Lasher, New York
City; Miss Emma Ryan, Bath,
Maine; Mrs. r. E. Towle, Newton
vile, Mass; Mrs. r. w. Fullerton,
Boise, Idaho; Mrs. F. H. Alexander,
Kamrar.

London, Aug. ia Brussels
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
company says the French casualties
in the fighting between Namur and
Dinant were heavy, as the Germans
were strongly entrenched and their
artillery at the outset played great
havoc with the French.
The French wing at Dinant had
been badly cut up and nearly rout-
ed, when suddenly the strains of the
Marseillaise' resounded in the
French lines and the men rallied.
With splendid gallantry they charg-
ed, hurting themselves on the Ger
man troops, breaking through their
lines and putting them to flight.

TARRYTQWN. N Y, May ia.~--
When John u Rockefeller wakes up
during the night now and wants to
know whether the negro guards who
patrol the house are on duty. he has
no longer TO leave his bed and look
out of the window. He merely press
es button at the side Of his bed and
red white blue lights. which eneircie
the house, fash. This is the signal
for all of the guards to report by
pressing buttons, which are located on
the outside of the house. The results
are registered in Mr. Roekefeller's
room Formerly it was his custom to
open the window and ask: Are you
there ?'' of the guards. If Mr.. Rock
efelier happened to have a restless
night the guards are kept on the
jump.
Alarmed by the recent l. W. w.
demonstrations at his home and a the
Standard OH offices in New York. Mr..
Rockefeller has redoubled his pre-
cautions against intruders at night.
Where formerly there were four
guards there are eight now, and they
are locked inside OF the wall which
surrounds the residence. A similar
system has been Installed AT the home
of John u. Rockefeller. Jr.
