S'r Henry Irving has been repeating at the London Lyceum his remarkable dual impersonation of Lesurques and Dubosc In "The Lyons Mall" with all his old vigor. XXX Rehearsals arc going on in nearly all the 'New York theaters at which there are no regular performances. Most of the small halls along Sixth avenue and upper Broadway also are engaged by managers, who are training the minor members of their companies for next season's work. On the larger Stages the choruses to be used In the comic operas and musical comedies are being rehearsed morning, afternoon and night. William Winter, the dean of the New York dramatic critics, who has charge of the column devoted to the theaters in the Tribune, has this to say of "Are You a Mason?" a new farce: "It relates to the proceedings of certain husbands and matrimonial suitors, who. In the clandestine pursuit of vicious pleasure, have deceived their domestic womankind by pretending to be members of the faternlty of Masons. Analysis of it would be a waste of time. It Is without form, and it Is void of everything except vulgarity. With that, however, it retkr. Its principal Incident Is the introduction of a man. dressed in feminine apparel, into the society of several girls, who, supposing him to be the natural daughter of their licentious and disreputable father (a fat old blackguard, who has been paying his salacious attentions to the putative females), fondle and kiss him, and thl3 is supposed to be farcical humor. Mr. Leo Dietrichstein embodied this masquerading Importer, and was peculiarly offensive to good taste. No question of acting Is suggested by plays of this description. A squad of German stable boys engaged in pelting each other with bologna sausages would present a spectacle Just as Important and Just as mirthful as the performance given by the actors whom Messrs. Rich and Harris have assembled to make this dirty and degrading exhibition. The house was crowded and It often resounded with shouts of laughter, but the people who can laugh at such feculent folly are. If possible, even more contemptible than the people who present it. Our 8 tage has fallen very low. If tuch stuff as this can be tolerated, and in a theater bearing the honored name of Wallick." PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mr. J. M.

A shipment of 1,200 Angora goats (110 bucks and balance ewes), mostly all registered, reached the Union Stockyards yesterday from Texas on their way to the mountains of Pennsylvania. These goats are used In the West for their meat, which Is considered as good, if not better, than mutton. Their pelts sell for from $8 to $10 each, properly tanned. Each shears from eight to twelve pounds of mohair each year, whih Is of a much finer quality than sheep's wool. This makes them very valuable for farmers. The shipment Is In charge of Frank Reynolds, general stock agent of the Pennsylvania line in Indianapolis. They were fed and rested at the Union Stockyards yesterday and taken east last night. There will be other shipments to follow. KETCHAM A CANDIDATE. He WnntH to Succeed Judge Woods Juile linker nt Goshen. Judge John H.

GERMAN PARK BRILLIANT FESTIVAL C.IVEX FOR TEACHERS I1Y THE MAEWEIlCHOll. Place Seemed Very Far Away from Dull City Discussions of the Convention. The crowd that went to the German Park last 'night to attend the Maennerchor's reception for the delegates to the convention of the National German-American Teachers' Association discovered how imposing id the trackage of tho Indianapolis Streetrailway Company. The south entrance to the park was closed, and the cars ran around to the north gate. Because of the darkness the people on the cars could not see the houses on either side of the track, and this lengthened the distance In the Imagination. The cars turned again and again, and sped through meadows and little groves. At Intervals the passengers could see across the country the glimmer of the lights of the park, and at these intervals they thought their, destination was at hand, but the cars would turn again and the lights would disappear. Finally the cars stopped at the entrance to the park, and through the gate the passengers saw a brilliant festival. The lawn between the clubhouse and the pavilion was covered by an arbor constructed of stringers of electric lights; so many lights there were that the place was radiant. Under the arbor were tables and around these sat men and women In their gayest summer attire. The City Band, under the direction of R. A. Miller, played in the bandstand. The chorus of the Maennerchot alternated with the band. Ihe decorations of the clubhouse, the dark green of the trees, the white electric light and a circle of Japanese lanterns gave the scene varied color. Because of the long ride to the park it seemed far removed from the dull gray city. At the meeting of the Teachers Association at the German House this morning officers will be elected and the place of next year'a convention will be selected. It Is probable that Milwaukee will be chosen. To-night a kommers will be given for the visitors at the German House. NEWSPAPERS IN THE SCHOOL. During the discussion at yesterday morning's session Prof. Carl Otto Schoenrich, of Baltimore, advocated the reading of the dally newspapers in the public schools. "One of the principal objects of the school," he said, "must be to teach the pupils how to learn, and therefore they ought to be taught how to learn from the greatest and most general educator of our time the press. Most all of them read the newspapers at home, but there are newspapers and newspapers, and there is a great difference between keeping the young people intelligently informed of what