Grimm and the Doubting Child.
One day a well-dressed child, about
eight years old, called at the house of
Professor William Grimm, the man
who wrote the delightful fairy tales,
and asked to see him. Looking at
the professor, the child asked: "Is it
thou who hast -written those fine fairy
tales?"
"Yes, my dear," replied the professor;
"my brother and myself have
written the tales."
"Then t)?ou hast "also written the
tale of the little tailor?the one where
it says at the end that whoever will
not believe the tale mustpay a dollar?"
"Yes, I have written that, too."
"Weil, then, I do not believe the
tale," said the little one, "and so, I
suppose, I have to pay a dollar; but I
have not so much money now and can
only give you part on account. I will
give thee seven cents uow and pay the
rest: by and by."?Chicago Record.
Carious Facts About Calendar*.
There are some curious facts about |
our calendars. No century can begin j
on Wednesday, Friday or Sunday, j
The samr calendars can be used every j
twenty years. October always begins
on the same day of the week as January,
April or July; September as December.
February, March and November
begin on the same days. May,
June and August always begin on
different days from each other, - and
every other month in the year. The
first and last days of the year are always
the same. These rules do ncl
apply to leap year, when comparison
is made between days before and aftei
February 29.

London* (By Cabled?General Buller beRan
his final move for the relief of Lady3mlth
several days ago. He succeeded in
crossing the Tugela River with hardly
any opposition on the part of the Boers.
General Buller's forces then advanced, and
all reports showed that the armies of the
republics made a fierce and determined
defense of their entrenched positions.
On Sunday the War Office received the
following dispatch from General Buller:
"Spearman's Camp.?General Warren has
jeen engaged all day, chiefly on his left,
which he has swung forward about a
couple of miles.
"The ground Is very difficult, nnd, as
the fighting is all the time up bill, it is

"At daybreak Tuesday morning the
Boor3 opened ? stiff fire. The British stood
to the guns, where they had slept, and the
engagement was resumed vigorously. The
ield artillery poured shrapnel into the
ueray s trencues.
"A rumor that Ladysmith has been relieved
enlivened the British, who 9ent up a
ringing cheer. This was taken for an advance.
The first kopje was carried at the
point of the bayonet, and the Boers retreated
to the next kopje, which, like most
other?, was strewn with Immense boulders,
jurmounted by mounds on the summit.
"The British advanced steadily, and the
Boers relaxed slightly. The latter did uot
jhow such tenacity as previously. Their
N'ordeufeldts fired at long intervals, and
.heir cannon fired but seldom. Apparenty
the Boers were short of big ammunition.
' All day the roar of musketry continued.
The British took three Boer positions 011
;he mountain and found shelter behind the
ooulders."
A dispatch to the Chronicle from Spearman's
Camp, dated late Monday, says:
'General Warren continues pushing the
jnemy, though necessarily he is making
very slow progress, the Boers belug numerous
and strongly Intrenched on the
kopjes they hold. They have several good
guns mounted, but the greatest effect Is
produced by their Maxims and rifle3.
"Our infantry is working over parallel
ridges with Lord Dundonald's cavalry lying
well out on the left flank awaiting developments.
General Warren's artillery reopened
lire Monday morning. The Boers
did uot reply and our fire became less
hot. The naval guns here have been
juiet.
' A Boer prisoner here has boasted that
It would take us three months to reach
Ladysmith."
The censorship is very strict, but the
latest tolasrrams allowed to come through
confirmed the reports that the progress of
the British was very slow and difficult.
The telegrams, however, left too raueh unsaid
to enable a realization of the precise
disposition of the British forces.
Meantime, the very moderate total of the
British casualties aud the small proportion
of deaths showed a very different handling
of the troops compared with many of the
previous engagements. It also furnished
proof of tlie correspondents' statements
concerning the growing skill of the British
soldiers of availing themselves of cover
like the Boers.
An incident of Sunday's fighting was an
attempt of the Boers to turn the extreme
British left. The manoeuvre was defeated,
however, by the artillery and the Devonshire
Regiment.
The Times's correspondent concurred
tflth some otliers in saying that the Boers
ised the gun;i captured at Colenso in opposing
the British advance.

Bridgeport, N. J. (Special).?The Cor
oner held an inquest Into the death o!
George B. Eyre, the Chester clubman and
athlete, whose body was found in the Delaware
River, near here, Sunday. At the in
quest Dr. George C. Laws told of the dis
coveries he made at his autopsy on Eyre'f
body. They prove the crime to have beer
mo.?t brutal, the murderer most determined.
They Indicate that, although tlx
dead mau was stripped of his valuables
some other motive than robbery Incited the
deed.
Evre diaanDeared on December 21 last
while he was gunning on the Delaware
Dr. L;tws found that h charge of shot had
been tired from behind into the unfortunate
man's head. And it had been fired at
such close rnnge that a hole two inches ic
diameter hud been made in the skull. Some
of the shot and two gun-wads remained
imbedded in the brain.
No man could have lived an instant lifter
receiving so terrible & wound. Yel
Eyre's savage assailant rained blow atlei
blow on his bead, smashing his stall into
thirty pieces. Then the murderer tied n
weight to bis victim's legs and dropped
him overboard. But, happily, tlxe weight
became detached and the river gave up its
secret.
From the character of the gunshot wound
and the direction of the shot Dr. Laws is
certain that the gun was tired by a man

positively known of the identity of tha
murderer. The Coroner's Jury found a
verdict, "Death from gunshot wound at
the hauds of parties unknown." Evre'a
body was taken to his former home at
Chester! Penn., where for a month his
mother and sister have waited, praying
that ho be restored to them in safety.
Chief of Police Berry, of Chester, had
two men under surveillance. Chief Berry
gives ipuch Importance to an anonymous
letter he received a fortnight after Eyre
disappeared. This letter, written in a
woman's hand, without attempt at disguise,
informed the police that Eyre had
been murdered for jealousy and that his
body would be found Just where It was
found.
Eyre was the admirer of an estimable
young woman who lives in Philadelphia.
He called on her the night before his disappearance.
She strenuously denies
knowledge of the anonymous letter.

Washington, D. C. (Special).?The report
of the Board of Construction declining

handed to the Secretary ot the Navy. A
minority report Is submitted by Rear-Admlral
Philip Hlcliboro, Chief Constructor,
the only member of, ttin, board who is favnrnhin
tn tha nurchiise of the Holland. It
is shown by the board's report tlmt Its actioa
was based on a proposition from the
Holland Torpedo Boat Company to sell the
Holland to t^e Government for $165,000,
or, with certain modifications, for $170,000,
or to build ^wo new and larger boats in accordance
with plana submitted by the company
for $170,000 each.
Four of the members of the Board united
in a m/jjority report favoring the rejection
of the proposition, based on the fact thai
the company Is now a delinquent in the
case of the submarine boat Pluuger, on account
of which the Government has already
paid $99,716, with no likelihood of
her completion In the near future. If the
Smpauy makes satisfactory settlement for
