given to the public.
Kruger Heartbroken.
According l< a dispatch to The Eon-
Son Daily Express from Utrecht, Hol
land, Mr. Kruger was informed shortly
after 9 o’clock Sunday night that peace
had been declared. He had been
asleep.
“My God," lie said, “it is impossible.”
Telegram Was Brief.
At about 1 o’clock Sunday afternoon
th war office received the following
dispatch from Honk Kitchener, dated
Pretoria, Saturday, May 31, at 11:15
p. m.:
“A document concerning terms of
surrender was signed here this evening
at 10:36 o’clock by all the Boer repre
sentatives as well as by Lord Milner
anil myself.”
The clerks on duty at tile w.r office
transmitted this message to Buck lug
ham palace, whore King Edward was
lunching. At about 5 o’clock word was
received permitting the publication of
tills message and the small notice
which was stuck up outside the war
office consisted of a copy of l.ord
Kitchener’s cablegram. \ similar no
tion was put outside of the colonial of
fice. Beyond these two skimpy bits of
paper Loudon knew nothing of the
great event. In the clubs, the hotels
and newspaper offices, which were al
most deserted, the momentous news
was tieked out on the tape. Then,
like wildfire, at about 6 o’clock London
awakened to the fact that the South
African war was over.

Ac'.-e'ju Willing to Join
H|H>. it c Lorio iciation.
ÜBecoraticn day was observed in
Washington, perhaps more generally
than ever before. The announcement
that President Roosevelt would deliv
er the oration at Arlington brought to
that historic city of the dead a vast
concourse of people, among whom
were numbered thousands of veterans
who journeyed to the cemetery to lion [
or the memory of their comrades.
A touching feature of the work of i
decoration was tiie strewing of flowers j
over the giaves of the confederate |
dead, who lie buried in a section of the j
cemetery.
In the meantime a vast crowd had j
assemb ed at. the amphitheatre, where ,
the Services were conducted. The fa
miliar strains of "Nearer, My God, to
Thee,” by the Marine band marked the
beginning of the services, which had
been most elaborately planned. _ Pres
ident Roosevelt’s arrival was the sig
nal for an outburst of applause.
After the invocation and the rendi
tion of several numbers by the band
and choir E. I!. Hay read Lincoln’s
Gettysburg address. President Roose
velt followed, and as he arose lie was
again greeted with cheers and the
plaudits of the immense audience,
whlich stretched far outside the limits
of the amphitheatre. His remarks
were given the closest attention, and
he was frequently interrupted by
bursts of applause. , '
At Grant’s Tomb. y
A New York special says: Memo
rial services were held at Grant’s
tomb in the presence of 5,000 people.
The exercises were conducted by the
S. Grant post, of Brooklyn. “Amer
iea” was sung and Lincoln’s Gettys
burg address was read. Judge Thom
as C. Jones, of Hu United States dis
trict court of Alabama, then wajs in-’
trodueed and he delivered the oration.
Judge Jones said in part:
“This hour is one of indescribable i
moral grandeur. When but a b innl- i
less youth I drank of the cup of defeat]
at Appomattox and was one of those/
‘allowed to return to his home, not to
be disturbed by tlie United States au

they resided.’ From that day to this
there lias never been an hour when 1

He Had &ix Months to Live.
The early life o! Cecil Rhodes was
frequently endangered by illness, and
the slender boy gave little evidence of
tiie sturdy, lion framed man. Even
his owb physician did not believe at
one time that the youth would ever
live to grow up, and told the boy if b 9
ever expected to live he should go to
the Cape. Before leaving England he
again called on the doctor, and was
informed that the physician was dead,
and that hia son was conducting the
practice. The visitor then mado him
self known to the latter, who, oil con
sulting the register of his father's
cases, said:
“Yes. here is the name, Cecil
John Rhodes; but it can’t be you, for
there is a note after it which reads,
’Cannot live more than six months.’ ”
NEARER YET.
A few years ago a little miss gave
the information to the world that
there can be a nearer family relation
than that of brother and sister. Ac
companied by a small boy she appear
ed in the Bryn Mawr school, and the
teacher proceeded to take down the
new pupils’ names, which were given
as Frank and Bessie Thompson.
“Brother and sister, I supposed?"
said the teacher, pleasantly.
“Oh, no, ma'am. We’re twins!” was
the little girl’s reply.—Philadelphia