is going on from day to day In the great world outside of the schoolroom and the mere discussion of inane gossip that is of neither present nor future benefit. Let us lead our pupils to discriminate and acrjulra a taste for the reputable dally newspaper, which is not only a faithful contemporary historian but also the dally repository of the world's work in whatsoever field it may be engaged." Prof. G. E. Karsten, head of the German department at Indiana University, said it Is more important for the student to acquire the spirit of German culture than the German grammar; that what the students want Is thoroughness and understanding rather than speed and facility. He called attention to a society In Lelpslc which brings language students of different countries Into relation with each other for the great good they can derive from writing to each other. WILL KEEP CLOSE WATCH. The "Inmniilty Trnit" Will Not Tic Able to Do Much Harm. It is announced that the investigation of the "insanity trust" by the Board of Health will be open to the public. There will be no regular meeting of the board until next month, but It is expected that a special session will be called for the investigation. In the meantime all the Insanity commissions will be watched from every quarter. Prosecutor Ruckelshaus says that the grand jury will take notice of every insanity commission held and see that there Is no violation or further abuse of the law. Deputy Attorney General Hadley is still searching the papers in the county clerk's office and believes that evidence will yet be found that will bring about a conviction for conspiracy to extort fees against some of the members of the trust. The committee representing the Marion County Medical Society will not make Its report for two weeks on account of the absence of one of its members. fanne of Collum' Death. The verdict of Coroner Drayton. In the death of Mark Cullom, who died In the rear of D.'i East Washington street Thursday without medical attention, was that death came from acute congestion of the brain. which was probably induced by excessive use of liquor and the heat. He had taken a dose of Squlbb's compound tincture of opium and chloroform, and that is thought also to have hastened bl death. Under normal conditions the doe would not have been dangerous but may be so la cases where liquor Is used to excess.

REFORMATORY INMATES

DEFECTS FOIMKI) OCT 11 Y SECRE TARY OF ClIAIMTIlis HOARD. Statistics Concerning: the Last Fire Hundred Received nt the Inatltutlon Up to June 1, lf01. The secretary of the Indiana Board of State Charities presented to the National Educational Association at Detroit some interesting statements regarding some of the defects of the inmates of the Indiana Reformatory at Jeffersonville. That institution receives those males who are between sixteen and thirty years and have been sentenced to prison. A short study was made of the last five hundred Inmates received up to and Including May 31. 1301. The facts brought out are said to verify those of previous investigations in a striking way. The statement says: "It is generally recognized that the family relations of over half of the inmates of our reformatory institutions have been disturbed. One or both parents are dead or they live apart. The youths have been deprived of home :rainlng. The largest proportion are notably deficient in education. Of the rive hundred studied, sixty-six, or 13.2 per cent., are reported as Illiterate; 251. or 50.2 per cent., had not reached the fourth grade in the public schools, and but twenty-six. or 5.2 per cent., had reached the high school. Two hundred and eightytwo of all ncted were natives of Indiana. The proportion of illiteracy was less in these by almost one-half, and a greater number had passed the elementary school work. On the contrary, a slightly less proportionate number had reached the high school. LACK OF PHYSICAL TRAINING. "The stooping shoulders, awkward arms and shambling gait of these young men indicate plainly a lack of physical training. Four hundred and six, or S1.2 per cent., claim to have no trades. In these busy times, when there Is a demand for workmen, 2C2, or per cent., state they were unemployed when the crime was committed. Evil associates lead to bad habits. While it Is not claimed that those shown were the cause of crime, it is interesting to note their relationship to It. Three hundred and twelve, or C2A per cent., use liquor; 374. or 71.S per cent., smoke cigarettes; 4n0, or Sl.S per cent., u.-e tobacco in some form. "On the contrary It is shown that they have not been to any very great extent, under those influences which are considered helpful. Many have been dt.-rived of proper home lnilucnces. Two Hundred and clghty-slx, or 57.2 per cent., have not attended Sunday school. Only ne of the five fiundred examined claimed .o have beonged to the Y. M. C. A. "The offenses of these persons may be classified as crimes against persons and crimes against property. It will be seen that 88 per cent, of them fall under the latter class. "It will be observed that there is something notably lacking In these young men. They lack home training, mental training, physical training and manual training. Tpe lack of religious training has also been noted. "With the light we have, the great need Is for the prevention of crime. Efforts In that direction will be most fruitful. 'An ounce of prevention Is worth a pound of cure.' When the school, the church and the home shall fully v.nderstarl the facts and the urgent need for renewed effort along every line that may possibly be used to save the boys and girls, the figures will have a different story to tell.

