By the Way. A steady rnd deepening silerce at the front gives tine iim^ression that big events are impendiug. There is always this awful pause on the eve of big events. Besides, it bears out what is known in London officially of Lord Roberts's preparedness to move. Tha question of the length of her Majesty's stay in Ireland is again arising. It. has been generally understood that she would not leave till the 26th. arriving at Windsor on the 28th. It has been rumoured within the last few- days, how- ever, that the Oneen's health has been benefited in so marked a manner during the f)?,S(; fortnight that she may prolong her visit for a. few days. She has oro- ntised not to go away before Punohes- town Rri.oe3 (on the 24th and 23t). The probability is that she would leave there on the 2th or 27th. T}n t the newspapers of tho world are using no the forests for their fuopufK cr paper is a well-known fact, but there are probabV- few ppoplp who will not bo' startled at the announcement made by one of the chief New York papers that its Sunday Ier number would take ali the wood" of 40 acrcs of virgin forest. This journal claims to use in its morning and evening editions some e-leven acres of woodiand prmlncinv about 7 000ft. to the acre. On Sunday, therefore, some- thing like 2S0.000ft. of timber wa-s med for the suoply of reading matter to New York by this pne paper alone. The statement that has been pub- lished. that the Duke of Teck was in [ charge of the convoy whictl fell into the trap at Koorn Spruit, and that he has since then. been missing, is in part true. The Duke obviously was not in charge of the convoy, because such an important escort would be commanded by a major, whereas the Duke is only a captain. As he was trancport-omcer for the Compo- sites and has some experience in that work, the Duke may have been in chargc of the wagons, while the actual command of the escort was held by a superior o?l;c.t. It is partially true to say that he has been missing. As a matter of fact, he went down on leave to Cape Town, to meet his wife and her sister*, who went over in the same steamer with Lady Roberts. Prayers blessed by a hadji can be obtained by dropping a coin in the slot machine which has been placed in a street in Algiers. Affixed is a notice in Arabic, to the effect that any miscreant who dares to cheat the Prophet by annex- ing a prayer in return for a disc of lead or a spurious coin "ill be consigned to eternal punishment, without the nope of entering Paradise by any subsequent earthly act ot reparation. English automatic machine companies would m'o- bably be glad to have such penalties for swindlers at their disposal. At Eden 'Hal!, Penrith, where the Princess Victoria of Wales is now the guest of Sir Richard and Lady Musgrave, a rare specimen of an Oriental drinking glass, e with an, okh fairy legend, is preserved and exhibited with the utmost care. The tradition is that a servant going in the fifteenth century to a well near the hall there surprised a fcan-l of fairies, and seized the cuo out of v.'hicii -they had been drinking." The fairies, after vainly trying to recover the vessel, departed, one uttering as they went the ominous words. ''Whene'er that, cup ,,11H break or fall, farewell the luck of Eden Hall." One of the British Commissioners, who was present at the opening of the Paris Exhibition, writes to our London correspondent that the function itself was a great success, but that the exhibition is not nearly ready. Indeed, ho says there is nothing yet to see, and to have opened it at. all in such a state of incompleteness is a marvel. He is much impressed with the artistic beauty of the Salle des Fetes, which he describes as twice the size of the Royal Albert-hall, but as holding only 14,000 pcople-a few mere than the Albert-hail. The way in which the scaffolding with which this huge hall was fitted up to within three days of the opening was removed excited my correspon- dent's admiration. Cables were fixed to the scaffold supports, and the cables, being pulled from without by locomotives, brought down the whole with a run, and in thirty-six hours soldiers had cleared awe.y every trace of the debris. After to-day the halfpenny vermilion postage stamps of the United Kingdom will cease to be issued from St. Martin's- de-Grand. According to the circular recently sent out by the Posstmaeter- General to the postmasters throughout th3 country, the new halfpenny gre-3H stamp should be on sale to-day, although in local London and in provincial and rural offices the postmasters will con- tinue to sell vermilion until their exist- ing stock is exhausted. This is uot the first occasion upon, which our British halfpenny stamp has been printed in green. In 1880 the halfpenny stamp, in design not unlike the present vermilion, was issued in a. green tint. The change which takes effect to-day is the result of a resolution of the Postal Union th,t all stamps which pay a halfpenny—or its equivalent in the postage charges of all nations—should be coloured green, thus securing simnlicitv and uniformity in the interests of the u^blic and of officials in all the countries within the Union. The Prince of Wales had originally intended to leave Copenhagen on his return yesterday, and would hav3 come direct to London, whence he would have one to attend the Newmarket Spring Meeting, which he never misses. Marked surprise is, therefore, felt at the change in his plans, by which he will leave Copen- hagen on Thursday. It is not to be under- stood that any circumstance connected with the attack on the life of his Royal Highness has caused this change of plan. Nor need it necessarily be ascribed to the sore throat from which the Prince is suffer- ing. The sore throat is understood to be the result of achill, and is not suffi- ciently acute to keep hi? Royal Highness Trithin doors, so that it would not be likolv to prevont him travelling home. It is probable that other reasons detain the Prince, for the Roval House of Denmark is so closely connected with the Throne.^ of England and Russia that it becomes a medium for the most friendly communica- tions especially when the peace of the world is in any way prejudiced. The men of the Powerful who were in Ladysmith are now on leave, and I (writes our London correspondent) came across one of them at a West End rail- way station-. red-haired Irishman, who was quite willing to talk, and not averse to being petted. He attracted atten- tion by his thin, pinched face, suggest- ing that he was invalided. On looking at his cap I &aw the explanation in "H.M.S. Powerful. He had not been wounded, but his hands had been fright- fully knocked about. His pinched features were the result of those famished latter days of the siege. Like a truo Irishman, he definite^, though good-humouredly, laid everything at the door of the Government, asserting that they ought to have laid in a greater store of provisions. But he did not suggest how the Government could possibly have foreseen so long a siege. "Jack," in his picturesque way, admitted that for the first two months it was "high feeding," that is to say, he explained, "we had full rations," but every week after they became shorter. The typewriter now has its expert. Such cn individual has appeared in a recent trial in New York, in which it was sought to determine whether a certain paragraph in a type-written document had been written when the document itself was made or had been inserted at some subsequent time. The opinion of the generality of type- writers is that the ability of experts to differentiate between different writings is grossly exaggerated, as all the machines of a good make use the same type, although it is possible to distinguish between the work of a cheap machine and of a good one, and, under certain circumstances, the difference in the touch of two different writers is by no meails impossible to bo seen. Still the circumstance that the writing of the same operator on the same machine will vary considerably at different times, in accordance with the newness of the ribbon or the number of sheets of paper which are written on at the same time will, the "Birmingham Daily Post" hopes, prevent too much dependence being placed on the testimony of '"typewriter ex- perts" if any of them are called in our courts of law. -=-

