Admiral Dewey's statement ha had great effect to accomplish this re vulsion of sentiment. "Among the telegrams received was one from Emerson McMillan, of New York, to the effect that If any person desired the return ofj hUi subscription to the home fund, if the admiral would forward the list of contributors to him, together with any letters or dispatches requesting refunding of the money, he, Mr. MoMillan, would Immediately reim burse all applicants In full. .

LOSSES AT WILLOW ORANGE Are Reported &9 Being Heavy A Repetition of General White's Defeat Is Fearrd. LONDON, Nov. 25. (Saturday, 6 a. m.) Thus far the special dispatches describing the , battle of , Belmont bear a stereotyped character proving that the hands of the censor have been at work upon them. They are too inco herent to enable the reader to form an accurate idea of the event, or to place the iproper estimate upon the value of the ! victory. . All accounts agree re specting the splendid fighting qualities exhibited on -both, sides. All . adrrt, however, that the victory could' not toe properly followed tip and utilized, ow ing to the want of sufficient cavalry. As all evidence tends to show that the evemy's' retirement was orderly, he will doubtless be heard of eteewhere. Throngs of people were "waiting at the war office last evening until a late hour for the lists of those " killed, wounded or missing in the battle of Belmont, but nothing was published In addition to General Methuen'is first dis patch. v , - General Buller's destination Is kept a strict secret at Cape Town. A dispatch to the Times from the Mool river, jgives the British casualties in the Willow Grange affair aa three killed and 44 wounded. This Is the first news of such a heavy loss, and, it correct, suggests a. repetition of Gen eral TWhlte'jB unfortunate action of October -30th. AT WILLOW GRANGE. Durban. Natal. Nov. 24. An official message from General White at Lady smith, dated Noyemiber 22d, says: "The situation Is unchanged. The troops are well and cheerful." The Natal Advertiser confirms the report of fighting near Willow Grange. It. says: ' 'Five thousand; British left 'Estcourt Wednesday t afternoon, for a reconnais ance. They surprised the Boers at 3 o'clock Thursday" morning, and oc cupied the. Boer position, bayoneting eighty of the enemy, "At day break theBoers opened with a quick Are. The British artillery was unable to reach the Boers and the Brit ish . position, therefore, became unten able and was evacuated. Subsequent ly the artillery was-brought into ac tion and the Boers fell back. Their object having been attained, the Brit ish returned to Estcourt." RHODES HAS A BALLOON. London, Nov. 24. The Cape Town correspondent of the Dally Telegraph says: . "I am told that Cecil Rhodes keeps a big balloon ready, .at Kimberly, in which to escape If driven to that ex tremity." , The Dally Mall publishes the follow ing dlFpatch from Belmont: "The British victory Is complete. My estimate of the Boer loss Is 500 killed and 130 wounded. Mr. Knight, corres pondent of the London Morning Post, iwas wounded." CHURCHILL IN PRISON.' Pretoria, Nov. 24. Through the courtesy of the Transvaal authorities the correspondent ' of the Associated Press here wa4 enabled to "slisIC Winston Churchill today, at the Model school, where he is confined with the captured officers. Beyond a slight bullet wound In the right .hand, he seemed well. In an interview Lieutenant Churchill said: "The Boers have treated us with much kindness. This was the case from the outset." "I fear," said Churchill, that the struggle will be bloody and protracted.. DECENT TREATMENT DEMANDED Washington Nov. 24. United States Consul Macrum. at Pretoria, has been Instructed, by cable. to Impress upon President Kxueger that. In the view of this government, the usage of all civil ized : nations sanctions the ministra tion of a neutral representative In the Interest of citizens and captives of one of the parties of the war, and he must further insist upon performing the sacred duty imposed by all conditions of .humanity. This ts practically an announcement of the Insistence of our government upon the execution of Its trust when 'It assumed to look after the Interests of the British citizens in the South African republic FROM PARIS.

War Secretary Advises the Construc tion of the Line. New York, Nov. 24. A special to the Herald from Washington, says: Pres ident McKinley has received a synop sis Of Secretary Root's annual report, which he la now considering In con-. nection with his message to congress. Dealing as it does with all the events of the last year in connection with the Philippines, Cuba and Puerto Rico, and in the discussions and recommen dations for the future povernment of ' the.se new possessions it will form the basis for the most important chapter of the president's message. These are j some 'of the most" essential features of , the . secretary's observations and re commerfJaUoDs: ( The immediate appointment of civil governors for Cuba and , Puerto Rico. , The substitution of clvit government either toy commission or a civil gover nor for the Philippines following the suppression of the present insurrection.

