Did Misspelled word Cause WARP

An ingenious explanation of the action
of DIR. Jameson is given by the London
correspondent of the Birmingham Gazette.
According to this, Jameson, with his men,
were waiting for some word from Johannes
burg. 1t came in telegram, worded
thus: Revolution carried, in compliance
with your desire That was the tele-
gram received. The telegram actually
sent from the johannesburg cemmitte was:
Resolution carried, in compliance with
your desire. That ''v' instead of IS
made all the difference Jameson made
his plunge into the enemy country, ex-
pecting to find the settlers in arms waiting
for his coming Instead, he found only
great masses of armed Beers barring his
way The Beers were fully prepared, and
expected his coming. This raises the curl
GUS suggestion. Had they anything to do
with altering the telegram? Was it a trap
for the English raiders to draw them on
in order to justify the quaint vulgarism of
Kruger that when the tortoise put out its
head obey would cut it off?

CLERaYMEN MUST PAY.
New England Preachers Are Not Favored

preachers who ride on railroad trains
in New England are not favored with free
passes. They pay the same fare the gen.
eral public is required to pay, " said W. +.
Babcock, railroad official of Boston.
"All New England lines decided long
while ago that preachers should pay full
fare. don't see why a man who is trying
to save souls and draws S6,0 u year sal

hauled about the country free of charge,
while the poor devil who works six days n
week must pay full fare. The custom of
giving railroad passes 10 preachers origi-
mated in the days of the carly settlements in
various parts of the country when min
lister travelled from place to place on a
large circuit and sometimes had no fixed
salary but accepted donations from the
people. In those times the settlers were
unable TO donate liberal sums. So the
railroads thought IL no moro than n proper
spirit of benevolcnce TO allow the preachers
to ride free. But is there any valid reason
