TRANSVAAL WAR.

THE AMERICAN PRESS AND THE WAR.

A New York correspondent of a London newspaper writes :—Although most Amen^| cans heartily sympathise with England id her struggle with the Boer Republics, there has recently been a marked decrease io , publio interest m South African war newr. Excited crowds no longer su; round the newspaber offices, reading alleged war bu!- j Inline } and a football match now makes i more stir than an alleged battle. The sen sational newspapers are responsible fur thia. When the war commenced they immediately began publishing wild, weird stcrioe of fighting m South Africa- embellished with headlines m the hugest type, and daily announce 1 the "Capture of O^oi! Rhodes," •• Surrender of Ladyamith," " Boers March ing on Capetown," and other choice pieces of ficioD, which purported to have been r ceived by pigeon-post, wireless telegraphy, heliograph, or native runner. People finally became tired of being hoaxed, and the inte rest m the war declined. Now only actually important happenings m the theatre of war command attention:

SOME ONLY SONS IN THE WAR.

Among the many who have re'atioDß either gone or going to the Cape (says a Society writer) none obtain more sympathy than the mothers who are parting with their only sons. Among those who have left lately or are leaving are the heirs to very great estates* Mr Dudley Marjosi banki, who is a lieutenant m the Royal Horse Guards, and goes out with th« com posite regiment of Household Cavalry, is the only iton of Lord and Lady Tweedmouth ; and Lord Howard de Walden, who ia m the lObh Hussars, and only suooeeded to the title this month, is also an only son of his mother, and she is a widow. Captain Hobart, of the Grenadier Guards, who has already distinguished himself m Uganda, and who has Again been sent off, is a collateral m the Bucking hamshire family, while his mother is a sister of Lord Kesteven. Mr George West, the only son of Mr and Mrs Gorr. wallia West, is heir to Ruthiu O*stle and New^ande, and is m the Scots Guards ; and Mr Geoffrey Stewart, the only Bon of ihe late Sir Herbert and Lady Stewart, is a lieutenant m the Grenadier Guards ; while Mr B. We)W-Poley, wh< has quite lately joined the 3rd Battalion of the Grenadier Guards, is another only son. Captain Charles Sergison is the only son of the late Major Wardens Sergisor. Ha married a daughter of Lord Hude'ey, but has no eon, Lord Castlereagh, is anether only bod, who, it> was thought, might have gone to the Cape; but although he wtw keen to go it. was a matter of seniority • and not of sel< o tion, and his nome has therefore not been include A m the list

Read carefully JHn investigate for yourself. 29 Pftckiogston St., St. KUda. Mr S A Palmer, Vitadatio Institute, Bourke st Sir,—As I oonsider Webbers' Great Herbal Remedy, " Vitadatio," has been the ■old means of saving my life I think the least I can do is to hand you this testimonial, so that others suffering the same as myself may know that (here is ft certain reliable cure for them m " Webber's Vitadatio," if it is only given a fair trial. The simple facts of my cace are as follows:—For the past 10 years I have been under the treatment of doctors m Fitaroy and St, Kilda, as well as some of the best m Collins street. Some were of opinion that I was suffering from consumption, whilst others stated it was pleumy. At any rate they could give ma no relief, let alone cure me. You can easily imagine that I had little hope of ever being cured. Bub one day I noticed an advertised cure by " Webber'* Vitadatio," and the symptoms of the patient being somewhat similar to my own, I thought I would give it a trial, with the result Hhat much taking only two large bottlei), I felt after better, and continued the medicine. By the time I had taken eight bottle* I was wonderfully recovered, but otae day took very ill, and vomited up a lot of slimy : matter, which was afterwards examined by the doctor, and pronounced to be lly^atid*. I conticned to vomit these " Hydatidi" for some time, but at last it died away. This naturally left me weak, but I continued with the "Vitadatio," and gradually my strength returned, until to-day I ca« honestly state I have never felt better m the whole of my life. I consider " Webber's Vitadatio" a miracle-worker. I am well-known m Fitzroy, and there are many others just as much astonished at my oaru as I am. I shall b» pleased to apeuk to anyone and give them my own experience of the worth of " Webber's Vitada< io." You are at perf< et liberty to make what use you like of this testimonial. I may add I em Oow able to do all my own household work ; a thing I ha«e been unable to do for years.—Yours very" gratefully, Mrs) CARRIE HOrKING Witnees-G X Richard'on, 11/9/99 VITADATI 1» IS A TRULY WONDER FUL ME DICINK.- Vitadatio sold everywhere, 5» 6d and 3 6d ;Head Office for N.Z -39 Wanness Street, Wellington.
