Mrs. Wedge stood up to change her position, when she lost her balance and fell overboard. Mr. Wedge dived repeatedly after her, but could not find her. He was found later on the bank prostrated with grief and ex- haustion. His Wife’s body was found three hours afterwards.

Lawless, of, the South African Constabulary, says his command has just finished con- structing a fort Which they have called Fort Canada. At Krugers- dorp they built three blockâ€"houses, seven. feet high, and with a fiveâ€"foot radius. Through these block-houses are loopholes. The‘men are conâ€" stantly sniping at the Boers. Just a couple of days before the letter was sent one of the men Was shot from ambush by a Boer. In fact the enemy pretty well surround the station. The work is hard, but we are in perfect health and like the life,” he says. With Lawless are Capts. Bristol and Bennett: Telegraphic Communication Be- tween Stations to be Given Up. A despatch from Scranton, Pa... says: ~â€" Telegraphic communication between stations of the Delaware, Lackawanna &.

Tele- phones, equipped with phonographs, so that an exact record of every Word spoken can be obtained, are beâ€" ing rapidly instituted for the teleâ€" graph keys. This cxperiment has been tried on the Morris and Essex division of the railroad, and is said by General Manager Thomas E. Clark, to have proven more satisfacâ€" tory than even its most sanguine supporters anticipated. All the branches of the Delaware, Lackaâ€" Wanna & Western system are being equipped with the phonographic tele- phones, and Within a few months, according to Mr. Clarke’s estimate, the Main line from New York to Bufâ€" falo will be operated by the new So the fraud, which has been ex- tremely profitable to Bai Premabai and her friends, has come to an ig~ nominious end, and the lady is now under police protection so that her “friends” shall do no injury to her. While the operation was being perâ€" formed, Bai Premabai seems to have endeavored to make a. surreptitious meal of cooked vegetables and nuts. The food, however, was in an ad- vanced stage of decomposition, and in a few moments the whole secret was out. The goddess had food con- cealed in her dress. The committee of doctors and lay- men, headed by Sir Falchandra Krishna, M. 1)., which was formed, with the lady's consent, to investiâ€" gate the matter, placed her in the charge of a European lady doctor and four European nurses. by Whom she was to be Watched night and day. After three days the goddess was found to be very weak and exhaust- ed, but she said it was only a. temâ€" porary indisposition and would soon pass away. On the fourth day she asked that her feet might be sham- pooed. THE NEW OBSERTATORY. Had Fooled Hundreds of People for Two Years or More. A despatch from Bombay says:â€" The career of the Bombay fasting lady, Bai Premabai, who was alleged to have taken no food for two years and a, quarter, and was in conseâ€" quence elevated by the Hindoos to the status of a. goddess, has come to a sudden close.

