SHELDON'S SUCCESS.
He Has an Elephant on His Hands,
But Will Be Able to rlanage 1t.

Rev. Mr.. Sheldon is to have a far
greater success than he anticipated in
running the Topeka daily, as "Jesus
would have him." Its publication is
to begin with March 18th, and already
subscriptions nave run up to overl0O, 900,
and London, England, wants an edi-
tion. Topeka is unable to handle the
large list, and arrangements have been
made to have the paper edited in
Topeka, but printed in Chicago. The
following dispatch from Topeka, shows
the phenomenal success that will attend
the enterprise:
"TOPEKA, Kan, March f.-At the
close of business of the Capital count
ing room last night the subscription for
the Sheldon's edition, beginning with
the issue of March 13, passed the 100,-
600 mark, with bushel basket full of
letters unopened.
Today an express car hauled to the
Capital office load of letters which will
require the services of a dozen extra
clerks tomorrow morning to open and
put on the mailing list.
1t is thought the rush has only COM
menced. The unique venture, in busi-
ness way, is surprising the fondest
dreams of the originators, and to handle
it the Capital needs the facilities of the
largest metropolitan daily newspaper in
the United States.
Subscriptions are coming from every
civilized quarter of the globe. The
Topeka Postoffice is already clogged,
and Postmaster Guthrie has telegraph.
ed to Washington twice for additional
help.

HUMACAO, Porto Rico,
Feb. 3, 1900.
Uncle French:-I have not had ty-
phoid fever, but chills and fever
like everybody has here. You only
have it three or four days at a time.
There has been only one death in
the past year and that was boy in the
11th Infantry and then those two boys
who were killed in the cyclone. This
is considered one of the healthiest towns
on the island. We are going to leave
here about next week for San Juan, the
Capital. The 11th Infantry is there,
and we will be the only troop of cav
airy. San Juan is about so miles from
here. | think we can make it in about
two days, which will be making pref
ty good time. The first 25 miles will
be bad roads, but after that we will
strike the military road, which is a
fine road We can trot the most of
the way and when l get there I will
send some relics home. l suppose that
sugar making has begun by this time.
/ think we will leave here about the
last of May for the States. They say
it is too expensive to keep cavalry here,
and are bringing the cavalry from the
inl and towns and putting them in the
coast towns, so that looks like we will
leave here before long. You asked
when the rainy season was. was
talking with an old planter the other
day and he said the dry season begins
about the 1st of November and lasts
until 1st of March. He said those were
the coolest months. l can give you an
idea of how much it rains. When we
were up at the barracks the storm blew
down, we had four coal oil barrels
sitting under the caves and they
kept us supplied with water to wash in
all of the time. The nights are cooler
now than they were in July and Aug
ust. l only know of four Americans in
circle of 20 miles around here, and
they are school teachers. They have
nothing here but sugar plantations, but
there is not very much cane planted
either. Most of the land is in grass.
They have lots of fine cattle here. In
the last few years the people let their
cane mills run down and began raising
cattle. They have no sheep and but
few hogs, which they lead around like
dogs, and tie them out in the fields.
All the coffee they raise grows on the
mountains. There are some tall ones
here. The island is all cut up with
mountains. Marmon Valley looks
something like this. You can see a
big valley, then a range of big hills,
and then a valley. l don't think this
country will ever amount to anything,
as there are so many poor people here.
| The place is over-crowded and all the
| iails are full, as these people steal any
thing they get their hands on, and are
| Just low set of negroes. They are
getting lots of work out of the prison
ers by making them work on the roads.
Well this is all for this time as it is get
ting late, so goodbye. Address

ditcuing over here.

Britain has no more loyal subjects and
no better soldiers, than her colonists-
the Canadians, Australians, New Zea-

have had no more complete refutation.
