South Africa presents an inviting field for women' who are weary of sin- gle blessedness, for there a great shortage of fair ones in that part of the world. The deficiency of women in Cape Colony in IN08 amounted to 14,925. So far~as can be learned = the excess in numbers of white males over white females in British South "Africa is represented in the following table: Cape Colony. 15.000 Natal 5.000 Orange River 3.000 Transvaal ... .. 43,000 Rhodesia .... 3,000 Women South 18 Colony. SE Total shortage 5f females 69.000 "In a population of whites nunibering about SM000 in all, this deficiency in women seems at(lirst sight almost incredible," says a writ- er, "and it the more remarkable and deplorable, in as mach as heyond a doubt 'the greater part of the de ciency exists among the British tion of the population." It seems that about one man in every four of the British in South Africa could never hope to find a Wife, whéthér Dutch or English, ; before the war.

USELESS RIDE prmomerment hibited It . CONDEMNATION 15 EXPRESSED BY THE ENG- LISH PRESS. THE French Lieutenant Tells How He Won--His Horse Did Not Die--The Race is Not Likely to be Reported. London, Aug. 29.-<The military ride from Brussels to Ostend, in which three horses were ridden to. death, and several others, until they fell from exhaustion, has evoked strong con- demnation from the English press. The cruelty practised upon the ani- mals was not, it is declared, balanced by any benefit that was or could pos- «ibly be attained. A similar view is expressed ine Brussels. : The French lieutenant, Madamet, who covered the distance, attributes. his success to careful training of his animal for the special purposes of the race. Dming the ride, he occasionally dismounted and walked for 'about" a bundred vards, washed the horse from time to time, but gave him no food or drink. The horse did not die at the conclusion of the race. The ani- mal is quite well and the lieutenant intends to ride it,in Saturday's cross country 'run. Lieut. Madamet says he does not think the viders in the race were cruel to their hor He express. es the opinion, however, that, al- though the &xperiment was an ipter- esting an d n> essary one, the race wil probably not be pepeated. Tt is noteworthy that Emperor William for bade any officer of the German army taking part in the competition. It is stated that he regarded it as a use- less. experiment. "MANUFACTURERS MEET. Talk About a British North-Am- erican Exposition. Aug. 29.--The first meeting of the new executive of "the Manufac- turers' Association was held, yester- day. President Cyrus A. Birge, of Hamilton, delivered "his 'first address, thanking the members for the honor done him in appointing him president of the association. The fast line of steamers was incicentally discussed and it was decided to forward a spe- cial circular to all the members of the association on the subject. The more important resolutions adopted at the annual meeting of the association, in Halifax, were dealt with, and it was decided that where they affected feder- al legislation they should be forwarded to Ottawa at onee--and taken up on the opening of parliament. A special deputation of the Manufacturers sociation will go to Ottawa to bring the resolutions prominently before. the government.

Winnipeg, Aug. 29.--Private advices were re eived here by an official to ef- fect that the Dominion government will interfere in the case of the Douk- hobors, who are suffering from a re- ligious mania.

" _ineux Case SON'S PAST LIFE HAS BEEN MADE A SUBJECT OF ENQUIRY. Has Gen. Molineux Has Been Looking Into the Matter and Has Made a Discovery--Likely to Establish Alibi. "New York, August 29.--Roland B. Hotineur, if the predictions of his fa- ther, General Edward I. Molineux, and his equnsel, Weeks & Battle, are veri- fied, will be acquitted at his coming trial and libarated upon evidence which was obtained through the patient work of General Molineux. While the evidence has been known to the counsel of Molineux for a long time, it has been carefully guarded, and it will not be: used at his trial unless he is called uponsto put in a defence. The evidence, it is said, relates to the establishment oi an alibi ior Moli- eux; and will show that he could not possibly have.mailed the package con- tathing poisoned bromo-seltzer ad- dressed to Harry Cornish on Decem- Fer 23rd, 1898. The time when the package: was mailed appears on the en- velope stamped in the general post-of- fice in 'this city, and it is said that it can be shown without doubt that he was far away from the post-office for? a long time before and after the hour 'fixed by the envelope. This 'evidence was not available at the first trial, even if Molineux had put in a defence, and is not the only proof which will tend to show his in- nocence, which has been put into shape by his counsel. "There is evidence,"" said General Molineux, "which I believe will show that my son is innocent, but it would be impolitic to even suggest what it is at the present time. "It would not: diminish its weight were it known to the workd, but law- vers have a method which involves se- crecy in making a defence that must be respected. 1 feel that it is certain that Roland' will be acynitted, and this with the knowledge that he is in- nocent has buoyed up the hopes of my family and made us look forward to the reunion that is to come with joy- ous antieipation, Barlow S. Weeks has returned from Europe, and after a consultation with James Gordon Battle, said that Moli- neux's prospects of being set free were brichter than ever. "The evidence which has Leen obh- tained" said Mr. Weeks, "is not based on technicalities, but is a genuine de- fence of fact. General Molineux, who has been working avithout ceasing to establish "the innocence of his son, must be given credit for getting the evidence into shape, and when it is made public will certainly create a sensation." Weakness In Money Market. London, Aug. 29.--There has been some weakness shown in the London money market by the fall in consols since the close of the war in South Africa, and- this decline has been more noticeable during the last few days is probably due to a general ex tion that Transvaal and French loans will prevent anything like ease in the money market for a long per iod. The continued uncertainty respecting poli- Hea) affairs in South Africa is anoth- + factor in the problem. There are no ne of recovery in the mining mar- ket and there is despondency among South African operators. Girls Will Carry Messages.

Followed the Fortunes of a Cir- cus Rider Vienna, Aug. 20.--A great sensation was caused some time ago in Munich society by the disajgearance of the vounz and beautiful Baroness Bald- win a few hours after she had been married to the Count Stettinhausen. It was the circus-rider Zigora who had abducted her to Austria. Shortly afterwards, the brutal and proflizate circus-rider | deserted her, leaving her entirely destitute, and to support herself and her child ' she had to work as a common day laborer. Not being used to hard work, how- e.er, she 'soon fell sick, and was un- able to pay for the board of her child, which was brought to her in the hos- pital, where she lay sick. Not knowing what to do, she left hospital in her desperate condition, and soon after the child was found dead in the brushwood near Budapest. A few days ago a hopelessly ill wo- man naméd Amanda Weber was admit- ted into the St. Rochus hospital, of Budapest, where she died. A few hours before her death ° she revealed her true name--Countess Maria Stettin- hausen. -- DROWNED IN LAKE. Deliberate Suicide of James Brown, of Oswego. Oswego, N.Y., Aug.