He declares that their encourage- ment is directly responsible for its continuance, as proved by the' fact that in speaking to those still in the field and telling how ruinous .to themselves was the prolongation of the struggle, the answer invariably was :â€" Passionate Appeal to Dutch Clergy to Cease Inciting Boers. A despatch from Bloemfontein says :â€"â€"The Rev. Mr. Kuhn, officiatâ€" ing Dutch Reformed minister at Thaba. Nchu, publishes a. passionate appeal to the Dutch clergy to cease inciting the Boers to continue the war. Premier Seddon’s sentiment, "New ZezLIand a nation," has thus carried all before it, despite the fact that the colony would eflect a saving of some £5,000,000 in interest payments on its loans if they had a Common- wealth backing. The testimony of the enormous number of Witnesses examined was against federation in the proportion of nearly five to one. New Zealand Declines to Join the Commonwealth. A despatch from Sydney says:â€"â€"The New Zealand Commission, which has been engaged for four months in taking evidence with regard to the advisability of that colony joining the Australian Commonwealth, has reported adversely to the proposal. Dr. Hodgetts is of opinion that unless prompt and efficient measures are taken oy municipalities in re- porting suspicious cases and securing general vaccination the approach of the autumn will see an outbreak more alarming and more disastrous than any seen for some years. The following table showing the ages of the various patients in the Scotlan outbreak is of interest :-- ’ Under one year, 2 cases ; 1 to 10, 40 cases; 10 to 20, 18 cases; 20 to 30, 13 cases ; 30 to 40, 10 cases ; 40 to 50, 7 cases; 50 to 60, 5 cases; 60 to 70, 3 cases. There Were 98 Cases of Smallpox in Brant County. A despatch from Toronto says :â€" Dr. C. A. Hodgetts has returned from investigating the smallpox out- break at Scotland, in Brant Coun- ty. The disease existed in the town- ships of Burford, Oakland and Mid- ham. Dr. Hodgetts visited 34 houses, and found there had been alâ€" together since April no less than 98 cases of smallpox or varioloid (which is smallpox modified by vac- cination). Of the remaining 56 per- sons who were in the infested houses, 45 had been successfully vaccinated, thus forming a striking contrast, the inspector remarks, to the 81 unvacâ€" cinated persons who had suflered from the disease. Dr. Hodgetts comments on the difficulty of properâ€" ly diagnosing smallpox, which in this case, as in many others, was supposed to be chickenpox. In the neighborhood affected, twoâ€"thirds of the people Were unprotected by vac- cination, the result of which, the doctor says, is an object lesson to other municipalities. According to further advices from Lord Kitchener, columns under 001. Featherstone and Col. Dixon have reached Zeerust, Western Transvaal. They met with opposition and made some captures. The British casualâ€" ties were one officer killed and three officers and twentyâ€"four men woundâ€" ed. Lord Kitchener also reports that Scheeper’s commando burned the public buildings in Murraysburg, Cape Colony, and some farm houses in the vicinity. -nr‘w“ .4... The Bloemfontein correspondent of the News describes Gen. Broadwood’s capture of Reitz as a marked suc- cess. His troops made a forced march, and surprised the town at dawn last. Tuesday. Twentyâ€"nine prominent Boers were captured, in- cluding Gens. Clonwe and Wessels; Commandant Dwaal, First Cornet Piet Steyn, who was the brains of the Orange Government; Devilliers, Secretary to the Council, and Fras- er, Private Secretary to President Steyn. The latter narrole escaped capture. He fled Without his coat and boots. It is believed that Com- mandant-General DeWet was in town bu_t got away. “Broadwood’s brigade surprised Reitz, capturing Stein’s brother and others.

It appears that all the medals for the Australian and Canadian con- tingents were sent out together in the Ophir.

He is at present operating around Arnprior, Packen- ham and Calibog‘ie, on the Canada. Atlantic line. These are lumbering districts, but if Work is scarce there men might be secured for Manitoba. who otherwise would not think of going out. Western Ontario always sends a large number of farm hands to the west when they are required there, and with the high wages that are pretty certain to be offered the excursion from that district is reâ€" garded as likely to be a, very large one. The Manitoba Government is at present receiving reports from all points in the wheat growing terri~ tory as to the exact. number of men that will be needed, and that infor~ mation will be issued shortly. Mr. J ames Hartney. Emigration Agent 1... LI._ 1-: o arrangements are not yet completed, it is expected that three excursions will be run from Ontario between August 5th and 7th. The rate go- ing will be $10 from all points in Ontario, with $18 the single return fare. The Canadian Pacific Railway is fully alive to the necessity of ob- taining enough men to harvest. the crop, and this year will run the farm laborers’ excursions a. little earlier in the season than usual. While the It, must be a record crop to require this number of outside harvesters. The largest number ever sent out be- fore was ten thousand, two years 'ago. Last year, owing to the failure of the crops in Manitoba farm hands from Ontario were not needed, and the railways did not run their usual farm laborers’ excursions. Mr. W.- Scott, a representative of the Mani- toba. Government. has been in Toâ€" ronto inquiring into the prospects for securing men from this Province, and stating that 12,000 hands would be needed. Ontario is relied upon to supply the majority of the farm laborers required, but Quebec and the Maritime Provinces will also be drawn upon to as large an extent as possible. It seems to be a, ques- tion, indeed, as to Whether enough men can be secured. 4 This number is approximately What it is thought will have to be sup- plied from outside sources if thl great crop is to be safely harvested, and While oflicial figures have not yet come forward from the Manitoba Government it is likely that the fig‘ ures given will be found practically correct.