| CARMFF. ST. JOliN BAPTIST. The Easter vestry of St. John Baptist, Car- diff, was held on Monday, when the vicar, Canon Thompson, D.D., presided. The vicar nominated Mr. A. W. Sergeant as his warden for the twenty-fifth time, and ITr. T. H. Stephens was unani- mously re-appointed the people's warden. The accounts (which were passed) showed that at the commencement 01 the year there was a balance in hand of £33, offertory collec- tions amolwted to £ 535, and voluntary contri- butions in lieu of church-rate reached £E>6, making a total of The church expenses, including curates' stipends and sundry objects, ab50rd £ 635, leaving a balance in hand of £30. Mr. W. Foster was appointed lay- elector to associate with the churchwardens in the election of ay eleleiates for the diocesan eonrerenc.-Callon Thompson again called attention to the injury to the tower of the church caused by the smoke from Nell's brewery. It was. he remarked, a very èrj Ü6 matter, and only those who, like himself, had the task of restoring the tower three years ago ceukl appreciate the damage done. The smoke in dense clouds fell by its own weight upon the surface of the tower and not only made it ) unsightly but ate into the face of the stone. When Lord But.e waut round with him before the tower was restored he held up his hands in horror at what he saw. and was surprised I that it was allowed. The vestry were prtv oared to settle matters amicably with their neighbours, but, as business men. they were bound to protect what he considered the most valuable treasure which Cardiff possessed— II the old town tower. If the c-hminey stack wore run up an additional 20ft. or. psrhaps, mere and a better class of coal were used, the nuisance might be considerably abated—Mr. Sergeant proposed the following resolution. — "That this vestry is of opinion that the mis- chief caused by the smoke from Messrs. Nell's brewery might be greatly remedied by carry- ing up the chimney stack to a greater height I and by the company habitually using a better class of coal. It atjo expresses a hope that the directors will see their way to speedily carry out these suggestions-'—Mr. T. H. Stephens seconded.—Cauon Thompson rs- inarked that the Church had certain legal rights, and these legal rights ought to be I respected.—The resolution was carried unani- monsly- A vote of thanks to the vicar was aJio passed.—In acknowledging this compli- ment, the Vicar stated that the number of communicants in the parish last Sunday reached the record number of l,300i compared with 1,160 last year- He believed that was un- precedented in any parish west of the Wye. ST. ANDREWS. The vicar, the Rov. Dr. Horatio Nicholson, D.D., presided at the Easter vestry meeting at St. Andrew's, which was but sparsely attended. The vicar had much pleasure in re-appointing Sir. P. S. Fisher as his warden, and adde-e! a few remarks in recognition of that gentleman's great kindness and energy during the year.— Mr. A. A. James was re-aiipointod as pe'^le's ¡ warden, whereupon the Chairman said that during tho past year thera had been uninter- rupted harmony between Mr. James and him- self.—The retiring sidesmen—Messrs. H. L. fcimpson and Edwards and Dr. Shepherd—were re-inftat-ed, and the names of the following were added:—Dr. Temple Morris, Mr. Hy. White, j' J.P., and Mr. E. Horley (solicitor).—Mr. Ed. Brett was re-elected honorary lay delegate to represent the vestry at the diocesan conference. —Mr. A. A. James, in submitting the church accounts, said they appeared to be satisfac- tory, there being a balance on the right side of £ 1 la. lid., but the position, looked at more carefully, was not to satisfactory as it .sesmsd to be, inasmuch as the current expen- diture had not been met from tho offertories. iTiey commenced the year with an adverse balance of £2) 0s. lHd. A movsment was than started in the vestry, a.nd was so generously sua scribed to that in the course of a few weeks the deficiency was wiped out, and they began the year practically with a new sheet. Appeals, he pointed out, had had to be made to meet the deficiency. The offertories for amounted to £372, or aai average of .