The company will maintain a branch ofilce at Cleveland, O., but the main office will be at Remington. The capital stock is 510,000, and tho directors are Robert Parker, Isaiah W. Newcomer and Robert A. Hamilton. The company announces that It will construct and equip steam and electric railways, water and electric plants, etc. The Town Talk Milling Company, of Aurora, Dearborn county, incorporated with a capital of $10.000. The directors are John T. Sheriff, William Stratton and George H. Lewis. The Aetna Cabinet Company, of 129 East Market street, this city, notified the secretary of state that It has increased its capital from J3.000 to $25.0). Under the foreign incorporation law the Brunswlck-Balke-Collender Company, of Chicago, filed articles yesterday, stating that 518. 750 of Its capital of $1,500,000 Is represented In Indiana. The resident agent is Fred Rieht, Indianapolis. GAME AND FISH LAWS. Deputy Earle Return from Northern Part of the State. Deputy Game Warden E. E. Earle returned yesterday from the northern part of the State, where he, In company with several other deputies, have been making extra efforts to enforce the new fish and game laws. Special attention has been directed to the pollution of streams by the strawboard and nitroglycerine works. Many of them have licenses to turn their refuse Into the streams, and by reason of suh licenses are beyond the reach of the law. Several factories have been compelled to discontinue the dumping of refuse into streams. Mr. Karle says the deputies are being greatly bothered by residents of the Stata making application for hunting permits. These permits, ho says, ar- required only of nonresidents of the State, with the exception that between Oct. 1 and Nov. 10 residents of Indiana are required to have Permits to hhoot squlrrrls and water fowl. These permits are issued only by the chief game warden, Z. T. Sweeney, of Columbus. Ind. They are free, and r.o deputy has authority to issue them. Amusing" Ilenorta Mnile, Some of the reports of the police to the superintendent are hurriedly made and occasionally are full of information, although not grammatically correct. Yesterday tho following report was made by two of the

bicycle police. "Call to News alley. Reported boys shooting craps. They all ran when we arrived. You could not catch them with a pack of hounds." Several days ago the following report caused much amusement: "Called to North New Jersey street. Reported a crazy man. Found a man in his bed sound asleep In a drunken stupor."

CRUELTY TO A CHILD. Complaint Made to Justice Hawkins in West Indianapolis. In Justice Hawkins's court in West Indianapolis yesterday several women made complaint of Mrs. Lulu Bryant and her manner of punishing an adopted child. The deputy prosecutor wrote out an affidavit and left it for a man named Hart, who had witnessed the punishment, to sign. The procedure as described by the women brought to Justice Hawkins and the prosecutor knowledge of a most novel method. The child, who is but three and a half years of age. was first whipped, then an apron was tied over Its head and It was put into a high chair. The chair was then placed about a foot from the wall and tipped forward so that the child's head rested against the wall. The child was also tied to the chair. It was kept in that fosition for about ten minutes, so the inormants said. "BORE" OF THE ST. JOHN WONDERFUL TIDAL PIIEXOMEXON L THE BAY OF Fl'XDV. Reversing Falls at the Suspension Drldse, Running Up or Down as the Tide Serves Other Wonders. New York Herald. Every schoolboy has heard of the Bay of Fundy and its remarkable tides. But when he gets out of his geography it Is only on rare occasions that he sees any reference to the subject. Yet in the Bay of Fundy, almost at our very doors, may be witnessed some of the most phenomenal tidal manifestations in the world. It is not as if you had to devote extraordinary study or to go up there with a microscope to see these phenomena. Go to the Bay of Fundy and they are patent on all sides in the wonderful cliff carving on the Island of Grand Manan, which liesat the mouth of the bay, between Maine and Nova Scotia; opposite Eastport, where on Campobello island they have worn away a huge rock to the shape of a "friar's head;" almost anywhere in the vast difference between the water marks on the various wharves of high and low tide; In the land of Longfellow's. Aca'dlans, in the broad sweeps of dyke lands rich alluvial intervale Over which the waters of the bay occasionally are allowed to flow by means of flood gates; but most notable of all In the wonderful Reversing Falls of the St. John river, near St,. John, N. B., and in the famous Bore, or tidal wave, at Moncton, N. B. Startling, indeed, are the statistics regarding the tidal rise, and fall of the Bay of Fundy, but not more startling than the Reve.