SHOOTING A BOER. m Attempted Escape and the Result. REMARKABLE COURT MARTIAL AT DEVON PORT. At Devonport yesterday a remarkable case was heard before a district court-martial. Gunner Charles Davies, Royal Garrison Artil- lery, was charged with making a false state- ment yhen joining the Army at Gloucester in April. It appeared that the prisoner con- fessed on June 6 that he was Private Love- ridge, of the 4th Battalion Gloucester Regi- ment when joining the Army at Gloucester in unfit. In a written statement the prisoner pointed out that while serving with the Glou- cester Regiment in February of last year he was on sentry duty at St. Helena, and had the misfortune to shoot a Boer prisoner who was trying to escape. This preyed on his mind, and he was placed in hospital as insane. Sub- sequently he was sent home, and discharged in September, receiving a pension of 6d. a day. He sought employment, but did not succeed, and, feeling in good health, he joined the Royal Garrison Artillery.—Captain Jennison, R.G.A., bore out these facts, and said the prisoner shot the Boer under great provoca- tion. He was honourably acquitted of any consequences of the act.—The sentence of the court on the charge of making a false state- ment will be promulgated in Jue course.

COMING TO ENGLAND. General Lucas Meyer Sails from Cape Town. Cape Town. Wednesday.—Among the pas- sengers for England by the Union Castle liner Briton are Mr. Lucas Meyer, ex-Boer general, and Colonel Sir William and Lady Knox. The Constitution Defence Committee has'issued a manifesto stating that, now that the retention of the Constitution has been decided upon, no real cause for division among loyalists remains. It urges loyalists to allow nothing to divert them from the maintenance of true Imperialism, and appeals for the abolition of racial feeling and the harmonious working of the two races in the interests of the Colony and of tho Empire, in ordSr to make the Parliament a success and to secure the passage of all measures indicated by the Imperial Government—Press Association. Dutch Thanksgiving. Cape Town, Wednesday.—Next Sunday, the 13th inst., will be observed in the Dutch Churches in Cape Colony as a day of thanks- giving for peace.—Press Association. Revelations may be Expected. Bloemfontein, Tuesday.—The Murator of the late Boer Government's official papers recently handed over the whole of the documents to a representative of the military authorities at Pilgrims Rest. They include confidential reports, giving a complete history of Mr. Kruger's relations with foreign Powers, together with all the. ciphers and a mass of other papers. All these are now being trans- lated and arranged by the director of the Intelligence Department at Pretoria. Basuto Chiefs Alleged Treachery. Bloemfontein, Tuesday.iOwing to alleged treacherous conduct on the part of Joe;, one of the most prominent Basuto chiefs, during the war, it has been decided to summon him to Maseru to stand his trial for high treason. Some mounted infantry and a section of the 14th Battery have gone to the Basuto frontier to provide against possible resistance. The attitude of Lerothodi, the paramount-chief, is causing some uneasiness, a3 indications are not wanting that he may support Joel if the latter becomes recalci- trant. Jonathan, who is a very powerful chief, is entirely on. the side of the British.— Press Association.

WOUNDED AT LADYSMITH. Returned Soldier's Third Effort at Suicide. Last night at Wincham, Northwich, Joseph Young, 27, who was a member of the besieged Ladysmith garrison, was seen by a woman named Garner to walk deliberately into a pit. An alarm brought William Vernon to the spot. He jumped in and rescued Young, who was unconscious for two hours, during which Police-constable Braen applied artificial respiration. Young was subsequently taken into custody. Yesterday, at Northwich Police-court, Young, who belonged to the King's Liverpool Regi- ment. was charged with attempting to com- mit suicide by jumping into a. pit at Wincham. Prisoner was wounded by shrapnel in Lady- smith. and after the relief was invalided home on a pension. He pleaded drunkenness. The police sa id the prisoner had previously attempted suicide. Once he walked on the railway and another time he jumped into the canal.—Prisoner was remanded.

A SERIOUS FIRE. A fire broke out on Wednesday in a grocery shop belonging to Signor Pranzini, in the Via Rizelli. in the centre of Boulogne, owing to some petroleum barrels having exploded. The fire spread to the neighbouring houses and threatened to extend to the whole of the centre of the town. It was, however, got under. Con- siderable damage was done, and several persons were injured, none of them, however, seriously.—Renter.

