II we take little leaf out Of the

The professor further states that the
third son may be. an eminent person,
but that fourth, fifth or sixth child
will never be shining light. How
ever, for the consolation Of the young
est sons in large families, it is further
stated that after the sixth child the

Eels Az water-purit,er,.

Few people would be gratifed II they
should find an eel in their rain-water
cistern, and probably the last conclu-
sion come to would be that the water
was thereby improved. Yet, according
to Prof. Sobrero of Turin, this would
be the case. The professor has recent
ly suggested that eels should be used as
purifiers of water. All one has to do
in order to keep the water in the cis-

4 MESSA TO KRUGER.
Sent in Charge of Messenger Boy by
 Philadelphia school Boys.

Philadelphia April 9.-One of the greatest demonstrations of sympathy ever shown here for any foreign nation took place tonight, when the Academy of Music was jammed with people who assembled to take part in the Philadel- phia sehool-boys' pro-Boer rally. The primary object of the gathering was to send message of greeting to President Kruger signed by 22,O0O pupils of the schools of this city. So great was the crush that many thousands were unable to get near the doors.
 After the speech making was over, James F. Smith, a sixteen-yearold mes Eenger boy of the American District Telegraph company of New York was called to the stage by means of the regulation call box, and was given the message signed by the school-boys with instructions to proceed to Pretoria and to hand it personally to President Kruger. The messenger, accompanied by a committee of three high school boys, left for New York tonight and tomorrow they will be rendered re- ception at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel by the students of the public schools of Greater New York. On Wednesday the messenger will sail on the steam ship St. Louis and before the vessel reaches Southampton he will be taken off by a French tender and landed at Havre, France, in order to avoid Eng fish territory. The message to Kruger ia aa follows:
 We, the undersigned students of the public schools of Philadelphia, the city where our own forefathers enlisted m their splendid and successful struggle against English oppression, desire to ex- press to you and to the fighting men of the South African republic their great admiration for the genius and courage that has checked English in- vasion of the Transvaal; and the un- dersigned extend their most earnest wishes that in the end the South Afri- can republic will triumph over Eng land in war in which the Boer cause is noble, the English cause unjust.' Delegations of school-boys from New York and Boston attended the meeting

QUEEN AGAIN ROYILLY GREETED.
 Great Enthusiasm shown During n Drive ThrOngh DnbIIn Streets.

Dublin, April 9.-Queen Victoria tool her usual drive in the vice-rega grounds this morning and paid hel
 promised visit to the city this afternoon l leaving Phoenix Park about 4 o'clock
 Large crowds of people witnessed hel
 majesty's departure and the route fol l lowed was thronged. An escort of the Household cavalry lent picturesqueness to the royal procession. The stores and houses in the main thoroughfares were plentifully decorated with flags apd bunting, and her majesty was received with very great enthusiasm throughout her drive. The weather was splendid and the brilliant sunshine and ,vari-col- ored decorations gave the city quite a carnival appearance.
 Thousands of people gathered from early morning and lined the route thicl1ly. The throngs about O'Connell street, Sackville street and College Green were enormous. Sackville street presented particularly striking spec tacle. Handsome Venetian masts in the center of the imposing thoroughfare divided it into two avenues, and the royal procession passed under an almost unbroken canopy of leviathan flags, gorgeous banners and vari-colored fes- toons of flowers and evergreens. The windows roofs and all vantage points were occupied by cheering, singing crowds, waving flags and handker- chiefs.
 Her majesty drove slowly along the route, necessarily lowing and smiling her acknowledgements of the plaudits, Not even on the occasion of the state entry into Dublin was the scene more impressive or more significant than to- day,
 The scene about College Green, where the Bank of Ireland, Trinity college and the public statues were gaily bedecked, was specially interesting, as that van tage point had been selected not only by the collegiates, but by thousands of The crowds were so dense that they almost touched the carriage wheels, yet there was an almost total absence of constabulary. In spite of this there was not the slightest sign of a disturb ance of any kind Miles of futtering handkerchiefs greeted the queens ap- pearance there and marked her course Harcourt street, the south cir cuar road and across the bridges to the Phoenix monument and the vice-regal lodge, which was reached at 5:30 o'clock D. m.

TN FOR 4 WINTER CAMPAIGN. London View of War rSituntiOn- Kitch-
 emer,s lmportant Duly.

