WAS BORN IN PHILADELPHIA

Philadelphia Times.
Philadelphia Is the birthplace OF Gen.
Plet Joubert the commandcr.l ln-chief
~ the Boer forces, In the narrow
three -storied brick building at liO5
Arch street the man who has outgen-
eraled the commander Of the British
troops at Ladysmith first saw the
light, The building has been altered
somewhat since II was occupied by the
Joubert family, but II remains today
practically as II was at the time OF
Joubert's birth.
Very little is known In this city Of
the Joubert family. Francis ]. Crilly
special deputy Of the custom house
and surveyor Of the port, +. NJ, Lytle
accidentally learned that the Jouberts
were at one time residents of Phlla-
delphia, A little search revealed the
fact that 1905 Arch street was their
place Of residence and that 1t was here
that Piet Joubert was born, The
family was in moderate circumstances
and soon after the birth OF the boy,
who has since earned worldwide fame,
they removed to some little town in
the central part OF Pennsylvania.
Before coming to Philadelphia the
Jouberts had lived short time in
Holland. The elder Joubert was q
Frenchman but he fell In love with
a girl in the south of Holland and
soon after their marriage they emil
grated to America.
When the great stories Of South At
rican wealth reached America Jou-
bert decided 10 take his family there,
He Joined a colony from Holland and
settled at Fransche Hoek, near stel-
lenbosche, where other members of his
family We're living.
The Joubert name has been promi-
nent in the Transvaal for many years
and II was but natural that the Amer.
lean born Joubert would especially
distinguish himself. He has been q
leader in South Africa since early II

Mineral Wool.

Mineral wool looks very much like
sotton batting with little bits or glass
scattered through it. IL is made in this
way: There are two streams of Stag
(Which is the scum from from, one in
each side, and jet of steam in be-
tween. and as the two streams of alag
meet the steam the mineral wool is
formed.
The blast that is used to send the Stag
over the steam comes with such force
that it sends the wool formed from the
Stag flying to all parts of the building,
and some getting outside Of the build
ing makes it look as though it were
covered. with snow.
AS the wool flies around the little
particles of glass separate from it, and
as the Stag was redhot the pieces of
glass are OH fire, and they look like lit
tie stars flying around.
1t is used for packing around registers
and between walls. 1t is a nonconductor
Of heat, therefore it will not burn.

With an exclamation Of anger Dave

cling to the tale Of that disgraceful final
orgy with friend Ben Jonson. Possibly

incredulous EXPLANATIONS of the men.
"Well swami" muttered the old
man, springing up with unusual alac-
rity and securing the dollar. "It sure
is money" he added after a moments
careful scrutiny. "Ireckon that's about
the luckiest shot you ever made, stran-

The stranger acknowledged the truth
Of the observation and reached for the
little round piece. AS the goldpiece
passed from hand to hand various star
thing theories were advanced to explain
the manner in which it had reached the
crop of the sage hen; but, as it after
ward transpired. they were all wide of
the mark.
Meanwhile Amelia had turned her at
tention to the snipe and then to the
second sage hen.

frightened amazement, 81 do believe l

around the table Amelia proceeded with
the dissection of the bird. Amid pro
found silence she revealed Its interior

At the first sound of hoofs upon the
AIRY sod Amelia deserted the dishpan
and stationed herself at the front door
"Well for the lands sake, what

horseman finally refined in near the
porch and slid from his saddle.

"Oh, s'pose it might be worse, "

satisfaction, he grasped the porch rail

Amelia.

Amelia, and Dave started guiltily.

The Dreyfus Trial.

Paris, August 8.-The Journal to-day
says there are grave contradictions in
the evidence of General MERCER and
former President Casimir- Perier before
the court of cessation. 1t understands
that the counsel for Dreyfus is prepar-
pose when respective dispositions are
presented to the court martial to charge
either General Mercier or M. Casimir-
Perier with perjury under article 127 of
the military code. An arrest would then
occur instantly, while the accused was
still in the witness box.
Rennes, August S.-The Dreyfus
court-martial adjourned until to-mor-
row morning after a secret session of
five hours. A bigger crowd than on yes
terday assembled in the hope of obtain
ing a glimpse of Dreyfus during the ten
seconds occupied by him on the way
from prison.
Rennes, Aug. S.-The condition of
Dreyfus is disquieting. His wonderful
will power alone is lending him
strength to go through the present or
deal. Physically he is extremely weak.
His stomach refuses all solid food and
he Is only able to take milk The fam
lily is very anxious. A correspondent Of
the Associated Press learns the court
martial was able this morning to con-
slider only part Of the secret dossier.

