NEATLY-:- DONE-:- AT The Mannin Times nOfce THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA Bloerfonteln tias Sdrrendered to Lord Roberts. LoxD.O March 15.-At precisely 1:'0 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, a union jack, specially made for this purpose by Lady Roberts, was hoisted over the presidenoy at Bloemfontein amidst the acclamations of the commander-in chief's battalions, in which, curiously enough, the Orange Free State burgh era appear to have joined with remark able heartiness. The opposition to the entry of the British troops into the capital was in signifcant. Boers were found occupy ing a few hills south of the place, but a few shells drove them off and at 10 in the morning some newspaper corres pondents entering the town found Mr. Frazer and other officials and guided them to where Lord Roberts stood on on top of a hill waiting for them. As spokesman Mr. Frazer asked protection for life and property and surrendered the keys. Lord Roberts, accompanied by his staff, rode as the head of a cavalcade a mile long to the presidency, reoeiving an ovation throughout the route, cul minating in a remarkable demonstra tion at the market square. Reaching the government buildings, Lord Rob erts took possession of the city in the name of the queen and then repaired to the presidency where the ceremony of hoisting the union jack ended forever, according to universal opinion here, the Boer government of the Free State. During his progress through the town Lord Roberts stopped and ordered the instant replacement of goods which were being looted from the artillery barracks by kaffirs, thus giving the pop ulace an earnest assurance of the treat ment they might expect from the vic tors. President Steyn fled to Kroonstadt without replying to Lord Roberts' de mand for his surrender and the com mander-in-chief remarked afterwards, during the course of conversation while breakfasting at the farm of President Steyn's brother, that the ex-president "had become a nonentity. British In Bilo nifouteiti. BLOEXFONTEIN, March 11S.-General Prettyman is sucoeeding admirably as governor of the town. He issued a proclamation today requesting the bur ghers within a radius a 10 miles to de liver up their arms, assuring them they would be paid for the confascation of their property. Lord Roberts is about to issue fresh proclamations, which it :.a considered will have the effect of disarming fur ther opposition upon the part of the Free Staters. Mr. Collings has been appointed land drost vie Paphenfs, deposed, and Mt. Frazer will act as mayor. Great quantities of stores captured at Wasserfall have been recovered. As the result of Hunter and Weston's line cutting the British have secured 26 en gines and the line has been cleared to the Kaffir river. Rumors are current that former President Steyn is willing togurrender. Much unrest exists among the Dutch population. The burghers described the soldiers as locusts, saying they are innumerable and identical with them. There is great rejoicing among women and children, who have been shut off for months. Great complaint is made of the harsh treatment by the Boers during the occupation. Rebels are coming in daily with their arms from the south. A number of other rebel leaders have been arrested. Kruger Says Unto.Death. NEW YoRK, March .15.-A dispatch from President Kruger .to The Evening Journal, dated Pretoria, via Berlin, says: "The burghers will only cease fighting with death. Our forces are re turning in good order to our line of de fense on our own soil The Natal cam paign was longer incour favor than we expected. The British will never reach Pretoria. The burghers, Steyn, Jouberr and myself, as well as all the others, are united. There are no differences. God help us." ___ Rhodes Says Crown Cotony OaE (oOLONY, March 1.-In an in terview published in The Cape Argus Cecil Rhodes is quoted as saying: "I feel strongly that we cannot have peace in South Africa so long as we have in the republic a rallying ground for dis loyalty and disaffection. To go fur ther. I do not think we can safely fed erate till we have had some years of crown colony government. Personally, I have dons with the bund." Joubert Praises British Soldiers. PRETORIA, March 15.-Before return ig to the front today General Joubert said to a press representative: "The courage of the British soldiers is be yond question. They rushed the kopjes and intrenchments in a fearless man ner, but were not a match for the Man sers which simply mowed them down. Government Moved to Kroonstadt PETOaRI, March 15. -State Secretary Ret: this morning posted the follow ig announcement: "Yesterday Bloem fontein was occupied by the British after the burghers had retired in a northerly direction. The seat of the government of the Free State has been already transferred to Kroonstadt&" ThreatenedI in Vaiu COaE TOWN, March 15.-The Trans vaalers at Bloemfontein threatened to turn their guns on the town if the peace advocates refused to fight, but the threat was unavailing. The war party fled. The British are now working the Free State railroad. Will Destroy Johannesburg Nw YoEx, March 15.-Montague White confirms the rumors that the Boers will utterly destroy Johannes burg if forced to do so. Pretoria could not be defended- he says, if Johannes burg were permitted to reman. A "Steele Bargain." Adam Steele of Shelby county once rented a tanyard to a Mr. Jones on shares. His idea was to risk in the business only the use of his tanyard and not to incur any further liability. So he protected himself by the fol lowing eafe clause in the contract: "If anything is made, the said Steele Is to have it, and if anything is lost the said Jones is to lose it." And this is known in Shelby as a reg ular Adam Steele bargain to this day. -Lexington (Ky.) Gazette. Badly Nanwtd.

