BOERS ARE ACTIVE tfhile England Continues to Dis patch Large Forces to Africa. censorship is tightly drawn miantly Authentic News From the Con e, l uel “ J .... Seat of Hostilities Is Hard to Get. A London special says: In the west ern field large operations are appar ently about to begin. The Boers are showing great activ jt in the Xaanwpoort and Colesberg districts. Many of the guns hitherto Lins Lord Methuen are believed to Lye °gone to Norval’s point. The British, therefore, may find formida ble bodies of Boers there. The war office announces that nfteen transports will be dispatched between to ,hv and Monday with 13,000 troops. These 13,000 are not included in the jso 000 due to be in South Africa on February loth. The Eighth division 0 f 10,000 men is still available to Military opinion in London contin ues to assume, from very slender ma terials, that General Buller is again throwing his army against the Boer works. A retired general,Sir William Henry Green, whose distinguished career gives weight to his opinion, thinks that General Buller with 25,- 000 men is making a wide detour to the west and north in order to avoid the roughest parts of the country. As General Buller must have some thous ands of wagons, Sir William Green points out that the advance would necessarily be slow. No authentic word is at hand save that the war office reaffirmed orally to newspapers inquiries at a late hour that it could not confirm the reported advance. There the Natal situation rests. Sir Alfred Milner, in a letter written three weeks ago to the former lord mayor of Belfast, said the war would last three or four months longer. Sir Alfred Milner has sent most hopeful and encouraging reports to the gov ernment regarding the prospects of the campaign and it is understood that his views are shared by Lord Roberts. The censorship seems to have com pletely shut clown the correspondents at Spearman’s camp. No dispatch from that point appears in Monday morning’s papers and nothing has been allowed to issue since Sunday evening. ATLANTA IRISHMEN MEET And Png* Resolutions of Sympathy And Aid to Itoers. At a rousing and enthusiastic meet ing of divisions one and two of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, at At lanta, Ga., Monday night, $450 was raised to be forwarded to the Boers in South Africa to aid them in tlieir struggle against England. The following resolutions were also passed condeming England’s policy in South Africa: Resolved, therefore, That we, the members of divisions 1 and 2 of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Fulton county, Georgia, tender our heartfelt | sympathy to the struggling patriots l and offer an earnest prayer for their !success. Resolved, That we pledge our moral and financial support in aid of the widows and orphans of the brave Boer soldiers who are so gallantly defend- ! a 8 their homestead against a foreign invader. Resolved, That we earnestly protest against any alliance or secret under standing with Great Britain, and urge °ur representatives to oppose any such complications. RILE NOTICE OF CONTEST.

In regard to the sharp practices that ere sometimes resorted to in golf, this story is of interest. It is told by a re liable golfer as a fact and illustrates the keen interest in the success of his employer which many a caddie evinces often at the cost of his employer’s reputation and always at the cost of his own place if he is discovered. On this ocasion the player’s ball was found lying behind a big stone in a bunker. The crafty caddie gave the 6tone a kick, accompanying the act with remark,“D’ye think that’s wood?” The act resulted in the stone being moved sufficiently to permit the golfer to find his ball in a playable position. Horace Hutchinson Is authority for a story of even deeper craft on the part of a caddy. This one, nutchinson says, caried with him a supply of green-painted wooden pins. With these he generally waited until the light be gan to get a little uncertain and then, when chance afforded him an oppor tunity, he inserted the pins heads up in the green in the line of his oppo nent’s put As might be expected, this often caused the gutty to take a bad turn, there by missing the hole. While the exasperated player would be swearing at the wiriness of the grass at a favorable moment the caddy would put his foot on the pins and drive them into the sod, thus destroy ing fill evidences of his guilt. A cer tain Scottish player is said to have trained his collie to push his oppo nent’s ball into the burn with his nose. -New York Sun. Infantile Exclusiveness. There is a little Sixteenth street girl, still under six, who may be described as the limit in the matter of sensitive ness. Likewise, she has her points in respect to dead gameness. She was taken out to Takoma Park about a week ago to spend a few days with her aunt. The tot played around in the front yard of her aunt’s pretty home for a while. Then her aunt let a playful little fox terrier into the front yartj, saying to the child: “This is your little four-footed cousin.” Five minutes later the aunt returned to the front yard to call the kid into the house, but she wasn’t anywhere to be seen. The fox terrier was playing alone. There was a scrambling hunt for the tot, and all kinds of alarm, but the little girl didn’t turn up. The aunt hustled into town. The little girl was home with her mother. She had walked to the Seventh street road as soon as the fox terrier pup was presented to her, and, not having the price of a ride into town on the cars, had asked the driver of a groc ery delivery wagon to give her a lift In. The driver took her home. “Why didn’t you stay at auntie’s?” her mother asked her, in surprise. “She introduced me to a dog!” re plied the haughty young person.— Washington Post.
