I TOPICS OF THE WEEK ARMORED TRAINS IX WAR. n impression Is likely to be created the public mind from the frequency 'f mention given to the operations of the irruored train in the dispatcher hat it is now being1 used in the South Vrican campaign for the first time. This is not the fact. Attempts which wto yf an unsatisfactory character were made to introduce it as Ions ago .s the civil war. In 1S52 Captain, now A.imiral, Fisher, of the British navy adopted a more elaborate form of the ..rrriored train which wa? operated with tt fling effect against an enemy which did not know how. or was too lazy, to !.-.:r ::r th- tra.-ks in front of it. The f'j!-' of armored train used in South Mric.T is said to he madi the same as the or utilized by fished. It has, how-r.-r. been s.ibjc.-td to a more severe t with the d ntonsrra'ed result in a a t .ea-: tw in.--tan.-e-that its use is I :c:i it-i by very manife--.. weakness.

There are two or three competing companies, but the principal one is owned and operatfd by a number of farmer?, whose aim is to secure an con and efiVient. service rather than dividends for the stockholders. . veral hundred farmers in the county tave telephones in their houses which ;reatl3- facilitate their business ami social intercourse.

Johnston, both democrats, though ijof agreed as to leading issues of the iay. The senator i? a candidate for re-election, but. the governor thinks that the senator is out of touch with their party and so hr. himself entered tee senatorial race. AMKRICA S COMMKRCIAL SITRKMACY. In is?i for the first time the imports Into Jamaica from th United States exceeded those from Oreat Rritain, and this fact begins to attract the earnest attention of some of the Ixmdon paPf rs. It is, Indeed, as they contend, a matter of considerable consequence to England and the world that most of the trade of England's largest possession in the gulf of Mexico is with the Cniu-d States rather than with the mother country. The drift has been in this direction, however, for many years, and nobody need be surprised at its latest development. FFNDAY LAHOR AND THE LAW. It is well known to those who hawgiven the subject any attention that the question of Sunday labor is unsettled in the United State. Xrt only in the law regulating or restricting such labor openly disregarded in many states, especially in large and cosmopolitan citieFf but the principles of Sunday legislation are neither fixed nor definite. The usual rul Is tolerably familiar works of necessity or charity are deemed to be legal on the day of rest. Rut this formula Is obviously rather elastic. Who can define what a work of necessity is? WONDERFUL IF TRUE. According to the testimony of a Milwaukee gypsy, who was in New York Recently, the richest man in America is not one of the Vanderbilts Astors or Rockefellers, but a simon-pure gypsy, who?e name is simply John Smith. He lives in Mexico, is Mi years old, and the owner of countless acres, of myriads of cattle and sheep, of gold, siUer and onyx mines, of railway and bank fctock. and of plantations without number in the heart of Mexico's richest states, says the New York Telegraph. RRITISII ON THE DEFENSIVE. British pride is sorely hurt by the uccess:ul Roer raiding of Natal. Day by day the mobile burghers invade fresh territory and apparently meet with but little opposition. Ruller's triumphant march to Pretoria has not yet begn, while the burghers are not far from carrying out their original boast that they would occupy all Natal vcn to Durban. Man can be coaxed only when he doesn't discover that he Is being coaxed.

The Raltimore and Ohio lines west cf the Ohio River present a very busyappearance these days, as there is scarcely a ten mile stretch without a bridge or a construction ganp: at work. There are still a few of the S3 bridge. purchased last January to be erected and almost all of the 20.000 tons of S". pound rails have been laid. At several points sidings of 100 car capacity are being constructed, and between Newark and Chicago Junction thousands ei! men are working on extensive grade reductions. Ret ween Chicago Junction and Chicago nearly a score of passing sidings are being constructed with a view of a double track some time in the future. They are to be long enough in most cases to hold three Su car trains. "The Great Ruby" still hold? the stage at MeYieker's Theater, Chicago, although the last weeks of this big English melodrama are announced. The massive scenery, the splendid company and the wonderful costuming have proven very attractive, and the Standing Room Only sign has been in use nearly ever night for six weeks. Seats for the remaining performances and for the special holiday matinee andnight performances on Thanksgiving may be secured by mall.
