GLOOMY OUTLOOK
FOlt THU IiOUliS.
A few more such victories « £
that gained by the British during
the latter part of last week, an ac¬
count of which appeared in our
dispatches yesterday, and the Boers
will be without the means of con¬
tinuing the war. It has been the
cause of wonder for a long time
where the Boers got the men and
supplies for continuing the war.
The sources of their supplies must
now, however, be pretty well ex
hausted. They have made a de¬
ft: use of their cause that has exeit
ed the admiration of the world. If
they go down in defeat, and
looks as if they would, they will
have the satisfaction of knowing
that they have the sympathy of
liberty loving people everywhere.
The Boer delegates, Messrs. Wea¬
sels and Wolmarans, who arrived
at New York a day or two ago, will
hardly meet with the kind of a
reception that would be given them
if there were ground of hoping for
the success of the Boer cause. They
will of course with whom they
come in contact, but they will be
told thnt it is useless to make an
effort to help their countrymen in
view of the fact that they are
struggling against overwhelming
odds, and that it cannot be very
long before the Boer republics will
be utterly exhausted. Their arri¬
vals does not seem to have made
much of an impression. That is
not because there are not sympa¬
thizers in New York, but, as al¬
ready stated, because it is thought
the fight in South Africa is practi¬
cally over. It is certain that the
British feel that way, or else the
dispatch of Gen. Kitchener, giving
an account of his victory of last
Thursday, would not have been
read in Parliament.
There is an impression that the
Boer commanders are now consid¬
ering peace terms submitted to
them by Gen. Kitchener. It is
said that these terms t re in har¬
mony with the recently expressed
views of Lord Rosebery. King
Edward is extremely anxious that
there shall be peace throughout
the empire at the time of his coro¬
nation. That, is the reason, it is
said, why the Boers are offered
terms much less humiliating to
them than unconditional surren¬
der. It is not known, of course,
exactly what the terms are, but it
is understood that it is proposed
that the two republics—the Trans¬
vaal and the Orange Free State—
shall be united and become a
crown colony to be governed by an
appointive council composed of
Englishmen and Boers, the Eng¬
lishmen being in the majority un¬
til the affairs of the colony be¬
come settled, when the Boers are
to have as many members as the
English. The crown colony con¬
dition is to exist only as long as it
may be necessary to a thorough
pacification of the country. When
that is accomplished the Boers are
to become a self-governing com¬
munity.
There is of course nothing offi¬
cial as to terms being offered. The
foregoing is simply the impres¬
sion of the situation that prevails
in LondfTn. If peace negotiations
have not been begun it would not
be surprising if they should be
very soon.—Savannah Morning

force as to absolutely retard the
progress of trains out on the prai¬

A Daily Newspaper at Sea.
One of tlie most interesting of
the developments to be brought
about by tlie practical adoption of
wireless telegraphy will be its con¬
stant use for tlie benefit of passen¬
gers at sea. The absolute cutting
off for a week from the possibility
of communication with one’s home
or office has kept many a man
from evossiug the ocean. Fears of
business complications, of deaths,
of sudden emergencies, of events
so important that irretrievable
ruin would be worked before, at
the end of the voyage, communi¬
cation should once more be restor¬
ed, have prevented many a man
from sailing.
Soon all will be changed. The
pilot who boards the incoming
steamship will not bo beseiged by
a throng of passengers entreating
to be told the latest news of the
world, for the passengers will
know as much about it as does the
pilot. Each day on board ship
news will bo received for every
quarter of tlie gl«be; for such an
arrangement can easily be made
through some press association.
Each day on board every big liner
a little newspaper will be set up
and printed, giving, m brief, the
essence of the news of the world.
And, far more important, there
will be arrangements by which
those on board the ship will enjoy
the possibility of being in close
telegraphic touch with their homes.
The operator on board will re¬
ceive messages from any quarter
and will promptly send replies,
and thus the trust magnate can he
informed of vitally important hap¬
penings and can send instant di¬
rections to his subordinates; a
lawyer can consult with his client;
a physician can give advice in re¬
gard to some unexpected crisis; a
father may receive constant re¬
ports regarding the sickness of a
child. Ships drifting helplessly
at sea will bo able to make their
needs and their location known
either to oilier sliijis, scores or
hundreds of miles away, or to
home ports, and each year wireless
telegraphy will thus be the means
of saving many lives.—Saturday

Washington, March 5.—A mail
just in from the Philippines shows
that the insurgent leaders are re¬
sorting to all kinds of deceptions
and subterfuges to retain control,
One insurgent commander recent¬
. ly issued a proclamation saying
that “now is the time to strike a
decisive blow for Filipino itide
pendouce,” and adding: “The
United States is in llie midst of a
bloody civil war. The coal miners
: in Pennsylvania have risen against
the government, and at Chicago a
great battle was fought in which
1,600 regular soldiers were killed.
An army of anli-imperialiists is
besieging Washington. Roosevelt
will be deposed and Dr. Bryan
proclaimed president by the demo¬
crats on the 4th of March next.”
Indianapolis, March 4.—Ellen
M. Stone, the missionary who was
captured by brigands and released
recently, will lecture at Winona
this summer. Miss Stone has con
traded to lecture for the Chautau¬
qua societies of the country during
tiie summer and it. is understood
she will visit Indiana.