£7 3s. per Sunday. Since then, however, there had been a gradual falling off, and the average Sunday collection had been raduced to £4 18s. The churchwardens in this matter had not received from the congregation and worshippers the support they were entitled to expect, and they locked forward to an improvement in the coming year.—The Chair- man pointed oat that the opening of the new ennroh of St. Teilo and the removal of many friends were facts that mnst be taken into account in considering the deficiency.—The' accounts wore adopted on the motion of Mr. Simpson, who differed from the vicar's opinion that the opening of St. Tedo's was in part responsible for t.he diminution in the Sunday collections.—Mr. ililner: It was tho openicg of St. James's that made all tha difference.—Mr. H. T. Hawkins: I think it i9 to bo attributed, to the musical pari of the programme.—Mr. Simpson: This is not a i concert, Hawkins—Mr. Milner: Spiritual teaching we want,—Mr. II. S. Fisher, as vicar's warden, said it was absolutely painful to see the number of people who always allowed the offertory bag to pass in the most indifferent manner—people, too. in a position to contri- bute—-vh: let others, equally well to do, only put into the bag the smallest coins of tho realm.—Thanks were parsed to the audi- tors, Messrs. Edwards and Charles Evans, t.he latter a, retired churchwarden, who was specially thanked for his gen or ana benefac- tions. The ladies were also thanlfed for their effective Easts-r decorations.—Mr. Hawkins asked if the organist, (Mr. Gee) could not be asked to play tihe hymns a little faster.—The Vicar said he did not think the organist would entertain the suggestion, which was permitted to fall through. ST. MARGABET'S. Tho Easter vestry meeting in connection with the parish of Koath was held in the old school-house, the Rev. F. J. Beck (vicar) presiding. The account.3 for the past year •were read and adopted. They went to show that tod voluntary cihurch takings had realised £35 13s 5d, as against £25 14s. 3d in the preceding year. The total receipts were £349 163. 10d, a.nd the disbursements £ 362Is.3d., thus leaving a. debit balance of £12 4s. 5d. The Vicar re-apiiointed Mr. C. II. Williams as his warden, Mr. E. B. Reece was re-elected parishioners' warden, and Mr. D. R. Williams va-s appointed lay elector to represent the parish at the Diocesan Conference. The whole of last year's sidesmen were then re- elected, and tho meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the vicar. ST. GERMAN'S. The annual meeting of St. German's Vestry was held on Monday. The Rev. It. J. Ives, vicar, presided, and amongst those present were Dr. Herbert Vu-hell and Mr. Geo. David, —T'ie Vicar re-appointed Dr. Sheen as his warden, and Mr. Geo. David was re-appMnted people's warden.—The vicar's sidesmsn Rn- pointed were Dr. II. Vachell, Messrs. Jenkins Knott. Stc-vens. and Morgan, and th9 people's sidesmen Messrs. Jewell. Kirk, Pounccy, Bon- ner, and Pattison —The accounts for the year were sucnutted. Theje showed that ths total receipts amounted to £46J, from which, how- ever. £150 must he deducted for special col- lections and missions, leaving £319 to be applied to the work of the church. It was Eta ted that last Easter there was a, defi- ciency of £14, that this debt had been wined off. and a balance to the good ot £2 38.. the first time in the history of th» ciiurch that there has been a balance on the right side.—The vicar wag requested to con- voj. the thank; of ths p:1,rishin;ers to the donor of the fine east window; and votes of thanks wera also passed to the organist (Hr. ^iggui3), the members of the choir, M. Her- man, auditor (who wae re-elected), and to the vicar for presiding. ST. CATHERINE'S.

