New York. Dee.l0. III you have right
20 kill man. surely you have right 10
burn his home and scatter his family. 1t
is hard on the women and children. but
the end justihes the means and you can
not be too particular"
SO says Winston Spencer Churchill,
sINcturer, War Correspondent. Veteran
OF -Four Wars and the Youngest Member
OF the British ParIiament'--that is how
urday on the cunarder Lucania from
Liverpool. Mr.. Churchill is the latest
'1ion" captured by Major ]. y. Pond. He
begins lecturing here next Wednesday on
Boer war topics
Young Churchill is very beyish, not
more than twenty-six years old, appar-
emily. He has the smooth skin and the
ruddy face OF the Briton. He talks, of
course, with what is called the English
accent" He has light blue eyes and foot
ball hair.
During the Cuban war Mr. Churchill
went 10 Havana and saw some OF the
signting there. He compares the Boer sit
uation now with that which existed at
that time i'm Cuba.
with this difference" he added that
the Spanish officers got thoroughly tired
at the work. They got into a rut. What
lighting they did was wholly perfunctory.
THE REcoNcENTRADo POLICY.
"In south Africa we are not going TO
make that mistake. We are fighting hard,
shooting, chasing and never letting the
enemy get any rest We arc carrying out
10 certain extent the reconcentrado
policy, with this difference, that while
the Spaniards let the reconcentrados
starve, we feed them.
1T is absolutely necessary 10 move tho
civil population from the area OF ighting.
The Beers have no uniforms except those
which they have taken from the British.
You cannot tell the fighters from the nom
combatants If a burgher takes an oath
that ne will not fight any more against
the British. the next day along comes
Bocr commando and a field cornet-whois
lAe, ,coroner-and says 10 him: 'Ah. you've
taken sts oath, have your Well. yor'll
either break 1t or be shot right now.

To Close the Printers, Farm.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-At yester-
days meeting of the board of delegates
of Typographical Union No. it was
decided to close the farm for aged and
unemployed printers which the union
has been supporting for the past three
years at Bound Brook, N. j. The farm,
according to John A. Hawkins, chair
man of the committee that managed it,
was great success, and the vote to
close it was the result of the hostility
between the unions two factions, which
are known as the administration and
antiadministration parties. The board
Of delegates is composed OF about 500
members, and the ''antis" when the mo-
tion to close the farm was voted upon
controlled more than two-thirds of the
votes cast.

| Editor News Item,
Dear Sir: am quite sure that
many of your readers will be inter-
ested in new word from "The Bible
NAM.
i have just returned from tour of
six months in four counties, Brad
ford, Sullivan, Lycoming and Sus-
quehanna-having travelled 1881
with horse and carriage, making
BAG calls at the homes and business
places of the people, distributeing
2465 vOlums of the Scriptures-22
OF by sale and 274 by gift, supplying
1873 destitute families and $50 indi-
viduals who were not personal own
ers of a Bible or Testament. 1t was
our privilege, also to visit many of
the churches of the different denom-
nations and to deliver 104 sermons
and addresses in the interest of the
work of the Bible Society. The
pastors and friends Of the Bible gave
us a welcome and encouragement
almost without exception. We
found greater demand lor the
Scriptures and distributed more vol
ums than ever before in a half year.
In three years and half we have
travelled 1907 miles, while engaged
in this home missionary work, dis
tributed 8, JAP volums of the script
ures, supplied 52G destitute families
and 1857 individuals and delivered
56G sermons and addresses.
