BOERIEADERS IN ENGLAND
BOTHA, DEWET AND DELAREY RE
CEIVE A WARM. RECEPTION.
Main Object of Tour Is to Collect
Honey tor the Families of Burst
ers "Who Died la War.
SOUTHAMPTON, Aug. IS. Generals
Botha, Dewet and Delarey arrived here
this morning and met with a great recep
tion both, from Government officials and
the public The Boer Generals looked well
and evidently were m-rch pleased at tho
heartiness of the -welcome accorded them.
Soon after landing they boarded the
steamship Nigeria, where Joseph Cham
berlain, the Colonial Secretary; Earl
Roberts and General Lord Kitchener
greeted them. They were also introduced
to Mrs. Chamberlain and Lady Roberts,
with whom they chatted for eomc time.
Official arrangements had been made to
permit the Generals to witness the naval
review, but after a conference with
Abram Fischer, the ex-Boer delegate,
who came from The Hague, it was an
nounced that they Intended to proceed di
rect to London in order to reach Holland
as speedily as possible. The Generals go
to Holland to pay their last respects to
the memory of General Lucas Meyer; who
died of heart disease on August 8.
General Dewet, In conversation here,
-confirmed the statement that he and his
companions will visit the United States
before returning to South Africa.
LONDON, Aug. 16. The Boer Generals
reached London In the course of the after
noon and were loudly cheered in the
streets. Asked why they had declined the
government's Invitation to witness the na
val review, the visitors remarked that they
were "too tired after the long war and
needed a rest." It Is still uncertain
whether or notvthey will return to Cowes
to see the King.
Tho scene at the railroad station on
the arrival of the Boers was remarka
ble. An enormous crowd gave them a
welcome as hearty as that given to Lord
Roberts and Lord Kitchener when they
arrived her from South Africa; Shouts
of "Good old Dewet," "Our friends, the
enemy" and "Brave soldiers all" were
frequently heard amidst salvos of .cheers.
General Dewet was fairly cornered by
a mob and had to be rescued by the po
lice, who by sheer- force cleared a line
of retreat for him.
General Dewet's secretary tonight stated
that the Boer Generals had accepted an
imitation to visit King Edward at Cowes
tomorrow. After that, he said, the Gener
als expected to give out a statement of
their views and plans. The main object of
their tour was the collection of a fund for
tho families of Boers who died In behalf of
their country. Ho added that a circular
would be drafted clearly stating the Boer
case to the British public
. IMMIGRANT FINNS.
May Be Picked Ont From Other Im
migrants by Their Cleanliness.
New York Tribune.
"Did you ever notice tho Finns among
the immigrants who land here?" asked one
of the Government officials at the Barge
Office at tho Battery the other day of a
ship news reporter.
"T have never been able to pick them out
from the others," said the newspaper man.
"Well," said the official, pointing to a
family of father and mother, with three
children, straggling up the street under
tremendous bundles of baggage balanced
on their heads, "those are Finns. The
mother and two daughters, as you sec,
wear shawls for hats, and the men rough
cloth caps; but what distinguishes them
most from the Immigrants from Southern
Europe is their cleanliness."
"They are a sturdy-looking folk," eald
the' newspaper man, "and it would be in
teresting to get them to talk of their
home, if they could only speak English."
"I met a Finn not long ago," Interposed
the immigrant officer, "who could speak
fairly good English, and he spoke very
intelligently. He told me that he was
from Viborg, which is Just over the bor
der line between Russia proper and Fin
land. He said that Viborg was about an
hour's ride on a steam train from St. Pe
tersburg, and that because 'of the much
cheaper living in Finland many of the
business men of St Petersburg made Vi
borg their home, and traveled, back and
forth every day. The railroads belong to
the government, and fares aro low.
"When I asked him the reason why liv
ing in Finland was lower than in Russia,
he said it was because Finland enjoyed
practically free trade. Cigars, he said,
were one-fourth the price in Finland that
they were In Russia. Foodstuffs were
somewhat lower, too, he added, for the
reason that Finland, despite the fact that
It is one-sixth water and the rest rock,
produces through the energy of its people
an abundance of agricultural products.
"The people, he' said, all went to school,
and he did not know a single person in his
town of Helslngfora the caDltal of Fin
land, and a town of about 0,000 lhhabl-
iuiiu, who was wnac we woum call illit
erate. "When I asked him why he left such a
quiet and secluded country for the turmoil
of American life, he said with consider
able feeling:
" 'You are free; we are not.' But he
would not discuss the relations of the rul
ing power toward his native land, further
than to say:
" 'The Russian flag floats over our forts.
Our young men must Join her armies. We
are a peaceful folk, and love the arts of
peace, and many of us believe that perhaps
America will be more a home "for us than
the country' of our forefathers.'
POISON IN MEDICINES.
London Alarmed by Sale of Danger
ons Cares.
Pall Mall Gazette.
It Is generally supposed that each sale
of such drugs as morphia or strychnia is
registered Ay the chemist In a book kept
for (that purpose, tho buyer's signature
and ' address are taken, and so forth.
These formalities are no doubt observed
If a scheduled poison be asked for under
Its proper name. Caveat emptor Is a good
maxim; here tho seller must also beware.
As a rule he takes some pains to ascer
tain the bona fides of his customer. But
there are many nostrums containing pois