-slng Falls or the MBore." But first to the statistics. At Grand Manan the tidal rise and fall is from twelve to fifteen feet; as you go up the bay it increases. At Lubec and Eastport it reaches twenty feet; at St. John from twenty-four to thirty feet, while at Moncton. where the "Bore'' rushes around the bend of the Petitcodlac river, the tide must have risen seventy feet above sea level in order to reach that point on the river, let alone to expend its last gathering energy in a wave which sweep, up the river from shore to shore. Another indication of the vastness of the Fundy tides is seen in the Cobfquld river on the Nova Scotlan shore, wnere there is a distance of twelve miles between high and low water mark, o that it is possible to run vessels far up this river on the flood, leave them high and dry between tides, and repair them as if in dry dock. "BORE" OR TIDAL WAVE. It has been my good fortune to witness several of the most remarkable tidal phenomena of the Bay of Fundy. To me the most lmpre?slve of these always will be the Reversing Falls of St. John, a phenomenon which hardly seems credible until actually seen. But as the "Bore," at Moncton, is the most widely known tidal exhibition connected with the Bay of Fundy I will describe that first. To begin with, let me dispel any Illusion which may have bt-en caused by the statement that the tidal rise at Moncton Is seventy ten. Thi does not man that the "Bore" Is seventy feet high, but that to reach Moncton at all the tide mubt have come up seventy feet from the sea level. The day I saw the "Bore" I reached the point of view a few minutes before the phenomenon was expected. Th-re was not the slightest suggtstlon of any approach of tide. The river was a broad stretch of ooze, with a narrow, rnuUdy rent in the middle. These ooze stretches are locally known as the "flats" or "quicksands." At certain points a thin crust form or them, where one can drive or walk rapidly. Were you to stand still, however, yuu would begin to sink In less than a minute, and if you cank only above your ankles the ooze beneath the crust is so ulcky that you could be extricated only with great difficulty. As I was looking out upon those broad stretches of mud a river without waterthere was a distant roar, and suddenly around the bend of the river, a short distance below Moncton, there swept a muddy wave, some five fett high. I should say. whose crrst overhung, but never broke.

Pas't the wharf it surged, and as I gazed out to see what it had left in its track saw a series of muddy undulations known as the "working of the quicksands." and a few minutes afterward that stretch of ooze from shore to shore was converted into a smoothly but rapidly running river, it is considered great sport by the dwellers along the shore to launch a boat upon the tide which follows upon the wake of the "Bore" and be carried up the river without doing anything except steering, and then come down on the ebb. The force of the "Bore" is very great. Vessels at Moncton always must moor so that the wharves completely protect them. A vessel, the stern of which protruded beyond the wharf, was torn from her moorings by the "Bore," her anchor cable was snapped, her bow smashed out. and she herself carried up under a bridge, and her masts broken to flinders and all this in a river which a few minutes before had been nothing but glistening mud. I was told that a French Canadian who was upset in the wake of the "Bore," and could touch bottom nevertheless, was carried five miles up the river before he could gain a firm footing. The "Bore" is most effective on quiet, moonlight nights, when its roar can be heard far down the river and Its angry crest seen glittering in the white light. The explanation of the "Bore" seems to be that the river broadens out considerably below the bend, and that when the swift tide Is contracted between the narrow shores of tho bend, the waters become heaped up, and with their own Impetus advance like a solid wall. FALLS THAT REVERSE. Imagine a perfectly placid surface of water, so placid that it mirrors all the surrounding shores, suddenly converted into a raging torrent and tumbling waterfall. Go to St. John, N. B., cross to the Carleton shore, walk a short distance along the latter and you need not imagine this phenomena. You can see it with your own eyes if you reach the spot Just before the change of the tide. The St. John river, or, rather, the harbor, contracts here to a beautiful rocky gorge, spanned by two handsome suspension bridges. Above this gorge the river broadJ ens out again. But during the twenty-four hours there are only lour Intervals of twenty minutes each when shipping can pass through the gorge. On each change of tide there is at slack water a period of twenty minutes during which the water in the gorge is on a level with that of the harbor and the river and perfectly placid. During these twenty minutes the shipping hurries through. Suddenly, without the slightest warning, without so much as a tremble or quiver of the surface, a streak of white Hashes across it, and a second later a roaring waterfall