MAN A LESSON.

ATCHISON (Kan.,) Jan. 27.-IEx-
elusive Dispatch.1 e. w. Howe of the
Atchison Globe, author of "The Story
of a Country Town." commenting upon
Rev. Charles Sheldon's arrangement to
conduct the Topeka Capital one week
during March by way of showing news
paper men how to keep their papers
clean. entertaining and out Of the
Sheriff's hands, proposes to Mr.. Shell
don. in the columns of the Globe today,
that the pastor turn his pulpit over to
the editor during the week of the Capt.
tai experiment.
Among other things, Mr.. Howe says:
''Now. Sheldon's desire to publish a
newspaper for a week is evidence that
he does not believe a sufficient amount
of religion is injected into the columns
of the newspaper. Neither is there
enough common sense or, ability in the
average sermon. If we cared to make
out as much of a case against preach
ers as the Rev. Mr. Sheldon makes out
against newspapers, we would buy a
Bible and join the church."
Howe says the proper person to run
Sheldon's church while the minister is
running the newspaper is Gen. J. E.
Hudson. owner of the Capital, but that
II Gen. Hudson will not undertake this,
he is ready to go in as substitute.
IT Editor HoWe's proposals should be
accepted, he promises to preach nightly
on the tendencies and fallacies of the
average preacher. If Sheldon and his
flock refuse to make the experiment a
Joint one, Howe will print his daily SER
mon in one of the cosmopolitan Topeka

KNOWS GENERAL JOUBERT.
BELONGS TO A PROMINENT NEW
ORLEANS CREOLE FAMILY.

General Joubert commander Of the
Boer forces, is an American, and he is
known to w. S. De Van of Los Angeles.
AS a youth, he remembers the gen.
eral quite well. At that time Joubert
was a dashing young Southerner and
quite prominent in business and social
circles in New Orleans.
Speaking Of his acquaintance with
Gen. Joubert, Mr.. De Van said yester-
day: Gen. Joubetr came from a
wealthy Creole family, which, prior to
the war, held large interests in the
Baton Rouge sugar section. At the out
break of the rebellion he raised a regi-
ment. which was known as the Fifth
Luisiana cavalry, and fought through
the rebellion to the close. He served with
great distinction under Stonewall Jack
son and was favorite of that great
leader. When the war was ended he
declined to live in this country and
served under the khedive of Egypt,
where he remained several years. After
ward he went to the Transvaal, and
as Kruger's commander, is one Of the
worlds most prominent figures.
II did not know him, intimately, as
he was older than I, but I have known
his brother, Leon Joubert, who is a
banker in New Orleans, for many years.
The family stands very high in New

SYMPATHY FOR BoERs.
BIG MEETING IN MINNEAPOLIS.

MINNEAPOLIS (Mfnn.,) Jan. 28-A
pro-Boer mass meeting of citizens was
held at the Exposition building this
afternoon, which was attended by
about 1000 people, despite the fact that
'oIoZ MoIeq poolS L9l9MouI9u1 9ql
Frank Larrabee, a Minneapolis lawyer,
presided, and addresses were delivered
by Gov. John Lind, Mayor James Gray,
Rev. J. M. Cleary, pastor of st. Charles
Church and Judge William Prentice of
Chicago.
The most significant feature of the
occasion was the absence of Repub-
licans. During the past week. forty
two prominent citizens Of that political
faith were invited to act as chairman,
but declined. This, however, was not
from lack of sympathy with the cause
Of the Beers, but rather the fear that
the meeting would develop pronounced
anti-expansion sentiments. These fears.
however, as it proved, were groundless,
only in two or three instances reference
being made to the administration pol
icy in the Philippines.
Resolutions were adopted express
ing hearty sympathy with the Beers
of South Africa, denouncing the efforts
of Great Britain to annihilate their
republic and to crush the spirit of free
dom, commencing the manner in which
Dom Paul and his people have con-
Quoted the war, condemning the Brit
ish for the use of dumdum bullets and
lyddite shells, protesting against the
seizure of American flour and beseech-
ing the President of the United States
to act as mediator between the Beers
and the British to the end that the
end of the war may speedily be reached.