FAST AND SLOW
A Steamer Captain Who Was Too
Rapid--Another Who Was
Too DilatoryD
SHEbLED BY The NApIDAN
General Lawton Had Washington Officer
Arrested Because His Men Did
Not Wish to Wade in the
Marshes

Manila, August S.The gunboat Nap
idan last week shelled Paete, on the
lake, near Santa Cruz. The town was
full of people, encouraged to return aft
er General Lawton's expedition having
been assured that they would not be
molested if they peaceably attended to
their business.
Lieutenant Copp, in command of the
Napidan, heard that the insurgents had
re- occupied the town. The steamer was
close in, and opened fire with 6-pound-
ers without warning. The people fled to
the hills, terrified. One child was killed
and many buildings damaged. The au-
thorities express regret on account of
the incident.
After the taking of Calamba by the
Americans General Lawton ordered
Captain Otis, of the Washington regi-
ment, to be relieved of his command
and placed under arrest on account of
his slowness and the seeming reluctance
of companies under his command in
obeying an order to disembark from
cascoes and wade through marshes un-
der fire. The men say the majority We're
sick and unfit for duty, and We're given
to understand they would not be asked
to do any more fighting.

ing cablegram has been received from

this evening. The Sherman, with the
Minnesotas, South Dakotas and dis
charged soldiers, goes to San Francisco

days good weather, leave with Mon
tanas and discharged men. 7 suggest
that a portion of the transports coal at
Nagasak both coming and returning
to expedite business here, where facl-

are primitive.

THE GOLDEN WEALTH OF C0CHITI'

No doubt is entertained that most Of
profitable producers provided adequate
reduction facilities We're conveniently
accessible. Manifestly then, the imper-
ative present need of the district is a
marie, for custom work. 1t is true that
the Cochiti Development and Reduction
Company is now building a 100-ton GUS
tom mill at Allerton, five miles below
Bland, where the company has secured
a supply Of water by means of a pipe
line from Cochiti creek. While this
plant will help, it will fall far short Of
meeting the demand.
THOUSAND-TON MILL NEEDED.
The question next arises, Where
should the big mill be located? Consid-
erng the great volume of water re-
quired and the comparatively limited
mines, the fact that the fine growing
timber in the district is needed for min
ing rather than fuel purposes, and the
absolute necessity of ample room to dis
the Rio Grande, fifteen miles down hill
from the mines in Pine and Cola can
ons, is the proper place for such
plant. There the supply of water is un-
power for the generation of electric en-
ergy for operating and lighting the
mines and mills; where an abundance
of cheap fuel is readily obtainable from
the nearby Madrid coal mines, and
where there is no lack of dumpage
ground. Clearly the present showing in
the district, with no greater depth
gained than 500 feet, would fully war;
10O0-ton cyanide mill, and I have no
color of doubt that the projectors of
such an enterprise would soon find it
to their ADVANTAGE to double their ca
the mines. Recalling that the cost of
mining and milling at the Albemarle
does not exceed 81 per ton, and esti-
mating that transportation charges
could not possibly be above 50 per ton,
the discriminating and thoughtful read
er will instantly perceive that the vast
bodies of Cochiti ores, which are shown
to average about SIS per ton, would
richly reward reduction at the proposed
plant on the Rio Grande.

Port au Prince, Hayti, August S.-The
revolutionary Dominican troops, which
assembled at Aunaminthe, have crossed
the frontier and taken possession of
Dajaban garrison at that place and re-

population and the Haytien consul left

that Jiminez, leader of the revolution,
will attempt to make landing on the
island shortly in order to join the revo-

rection of the movement. The Haytien
government Is taking measures to pre-
vent Jiminez landing.
