The Anti-Addicl1s Convention.-The

/
anti-Addicks Republicans of Delaware are
holding their State Convention az Viii
mington today The indications seem to
favor the nomination of State Treasurer [.
HeisIer Ball Of Wilmington. for Governor.
DR.. Ball is the man who the determined
Addicks declared some time ago would not
be endorsed by the Union Republicans, or
Addicks crowd, for any Office For Con-
gresham several names are being consid-
cred. among the most prominent being DR..
Burton and DR.. Marshall, the latter the
AddiCks nominee for Governor. It would
BE funny if DR.. Marshall Should be a can
didate for two offices at the same time 1t
appears to be settled that the gas mans
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, the
Hon, John Dunn, and also his candidate
for Attorney General. the Hon. Herbert H.
Ward, viii be endorsed by the convention
today. Sussex county it is thought, viii
get both the Auditor Of Accounts and the
Insurance Commissioner. The Hon. Cor
neIius P. Swain is being energetically
doomed for both of these Offices and may
land one of the nominations 1t is consid-
cred probable that the convention will
nominate the Hon. Martin B. Burris for
State Treasurer Though an anti-Addicks
man. Burris vas nominated for this office
by the gas man. Altogether the prospects
seem to favor compromise ticket, which
appears plainly to indicate that Addicks,
with the aid of the Standard Oil Company
and the Administration at Washington,
has at last captured the Republican party

make sure that her eyes had not deceived
her and rushed back into the tent.
"Piet," she cried, "the rooineks are on
the hill"
To which the gallant general replied:
Nonsense, woman. Your eyes are full of
sand" and he turned over for another
40 winks.
But Nine. Joubert reused her reluctant
spouse and forced him out of doors to
see for himself. There were the British
General Joubert called his men togeth-
er, and the battle resulted in a loss of
300 to the British, while of Joubert's sol
diers only few were wounded.
During the Magatoland campaign an
artillery, burgher and native force Of
nearly 10000 men was dispatched to the
front to subdue the fighting leader,
MPefu, who was intrenched in n series
of rocky businesses at the extreme north
of the Transvaal.
In the face of fever and an intense
heat Of 100 degrees in the shade plucky
Mrs. Joubert Joined the general a week
or two after his arrival at the Hoofd
lager. She had Travelled many miles over
desolate country with only couple of
katiir maids as companions.
Finding the general improperly housed,
she routed him out, pitched a tent of her
own and installed him in the midst Of
all the comforts of home. Besides that
she looked to his mess arrangements and
ended by herself cooking his meals. 1t
was no unusual sight to see the COM
mandant generals wife peeling potatoes
any day during that campaign.
General Joubert never kept the plans
of his campaign from Mrs. Joubert.
From the time Of her arrival in camp all
his military schemes were discussed at
her dinner table. 1t is not too much to
say that he held her sound advice and
almost unequaled knowledge Of Kafir
warfare in high esteem.
Although Mrs. Joubert is such a famil-
lar figure among the defenders of her
country, she is by no means masculine
either in appearance or manner. On the
contrary, she is very womanly. Unlike
her sisters of the BOer states, she is slim
and tall. She is wonderfully active for
her sixty and more years. She does not
hesitate to undertake the most arduous
duties and can accomplish as much hard
work in couple of hours as her town
bred female descendants can in week.
Like the late general, Mrs. Joubert has
always been alert to education and has
grasped every opportunity for improving
herself. She speaks French and English
almost as well as her native Dutch
That she is very kind hearted and chart
table is the opinion of every man and
woman who knows anything of the ten
derness which she has displayed in her
many letters to the wives and mothers Of
