NEARLY HERE
Is -winter, and those who are wise -will
make their purchases before 'the disa
greeable weather sets in.
This week, .therefore, Blair makes his
announcement of winter offerings under
the most auspicious conditions. For sev
eral weeks past 'he has been perfecting
his arrangements with the view of giv
ing his customers and the public the
opportunity ito supply themselves during
the ideal weather peculiar to our au
tumnal season, amd without vanity feel
gratified alt the result.
Blair's Emporium will certainly be an
attractive rendezvous this week. A
splendid array of the latest styles from
representative manufacturers, all ove
this country will be on sale. It will be
a grand sight, indeed, an artistic display.
never before seen here, and an active pur
chasing of great bargains will unques
tionably result.
"Extra specials of unique designs fill
all departments and the most capricious
amd hypercritical tastes can be satisfied
by Blair.
New departments have been added
and old ones restocked, amd the Big Em
porium is now in a better condition t
eerve you than ait amy time since it

" Certain rumors
ihiarve a' tendency to
appear1 periodically.
Every town has these
recurring- rUmors of approaching wed
dings, deaths, bankruptcies or what not
started toe times by wanton gossip,
some times by the malicious 'tongues
of business or social rivals. The larger
world, too, has these periodical dis
turbances from rumors a French rev
olution about to "break out, Queen Vic
toria or the pope in a fatal decline, tio
czar or the queen about to abdicate -are
among the familiar sujects for pe
riodical rumors. Perhaps the most per
sastenlt rumor of this start in late years
has attached to the emnity of conti
nental Europe for England and what
was to happen to England in '.onse
quence of fit. This rumor has made
its appearance again in connection, with
the Transvaal, and according to n
England is to be "held up" and i re
vented' from "holding up" thef i'o:h
African countries. If she won't rtand
and deliver then she will be disciplined
by certain continental countries of
whom Russia is not ithe least. No
doubt there is some fire where tip.re
is so much smoke, as gossips commonly
say when once they have started a
story, and the "fire" in this case js
thalt Russia, as well as some other con
tinental! countries, woul'd doubtless le
glad to down England if she could.
If Russia ever feels strong enough to
"put England in her place" and pie
vent the extension of her dominion, es
pecially in the east, then Russia will
find some pretext for so doing. 1 The
contest of the future is likely to be
between Briton amd Slav, and to be a
momentous, one for civilization. Such
a contest will nkt be confined to Bri
ton and Slav, but will no doubt draw
others. It is almost bound to be a
in
world-Wide conflict; but the very im
portance and the tremendous conse
quences of it make seem improbable
thalt either nation will deliberately
provoke the other to the issue. It is
therefore, hardly probable that Russia
will interfere, directly or indirectly, in
the BrUtish-Boer contest. No nation
will, with its eyes open, precipitate
trouble between these great powers.
When it does come it will come from
the growing irritation of conflicting
interests in
which are
small importation of
the self tinted bnlettin their deadly J have lUSt TCCeiVed SL
tions. It is doubtful whether the- Boer
has ever heard of the convention of The
Hague, or that he would "heed its cove
nants if he had. He adheres to the old
fashioned notion that the business of
war is to kifl or disable your enemy.
If he believes 'the soft-pointed bullet
wIHU do his enemy more harm than the
hard, why that is the one he -will use;
no matter if all the peace conventions
in Christendom pronounced against it.

FINE PHRASES COVER BRITISH
RETREAT.
The usual phrases are used by the
military writers here ito disguise the
real nature of General- Yule's retreat
from Glencoe. It Is described as a sci
entific change of base, a brilliant strat
egic manoeuvre, a reconnoissance in
force of the enemy's position ana a pru
dent measure of irMlitary concentra
tion. It wras, in reality, a we'll con
ducted retreat from a position which
was occupied for political rather than
military reasons, and 'had become un
tenable when two British garriso'ns,
forty miles apart, were menaced b- -greatly
superior force. Similar unsci
entific tactics based on political con
sidelraltions have Involved the defense
of Mafeking, on the western border,
when military reasons are valid for a
concentration of forces at Kimberley.
'Some compensation for Yu'le's re
treat may be found for the English
side in the fadt that General Joubert
will remain In the field and continue to
conduct the warfare on modern meth
ods instead of reverting to guerrilla
tackles, as might have been done if a
second assault upon Gleneoe had beeu
repulsed with heavy losses. He will
be no match for General Buller when
the army corps is ready for an active
campaign in December, for Wis 'force
will be hampered and embarrassed by
the necessity of protecting guns which
are not well served and fighting from a
base with lines of communication to
keep open. The military critics agree
in saying that the war may be indefi
nitely prolonged by guerrilla tad tics,
but that it may also prove a short
camDaism if the Boers stick to i-r
it is artillery and try to fight in a regular
manner and by modern methods.

WEAPON USED BY THE BOERS.
-
The weapon used by the Boers in
their present war is the sporting model
of the Mannlicher. a German arm, per
haps the most powerful VeaPn of ,'ts
caliber and weight in the world. The
rifle is 'thirty inches in barrel, the car
bine twenty-four. It has a pistol grip,
sling -Ts,and hair triggers. Its
beii is 30. This rifle has an extreme
range of 4,500 yards and a killing range
of 4,000. At that distance the bullet
will go through two inches of solid ash
and - -v three of pine, quite enough
force to kill if the bullet struck a vi';al
part. At twenty yards it will soot
through fifty inches of pine. The bul
let for war is full-mantled, with a
fine outer skin of copper or ni-koT
Though the bullet makes but a small
orifice where it enters., the expansion
causes it to tear a hole as large as a
man's finger when it makes its exit.
Traveling at the ,rate of 2,000 feet per
second, the force of this bullet's blow
is tremendous.

conference of The Hague, just ended,