London, April 10 a. m.-Britons are now beginning, though reluctantly to realize that Lord Roberts is in for a winter campaign, lasting several months. This is the end, in a few words, of the high hopes based upon Lord Roberts brilliant dash to Kimber- ley and Bloemfontein. Preparations are being made to hold Bloemfontein against surprises. Lord Kitchener has bene given an important duty, being responsible for the protection of the railway, while Lord Roberts is waiting for remounts and winter clothing for the troops, whose thin cotton khaki uniforms and boots are worn out.
 General Brabant and General Gatacre are both at standstill Lord Roberts will probably for some time confine his operations to clearing the Free State behind him of raiders and to relieve Mafeking for which purpose apparently the Eighth division, now arriving at Cape Town has been ordered to Kim berley.
 Lady Sarah Wilson and other Mafe- king correspondents, send diaries of the doings there, showing that the Boers have tried, before abandoning their trenches, to lure the besieged out into a mined ambush. Fortunately the British engineers discovered the mine, cut the wire communication and unearthed 250 pounds of dynamite and war gelatine.
 What the chances are for an advance to Pretoria may be judged from the fact that only from six to ten thousand horses are on their way to the Cape and from the further fact that the mili- tary tailoring departments only within the last three weeks began making woolen khaki uniforms. It is said it will take at least two months to pro- vide 100000 uniforms
 MT. Steyns address to the Free State Raad at Kroonstad ia confirmed. The Fischer Wolmarans deputation has full power to negotiate for peace, subject to the Raad'a sanction.
 Lady Roberts will remain at Cape Town. The Duke of Westminster, the Duke of Marlborough and Lord Henry Cavendish Bentinck have gone to the front.

CANDIDATE FOR YICE PRESIDENT. Charles A. Tovne Wishes to be Bryan's
 Running Mate.

Minneapolis Minn., April 9.--The Journal says: Former Congressman Charles A. Towne of Duluth, is a can didate for the democratic nomination for vice president. Judge Caldwell of the United States circuit court has de- clined to permit the use of his name in that connection, and Towne's candidacy is predicted on the judges declination. The demand for Towne's nomination is said to come from the gold democratic and republican anti-imperialists of New England. It is asserted that Bryan would be glad to have Towne for run ming mate. Senator Pettigrew is another supporter. His programme is to have the national populist conven- ton at Sioux Falls, s. D., May 9, ad- journ without nominating, leaving the matter to a committee which would later on endorse the democratic ticket named at Kansas City. If this proves impossible he will push for the nom- ination of Bryan and Towne at Sioux Falls.

THE PLANT WILL CONTEST
DECISION ON MRS. PLANTS 1PPLI-
 CATION RESERVED.
Action of Justice Freedman of the New York Supreme Court Yesterday-The Application is for the Removal of the Trial of the Sult-Third CodicH of the VIII Attacked.

New York, April 9.--Justice Freed served his decision upon the application of Mrs. Margaret Plant, widow of the late railroad and steamboat magnate, for the removal of the suit contesting the validity of the will of her husband from the equity to the trial part of the court. Mrs. Plant wishes the case to be heard before jury.
 It is the third codicil to the will of MT Plant that is attacked by his wid ow. This condicl was executed in Connecticut, and by it's terms MT. Plant tied up his estate by the creation of a long term trust In the codicil the resi- due of the estate is bedueathed to the eldest son of the son of Mortimer F. Plant.
 The eldest son of the son of Mortimer F. Plant is now but six years of age. In other words the Plant millions are bequeathed to a great grandson, who is not to receive the property until such a time when his youngest brother or sister shall have reached his or her majority. This ties the estate up for more than two lives in being, which, under the laws of this state is prohib- ited. Mrs. Plant and her son Morti- mer, who has joined her in the suit over the estate. assert that New York was MT Plants legal residence and that the will should be probated in this state and not in Connecticut.

CHARGES AGAINsT PREsBYTERr.
General Assembly satd to be Domin ed
 by system of Bossism.

Chicago, April 9.--Charges that the
 Presbyterian general assembly was
 dominated by a system of bossism and one man power worse than any politi- cal machine, and that that great relig- ious body was afflicted with packed committees were made to-day at an adjourned meeting of the Chicago Presbytery. The question came up during the consideration of an overture received from the Peoria Presbytery recommending that the standing com- mittees of the general assembly in the future be elected by the delegates in stead of being appointed by the moder ator, and after an animated discussion the recommendation that the proposi- ton be endorsed and sent to the general assembly was adopted by two-third's S vote.
 Revs. M. J. Johnson speaking in fa- vor Of the proposition said: we are suffering to-day from the rules of species of bossism which has grown up in the church and which was proved detrimental. This policy has nearly ruined the church in certain quarters and cannot be too strongly criticised. At the last general assembly com- mittee was appointed to consider the case of Dr. McGiffert. We know that the committee was packed and each was named to perform a cer- tain duty which was known to all in advance. This system of one man power by which the Presbyterian church is being controlled at present is really worse than the dictation of any political machine I ever saw"
 Other members speaking on the sub- ject said that much of the petty jeal- ousy and sectional dissension in the church could be traced to the domina- tion of bosses and the injection of poli- tics into the conduct of the affairs of the general assembly.
