PRAY WHILE THEY FIGHT.
The Beers are Exemplary Men and
Coed SELLERS.

The Boer army is the most interesting
body of men have ever seen, saws
Peter MacQueen, in Leslie's Weekly,
There are two classes in 1.-THE old
Beers and the young Beers. The Beers
are essentially farmers, and long to get
home to their fraus and their children.
The young Beers are aspiring fellows,
and have lots of fight in them as we'll as
enterprise. They are afraid now that if
England wins they will con6scate their
farms, or make taxes SO heavy that it
will be impossible for them to live any
longer in the Transvaal. Many of the
young Beers tell that if England wins
they will turn their faces to America and
try life out on our western farms. They
would make fine Americans. They are
the cleanest, heartiest, most wholesouled
fellows one could anywhere meet. No
profanity, or gambling, or questionable
stories are ever known around the Boer
camp fires, and in fighting line, or on
the long trek, or in the barrack-room,
never heard complaint OF any kind
These men are forging on with great
destiny not far ahead
Night and morning in the laagers are
heard the voices OF psalms and hymns
One night heard 1000 voices thus
among the kopjes. 1t was more SOUL
thrilling than the "Marseillaise." They
have no idea of reprisals against their
English foes. or OF cruelty to the pris-
oners or wounded. Again and again
have seen them carefully attending the
English wounded on the battlefield and
chatting in friendly tones with their
prisoners. Altogether the Boer soldier
impresses me as man built on broad
and generous plan. He is religious, he
is conscientious. poor and pure and
brave. There is no bravado after VIC
tory, no whining after defeat. The
world has not heard the last of the Boer
as farmer soldier, and patriot.

HE NORTHERN PAC1F1c,s
DULUTH SHORT LINE"

By acquiring the old St. Paul & Du-
luth railroad the Northern Pacific OBJ
tanned possession of the shortest line
between St. Paul and Duluth. This road
is one of the best pieces of railway
property in the country. It runs through
the finest lake region of Minnesota and
the best potatoes and hay in the north
west come from along that line. White
Bear and Bald Eagle lakes are we'll
known lake resorts on this road, which
now forms part of the Lake Superior
division OF the Northern Pacific rail-
way. The Dalles of the St. Croix rive,
at Taylor's Falls are also noted for their
picturesque beauty and the region
about there is, geofogically, the most
interesting of its kind in the United
States. The old ST. Paul & Duluth rail-
road was particularly we'll known for. its
Lake Superior Limited train between
st. Paul and Minneapolis and Duluth
and the Superiors. This fast and Re-
Ginning Chair Car train is continued BY
tiie Nortnern racine railway, and is the
favorite train between the Twin Cities
and the Head of the Lakes, between
which there are three trains daily on the
Duluth Short Line" Those travelling
in the northwest between these
cities, or who contemplate MAX
ing the grand tour of the

excursions from Duluth or West Su-
perior, will find, the, Northern' Pacifc's

derstand that Jones is to take the stump
for the Nebraskan, and the combined
forces of Mclean and Jones can elect
him. If Jones and Mclean had been
working in harmony two years ago they
would have beaten McKinley's candi-
date for governor by $1,000. In New
York the German-Americans and Irish
Americans are unit for Bryan. In
Wisconsin there is heavy German
vote and Bryan stands an excellent
chance of carrying the state. In Min
nesota the fusionists have a splendid or

carrying the state for Bryan. The Re-

AT ST. ANTHoNY's CHURCH
Christmas Was Beautifully and Happi-
 Iy Celebrated.

At St Anthony's Church, Ensley, of which the Rev. Father Kennedy is rector the Christmas services, which were most beautiful and impressive, were largely at tended, the new and spacious church be- ing crowded at each mass.
 First mass was celebrated at o'clock Christmas morning, at the conclusion of which many persons united in the holy communion.
 At the second mass, at 10 o'clock the church was again very full At this mass a choir consisting of twenty-five girls, re- markedly well trained by Miss Mabel Nc Narmee, sang with touchingly bea dtiful effect a number of hymns, including that grand old hymn sung in every Catholic church in the world on Christmas day, "Adeste F'ideles.''
 St. Anthonys is the newest Catholic Church in the diocese of Mobile, it hav- ing been the last one dedicated and that less than a month ago, and Father Kenne- dy was very happy over the notable sue cess of St. Anthony's first celebration ol Christmas.

speers, shields and flags. The floor. was covered with native mats, except the center aisle, on which were spread rich Turkey rugs. At the end of the partment was the royal leopard skin, which not so long ago was death for any one to step upon. On reaching the throneroom we found most Of the great chiefs already seated. The front rows ta the left of the throne were set aside for the officers from the fort, who were in full uniform, the seats on the right being reserved for the missionaries.
 At the top of the aisle was the throne, gorgeous red and gold chair presented to M. wange by the East Africa Company and on this the litlie 4-year-old king Daudl was seated, wearing black coat embroidered with gold. To his right were the Roman Catholic and Protestant re- gents, and on the left the prime minister, all three wearing long gold-embroidefed robes and the signet rings and the medals given to them by Queen Victoria when the rebellion was suppressed. AS we ap- preached the Protestant regent, who is q church elder, introduced us formally to the king, and after lowing solemnly and re- ceiving a hearty handshake from the prime minister we were piloted to our seats. Al ter the reception the band played in the courtyard, and 1t made one quite homesick to hear "The Campbels Are Coming ad- mirably played as bagpipe solo,by Sikh musician. The feast which ollowed was a great unction. It was amazing how tie natives, absolutely unaided, gave us so ex- eellent an English dinner.
 The seats were properly arranged, each with the guests name inscribed on a card, and not only were there the requisite num- bers of knives, forks and spoons, but table napkins also. On ule conclusion of this ban quet a feast was given in the courtyards to the Baganda, who had assembled so the rime minlstsr declared, 10 the number of 15.oeo. and to supply these long files of cooks with baskets of food were passing in. Seven hundred and seventy-three large barkets ot cooked plantans, twenty-eight bullocks, and 12S goats and sheep were among the delicacies provided for this feast besides eggs and fowls. The European banquet, at which there were fifty guests, cost 26o0 ru- pees. To celetrateNthe occasion number of prisoners were released. l fancy the na- tive part of the feast was q great orgfe. On such occasions it is considered etiquette to send next day to say how ill you are through doing justice to the food. On the following day, the third anniversary of the Kings coronation, a public thanksgiving service, was held in the cathedral church of Mengo.

A CORONATION IN UGANDA.
An Up-to-Date Ceremony in Central
 Africa.

From the Manchester Guardian.
 Reuters agency has received communi- cation of an interesting letter just received from Uganda, giving details of the cere- monies in the capital in connection with the coronation and birthday celebrations of the young king. The writer says:
 few days before the anniversary of the little kings 4th birthday instructions were sent to the Europeans to be present at a reception, to- be followed by ban kings birthday. The food is supplied by the Baganda chiefs, the quality regulated by the wealth and standing of the donor Enormour quantities of plantains, cows, goats, etc, are collected in the capital, and after being cooked on the morning of the feast are carried by dependents to the kings hiblri, an enormous fenced inclosure with huge court yards, each with gate house and gatekeepers at the entrances. The scene on the morning of the kings birthday was a memorable one, the day being ushered in by the sounding of na- tive drums and the piping of native flutes.
 Everybody in his best clothes, including a crowd of mission and hospital boys in the cleanest white bufeta was soon vending his way towards the palace. At the great open space at the top of the hill the Siku band from the fort was performing. On reaching the palace we passed through the various courtyards until we came to the a very large native reedhouse decorated for the occasion with
