ONE BIB WAR GOES ON AND WORLD IGNORANT 'f 1 ,000 Doers Die in Revclf and Prisoners. New March 5. Announce ment in the Capetown assembly ac cording to a cablegram from there that there have been 1,00 casualties in the South African rebellion; and that 10,000 rebel Boers have surrendered, is the first intimation of the seriousness of the uprising which has been passed by the cenor. The British public, as well as the world at large, has been allowed Ito believe that no more than a handful of the Boers were rebellious. Now, however, it has suddenly become known that while so large a part of the population is involved in the.

uprising only a' few ringleaders will be prosecuted. The announcement in effect raises the status of the rebellion to a condition of civil war, and it is improbable that penalties with the crimes of sedition and mutiny will ever be imposed on any of the principals now under arrest. From the fact that announcement is now publicly made of the extent of the revolt, it is probable that the backbone of resistance has been broken.

WHY FARM JOBS GO BEGGING 'According to Chicago's superintendent of public welfare, farmers are offering i.i.- .1 v. iranspunaiiun ujiu in suuie wjiuu jrnd washing, but a great many of the imemploycd refuse to go to the farms. The previous week GOO men visited the office and demanded work of any kind, yet 100 jobs on farms are not taken up. The reason commonly assigned why men are not willing to move out of large cities and take farm jobs, is that they dislike to give up the stir and life of the cities.

The dark and still country, without picture shows and electric lights, teems lonely and boresome. But perhaps many of these men are foo indolent for the hard labor of the farm, or are physically too weak, or feel that they are. A man who had always lived a rather idle life once remarked that he had rather suffer severe pain than workj-with his Jiands. This man had inherited a little farm whose fields were weedy, its buildings lacked shingling and painting, fences were down. He was fond of reading poetry and philosophy, but there were rumors that his family.

dd not get enough to eat. The hard lot of such men is not gen erally regarded as being as pathetic as ihev seem to think. Many of the unemployed look as if they were victims of driigs or liquor. They arc looking for soft jobs not calling for muscle. The best way to show in such cases is to take steps to prevent the new generation from ac-quiring the same habits.

If a nirtu is practically sure of regular employment as soou as general business starts up. it might be foolish to move out on a farm. Yet a few weeks of out-. door labor this, spring following the Vloujrh and exercising the spade might make a new man of him, and lead him to Bee new possibilities in life.

EMPLOYER'S DUAL LIFE SHOWN Girl Was Stenographer' at Office of Radiator Company Head in Whose Company She Disappeared Latter Was Maintaining Two Homes, With Children by Another Girl.

New Haven, March. 5. The dead body of Lillian May Cook, the eigh teen year old Brooklyn girl who dis appeared from her filing desk at the Mayo Radiator company's plant here a week ago, or about thQ same houl that Virginius Mayo, head of the firm left for a business trip to Washington, was found in the underbrush on the top of West Rock, a mountainous park four, miles to the northwest of this city. The girl had shot herself through the heart, evidently on the afternoon of the day of her disappearance. A superficial examination of the body by medical examiner M.

M. Scarborough did not show any reason for her Only two or three hours before the girl's body was found, it was learned here from dispatches from Brooklyn that Virginius Mayo, the wealthy and distinguished looking employer of Miss Cook, who had personally taken her in his office as file clerk a year ago, had a second household occupied by "Mr. and Mrs. James Dudley" at 54C Fourth street, Brooklyn, in addition to the somewhat pretentious home he occupies here with his wife. Mayo Is "James Dudley." Mayo admits he is the "James Dudley" of the Brooklyn establishment, which he visited once a week and that the "Mrs.

Dudley" in his Brooklyn home is not his. wife, but is the mother of two or three children in his Brooklyn home. At the' same time, however, Mayo vehemently denies that there over has been wrong doing on the part of Miss Cook, whose body has just been found. But Mayo does admit that for some months Miss Cook lived in the "Dudley" house in Brooklyn in the capacity of maid to "Mrs. Dudley." During this period, says Mayo, the young Cook girl knew that Mayo was not the husband of "Mrs.

Dudley," who is a New Haven girl named Lois Waterbury," Mayo's stenographer here up to. the time he installed Miss Wa-terbury under the name of "Mrs. Dud ley" in the house in Brooklyn he owns. Mayo No Angel. "Yes, I know the woman in Brook lyn known as Mrs.

Dudley," Mayo said. "She. lives in a house I own there. Two of the with her are our daughters. I haven't any regard for the conventions and neither has she.

I know I'm no angel and I don't care what the people say." From intimates of the dead girl, from the authorities in the Young Women's Christian association here, where Miss Cook had a room, from Mayo himself and from all, in' fact, who discussed a possible cause for the suicide there was a unanimity of opinion that the'girl had developed a suicide mania a year or more ago. She Often Talked Suicide. The only definite reason anyone would give 'for the girl's act was that her mind had become weakened through excessive study. Mayo and Miss Cook never were seen together here' outside of office hours. So far a3 her intimates knew the girl had no love affairs of any sort.

Her girl friends said, however, that Lillian was somewhat reticent about her own affairs except that she was a bit verbose for months about ending! her own life by poison or with a revolver. Only the day before she disappeared from the factory her close friend and roommate at the Y. W. C. A.

here, who is a stenographer at Mayo's office, came upon Lillian in the women's dressing room of the factory standing in front of a mirror and pointing the night watchman's revolver the weapon she used to kill herself finally pointed toward her left breast. "Lillian, Lillian," screamed Miss Wilson, "what are you doing?" "I'm just picking out a good spot to shoot myself some time," Lillian answered, lowering the revolver. When she was found by a searcher who will claim the reward of $500 offered by Mayo to whomever would find her, she lay on her side with a bullet wound through her left breast, "the best spot" she had decided upon a week ago before the factory mirror. And beneath her body lay the night watchman's revolver, to which she had had access any time as it always lay loaded, in an unlocked drawer of the factory during, the day.

WORK OF CONGRESS LAUDED BY WILSON President Dictates Statement Washington, March 5.: President Wilson dictated the following state ment' about congress and its work: "A great congress has' closed its sessions.