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT RI-CRUITS 'I'o IAOLD THEM SELVES IN READINESS. In regard to the embodiment of the Militia, as ordered by Royal Proclama- tion a little over a wep-k ago. an impor- tant. development has taken place in the sense that all Militia recruits of the 4th Somersets. 3rd South Wales Borderers, and Ord Welsh Regiment, who will be eighteen years of age by the 1st of May. who have completed recruits' drill, and who have volunteered for service in South Africa, are to hold themselves in readiness to embark on the 28th inst. In the Order issued by the War Office on Monday it is stated that, in the case of auy Militiamen who had not previously volunteered for service abroad, but who have now done so, their names will be added to the above numbers. The authori- rities. however, do not intend taking any steps to call upon them to volunteer. These Militia recruits will be formed into one party, representing the Western District, which embraces the counties of Brer-knock, Cardigan, Carmarthen, Cornwall. Devon. Glamorgan. Gloucester, Monmouth, Pem- broke, Radnor, and Somerset. The com- manding officer for the district is Lieute- nant-general Sir W. F. Butler. It is inte- resting to note tliat about a hundred of the' recruits stationed at the Cardiff Bar- racks have volunteered for active service, and, of course, will be included in the above-mentioned number.

General Chermside's division marched here on Saturday from Redder.sburg, and came in sight of the Boers at eleven o'clock in the morning. The enemy retired rapidly over the hills towards the south-east. On Friday night a party of Boers camped within four miles of Redders- burg. The camp fires were still burn- ing when we reached the spot yesterday morning. General Run die's division is now at Reddersburg. Wepener is still holding out. Confirmation of the report of General Brabant's victory, first supplied by the "Daily Telegraph" correspondent at Cape Town, enme to hand later in the day from th Cape Town correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph Company. The mes- sage ran — It is reported that General Brabant has defeated the Boers at W«pcner, and captured their guns.

The camp of the Third Division has been pitched seventeen miles to the eas-h of the railway. The enemy are supposed to be in the vici- nity, but it is not thought probable that they will attack. Colonel Dalgety, wiring from Jammersberg Drift, on Sunday, reported all well, and the enemy were [1¡,pp-ar>entiy slackening in their attack.—Renter's Special Service. BOER HE PORTS* OF RECENT OPERATIONS. BOER CAMP AT BRANDFORT, Friday. Fighting with Brabant's Horse round Robin- son's Mill at Jammersberg Drift continues. Meanwhile Commandant Petrus Do Wet is reported to have engaged troops who were sent from Bloemfontein to General Brabant's assistance. There was heavy fighting all yesterday at Fourteen Streams, but the result is not yet known. A brush has also occurred with the British column advancing towards Buitfont-ein with- out any decisive result. All foreign attaches, including those of Russia and the Netherlands—Colonel Gourko and Lieutenant Thomsen—are now here.

