MEAT QUESTION SETTLED
Right Food to Take It's Place.

'The shortness of the meat supply and the high price of steak is not an unmitigated evil. On the contrary it is probable blessing" says the Brooklyn Eagle.
 If meat could be raised to a price that would make it prohibitory, 1t might still be of good result, because 1t would teach those who depend almost entirely upon it to widen their dietary and learn to enjoy many good things of which they are now ignorant. To many, especially in the cities, there are but three foods; meat, potatoes and bread. The weary monotony of this program, the unsatisfied but indefinite longings for a widening of it. affect ap- petite and surely affect spirits and temper.
 ''The laborer goes to his work filled with meat, potatoes and bread. At noon he finds cold meat and bread in his dinner-pafl and at night he is confront ed by meat and potatoes, sometimes separate, sometimes combined into A. greasy stew, sometimes chopped into hash.
 This kind of thing fills him, but in a finer sense 1t can hardly be said to feed him. Physicians have discovered that limited and unchanging diet lowers vitality and health."
 Such time as this gives every one an opportunity to test the value of Grape-Nuts as a food and prove to themselves that it more than takes the place of meat and really furnishes more nourishment for the body and greater strength and vitality for the brain and nervous system: it is also an econo- mical food that reduces the cost of liv- ing to the minimum.
 Grape-Nuts are probably entitled to the claim to be the most perfectly adapted food for human needs now ex- tant. The meat eater and the veget- arian are alike charmed with its crisp taste and the delicate flavor of grape sugar and the careful housewife is at tracted by the fact that there are four teen portions in 15c package.

THE ARMY OFFICERS IN THE

The desire of General Miles 10 50 where he can see active service Is be- coming to a soldier, but we are sure that he could not have realized, or in- tended the reflection upon our officers now in command in the Philippines. which, as it seems to us, is involved in his proposition that he now be sent to take control of affairs from them In deed the general expressly disclaims any such reflection. We are confident that study of existing conditions would show him that one of two things is true; either the problem we have to deal with is approaching a solution, or else it is one that requires the slow processes of time for it's settlement If

A NPRo-BOER MASS MEETING.

Held in the Hyperion Theater Last
 Evening.
 An enthusiastic pro-Boer mass meet ing was held last evening in the Fly perion theater. The meeting was large ly attended and the audience included many of the city's prominent citizens. Rev. Herman Van Brockhuisen, former ly pastor of the church which President Paul Kruger attended at Pretoria, Transvaal, was the speaker of the even ing The clergyman, who was educat- ed at the university of Cambridge and the university of Glasgow, took for his general subject f4The Boer- British War"
 Tn speaking of Cecil Rhodes the speaker stated that Cecil Rhodes court ed the favor and friendship of the Dutch until after the time he was placed at the head of the Transvaal by the Dutch and when once at It's head he plunged the dagger inro the hearts of the people who had elected him. And now" said the speaker, "the English end some Americans are praising Rhodes for his greatness, but why? Be- cause he has left them some money I pray to God that the American profess sors in American universities will use their pens and influence against the hypocrisy of a man who. by his will, has tried to gloss over the cruel and heartless life he lived"
 He also said that nine-tenths of the population of Cape Colony are Dutch, the other tenth being English. In the concentration camps 12,000 children and 5000 women have died And" said he. speaker, the war will not end and peace will not result until the Boers have righted these wrongs; all peace stories to the contrary"

 New York May 1.-The steam yacht Aquilo, belonging to William P.

The lndi- cations are that she will be followed by a number of larger yachts belonging to this port including some of those that are now out of commission.
 At the New York Yacht club to-day several of the guests discussed the fea- sibility of making the trip at once Of the big seagoing yachts capabe of mak- ing the voyage that are now out of commission it was believed work would be commenced on more than one to- morrow to get them into readiness for a trip to the West Indies.

