An UHtrotned but REMARKABLY Successful
African Ruler and Diplomat.
His honor, the president of the
South African Republic, is one of il
not the most remarkable characters at
present occupying the political stage
of South Africa. The Transvaar, over
whose destinies President Kruger
watches, is the richest gold-bearing
region in South Africa, If not in the
world-an independent Dutch republic
founded by the Beers who were ousted
from the Cape Colony by what they
were pleased to term English misrule.
Their bitter antipathy to British mis-
appropriation of a territory colonized
and conquered by their fathers drove
them further afield to the unexplored
tracts beyond the Vaal river, where as
Gods chosen people they could read
their Bibles and harass the natives far
away from cape officialism.
Unlike his neighbor president, Mr..
Reitz of the Orange Free state (anoth-
er thriving offshot of Dutch secession),

standing. Mr.. Kruger's marvellous adj
ministrative capacity is based solely
on his native and unframed talents.

CHATTER XIV.
"I will rescue her." replied Brown,
with flashing eyes "Her rescue must
be accomplished by strategy, not at
tempted by force of arms. o, Col. San
ford, as you value that loving daugh-
ter's life, give me strong, feet horse
and will take the trail at once, and if
do not return your beloved child
to your arms it will be because my
name has been stricken from the roll
If life and added to the great roster of
Heath. will and can rescue her if you
will permit me to do So"
The old commander regarded the sol
1ier with searching look, admiration
beaming from his eyes. In the young
mans clear, unflinching gaze he saw
evidence Of the courage of the lion,
courage that would not WAIVER in the
face of any danger. His hatred Of the
humble private was intense, for he had
Jared to look upon his daughter with
ayes of love, yet that daughters life
was now at stake, and he realized that
her rescue depended perhaps wholly
upon the efforts of the man he so de-
spised. It was doubtful if man in all
that garrison could be found who would
take his life in his hands and go upon q
mission so fraught with deadly peril.
Brown stood and awaited the result OF
his plea, his well-poised head thrown
back and his clear eyes looking into
those of the commander with untiinch-
ing steadiness. Addressing Capt. Col
by, the colonel said:
Captain, supply this man with
everything he may need and let him go,
and may God go with you. sir, may
God go with YOU" Then turning he
entered his quarters

with impotence.

eous faces rendered yet more hideous
by great blotches of war paint.
While some of the Indians danced
about her in fendish exultation, others
bound her arms with rawhide thongs,
and then, leading her pony in their
midst, they forded the Rio Grande and
moved eastward through the hills to-
ward the Mescalero reservation beyond
the San Andreas.
A cavalry soldier who was hunting
antelope in the hills witnessed the cap
ture from a distance, and pushing his
horse to its utmost speed bore the
news to the fort.
The tidings Of the poor girls capture
threw the garrison into the widest ex-
element. Bugles blared forth the call
to horse, and every preparation was
made for the pursuit of the red fends.
Col. Sanford paced the porch in front
of his quarters, issuing orders to his of
ficers, swearing and crashing his teeth
in his great rage and grief. In the
midst of his frantic movements Private
Brown, his face pale and pain-drawn,
his eyes set in look of the most fixed
determination, stepped onto the porch
and confronted him.
"Col. Sanford" he cried, ''you must
listen to me-"
'You here again, you internal scoun-
drel!" roared the officer, drawing his
sword. "Begone to your troop at once,
sir, and get into the saddle, or 1 will
cut you down as would noxious

''No, colonel, will not go and you
shall hear me! Strike me down if You

Something in the young soldiers look
and tone arrested the colonel's uplifted
hand, and allowing the point of his
sword to drop to the floor he said:
'sWell, sirrah, what have you to say?''
''Thank God you have permitted rea-
son to overcome your mad prejudice.
Col Sanford, do you not know that if
you send troops on the trail of those In
dams your action will seal the death
warrant of the child you love SO dearly?
Has not your long experience in Indian
warfare taught you that at the first

MEN WHO WANT TO WORK.
More Orders for Help Placed
in the States Free
Labor Bureau.
Wageworkers' Unions Opposed to
the Salvation Army's Pro-
posed Farm.

The total registration at the States Free
Labor Bureau yesterday was $500, of which
1000 applicants for work were men. Labor
Commissioner Fitzgerald felt greatly en-
couraged. for he had been able to secure
employment for large number, and every
day the orders for help have been increas-
ing.
Yesterday well-known local canning
and packing firm placed with him an order
for 150 women and girls to pick and cut
fruit The women can earn about 81 on
an average, but experts can make from
81 rs to 81. Another firm in the same line
OF business gave an order a week or SO ago
for 500 to 800 women and girls.
But few women would accept housework
and cooking at less than $25 to $35 a
month.
A number of good positions were offered
to the unemployed. Several orders were
placed for engineers, blacksmiths, carpen-
terS, machinists, teamsters and woodsmen.
Fair wages were offered, but many of the
applicants for work seemed to insist upon
receiving good wages.
Several days ago Captain McFee of the
Salvation Army asked for the Labor Com
missioner's cooperation in organizing
and operating farm for the Employment
of many idle single men, similar to the
one near Detroit. Much to Mr.. Fitzger-
ald's surprise he has received several let
ters opposing his having anything to do
with the Salvation Army people. The op.
position came from the Wageworkers'
Union on the ground that the plan would
exclude men with families.
The first labor union to respond to the
Labor Commissioners request for co-opera-
tion and support in gathering statistics
and helping the unemployed was Cigar

