"REC0NSTR UcTyNG" THE BoERs

H E BOERSs
 The British government had a big job on it's hands when it was fighting the Boers, and it has big job on it's hands now when it is "reconstructing" them. It is pledged by the Pretoria convention to repatriate the Boers held as prison- CTS of war at St. Helena, in India, in Bermuda, and in other places. There are 25,000 of these exiled burghers to be sent home from remote points. In South Africa thousands of Boers who had surrendered were detained as pris- oners in the camps. Then there were the women and children who had been
 concentrated at various places and cared for by the British government, All these persons must be sent to their farms, and most of them must be aided to rebuild their homes and restock their farms. This is a stupendous undertak- ing. The country has been devastated and is now impoverished. British off, ficials are doing their best to carry ont the provisions of the Pretoria conven- tion,. but the task is an exceedingly diff

OUR WILD HOGS.

A Chapter About Their Home and
 Habits.
 Sportsmen are not accustomed to think of the wild hog as game that may be hunted in the United States, but the fact remains that there are thousands of the animals wandering through certain sections of the South. They are as wild as deer and wellnigh as formidable as the bear. For some season the hunting of pigs has not yet came to be generally classed as sport by southern hunters, probably for the reason that for good share of the year the flesh of the wild hog is not good for food. But such is the case likewise with the deer, the squirrel, and, in fact, every sort of game, and little by little hunters are coming to wait for the pig

There are still some things for United States business men to learn. Accord ing to Consul Johnson, at Santos, there would be an excellent market for Amer ican axes in Brazil if the manufacturers of this country would prepare their goods for shipment with better care. Consul Johnson says: T saw a travel ing salesman here recently who repre- scented a German hardware house, who had with him a full assortment of goods, and who claimed to be doing a. good business, and the presence of this salesman reminded me of something a. man told me recently He said the axes manufactured in the United States were greatly preferred to any other, but that on account of inferior packing they were covered with rust when they ar rived here. and hence were unstable; that the Germans wrapped each axe in oil paper, and thereby protected them from the damp salt atmosphere while in transit

The captain reports that the day after he left Havana his vessel grounded in fog near Cape Carisford, in Florida. While she was still fast eighty boats, laden with men, besieged the ship, threatening those on board and demanding booty. The captain threw overheard a portion of his cargo in an unsuccessful attempt to satisfy the robbers; but seeing that their con- duct was becoming still more threaten ing, the crew opened fire and the AL fonso XIII, at length refloating, steam- ed rapidly away.

City Electrician Ellicott has a plan for developing the electric power of the Chicago drainage canal water power whereby the city can get the use of it and yet not be compelled to pay the cost of installation. It has been talked of considerably before and is based on the installation of the plant by a private company to which the. city will obligate itself to pay enough rental to insure the payment of dividends on the invest ment. MT. Ellicott figures that what the city now pays for electric-light and water-pumping power would more than amount to the sum required to make these payments, his estimate of the cost of installing the plant being $2,5oo,- 900. >>

IN CATHOLIC CHURCHES.
Celebration OF Palm Sunday and Holy
Week Service.

In the Catholic churches yesterday Palm
Sunday, concentrating the triumphal
entry Of Christ into Jerusalem. was cele-
brateG with great solemnity At st. Johns
Cathedral. prior to the 1920 o'clock mass,
palms were blessed by the priests and then
distributed to the members Of the congrega-
ton. The Rev. Z. j. Zirchelbach, with the
Rev. Father Gavisk as master OF cere-
monies. had charge of the blessing Of the
palms. The time required TO bless the
palms was about one-half hour During
that time prayers were said for those who
were TO receive the palms. The palms were
sent last week from Florida. They were
placed on large tables in the sanctuary
After the blessing the members OF the con-
gregatiOn walked up the middle aisles 10
the chancel rail while the choir sang.
'Hosanna TO the Son OF David" Three
priests with arms laden with the strips OF
palm presented each person with a strip.
1t was very impressive sight as the peo-
pie returned 10 their pews carrying the
waving strips Of palm.

regarded as "A forerunner OF the sorTOwful

ethical qualities of the revival meetings to
be conducted at the Y. NJ. c. A. rooms this
week?
May I. for myself. as one interested in
the movement. attempt to answer your
question? 1t is true that every revival
of religion is supposed to be- ethical in
it's nature. But supposition and fact are
often far apart. and the dominant char
acteristic of some revivals L have known
was the utter absence of the ethical ele-
ment. Within two years | have heard
this categorical and unmodif1ed statement
from one of the leading pulpits of this
city: THE moral man is a menace TO the
COMMUNICATIVE plea being that TO be
moral only had no virtue, and that to
be right one must be religious. 1t is my
conviction that a man can be religious
only as he Is moral. and that the moral
or ethical element lies at the basis Of
every religious life, or, better, of every true
life. Life is one. Membership In a church
does not make a man religious, nor does
nonmembership make him a saint or sim
ner. 1t is the ethical element which makes
his life worthy or worthless. The word
ethical" then, is used in connection with
these meetings, not to Introduce a new Idea,
but to lay emphasis on an old and very true
law of our life, and to make distinction
between ethical and emotional or Senti.
mental.
The movement is not narrow or sectarian,
but for all men without any religious con-
sideratiOns. The meetings are to be held
in the Y. NJ. c. A. because no other central
place could be obtained, and in the Merid-
ian-street Church because il Is most con-
venientIy situated and equipped. AS far as
any selfish interest of those who engage
in the services is concerned they could be
held anywhere. The movement is wholly
informal, and, so far as the men who are
cooperating are concerned, purely acct
dental. The phrase TO which you call at
tention: IAN ethical revival of religion
for personal and social Righteousness, /"
seems to express that which lies in our
minds in distinction from any movement
on any other basis.
1 take occasion to thank you for your
friendly attitude toward this and toward
all movements which seek the larger life
of men. H. G. MESERVE.

