General De Vets renewed efforts has brought once again, and more for cibly than ever, the prediction that was made by Dom Paul before the war started. It has been a costly war for England in money and in lives, and it is not finished yet. When President Kruger, at the incep- ton of the Boer war predicted that if England conquered in the struggle, it would be at a price that would "stagger humanity" probably very few even of his sympathizers gave much credence to his prophecy. Since Sir Michael Hicks4Beach's recent speech in the house of commons, how ever, it would seem that there was, after all, more truth than poetry in the vigorous statement of Dom Paul. Had anyone predicted two years ago that,as the direct outcome of the South African imbroglio, England would in- augurate the 20th century by aban- doing her traditional consecrated com mercial policy of free trade, the asser- ton would have been laughed at the world over; and yet the prediction would have been perfectly accurate. At the very least, the English portion of humanity has been staggered by MT Chamberlain's little war;

Lord Strathcona Who Was Made a
 Baron by Victoria.
Considered by Many ths Most Distin. gutshed Citizen of British xmer- ica--His Unexoe1Ied Record
 as Q Philanthropist.

One of the distinguished visitors who will be in attendance at- the great r. M. c. A. jubilee in Boston in June, and who will give one of the addresses, is Lord Strathcona, high commissioner for Canada, and one of the most eminent men in that coun- try. A man of large wealth and gen. erous heart, his benefactions have been so many and they have given evidence of such broadness of spirit that he has been likened to the American George Peabody. Lord Strathcona was born in Scotland in the year 1920, and before he became Lord Strathcona he was plain Don aid Smith. He went to Canada when he was mere boy, and he was Is when he became a junior clerk in the office of the Hudson Bay company. To the active outdoor life and the honest toll that wer, his daily por- tion during many years of his service in the Hudson Bay company he at tributes the physical vigor and men tai alertness that are his at the age of s1. Step by step he rose in the service and in the esteem of the great Hudson Bay company until he became one of it's most important factors.
 He has been member of the house of commons, and he did not re- tire from political life until his seventy-6fth year, when he was ap- pointed high commissioners for Can ada. His services to his native and to his adopted country had been so valuable that in 1886 the queen con ferred upon Dona.d Smith the order of knighthood, and in the next year he was still further honored by her majesty, who made him Baron Strath- coma and Mount Rayol, of Glencoe in Argyll, and of Montreal in Canada.
 Of Lord Strathcona's philanthropy it may be said that on one occasion

old Man Saved His Money.

K An old negro died suddenly in Richmond, Va, recently. It was thought he was in poverty little short of what might be termed abject. He had for years been subsisting in the barest way on an income derived from picking the feathers off fowls for market. For picking chicken he would receive two cents; for duck or turkey, five cents. After the negro was dead the people with whom he lived went through his possessions to learn the value of his property. There were found in his old trunk $500 in money and certificates of bank deposits aggregating $1,ooo. The ne- gro left fortune of s1,3o0 in money, and as far as is known all of it was made by picking feathers from fowls for the table of the white man.

 It is remarkable how many cases of children there are, of men and women with means. too, who foresake their parents in their old age, turn them out as it were, and let them get a living as best they can Many times it goes on and the world knows nothing about it, until some inquiry judge or city or town official inquiries into the case, IS one did in Philadelphia some time ago. "The neat appearance and refined manners of an old lady who dragged herself before judge in Phil adelphia last month to request a com mitment to the poorhouse caused him to ask more searching questions than is usual in such cases. Learning that she had a large number of children living in the city, the judge told the old lady to rest while in his private ofice,. and then sent special officers to search for the undutiful children. Tn due time four creatures of the male sex stood before the indignant official, who made them this neat speech: It is ordered that each of you shall contri- bute $1.50 week toward your moth CTS support, and your brothers and sisters must contribute enough to make the total amount $1O a week. will hold each of you in $500 bail to guar antee the payment of the entire $10 a week; and if there is any default, will send the whole lot of you to jail for 90 days After some delay bonds men were found, and the old lady left the court wirh her, first weeks allow ance in her pocket"

