THE BOERS EXPENSIVE
RTTJI, FITS

One man who had been wounded at
place called stryfontein had curl
GUS mass Of wounds about the left
shoulder and neck. He was lying
down firing, and the Beers were ad-
yancing. A bullet struck rock close
to him. and the shoulder and neck
were absolutely riddled with larglsh
fragments. He says that the place
where the rock was struck was no
more than four to six inches away
form him. A number Of pieces OF rock
and lead were taken out. The shoulder
Joint escaped and no nerves were IN
iured: at least there Is no paralysis
This was evidently an expanding
bullet. for a comrade was hit by the
same Boer directly, the little finger be-
ing carried off, and then the ia"
smashed in way that could not have
been done by a Mauser. That the
Beers are using explosive bullets ana
expensive bullets largely Is certain.

unite number of such taken
from Boer bandoliers. including the

TURKEY THE TRIO Err.

Turkey troubles Europe all the time,
and now she Is troubling the United
States AS troubler she is big sue

less Turkey responds in a satisfactory
manner and at an early date to the
demands for the payment OF the tndem-

United States government will send an
ultimatum to the Sultan. The dlplo-
matte relations between the two coun-
tries are strained to the breaking point
and apparently all that is required to
bring about complete severance Is fur
Their delay on the part of the Sublime
Porte in complying with the requests OF
the State department. The State de-
partment has in the plainest diplomatic
terms said that this government regards
as unfriendly the policy Of the Sultan
in ignoring the claims. 1t Is believed
that this has been put so forcibly be-
fore the Turkish authorities that they
must realize that the next step in the
negotiations will be the transmittal oil
an ultimatum defining the time limit
within which this government will walt
for the payment of the indemnity.
There is apparently no room for ar
bitration of the claims. as the justice
of them has been formally recognized
by the Sultan. Minister Straus secured
from the Sublime Porte an admission to
this effect, together with a definite
promise to pay the indemnity amount
ing to about 100000. The promise was
made over a year ago, but since then
the Turkish authorities have constantly
postponed further action. The delay
finally became intolerable to the state
department.
Probably Turkey will pay up when
she has exasperated us to the last de-
gree. If she doesn't we can collect
what Is due.

RICHARD PECK.

1.-THE air Is full of farewells to the
dying and MORNINGS for the dead"
What fatal Spring this is, and how
many Of those who have been con-
spicuous and useful in New Haven
have recently gone to their reward.
This morning we are called upon to
record the death of Richard Peck, who
had for many years been familiar
figure in this community and who was
a citizen Of sterling worth. He had
lived long, active and valuable life.
Since 1871 he had been connected with
steamboating in this region, and during
that time he had seen and been influ-
entail in making great changes in
transportation by water. He was dill
gent and successful In his chosen work.
and he won the respect of all men by
his ability, integrity and general good
quality. He knew how to make friends
and keep them, and there are many in
all parts Of the country who will read
of his death with deep sadness. In
his death New Haven loses one of her
best citizens, and one who has had
large share in her growth and devel-
opment

Teaching ethics to school children by
an illustrated lecture is an idea of a
western minister, the Rev. Mr., Fair
child. and 1t was tested in a Boston
school the other day. Mr.. Fairchild
has given the subject four years of
study. but he has evolved only one
lecture so far. 1t is entitled Once
Upon a Time Two Boys Had a Fight"
and it is illustrated by stereopticon
views taken from life. For it's pre-
sentation in school solar camera is
used. The lecture and pictures depict
an actual street quarrel, showing when
a boy should not fight, and when he is
justified in doing so, as in self-defence
or in the protection of the weak. The
children thoroughly enjoyed it, of
course, and the teachers and supervi-
sors appreciated it, but the question of
the adoption of the plan has not been
decided. 1t has the approval of such
eminent educators as President Hall of
Clark University, Professor Baldwin
of Princeton, Professor Small of Chica-
go University, and Professor Ross of
Leland Stanford University.
Children can certainly learn from pic
lures After they have been taught
when to fight wouldn't it be good idea

illustrations the moving pictures of one

Galveston's boom is big one In
1896 the imports at Galveston were
worth but $3S7,347 and the exports but
$3.50, 1872 SS. The jetty built by the gov
eminent resulted in deepening of the
mort SO that vessels of a considerable
size can now get cargoes there. A
large part of the cotton crop began ac-
cordingly to seek the sea at Galveston.
The grain exports also grew. so that
this years outgo is estimated at 20,000-
900 bushels. The imports of 1899 were
worth $2,243, AGO. an increase of some 600
per cent. in four years, while exports
mounted up to $76,143,069, or over twice
MS much as In 1895.

