Washington, Feb. 23.--An enthus

was held today at the Lafayette
square theater, and resolutions were
adopted calling on President Roose
velt and congress to use all their
power to prevent the further expor-
tation of horses and mules to the
English in South Africa In addi-
tion to this, a collection was taken
up for the benefit of the Boer widows
and orphans. There were fully a
thousand people in the theater when
Rev. Thomas Palmer Easton, d. D.,
called the meeting to order. Com.
mandant Krige, formerly with the
Boer army, delivered an address re-
citing events in South Africa and
saying neither he nor any other Boer
wanted to create hatred between the
American and English nations but
every Boer called to America and the
American people to put stop to the
shipments of thousands of horses and
mules to South Africa for the British
and to maintain strict neutrality.
The Beers will never be conquered,

The survey this past season was for
the purpose of finding the shortest
route and deciding upon the cost.
It has been found that tunnel six
miles long is needed to bring the
water from the river to the lands
that need watering and that the cost
will not be excesslve.-Ex.

Superintendent Dietrich has fgur
ed that a manual training depart.
ment could be established in the city
schools here for 81 900 and that the
cost per school year of training 500
pupils would be only $1.50 per
capita. In his address at the dedi.
cation Of the Helen Hunt school Fri
day he made strong argument for
the manual training school. He
would like to see this feature Of
school work established in Colorado
Springs. Such training, he says,
would reach class of children that
the common school course does not
appeal to and it would make useful
men and women out of many chill
dren, he believes. Speaking OF
manual training from both the utili-
tartan and educational standpoint,
Superintendent Dietrich said: "It
trains the hands to form mental con.
ceptions and thus promotes inven.
ton. 1t enables the youth to touch
the world at more points and thus
helps to solve the difficult problems
OF future calling. 1t will, if Of the
right kind, prove alike useful to all
and hence should be part Of lib.
eral education. 1t dignifies labor
and tends to make it more intelli.
gent. It makes producers and thus
fosters contentment-the friend OF
church and state. 1t helps to make
a higher type of manhood and better
