Died Like Britons London, Out. 21.— A letter froman officer balouuing to the Somaliland expedition received here shows that the British force ie in nn even more precarious position than hai' been indicated in the official despatches. The writer bays: "No one will appreciate thie business until it is too late. Are in a regular trap nnd how to net out. we don't know. Have had still' ti;.liting and have lost many men. Tie worst ie that our blacks are funking (showing fear), and onr camels huvo nearly alt been,killed or captured. We have next to no water and are miles from any water. We bave no supplies and nearly no ammunition. They have aplured two of our niaxttne. I don't suppose they care at home what happens to ub. It is a brutal shame to send ub blind into such ambush ae this is. I bear frc-eh troops are coming up and only hope tbey will come from India." Tbe writer refers incidentally to some brisk tight which he apparently presumes was already kuown ol here and adds: "Thirty-three of ub escaped; by Jove, that wae a pretty affair. We whites stood out—but oh well, we have too many black."

President Roosevelt hai gained nothing by hie first failure to bring about a better understanding between the Pennsylvania eoal mine "operator!" and the minen, but hi bai loit that which will probably cott him bii political iutnre. The tpell hai been broken, and President Rooievelt stands not where he itood. Nobody ever tccueed him ol want ol courage, but he ii evidently wanting in common aenie, which ia of eome use, evtn in politic!. Men who know tlie ini ud outt of the great trouble in Pennsylvania knew perfectly well tbat the Pre tidtnt wu courting failnre, ignomlnioue failure, when he undertook to interfere. Be hat dilcovered that although the Preiident ol the United Slates lias in many retpeeti more power than most potentate!, there ire very decided Uml. tationi to bii authority. Evtn inch t preiident as Rooievelt cannot tnmmon before him the partiea to a mortal ttrnggle and bid them kiss and make iriendi. There wae a delicious touch oi czariim in Roosevelt'! first mandate to the "operator!" and the miners' re- prttentatlves. Probably he thought tbat in the auguat presence tbey would ehake handi at hi! bidding md go away satisfied and happy. More thtn ont Caesar has got hii fingtri bnrnt pitying with lire. Abraham Lincoln, who ihould be perpetual model for til U.S, preiidents would have had Ihrtwdnen enongb to avoid this humiliation. ____________ Coal it now being classified ln the Eait at ont ol the precloue mettle.

Opinions ol that kind are alwayi more likely to convinco„othera when .backed by example!. Preiident Mitchell oi the United Slates of America ii a wedding ol namee that many thouiandi of toilera throughout the great republic would like to lee. Some good judgee of attain feel confident that thil young man, Mitchell hai a glorious inture. United labor could place him in the White"Home despite all the heelen tnd politician! in the land; that le 11 he hae the ont needlnl qualification ol being native-born. Imitation ii the elncertit form of flattery. Everything original and good ii imitated, the imitation almoit invariably being unoriginal and bad, An Eng lishman hai etarted a jonrnal in Kent called "The Protest," in Imitation oi Elbert Hubbard's little paper, "The Philistine."

Mr. Ralph Smith, M.P., in hii evidence belore the Royal Commiuion at Nanalmo said that "coal mint! inipec- ton could not be independent became ol political influence!." Mr. Smith ought to be an authority on that, and very probably he wai thinking when he eaid it, of the cue ol Mr. Archibald Dick who wae succeeded by Mr, Thomas Morgan; ai Mr. Smith, probably knowl better than any man in the country, That extraordinary individual, R.

Four test holes have been sunk in different parte of the cemetety with satis-. laotory results. Very little water ..as found. Only a small portion of the area Ib rough, the rest is first-rate and can easily be cleared and laid out, The toil is mostly coarse sand aud fine gravel. It Is now proposed to clear off the southeast corner of the cemetery site to the extent of one acre for immediate use, and it is expected that thit work will bo done before the wet weather teti in.