THREE MONTHS IN BED. Old people have their closing years made miserable by diseases peculiar to old age- Aching Backs. Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Sciatica, Stone and Bladder Troubles, Urinary Disorders. Yet it should not be so. It is a pity to see old people ending the even- ing of life in pain and misery when it might just as easily be passed in happiness and comfort. Mrs. Ealey, of St. Minver, Cornwall, an old lady. was confined to bed for three months. Her back was so bad. it was agony to move. Despite her age, she was cured. After taking Dodd's Kidney Pills she wrote: "Now I have not an ache or pain in my back." These aches, these pains! They are all through the kidneys. Make the kidneys well and you banish them from the system. Old age is made happy and peaceful, like the close of a summer's day. Dodd's Kidney Pills make the kidneys well, keep the kidneys well. Well kidneys drive out disease in young and old. Dodd's Kidney Pills are the surest kidney cure in the world. Dodd's Kidney Pills are 28. 9d. per box, of all Chemists, or post free on receipt of price from The Dodds Medicine Company, 2o. Far- ringdon-avenue, London, B.C. Remember the name, D-o-d-d-'s.

HOW TO CHARGE. If they know how to make dresses in Taris, it would appear that they know how to charge also. A lady who has paid her dress- maker £12.400 in the course of four years applied for a reduction of £5v"O in the charge for repairs and alterations, which, it was con- tended, was excessive. One of the items dis- puted was jM for repairs, which consisted of simply sewing on a button; and, another was JS.3 for slight alterations of a dress. The court, adjourned the case for expert opinion. There may, therefore, be another side to the dispnie. As the matter stands, however, the lady appears to have some reason to com- plain.

DESPERATE DEEDS. An American Outlaw's Crimes. MURDERER OF SEVEN MEN STILL AT LARGE. San Francisco, Wednesday.—Harry Tracy, the notorious desperado, who recently escaped from prison at Salem, Oregon (and whose desperate exploits we re- corded on Tuesday) is still uncaptured. During last week he roamed about the j country round Seattle, constantly entering farmhouses, and compelling the occupants at the point of the pistol to give him food and clothing. Since his escape from prison (says the "Daily Mail" correspondent) he has killed seven men, including the other convict, named, Merrill, who accompanied him. Tracy was pursued for a long distance yesterday by the sheriff's officers, several Indian scouts, and bloodhounds, but he escaped besprinkling the ground with cayenne pepper, which entered nostrils of the dogs and caused them to lose the scent. The pursuit was resumed to- day. Tracy is well-armed, and has sworn never to be taken alive. The whole country has been astounded by his desperate deeds.

PEACE SUNDAY AT MARGATE. In the case against the Chief-constable of Margate, in which he was fined for disobeying an order of the justices to issue summonses against licence-holders in the borough for keeping their houses open during prohibited hours on what is known as Peace Sunday, the justices consented to state a case in view of an appeal. At the borough petty sessions yesterday, how- ever, a letter was read from the town-clerk stating that the chief-constable would take no further proceedings in regard to the case, and asking that he should be re-instated. The chief-constable made formal application to the justices, and the chairman announced, tha.t they had considered the circumstances and decided to withdraw the suspension of the chief-constable and the order for the sum- monses.

DARING ATLANTIC TRIP. Captain Newman and his son Edward, a boy of sixteen, sailed from New York for Falmouth yesterday in a small launch. The vessel is only 38ft, long, and has an engine of 10-h.p. She uses kerosene oil for fuel. The boat carries 600 gallons of oil and provisions for 60 days. The engine was designed by Mr. Feodor Hirsch, of New York, its inventor, who claims wonderful things for it. Captain New- man expects to reach Falmouth in about twenty days. Nautical men praise his pluck, but regard the trip as extremely hazardous.

MOTHER'S NOVEL DEFENCE. A woman who was summoned at Lambeth Police-court for falsely representing that her son was of an age at which he could legally be employed pleaded that she had so many children that she had confused their ages.- Her solicitor also argued that it must be shown that the mother knew the age she gave to be false.-The Magistrate: If a mother doesn't know the ages of her children, who does?— Defendant: I quite forgot.-The Magistrate: Pay 20s. and 4s. costs.

FENCING A FRONTIER. The Dominion Government have decided to build a strong wire fence along the border of Alberta and the State of Montana. For years ca.ttle have strayed across this border and given rise to savage disputes between Cana- dian and American cattlemen. It is expected that the fence will keep the herds of cattle on their respective sides and be a factor in maintaining the peace between excitable cow- boys.