MR KilUCER VISITS BRANDFORT. BLOEMFONTKIN. Saturday- Mr. Kruger has paid a visit to Brandfort. where the Beers are collected in sam" force Hia presence at the front now srenerally por either immediate action of an offensive kind or the necessity of heartening up his bnrcbers. Whether he has visited the Free State on this occl1<;ion as a strategist or as n missionary can be, for the p.rsent, only a matter of con- jecture. But it is very doubtful whether any aggressive movement is eor;temri.lated. The fact that the large force laying eiege to Wepener firds the capture of the small and isolated bodv commanded by Colonel Dr.lsrety an operation of such nnexoectsd difficulty ha apparently decided the enemy to confine them- selves to purely guerilla tactics.

POSITION IN NATAL COLLIERIES "DESTROYED Bit DYNAMITE. From the "Daily Telegraph"; Special Correspondent. By Special Arrangement for Simultaneous Publication. LADYSlulTM. Monday (9.55). Natives report that the mines destroyed at Wessels Nek are Ramsay's, the Natal Steam, and Wessels Nek Collieries. Thp destruction mu-t. not be looked upon ns isuoiio. The mines were shut down prior 1 to hostilities, owing to the met that the companies were more succcssful in working thicker seams on the Biggarsberg plateau. The Wessels Nek group of mines have thin seams, although they contain a quantity of coal of good quality. This does not lessen the enormity of the Bo ers' dastardly conduct, which is resented by every Colonist. The mines would have been of great commercial value in the present condition of the market, coal selling here at from 55s. to 70s. a ton. The Boers are down again at Dewdrop, east of Ladysmith. LADYSMITH. Monday >3.45 1t,.mJ. Native scouts employed by the Intelligence Department have juso reported that the Boers ill the Eiandslaagte district have retired beyond the Biggarsberg. GJhcr information goes to confirm the truth of thie. lire recent activity of the- enemy is now believed to have been hut a feint to cover their withdrawal. Our patrols are scouting now towards the late Boer positions. Further reports from our r.ative scouts show that a party of Boers from De Jagger's Farm, near Wasclibank. were engaged in wilfully destroying property last Saturday. They suc- ceeded in wrecking with dynamite three col- lieries near Wessels Nek. engine-houses, works, and shafting being destroyed.—Central News. r 1

POWER OF THE ENEMY DECREASING. LINE OF COMMUNICATION WORKING PERFECTLY. BLOEMFONTEIN. Monday. The Boers are reported to be contemplating a. retreat from their positions in the south. The last reports of the proposals of the Repub- lican delegates which have reached here con- firm the impression that tihe power of the enorny is on the decrease. An attempt to cut the line has been com- pletely foiled, and the conditions are now such that a large force can be concentrated at any point with great rapidity.-Reuter.

WHY BULLER WENT TO NATAL. As throwing litht upon why General Buller went to Natal, Mr. Winston Churchill, writing in the "Morning Post" on Monday; cays:- On ona occasrion he even went so far as to describe the operation he had proposed as a forlorn h -pe,' so dark and gloomy was the situation in South Africa during the first fortnight in November. It -e7a,3 "tated that the general was crdered by the War Office to go to Natal, and went there against- his own w jJ and judgment. This, however, was not true: and when I asked him he replied: 'It was the most difficult business of sll. I knew what it meant, and that it was doubtful whether we should get through to Ladysmith. I had not the nerve to order a subordinate to do it. I was the big man. I had to go myself.'

SHOCKING CYCLING ACCI- DENT. TWO BROTHERS KILLED. George Bills (Id) ar-d John Bills C20), brothers, who were butchers' assistants at Buxton, left tliere on Sunday, at 7.40 a.m., on a. brakeless tandem for Flint- liam, a village between Nottingham and Newark, with the object of paying an Easter visit home. Fifty minutes later they were found lying in a gravel pit on the side of the Aldington Dale, a dauge- rouslv steep hill. Both were doubled up. and presented a shocking spectacle. George, who was steerer, had his head terribly cut. Dr. Tentem. of Bakeweil, who happened to be passing, pronounced them dead, and the bodies were con- veyed to Taddington.

COLLIERY WARNING, The attention of all persons employed underground k directed to the impor- tant changes which appear to be about to, take place in the atmospheric condi- tions over our coalfields. Low pressure areas have been for some weeks unusually numerous, but the barometer has now commenced to rise strongly and steadily. The disturbances are passing off, and making way for an anti-cyclone. It is very desirable, therefore, that before the resumption of work after the holidays, every care should be taken to ensure safety against gas accumulation or too dry coal dust.