latest New Testament writings, and which
has furnished more than one evidence OF
what we may call editorial comment or
note by some other than John, in this writ
ing, Judas is called thief but there is not
a particle OF evidence of this or the least
intimation in the other and older records.
evidence that the practical mind of Judas
really sought to precipitate the entrance of
his Lord into the kingdom He soon to
establish Certain it Is that he was the
most bitterly and gallingly disappointed
person of all in the final outcome Of mis-
deed. He evidently thought that Jesus
would beat back His enemies in this hour
He had done every previous OCCASION;
but . the disappointment, intensified step
by step as Jesus yields in the garden, at
the judgment hall, on, on, until finally
Plate delivers Him to be crucified; then,
with the utter miscarriage of his purpose
and the awful ending of his deed, crushed
and heart-broken, he rushes to rid himself
of the money that has now taken on new
meaning and goes out and hangs himself.
IL he had been less human and good he
would probably have done otherwise. Had
he been the man he is often pictured as be-
ing he would not have hanged himself but
would have rejoiced at his ShreWdneSS and
gain.
1.-The sad fact and tendency in the life of
Judas was this: His so-called practical and
keen business mind so kept him to the
Municipalities of life that he failed to rise to
higher and truer conceptions of doing and
being. The tragedy of Judas arose wholly
because he lived on too low plane of life.
A man of hard, practical Municipalities; that
is Judas, and it is Judas who asks, why
this waste?' Judas who cannot understand
the spontaneous liberalities of love. And
the Judas spirit is in every age challenging
every philanthropy and benevolence, every
self-sacrifcing and redemptive work, and
this he does usually under the plausible
caption, Practical Good Gould not this

but il was better given now for what it
recorded Of personal love and confidence"

DIAGNOSED HIS OWN CASE.
A CoIOred Man Knew He Had Small
pox-HOuses Quarantined.

Seven new cases of smallpox were un-
earthed yesterday. A colored man named
Jackson walked into the office of the City
DispenSary late in the afternoon with
marks of the disease on his face. He told
the physicians that he felt sure he had
smallpox and after the doctors had ex-
amined him they told him that his own
diagnosis was correct. He was quickly
taken to the pesthouse.
A family living at 1925 West Twenty-sixth
street was put under quarantine, as was
also the house of 1927 West Twenty-sixth
street. In the former place there were five
persons-Mr. and Mrs. Van Horn, Sarah
Van Horn, Leota Wycoff and William Lor-
man. At the latter place Mrs. Mary
Perkins, who is a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Van Horn. has a well-developed case
of the disease. 1t is thought she con-

parents.

STORY OF ALLEGED ASSAULT.
Mrs. Frances Smith Claims to Have
Been Roughly Used.

Mrs. Frances Smith. an elderly woman,
created a great amount of excitement last
night in the neighborhood of New Jersey
and South streets by giving out the in
formation that she had been assaulted by
a man In the alley in the rear of 1913 East
South street. Mrs. Smith lives in a small
house in the rear OF No. 323. When IL be-
came known that a woman had been as
Saulted a detachment of police was sent to
the scene and the district policemen, Jordan
and Golnish, also appeared TO search for
the man. When the police arrived they
found Mrs. Smith sitting in her room APP
parently in a greatly agitated frame of
mind.
She told the policemen she was on her
way home from her work and when she
crossed Ala bama street at McCarty she no
ticed a short, stockily built man standing
on the corner. AS she walked further up
the street she heard footsteps behind her
and, looking back, said she recognized the
man as the one who was standing at the
corner of Alabama and McCarty streets.
The man continued to follow her, she said,
which runs back of South street, the man
caught up with her. He was so brusque in
his manner, she said, that she again turned
her head and got a good look at him. As
he came up to her he asked in grun
voice, Where you going?" Before she
could answer the man had grabbed her by
the throat and forced her to the ground.
He kept his hand tightly on her throat, she
said, an she could give no cry for help.
She sad after the man released her he ran
south through the alley.
Captain Hyland, in talking to Mrs. Smith,
ascertained that she was not certain that
the man accomplished his purpose. To
many of the questions asked by the police
Mrs. Smith gave evasive answers. Mrs.
Smith told several stories concerning her
actions and gave the impression that she
was trying to shield some one. She told
the police that she had been working in a
private family on South Delaware street,
near McCarty. Patrolmen Jordan and
Golnish went to every house in that locality
but no one knows of Mrs. Smith or ever
heard of her. 1t is said she was separated
from her husband about one year ago. She
said she had three boys and one girl, but
she does not know where they are.
