AT the the recent National Coven.

passed.

lutions, one censuring the general
government, the President; Attorney
General Griggs aud ex-Secrelrsv OF
War Alger by name for their action
on the anti.canteen law, and the other
denouncing the war in the Philip
pines. The resolutions were as fol-
lows:
"We deeply deplore the attitude ia
ken by our nation with respect to the
Philippine Islands, and since govern

action as shall be in accord with the

FALLING HALF A MILE.
Some Wonderful Escapes from Imminent
Death.

Death.
There used to be a story in Hawaii
about native who always took his
morning nip off point Of cliff 1870
feet above the surf. Naturally
enough this yarn met with little be-
lief, but, considering the distance a
man can fall and yet live, the Hawaii
natives performance is perhaps not
so wonderful as it sounds.
Only the other day one read of
Mile. Morel, who, with her mother,
fell on the Alps near Zermatt, a dis
lance of over 1900 feet. The first 80
feet of this was perpendicular, and the
rest down tremendously steep slope.
Yet, though the mother was killed,
the younger woman escaped with
mere bruises.
F. S. Sutherland, late Of the United
States navy, has turned steeple jack,
and has had in this exciting profess
sion many wonderful escapes. While
in Chicago in 1898 he climbed the wa
terworks tower, 240 feet high.
When near the top a stone gave,
and he made a sheer plunge of IT'S
feet. He struck the telegraph wires
40 feet above the street, and landed in
six inches of slgsh in the roadway.
Hundreds Of people saw Suther-
land falling, and stood spellbound
with horror, At fearful death seemed
inevitable--nay, it was generally be-
lieved that he was dead long before he
reached the telegraph wires. Doctors
and ambulances were sent for in the
hope that a spark of life might re-
main; but when the doctors examined
Sutherland they declared, much to
the onlookers' surprise, that there
was little the matter with him. After
seven days in the hospital he was up
and about again.
Mr.. Whymper's fall when climbing
alone on the Matterhorn the year be-
fore his successful ascent is we'll
known. He bounded from rock to
rock down the bottom of an almost
perpendicular gully for over 300 feet.
His head was badly cut, but the only
lasting evil effect was the impairing
of his memory.
A few years ago father attempted
to kill his children by throwing them
off the suspension bridge at Clifton,
and one of them, a girl about II
years of age, survived that terrific
plunge. A woman, too, once reached
the water below in safety, after an at
tempt at suicide by jumping from the
same parapet. But this happened in
the days of the crinoline, and it was
the balloon-like expanse saved her.
Most marvellous Of all is the &C
count of Charles Woolcot's terrific
tumble from height of no less than
5000 feet. 1t was in Venezuela and
he was making a parachute descent.
The parachute refused to open till
within 100 or 200 feet of the ground.
Then it spread out Suddenly-and
split.
The unfortunate man crushed both
ankles and both knees, broke his right
thigh and hip, dislocated his spinal
column and suffered other injuries.
Yet after a year in hospital, he, too,
recovered sufficiently to write an ac-

fearful accident mortal man ever sur

BOER WORDS
Meaning and Pronunciation Of
Those Most Seen in
Dispatches.

The American reading public has
found considerable difficulty in pro-
nonncing the Dutch names that come
in the cables from far-off Africa. The
language of the beers is identical gram
NAUTICAL but ne. IN idiom with that
Of the people of Holland. The Dutch
Africans are called Beers because that
word describes their class--farmers.
The pronunciations given the letters
in these Dutch words are not like
those of the English. The double 90"
for instance, is pronounced by the
Dutch as we pronounce 900" in boot.
The English pronunciation of these
two diphthongs is the reverse of that
given them by those who speak Dutch.
"Ou' has the sound of COW" in owl.
The sound OF "ui" is nearly like that
of the English COY" in bow. The
Dutch double "sa" is the same as the
English ga" in war. As there is no
"y" in Dutch, itsplace is taken by
81" which is sounded as 'y" in defy.
II ore, therefore, would pronounce
OJm Paul properly he would say it as
il it were spelled some Powl." The
family name of Gen. Joubert would
for the same reason, be pronounced as
if it were spelled "Yowbert." The
word Boer is pronounced by the Afri.
kander as il it were of two syllables
the first long and the second short,
thus: "Boo-er." The plural is not
"Booers." 1t is "Booer-en," and it is
pronounced "Bo. ereh," because the
final s'n" is slurred. Here are some of
the Dutch words that ARE oftenest in
print in connection with the news of
the Transvssl, and their pronuncia-
ton and meaning: ....