and cataract is pitching headlong Into the harbor from under tho bridges, if the tide is running out, and into the river above if the tide be on the Hood. Such are the Reversing Pralls of the St. John river. I doubt if a more dramatic change occurs with such unvarying regularity anywhere else in nature. It is made all the more impressive by the beauty of the landscape. The suddenness with which this landscape, as reflected in the placid water, disappears is like Hie ruthless smashing of a mirror. The Reversing Falls are caused by the difference in level between the harbor and the river above the gorge, the natural level of the river being some twelve feet lower than that of the harbor. The incoming tide rushes through the gorge until it has filled up the river to a level with the harbor, the flood then heaping itself up upon the river. Then, when the tide has emptied itself out of the harbor sufllclently. the heaped up waters of the river come flashing through the gorge. So great is the tidal rise and fall in the Bay of Fundy and so swift the tidal currents In places that In deep water the buoys swing to from sixty to one hundred fathoms of cable, and as buoys swinging to such long cables are apt to shltt position the length of the cables is specified in the notices to mariners. On the Nova Scotlan shore of the bay are the rich lowlands of the old Acadlans made famous by the "Evangeline" of LonKfellow. There one still can see the name system of diking which close when the tide comes In, but open on the ebb, thus draining these rich alluvial meadows. At certain periods, when after long cultivation these meadows become less fertile, the aboideaux are opened, the flood covers the land, and the sediment left bv a single tide suffices to fertilize the district for yeirs The most noted Intervals, a reach of wavy green fringed by the blue waters of the bay. who?e tides, having created It. continue fertilizing It. is the Grand Pre, on the Basin of Mlr.as, where Longfellow laid the scenes of "Evangeline." There is th old village of Grand Pre. the dark rol headland of Blomidon, the old French willows nnd the ancient well and the dikes. In this district is the Avon river, a mere ooze at low tide, but gladdening the landscape with its sparkling waters on the flood. It was the Avon of which Charles Dudley Warner remarked: "1 never knew before how much water adds to a river. I should think it would be confusing to dwell by a river that firt runs one way and then the other and then vanishes altogether." The tidal phenomena of the Bay of Fundy are explained by the peculiar troughlike shape of the bay. As it narrows from tho broad reach between Cape Sable, Nova Scotia, and the coast of Maine the waters heap up upon themselves. This simple theory stems to be borne out by the increasing rise and fall of the tide toward the various heada of the bay. which are even more narrow and troughlike, and thus repeat the tidal phenomena on a t-teadlly growing scale until we reach the slxiy square miles of mud flats at low water at the head of Mlr.as basin, the Reversible falls of the St. John river and the InrushIr.g tidal "bore" at Moncton. ADVICE OF A B0 EE. Profltnble tu Re Heeded ti llntti Rrltiwh nnd Doer. Boston Herald. Under the title, "From Boer to Boer and Englishmen," Paul M. Botha, former member of the Orange Free State Folksraad for Kroonstadt. has written, and his son has translated from the Dutch Into Er.gllsh, an exceedingly forcible review of the South African situation. Mr. Botha, as hi name Indicates, Is a Boer, and one of long dehtent. His father abandoned a flourishing farm In the Caje Colony In consequence of distrust of England, and young Botha, as he was then, being only five years old, was one of thofc who took part in the so-called Great Trek. That he has tho right from blood ties and long association to rpeak of, and give counsel to. his countrymen, no one can think of denying, and it is interest

V i i 4 4 i ing, therefore, to note that he was from the firt opposed to the war that has devastated his county, and before it broke out felt confident that. If it occurred, th f'olitlcal independence of the Boer repubics wt ild come to an end. We have felt all along, and have not hesitated to express the opinion, that this was a controversy in which both sides were in the wrong, and one which might have been avoided if the combatants had clearly foreseen what was to result from their quarrels. Rut Mr. Botha, with his long knowledge through association with the government of the Orange Free State. Is also of the opinion that both parties have been in the wrong; but he carries back the wrong-doing to years bt-yond the negotiations which preceded the outbreak of hostilities. He finds fault with the English that they have not pursued a settled, consistent policy in their treatment of South Africa. At one time the Orange Fre State was declared British territory, at another time it was abandoned. Sin Garnet, now Lord. Wolseley annexed