A woman cable between the United' States and the- Philippines. No general reorganisation of the army will be recommended by the sec retary at the present . time. He will leave this subject open for further consideration until after the war in the Philippines has been brought to a' close. It will le pointed out, however, that the retention of the bulk of the present army will be necessary for some months to come. CLIMATE IS NOT A TRYING. ONE. Meteorological Conditions In South Af rica Do Not Inspire Dread. Observations of the weather have beeft, systematically made Cor many years in South Africa, and In tbe-Caiper Colony the meteorological conditions have been as carefully and completely studied as In England, says the Lon- ;don Standard. In other parts, how- I ever, the observations are far less sat isfactory, and in the Transvaal ob . servations may be said to scarcely ex fist, our knowledge of the weather changes being extremely meager. Some few years ago the "report of the meteorological commission" at the Cape of Good Hope embodied detailed rainfall maps for the rain in different parts of South Africa. The average results for the year show that, with the exception of a small' area in the immediate vicinity of Cape Town, the total rainfall for the year Is almost wholly below 20 inches that Is consid erably less than in London. In most places the average for the year Is less than 10 Inches, and at some stations It falls as low as five Inches for the whole -12 months. In the Orange Free State the aver age rainfall for the year Is about 20 inches. The winter rains are very email, me aggregate ior xne monin being only a few tenths of an inch on the average. With the commencement of the southern summer the rains In crease, although It is not until Novem ber and December that the average fall for the month exceeds an Inch, and even in those months the rainfall In many .places is only 0.3 Inch or 0.4 Inch. In January, February and March the average In the Orange Free State is four or five Inches in each month. The meager returns for the Transvaal show that In 1890 thAraln fall eight miles east of Johannesburg (was practically nil In July, August and September, while In October the rain fall was 5.77 Inches, which was the wettest month of tiie year, and rain fell on 11 days. In tooth November and December the rainfall In the vicinity of Johannesburg exceeded five Inches, and the total number of day with rain during the year was CI. In the Orange Free State the results for 1890 show that there wns practleally no rain In September, but In October the rains Were fairly heavy, and the Basuteland September Is also exceedingly dry.

Gaze on the Dead Vice President's Face, THE HGBART HOME CROWDEQ Funeral of the Deceased Statesman to Be Held Today been es of Excitement. NEW YORK, Nov. 24: The funeral of the late Garrett A. Hobart, vice president of the United States, .will take place tomorraw at Paterson. N. J., the services being first held at Car roll Hall, the. Hobart home, and after that at the Church of the Redeemer. The services at the bouse are intended for the family, the president and his cabinet, the members of the senate and the house of representatives and intimate personal friends of the fam ily. : . At Carroll Hall this afternoon the remains of Vlce-Presf Jent Hobart lay In state, and the public had an op portunity to view them. Fully $000 persons were in the streets. Lines were formed by. a squad of po.Ice, but the force ...-.was . entirely too "small 'to maintain any semblance of order. Women were largely .in .the majority. As the throngs filed into the hall, ex citement began to appear. . Women fainted on the porch, and at one time a half . dozen lay insensible on the lawn, but were revived. At the coffin about 20 years old, after gazing at the face of the "dead president, stood . as though transfixed, then she screamed and fell Into the arms of a policeman. She was placed on a chair and revived. It was estimated that fully 12.000 per sons saw the- remains. - It was re marked bytthose who had known the vlce-preldent, that the face had lost its pleasant rounUness and was very thin, showing that r he had suffered much! " A FEW SIMPLE REMEDIES. Things which one should have ready at hand In case of need are, first and foremost, essence of cinnamon. When exposed in a sick-room it will kill the bacilli which, are floating a1"0111- A deeoeton of cinnamon is recommended as a drink to be taken freely in locali ties where malaria, or. fevers prevail, for cinnamon has the power to destroy all infectious microbes, says the Phil adelphia Record. v Peppermint is an old friend.' but not on this account to be snubbed. Noth ing Is .better for a bee sting than the application of a drop of peppermint. In case one Is near, the premises or apartment whtre there Is diphtheria, the simplest yet most eCfectual mode of fumigating is to drop a little sul- phur on a hot stove or on a few hot coals carried through the rooms. In this way the spread of the disease may be stopped. A disinfectant - to use In different parts of the house, which will sweeten the whole place may be made for 10 cents or less. Take one pound of common copperas and eight ounces of crude arbollc acid and dissolve in one gallon of water. 