Douglas Story Describes Him as Having the Appearance Of a Hebrew Patriarch and Man- ners of an Old-Time French Seigneur--A Character Sketch. generals, Gen. Delarey has the ap pearance of & Hebrew patriarch, the wanners of an old-time French seig- Heur. during the present war, he rose, and, speaking in the taal, said: "Bir, I welcome you. You have a reputation as an honest man, and the republic has need of truthful chroniclers in these days." So ceremonial 8 greeting was never any Boer leader in the war, And vet is Delarey a true Boer. The fine limes of his Huguenot ancestry are apparent in his high-bridged, finely chiseled hose, his well-poised head, his delicate breast is swept by a welleombed beard, and his whele stalyre shortened by the massivencss of hig fine head. with a finé reputation as a a field cornet he had served his coun try im all of its native wars since 1652, and when the Free State was at charge of a commando. sent in the first volkeraad, and gain: ong opponent of Paul Kruger, be said some years 80, in my presence, to very intimate fiends of "No good oi way." commandant-general bert died. by seli-advertisement, nor political opinions such as to gain vol ariment,. yet has done work second to mond in the field. In the first days of the war the Free State Boers recognized the importan of seizing Orange river and De Aar. To that end they despatched two com mandoes--the Jacobsdal and Faure smith--with orders to take those im portant and exposed British outposts. rival commandants quarrelled inces santly, and valuable weeks were frit tered away. Finally, in a krygsraad held in the Inager before Kimberley, it was decid- of that vech®general Prinsloo, 300 Free Staters, and Gen. Deldrey, with. 600 Transvaalers, should join these commandoés and push matters energetically in the southwest corner of the state. Vecht-general Prinsloo was given supreme command, as it was a Free State affair, and Free Sta- ters formed the majority of the force at his disposal.

So far, Delarey, the silent man had not interieseed in the arcange- ment of matters. His chance came at Modder river. {| The true story of Modder river bat ! tle has not yet besn told. Suffice it { that Gen. Delarey, and not Gen. { Cronje, was the moving spirit- on the Boer side. He chose the positions, ! and be foaght the battle. In the even ing the Boers, who had lost all of | their commissariat at Belmont, re treated © to their hooid laagers in search of food. They had won the battle, but physical necessity forced them to yield the ground. it was at this fight that Gen. De larey suffered a tragic loss. 1 give the little story exactly as the wea: therworn general gave it to me. Re member only that its tragedy was in finitely deeper when one was in the ac | thal presence of that taciturn, sed eved man, with his soft voice stilling the movement of his busy sljutants. "Yeu, | had my eldest boy with me {in the first battles. He was only fif teen, and not big jor his age, but wherever I went he went, and 1 think he did his duty. "We were walking together from one position to "another at Modder river, when the Boy began to lag a little i behind. { he were hit? " 'Yes, father.' » "1 said, 'Yon had better come with me to the ambulance, then." And we walked across to the tent. "Arrived there, he lay down, and began to grow very weak. 1 ds 'Does 1t pain you, boy ¥ 's 'Yes, father.' "* 'Are you going to die, my son * Yom, father. "In half an hour he was dead, shot through the abdomen.' Outside a brandwatht were offi-sad- dling their horses. Across the tent the adjutantis returned to their tele grams, and theif despatches, The weary man in the middle slowly lit his great pipe and we talked of other things These two men, lord Roberts and Gen.

Throughout the war Gen, Delarey has been continuously at the front He lay very ill for a time at Kroon stadt, but rose from his bed to take command of the scattered commandos opposing lord Roberts' advance from Bloemfontein. I bad a curious discussion with Mr Reitz once ad to the height of Gen Delarey. I had called him a "small ish man,' and the state secretary contended he was tall. In matter of 1 inches 1 believe Mr. Reitz was correct, Jom if 1 were deseribing the man to Delarey oc of the Boer Sone who desired to gecognize him, | should still call' him 'a smallish man. | His massive head and heavy beard {set on a spare, clean-cut body, gin® {him the appearance of a man of very a stature.

Death Fight in The Cage--Battle in The Zoo at Marseilles Wit- nessed by Three Children Too Terrified to Move. s Marseilles, March 11.--A sirange fuel wast fought lately in the Marseil tes zon between the only adult gorilla in Europe and his keeper, The gorilia was killed after a fight lastisg twenty minutes, in* which the keeper was so horribly mangled that he died five hours later, Ihe famous gorilla was called Fran: eois. He was one of the largest spe cies. and always had heen perfectly tractable, showing especial affection for his keeper..a man of the name of Journoux. until the latter married a few weeks ago. ° The bride visited the zoo often and the gorilla was very sensitive about the attention she showed Journoux. When he perceived that she undoubt- edly preferred his keeper, Francois be came more and more jedlous, and finally Journoux found it impossible to approach the gorilla, especially if Mrs. Journoux was in sight. Four davs ago Francois was so enrly and quiet that biz keeper thought he was sick and entered the tage to comfort his for pet. The gorilla imgmedia sprang up- on him. Jourgoux held a short taw- vr's fork, which dlone accounts for the fight lasting so long. It being dione time all the other keepers had withdrawn to a distant shanty, Only thres children witnessed the terrible fight, and they were so terrified that they failed to fetch help until Journoux had succeeded in es- caping from the cage. The gorilla followed before the door econld be shut ana the duel was con tinted outside from ove end of the building to the other, as is shown by the blood stains. Finally the chili'rn ran away velling By the timed help arrived the gorilla had been Killed The keoper was found with one eve torn out, rapidly losing blood from many other wounds, and laboriously trying to crawl'away on © ail [urs One hand had heen completely chewed off and the lower lip and part of the chin had also been bitten off. ---------- FEAST OF HORSE FLESH, ---- nn Members Of Paris Society Eat Hippo Meat.
