COURT MARTIAL.

Already Been Held In the
TrnnsyaaI.

In the present Transvaal operations
drumbead court-martial has al
ready taken place, the prisoners be-
ing four Natal Dutchmen named
Oosthensen and Jansen, who were
weighed off," as Tommy Atkins calls
it, for disloyalty, and sentenced to five
years Imprisonment, and their time
will be put in at Pietermaritzburg.
though their dreams may be of Pre-
toria.
drumhead court-martial differs
from every other form of military
tribunal in the fact that il is not re-
stricted as to the hours OF sitting;
in ordinary courts between eight in
the morning and forr In the after
noon, the proceedings being carried
on at any time, provided it shall be
manifest that the case is one which
requires an immediate example.
During the Peninsular campaign
there were not few instances OF sem
fences being written upon an up
turned drum. in most cases for fog
ging, and in others for death.

HOW DUELING WAS STOPPED.
The Arrival of Man who Could
Shoot Made the Pastime
Unpopular.

Years ago in western frontier town,
says the New York Tribune, traveller,
tootsore and weary, arrived one after
noon and made his way down one
street of the burg. He was suddenly
startled by the sounds of shots and,
looking up, discovered four men shoot
ing at one another. The men were
standing at the four corners of an i'm
aginary square and each shooting at
the man catacorner to him. Being in
what he supposed a safe position, he
paused to watch the outcome of the
fray, when bullet, going wide of it's
intended mark, cut by his ear. That
aroused his wrath, and, drawing his
pistol, he dropped him. Another bull
let flying wide from it's mark, but near
to the stranger, caused him to lay out
one of the other pair. and the two re-
naming men sought safety in fight.
In that particular town duels had
been previously comparatively harm
less amusements. owing to the poor
craftsmanship of the opponents, but
the man who could shoot had arrived,
and the inhabitants, although they
turned out to greet him in body and
grant him the freedom of the city, did
so in manifest awe and trepidation
Whenever he told the story after
ward he used to wind up impressively
by saying: And, boys, in that town
after that they went around me as if
| had been a swamp"

THE PRESENT CENTURY.
1t Has Seen the Largest Number of
Great Men Ever Living
Mt One Time.

It is certain that there is no period
to rival tie first years of the nineteenth
century in it's number of great men, no
period even to compare with it except
the fifth century before the Christian
era. In the year 1921, the year in which
Napoleon died, the following were
alive: In literature, Byron, Shelley,
Keats, Coleridge, De Quincy, Words
worth, Lamb, Landor~Tennyson, the
three Brontes, Victor Hugo, Heine,
Goethe, Holmes, Dickens, Thackeray,
Clough and Blake. Among soldiers
were living the duke of Wellington, Ma
poleon and Moltke, besides a number of
Napoleonic wars or were to see the
Crimea and the Indian mutiny. Among
the philosophers and men of science
were Hegel, Darwin, the two Herschels,
Owen, Cuvier, Daguerre, Wheatstone,
Faraday and Simpson. The painters
included Wilkie, Landseer, Turner and
Meissonier. Medelssohn, Beethoven
and Wagner represented music, Les
seps, Brunei, the two Stephensons rep
resented engineering. Among states
men or orators were Gladstone, Bright.
Bismarck, Russell, Cavour, Garibaldi,
Abraham Lincoln, Theirs and Victor
Emmanuel. Among historians were
Grote, Niebuhr, Mommsen and Guizot;
and of countless host of men who
were famous in other directions were
Sir Richard Burton, Spoke, lie Verrier,

LODGE ARGUES FOR SHIPS.
Warns the senate TO Prepare to De-

fend the Monroe Doctrine.
Washington, May Ex-senator Lodge
addressing the senate in opposition To
armor plate plant and against any fur
Their delay in equipping the battleships
now ready for their armor. took the
same ground as Secretary Root, who
who in a recent speech said America
must prepare to defend the Monroe
doctrine or abandon it at the behest of
a foreign power. In the course OF his
speech Senator Lodge said:
My reasons for desiring more ships.
and desiring them quickly. is my be-
lief that the safety OF the United States
depends upon the strength Of our
navy. We do not need the navy for
the protection of our insular posses
sions. The danger lies in our own great
coast line and in the defense of the
Monroe doctrine in the hemisphere.
Our Atlantic coast is studded with
cities from the gulf to northern Maine.
For the defense Of this great coast line
and these cities we have no adequate
feet. We are about to enter upon the
construction OF an isthmian canal.
Whetherit will be better to fortify tha-
canal or not is yet an open question.
But to control that canal, to defend 1t,
+ to hold 1t open for our commerce and
for the commerce. OF the world, even
tho it be against an enemy's fleet, we
must be the naval masters OF the Car
ribean sea. We must have a far more
powerful fleet than we have today.
II hope and believe that we shall
have no war, but a great fleet is the
greatest insurance Of peace. However.
we would be foolish, indeed, IL we
should close our eyes to the possibilities
OF the situation. We could never allow
the Danish islands to pass into other
hands than ours. This European nation
which should undertake TO take posses
sion OF these islands right on the road
to the canal and mike them great
naval stations would by that very act
become All enemy OF ours. We could
submit to no such thing az that. The
Monroe doctrine is 9 great protection
to the United States. Men Of all parties
democrats. republicans and populists
without distinction, adhere to that.
II am by no means sure that some
European nation (perhaps one whose
navy Is now receiving such rapid In
crease may not test the Monroe doc
Urine. We may be called upon to pro-
tect that doctrine In Brazil or in some
other South American country. I am
not conjuring up fancles, but believe
the way to preserve peace - TO have
such q navy 40 no power In the world

New York, May 12,-James Jeffries is
still champion of the American ring.
He defeated James j. Corbett last
evening in the twenty third round of
AN exceedingly pretty fight. even If
there are suspicions that he might have
finished the eN-champion much earlier
in the game. The betting public was
not heavily interested in the fight. so
that the amount Of money which
changed hands on the result is not
large. But considerable money was lost
on the BET that Corbett would not stay
ten rounds.
So lar as fine sparring, clever side
stepping and generalship was con-
cerned, Corbett proved himself 10 be
still masterof those arts and without
rival in his class. But his blows often
lacked steanl,5 and the handicap of be-
ing nine Years older than the champion
told against him heavily. Jeffries was,s
punished, but it was the kind of pun
lshnent that wculd only enrage him
and bring him ba ok 10 the centersof the
ring more determined to fight than

AS for Gorbett, the pitcher has gone