LOCAL ROAD IMPROVEMENTS, Extension of First Avenue will Soon bo Finished. By general consent the extension oi First Avenue to join theOhemnfnna road is voted the best bit of work the Govern, ment road pirty have done In the neighbourhood of Ladyemith thia leasoo, Thla new portion of an important highway extendi at preient from the end of Fint Avenue down to tbe ravine, where preparation! are now being made to build the bridge which ii to ipan the ■tnet, Timber for thil pnrpoie ii now being got out by tht party, and ii being dragged down to the ravine in readiness for an early start. The work of building Ihe portion of road leading down to the bridge was no eaiy talk, a good deal of the sleep embankment having to be ihored up with etout timbers. This woik has been done in a creditable manner, Tht descent into the ravine from the Lidyimlth tide ia pretty iteep, and driven, especially at night will have to txeroiie plenty oi caution, When tbe bridgt il completed, which ii expected to be abont tbe beginning of November, thia road will offer one of the pleutntttt route! aronnd Ladyimith for driving, whotling or walking.

TONIGHT'S GLOVE CONTEST Coal! •* Coal! Interesting Sparring Match by Two Famous Experts, This evening (Tueiday) iu Gould's hall the celebrated Deuver Ed. Smith and Tom Orayden will spar six rounds to decide whether Orayden ie correct in his opinion that he can go six rounds with Denver Ed. The latter thinks he can't, and this evening's mill is to settle the point, Everybody has heard of Denver Ed, Smith, the hero of a hundred battles, and still considered one of the cleverest men in the boxing world today, lie hai met all the big ones lor the past 15 or 20 years, and held hia own with must ol them. He ie speedy aud scientific, very tricky as a ring general, and his style Is peculiar. Crayden has been up in Alaska lately and hae won a good many bouts, Ia Nanalmo he is better known as a wrestler and rough-and-tumble, but was al ways known as a clever, likely follow who could take good care of himself, He will certainly put up a pretty eontest to night.

HOW TO GET RICH THROUGH ADVERTISING John Wanaiuakor, tbe mulli-mllllon aire, merchant; prince of Philadelphia gave aa his opinion the other day, on the subject of advertising, and no man in the land can speak on that matter with more authority: "There is only one way.to advertise, and that is to hammer yonr name, your location, your business, so constantly, so persistently, so thoroughly, iuto the people's heads that if they walked in their eleep they.'would.'. constantly turn their heads toward your store. The newspaper is your best friend in spite of yonr criticism. It.helps to build up the community which supports you. Whon tho day comes that the'newepBpers are dead tht people are near the edge of the grave with no ode to write their epitaph." SPORIINQ NOTES. Grouse are reported.'plentlliil In eeveral spots quite-near town. One or- two re- ipectable bags have.been made lately, It seems to be all nil wiih the proposed rifle'club. The trouble ia.llie liiuling of a proper range. Rifle practice over watered not.cunijucivo to good shooting. Whispers of a ping pong°;tournament fill the air. Not a few good players have been developed lately, 'and the tournament, if it take place, ..should .be .a decided success. All who are interested in basketball ought to attend the meeting which will be held in the Pavilion Wednesday night at 8 o'clock, for tho purpose of forming a elnb, and getting down to practice at once, The want of a gymnasium Ib going to be severely felt, hi Ladysmith this winter. The old athletic club supplied this waut very acceptably lust winter, and a good deal of the apparatus is still available. There.ought to bo uo difficulty iu starting a good, itrong organizttion now. A few evenings ago twolyoung fellows in town tried conclusions with the gloves and put up a really scientific contest tbat delighted all beholders, aud proved that Ladysmith hae now several spurting men who would be a valuable addition to the etrength of any club that might be formed, Amonget the Ladyemith minen thero tre many fine checker! (draught!) play- era, and several,;exciting matches have taken place at the local hotels lately, It ie now proposed to form a checkers and cheei club, to enable thoie fond of tbe garnet to practice regularly and hold contMti. Another.party will leave Ladyimith shortly to look ior elk over Cowicliun Lake way, and hope to fetch home some ipecimeni. The parly that found the elk a few dayo ago were true blue sports, for they could have slaughtered every one of the herd easily, .but took only chairman, the fellow with the points. Cycling seems likely to boom again in these ptrtt owing to tbe excellent roads which the Government road party have . undo around Ladyamiih. The route to ffautlmo.il now all right except one •hurt itratch just out of Lidynuiitb, which resembles the bed of a mountain torrent, aud takes ai much Hearing as tbe Laehine Bapidi. Itii unanimously agreed that until better ground! for practice can be secured Ladyimith football teams must labor under a disadvantage with tennis that have good grounda convenient for practice. It only needs one good spill on the bunkergronuds to prove to lhe splllee that a gravel surface is a hard propo- iltion any time, but especially wheu a fellow ii down.

