WAR COltRESPOXDEXTS
Famous Boer Colonel-Writer Discuss
es His Contemporaries.
Arthur Lynch, the well known war
correspondent, who became a Boer
colonel in the South African war, has an
interesting article on war correspond
ents in today's Collier's Weekly. He
says:
The type of war correspondent is un
dergoing a certain change, consistent
both with changes in the conduct of war
operations and changes in journalism.
The near prototypes of our present war
correspondents differ as much from
those of today as Hannibal from Baden
Powell. aiacGahan, for instance, was
a great man, an explorer and a. states
man. Donovan was a. veritable hero of
romance, who finished a wonderful
career in the mystery of an unknown
death swallowed up in the eternal sil
ence of the desert. Archibald Forbes
was a ;jreat rider, something of a swash
buckler, not so "brainy" as the other
two, but with a good sense of the broad
issues of things.
Nowadays the great journals of both
hemispheres prefer to send men who
have made reputations rather in the
world of letters than in the moving ac
cidents of flood and fell. War talk be
comes more "gossipy," more full of per
sonal detail, of impressions of everything
that will commend it to the ordinary
reader of the newspaper, who sand
wiches the enjoyment cf a battle at hi3
breakfast between the account of a
society play and the successes of the
latest American jockey in England.
I often wonder whether, with the im
mense enterprise of our newspapers and
the enormous mass of literature pro
vided in consequence, the boasted en
lightenment of the public on great top
ics really occurs. For the news nearly
always has such a decided bias accord
ing to the set of opinion, and the very
mass of reading necessary to form a
judgment is so vast that the public eye
becomes "blasted with excess of light."
This is especially the case in such a
matter of hot discussi&n aa the Boer
war, where all the world is partisan,
and where prejudices and sympathies
outweigh, by ninety-nine to one, good
judgment and equity. Julian RaJph
says all is black. Richard Harding
Davis says all is white. And they both
make their statements so eloquently and
with such an array of arguments, that
the average citizen generally opts for
one or the other and follows him blindly.
However, to come to the concrete. Mr.
Winston Churchill is especially interest
ing to me, both for his achievements
and his promise. He is not a stereotyped
character; he is full of life; he has
points; he gives play; he is abundant
in human nature; he is a type of the
winning young man of today. And to
the amateur of types, or student of
character, it is not essential that the
type should conform to a rigid model,
nor that the character should be capable
of expression in a lapidary inscription.
Churchill distinguished himself early in
the war bv being captured; and, later,
still more by escaping. He had the cour
age and the wisdom to tell his country
men that one Boer was equivalent in
fighting power to five Knglishmen, arid
he also said in the early stae of the
campaign. "There has been a great deal
too much surrendering in this war."
There was a period when he seemed
likely to .become even a Boer sympa
thizer, but after his escape from Pre
toria one of his first messages was to th.
effect that the war should be conducted
inexorably and uncompromisingly. Since
his return to London he has taken up
the cudgels on behalf ot tne 1 enin nus
sars and the First and Tenth Life
Guards against Lord l-tosslyn, wno as,
nT-ri the mihlic. on the authority of cer
tain unnamed English officers.that these
crack regiments had taken to mgm: anu
h (tpscrtpii their guns at Sanna's Post..
T wna told bv one of the Boers who
was present at Sanna's Post, and who
nortainiv hart no nreiudiee against tr.
Household cavalry as distinguished from
anv other, that what Happened was ipi?-.
"It was properly Lemmer's fight," he
oQt.l "hut Tx Wet eot there before him.
He let the English pass through a dry
sin it with a aood Dart of their men ar:ri
guns, his own men being kept in con
cealment in the sluit. Then suddenly he
attacked and the English were seizeo
with a panic, and it was only a running
fight after that, we Killed ana capiur
ed over a thousand and only
lost two men." I give the statement
for what it is worth; but I would ponit
out that even brave men unused to tne
country and unskilled in the art of war
as it should be practiced, might easily
fall victims to a panic under sucn cir
cumstances. That was seen at Magers
fontein, where one of the bravest regi
ments in the world ran like frightened
sheep oefore the sudden and murderous
fire of Cronje's men hidden in their
trenches.
A most interesting episode of the war,
and one w hich holds me in perpetual ad
miration, is Churchill's escape from Pre
toria. In the first brief account which
I r?ad, it appeared that he left the state
school prison at night, climbed a wall
when the sentry's back was momentarily
turned, walked through the streets with
out disguise, got through all the patrols,
jumped on the 11:10 goods train moving
at full speed without attracting atten
tion, hid under coal sacks, jumped from
the train before dawn, remained shelter
ed in a wood all day with only a vul
ture for a companion.walked on at dusk,
following the line, but with grand de
tours at the bridges and culverts, lived
principally on chocolate for five days,
lying up in daylight and walking by
night, and on the sixth day managed to
board a train beyond Middleburg, hid
under coal sacks again, and, in spite of
the train, being searched, arrived safe
and sound at Koomatipoort after sixty
hours of misery.