DECATUR, Ga., March 17. - Hiram Sharpe, who brutally shot his defense less wife last December. has been found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to hang on April 9. The trial of Sharpe consumed the whole of yesterday and the case was given to the jury at 9:15 last night. Having made no verdict at 10 o'clock they were sent to the hotel for the night, and brought in a verdict this morning. The crime was committed on the morning of Dec. 6. last, and created considerable excitement at the time. The shooting occurred at the home of Mrs. Mary Sharpe, the mother of Sharpe's wife, about 5 miles from Li thonia, in the heart of Arabian district, a wild, deserted place in the hills of DeKalb conty. On the day of the afternoon of the fifth of that month Sharpe had been to this house and asked that his wife go home. She did not, however, and on the morning of the crime he went to the place for her, taking with him his gun. There he called his wife, and when she started with him, followed by her old mother, he shot both women, killing his wife. RAILROAD BRIDGE IS FIRED. Discovered in Time to Warn Train and Save Bridge. AUGUSTA, Ga., March 15.-An at. tempt was made to wreck the incoming train on the Charleston division of the Southern railway by setting fire to the trestle over Horso creek, a few miles from Augusta. The fire was discovered by the crew of an outgoing train on the Columbia division of the Southern road, which runs parallel to the Charleston division for a number of miles, and a flagman was sent to warn the outcom ing Charleston train. Ho had just started when the train was heard com ing, but the engineer stopped his train in time. The crews of both trains set to work fighting the fire and it was soon extinguised, but not before several crossties had been badly burned and one of the sleepers burned about half through. rueIo trestle is at an isolated spot and has twice bafore been fired by some un known party. GEORGIA'S FRUIT ESCAPED. The Freeze His Done but Little Dam 'ge In the State. ATLANTA, March 17.-Reports from The Constitution's correspondents at Griffin, Fort Valley, Forsyth, Newnan, Montezuma, Americus, Barnesville, Co lumbus, Perry, Rome and Marietta in dicate that he fruit crop has not been damaged to any extent. The advices from the peach belt are especially encouraging, and the indica tiona are that the crop will be the heav iest in years. Advices from Chattanooga say infor mation sent out by the Associated Press from this point as to the effect of the fruit crop is misleading. Pears and plums, it is agreed, have been greatly damaged, if not all killed, but other fruit has not been seriously hurt. Peaches han, not been damaged here very much and the berry fields are un injured. Countess Goes to Asheville. ATLANTA, March 16.-With the con cluding of the Bible conference at the Tabernacle Baptist church also comes the departure from Atlanta of the Countess Schimmelmann. who has been here during the past eight days, and who has made a number of friends and admirers in this city.

