Fruit for Children.

A young mother who Is possessed of the faculty not common might be wish when her first baby began 10 exhibit a fond ness for fruit that it should always have just as much of such food 1t wanted to
 eat. Her own parents had adopted differ ent course, and she was determined that her children should not suffer as she had done. She had idea then how much fruit a child was capable of consuming, but she reigiously kept her word, and now dietetic habits of her two little girls are the scandal of an entire community. When the older and supposedly babies sucking oranges and drinking lemon ade they predicted all sorts Of dire results, and when informed that one of them, at the age of three four, had eaten ten big apples months, had disposed of four pears and two bananas in the same length of time. their horror was too deep for expression. AS a mat ter of fact the baby felt little uncomfort- able after this gastronimis feat and her unre- generate parents had not intended to allow her to go quite so far It happened on a Sunday when the father and mother took turns at staying at home with the child, and did not always take the trouble to compare notes as to the nourishment she had taken her two pears and banana in the morning and that the other repeated the dose at night. It would probably have killed any child not brought up on fruit eating, but in this case 1t caused only a very slight iudisposition.
 These children scarcely have enve the most trihing ailment, and never any serious illness. One of them, during very hard sum- mer, was the only well baby. so far as could be ascertained. within radius of twenty miles-with the exception of a little cousin occurs to any one to connect these facts with their manifest causes, and every one considers the misguided mothers very fortunate to es- cana the proper results of their folly.

WILL CODIFY LAWS CAPT. SAMUEL JONES WILL AS. SYST IN CoDIFYING. At Request of Adjutant General Brandon Captain Jones Has Been Detailed for Work
 in This State.

Captain Samuel c. Jones of the 11th cavalry, U. s. A., at the request of the Adjutant General. has been detailed by the Secretary of War to assist in the codi- flying of the laws of Alabama relating to the militia.
 Captain Jones is now on furlough and Is spending his vacation in this city, where he was detailed on duty with State militia for four years; and where he and his estin1hable wife made many close friends and strong personal attachments.
 It will be matter of eradication to the Alabama National Guard to learn that Captain Jones has taken up the work for which he is especially fitted. Speaking or the matter yesterday he said:
 "A great many of the States, especially Arkansas, had taken very advanced steps in raising the standard of their military forces. l think the National Guard of the several States could be improved by requiring rigid examination of the officers.
 An officer should understand the laws of his State," said Captain Jones. He should understand how to control his men and what to do in case of a riot. when his troops are called out. He should understood the limit of his power. the power of the military of his State and the federal government: how to care for his men in camp; how to feed them; how to cultivate discipline and maintain dis ciphne among his men,"

100, ,OOO ACRES FOR
 BOERS IN MEXICO
JoUBERT GOING TO AFRICA TO
 SHIP FIRST 100 FAMILIES.
Former Senator Butler Buys Tamau- lipas Tract-Will Furnish First Settlers With Horses and Cat
 tie and Counties on Crops.

Washington Special to N. Y. World.~
 Plans for colonizing South African Bo- CTS in Mexico are rapidly nearing com pletion. Land has been secured and all arrangements perfected with the Mexican Government. Negotiations have been in progress for several months.
 Former Senator Marion Butler, Of North Carolina, and Gen Piet Poubert, nephew and successor of the Boer Commander-in- Chief, have gone to New York. where they will be joined by Captain O'Donnell and have further conferences with officials of the California and Del Monte Mining Companies at the offices in the Hudson Building, No. 32 Broadway.
 The plan of colonization, as. indicated by MT. Butler. is for the California and Del Monte Gold Mining Companies, which he represents, to buy an enormous tract of land in Tamaulipas, and, reserv- | ing the mining rights, sell it to the Boers | in small tracts at a nominal price Just before leaving Mexico,' said Mir. | Butler. 'I contracted for the entire es- 1 tate in Tamaulipas, consisting of 100000 acres of land. The purchase price agreed upon approximates 8, ,000, ,000 or about s per acre. Of this great tract the Boers, through General Joubert, Captain O'Don- nell and the committees now in Holland, have contracted for 100000 acres. If the settlement is a success they will purchase more.
 "The Lopez estate Is situated in the State of Tamaulipas. of which Victoria is the capital. said to be the richest State in Mexico. Two splendid rivers, the Soto la Marina and the Corozal. flow through it, and on the Gulf are two fine harbors, that at the mouth of the first named river being superior to sthat of Tamplco. The climate Is good. and there Is no reason why under Boer development this State should not become the most prosperous in Mexico From the stock on the estate we have contracted to furnish the first settlers with 5000 cattle and 1000 horses, they to select from the vast numbers in our possession.
 The Mexican Government is delighted with the coming of the Boers. General Joubert and I called on President Diaz last week and explained to him what we had done and purposed to do, and secured his endorsement After listening for a time the President interjected charac- teristic remark. He said, We have a great country full of nuts. but no teeth to crack them

DEAD IN A STABLE
MYSTERY ATTACHES TO FIND
 ING OF UNKNOWN BODY.
Dec6mpcsed Body of Negro Found in Deseftsd Stall at Riverside. .'
 m, Death Came From Ma os.a ,a rsdieioe tural Causes.W neo,1lH .

The iecomposed body of an unknown negro was found yesterday morning fin a stall in one of the deserted stables at Riverside Park. sa' F'' .
 Some mystery attaches to the finding of the body and the authorities at first sus- pected foul play. An examination of the remains, however, convinced Coroner w. IT. Tice that the negro had died ~froTn natural causes. He had been dead week or ten days. c.
 The finding of the body was anonymous ly reported to the Police Department yes- terday.. Some unknown party called the department up and told them that the dead body of a negro was lying in stall at Riverside Park. The informant of the police declined to give his name.
 Coroner Tice was immediately notified. With several policemen he went to Riv- erside.
 The body was found in a doubled up position. It was badly decomposed number of vultures had been attracted to the stables Their presence had perhaps first drawn the attention of the finder of the body.
 A careful examina ton for wounds was made by Coroner Tice. He was unable to find any. From the position of the body and from its surroundings it is thought that death came from natural causes It is supposed that the negro stricken with illness went to the stable for shelter There alone and beyond as- sistance death came to him.
 The negro was not identified. The body was so decomposed that Identification was impossible. The police were unable to find any clue that would lead to the ident- ification of the remains. It Is thought that the body was that of some negro tramp who was stricken with illness while passing through the city.
 The remains were turned over to ne- gro undertaken, who had them inferred.

 The subjects of "The Strong and Weak Points in the Baptist Church Polity and Practice" and the New Testamentized Life, were ably and eloquently discuss ed by many of the ministers present The discussion of the former subject was opened by Dr. J. F. Eden of Girard, in a lengthy address. Dr. Eden presented the subject logically. and in a very prac- tical and forceful style He emphasized especially the thoughts that the Baptist Church recognized but the one law-giver, Jesus Christ, and in proportion as any other law-giver is recognized, to that ex- tent they become weak. That their re- cognition of the Scriptures as the only rule of faith and practice was strong point, and that they should be governed bv this in their lives and ministrations That the only kingship they recognized was that of Christs, and that they en- loved freedom of church and equality of membershiD. That they enjoyed unity of
