London, Merch 27.--Lord Kitchen er's account of the fairly successiul drive in Delarey's coungry and the re- several of Gen. Methuen's guns is regarded as proof that the | Boers will be harried and hunted une til they propose terms of peace. The Dutch rumors that lord Wolse- ley has goue to the Cape to take an active part as peace maker are sharp- ly and emphatically contradicted by | those who talked with him on the eve | of his departure. A week ago it was reported that | Gen. Kitchener had had certain colo- nial officers shot for killing unarmed floer prisoners, Jt is now: learned that the facts are as follows: Four officers of wore tried by court-martial on the charge of shooting a number of Boers who had surrendered as prisoners of war. The accused were convicted, and two of them were shot and one sen toneed to twenty-five years' penal wer vitude, The fourth officer acted as king's evidence and was sentenced to deportation. Official despatches on the subject are expected to be published shortly. The Chronicle says it Jearns that the war office suspension of operations in South Africa applies only to the Orange River Colony, and only there during the conference of the Boer lead ors, Reporte from and © The Hague continue to reveal the anxiety ol the Boer delegates to have it un- derstood that peace cannot be made without their knowledge and consent.

Is Death Of Cecil Rhodes At Cape Town. . New York, March fhe Thi- bune's London correspondent says : The death of Cecil Rhodes is general ly recognized as a calamity for the empire. He had succeded in living down the prejudice excited hy the Jameson raid and, despite his secret carnoetion with the earlier stages of that intrigue against the Boer tepub lies, he was not unpopular 'with the Dutch in the colony. He would in evitably have returned to power if ho had lived to witness the fuse of the war and hig influence would have been strongly exerted in race concilia: tien. Mr. Rhodes shared with Sir Wilirid Laurier and Mr. Barton, the distinction of being a great imperial Nt among colonial statesmen. He was badly advised by bis brother, at Johannesburg "hefore the Jameson raid, and was misled by Dr. Jameson himself, who had been mintnated with the story of Clive in India. But the great services rendered by him to the empire have not heen forg ten. A newspaper here reports that when Mr. Kruger was informed of Mr, Rhodes' death he merely said : "The Lord giveth apd the Lord taketh blessed be the name of the 297 GOVERNMENT PLEASED.

New York, March 27. John D. Rockefeller bas been so transformed by a recent affliction, which has rendered him totally bald and robbed him of his moustache, evebrows and eyelashes that his friends barely recognize him. He has become as emaciated as an eastern famine sufierer and as white an the proverbial ghost. His head has become bald and the ren grey mous tache with which his friends have so long been familiar, has disappeared. His eyebrows and eyve-lishes piso have fallen out and his head and face are as smooth as thase of a baby. Smooth and hairless, he is anything in appearance but the Rockefeller that Wall strect and the Standard oil eir cles of millionaires kn Mr. Rockejeller's latest affliction came on him suddenly. "Alopecia™ it is called and medical men differ as to the cause. Some aseribe it to the parasite said to cause baldness, others attribute it directly to the nervous trouble of the stomach from which he has been an acute sufferer for years. Dr. Julian P. Thomas, an expert on food and on skin diseases, says that in kis opinion, Mr. Rockefeller's total baldness is due to his stomach trom ble, "He is being slowly starved to death," said Dr. Thomas. "His sto mach is in such condition that it ean not assimilate food and is consequent being deprived of nourishment necessary to health and vigor." HE WAS MURDERED. Carefully Planned; Alone in It. Brantford, Ont., March 27. Govern ment inspector Murray, who has been here for some days investigating the death of James Quirk, gives it as his positive belief that Quirk was mur- dered. The idea of accidental death, he says, is utterly out of the ques tion. Mr. Murray also believes that but one person committed the crime, which was carefully planned and exe cuted, the greatest precautions being taken to entirely obliterate the traces of the perpetrator of the crime. In regard 'to the crime itself, detec- tive Murray has established 54 new theory. It has been the gemoral opin ion that Quirk met his death at the top of the ladder, as his head ap peared above the opening which leads from the harness room to the hay mow. Murray, however, declares that Quirk never ascended the ladder, but that he met his death as he entered the harness room. According to the detective, Quirk was struck on the head five times with a small hatchet, which the murderer carried off with him. The murderer, according to Murray's view, placed Quirk's body in the position in which it was found The blood marks found on the lad or, the detective says, were caused we Quirk's partner, who went up to the lofs after the body was found. ARRAIGNED IN COURTS, The Wrongful Conversion of Trust Funds. Brockville, Ont., March 27.---Reuben A.

GIRL BEATEN AND POISONED-- CRUEL TREATMENT. Alleged That The Child Was Beat- en Twice a Day Regularly and, When She Died, The Nose Was Crushed And Head Fearfully Bruised. Mount Holly, N.J., March 27.- From her cell in the prison here, where her second child was horn seven months ago, Mrs, Mabel Fentan Haines will be placed on trial for the murder of her daughter, Gwendohn, who, at the time of her death, on March 3lst, 1901, was a trifle less than three years old. 'The trial peo mises to be sensational. It is the theory of the prosecution that Mrs Hanes deliberately Killed Gwendolin through jealousy of Mr. Haines' first wife, who was a school girl friend and afterwards a school teacher Mabel Fenton married Mr. Haines six ks alter the death of the fret Mrs ilaines. After the marriage, second Mrs. Haines Gwendolin well until after hor own first baby was born. After that, the charges say, she maltreated the first little one constantly, It is alleged she beat it, pounded its head aeainst the wall and forced it 10 stand fa corners until the chili fell to the floor from exhaustion, It i further alleged that on ole goeasion, In re dorving to Gwen dolin, the accused woman said : "It's hard to kill her.' It is asserted the the child twice sister WE it is alleged, the treated Jittle accused whipped a day, giving it a beating in the morning and arother in the afternoon. This, it is alleged, she called "Giving the brat her doses," The night the man who lived the child died, the wo in the other half of Haines house heard the child be ing beaten. Early in April the little girl died. The physician who was call ed after she was dead. found the nose crushed in and the head bruised He refused to issue a death certificate aml leit the case to the authorities There were hints al poison as well as violence and the contents of the sto mach were analyzed. The chemist found seven and a balf grains of ar scenic in the body. Public sentiment in regard to the case has somewhat chenged since Mrs. Haines was incarcerated last Mav. At that time Burlington covnty smi the adjoining county of Camden were aflame with anger against the woman But duriny the long months 'which Mrs. Haines has spent in jail, public sentiment has become calmer. The birth of her child in jail interested many women in Mrs. Haines. All the life of Mrs. Haines, who was May Fenton, hak been full of hardship bat she has always ambitious and the stubborn courage which eon quered the conditions of her early vouth hids fair to carry her through her present trial. She was bow into poverty, being one often children of very poor parents.
