London, March 6—News has just reached here of two exciting scrim- The entertainment opened with | mages by British troops and tribesmen ‘K in Africa. In the first of these, Major Lionel Joyce Conry of the Connaught Rangers, who was awarded the dis- tinguished service medal in South Africa in 1900, was killed in a fight with outlaws near Wadai Hadi, in the Sudan. Major Conry was in charge of a contingent of an Arab battalion of the Egyptian army. The leaders of the outlaws and other members of the band were killed and the remainder made prisoners. Besides Major Conry the British troops lost three men killed and four wounded. In the second affair Lieutenant Jones was shot through both legs during an attack on a stockade by Abyssinian raiders in British East Africa. When Lieutenant Jones was wounded all his soldiers except three orderli fied. These men, at Jones' command, retook the stockade by assault. Two of the soldiers, then bore the wounded both natives, officer on a stretcher 500 miles to his post. Blood | poisoning meantime had set in, and Jones was conveyed to another post where a doctor was stationed. On their arrival, however, the doctor was absent and a journey to Nalrobi was then started. On the way the stretch- er was charged by two rhinos, which the faithful orderlies killed. At Nyiri a doctor and a nurse were found. The muscles of one of Jones' legs were 80 shrunk that the leg will al- ways be four inches shorter than the other and Jones will be a cripple for life. The doctors regard Jones' arrival at the hospital alive as miraculous. ODD FACTS ABOUT TITLES. Dom Pedro II, who lost the throne of Brazil in 1889, was the last monarch to offer titles for sale. In order to ob- tain funds for the erection of a hos- pital in Rio de Janeiro, the emperor announced that he would confer the title of “baron” on every subscriber of 100,000 milreis, and the title of “count” on ‘every subscriber of 250,000 milreis. Many proved willin~ to become enno- bled on these terms, and suficient money was forthcoming to endow the hospital as well as build it. Over the main entrance may still be seen the inseription suggested by Dom Pedro, “Human Vanity to Human Misery Although French titles of nobility abolished at the time of the revolu- tion b va decree that was revived In 1871, yet the ministry of justice issnes certificates of nobility. = Members of the French diplomatic service who use titles have to obtain one of these cer- tificates and pay stifily for the tra action. The fees in the case of a duke amount to $2,400, a marquis pays $2,- 000, a viscount $1,400, a baron 3300 and a chevaller $260. The Faithful Six. French electors oceasionally have some home truths thrown at them by candidates who fail to secure enough votes. At the last general election M.