So the King minded the cow till
the woman returned with a glass

“Oh, they’re always running
away now to try to see the King,”
answered the woman.
“And why do you riot go? Don’t
you want to see the King?”
“Someone must stay and look
after things.”
“Well, little mother,” smiled the
guest, “you sen the King without
running away from your work.”
“You’re joking 1” exclaimed the
woman, who could not believe that
a monarch could be so quietly

a gold coin into her hand she fell
on her knees, while he continued
his walk, laughing over the inci¬

Atlanta, March 4.—Gov. Candler
is a very sick man, and if the diag¬
nosis of the attending physician,
Dr. J. B. S. Holmes, is correct, the
case must be watched with great
care to prevent a development of
pneumonia. Dr. J. B. S. Holmes
was called hi again t a-dfty, and is
now making regular visits to the
mansion. He announced this af¬
ternoon that Gov. Candler had a
genuine case of grippe. While it
is known that the Governor has

of a week.
New York, Mar. 4.—The employ¬
ees of Charles Broadway Rouss,
who died at his home here yester¬
day, met to-day and adopted reso¬
lutions eulogizing Mr. Rouss’ life

his career should be held tip as nn
example to “all enterprising peo¬
ple.” It was decided that a com¬

peeir in works of fiction quite uiniocos
sary to the requirmnents of the story
aml resulting apparently from s,lw ‘ r
lack of observation. As a modern
example of such gratuitous blunder
lng tuke a v j ece 0 f description from
Mr. Hall Caine's “Scapegoat:” "It was
a wonderful night. The moon, which
was in its first quarter, was still low
Ill the cast, but the stars were tlijek
overhead.” A wonderful night, in
deed! And strange that such a lover
of nature as Mr. Hall Caine should
not have reflected thnt when the moon
in its first quarter is low in the east
it Is broad daylight, with the sun high
in the heavens!
Nevertheless on this point lie erred
In good company. The young moon
has proved a stumbling block to many
a writer who has attempted to intro¬
duce it as a picturesque adjunct to his
description of evening.
In Dickens’ “Our Mutual Friend"
Eugene Wrayburu, in his walk along
the river bunk, finds it lias just risen
when “the stars were beginning to
shine in the sky. from which the tones
of red and yellow were flickering.”
Dickens,- In truth, was sublimely su¬
perior to astronomical niceties, espe¬
cially when they In any way inter¬
fered with the artistic effect of his
stories. In his “Child’s Dream of a
Star” the point turns upon one special
star, "larger and more beautiful than
the rest,” which always came out
every night in one particular place and
at one particular time, thereby behav¬
ing ns no star has ever conceivably
been known to do. This is undoubted¬
ly taking a liberty with the solar sys¬
tem, but it is small indeed compared
with tlie license sometimes claimed by
authors desirous of culling in llie aid
of astronomy to assist their plots, but
who are either insufficiently acquaint¬
ed with their subject or count it no
sin to twist and convert facts to suit
their requirements.
A very famous nnd noteworthy in¬
stance of tills Is afforded in Itider Hag¬
gard's “King Solomon's Mines," where
the phenomenon of a total solar eclipse
is employed with most happy and dra¬
matic effect as fur as the, story is con¬
cerned, hut with a perfect disregard
of astronomical details which in its
audacity is almost startling. Here,
again, as in so many other cases, the
difficulty of the young moon comes
in, and the sun lius scarcely set tie
fore tlie “flue crescent” rises in tlie
east. Within a wonderfully short space
of time after tills curious event tlie
moon is full, and only a day later tlie
total eclipse of the sun takes place,
despite the ustrouomicu! fact thnt it
Is at “no moon" (or, more accurately
speaking, the last few seconds of the
old moon and the Hist few seconds of
the new) that a total solar eclipse alone
is possible.
But perhaps the most interesting
feature of this altogether remarkable
eclipse Is that tlie total darkness lasts
for nearly nn hour. Alas, under the
rarest and most favorable conditions,
seven minutes alone is the utmost limit
of time during which the sun’s face is
totally obscured, and tlie observer un¬
der ordinary circumstances counts him¬
self lucky if he is rewarded for a jour¬
ney of some thousands of miles by an
uninterrupted view of tlie corona for
three minutes, two or even less.
Some years ago one of tlie magazines
contained a story called “The Portent,”
the motif of which was a certain
strange seeming in the heavens which,
whenever it appeared, boded 111 to a
particular family. This prophetic sign
was none other than the appearance
of the crescent moon with n star be¬
tween the two horns. Nor was this a
particularly novel idea, for it will bo
remembered that in Coleridge's “An¬
cient Mariner” that veracious seaman
relates how at one period of his ad¬
ventures there rose
above the eastern bar
The horned moon, with one bright star
Within the nether tip.
In a purely miraculous and fanciful
creation like tills famous poem it
would lie ridiculous to cavil at such
a detail, though in the case of the
story it might well lie questioned how
the star could manage to appear in
such a position. We may perhaps re¬
fer to the line in “The Burial of Sir
John Moore" where the great soldier
Is represented as being Interred “by
the struggling moonbeam’s misty
light,” whereas, as a matter of fact,
the moon was but a day old at the
time of the battle of Coruna and there¬
fore invisible. This seems like hyper
criticism, especially in a poem that
lays no claim to astronomical accuracy.
The case is different when an author
deliberately makes a statement which
lie intends shall be believed. In “In¬
nocents Abroad" Mark Twain draws
special notice to tlie point that on the
voyage across tlie Atlantic they ob¬
served the full moon located just in
the same spot In the heavens at tlie
same hour every night. He accounts
for tills by the motion of the ship,
which gained enough every day to
keep up with the moon, but he seem¬
ingly forgot that, though for this rea¬
son the position of the'hiooii might not
greatly alter, her phase certainly
would, so that It could not have been
the full moon which was visible night
after night.—London Standard.