A QUEER PLEA FOR HARMONY.

Some of the big Democrats are cast
ing about for some way to make har-
mony in their disrupted party. For in
stance, Ex-Governor Horace Boies of
Iowa pleads for some concession on the
silver question that will enable Demo-
Gratis who cannot agree to a radical and
permanent change of our money stand
ard from a gold to silver basis to sup
port the party and it's candidate, who,
he comedies, will be Mr. Bryan. Gov
ernor Boies does not ask for much, not
so much as will be required to satisfy
the minds Of most of the gold Demo-
Gratis. All he suggests, "in view of the
transcendent Importance of other issues
which have arisen since the meeting of
the last national Democratic conven-
tion," Ia an assurance that in case Of a
change in the money standard from a
gold basis to practically single silver
basis 1t shall not apply to contracts
made before such change occurs. If
any approach to harmony can be Sc
cured on the basis of Sc slight con-
cession he holds that it would be folly
on the part Of Mr.. Bryan's friends not
to make 1t.
So it would. Tt would also be folly
for gold Democrats to so into any such
deal. Indeed, it would be worse than
folly. 1t would be weak abandonment
Of the principle that made them gold
Democrats.

THE WORLDS COPPER SUPPLY.

The dominating position taken by the
United states among the contributors
to the worlds supply of copper mas al
ready been commented on. The i'm
mense activity of the Americans, added
ia the initiation by them of scale OF
operations hitherto unprecedented In the
history of mining. But, ii the lncreas-
ing demand for copper continues. pres
ent sources of supply will soon be insult
fjcient. unless production at the big
mines can be still further stimulated.
It is doubtful, however, whether the
production Of mines like the Anaconda
and Rio Tinto can be very largely IN
creased. And there Is another side to
the question, that must not be lost sight
of-the more rapidly an ore deposit is
exploited the sooner it will be exhaust
ed. 1t is true that there are immense
reserves of copper ore at Lake Superior
assuming that the beds can be proflta-
bly, worked down to vertical depth OF
six 10 seven thousand feet; but II seems
likely that even this source OF supply
will fail to cope with the increased de-
mands of the early part of the next
century, and three or four decades Will
probably see 1t exhausted. We are
bound to assume, therefore, that unless
new and abundant sources for the met
al are opened up in the early part OF the
next century, or some substitute Is
found for it in the electrical industry,
there Is no prospect of copper being
over produced Magazine

President Eliot of Harvard, told this
story at the recent Cornell Club dinner:
"a friend of mine, a college professor,
went into crowded restaurant in New
York city for luncheon one hot day last
summer The man in charge of the big
corridor where the hat shelves stood
was an intelligent looking fellow, and
his bow and smile were not of the obse-
quious, stupid kind so often affected by
Colored walters and doormen In hotels.
He took my friends hat and gave no
check for 1t in return. An hour later,
when the professor came out of the
dining room, the colored man glanced
at him I'm comprehensive way, turned
to the shelves and handed him his hat.
MY friend is man who prides himself
on his power Of observation, and the
mans ability to remember to whom
each article of clothing belonged struck
him as being something very wonder
full. How did you know this was my
hat?' he asked. I didn't know it, sab,
was the reply. Then, why did you
give it to me?' the professor persisted.
Because you gave it to me, sah.'"

The Neue Freie Press of Vienna gives,
on the authority Of what it describes as
Russian official data, some particulars
concerning the Persian brigade of Cos
sacks. 1t recalls the circumstance that
in 1896, after the murder of the late
Shah order was maintained at Teheran
by the intervention of the Cossack brig
ade, which also prevented all resistance
to the succession of his son Muzaffer-
ed-Din. At that time the brigade con-
sisted only of cavalry division mus
tering five hundred men, commanded
by Russian colonel, and of a mounted
battery presented by the Gar Alexan-
der III. In the year 1899 the strength
of the brigade was trebled At present
II numbers two hundred officers and fif-
teen hundred men, infantry, besides
cavalry and mounted artillery. Its or
eanization is completely Independent,
and is under the control of Russian In
structing officers, who are at the orders
of the Russian legation at Teheran
Their chief is a colonel of the Russian
general staff, holding the rank or
Persian field-marshal. The annual cost
of the brigade is 100000 rubles. 1t re-
ceives with great regularity it's monthly
nay. which Is the more worthy OF note
\as that of the other Persian troops is