He was a little over 80 years old, has never married, but had accumulated an estate of from $10,000 to $15,000, which, on account his secluded lhfe and close manner of dealing with people, nobody can correctly estimate. Vegetables Badly Injured. SAVANNAE, March 17.-The tempera-. ture in the country adjacent to Savan nah went to 30 degrees last night.

WEARING OF SHAIROCK By the Irish Soldiers Is Regarded a Concession By Her Majesty and a Tributo to the Nationality, Which Ias Long Been Ignored. NEW YORK, March 19.-Mr. T. P. O'connor, M. P., in the London Daily Mail writes: "I am asked to state my views with regard to the momentous question as to the approval by the queen of the wear Ing of the shamrock by Irish soldiers and as to her majesty's visit to Ireland. "As to the wearing of the shamrock, it is the tribute to Irish nationality which will be greatly appreciated. The shamrock ma.erially is a small plant, but the wearing of it means to an Irish man centuries of sacred memories and country, wrongs resisted, hopes main tained. The wearing of it by the Irish soldiers, then, is a concession-I had almost called tremendous concession to Irish sentiment by the British throne, which must have vast consequences. "But, speaking assuredly in no spirit of carping objection, but as an illustra tion and a man, I point out that the conduct of English ministers toward this small qnestion is a very remarkable and significant example of the slowness and dumbness of wit, the want of imagination and sympathy which have characterized all the actions between England and Ireland. "While the Scorch soldier could wear the thistle without interference, while the Welsh soldier could wear the leek, the Irish soldier for years has been, by some stupid order, deprived of the privilege and sent to prison because he wore the emblem of his nationality. And when an Irish .member, session after session, csiled attention to the fact, he was howled at by many English members and he received either an ab rupt or hostile answer from the min ister. "And, now, after all the bitterness of these years, after the imprisonment and isults and all the rest of the contro versy is ended by the order of the high est and greatest figure in the realm. I will not say, as can be said about so many other cencessions to the Irish, "Too late, too late,' but assuredly the conclusion has not come too soon. And, now, as to the visit of the queen to Ire land. If, in this act, if I may use the word, a statesmanlike and eloquent proof, added to the many others, that the present sovereign is one of the wis est that has ever ruled these lands." A QUE5TION OF AUTHORITY. The Ceur d'Alene Investigation Be comets More Complicated. WASHINOTON, March 19.-The Oeur d'Alene investigation was resumed to day by the committee on military affairs, with J. A. Fornoy, special prosecutor on the stand. Mr. Hay of Virginia, di rected the examination with a view to disclosing how far the United States troops were under the control and di rection of Governor Stonenburg and his executive officers in Shoshone county, Bartlett Sinclair. Mr. Hay asked if General Merriam was the responsible commander, not only of the troop., but also the affairs in the disrict in gen eral. The witness said General Mer riam was not the responsible com mander, as the governor and Mr. Sin clair directed affairs. To a certain ex tent they controlled the United States forces. Mr. Forney said the troops were sent there to aid in suppressing the insur retion, and they did this by co-operat ing with, and assisting the state offi cials. Mr. Hay stated that while he did not question the rnght .of the governor to control troops or the right of the presi dent to send them, he maintained that the president had no authority to place the United States troops under the con trol of state authorities. Questions by Mr. Lentz brought out that Bartlett Sinclair was a civil offieer under the law, but that he exercir .d certain military authority, in order to make effective his civil authority. SESSION OF' THE SENATE. Mr. Beveridge to Spenac on the Puerto Rican Bill.