- It is true that the Boer authorities
told me that they had let Churchlil go,
as they subsequently let George Lynch
go, and they even designated the detec
tive who had arranged to have the door
open for his escape; but then South Af
rica is a land of lies.
Kipling is too great a man to be dealt
with in a section of a small article. I
will only say that my admiration for his
genius as revealed, for instance, in the
"Junele Book" suffers a rude shock
when I peruse his latter day heroic poems.
"The Absent-Minded Beggar" is littie bet
ter than doggerel, and its extraordinary
popularity in England should atrain warn
us of the impossibility of obtaining a cool
ludgment on any aspect of this war from
sources so steeped in prejudice. Kitting
seems to have developed a tone of remark
able truculence In South Africa, and he
advocates the most terrible measures: but
I cannot ttnnK that this is serious. Kip
ling is good-hearted and sensitive: there is
even a certain tone of decadence in his
fibre: and it is in vain that he whips him
self up to fury to persuade us that he is
a sort of second Weyler, or man of blood
and iron. These ferocities are merely
verbal ana ariisuc. ine real rurnan sel
dom boa-sts of his brutality. Even a sol
dier like Kitchener is not avid of the fame
which should accrue to him In his pro
jected campaign of "pacification" in South
Africa, for he begins by sending away all
the correspondents. I doubt greatly that
he would be pleased to be accompanied
ever bv such an admirer of force as Rud
yard Kipling.
Almost as famous as Kipling as a liter-
MORGAN TAKES LP MOODY'S GREAT WORK.
Famous English Divine Follows in the Steps of the American
Evangelist.
Rev. G. Campel! Morgan, of London, comes to this country to carry out
the life work of the late Dwight L. Moody, the celebrated American re
vivalist. Mr. M organ is only 37 years of age. His interests lie among- the
lowly. Indeed, he refuses a call from s. millionaire congregation in order to
work among the humble.
ary man is Conan TJoyle, the creator of
Sheriock Holmes, and wtill more instruct
ive !s his account of matters at the front.
Neither Rudyard Kipling nor Conan Doyle
are war correspondents at all in the sense
that the term was formerly understood.
They have collected most of their infor
mation, and noted their impressions, at
the second line. Conan Doyle's narrative
is not only interesting to the ordinary
reader, but the Rood doctor takes in hand
the military authorities and reads them a
few lessons on the organization of an
army and the conduct of war. In doint?
so he has been taxed in some quarters
with presumption, but if a man speak
logically and to the point it is absurd to
cavil at the uniform or gown that he
wears. Conan Doyle looked at the busi
ness with the eyes of common sense; and
the operations of the army he followed,
guided by stereotyped rules, properly ob
solete for three-quarters of a century,
were often so absurdly at variance with
ordinary intelligence that his criticisms
are all justified.
One of Conan Doyle's descriptions is
worth quoting- by way of contrast to that
of Mr. Julian Ralph, which 1 shull sub
sequently cite: "It was only (ieneral
Smith Dorrien's brigade. I watched them,
rugged, bearded, herce-eyed infantr:-1,
struggling under a cloud of dust. "Who
could have conceived, who had seen the
prim soldier in the time of peace, that he
could so quickly transform himself into
this grim. virile naroarian : ijuiiooe;
faces, hawk faces, hungry wolf faces,
every sort of face except a weak one."
He speaks of them as "maned like lions,"
and compares them to American cow
boys. Among those who have earned the best
reputation from South Africa. Mr. Rich
ard Harding Davis should be phucd in
the front rank. I do not say it because
he advocates the side for which I fought,
but because he has looked at facts on
both sides, fairly and squarely, and he
has not been carried off his feet by the
superficial aspect of things. He went out
to South Africa Anglophile: he followed
the operations of Lord Roberts' army, and
then he proceeded to the republics, where,
with no reason to form a bias, came
to a deliberate judgment of the justice of
the war and the character of the military
operations.
One of the best types of war correspond
ent is George Lynch, who has recently
added in China to the laurels gained in
Cuba and South Africa. His art is a sim
ple one. He gets to the very front and
then relates facts. There is a bluntness
about his narratives which has been of
detriment to him, for they are not only
true, but they read like truth. He saw
the war on "the Knglish side: he was
taken prisoner, and afterward released by
the Boers: and he said that the war was
unjust. On his return to Durban, his li
cense was rescinded.