EXTRAORDINARILY SUCCESSFUL Rural Free Postal Delivery Amongst American Farmers, Of all the institutions that promote lhe progress ol tlie United States, there is no other, to my mind, that compares in importance with tho free rural mall delivery. Although it is scarcely five yean since the system wai adopted, It bai ilready revolutionised social, business and economic conditions in territory covering more tban 100,000 square miles. Its popularity is increaiing at a rate exceeding that attending any improvement heretofore attempted tn the postofflce service, and it meant more in the way of personal happiness and public advancement than anything else oi which I know. The importanceoltl.il new branch of the postal service Ib best indicated by Ihe rate at whioh it has grown. We began in 1800 with an appropriation of 140,000. For three years previous to that congress had made each year an appropriation, but with declining revenue! and increasing deficits tbe postofflce department had been loath to take any step tbat might Involve additional burdens. Al tbe matter of establishing rural route! had been left to tbe discretion of tbe postmaster general, the appropriations were niiiisi-d. In 18(10 congress, in mak- ingthe appropriation,embodied a man* datory clause, and with much misgiving Postmaster. General William L. Wilson, in October, 1890, established tbe llrst route, which was out of Charleston, W. Va. On the 1st of July, 1697, only forty- three routes were in operation. Today there are more than 6,000 routes, etrvlng 000,000 larn. houses, in which live more than 4,000,000 people. It requires some experience of Hie in the country, under old conditions, to realize what it means to these people to be suddenly brought from an isolated position into dally touch with the outer world, the news and events of which bad only silled to them at haphaiard. The territory covered by the rural routes is equal to about 120,000 square miles, equaling in area the New England states, New York and New Jersey, Eventually they will-cover 1,000,000 square miles or more. The appropriation lor the maintenance of the service advanced from 140,000 In 1897 to 160.000 in 1808,1100,000 in 1899 $460,000 iu 1900, 11,750,000 in 1001. For the fiscal year ending June, 1902, wt have an appropriation ol $3,600,000. Oi this lum $3,000,000 will be required to main* tain the mole than 0,000 routes, the colt of each being $600. Nearly $600,000 will be used in the expenie of administration. For tbe year 1903 the department has requested an' appropriation oi $11,- 250,000, and there is not the slightest doubt that itwill get it, for member! of congress are agreed tbat no other single item in our annual expeuditure brings anything like a proportionate return to the people,—A. W. Machen, in Sneceti. A glance at tbe programme to bt rendered by Ellery'e Royal Italian Band, which will be in Nanaimo Ior one grand concert, Wednesday evening, .Oot. 22od, Is enough to insure that they will pleaie everyone.

I am very old, and you are very well acquainted with your duty. Practice it." Keen jealousy not infrequently existed amonget the local preachers of Nonconformist views in lhe olden days as the following story gueB to show. A certain "local" was holding forth to a village congregation, among whom was a rival who looked with disdain npiti hia preaching powers. The preacher commenced his address wiih a long and tedious introduction, The rival's patience was sorely tried, and at length he shouted, "Gie us meat; it'a meat we want here, mon." "Thee just wait till A've dun tb' carvin', and tha eluilt bev meat, lad," was tbe prompt rejoinder, . General Fosse, an American officer and supporter ol negro emancipation, once made a very animated address on behalf of tht colored population. A dinner wu given subsequently to the General, when one ol the sable guests, being called upon lor a toast, was desirous ol conveying the idea, by the sentiment he ihould give, that tht General, though ho wait while man, wu nevertheless full ot sympathy for the negroes.