THE SEARCH FOR

HOME PICTURES. Cardiff Men Sued by Dealers. JUDGE OWEN ON THE WAYS OF CANVASSERS. His Honour Judge Owen had some strong remarks to make in Cardiff County-court on Wednesday while hearing a series of sum- monses brought by John Harrop (Limited), of Manchester, against residents in Cardiff and neighbourhood to recover money on contracts for the purchase by defendants of pictures of Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone and Lord Beaconsfield. to be paid for by instalments. Mr. Leek, solicitor, of Manchester, appeared for the plaintiffs. The pictures were sold for 25s. each, and in deciding the first case in favour of the plaintiffs his Honour remarked that the pictures were worth, perhaps, 2s. 6d. each. He could not understand why people, if they wanted pictures, did not go to a respectable shop. Mr. Leek: I think I must say that my clients are respectable. His Honour: I don't think they are respect- able. (Applause.) Mr. Leek pointed out that there was a printed notice on the back of the pictures stating exactly what they were. His Honour: Do you suppose they ever look at that? Mr. Leek: I don't know, I'm sure. Defendant admitted that the picture was shown to him before he signed the contract, and his Honour remarked that he was bound to give judgment against him. He would make an order for 2s. a month. In a summons against Edward Davies Mr. W. B. Francis defended. Under cross-examina- tion the agent who sold the pictures denied that he had represented himself to defendant as coming from the Liberal Association at Cardiff. Defendant stated that the picture was repre- sented by the agent to him as a steel engrav- ing. His Honour: I have not the slightest doubt that he did. Plaintiff: May I ask a. question* His Honour (loudly): No. Defendant added that plaintiff called at eight o'clock in the evening and said he came from the Liberal Association at Cardiff. He would not take" No" for answer. His Honour: I wonder some of yon men are not big and strong enough to kick these men out of the homse. They force their way in and won't go when you tell them. Defendant said, further, that he was doubt- ful about the picture being a steel engraving, but he was not able to tell himself whether it was or not. In dismissing the summons with costs. His Honour stated that he was clearly of opinion that the defendant was induced to enter into the contract by the false representation of a. witness, who said he came on behalf of the Liberal Association. On several of the contracts submitted the name of the plaintiff firm had been altered in writing from John Harrop to Harrop and Co. (Limited). His Honour remarked that he was sorry to say he had formed an opinion of the witness called for the plaintiffs, and that he could not believe him. He declined, therefore, to act on the contracts, in which one word had been struck out and another substituted. Mr. Leek said the alteration was easily accounted for. Previously to the 7th of April last John Harrop was the proprietor. The firm then became a company. His Honour repeated that having regard to the opinion he had formed he should decline to act on the contract that had been altered. Mr. Leek: You are mistaken His Honour (hotly): Up to now you have conducted a difficult case with propriety; but I am not going be told I don't understand my law by a solicitor, even one from Man- chester. Mr. Leek apologised, and said he meant, with all due respect, that his honour had not understood his statement on the point. He had a duty to perform to his cliente. His Honour: Oh, I don't blame you. and you are now doing your duty with perfect propriety; but the whole system is so dis- honest and so improper that I form the strongest suspicion of any of these agree- ments which are altered. Mr. Leek said in several cases the whole sum had been paid, except 4s. 6d. His Honour: You have been very lucky. (Laughter.) Mr. Leek: And no one has attempted to return the pictures. His Honour: They have offered over and over again to return the pictures and forfeit the money already paid, but without effect In several other cases a more serious point was raised, as the defendants one after another declared that the signatures in the contract were not their own. Hia Honour impounded several of the con- tracts. and said, "I hope someone will take this up and teach these people what forgery is, and it will be a good thing for the neigh- bourhood." Two defendants signed their; names at Mr. Leek's request, and the signatures were handed up to the judge, who accepted the statement that they (defendants) had not signed the original contracts, and dismissed the summonses. Mr. Leek said he should take steps to prose- cute these people for perjury. Thereupon his Honour remarked that he would not order any more to give in their signatures, and he dismissed summonses on denials by the defendants o.f the genuineness of the signatures. The last case called on was adjourned at Mr. Leek's request. Defendant's wife had appeared for her husband, and swore that the signature on the contract was not his and that nothing was signed by him at the time of the transaction. Mr. Leek wished to have the hus- band subpoenaed, and the adjournment was granted, but only on condition that the costs of the woman and her solicitor were paid within the week. If that did not happen, the summons would be dismissed. Some few 6f the contracts were held to be in order, and. while commiserating with the defendants, his Honour gave judgment against them.