And that reminds me of the conditions
under which modern war correspondents
work with the Knglish army. They are.
in the first place, under the operation of
the mutiny act. Only a limited number
are allowed to accompany the army, and
the officer commanding makes the selec
tion. It is stipulated that the correspond
ent have a written permit every time he
wishes to go on the held of action or visit
the advanced posts. The military censor,
however, furnishes news of what is trans
piring. The censor has the right to re
tain, expunge, correct, or even append,
what seems to him justifiable. These reg
ulations are not so onerous as they ap
pear; for, generally speaking, the public
wishes to hear only the bright side of
their army's exploits, and the correspond
ents are quite in. accordance with that
view.

WILHELtflNA'S WOOING.
From the London News.
Some interesting: particulara of Queen
Wilhelmina's courtship and betrothal
are supplied by our Paris correspondent.
Although the Queen of the Netherlands
mettle the acquaintance of the grand
ducal family at Cannes, she did not, it
appears, see her betrothed until she
went last year to Berlin. She had heard
a good deal about him from his sister-in-law,
the Princess John, nee Saxe
Weimar, and daughter of the late Prin
cess Pauline of the Netherlands, Duch
ess of Saxe-Weimar. The moment the
queen and Prince Henry saw each other
they were mutually impressed, and so
strongly that the queen would hear of
no other suitor. She pleaded "a cold"
as excuse for not attending a dinner
where she was to pass in review a
number of aspirants. The queen mother,
seeinsr this, prudently curtailed the visit
to Berlin. Inquirit3 were in due course
set on foot about Prince Henry. All the
reports received about him were favor
able, and the queen arranged to have
opportunities to become better acquaint
ed with him. Instead of coming to the
exposition she planned an excursion to
Schwarzburg. Rooms were taken at
an hotel in a picturesque site for the
queen, her mother and the - dowager
duchess, who .was asked to be their
guest.
Prince Henry was not disinclined to
fall in with the little plan. He ob
tained a furlough to come to see his
mother. lie got up excursions to the
show places in the principality, and ac
companied the two queens in their
walks, rides .and drives. She was su
premely happy in his company, and was
sorry when R-jwas -time .for the pafty
to break up. As she was leaving she
said to the prince: W hat a happy tour
I never spent such a happy time in my
life, and X feel I owe so much to you.
Correspondence followed, and one fine
morning the prime minister was sum
moned by the queen to Loo. She lost no
time in informing him that she wa3 en
gaged, and to whom. She said she
hoped the council would give its consent
to the marriage she had decided upon
The Prince of Mecklenburg belonged to
the oldest nouse in Germany; its inter
national situation was high, it played
no part in Kuropean politics, Prince
Henrv could play no part in German
politics, his career had been highly hon
orable, and he was beloved in his family
circle. "WheH you see him' added the
queen, "you will. I am sure, be of opin
ion that I could not make a better
choice, whether for myself or my peo
pie."

IX ONE YEAR 8,303 PIES.
Wonderful Record of a Pennsylvania
Fie Eating Family.
Altoona, Pa., Dec. 28. Mrs. John Wal
ters of Paint township, Blair county,
holds the undisputed record for pie-baking
in Pennsylvania. Her record is
based on figures furnished by a proud
husband, who has aided their seven sous
in the consumption of 8,303 crisp, fluffy
tarts and pies in the year ending De
cember 1.
Mr. and Mrs. Walters live on a farm.
Mn Walters, according to family his
tory, was not born with the pie-baking
instinct. In fact, it is alleged that her
talent in making pastijr was developed
after her marriage, when she discovered
that Mr. Walters could eat turnovers and
tarts three times a day. Conscious of a
record of pies well baked extending over
half a century. Airs. Walters tells that
one of the clauses in the marriage con
tract provided that sire should have pies
on the table every day until death
should part her and ber husband.
The youthful bride, at the start, baked
many pies such as Mr. Walters' mother
never made. But she improved. At any
rate the crisp pumpkin or apple tart was
always to be found on Walters' table. On
the day the 8,a03d pie was baked Farmer
Walters took a holiday in order that he
might spread the news. He is a tall,
lanky fellow, with the appearance of a
champion pie-eater. One of his seven tall
sons, each of whom inherits the father's
love for crisp pastry, accompanied him,
to bear witness to the tiuth of his fath
er's statement. Inquiry was natural as
to who ate all the pies.