Statisticians sometimes have queer ideas. One of them has amused himself by calculating how much energy, water and coal it would take to move the earth a foot, supposing that it was sub jected throughout its mass to a force equivalent to terrestrial gravitation. This is a gratuitous supposition, for in spite of its enormous mass the earth weighs nothing. Starting with the fact that the earth's mass is about 6,100 million-million million tons, our statistician calculates that we should require 70,000,000,000 years for a 10,000 horsepower en gine to move our globe a foot. The boiler that should feed this engine I would vaporize a quantity of water that would cover the whole face of the globe with a layer 300 feet deep. The vapori zation of this water would require 4,000 million-million tons of coal. This coal carried in cars holding ten tons each and having a total length of 30 feet, would require 400 million -million cars, which would reach 80,000,000 times around the earth. This train, moving at the rate of 40 miles an hour, would take more than 5,000,000 years to trav erse its own length. It would require for storage a shed that would cover 1,000 times the area of Europe. If we realize that this fantastically huge amount of energy is nothing at all compared with what the earth possesses in virtue of its rotation about its axis, its revolution about the sun, and its translation in space with the solar sys tem, of which the earth is but an in finitesimal part and which itself is but an infinitesimal part of the universe, we may get some idea of the importance of man in the universe and estimate his incommensurable pride at its just value. -Nature. DANGEROUS PIGS. The Peccary Is Wholly Fearless and Will Fight Man or Beast. A writer in the St. Louis Republic says that the most vicious and fearless member of the brute creation is the pec cary, or wild hog, of Mexico. This ani mal seems utterly devoid of fear and dis plays an intelligence in fighting man strangely at variance with its apparent ly complete lack of mental attributes. Their ability to scent men is particu larly marked. The only thing to do when they get after you is to run away from them as fast as a horse can carry you, and then there is no certainty that they won't catch you. They are nearly as swift as a horse, and their endurance is as great as their viciousness. A friend of mine encountered a drove of them in a wild part of Mexico a few years ago, and his escape was almost miraculous. He very foolishly shot and wounded a number of them. Then he took refuge in a tree. The peccaries kept him in the tree all that day and through the night. They circled round the tree, grunting and squealing their delight at the prospect of a feast. He soon exhausted his am munition and brought down a peccary at each fire, but this had no terrors for the beasts. Toward morning they began to eat those he had killed, after which they formed in line and trotted off. If they had not had some of their own number to devour, they would have guarded that tree until my friend, through sheer exhaustion, dropped from his perch and allowed them to mnake a meal of him. The wildcats and tigers that infest the Mexican wilds floe from the pec caries with .instinctive fear, and even rattlesnakes keep ont of their path. A Bit of London Weather. Our weather ia grown decidedly good for itbelast three days-very brisk, clear and dry. Before that it was as bad as weather at any time need be. Long con tinued plunges of wet, then clammy, glarry days on days of half wet (a kind of weatber peculiar to London, and fully uglier than whole wet)--a world of black sunless pluister [a sof t mixture, neither one thing nor another], very unpleasant to move about in! The in cessant travel makes everything mud here, in spite of all that cdats [a clat, a wooden scraperj and besoms can do. A kind of mud, too, which is as fine as paint and actually almost sticks like a kind of paint. I took, at last, into the country, with old clothes and trousers folded up. There the mud was natural mud, and far less of it; indeed little of it in comparison with other country. We dry again in a single day of brisk wind.-Carlyle Cor. in Atlantic. Not Very Pathetic. An Ohio woman visiting Boston for the first time has been doinlg the sights. "I had my greatest thrill down at Copp's Hill burying groud," she said. "Yes, that's just the place for the historic emotions," commented her in terlocutor. She smiled. 'As soon as my sister-in-law and I got into the place," she said, "I found myself almost stepping upon a grave with an inscription on a queer little iron cover sort of tomb. I jumped back, feeling the way you do when you step on a grave, and read the inscription, just three initials, no name or date. 'Isn't it pathetic?' I said to my sister in-law. 'Oh, I don't know,' she answer ed, 'B. W. W. means Boston Water Works.' "-Boston Transcript. Iiourglassen In a London Church. Nearly everybody is aware that at one time it was the custom in many churches to regulate the length of the sermon by an hourglass, which stood on the pulpit immediately fronting the preacher.