STRAWBERRIES TOO CHEAP. Market Glutted and Growers Losing Money. Strawberry growers are discovering that an abundant harvest may spell ruin to them. Covent Garden Market is glutted with straw- berries. Thousands of pecks—there are about 121b. to a peck—have come into the market from Cornwall. Kcnt, and Hampshire, and consignment after consignment has been knocked down to the hawkers at Is. per peck, or Id. per pound. The wholesale price of the finest lots was only Zs. a peck. "We have been in the market between sixty and seventy years." said the principal of one firnl ofi salesmen, "and we ha,e ne,er had such a eorry tale to tell. The growers have lost some hundreds of pounds in conse- quence of the excessive supply, and it is ques- tionable whether they will gain anything on the whole season."

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY. Interesting Naval Experiments at Cherbourg. Successful experiments iti the application of wireless telegraphy to submarines have been made at Cherbourg. A mast with receivers was fixed to the sub-marine Tridon. The vessel, after plunging below the surface. received signals transmitted from the central sub-marine station with perfect clearness. Sub-marines will now be able to communicate with stations on land and with one another. The system used at Cherbourg has been invented by Lieutenant Tadie.

II SOUTH AFRICA. "STARTLING RESULT." Slade, Fishguard, December 21. 1900. Gentlemen,—I have great pleasure in testi- fying to the marvellous healing properties of "Mannina" Ointment No. II. I suffered for years from several wounds on my left leg. some of them several inches across, and two very bad ones near my ankle. These wounds were of a most virulent character. They were very painful-Bo much so that for weeks at a time I had no rest day or night. I spent scores of pounds on various ointments, but without receiving any benefit. and the doctors gave me up. Finally. I was given up entirely, and I never expected to live many weeks. While in this hopeless condition I was per- suaded to try the "Mannina" Ointment, and the first night I applied it I slept well and enjoyed my first night's rest for many weary weeks, and from thati time on the leg con- tinually improved, one wound after another healing Up" beautifully, until to-day I am practically cured, and as well as ever. I feel I could never speak highly enough of your wonderful Ointment, and I confidently think that I owe my life to its marvellous healing virtues. I shall aways recommend it wherever I can, and I hope you will make use of this, so that other sufferers may benefit in the same way I have done.-I remain, Gentlemen, gratefully yours. JOHN GARNON.

At Oldham Police-court yesterday a wild- looking man, named Edward Carney, was brought up on a. charge of wandering about apparently of unsound mind.—Police-con- stable Stanfield said he saw the prisoner wan- dering in Beaver-street last night. and acting in a very strange manner. He brought him to the police-office, and the doctor who examined him said the man was acting. At this point the prisoner stamped about the dock, and shouted out, "It's very hot, though it't cold." (Laughter.) Dr. Yates: What have you to sayP—Pri- soner: Oh. I'm all right. The Chairman: What do you work at?—Oh, Im a. Catholic. The Chairman: there do you come from?- Ireland. 'The Chairman: Where from in Ireland? -I don't, know. but I'm not an Irishman nor a Catholic. What am I? I am a gentleman, and belong to the service. The Chairman said the Bench were in a quandary as what to do with the prisoner. Ultimately accused was sent to gaol for four- teen days.

According to a telegram from Bonn to the "Ijokalanzieger," as the Crown Prince was out driving in a dogcart yesterday, the horse fell. throwing his Highness to the ground. The Prince, who was accompanied1 by a member of his suite, was uninjured. and was able to continue his drive.

CROW AS ELECTRICIAN. A crow has been getting the Calcutta Tele- phone Company into trouble. It built its nest at the central office where four wires con- verged. and used tin clippings and bits of wire for the purpose, with the result that it established complete electrical communica- tion between the whole of the four lines. When a, subscriber rang up someone he wanted he was answered from four different offices at once.

J Miss Craddock, 21 Bayswater Terrace, Roundhay Road, Leeds, said to a reporter of the Leeds Saturday Journal:— a When I was seventeen, I suffered greatly with anaemia. I became deathly pale and very tP thin, feeling too languid to move, and frequently troubled with headaches. A doctor was consulted t¡ A and I took more medicine than I ever want to see again. But as time went on I only grew weaker, more pale, and thinner. I was not inclined to eat at all, and when I did take a little it did not agree with me. I became breathless after the slightest exertion, and this was particularly noticeable when V I went up stairs. ? Amongst my friends were several girls who were suffering like myself, but there was one who A began to look well and had once more the bright and healthy appearance she had at school. One day I asked her how she had managed to pull round in such a surprising way. She simply said J Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People cured me: try them.' I did so^ and soon began not only IT V to feel better but to notice an improvement in my appearance. My colour oecame brighter, I could dfb eat with more relish, while the tired and depressed feeling and shortness of breath left me. Since then I have flourished, to the surprise of all who know me, and to the delight of my own relations. J Anaemia attacks Men as well as Women.