ONLY FOUNDATIONS BUILT
Work Is Stopped on the Great
California-Street Apart

THE ARCHITECTS ARE UNPAID
GhostIy Walls That Form a Queer
Contrast to the Adjoining
Smart Residences.

The plan of building a magnificent
twelve-story apartment-house at the cor.
ner of California and Taylor streets has
apparently entirely collapsed.
Though those interested in the Mob Hill
Development Company, which was to con.
struct the ediice at cost of 0,000, pro-
fess to believe that the house will still
tower above Charles F. Crocker's residence
across the street, the chances seem to be
against such consummation of the plans.
In their present state the foundations OF
the great structure. the only portion that
was constructed, present desolate ap-
pearance but little in keeping with the
trim residences along the street.
The calls of the masons and teamsters
demanding that the helpers produce more
stone or mortar, or that the horses do more
work. have given way to the shouts OF
urchins who run about on the tops of the
concrete walls and play hide and seek
among the deserted chambers.
Had the entire building been finished in
as substantial a manner as the foundations
it would doubtless have been one of the
strongest buildings in the City.
The surface of the lot on which opera
tions were begun stood ten to fifteen feet
above California street ana was mass OF
rock so solid that in order to get down to a
level with the thoroughfare the contract
ors were compelled to blast it away.
Even this did not satisfy the projectors
and the contractors delved several feet into
the earth before the work of building up
the foundations was begun.
Then, when they had risen few feet
above the level of the ground, huge arches
and massive walls were placed at such fre-
quent intervals that only passages between
them were left. When the foundation
walls were complete and given smooth
finish the work stopped apparently never
to be resumed.
Weeds are beginning to make their ap-
pearance among the deserted rooms, many
of which will become wells of water when
the winter rains have poured food upon
them. Those gray, ghostly looking walls
represent large outlay of money. which il
is said will fall on the contractors who
built them and not on the Development

COLLISION WITH A CAR.
James Comerford Probably Fatally In
jured in a Collision on Cali
fOrnia Street.

As the result of a collision with Cali
fornia-street cable-car, young James Com
erfofd lies at his fathers home on Hyde
street, near Pine, suffering from injuries
that may prove fatal.
Yesterday morning, at6:30 o'clock. Com
erford was driving wagon belonging to
the Cable Market on Larkin street. He
turned into California street, and when
opposite the cable company's power and
car house was run into by car moving
from the house to the main line. The
young fellow was thrown violently to the
ground, and sustained injuries about the
head of serious nature.
DR.. Barger was summoned, and he i'm
mediately ordered the unconscious boy re-
moved to his home. An examination dis
closed the fact that young Comerford was
suffering from severe conclusion of the
brain. There were moments during the
afternoon when consciousness came to
him. though at late hour last night he
was far from being out of danger.
As soon as the car struck the wagon the
horse wheeled abruptly around, and in a
mad flight down California street to Larkin
succeeded in demolishing the vehicle in a
second collision with Larkin-street car.

FOR A HUNDRED THOUSAND.
The Big Bancroft Suit Is to Be Carried
Without Delay to the Supreme
Court.


The 100000 suit of H. Fl. Bancroft
against the San Francisco Tool Company
is to be appealed to the Supreme Court.
Judge Slack granted non-suit on the
ground that the Statutes of Limitations had
run against the plaintiffs claim-that the
statutes began to run from the time the
fatal elevator was placed in the Bancroft
building, and not from the date of the ter
rible accident in September, 1888.
The elevator put in by the San Francisco
Tool Company was in daily use two Or
three years before the accident occurred,
and the defendant company sets up the
claim that as the elevator had been
accepted, it was not liable for any
damages that might accrue from accident
subsequent to the time of its acceptance.
When the accident occurred in 1888, one
person was killed and five or six were more
or less seriously injured. The Bancroft
Company was sued for damages, and in
settlement of the several suits made pay
ments ranging from $4,000 to $4,000. In the

WANT IDEAS ABOUT laws,
Anybody Can Tell the Code

HOW THE COMMISSION WORKS.
Open Sessions to Be Held Soon to

Nothing has been heard from the Code
Commissioners since their appointment,
but they are hard at work ami very soon
now will hold open sessions in this City
for the purpose OF receiving suggestions
from lawyers and laymen who may have
ideas about changing laws or making new
ones.
Of course lawyers are most deeply inter-

but there is much in it of popular interest,
too. The work they have to do before the
next Legislature meets is extensive and
important. Since the laws of the State
