AN EFFECTIVE - CARTOON Mr. Kruger Has Received Reports Es timating the Number of Boers In the Field at 15,000- Rebels Getting 31any Recruits From Cape Colony. Nnw YoRK, Sept. 26.-Concerning the South African situation the London cor respondent of The Tribune says: While there are no fresh reverses in South Africa, there is an undertone of public discontent with the conduct of the war and the results of paper diplom acy. Olubmen of all parties are laugh ing heartily over Gould's effective car toon, entitled "On the Links of the Empire." To Golfer Asquith, comment ing casually of the unsatisfactory war news, Golfer Balfour replies: "What war; the South African? Why I thought that was finished on the fif teenth. We fixed the date." That cartoon, with characteristic poses of both men, expresses grimly the pub lic impatience over what is now gen orally regarded as a silly farce in at tempting to end hostilities by proclama tion. Mr. Chamberlain has always been credited with the authorship of -the proclamation, and his enemies, Tory and Radical alike, do not spare him. Equally effective strictures are found in the Conservative journals, like the St. James Gazette, upon the appointment of Generals Buller, Wood and the Duke of Conneaught as commanders of the first three army corps under the scheme of reorganization. Mr. Kruger has just received reports estimating the rebels in the field at 15, 000. Probably this is a greatly exag gerated number, but the Boers are still getting many recruits in Cape Colony. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach is now be lieed. to have enough money in hand to carry on the war until the end of Jan uary. Deaths In Concentration camps. Imm-Dopt, Sept..26.-The official re turiisust issued, show that the South African concentration camps in August contained 137,620 person.

CLEVELA'ND, Sept. 26. - The Iron Trade Review, discussing the iron sit uation this week, says: "The transactions of the week indi cate sustained and widespread activity in iron and steel, with advances in prices of some material. Lrge purch ases have been made in the past week from valley furnaces, and it is estimated that 80,000 to 40,000 tons were taken by the leading interests, not to mention Apwards of 10,000 tons of basic iron. Thes purchases, in addition to some me by other steel companies, proba bly bring the total of the week's trans s oninusteolmiaking pig iron in the vleys and Pittsburg to 60,000 tons. "The price paid for Bessemer iron was $15.25 s valley furnaces, about 25 cents higher than quotations made in the re cezit period of quietness in Bessemer ro.Temaintenance of the $15.25 bis iss gnificant of the disposition of large ihterests to have the presen~t level of prices preserved. "Allowin gfor the appernce of ex traordinary qctivity that. has followed the ending of the steel strike in the si multanueous efforts of many buyers to gt their orders in early, there are suffi cent data to warrant confidence in a strong market well into next year."

NEw Yon, Sept. 28.-Home from Scotland after spending the summer as the guest of Andrew Carnegie at Skibo castle, the Rev. D. S. Mackay, pastor of the Fifth Avenue Collegiate church, in an interview, told of the development of Mr. Carnegie's philanthropic Dlans, of his intention to return to the United States in November and Mrs. Carnegie's co-operation with her husband in dis. pensing the great Carnegie fortune. Mr. Mackay said: "Mr. Carnegie is a very busy man. His latest benefaction was to provide the churches of Scotland with organs. So far his secretary told me there had been provisions for 350 organs, costing from $1,500 to $3,000, so that nearly $1,000,000 must have been expended in this way. Mrs. Carnegie is fond of music, and although nis munificence threatens the popularity of the bagpipe, I believe the organs will do much to soften the austerity of the church ser vice. "Mrs. Carnegie has entered heart and soul into her husband's plans. Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie and their daughter Mar gayet will return to New York on the steamship St. Lotis early in November. Their New York home will not be ready for occupancy by that time, but they have decided to come, anyway, and there will be no change in their plans. "Mr. Carnegie's only reference to business matters while I was with him related to the strike of the steelworkers. He said he could have prevented the strike if he had been in Pittsburg to confer with the men." MKINLEY'S GOOD DEEDS. His Solicitude In 31stters Concerning Public Safety.