on, so-called patent medicines, which are
easily obtainable; Blank's syrup, essence,
or sedative mixture relies entirely upon
its poisonous constituents to produce the
desired effect, and it can be purchased
without question at any drug store. Al
though the chemist may refuse to sell a
grain of morphia without a prescription,
he will readily hand over a bottle of
somebody's patent pain destroyer, know
ing full well that this contains a large
quantity of that same drug. Can there
be a better example of straining at a
gnat and swallowing a cameL
A case In point occurred not long since.
In this instance an American compound
much in use was purchased, and an over
dose taken with fatal effect It was
proved at the Inquest that each fluid
dram of this mixture contained: Chloral
hydrate, 15 grains; bromide of potassium,
15 grains; extract of cannabis indlca, 1-8
grain, and extract of hyoscyamus, 1-8
grain. Four hundred and eighty grains
of chloral In that four-ounce bottle; suffi
cient to kill half a dozen men. This was
a secret remedy, sealed with a govern
ment patent medicine stamp. The chem
ist did not know" until afterward that it
was anything but a harmless mixture.
In a trade price list recently issued by
a wholesale Arm of druggists' sundries
men there are no less than 221 patents
containing poisons mentioned In the pois
on schedule of the pharmacy act It is
safe to say that all of these preparations
may be bought for the asking any day In
London. The law for regulating tho sale
of poisons Is clear enough; the poisons
mentioned in part l;of the scheduled list
must not be sold unless the purchaser is
known to the seller. A full entry of the
transaction must be entered in a special
book, and the article properly labeled.
The poisons In part 2 of the lists need
only be labeled. These regulations are
not complied with In the selling of poison
ous proprietary medicines.
The revenue derived from the sale of
patent medicine stamps exceeds $250,000
per annum. A threepenny stamp must
be affixed to an article of the value' of 1
shilling a 2-ehllllng stamp for a 10-shlIllng
value, and so on upward. On each one is
printed, "This stamp Implies no .govern
ment guarantee." Some people read this
warning and understand It, but the ma
jority do not; they have a mistaken Idea
as to the Importance of this little pink
inland revenue label, and actually believe
.that the government is in some way re
sponsible for the medicine. .If results aro
unsatisfactory, it is likely that they are
indignant with the powers that be for so
misleading them.
Cures come in ever-Increasing numbers
from France, America and Germany, and
the English retail druggist is unacquaint
ed with their composition. At best he has
but a vague idea; he cannot therefore in
struct bis customers as to their use, and
when the nostrum is ordered as a pre
scription such interference would be re
sented by both doctor and, patient
Medical men are in some measure re
sponsible for the popularity of these nos
trums. Instead of .writing a prescription
containing half a dozen ingredients to be
dispensed secundum artexn, they frequent
ly prescribe one of these compound pro
prietary medicines. In tho first place, the
word "patent" is a misnomer; no visit is
paid to the patent office, no specification
or anything of the kind is submitted. Any
ignorant person with a fad or an idea
of making money is at liberty to exploit
his own secret remedy, harmless or oth
erwise. He may fill pjlll boxes with dried
peas, wrap these up neatly, affix a pat
ent medicine stamp, and advertise them,
say, as a cure for corns, one to be swal
lowed three times a day. The demand for
these pills would be proportionate to the
money spent in Judiciously advertising
them.
To remedy this state of things It has
been suggested that the formulas of all
secret remedies should be sent to a gov
ernment expert for examination and re
port, while those compounds containing
poisonous drugs must be put up in col
ored bottles of a distinctive shape, and
the nature of their active ingredients
plainly indicated in red letters on a label
marked "poison."
MASON-DIXON STONES.
Some of the Missing; Boundary Mon
uments Discovered In a Church.
Philadelphia Times.
A number of the missing boundary
Btones of the Mason and Dixon Jino which
have been lost for a number of years have
been located near Elkton, Md., and rop-'
resentatives of the United States Coast
Survey have taken legal steps to recover
some of the missing and historic stones.
Three of the stones are In a church and
one in tho cellar of an old store. Tho one
in the latter place was put thero more
than 30 years ago.
The Mason and Dixon line runs from
the Delaware boundary line of Maryland
to the corner .where Maryland, West Vir
ginia and Pennsylvania Join. It is about
200 miles in length, and was run between
the years of 1752 and 176S by the two Eng
lish engineers. Mason and Dixon. When
the line was originally laid stone monu
ments" were placed at 'intervals of Ave
miles as 'far as the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Beyond this the line was marked simply
by heaps of stones.
The General Assembly of Maryland of
1900 passed a law authorizing the resurvey
of tho line. The act provided for the co
operation of the State of Pennsylvania,
which will share half of tho expense of tho
relocation of such of the old monuments
as may be found, and the placing of new
monumejnts where none at present exist
"Where the old monuments cannot be
found the United States jCoast and Geo
detic Survey, which is co-operating with
the two states In the running of the line,
has advised, the placing of iron posts. The
survey along the northern border of Cecil
County, Maryland, was completed tho
past month and the stones reset.