A TALE OF TWO CITIES.
T3ie Perils of LIvinK Xenr the Mex¬
ican Boundary Line.
“Some peculiar conditions prevail at
the twin cities of Nogales, Mexico,
and Nogales, Aria.,” said the Detroiter,
who recently returned from a visit to
Mexico. “The international boundary
line is formed by a street that divides

avoids the duty on imported cigars
and can provide ids customers with

most of his competitors.
“They tell an Imbibed amusing story about an
American who too much light¬
ing whisky at this saloon. ’When ho
arrived at a certain stage, he allowed
his prejudices to get the bettor of him,
and, standing near the boundary lino
of his own country, he heaped anathe¬

can officers stood across the street al¬
most within reach of the pugnacious
American, hoping that he would stroll

The alert cops promptly grabbed him,
and, though lie didn’t get n chance to

eloquently maligned.”—Detroit Free

LONG RANGE BAPTISM.
CllrlKtcnlnK In Scotland Was Con¬
ducted Under Difficulties.
In wide and sparsely populated high¬
land districts of Scotland it not infre¬
quently happens that a parent is oblige
ed to walk a distance of live or six
miles with an infant for baptism.
It is related of a minister of tbe
north that he agreed to accommodate
a parishioner thus situated by meet¬
ing him at a stream midway between
tlie parents’ house and tlie manse and
there baptizing the child at the run¬
ning water.
It so happened that by tin* time the
parties came to opposite sides of tlie
bourn heavy rains bad swollen it into
a rapid torrent, so that neither party
could approach the other.
Unwilling to turn back with the
“bairn” unbiiptlzed, the farmer pro¬
posed that the minister should splash
water across. Accordingly the minister
stepped down to the stream and en¬
deavored to throw handfuls of water
on the farmer’s baby.
“Ha’e ye got ony o’ that?” he cried
at each successive splash.
“De’ii a spairge,” was the reply.
At last n few of tlie splashes were
communicated to tlie infant’s face,
and the ceremony was then concluded
in the usual form.
Before retiring to their respective
homes the farmer produced a Dottle of
whisky, crying across, “As I canna
offer ye a glass owre the held o’ this,
here’s the bottle— kepp!” And lie threw
it across the stream.
The bottle was caught, it is related,
with a precision that betokened on the
part of his reverence, if not considera¬
ble practice, at least considerable dex¬
terity.—Stray Stories.
Caught a Tartar.
Like so many of his learned brethren
in llie Church of England, the late
Canon Carter was tlie terror of com¬
positors. Ilis was perhaps, after Dean
Stanley’s, the very worst handwriting
of the last century.
About 1SS0 the then bishop of Lich¬
field, Dr. Maelagan, surprised one of
ids secretaries by saying: “I have
hardly ever received an anonymous
letter, but I got one this morning. It is
very badly written, and I can hardly
make it out. but from tlie signature it
is sure to lie abusive. The mail has
signed himself ‘A Tartar.’ See if you
can make it out.”
Tlie secretary, who knew the hand¬
writing. rather startled Ills lonlsliip by
rejoining: “It’s nothing alarming. It’s
only a note from Canon Carter of
Glower!”—London Tit-Bits.
