American Consnl General nt Cape Town Talks of the Wnr. LONDON, Aug. 26. Consul General Stowe, who has arrived here from Cape Town, said to-day: T find myself marooned in London. Apparently every berth on steamers bound for America is taken till the end of September, and I am anxious to get home, where I can do away' with official cares and talk as a private citizen. You know more In London about the military affairs in South Africa than it is possible for anyone to know at Cape Town. "While I have resigned from the consular service, my resignation does not take effect till I reach Washington, hence It is impossible for me to say anything. You can learn much more from returning officers than It is possible to learn from anyone else coming from the Cape. "The South African problem is undoubtedly difilcult and complicated. The topography of the country and the mobility of the Boers, whom the English columns are unable to pursue individually, render operations most difficult. The British are feeding many prisoners and providing for thousands of Boer families, all of which is very nice on the part of England. But. in the meanwhile the war drags" on. There is a great future for South Africa when peace is assured. The surface of her mineral wealth Is scarcely scratched. Undoubtedly England is prepared to solve the problem of reunification, but when that will occur certainly no person at the Cape is able to say." SUES STRIKER FOR $25,000.

PORTO IUCA NEEDLEWORK. An Art Which Has Deen Ilronght to a High State of Perfection. Youth's Companion. Art embroidery is one of the great accomplishments of the women of Porto Rico. It is considered a necessary part of their education, and Is not only taught in the convent schools, but also in private schools established solely for that purpose. Senorita Hermlnia Davlla. or, as she prefers to be called, Miss Davlla, who has been the proprietor and teacher ot such a school of needlework, and who has come to the United States to exhibit specimens of her work at the Buffalo Exposition, has brought over a portrait of Washington done in black and gray silks of hair-like fineness, perfectly reproducing the shades of a steel engraving. As a likeness of its subject, the needlework is far more realistic than the photograph which served as a basis for the design. At a first glance the portrait appears to be a fine steel engraving, and as far as the face is concerned this impression remains after the closest scrutiny, the Innumerable minute stitches being almost imperceptible. The much greater extent to which fine embroidery is practiced in Porto Rico than In this country is shown by the fact that, when Miss Davlla sought to buy in New York some of the finer silk thread w hie-h she uses, she found herself unable to do so. This thread, which is made in France especially for embroidering purposes, can always be procured in Porto Rico without difficulty. In most cases art needlework Is learned by the Porto Rican women simply as an accomplishment, but there are many women on the Island who earn their living by embroidery. In their work they use linen, silk, satin, velvet, gold thread, silver tissue and other materials. Altar cloths and ecclesiastical vestments furnish some of the finest specimens of this art needlework. A great deal of fancy work In leather Is also done. The leather is cut out in the forms desired with sharp scissors, and is used for picture and photograph frames, fancy baskets, watch cases and other purposes. It is sometimes left in its natural state, ar.d in other Instances is coated with shellac. So far as the condition of the professional embroiderers are concerned, the effect of American rule on the islands has been beneficial. The Americans have greatly admired their work, and have spent their money freely for specimens to send horn. No regular export trade in artistic needlework has yet been create-d, but a society of women in Ponce is buying "drawn work" from other women for the purpose of Introelucing it into the American market. This production is after the style of the Mexican eirawn work, which some time ago became famous in this country. Tit AMP RAILROAD MUX, The Hvll That tienerally Starts Them on the Down Grade. Washington Evening Star. "That human nature is pretty much alike in all callings Is shown by a study f the tramp' railroad man." said a division superintendent of one of the trunk lines runhing Into Washington. Th tramp railread man usually begin his career of wandering, seeking employment from road to roid. after hU tirst dismissal because of elrinklng. He may be an experienced man, sueh as any rod would be Riad to employ, but his weakness for whisky caused his downfall, and. like other men, ouee the downward slide begins, every Jolt In the toboggan path sends him farther toward the bottom. "Railreads all over the eountry are enforcing the rule demanding strict sobriety with great rigldneas. They are the most practical advocates of temperance in Unland. They do not plead with men. and hold up frightful examples of the result of drink. The quehtion is resolved to its most simple terms. If a man wUhes to keep his place he has got to keep liquor ttut of his stomach. Railroad men all know this, and the result is that railroad employes, as a great body, are the most tenner to eif the class of the employed. "A few yearn as;o it wan a common sight to see trainmen come out of a saloon or a hotel near the depot after a preliminary bracer' before starting on their run. It la 4 rare sight now, and. furthermore, ths

SÖZ0DÖNT for (he TEETHlSc rule holds good at all times of the day, wheth-" on or off duty. If a trainman Is known to tipple off duty he is at onee called up before the division superintendent and severely lectured. If the admonition falls to have the d sired e'ffect he Is summarily elimissed. The managers of the roads" have eletermlned that men who possess a disposition to drink cannot remain on their py roll, and the wholesale reformations and the good in general which has been accomplished have been almost Incalculable. "Probably there are more dimi.xsal for drunkenness among switchmen than in the other grades of railroad employes. This is because switchmen nnd yardmen are stationed at one place, frequently near t-a-loons. It is possible for them to flip away occasionally for a drink, rush the growler nnd drink its eContents em the sly, or have a drink smuggled to them surreptitiously by a companion er a friend. Hut eff goes their heid If they are detected, and a close watch is kept, as th Ir positions, though humble, are among the nietst important as to results, hhould they prove, derelict in their eluty, of any on the road. "No. we have no blacklist of men ellsmissed. If a man applies to us for employment, we write to his references, and if the caut?e of his dismissal Is intemperance we do not employ him, and he passes on to try his luck elsewhere. Previous experience on a railroad, however, counts for a great deal. If we have evldene'e that a man has really reformed ami he Is a good railroad man, we sometimes give him a trial on what is known as a "hard" division, and if he live, up to his determination, he retnlns, his place, and a good citizen has been made of him. . "It is singular, though true, that once & railroad man begins to 'tramp, as we say, it is tho exception that he climbs up again. He soon develops a grievance, like other men on the downward road, and falls Inta the error that everybody is against him. He seldom lays the fault at his own door, where It belongs. "We demand the strictest pobrlety amocc the train dispate-hers. These men must always be In the full possesion of all their faculties unaided by stimulants. If the. smell of liquor is letected on the breath of a train dispatcher, the 'old mnn' calls the culprit down in unmistakable terms, and a repetition of his offense means the le?s of his place. As a rule, train dispatchers are teetotalers. "The prevention of destruction of its property by accident and the t afeguardinir of the lives of its passengers are the cardinal principle? governing the control of rallroaei employes. The swapger conductor or engineer, with his nerves keyed up by a few drinks' is now almost a memory. Each year the habits of sobriety, neatness, accuracy and truthfulness are bceiming mors ar.d more part and parcel of a railroad man by reason of rigid enforcement of the rules. While it is true to a large extent that th companies are actuated by sell-Interest and not by temperance or humanitarian motives, the result, as far as the men are concerned, is the same as if the latter considerations were the only ones at issue."

He came into th world at the rate of fifty milts an hour, which is a pretty swift pace for a youngFter, even In the ppeedy days.
