<THE TRANSCRIPT.
FRIDAY........ Dec. 29, 1899:
“A PREDICTION CAME. TRUE.
Englishman Who. Knew'.More Than the
British War Office,
Norman M. MacLeod, whose name is
well known in connestion with South
African affairs, publishes a letter received by him three or four years ago
from an Englishman living in Natal,
which seems to prove that the Boers
meditated war even at that distant period, and contains some remarkable
predictions as to the sort of campaign
which would be necessary to subdue
them. The writer says :
“The Boers are playing a big game.
_ Of course we know, being in the country. They have armed every man from
14 years old to 60 with Martinis, and 50
rounds, with orders to sleep on our cartridges. They gave my brother and
” myself the same instructions. If there
is war, it will require about four columne of troops of not less than 20,000
in each column, as all-the Free State
Natal and old colony Boers are going to
join them for certain fact, and lots of
young British also,who have everything
in the country, and are a bit afraid that
the imperial government will only half
do it with small lots of troops, and have
more reverses. They must remember
the Boers can move about quick witheut commissariat, living on beef and
water, and they will make a raid in one
column at a time, so each colamn
should be strong enough to stand
any aetermined rush they may make
In Pretoria they have 100 or more
large guns, and from 150 to 200 men
who are well trained. to the cannon;
and they have lately, I hear, got out
German officers. The Boer game is to
get Natal and the old colony back, and
make one big Dutch republic, they say
with old Paul Krueger as the first President. British residents about the
borders, such as Newcastle, Duudee,
etc., are very uneasy how matters will
turn out; but believe me, if it comes to
a war, England will have to fight desperately to hold any possession in
South Africa. There are such a lot of
Germans with the Boers. I believe
they will be able, with Natal, old colony
and Transvaal, to put up about 75,000
really good all-round men, their average being equal to our best velunteers
for shooting and riding, besides being
up to the country, and I must say I
‘think it will take two or three to one
of our ordinary men to beat them.
Our columns should be very strong in
artillery, and keeps scouts out at least
five or six miles, so as not to be caught
‘io duugas, kopjes, ur drifts, as the
Boers always shoot artillery animals
in bad places to causea block. Ithink
it will require eighty to one hundred
thousand regulars to do the thing really
properly.”

Puallman, Ill., Is Made Commonplace
by a Decree of the Supreme
Court.
Pullman, Ill., used to be a model town
to look at. It is no longer good to look
at; people who live there say that it’s
a better town to live in, hut there’s less
fame in that.
No more will traveling Englishmen
exclaim at its wonders, or °*French
monographists write learnedly of it
without seeing it.
The change of Pullman into an ordinary humdrum suburb is due partly te
the extension of Chicago’s city limits,
but mainly to a decision of the Illinois
supreme court that the Puilman company was formed for building cars and
not for landscape gardening, municipal
government and the sale of cabbages
and baking powder at retail.
The company has five yearsin which
to sell such of its effects as do not concern the making of cars. Two of the
three parks are destroyed and _ the
tracks of the [linois Central railroad
run across the famous athletic field.
once one of the finest in the country.
The stone wall and gate that once
fenced in the town are removed. Allits
streets area part of the Chicagosysten
. now. The Pullman Gas company = ha:
been sold to the Chicigo gas trust, the
+ city has taken over tia water pipes and
* the steam-heating may go out of business.
The residents are ‘getting gas, ‘water
and groceries cheaper—for Chicago
marketmen ean now sell at their doors
—but they are a little nervous about the
prospects about getting along without
steam beat. .
A new company will probably be
formed to take the residences and unused land under'a charter that will permit these functions. But the old Pullman company, is going to build ears
and nothing else, The model village is
a model no more.
As a superintendent says:
“The company has no more consideration. for its, employes. than the employes. have for the companv. It was
their complaint that brought about the
pete. ety attack upon Mr. Pullman
and eniled in the décree of the supreme
court.
“They got what they demanded from
the state, and why should they expect
the company to continye the violation
of its charter by maintaining parks for
them? The company needs the land
and will put it to use.”
So Pullman as a model town dies with
its founder.—-N. Y. World.

Early Labors.

that Daniel A. Clark of Pawtucket, RB.

morning’s stage for Rough and Ready.
who had arrived the night before from
San Jose where they had attended the
Pioneers’ re-union and férmed the acquaintance of Hon. Niles Searls, disclosed the fact that they hed mined
in this county in 1850-51, and: that the
object of their visit was to take another
look at the old stamping grounds.
They had knocked around town all
day without finding anybody that they
remembered or a _ who could recall them.
Mr. Hahn was one of the pioneer
gold-hunters” of Coyotevillé just beyond the present Catholic cemetery on
West Broad street. Mr. ‘Olark had a
claim on Whiteside’s Ravine near
Rough and Ready. > ~
“It makes.a man feel old to see 5 the
changes that have taken place since we
made our pile and left here in the early
fifties,” said Mr. Hahn last night. “The
whole face of the country has changed, .
to say nothing at all about the people, .
Then everything was hustle . and
bustle and everybody was: striving to
get rich as soon as possible so ae to return to the States. We expected the
country would be worked out ina year
or two more so there would be nothing
bat a howling waste: left. Back we
come after nearly half a century’s absence to find a modern and beautiful
city of five or six thousand people who
are enjoying all the luxuries of civilization, and your great quartz mines
make our early day operations in gravel
pale into insignificance,”
“And the best of it is,” added Mr.’
Mr. Clark, “that the development of
your quartz deposits seems to. be but
in its infancy. It looks to us today
that the man who comes back here fifty
years hence will find as much change
for the better as we have found in our
ease.”

should take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, for

into the bargain. Everybody knows
that the ladies of Laurel Parlor are
hostesses of the first quality, and that
for years their annual parties have
been the most delightful social events
of the entire year. They are so attentive to their guests, so careful of the
comfort of all,so0 tasty in the decoration of the hall—in fine, 80 charming in
every way that is a geniune pleasure to
partake of their hospitality.