Among other things it men tions that when the yellow fever ap peared in the National Soldiers' Home at Hampton, Va., in 1899, he showed extreme solicitude for the veterans and requested and received a daily report on the progress of the disease and the suc cess of the measures to check i. ENGLAND'S WAR CHEST. No Autumnal .;ession of Parliament For Replenishing Same. NEW YoRK, Sept. 27.-Discussing the South African situation, the London correspondent o. The Tribune says: "Three ministers attended the king's council yesterda.y, but it was a formal function and offered no justification for the rumors that there would be an au tumnal session' of parliament for re plenishing the war chest. "Mr. Chamberlain remained for some time with the king after thb council, and without doubt was closely ques tioned respecting the situation in South Africa. "Campaign expenses have been pro vided for until the end of January, and there is nothing to indicate any inten tion on the part of the military auth'ori ties to dispatch reinforcements on a large scale."

Restoring the Polisn. Says a housekeeper: "My piano, which had been covered with a cambric cor, was loaded with dust that had sifted through the sleazy cloth. The dust was too thick to be wiped off. It should have been blown and lightly whisked off first, but this my maid did not do, and in consequence the grime was wiped in for all I know with a damp cloth. At all events the highly polished surface was clouded over al most to a gray, -and I was in despair until a friend suggested a remedy. She advised me to wring as dry as I could a piece of chamois from out a b~sin of water and rub the piano until the chamois was bone dry. This I have done and completely restored the pol Good Hearted.

STARVATION THREATENS Unless Assisted by the Governinur Great Suffering Will Result-Out put of Gold For Nome Distric: Esz - mated at $5,000,000. PORT TowNswND, Wash., Sept. 25. According to reports from Nome, brought by the steamer Oregon, the Indians of that section are threatened with starvation. During the past few months about 300 natives have via. ited Nome, bringing furs to trade for supplies. As soon as their goods were disposed of, however, whisky peddlers got among them and they exchanged the proceeds of their sales for liquor. The Indians have again camped on1 the beach generally in a drunken stupor, allowing the season to pass, in which they could lay in supplies of fish for use during the long winter period. Unless they are assisted by the government it is said suffering and starvation will surely follow. Destitute miners from outlving dis tricts are arriving at Nome. The United States ship Bear on Aug. 31 landed 18 men at Nome. These men were found on the beach at Kotzebue sound, penni less and out of suppl:es. They had for some months been living upon what fish they could catch and game they could kill. This party joined in the rash to Kotzebue in 1898 and have been there ever since. They report that during three years they failed to find more than a few colors of gold. The Nome banks have given out an estimate of the output of gold for that district for the season. They place the amount at $5,000,000, which is only $500,000 more than last year. . HELD BY BR;GANDS. Ransom of. 25,000 Turkish Pounds Wanted For 31iss Stone's Return.

W. WAGENER;E Curios!ties oz ne Cacao Tree. The cultivation of cacao, saysi a writer In The Scientific American, is an Invit Ing agricultural pursuit in Trinidad and parts of Venezuela. The cacao tree cannot withstand strong sunshine, and the young plants have to be shaded by banana or plantain trees and later, when they attain their growth, by tall trees known as "immortelles." or the "mother of the cacao." These make a kind of canopy over the entire planta tion. The fruit of the cacao tree is a pod resembling a cucumber and growing on the trunk or large branches, where it "looks as though if were artificially at tached." The seeds are like large, thick lima beans imbedded in pulp. These form the cacao beans of commerce. The processes of curing and drying require much attention.

On. leaving the house he was surprised to see another boy in charge of the horse. So be asked: "How's this? You are not the boy I left my horse with." "No, sir. I jist spekilated and bought him of the other boy for 10 cents.' He said as how you were only worth a nickel, and I says you were good for a quarter. See?" The boy got the quarter and went around the corner, where the first boy was waiting under an open window in the home of the horseman's friend.

"Into no department in life," says Yuan Mci, a Chinese authority on cooking, "should Indifference be allow ed to creep; into none less than into the domain of cookery. Cooks are but mean fellows, and if a day is passed without either rewarding or punishing them that day is surely marked by negli gence or carelessness on their part. If badly cooked food is swallowed in si lence, such neglect will speedily be come a habit. Still, mere rewards and punishments are of no use. If a dish is good, attention should be called to the why and the wherefore. If -bad, an ef fort should be made to discover the cause of the failure." A Rletlary.