"Who ate the pies?" Walters repeated
after his questioner. "Why, we home
folks, of course. I'm good for three a
day, and I hope I haven't raised a sun
who can't do as well as the old man.
Then I have a hired man who, I'm sorry
to say, can beat even me. Why, that
fellow will eat six pies a day and get
fat on 'em. Never had a hired man
about the place who wouldn't eat pies.
The last man I had said he had stomac:i
trouble and wouldn't touch the nicest
tart Mrs. Walters could bake. He dis
appeared one night with my best cole
and I haven't seen him since.
"I have the figures all here. Mfs. Wal
ters kept account. In December, 1890.
she put out 764 pies; January, laoo, 671,
February, 710; March, 728; April. 610;
May, 749; June, 640; July, 809; August,
660; September, 708; October. T57; No
vember, 663. You will notice July was
the prize month. That was during har
vest. I won't have a harvester unless he
eats pies. Never saw a good workman
that didn't lik 'em. Figuring that my
wife's piea are a foot across, putting
them all in a string they would .reach
13V4 miles. Putting them one on top of
the other they would be 300 feet higher '
than the Eiffel tower. Puttin' them a
step a part they would reach 42 5 miles,
and a man could tramp on a pie every
step.
"Who bakes the pies? Mrs. Walters,
of course. She wouldn't let anybody tiy
a hand at such an important job. She
bakes 'em in the big oven in the gar
den, where they get the flavor of the
hickory bark. Nothing like hickory bark
to make a pie taste right. Kvery dav
she bakes 20 pies. She says that ii.
enough for any family."
Millionaire's Humble Banquet.
Little Falls. N. Y., Spe. N. '. World.
A remarkable dinner was given here
last week. Twenty-live hundred persons
were the guests at a banquet and recep
tion given by Robert Mackinnon, who
twenty years ago was a poor boy work
ing in mills of Cohoes for 75 cents a
week. .
Of the 2,500 guests 1.200 were his em
ployes, for- he Is now the millionaire'
owner of the great knit goods manu
factory . here. . . . . : .
Born of Scotch ancestry in 1853 Robert
Mackinnon began life in Cohoes as a
mill operative before he ought to have
been out of the lower schools. But re
alizing that education fits a man to
overcome the world, he worked hard
days and studied hard nights. When he
was 21 years old he began to read law
with a well known attorney. Circum
stances arose which necessitated his
giving up law, and he went back to the
mills.
By 1887 he had so thoroughly mastered
the mill business that, with what money
he had saved and what he could raise,
he came to Little Falls and went into
business in a modest wav. He started
a factory in an old tumble-down lumber
mill. Little by little he improved his
plant. Men recognized his ability and
nis character. He grew steadily in im
portance as a business man.
The fact that he kept his word with
every one, with his generosity with his
employes for he has never forgotten
that he was a poor man himself soon
gave him a wide reputation.
By 1S89 he had progressed so far in
prosperity that the present establish
ment was erected, and last March an
other big addition was made. On
Thursday night his employes were in
vited to a jubilee at which a banquet
was served, and the guests tripped the
light fantastic step to the music of a
full brass band. It was the largest
personal reception that ever took place
in tnis town.
One of the principal figures at the re
ception and ball was the "superintend
ent" of the mill. Miss Belle Mackinnon.
sister of the owner, without doubt one
of the most remarkable women of the
country. A woman of very gentle
characteristics and. of a good deal of
culture, she is the only woman in the
country who stands next to the head of
a great factory and superintends the
work.
She attends to every detail of the
work, and has all the threads of bus!
ness in her hands. She does not fill the
place simply because she is the sister
of the employer, but because she is
capable and has worked her way up. On
Thursday night fully as much honor
was shown her as to her brother.
The floor of the big new mill was
waxed, and after the banquet the young
people danced merrily till a late hour.
Speeches were made during the evening
by Mr. Mackinnon and other persons
present. One of the enjoyable features
of the evening was the friendly spirit
shown by the employes in giving an oil
painting of their employer to him at
the banquet. Mayor Jones, of the city,
made the presentation speech, and dis
played the picture lighted up by the
name of Mr. Mackinnon in incandescent
lights. .
Pneumonia Prevented.
Among the tens of thousands who have
used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy- for
colds and la grippe during the past few
years, to our knowledge, not a single rae
has resulted in pneumonia. Thos. Whit
field & Co., 240 Wabash avenue, Chicago,
one of the most prominent retail druggists
in that city, in speaking of thia, says;
"We recommend Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for la grippe in many cases, as it
not only gives prompt and complete re
covery, but alo counteract any tendency
of la grippe to result in pneumonia." For