the Transvaal, declaring that "the rivers will sooner run back In their course than that England will give up the Transvaal." But after Majuba. th English Ministry abandoned that country. The slavery question was handled witb great Ignorance of the circumstances surrounding the case, and England failed to carry out effectively her promises of compensation to those whose slaves were emancipated. These and other instances of a fluctuating policy greatly encouraged the belief that the Boers had only to assert themselves to successfully carry through, any plan upon which their minds were et. Mr. Botha represented what may be termed the conservative element in the Orange Free State. He was a friend and admirer of President Brand, who was instrumental in securing peace and prosperity for the citizens of the Orange Free State, and was also an advocate of Mr. J. G. Eraser, who proposed to continue President Brand's policy, but who was defeated at the polls by president Steyn. Mr. Botha asserts that the war, so far as the Boers are concerned, was the outgrowth of the Ignorance and ambition of Kruger. Steyn. Ileitz and others of their c!as, and, if they had succeeded, would have pedpetuated, at the espouse of the liberties of the Boer people, tho oligarchy they had formed. Paul Kruger, he asserts, is a rery much misunderstood man, lor. instt-ad of possessing the high, noble qualities with which he has been credited, he is "an avaricious, unscrupulous and hypocritical man." who would sacrifice an entire peoj.le to his cupidity. Mr. Botha, who has known him for years, seems to think that his only virtue is courage, and says that bis whole career can be searched without finding evidence that either through personal or official expeditures he has ever done anything for the public benefit in the Transvaal. He "was known in the Free State thirty years ago, hofore he found better men of enriching himself, as a swindling dealer in oranges find tobacco, and one whom we strongly suspected of being a very 'cute slave dealer." Steyn. as President of the Orange Free State, abandoned the policy of his wiser predecessors and threw his lot In with Kruger, although the citizens of the southern Boer republic had no grievance of any serious moment to bring against the English. It was a plot successfully workea up, ending In an appeal to the traditional patriotism of the Boers. io that thosf who counseled reason and moderation were denounced as traitors by their more excitable fellow-countrymen. Mr. Botha had been for years a valued member of the Folksraad. lie had the liberty and well-being of his country greatly at heart. He foresaw that It was the desire of President Kruger and his associates K use the Orange Free State for their own purposes, and that even if they were successful In their war it would mean that the Boers in the Orange Free State would be placed nt the mercy of the dominant clas In the Transvaal, a class controlled by the desire to use opportunities for greatly nrlching themselves. But his counsels were addresj-ed to deaf ears when tr-e people were aroused by the excitement of a poaBible war. It was useless to attempt to Tolnt out to them that the Orarge Free State could gain nothing In such a content, let the result be what it might. But he now atks bis fellow-countrymen whether they think that events have Justified the confident faith that they placed In Messrs. Kruger and Steyn; whether the propheoie of these men have been fulfilled; whether, on the contrary, their predictions have not been altogether falsified, and this beinj the case, whether it is not better for the Boers to as quickly as possible abandon a useless struggle, carried on at the present time chiefly by political fanatics and the lawless, irresponsible members of the community, accept the inevitable and make the Inst possible terms with the English. His advice to tho English is to endeavor to realize the conditions under which the Boers have lived, and to remember that thl accounts In no slight degree for the manner in which they have been misled. But while showing toleration the Engllxh mut in bis opinion, if the future of the country Is to be assured, lay down as a policy, from which no deviation whatsoever 1? to b made, that the two Roer states are hereafter to lo confide rd colonies if Great Britain, and that their political Indepmd. enco is to bo forever at an end. He holds thit tho section of the Liberal partv In England, which insists thnt political indo-jR-ndonce should be continued to tho Boers, art, In view of present conditions, d-dng serious Injury both t the Moers und to England in encouraging the former to periisi in carrying on a hop ! 5.4 strucgla which mnfrt be end. d before tho groat tna of the people can take th noev.?ry steps tu regain thir lost industrial prosperity. One of l'rortor'a Morles. New York Times. Senator Pro tor. of Vermont. hs a favorite story which, if it doesn't teach m moral, at least amuse tho.e to whom he tells it.