SHIPPING MEN" PROTEST.
Object to Having; Government Trans
ports In Coal-Carryinc Trade.
NEW YORK. Aug:. 16. Local shlnn'mr
Interests who are complaining of the
competition of the Government In the
coastwiso coal-carrying trade will bring
tho matter to the attention of the New
York Maritime Exchange, and it is quite
likely that the association will make a
formal protest against the Government's
practice of using former war transports.
Instead of patronizing private enterprise
in carrying coal to various naval stations
along the coast says the Journal of
Commerce.
President C. B. Parsons, of the Mari
time Exchange, said the matter will be
taken up if presented to the exchange In
proper form, and added:
"I have talked with parties directly
affected by the Government's practice,
and the situation, as I understand it is
this: The steamships now being used as
colliers were purchased for use as trans
ports during the war with Spain. They
aro foreign-built boats, and are. not in
the strictest sense under th6 American
flag. If sold they must revert to their
former flag. They were purchased. In an
emercency. hut that emergency has
passed. Our laws prevent 'private Inter
ests from employing fbrelgn-bullt vessels
In tho coastwise trade, and while the
Government of course. Is licensed to do
things which individuals cannot' it does
not appear to me to be good, sound pol
icy fpr It to engage in enterprises such
as this In direct competition with and
to the detriment of private business con
cerns. If the coal was being shipped, say
to the Philippines, the case would be
different" ...
Mr. Parsons attention was called to
the argument advanced by some that
this coal-carrying- business of the Govern
ment is not really coastwise trade In the
ordinary sense; In .other words, the Gov
ernment colUers are not engaged In
coastwise traffic generally, but aro sim
ply carrying Government supplies for
naval stations. In reply to this argu
ment Mr. Parsons said that it was
"trade"; that If the Government vessels
did not carry the coal It would mean
Just so much "trade" to private shipping
Interests.