The return of Lord Kitchener once more directs public attention to the stirring epl. sodes which have taken place during the past three years in connection with the Boer War. The public mind naturally reverts to the gloom of the winter of 1899. The feeling of relief which was experienced when it was known that Lord Roberts, the preserver of British India, and Lord Kitchener, the reclaimer of the Soudan, were to take charge of the military operations in South Africa, the feeling of jubilation which was occasioned by the exploits of our troops in connection with Mafeking, Ladysmith, and Kimberley, ant. last, but not least, the sense of confidence inspired by Lord Kitchener's well-conceived and effective system, having for its object the gradual annihilation of the Boer forces-all these events have been powerfully depicted by Mr. J. M. Staniforth in the series of cartoons which are now being published by the Western Mail." Mr. Staniforth has been well described as the Welsh Tenniel, and an examination of his War Cartoons will satisfy the public that his work is of the best and most graphio type. In years to come, when the Boer War is discussed in the same way as we now discuss the war in which Wellington and Napoleon were the most distinguished actors, Mr. Staniforth's books will be treasured heirlooms in many families in South Wales. No home should be without this remarkable work, which is being published at the ow price of 6d. per volume, in order that it might be brought within the easy reach of all classes of readers. The first cartoon is dated August 30, 1S99. Mr. Chamberlain had used the significant words, "Will he speak the necessary words? The sands are running down in the glass." And the Colonial Secretary is shown holding up to "the silent Sphinx" the hrmr-glast. The cartoon of October 12 IIh, Mr. Kruger. picking up the gauntlet in the lists, pre- pared to enter the struggle which has now closed. The rallying of the Colonies; the patriotism of the Irish people, in contradistinction to that of their Parliamentary representatives; the. disillusionment of the Boer at the bra-very of Tommy Atkins; the voica (Mr. W. T. Stead) crying in the wilderness to stop the war; the abuse of the foreign press-, the attitude of the official Liberals in placing fin-tacks on the Government seat—all these phases are amongst the subjects chosen for cartoons which speak more eloquently than pages of print. Mr. Staniforth's unfailingly cheerful outlook on the course of events is shown in the cartoon of November 8, 1899-a. time of great gloom. In this Mr. Kruger is subjecting the British lion to excruciating torture by twisting his tail, and a companion picture below illustrates the British lion "aoon"; that is, trotting off with his tormentor inside him, and a very satisfied look on his face. It wanted nearly three years to realise this pleasant prophecy! "The Unkindest Cut of All" is' the title of a delicate piece of sarcasm. An unfor- bidding Boer is inviting the squadron of 13th Hussars captured at Glencoa to step out of the train and "Change 'ere for Pretoria." Full justice is done to the significance of the Boer successes, and Gatacre's reverse at Stormberg is depicted by two pugilists—one John Bull with a. black eye, and the other Mr. Kruger with an air of superior omnipotence. "A Round in Favour of Kruger it is called. "John Bull" with his ear to a stone wall illustrates the acute anxiety that prevailed at home during the silence that preceded Vaal Krantz; John Bull in a. frenzy of delight, with Buller and (White joyously clasping hands in the background, illustrates the enthu. Biasm with which the news of Ladysmrch's relief was received. Six cartoons tell the story of Mafeking and its relief. In one the maiden calls for succour; in another John Bull awaits anxiously the news. armed with a big drum, and decorated with flags and fireworks all round. Baden-Powell is still at the wicket batting cannon balls, "215, not out." And, finally, John Bull puts his drum and flags to vigorous use. "The Casual" is a. cartoon which suggests the nomadio nature of President Steyn's Government, the Preeidcnt being shown as a. tramp carrying a. broken chair on his back. and closely followed by Lord Roberts in the garb of a policeman. Humorous and pathetic, according as the occasion demands, always sympathetic with the great feeling of the public, Mr. Staniforth's cartoons are the most interesting record of the war and its phases as seen from at home and abroad that has been offered to the public. The cartoons are excellently printed on good paper. The first volume deals with the period from August. 1899, to July, 1900, the second volume with the period extending from July, 1900, to ths conclusion of the, war. Order at once from your bookseller or newsagent. The First Volume is now ready, and Orders will be executed at once. Volume II., covering the period between July, 1900, and June, 1902, is in course of preparation, and will be pub- lished shortly.
