Charles yesterday, en- route to California.
where he will visit friends. took part In
the Boer war.
Major Barchard is the man who conducted
the execution of Lieut. Hans Cordua, OK
the German army. serving in the Boer
forces during that struggle. The story, as
told by the major, is follows:
Lieutenant Core ia had been captured,
and was released on parole. Later he
formed plot which entailed the assassina-
ton OF Major Barchard and the spiriting
away of Gen. Lord Roberts. In the prose-
cution of his plot Lieutenant Cordua
captured in British uniform. and after
court-martial of considerable duration. was
sentenced to be shot.
Major Barchard was summoned 10 Gen.
eral Maxwelis tent, and was ordered by
that officer to carry out the decree of the
court-martial. This was the first execu-
ton that took place in South Africa under
military law. and the case was compn-
Gated for Major Barchard. by reason OF
the fact that he had had charge OF Lieu
tenant Cordua for eleven days, during
which the German officer had come to
gard him as a friend.
When the news OF the pending execution
was carried TO Lieutenant Cordua by Major
Blanchard, the former asked only the priv
ilege OF writing, which was granted. The
of TEN at 9ha ns saas
which carried out the decree OF the court.
Lieutenant Cordua shot seven times
through the heart, and twice otherwise,
only one shot missing him.
The same afternoon, shortly after the
burial, Boer girl called at the office OF
Major Barchard and asked TO see Lieuten-
ant Cordua. Upon being questioned she in
formed him that she was the dead mans
intended wife, and Major Barchard broke
the news TO her as gently as possible. The
same night he received a warning that his
assassination was planned, but he placed
no credence in the report.
A few nights later he was awakened
about o'clock in the morning by some-
thing, and saw his window being slowly
raised. lie watched closely, and a few
moments later the head and shoulder OF
a man appeared. Major Barchard shot
him, and later, when the patrol came
around. he was found to be paroled Boer,
who had evidently been delegated to kill
the major in his sleep.
In speaking OF the conditions in South
Africa, Major Barchard said that he was
confident there would be no more trouble
In that section, the government having
comparatively little trouble in handling
the Boer. In point OF fact he said, the
women Of the country are more vindictive
than the men.

AT the Meridian-street Church DR.. STAINS

recently read of a tragic happening in Lon

hanged for crime and of how the SYM
pathy of the people went out to the man.
wherever he went, although he was the
husband of woman who had been exc
cuted, a kindly smile and helping hand
was extended to him. DR.. Stansfield made
the point that people will have to read
just a good deal of their religious ideas
along the line of facts as they exist in these
days. DR.. Stansfield's congregation was
also addressed by superintendent Wheeler,
of the Rescue Mission, who is spending

ssrHE REFORMED CRIMINAL
One Phase of the Subject Discussed
by DR.. Albert HurlstOne.


1.-THE Reformed Criminal was the topic
of the Rev. Rr. Albert Hurlstone at Rob-
erts Park NJ. E. Church yesterday MORN
ing. DIR. Hurlstone said:
1.-The prison literature of the world is
very precious. An interesting chapter
might be written on the mistakes of the
devil. So many Of the worlds elect spirits
have been imprisoned fol. Righteousness
sake that from the ages of darkness, tyr
amy and ignorance there shine forth
some of our choicest specimens of liter
allure. Providence has favored the church
in this and overruled the designs Of the
enemy. The arrest, of PauPs bodily ac-
tivities at Caesarea and Rome supplied him
with the leisure needed to reach the depths
of truth sounded in his epistles. Four let
tiers from prison are accounted his best,
this plea to Philemon concerning which
Erasmus said Cicero never wrote with
Slams . Colossians and Philippians The
principle Of compensation is seen also in
Chrysostom's letter, written during his
confinement, Luthers translations in the
