President Kruger Says the Railroad Will Have to Pay S5,000,000 Damages on hc-
 count of the Explosion.

Johannesburg, Feb. 21.-Presldent Kru- ger and the chiefs of several executive departments of the government of South African republic made an inspection of the scene of the dynamite explosions at Viedendorp, a suburb of this city, yester- day, and visited many injured men, women and children in the hospital. Pr sire mt Kruger after vi wing the scene of devastation, declared the Netherlands Railway company, on board of whose cars the dynamite exploded, would have to pay the amount of damage done, which is calculated at fl 100000 at least. The president was greatly affected by the scenes in the hospitals and elsewhere, and in speaking later dwelt upon the splendid manner in which the people of Johannesburg sunk their race and other feuds and joined the hands in relieving the distress of hundreds who were in need of aid. President Kruger was elect ed president of the relief committee form ed yesterday, and which has already col 1ected E100,0 ,000

Though the great Napoleon was not &C., customed to tolerate talking back" on the part of the people about him, several instances are on record in which ho not -Qnly forgave but rewarded certain degree VI bluntness of speech from persons whose loyalty he had no reason to suspect
 Victor Hugo tells n story of Mgr. Myriel, in which Napoleon asked, "Who is that lit tie man who is staring at mel" and was answered by Myriel himself, "You, sire, arc looking at little man, and I am looking at great man, and 1t may bo to the advantage of us both." The story is declared to be true. The emperor made a bishop of the little priest the next day.
 It is related in recent volume of Ma poleonie "reminiscences that as Napoleon was one day passing in review some of his troops he came in front of an old and faithful officer, who, perhaps from want of brilliancy on the mans part, had never - been advanced beyond the grade of cap tain, though he was well enough known to the emperor. t~f
 Tho emperor was passing at q slow trot. As he came directly in front of the old captain, the officer saluted and said loud ly, but without any apparent movement of the muscles of his face:
 flfteen campaigns, prlvate captain!'
 And the emperor, without turning his head or slaokening his paoe said:
 "Colonol, brigadier, baronl'
 Then he was gone There had indeed been no time for word more than had been passed, but those had sufiiced for the captain to communicate a long story and reproaohful complaint and for the em- peror to set matters right with a military and social promotion. Youths Compan- ion.

Morality of Colleges.

It is difficult and well nigh impossible for those who do not know student life in timately to gauge rightly the moral stand ing of any college. A few dissipated young men can give whole class and even a whole college an unenviable name with the undiscerning public. But those who have studied undergraduate life closely know that these few students are only chips on the surface, and that their influ- ence on the deep, strong undercurrent of college life is scaroel felt. Doubtless the oustomuof putting little restraint on the social life of students in most American colleges has resulted in some temporary harm. But the self reliant manhood that it has developed in American young men has more than counterbalanced the harm. Philadelphia Press.

Hesing's Two Half Fishes.

Chicago Daily Tribune.
 It was a small stream of water, but ex- ceedingly wet and persistent, and ii leak ed out of the corner of a strange-looking box that stood in the postmaster's room in the postoffice building. The colored porter, who usually stands around and looks nice, was down on his knees with a, rag trying to confine the slowly rising tide to the south half of the office.
 There was subdued but active aro- ma in the air. and the nose of Private Secretary Cahill, whose desk was but a few feet from the box, was turned up- ward at an angle of twenty-five degrees in meek but righteous indignation.
 "Yes, yes, indeed" said Postmaster Hesing as he walked nervously out of his inner office, "these are the fish caught in Boston. Beauties? We'll should say they were. Do you know the first fish ever caught? Yes, this is the one I was telling you about the other night-weighed fifty pounds. Oh, he's monster. Yes, cod. Made gamy fight.

HAS ONE NEW WIFE A YEAR.
How the Sultan Chooses Her From a
 TiiTong of Beauties.

a'f- TArong of Beauties.
 luis not generally known that tho sul- tan is obliged to marry many women against his will, yet this is true. The law of Turkey forces him to take q new wife every year. This law is about ITO years old, dating from the time of tho Sultan Selim, who wishing to abolish polygamy, bad but ono wife, but the high dignitaries of Turkey decided that the ancient laws should be maintained.
 On the prophets birthday beginning at sunset and lasting till sunrise, a holiday is kept, on the 18th of Ramazan, nation al and religious feast. and it is at this time the selection of maiden, out of the 101 who have entered tho lists, is made.
 The officials who have tho matter in charge rarely allow any of tho poorer classes to compete, and, accepting bribes, presents and promises of diplomatic aid, gather the young girls together and give them instructions regarding dress and the etiquette of tho occasion. Tho dress con sists of largo white linen sheet thrown over tho shoulders in Roman fashion, san dals on the feet, hair hanging loosely, and no gems or ornaments.
 On tho important night the sultan mounts fine horse and is accompanied by
 
 and aids de-camp in their gala uniforms, representing all tho states over which tho sultan yields his sceptor. Military bands make loud and wild music and tho hun drods and hundrods1ef soldiers which lino tho streets carry on their bayonets Chinese lanterns to illuminate the procession of their ruler.
 At length the sultan arrives at tho Suleimanic mosque, overlooking tho Gold on Horn, and is conducted to tho holy carpet, or prayer rug. Here he stands while sermon is preached to him, and then he goes to the great square. This is crowded with persons of distinction, and in the center Is placed apavilion of scarlet velvet, richly embroidered and decorated with the sultan's monogram, tho official emblem of Turkey. These draperies arc festooned upon silver poles, and within them now are seen tho high priest and the heir to the throne. Around this stand tho 101 maidons, attired in tho white toga, each holding towel in her hand, and making n complete circle around the sul- tan.
 A prayer is made, the heir approaches his father, and, kneeing, offers him two pigeons. The sultan, knceling also, takes a knife from his belt, invokes the aid of the prophet in the selection of new wife, sacrifices, rises washes his hands in Q golden basin held by the priest, and dries them upon the towel of tho young girl ho selects.

The Story Not Credited.

London Feb. 21.-A dispatch to the Central News from Cape Town says that the report that the South African repub- lie intends to throw off the suzerainty of Great Britain and proclaim it's independ- ence is not credited in Cape Town. Sir Jacobus De Wet, the British diplomatic agent at Pretoria, has, however, taken his departure from that place, having been given a special conge, and this fact is regarded as being strange.