polar exploring expedition, sent a cable
gram of Instructions today to Mr. Baldwin
to acquaint him with the directions given
to William S. Qhamp, in chargo of the

be termed an auxiliary expedition. The
fact that a letter of credit was cabled
showed that Mr. Zeigler has not lost con

The British ships Euphrosyne and
Brambletyo are unable to pass up be

on account of the shallow condition of
the channel at that place. The Euphro
syne has been their several days. The
city dredge Is working to clear out the
channel, and the ship will probably get

mum depth of water at tho mouth of the
river is 20 feet and tho Euphrosyne
draws 22& feet The river is about six
feet above low-water mark, and as pilots
count on a three-foot tide, the channel
at that place has a low-wa,ter depth now
of about 17 feet
There Is a general opinion among ship

have been sent to the mouth of the Will

the channel In front of Oceanic dock.
The dredge will, however, have the chan
nel open In a few days. """

AMATEUR TAXIDERMY.
Sportsmen Should Be Able to Mount
Specimens.
New York Sun.
The sportsman who joins some knowl
edge of taxidermy to his gun and rod ex
pcrtness has a valuable arrow in his
quiver. It is worth a great deal to
man to be able to mount artistically
the- prize specimens which he takes him
Belf. and even a passing acquaintance
with taxidermy will teach him a great
deal about nature which would be by
him otherwise unlearned.
It is a difficult art to master, but its
rudiments are easily acquired, and the
rudiments will enable a man to do work
which is pleasing to himself and friends.
The person able to preserve and mount
with wings and beaks outspread a half
dozen humming birds on a single flower
stem is a taxidermist, but there is
great difference between mounting hum
ming birds " and mounting mallards or
bass.
Any one of IntelUgence and applica
tion can learn enough In a week to
make a passable attempt at putting up
such large objects as ducks or flsh, which
will add greatly to" the looks of dining'
room or library, besides having strange
ly pleasant associations.
If a man has . a canvasback above his
sideboard he cannot look at It years
after without being carried back to the
lake and early morning of long ago
when the gray clouds hung low and the
wind clicked in the rushes. It Is not hard
to see a bass and the fights that landed
them, the surge and dash through the
water, the strain on the rod and wrist,
tho useless plentiful advice of the guide
and the thrill which came when the great
warrior lay gasping on the boat's bot-
tctn.

Many anglers have learned to make
passable rods as a means of spending
the early houra of "Winter nighte. The
bamboo strips or lanccwcfl, or green
heart sections may be had in the rough
frcm the factories, and putting them
together, -wrapping them, shellacking
them and giving them the proper -weight
and balance afford a good -way of kill
ing time, but tho making of roda is a
limited amusement compared with tax
idermy, though there are many private
ly mado rods in use in America -whose
owners value them as high as $100, and
they are worth the money. If a man
caTo to tako the wires with him to be
used in making the frames for his speci
mens ho may pass many rainy hour3 In
camp or at the hotel putting up his speci
mens. The most difficult thine about tax
idermy is not the mounting, as Inexpe
rienced folks believe, but tho skinning.
Once the skin, bearing scales or feath
ers, has been properly removed, the soft
parts taken from the head, the bones
from the legs and the whole carefully
cured, putting it Into shape of the living
animal and Inserting the eyes Is com
paratively easy. With the wire a rough
model Is made, the skin stretched over
It and filling inserted to bring the skin
Into proper roundness. This has refer
ence only to plain taxidermy. Of course,
there Js more art In so shaping the speci
men that it will seem to be alive, and
that will come with time.
Almost any city taxidermist will give
the few needed lessons at slight cost If
he Is satisfied that he is not starting a
business rival, and money spent In this
way will be repaid a thousandfold. In
some parts of the country use is now
made of an embalming and petrifying
fluid, which is Injected Into the body of
the specimen day after day for a month
and finally makes tho flesh as hard as a
rock and almost as heavy. Specimens
prepared In this way have, of course, a
fine appearance, and are durable. The
process Is costly and tedious, however,
and not attempted by amateurs.
