Death of Corporal Byrne

Referring to the death of Corporal Byrne, the Morning Post says : —

t'a reosipt of the news of the death of Corpora! Byrne, at the Priory od Monday awning, the dead-bell at the onuroh of the Baored Heart (of which the deceased was a member) was tolled oub of respect for him. Not only in fcho volunteer circles, but also throughout the whole of Tiniaru and district, the news of the death of Corporal XV. 3. Byrne will be received with regret and sorrow, and many were tho anxious hop«u and erquiries that news would be received that it was not " Billy" Byrne, of Timsru, who had met hii death Bghting for Quean and country in South Africa. But the fint news was confirmed by cables from Sir Alfred fllilner. The receipt of the news oast quite a gloom over Timaru, and meet* inga and volunteer parades were dismissed oat of rcspicfi to one so popu'ar in Timaru It ib just eight months since Corporal Byrne left Wellington with the First Contingent, and daring his career aa a eoldier of (he Empire be has &<-J|d with conspicuous gallantry ; and • the Regret cauaed by hia death is accentuated by the fact that he had gone unscathed so Kr, evidently through the heaviest part of the campaign. Corporal Byrne wan born at Rakaia, and WM 24 years of age. He came to Timaru wi en a year old, and was brought up in Timaru, where durintr the tventy-three years Bpent here he h. d endeared himself to all who knew him. He was at one time engaged at the Atlas milla for five or six years, and latterly at the Belford mills. He was an enthusiastic volunteer, and was a member of the now defunoo battery, which was turned into the company known now as the City Rifles Id this company Corporal Byrse held the position of sergeant, which he filled With credit- alike to himself and his fellow effioers, and he would undoubtedly have occupied a high position in volunteer circles in Timara. He waa one of the beat shots in bit company, and for his many manly quali ties, his ever ready assistance to any project tha*) tendered to a better state of volunteer ing, and for his genial temperament he wai a universal favourite. He met his death on May 28th fighting near Johannesburg, and it the first from Timaru who, in giving his life for the Empirs, has met a hero's death, Mr and Mrs Byrne and family have the sin cere sympathy of all in their bereavement.

VICTOR* ALL ALONG THE LINE ! If ever a man was justified in applying to himself ".he proverb " Nothing succeeds like success" that man is Lord •' Bob*." From the time he took up the reins in the African campaign his progress has been a series of unqualified victories. Nob only bo, but under his brave and skilful leadership the British troops have done nobler and better work under thnir various officer?. True, the pioneer work had to be done, and but rarely does the laurel wreath fall to the lot of the pioneer. The misfortunes under Gatacre and Met hnen at Magersfontein, Spion Kop, and elsewhere were and enough, but perhaps in some degree unavoidable . don't let ub be too hard. The brave men fougjht as only brave men could, and took defeat as none but heroes can. We hon^r them, and forget the disasters in tin glorious triumphs of Kimberlfcy, Ladysmith, Mafoking, Juhan nesbnrg v and now—»b last~Pretoria! 1 At the mention of these names one's blood runs twice he quick,*one's heart beats hard, and we pat ourselves and say : •• It's grand to be a Britou !' Who dare deny it? What nation can deal with Native races as the British do, taking of their own best blood and breeding, and setting it to mould afresh and develop the latent capacities of newly-acquired territory ? With what suc cess history can too well prove. Take Ceylon, at one time a worthless island, at the acquisition of which the " Little Kngiander "* might well jeer, but what has British energy and pluck made of it ? Nothing less than the world's garden for the world's most exquisite beverage. Yes ; Ceylon tea stands for the beat, and " Hondai Lanka " for the most excellent of the many brands shipped from the sunny isle. Mr Webster, of the Co-operative Gardens Company, travels the world in order that the knowledge gained may keep the teas supplied by hia company to the British Army and Navy in the position which these honorable bodies ever maintain—that is, at thi front, ahead of all others. These are the teas for which the Hondai Lanka Tea Company, Dunedin, are Bole agents, and they have commanded that suc cess which qua'ity and merib secure, in creased sales every month, and unqualified approval on all handß.