'Ufce frequently. - A little carbolic acid added to the water In which burns, bruises and cuts J are 1 washed .greatly lessens the sore- iibbh. . After applying iodine to the skin If it smarts too intensely to be borne - it is well to know that it can toe washed off with ammonia. That there Is a royal remedy for seasickness one Is Inclined to doubt, but shutting the eyes at once when lying down in the cabin Is a hint to the wise. Never look In the opposite way to that which the boat Is going Is an excellent plan. Nibbling a dry biscuit or an apple from time to time is recommended. French prunes, fig and lettuce are good articles of diet, and there Is wonderful vjrtue In hot water, taken as iot as hot can be, from time to time from the first 'day of the voyage to the last. THEN LIFE MOST HAZARDED. Death Is Most FrequentsWhen Men Are Thirty-Seven. It 4s now generally admitted by med ical experts that 37 is the fatal age. of man. An examination of the rec ords of a registrar of deaths will show that . mors people die at that age than at any other after, attaining their majority. It is, moreover, a no toriously unlucky , age, more misfor tunes overtaking the average man at or about 37 than at any other period of his life. ' Thirty-seven has always been an un lucky age. The greatest trials of some of our greatest men overtook them at 37 or thereabout. Many men distin guished In politics, literature and art died at 37. . . . At the age of 37 a great sorrow be fell Aristotle the death of Plato, his friend' and teacher for nearly 20 years. This sorrow plainly showed Its effects upon his future life and to it may be attributed the sad tone of his Jater writings. ';-., t- : It was at the age of 37 that Lord Byron died of fever , at Greece. Ra phael, the glory of Italian art, died at 27. He' fell sick a week - before his birthday ' of cold and fever and died on that day. Good Friday. -In him the world lost one of Its greatest artists. . England lost her greatest composer at Che age of 37. Puree II, the most dis tinguished musician Britain produced, died within a few days after attaining his 37th year. Pascal, too, died, at 37; but the list could be extended indef initely. Thirty-seven is 7certalnly a. fatal and an unlucky age. r . VALUABLE FOREST LANDS CHEAP It has lust been discovered In Min nesota that mbertnen .are securing some. uj ih tnoft valuable timber lands In the northern part of the state for almost nothing, and are doing It legit imately, -too. During President Cleve land's administration he was much In terested In the matter of preserving the forests, and a number of large for est reservations were made by litm. . mostly In the West. On the lands thus reserved ' there were a good many set tlerskaihd, to compensate them for the loss r of- their lands, they were given forestry scrip. Owners of this scrip could locate on land anywhere In the United States, whether surveyed or not. and It was the first scrip ever Is sued entitling. Its holder to locate-on unsurveyed lands. By the purchase of this scrip, the lumbermen have entered, upon the choicest of the pine lands In) the unsurveyed portions of the state,' paying $2 to $4 per acre for; land thatV is worth many times the larger sum There Is- no way to prevent this, as -the holders of the scrip are allowed to sell it, and the (purchaser acquire the rights of those to whom It was issued. It Is suggested that an appeal be made to congress, but before that body can act : the best part of the . unsurveyed pine lands will have been acquired by the timber men. New York Post. COSTLIEST THIMBLE ON RECORD. Think of it. a thimble which costs $65,000 In American money! jAnd think of a husband who presents his wife with such an anniversary1 present! This Is what the king of Slam did upon the last anniversary of his marriage. The thimble Is of raid, enriched with diamonds and precious stones. It Is shaped like a partially opened lotos flower, each petal bearing the Inter, laced Initials of the sovereign and' bis wife In amethysts, rubles, emeralds or topazes. Around the rim of the thim ble can be read the date of the mar riage according to the Siamese and European, calendars, each number and each letter- being of alternate dia monds and ipearU. The thimble was designed by tha queen herself, and was made by a prominent Parisian Jeweler. WAS AT CAPE NOME. Kugene Guard: Thomas E.
