London, May 3. deneral Botha Is the hero, "the South African lion," of the conference of colonial pre miers now assembled here. As Doer commander In the Tugela river cam paign, Dotha Inflicted on the British army In South Africa some of its se verest reverses. But his conduct was marked by a humanity and a for bearance which was the wonder of the foreign military attaches at his headquarters. Thus after the battles of Splon Kop Botha could, had he wished, almost wiped out the retreat ing British force, but he stayed his hand. Now that this brave fighter has accepted British sovereignty he does so with Ills whole heart. So ho com pels admiration from all Bides, and disarms the animosity of the news papers owned by the millionaires of the Rand, which are panting to at tack him. General Botha's pretty daughter, whose mother was a Miss Ommet of New York, Is a fascinating girl, and excites general admiration. It is at once a pretty compliment to her nnd to President Roosevelt's daughter that In resemblance of Mrs. Long worth's charming personality , Miss Botha Is called "the charming African Princess Alice." Botha Is the only premier who has brought an Interpreter to the con ference. He could not trust his knowledge of English. He and all the colonial premiers have the nicely delicate task of being friendly to both political parties without identi fying themselves with either. Each party's efforts to claim them as al lies are diverting. The torles ear nestly argue that the conference wj!l bo a fiasco if the members separate without perfecting some plan of preferential tariffs within the em pire. But It Is notorious that the colonies can offer the mother coun try rib compensating advantage for hampering her foreign trade. Tho conference may do something toward securing colonial contributions to the navy, but that is about all. It is an easy transition from Botha to Joseph Chamberlain. His family and friends know tho state ment that ho hopes to resume public work Is entirely illusory. Ho grew a little stronger and In part recov ered his spirits during his stay in the south of Prance, but ho cannot walk without assistance, and he is capable of only the most casual men tal exertion. No physician can cer tify that Mr. Chamberlain will ever be a well man, no physician has ever vouched for the bulletins concerning Mr. Chamberlain's health which have been Issued. Mrs. Chamberlain, who was Miss Endlcott of Massachusetts, is show ing the effects of the prolonged strain she Is undergoing. Never had man a more devoted, self-sacrificing helpmeet. She spares herself noth ing. Clearly her whole life is bound up in his. UIICAM 9 iTHftM'AC Vf ILuvl i v JT B B B J XirJ if sr Contractors and Builders n M.R' The Steal AW Oflice fixuifes a specialtf.

Child of Three Years Gets n Sentence in French Town. Paris, May 3. Georges Tolut, aged three years, living at Neuilly, has been sentenced by default to ton days' Imprisonment for assault and battery. An appeal has been lodged not by himself, as he Is obviously under age, but by his father acting as his legal guardian and tho Infan tile defendant will be called up again before the courts this week. Tho plaintiff Is a full grown man, M. Wlnkel. How could a child of three years have assaulted him? The an swer to the riddle Is that plaintiff alleges that he was assaulted by a man of about his own age, named Tolut, and he took out a summons against Georges Tolut. But Georges Is the baby, aged 3, and the father, whom the plaintiff really intended to prosecute, Is Albert Tolut. Never theless, Baby Georges was sentenced by default, and the conviction stands against him. The courts for tho present know of no case against any other Tolut, and accordingly the 3-year-old Tolut will have to appear In person in the dock at the hearing of the appeal, supported by his father. If the baby were not to come for ward in person tho appeal would fail and the conviction would bo con flrmed. No doubt the court will sol emnly dismiss the charge against the infant, who will be set free, proba bly by that time screaming. LutVyour property with us.
