omitted, says a Pretoria (Transvaal)
exchange. And, while most of the oth
er issues remain unsettled, this issue
lias been settled finally and forever, by
the triumph of the pajamas. For years
the buttle between the "new-fangled"
pojamas and the old, reliable night
gown of our forefathers had been
waged with varying success, the pa
jamas gaining a strong yet uncertain
foothold in the cities of the seaboard
and making occasional incursions in
to tfie interior, the nightgown holding
the inferior and keeping up a harassing
guerrilla warfare in the suburbs of the
seaboard cities. Now, will not the of
ficial declaration of the United States
government that pajamas are the true
garments for heroes and must be worn
by their troops in the tropics inevitably
drive the forces of the nightgown to the
wilderness, where they must inevitably
be slowly exterminated? Pajamas are
undoubtedly the most civilized possible
night dress. In pajamas a man is ready
for anything, lie is at once undressed
for bed and dressed for night emer
gencies of fire, strange noises in the.
basement, or sudden descent of a foe,
whether burglar or Filipino. In a
nightgown a man is ready for nothing.
In appearance lie is ridiculous. In feel
ing lie is wretched. In ability to face
his fellow beings he is "not in it" at all.
Next to the habit of daily bath, pajamas
ere the most valuable gift of the ori
ent or the Occident.
Growth of Fortunes.
Every day we hear people saying that
the vast combinations of wealth are
freezing out the individual, and that a
man has not the chance for money
making that he once had, says the Phil
adelphia Saturday Evening l'ost. Let
us look back a little! At the beginning
of the century the largest fortune in
the United States was considerably un
der half a million dollars. Twenty
years ago a fortune of $50,000,000
wemed to be almost touching the limit;
and yet here we are talking about $200,-
000,000 in the name of one man, and
there does not seem to be so much alarm
about it as over the lesser sum in the
days gone by. Without parading a lot
of figures and estimates, it may fairly
be said that more new men have be
come millionaires since 1890 than in
any other ten years of the nation's his
tory. So it will probably goon. For
tunes will grow larger, and there will
be more wealth and more opportunities.
Fast mail trains are a growing insti
tution of the country and have proved
their great value and immense possibili
ties. A new day begins at midnight.
At this hour, or soon after, the fast
mails pull out, cleaning up completely
the correspondence of the day before
and moving abreast of the day just
opening. As they speed on they give
along their routes special facilities be
fore the sun rises. They are the early
birds of business. They practically
save a day and often two days. The
simple reason for their success is that
they make the earliest start, beating
the lark by hours, and getting ahead
of breakfast time by half the width of
a state. Nothing is further from the
truth than the assertion that fast mail
trains serve only special interests. They
are of universal advantage, to small
towns as well as large, to country as
well as city, and they have become in
dispensable.
The eastern papers give an account
of an aged woman who has regularly
walked once a year from Bangor, Me.,
to New York, 450 miles, for the enjoy
ment of the thing, since 1824, when she
was lfi years old. Marquis de La Fay
ette was then visiting America, and the
girl, Mary Ilarley, being too poor to
ride, walked to New York to see him,
paying her way by selling pencils on
the road. She enjoyed her trip so
much that she has since then repeated
it annually. .She is now turned 90, yet
does not look so old, and seems to be a
person of natural refinement. On her
trip this year her sales of pencils proved
inadequate for the first time to meet
her frugal expenses, and on reaching
New York she was obliged to apply to
charity for aid, when her curious feat
became public.

liant sorties. Accounts from different
sources agree that the laconic otticial
description of Thursday's engagement
as "an effective shelling of the Boer
laager" was unduly modest. It
appears that Gen. White sent a strong
force of cavalry and infantry to attack
the Boers at Tatham's farm, about ten
miles to Ihe northward, and apparent
ly achieved a surprise, the liners being
caught on top of the veldt and cut to
pieces and their camp captured.
Encouraged by this success Gen.
White decided to risk an even more
important engagement on the follow
ing day, which was again justified by
success. Ladysniith had been isolat
ed and a Boer force had intercepted
the railway between Ladysniith and
Colenso. This force on Friday de
scended upon Colenso and compelled a
hurried abandonment of Colenso and a
retirement of the British to Kstcourt.
Gen. White had ascertained that the
lioers were attacking Colenso. but he
was not aware of the British retire
ment. Be determined therefore to
attack the Hoers in the rear, thus hop
ing to achieve the double object of
drawing off an attack upon the weak
garrison of Colenso and possibly of
reopening communication southward.
The Boers had advanced southward
until they had occupied the hills north
of Tugela river and dominating Colen
so on the other side of the stream. The
hills slupe to a plain that reaches to
the banks of the Tugela. Gen. White's
division caught the Boers in the rear
and after the hills had been shelled
the British infantry stormed the posi
tion. Meanwhile the? British cavalry
swept around the hills and as the re
treating enemy descended into the
plains with British bayonets behind
them and the river in front of them,
they were charged by the cavalry and
seem to have perished almost to a man.
The British then returned to Lady
sniith without coming into touch with
the Colenso garrison, which retired to
Estcourt.
London, Nov. 9.—To the eyes of mili
tary experts the darkest page of the
war is now being written. But even
lhat is illuminated with bright pas
sages, such as Gen. White's victorious
sorties. If he can keep the British
flag flying over Ladysniith until he is
relieved, the campaign will turn a
fresh page and with the advance of
(ien. Puller's force the British public
is: promised more cheerful reading.
This feeling of relief inspired by re-
cent {rood tidini>"S is nevert l.eless
tinged by a certain anxiety lest Gen.
White should apa in nrike some fatal
miscaleulation involving a repetition
of the Xicholson s Nek disaster.
The most interesting news is a dis
patch from Hstcourt announcing the
departure of a strong force of mount
ed troops and artillery for a destina
tion not (riven in the advices. Anoth
er message announces the arrival at
Ksteonrt and I'ieternnrit/biirjr within
the last few days of reinforcements
from Durban, and that .'i,SCO troops are
assembled ready for an advance lo t'o
lenso when the opportune moment ar
rives. The latter dispatch throws
liirht upon the former, and the force