THE LAST HOURS OB 1 GENERAL JOUBERT. There is reason to believe that the severe internal infUmmation frcm which General Jouberb died followed upon an accident whiob befell h>m while discharging his duties at tha fronb. A horae he waa riding fell, and iDJuriea were itflicted from the effect; of which the brave General—" Oom Piet" as he waa to all Afrikanderdom—was never ; free. The medical men attendiug the late Commandant-General were Dra Lingbeek ami Hi ffm!»n, M.L. A., of the Cape Ambu lance with the Federal forces. They gave up hope when symptoms of heart failure manifested themselves. General Joubert was unconscious for nearly six hours before he died. His last coherent words were addressed to Postmaster-General Van Al pheD, ttnd were full of eloquent expressions of love for his country and people. During the following hours he was fighting through a great imaginary battle, giving commands to despatch-riders, and dictating telegrams to commandants. An eye-witness of General Jouberb's last obsequies at Bustfontein states that the most touching incidents were old Mrs Jouberb acting as one of bhe bearers of the eoffiu to the grave, and the solemn last honours paid by several huadreda of veteran greybeards, all life-long companionsiu-arms af the late Oomm<mdant-General.



Zt Was Not tta Climate "l have been well as to my general health "—so wrote the late Dr O W Holmes a short time before his death — " but have had a good deal of asthma. The climate is cold and rough, but I have found much that is delightful about my residence here in Boston (America). Perhaps, after all, the fault is not so much in latitude 42 %a in age 82." That was it. The wise thinker did not deceive himself. He knew that it is the wasting muscles that complain of the steepness ot tha hills and the thinning bio: d that fancies tha winters are colder than they used to be. And it was not because Mra Amy Harvey had lost intierest in her domestic sfftira that Bhe was led to say everything was a trouble and a burden. No ;it was because she had lost her strength. Whether a duty is a burden or not de pends on the back which hat) to carry it. 4h, dear me, how constantly experience enforces that lesson upon ih, Then wh"\t keen concern we feel in tho answer to the question : What will strengthen the quivering limbs % Whab will restore t he vigor of ihe mind ? " All my life," saya Mrs Harvey, UI have suffered off and on from indigestion and weakness. I felt low and languid, with a disagreeable sinking sensation atter taking ray meals. I had no energy ; everything waa a trouble and a burden. Aa soon as I hast partaken of food, no matter how light, I felt a fulness and a gnawing pain at my chest, as if something were tearing ifc. " I also suffered much from nervous headache and was often dizzy. My breathing was shore, and if I exerted myself I was quite out of breath. As time went on I gob extremely weak and could not attend to my work, " I saw doctor after doctor and was told I by them that my ailment was owing to my food not digesting " The doctors were right That was the trouble, and the only one. Yeb instead of being a comparative trifle as many ehal nw persons S3y,*it is the nposb serious of all diseases. Of course some of her food digested more or less fully ; other wise she could not have lived a fortnight. But the nourishment; was never enough for the wants of the body. Hence the nervwU? headaches, the asthma, the sinking sensation, the dizziness, the gnawing pain, and the disabling weak ness. The body under these conditions is Ike a house abandoned to decay. All goes to r<ick and ruin. ' I took the doctors'medicines," con tinues thia lady's plain account, " bub my case w>\B an obstinate one, and nona of them seemed of any avail. "In May, 1891, a neighbour told me of i he benefit she had derh c i frrm Mother Seigel's Syrup I got a b jttle from Messrs W Fox and Sons, Chemists, Bethnal Green, and when I had taken it two days I fait much relief. I continued taking it, and could eat and enjoy my food without having pain. I now gifned strength and felt brighter than I had ever done in my life. " ?ince then I have kept well, tiking a dose or two of Mother Bcigel's Syrup when I need it; and I find i 1" always puts me right. You can publish this statement if you think fib. (Signed) (Mrs) Amy Harvey, 19, • J ' Block, Dufferin Street, Buahlll Row, London, Jcme26ch, 1896."



"In March, 1894," writes smother, *I had a severe attack of Infiaema which left rue extremely weak. I was troubled with indigestion and want of appetite. Having read of the wonderful curea made by M ..ther Seigel's Syrup, I decided fco try it. I gob a botfclo from Mr Wni. Hy. Jones, the chemist in Caledonian Road. In two days I felt great benefit. I coald eat, and food agreed with me, causing no paia. In a few days I wag completely cured and aa well as ever. "Since that time I have kept Mother Seigel's byrup in tho house as a family medicine, and ih always relieves when any of us suffer from Indigestion, etc. I have pleasure in making this statement, and you can publish ie if you wish.