Victims Hacked to Pieces by Blood.
thirsty Natives of the Admiralty
Islands, Who Then Plunder
the Vessel.

VICTORIA (B. CD Jan. 26.-Details
have been received Of the killing Of
the captain and crew Of the schooner
Nikamarra on one Of the islands Of
the Admiralty group by the natives,
who are cannibals. It Is said that all
Of the victims were eaten.
The Nikamarra was owned by E. E..
Forsythe, and had left New Britain
early in October on her trading cruise
to the Admiralty Islands. On arrival
there she was boarded by a number
of the natives, with whom Capt. Dalthe
was unsuspectingly doing business,
when he was set upon by his treach-
erous customers and killed, his fate
being shared by the mate and six New
Ireland natives, all Of whom were cut
and hacked with knives and toma-
hawks. The natives then plundered
the vessel.
Nothing was known Of the killing
until some time afterward, when For
sythe arrived on the scene with his
other schooner, the Niagara. He was
accompanied by Messrs. Bullock and
Doudney, and they, too, were set upon
by the natives from ambush as the
white men rowed shoreward, using
the rifles taken from the Nikamarra.
Bullock was badly wounded with shot
through the thighs, but the boat party
regained the Niagara, which, with her
gas engine, reached open water.

Hi. Cement Was Too Good

When the Third Avenue Railroad in
New York City laid it's cable conduit
a considerable quantity of cement con-
crete was used on the underground
structure-then regarded as perma-
nent and time-defying work. Now it
is being transformed into an electric
conduit railway, and the needs of the
work require much Of the old concrete
to be removed. 1t is painfully Clipped
out with cold chisels, for it is the
hardest concrete ever seen in New
York. The singular part of the matter
is that no more cement of the kind orig
inally used can be found, the con-
tractor who supplied it having gone

MYSTIC TIE
OF BROTHERHOOD IS BROKEN
CHICAGOAN TOLD BY TELEPATHY
OF BROTHERS DEATH,

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-[Exclusive Dis
patch.] Telepathy brought sad tidings
to Frank Fay Pratt Monday night. 1t
told him Of the death of his twin
brother, Fred Roe Pratt, Manila, three
days before the confirmatory message
came to him over $4,000 miles of ca
BILE and land wires. Three days before
the telegraph boy handed Frank Pratt
the message of death, he knew as GER
tainly as though he looked at the face
Of his brother that the twinship had
been broken, and that the mystical
telepathic partnership which had ex-
listed since birth was dissolved for
ever.
When he first felt forewarned of
separation, Frank was resting calmly
in the home Of his parents, No. 1929
Prairie avenue. It came from he knew
not where. All that he could tell was
that his brother had died. Stopping
long enough to tell his parents of the
blow, he hurried out into the night,
and hour after hour walked the streets.
fevered with grief. The following day
he could not dispel the thought, and
on the third day came cablegram
from Manila, telling briefly that Fred
Pratt, who had been voyaging around
the world, was dead and that his body
was upon a. steamer bound for japan.
The similarity between the twin
brothers was so marked and striking
that ones first thought on seeing them
together was to doubt ones eyesight.
Not only in features and stature were
they counterparts, but in actions ex-
preston and general bearing also.

International authorities have clashed
over the quarantine declared by British
Columbia against Eastern Washington

the Spokane Falls and Northern has
been tied up at Northport CWash.), at
the boundary line. Canadian officials
insist that Americans fumigate the
mails. Americans insist that Canadi-
ans disinfect it. The mater was refer
red to Washington and the postmaster
general refuses to give orders to disin-
feet the mail on this side. The Cana
dams referred the matter to Ottawa