hands with him.
London. Nov. 11.- Complete silence
lias again fallen upon affairs in S eitli
Africa. The Hritish public must per
force be content with the brici stereo
typed report which the censor allows
to filter through from Cape Town.
That this condition of things is no
longer due to pressure of work or de
fective cable has been amply proved.
The Fustern Telegraph Co. reckons
that the real delay in transmission is
about two days. It is evident there
fore that the censorship is responsible
for the other two days of delay which
seems to befall all the dispatches.
Moreover the Telegraph announces
that its "appropriated" dispatch front
ladysmitli, dated Monday, was not
delivered in Fle< t street until Thurs
day morning. Tt is believed that the
war oflice received further dispatches
last evening, but nothing has been
published.
The statement from Ladysmith
that the Hritish guns do not reply to
the Hoer artillery because the concrete
beds for the guns have not yet naro
encd is interpreted in some cpiaricr.-
to mean simi I.\ that, the Hritish are
husbanitlng their ammunition, as the
Boer lire is only a trick to get the
r.iitisli to waste shells.
Among the few items that have ar-
rived from the Cape to-day is one say
ing lhat the lioers are planting more
guns in the hills surrounding' l.ady
smith. All the correspondents in the
beleaglired town are safe and anxious
to reopen communication.
The latest advices from Kimberl.v,
dated November 2, say all was well
there.
The war office has received from
Ceil. Muller the following 1 dispatch.
"112 apo Town, Nov. 9. Ilanf received
by pigeon post from Gen. White to
day the following': 'The bombardment
at long 1 range by heavy guns contin
ues daily. \ few casualties are oc
curring'. but no serious harm is being
done. The I'oers sent in to-day a
number of refugees from the Trans
vaal, under a (lag- of truce. A ting of
truce from Lady-smith met them out
side the pickets. When the party sep
-1 arated the lioer guns fired on it before
it reached our pickets. Maj. Gale, ot
the Royal engineers, was wounded to
day while sending' a message. The

The most noteworthy feature of the

higher in January. I soft, woolen goods
in July, ls!tl ami even the products ol

as high as they were in January, IS'iO.
Such wide discrepancies in advance
cause inneh embarrassment but are the
natural characteristics of a rise which
is mainly dm not to concerted action
in any trade lint to the pressure of a
consuming demand, the greatest ever
known, which for the time evcecds

results begin to justify the conserva

many branches of business.
The iron industry, which has led all
others in the advance, now leads the
way toward :i readjust mem of values.
While contracts for pig cover the en
tiro product of the most important,
districts for six to nine months in ad

in some lines approach the end of their

Philadelphia, Nov. 11.— As a result
of an investigation conducted by an
anti-Quay newspaper five men .all res
dents of Washington, were yesterday
held in bail for court on the charge of
repeating, impersonating election offi
cers and making fraudulent returns.
The defendants are lohn F. Sheehan,
E. -M. Drinkert, William Cook, llarry
MeCabe and (leerge Kirkland. All but
one are said to be in the government's
employ. It developed that Kirklan 1
had been employed by the newspaper
mentioned to enter the conspiracy. He
'.viis the principal witness Friday . The
testimony involved several prominent
politicians in this city and a lieuten
ant of the Capitol police at Washington.
Kirland related in detail all
thflt happened from the time of their
arr'val until tin ir arrest at the rail

Continuing, the witness said: "Salt

the polling place. On our arrival there
Silverman and Cook unlocked the
boxes and we put the ballots in. There
