AN ultimatum
IS PROBABLE
Trooble Between England and
Transvaal Becomes Critical.
ja\Y SIGNIFICANT MESSAGES
pgs Between Salisbury and the
Queen—Transvaal Govern
ment’s Answer.
\dvices from London state that the
colonial office officials were busy until
after 3 o’clock Thursday morning.
Dispatches have been passing by spe
cial messengers between the queen
and Lord Salisbury for the last few
days.
The Times advises the government
to convoke parliament immediately,
if necessary, to vote the needed sup
plies, adding that a “further loss of
time may be dangerous and humilia
ting- ”
The day’s news shed no new light
on the Transvaal crisis. The signs
which the English are accustomed to
Bee just previous to a war continue,
and from these any number of sensa
tional deductions may be drawn.
General opinion trends to the belief
that the cabinet council will result in
an ultimatum, followed by an imme
diate backdown by the Boers, or the
immediate commencement of hostili
ties by Great Britain.
Mr. Chamberlain remained at the
foreign office until shortly before mid
night. He declined to make a state
ment regarding the Transvaal situa
tion, but expressed a desire to see a
copy of the following transcript of the
Transvaal government’s reply, issued
by the Transvaal ageut in Brussels
Wednesday night, which was forward
ed to him by the Associated Press:
Kruger's Reply to Chamberlain.
In reply to the last dispatch of the
British government, the Transvaal
government on Saturday handed to
the British agent in Pretoria a re
sponse, of which the following is a
purport:
“The government of the South Afri
can republic regrets that Great Britain
is of the opinion that it is unable to
accept the proposals made by the
Transvaal in the dispatches of August
19 and 21, by which the term for ob
taining the franchise was fixed at five
years and the representation of the
Witwaterstrand district was increased.
“The government regrets this the
more inasmuch as it considered itself
able to deduce from the negotiations
previous to its formal proposals that
the latter would be accepted by the
British government. In these coadi
t:ons the Transvaal considers its
propasals are annulled, and finds it
necessary to submit them to the volks
raad and the people. It remains of
the opinion that its proposals are very
liberal and more extensive than those
presented by the British high commis
sioner cf Bloemfontein. It is also of
the opinion that the conditions at
tached to these proposals are reason
ab'e.
“The Transvaal never desired Great
Britain to abandon any rights pos
sessed by virtue of the London con
vention of 1884 or by virtuo of inter
national law. The Transvaal still
hopes that these declarations will lead
to a good understanding and a solution
of the existing difficulties.”
, “The Transvaal government has
a ready made known to the British
agent its objections to accepting the
proposals contained in the British
high commissioner’s telegram of Au
gust 2, suggesting the appointment of
delegates to draw up a report on the
last electoral law voted by the volks
raad. J
“b the one side’s examination re
erred to in the last dispatch should
snow that the existing electoral law
can he made more efficient, the Trans
'aal government is ready to make a
proposal to the volksraad with this
0 'ject. It is also disposed to furnish
the information possible, but it is
0 opinion that the result of such
au ID qoiry, so far as regards a useful
appreciation of the law, will he of lit
tle value.”

MEXICAN STREET NAMES.
A Fashion In Nomenclature That Is Appal*
II g to the Strang r.
The street names of Mexico are
something really appalling to the new
comer. Some years ago the streets of
the city were renamed systematically
with numerical avenues running east
and west, and streets north and south,
and although the new names are prom
inently posted on all the corner houses,
they are never used except In official
documents. Every one uses the old
names. Many of these nre place names,
or streets are named for some occur
rence or tradition, or for the character
of the trades that formerly predomi
nated in them. The number of names
Is Infinitely multiplied because each
block Is regarded as a street and has
a separate name. When the name of
a street continues the same through
more than one block, the various
squares are designated as first, sec
ond, third, etc. Many of the street
names seem very odd to foreigners.