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
Course of Them So Far-London Hines
 Not Hopefml

| London. May 12-The Times this morning relates the course of the South African peace negotiations as follows: 1 On the receipt of the Dutch oorre-
 spondence intimating that Great Brit ain was ready to listen to proposals from the Boers in the field Acting Pres
 ident of the Transvaal Schalk Burger came to the British lines and asked per- mission to consult with MT Steyn, for mer president of the Orange Free State This led to the Boer delegates going to Pretoria. Their first proposal to Lord Kitchener and Lord Miner (the British | high commissioner in South Africa) was | that the republics should merely con cede all the demands made by Great | Britain regarding the franchise, etc.. before the war.
 The British government in reply re- ferred them to the Middleburg confer ence az the maximum of possible con- sessions, and refused permission to the Boers to consult their friends in Flu rope. Eventually, while refusing an armistice, Lord Kitchener undertook not to modest the burghers while they were actually holding meetings to au- thorize the leaders to negotiate on the basis of the surrender of independence. but they were told that It was useless to return to Pretoria without being armed with full powers to negotiate. MT. Schalk- Burger assented to this, but MT. Steyn's acquescence seemed doubtful,
 Mail advlces received from Pretoria, continues the Times, declare that Lords Kitchener and Milner promised gener- ous compensation for burned farms, raised no difficulty with regard to the pardon of banlshed leaders, and gave assurances that the question of amnes- ty for rebels did not present insupera- ble difficulties.
 The Times in an editorial article on this matter is not hopeful that peoce will be the outcome of such negotiations and fears the result of the election of member of parliament for Bury, Lam cashire, will influence the Boers to fur ther resistance.

LOCKOUT AT HAZLETON.
Individual Coal Companies Anticipate
 the Strike.


 Hazleton, Pa.,. May 11,-Anticipating the action of their employees two of the individual coal companies in this region have practically locked out their men. This step was taken last night when the Beaver Meadow colliery, and the Lattimer mines notified their employees that they need not report for work un- til ordered to do so. This order does not apply to engineers. firemen and pump runners, whose services are nec- essary to keep the mines free from water. These companies it is believed expect a long struggle, and this belief is strengthened by the fact that at Lat timer work has been suspended on the rebuilding of a fan house that was burned last week and whose reconstruc- tion was necessary to prevent the &C., emulation of gases in one part of the slope.

ANTHRACITE COAL STRIKE
0TTESTTON OF 4 LOCKOUT BY
 THE OPERATORS.

Companies VIII Not Admit at Thls
 Time That tha Agreement to Refrain
 from Operating Is Eventually to Re-
 solve Itself In to a Permanent Lockout
 Hundreds of Men Laid or In Other
 Lines Of Work.
 Scranton, Pa, May 11.--There will be no coal mined In the Scranton end ot the anthracite region tomorrow. Even though the strike order was not certain of being religiously obeyed, there would be no mining, as the companies agreed at a meeting of the general managers and superintendents Saturday that no attempt would be made to operate. The companies will not admit that the agreement to refrain from an attempt at operating is eventually to resolve it. self into a lockout should events at Hazleton make such a thing possible.
 The strike has already made itself se- riously felt in other lines of work. The railroads have laid off four-fifth of their coal train crews In all about 800 men, and the Erie shops at Dunmore, where mine cars and machinery are re- paired, will shut down indefinitely, be- ginning tomorrow, throwing 300 men out of employment
 Meetings of all the locals will be held tomorrow to elect and instruct the del- egates to the HaZleton convention. The sentiment among the more thoughtful and intelligent miners Is opposed to continuance of the strike. These men use as one of their chief arguments the significant fact that the companies mne officials are not soliciting their men to vote against the strike, while at the same time in the last strike these same officials were working day and night to discourage the men from striking.
 In the cathedral this morning, Bishop Hoban asked the congregation to pray that the miners should be given the right to do what is for the best and that sonnet hing will intervene to insure a cessation Of the conflict. The story that the Morganized fleets will bs used to import coal and prevent a famine does not cause President Mitchell any evident concern He dismisses it with the remark that the United States is now exporting coal to all parts of the world.

Boys who are just at that age where
their characters are rapidly shaping and
where the impressions of the world
which they receive are not readily sha-
ken off, should be given something to
amuse and interest them bring them
into manhood as good citizens 1t is the
duty of men and women who have the
welfare of their country at heart, to
lend their efforts to giving assistance to
boys at this age. 1t IS generally only
the man with plenty of means who un-
dertakes such work and in a majority
of cases, his work is poorly done be-
cause he lacks knowledge of what is
necessary