Dewey an J Miles Get Ssub on
French ftMleship.
OFFICIAL ENMITY CROPS OUT
\
Both Had Speeches Prepared to Deliv
er at Cair.bon Dinner, But Higher
Authority Saw That They
Kept Guiet.
A Washington special says: Friends
of General Miles and Admiral Dewey
declare the worst snub the two officers
have received since they fell into dis
favor with the administration was ad
ministered during the recent dinner
which was given on board the French
battleship Gaulois by M. Cambon, the
French ambassador.
In preparing Its program the French
embassy had arranged that when Gen
eral Brugere toasted the American ar
my General Miles was to toast the val
or of the French army and that when
Admiral Fourier felicitated the Ameri
can navy Admiral Dewey was to speak
of the glory of the French service.
Both officers were notified and prompt
ly prepared addresses. Lieutenant H.
H. Whitney was detailed to accompany
General Miles and have the copy of
his speech ready for distribution to
the press, and Lieutenant Nathan Sar
gent was to perform similar duties for
Admiral Dewey. Then these two mem
bers of the staff were unexpectedly cut
out of the program and the general
and admiral were left without aids.
For some reason not exp’ained ’the
higher authorities” determined that
General Miles and Admiral Dewey
were not to respond to the toasts, but
that the secretary of war and the sec
retary of the navy were to have that
honor. The committee was so inform
ed, but failed to tell the admiral and
general, so that when the party sat
at the table of the Gaulois both Gen
eral Miles and Admiral Dewey awaited
their turn. It never came. Secretary
Root rose when the French general
spoke and Secretary Moody followed
the French admiral.
Frenchmen at Tomb of Grant.
A New York special says: General
Brugere and Vice Admiral Fournier, of
the French special mission, made an
official visit Wednesday to Rear Admi
ral Barker, at the navy yard. From this
visit they returned to their hotel,
where they rejoined the Count de Ro
chambeau and others of the party,
and accompanied by Mayor Low, went
to Columbia university. From Colum
bia the party proceeded to Grant’s
tomb, where a stop of about ten min
utes’ duration was made and then re
paired to the Claremont to attend a
breakfast given by the mayor.
Mayor Low invited his guests to
drink to President Loubet, of France.
This toast was drunk standing, Then
Mr. Low proposed a toast to General
Brugere and his party.
General Brugere thanked the mayor
briefly. He referred to “the grand and
and enthusiastic reception the French
delegation have received in this city
and county,” and said they would take
home with them memories that would
take a long time to obliterate. He end
ed by proposing the toast of the mayor
and the city.
Vice Admiral Fournier proposed “the
ladies” in a speech, which was fre
quently He said that the
women were the flowers of France and
that the American women were the
crowning glory of this vigorous and
progressive nation.
LAWYERS GET LION’S SHARE.
Further Court Orders Affecting “Bust
ed” Building and Loan Concern.
At Atlanta, Ga., Wednesday the sum
of $40,700 was set aside by Judge John
S. Candler as attorneys’ fees in wind
ing up the receivership case of the
Southern Mutual Building and Loan
Association. This sum is divided as
follows: To the reivers. Judge James
A. Anderson, of Atlanta, and IT. A.
O’Byrne, of Savannah, $7,600; Attor
neys E. K. Lumpkin and Wylie Bur
nett, $4,700; Attorneys Dorsey, Brews
ter.& Howell and King & Spalding,
counsel for the receivers. $4,000 each;
Attorneys. Ellis. Gray & Ellis, coun
sel for the association. $4,400; neces
sary expense in winding up the busi
ness, $6,200. Several of the attorneys

Association failed in 1897, and by the
receivership some $330,000 has been
brought into court for the benefit of
the stockholders and creditors. A cer
tain class of creditors of the concern
have already received two payments
of 10 per cent, while others have so far
received nothing.