Those named for the deity and religi
ous personages ere numerous. For in
stance, there is the Heart of Jesus
street, and the street of the Holy
Ghost; Are Maria street, and the ave
nue of the Love of God. Others nre
the street of the Saint of the True
Cross, the Arches of Bethlelien, and
the Graves of Saint Sunday street, the
Bridge of Saint Peter and Saint Paul,
and the street of The Crosses of Sor
row.
Not only are the names of streets un
usual, but they are often found in the
most incongruous locations. For in
stance, if you walk down Jesus street,
and continue in the second block, you
will be startled to find that you are
then on the street of the New Slaugh
ter House. The Alley of the Egg and
Potato street are just as likely to be
the prolongation of the Back of Saint
Teresa street as any other. The street
of the Seven Princes may no longer be
lnhabltated by royalty, but the avenue
of Illustrious Men was named for real
persons. The street of the Lost Child
derived Us name from a popular tradi
tion, but the avenue of the Fifth of
May was named for a famous battle
with the French.
There are a large number of the capi
tal's streets named for living things.
There are the street of tho Little Bird,
street of the Fish, Bull street and Goat
street, and streets of the Flies, Rats
and Roosters. Then there are the
the streets named for various trades
men, as the streets of the Hatters, To
bacconists, Coachmen, Milkmen, etc.
One short block glories in the name of
the street of the False Entrance of
Saint Andrew. The alley of the Little
Candle Shop, the street of Heads,
street of a Thousand Wonders, the
Square of the Thief, are other oddities.
It is not recorded exactly as to whethr
er Sad Indian street and the street of
Crazy People were named after those
who endeavored to learn all the street
names of the City of Mexico, but if
you at least feel inclined to use harsh
language after trying it yourself, you
should first go over to Devil street.—
Modern Mexico.
A Georgia Genu?.
A discovery has just been made by
the merest accident by the Yoeinan in
the person of a young man scarcely
twenty years old. His name is Charles
Aired and his home has been at Tlieo
Hall’s for several years. Charlie, as
he is known in the neighborhood, is a
perfect genius in original inventions
with engines and machinery. He is of
slight stature, very quiet and unassum
ing and there is not one man in a thous
and who would suspect that in this
quiet lad was hidden the peculiar gen
ius that makes greet naen. Charlie has
already Invented, made and set to go
ing several engines and machines, all
of them being made of scraps of iron
picked up in the neighborhood. He gets
wheels out of cast off reapers and worn
out mowers and from old worn out
threshers. He has made a small trac
eion engine to run on the road and has
one set up in a little shop of one-half
horse power that runs an emery wheel
to gum all the saws in the country.
Charlie has never read any books on
science and the laws that govern steam
engines or any kind of machinery.—
Wickliffe (Ga.) Yeoman.
His Cleverness.
Vice-Chancellor Bacon had an anti
pathy for one member of tho inner
bar practicing before him. This man’s
services were not much iu demand, for,
although liis ability and knowledge of
law were undoubted, he was apt to
look at a case from an Impractical
point of view, and not to make the
most of its best points. It was com
monly said of him that he had a twist
in his mind. When this man was
about sixty years old, someone re
marked to the judge that he was very
clever. “Yes,” said the old man, slow
ly and judicially, “he is a very clever
young man.” and, after a pause, he
added: “If he swallowed a nail, he
would vomit a screw.’’—The Argonaut.

“Dear Mrs. Pinkham —Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound I had one child which lived only six
hours. The doctor said it did not have the proper nourishment
while I was carrying it. I did not feel at all well during preg
nancy. In time I conceived again, and
thought I would write to you for advice.
Words cannot express the gratitude I feel
towards you for the help that your medi
cir.o was to mo during this time. I
felt like anew person; did my work jay,,
up to the last, and was sick only a
short time. My baby weighed ten
pounds. He is a fine boy, the S
joy of our home. He is now six
weeks old and weighs sixteen /y
