BY BOER LEADESS PATHETIC PLEA IN AN OPEN LEJITER. Boer Leaders Ask the Burghers to Learn to Forgive and Forget ~--Arrangements for Disposal of Burghers. ¥ Pretoria, June 9.--The open letter of the Boer leaders to the burghers, in which peace is announced and in which the burghers are counselled to loyal acquiescence, is an eloquent and pathetic document. In it the leaders thank the . burghers for their poble sacrifices and express their sym- pathy for the bereaved. The letter con. clutles as follows : "Now that there is peace, and al though it is not a peace such as we longed for, yet let us abide, where God has led us. We can, with clear consciences, declare that for two and a half years our people have carried on the struggle in a manner almost unknown in history. Let us now grasp each others' hands, for another great struggle lies before us, a struggle for the spiritual and racial prosperity and welfare of our people. "Casting aside all feelings of bitter ness, let ue learn to forget and to forgive so that the deep wounds caus ed by this war may be healed." The document is signed by Mr. Schalkburger, formerly acting-presi dent of the Transvaal, and Gen. Louis Botha. Their New Life. Pretoria, June 9.--The arrangement for the disposal of the surrender burghers are almost complete. No large concentrations will be allowed in the outlying districts, owing to the difficulty which might arise in feeding the people. The burghers who can subsist upon their farms will be given ten days rations and allowed to begin their new life immediately; those who | are unable to subeist on their farms | will he permitted to join their fasilies | in the camps, and remain there until their homes ure once more made | habitable, and all others will be | divided among the various camps. | Better Feeling Exists: Bloemfontein, Orange River Colony, | June 9.---A strong. contrast to the | good feeling between Boer and Briton | is the bitterness existing between the burghers who are surrendering under | the peace terms and those burns who surrendered durin, the campaign. When the Boer leaders came to Bloem- fontein, previous to the conclusion of peace, they ecurtly refused to shake hands with those who had previously surrendered. The general belief is that relations between these two class- es of Boers will be embittered for a long time. Was No Connivance. London, June 9.--The suggestion that lord Kitchener, with the conniv- ance of the government, entered into a secret compact with the Boers to induce them to surrender was denied by the government leader, A. J. Bal- four, in the house of commons, to- Lday. Mr. Baliour declared so far as the government was aware no pledges and no assurances were given by lord Kitchener, which had not been pub- lished. Lord Kitchener is a despatch from Pretoria, under today's date, an- nounced the surrender, on Saturday and Sunday of 2,500 rifles, of which 448 were handed in by Cape Colony rebels. The remainder were principal ly from Gen. Dewet's men. The Brit- ish commander added that the cheers given by the Boers for the king were hearty. Bishops Are Disappointed. London Modern Society. The official notification of the earl marshal that the bishops are to wear black caps at the coronation will be very di inting to the extreme high i ey and not impossibly to some of their lordships themselves, who were rather anxious to be allow- ed to sport the mitre at the august ceremony on June 20th. It was cer tain, however, that the venerable pri: mate would not consent to what would be, in his eyes,-a quite un-An- glican innovation. It is no secret that the late bishop Creighton was much vexed at mot being allowed to appear mitred on the of 8t. Paul's au the jubilee in 1807. By way of com- perisation he wore a le skull cap of cloth of gold, which twinkled and glittered in the June sun to such an extent that the queen is said to have been quite dazzled by him and to have asked princess Beatrice what on earth the bishop of London had got on his head ! ---------- Seven Laborers Discharged.

King Edward's munificent giit to the ruined island of Martinique was inspired by deep sympathy and con- cern for the surviving suffers of a ter rible calamity; but his majesty might claim to have some degree of heredi- tary interest in that most unfortun- ate place as the scene of the first no table military exploit of hie grand: father, 'Major-General Prince Ed ward," the late duke of Kent, father of queen Victoria. His royal high- ness took a leading part in the ex- pedition against the French West Indies, which, sailing from Halifax in 1794, gainédd possesion of Martinique after a hard-fought struggle against Gen- Rochambeau and his forces, who were allowed to retire with the honors of war. The island, which bad once before been captured by the British, and restored, again reverted to France at the peace of Amiens, in 1802, to be once more taken and given back a few years later. The King And Mrs. Spurgeon. The miniature lake in the beautiful grounds at Westwood, Mrs. C. H Spawgeon's home always contained, until quite recently, at least one graceful swan. Reading in the papers that the king was reducing his stock of royal birds, says the Baptist, Mrs, Spurgeon wrote asking whether - she would be allowed to purchase one of them. Bir Framppis Knollys, in reoly, enquired whether his correspondent was Mrs. C. H. Spurgeon, of the Mot ropolitan Tabernacle, and on receiv- ing an affirmative answer, said the king would be to present Mrs. Spurgeon with a bird if she would ac- cept one. This gracious offer, it is un- necessary to say, was accepted, and in due course a letter of thanks was sent. The king ance again replied, say- ing he was glad to have given Mre. Spurgeon pleasure. The bird, which is a very fine one, has been appropri ately named "His Majesty." Salisbury"s Absent-Mindedness, Loudon Modern Society. The premier's absont-mindedness, or indifference to trifles---call it what one chooses--grows on him.

A clever London woman is making a living in a most unique way. She is writing sermons for English clercy- men, and the sale of the production nets her a tidy little income. Her hus- band, who died not long ago, was a clergyman, of London. His salary was not large, and he had hit on the idea of eking it out by writing sermons lor other men of the cloth. When he died there was a good supply of this pul pit material on hand, and it was bis only legacy to his widow. She took up the business where he had left it, and when she had sold ~1l of the stock sermons she bogan writing new ones herseli. These she kept on supplying her customers, and it is only rently that some of them have received an inkling of the truth that the sermons which they are buying are not those written by the dead clergyman, but by a woman, Drunkenness And Tobacco. Baltimore Amerioss. A prominent physician of Texas, af ter a close study of the causes of drunkenness, concludes that no one can become addicted to the excessive use of alcoholic stimulants unless he also uses or has used tobacco in some form. This seems to show that even physicians are sometimes. fallible.

Lavell sang "Father 0' Flynn," but it so pleased the greater part of the audience that an emcore was demanded. Mr. Meclrvine recited the chariot race from "Ben Hur," and as he finished Dr. Griffin rose and ack- ed for a ruling as to whether or not the conference had not offended agnindt the "explanatory rule" in attending a horse race. (Much laughter.) The pre sident said that Methodist ministers bad always been known as admirers of fine horses, and had seldom lost an opportunity to see them in good surroundings. (Applause. ) Must Attend Drill. Lieut, Col. Skinner stated today that the attendance at to-morrow night's parade of the 14th regiment would decide whether or not the invi tation' to attend the coronation par ada at Montreal would be accepted or refused. If the turnout is not promis ing the invitation will certainly by re jected, as Col. Skinner will not take to Montres! a regiment of half-drillod men, nearness of inspection is another reason why there should be a large turnout. -- S------------ Gave Him a Send-Off. i The members of the bicycle club marched in a body from the club rooms yesterday afternoon to give their fellow member, W.