of the queens jubilee in 1887 he, with Lord Mount Stephen, gave million dollars for the building and endow- ment of the Royal Victoria hospital, and second large sum was given for its maintenance. To McGill universi- ty, a Canadian institution of which Lord Strathcona is chancellor, he has given many thousands of dollars, and he has given further proof of his ir- terest in higher education by erect ing and endowing the Royal Victoria college for women. He has been a most generous patron of art and he has endowed Canadian scholarship in the Royal college of music in Lon don. His heart and his purse have ever been open to the poor, and his private benefactions have been many; and unstinted. But the act of splen- did munifcence that has given him an enduring place in tke hearts of his countrymen was that patriotic deed by which he again testified his loyalty to his queen and her empire. This act was the raising of the regi- ment of the Strathcona horse and sending to the support of the queen mothers arms in South Africa com pany which he saw was needed to meet the Boers on their own ground. When the Strathcona horse visited England on their return from the war the snowy-haired old man was the hero of the day.
 He is known as Canada's "Grand Old Man." and as such he will be given royal welcome when he faces the mighty audience that will be sure to meet hin in Boston on the occasion of his address at the Y. NJ. | c. A. jubilee meeting in June.

DISASTER AT NAVY YARD.
Transport Capsizes and Dock Sinks
With Resultant Loss
Of Life.

New York, June 14.-While the Uni
ted States transport ingalls, was in the
drydocks at the Erie basin this after
noon. where she was about TO undergo
extensive repairs, she suddenly slipped
from the blocks and capsized.
One man is known to have been kill
ed and many injured. There were about
240 carpenters, macbinists and other
laborers there at work on the vessel
and dock at the time Ii is supposed
the vessel was thrown from an even
Keel by ballast improperly placed, or
by the shifting of the blocks on which
she rested
Besides the mechanics and other
workmen who crowded the vessel and
dock preparing her for the voyage 10
Manila. there are supposed to have
been about 80 Italian laborers in the
mold or the ship employed in shifting
pig iron ballast,
While the workmel were trying to
escape, the dock itself, overbalanced by
the weight OF the ship, turned on its
side and sank in so feet OF water. a
number of men borne down into
the water were damned under the
Wreckage which rose TO the surface
How many were caught could not be
learned tonight.
Martin Anderson. a painter. was
caught under the descending side OF
the ship and killed outright. Others
We're dragged out OF the water badly in
jared or half drowned and hurried to
the hospitals Added to the horror was
the uncertainty OF the fate OF the men
In the vessels hold
Some managed to get to the dock and
leaped into the water as the vessel
was sinking, but il is feared that ma
jority were less fortunate.
1t is impossible tonight to estimate
The amount Of damage the disaster en-
tailed.

Hartman Syndicate Said to Have
Perfected Plan to Take
Over Ko8d.

Chicago. June 15.-The Tribune to-
morrow will say:
e. H. Hartman was the directing
figure in two movements begun yes
terday which Is expected to affect every
railroad running west of Chicago and
St Paul. What was held to be the
first step toward composite agree
ment between the great roads running
west of these cities was perfected at a
conference held here between Harri-
man and the officials OF the companies
concerned.
by it's terms an iroclad agreement
to end rate wars and other complica-
tions is expected to be spread over all
the roads in the northern group, in
Guiding the Northern Pacific, Burling-
ton st. Paul, Union Pacific, Northwest
ern, Great Northern lines and the San
ia Fee. They will operate hand in hand
with the Southern Pacific. 1t will be a
community of interests plan, and pro-
vides that the Pacific Mail and Occi-
dental steamship lines, controlled by
the Southern Pacific, shall take care
OF the Santa Fe's trans-Pacific busi-
ness.
The other move directed by Harri-
man was practical provision for the
transfer Of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul to the Hartman syndicate and
the turning OF this line into line of
the Union Pacific system. This plan
was arranged at secret conference
held at the Auditorium annex and was
attended by many railway men and a
number OF bankers.
Little doubt is entertained that the
syndicate has acquired control of the
st. Paul on practically the same lines
that j J. Hill secured control of the
Burlington. The stock Of the St. Paul
road will be taken over by the Union
Pacific at the October meeting. 1t Is
reported stockholders of the former
line will be offered 5000 4-percent bonds
for every 500 worth of stock and that
the bonds will be guaranteed by the
Union Pacific. Southern Pacific, Mis-
souri, Pacific, and Goulds. who are said
to be parties to the transaction.
Certain large stockholders OF the
st. Paul, ii Is said, have sold or agreed
10 sell stock amounting to about $685.
600 900 par value. Peter Geddes Is said
to be directly concerned in this deal
along with James Henry Smith and
William Rockefeller, all of whom are
directors.
THE deal will be financed at the
Eeastern end by the National City
bank of New York"
