The Invasion of Cane Colon,

While the fate of the Ladysmith garri-
son hangs in the balance, attention is nat
urally turned to the serious situation
which confronts Sir Redvers Butler in
Cape Colony. We observe some foreign
criticism of Boer strategy in attempting
to attack or threaten a number of British
positions or lines at once; thus scattering
force. But We cannot see that this applies
to the movement from the Orange River

general would necessarily resort in a CAM

BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. Former Po-
lice Captain Charles Harrison Claiborne, OF
the Southern district died at 5:15 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon Of paralysis Of the
heart at his home, I'LL West Franklin
Street He complained Of feeling i'll early
in the day. but did not lose consciousness
until 15 minutes before he died. Two years
ago the captain was stricken with paralysis,
and since that time he had been unable to
use his left arm.
Captain Claiborne was born in this city
on July 81, 1S41, and was a lineal descend
ant of William Claiborne, the rebel one
of the first settlers OF Maryland.
He was a grandson of Commander Mat
thew Maury Claiborne, Of the United States
Navy, whose wife was the daughter Of
Gen. Charles Harrison, Of the Virginia line
in the Revolutionary War. His parents
died when he was young. He was edu-
Gated in the public schools and at a school
conducted by DR.. Emerson Lamb, Of Bal
timore county.
When nineteen years old he entered the
Confederate army, enlisting in the South
ern Volunteers. an organization formed in
Baltimore. AS member Of the volun-
teers he took part in the riot in this city
in 1860. caused by the removal Of the
United States flag from the staf extending
out frou a window Of the armory OF the
volunteers and the substituting therefor an
emblem OF, the Southern Confederacy.
Soon after the war had begun, young
Claiborne Joined the First South Carolina
Infantry, but afterward, in order to more
actively engage in the struggle, secured a
transfer to the Baltimore Light Infantry,

Hcredity and Religion.

Those persons who are loudly protesting

made with the Sultan OF Sulu, in allow
ing polygamy and slavery to exist for
the time being in his domain. probably
dream that in the near future all the peo-
pie of the Philippines will become CON-
verts TO some Christian faith. To the
impartial and experienced observer of
human affairs. such dream seems almost
too preposterous for the human mind TO
entertain. but there is doubtless a shady
idea of that kind in certain minds. and a
few reflections on the subject may not
be out of order.
In the first place, it should be consid-
cred that Mohammedanism is one of the
great religions of the world, and very
hard TO uproot. There are. of course. in
dividual cases of conversion to Christian
ity from the Moslem faith, but there is no
record that any Mohammedan people have
thus been converted, and not much reason
10 suppose that one ever will be. His
tory gives no precedent for anything of
the kind. Mohammedans have been held
in subjection by Christian nations for CEN
turies--they were in Spain-but they have
not turned Christian; nor have communi-
ties lcng settled in Christianity become
Mohammedan. There is a reason for such
facts. and ii is this: The faith of a natian
or of community, is not altogether de-
pendent on individual will-power He
redity has something to do with It, Here
and there may be an individual with

gard the opinions of all his friends and

A Church barrel Organ.
(From the London News.)

r. G. Edwards has unearthed a church barrel
organ, still in full working order, at Trotters-
clife. near Rochester. a church mentioned in
Domesday, and possibly dating back to Offa, King
OF Mercia. Barrel organs were in common use in
English churches sixty years ago, and itus likely
that the present machine, which Mr. Edwards
describes in the forthcoming issue of the s.Musi-
cal Times. is not quite unique. 1t has six
among them such archaic specimens as ssJob''
and 'old 1lth," and it is operated by the sexton.
