MRS. KRUGER
Though Rich. She Does the Cooking
 and Makes the Beds
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
 Mrs. Kruger, wife of the president of the 1ransvaal Republic is unhandsome.
 She is also economical. though her fam ous husband has a capital of $25 900 eco.
 She is so rich that il would take the greatest effort to spend her income in- vested. as the capital is in great paving in- terests. To do this she would have to live in almost bar5arie splendcr, but bless you, she even docs her own cooking.
 IL is probable that her acute, subtle hus- band approves of her style of living.
 If he objects. none returning from that far land has ever heard of it. It is more than probable that by just such thrifty methods MT. Kruger himself rose into hs present eminence.
 But think of it
 fortune of S25, ,O0000o and to do ones own cooking!
 To fuss and fume and fret and stew over boiling stove In a hot, hot land. ra ther than spend the money on a madi! And not only to cook. for it is whispered--and loud ly in tourist and English circles in Africa that she very often takes a hand in the washing and that she scrubs and rolls the clothes with the skill and strength of the best of them.
 She also insists upon making her own beds. This may be because "the Kruger needs an untroubled pillow sheet with out wrinkle to ease him from the arduous duties of schemng to make empires and millions, but if she does the rest of the hard work it is probable she makes the bed also to save the penny-or whatever the money is in that land
 When her husband has state guests to dinner this is, indeed. the time the good lady shines; here she shows the stuff of which she is made, and does honor to the millions and her position as wife of the president.
 Not a the foot or the head of the table but in passing the dishes. To no butler will she ever trust So great a responsibility. There might be a slip. a mishap. that she couldn't guard against. So, shining and splendid, with large white apron over her capaeious form. she waits on each guest.
 Surely she argues. mo hostess can take better care of guest than this
 Every plate is then heaped to perfection, each glass kept filled to the brim. no slight est wish from any one goes unnoticed.
 If any one is rash enough to eXtol to "Auntie" Kruger. as every calls her, the slories of her wealth and the immense amount of monthly pocket money she has to control. she will tell that person a se- cret. one in which she glories.
 It is this; That she and the president have never lived beyond their "eoffee money"
 And that amounts to 5000 year allowed them by the government!
 So. you see. they never touch the other great capital. never put their hands on the income of one of the greatest fortunes In the world,
 Where it will all go, no one knows. Like many other great millionaires, Dom Paul may leave it to persons who will enjoy throwing it away on all unworthy subjects that came under their notice.

A Birr a'gham Woman Writes of
 A Member of the Siamese Navy

A bright Birmingham woman who is spending the summer in Boston writes me that the friends whom she is visiting are entertaining at present the distinguished pr Hayes, a member of the medical staff in the Siamese navy. He, with his wife, will spend the winter in this country. Dr. Hayes. who is q southerner. to be explicit, a South Carolinian, has been in Siam since 1886, where he was sent to mission established under the auspices of the Presbyterian board Later at the request of the Siamese majesty's government, he resigned his position in order to open the first hospital in Siam for the natives. He has talked most Interestingly to this friend from Birmingham and she sends the fol- lowing account of his work:
 pr. Hayes resigned his position as super intendent of hospitals and lectures to ac- cept the honored post of consulting physi- elan to the Siamese court. The latter place he filled for three or more years, resigning it to take up and organize the medical staff of the Siamese navy. In this work he Is

From the Detroit Free Press.
 "Yes. we're at swords points" admitted a suburbanite while discussing a neighbor.
 Fault on both sides, l presume?"
 ''No. sir, not bit of it. I've been unfor- tunate. that's all. and he won't listen to explanations.
 "Shot his dog. didn't you?'
 ''Yes I did. but it was this way. I heard the whole street in shrieks, and rushed to the window. Boys were climbing trees. mothers hustled their babies inside and locked their doors, and down the center of the street came that dog like all possessed. Of course I thought he was mad. So would anybody and I shot him.
 'Come to find out he'd been roofing into a humble bees nest. I'm no expert on mad dogs. and told my neisfloor so, but he stormed around though he had bees in his own hair. and l just dropped him.
 What made him madder was that I hit him in the head with an old coal scuttle. I can't see through tight board fence, can I? I didn't know he was shocking through the alley when I threw the thing away. He was so mad that I didn't recognize his voice. I told him we didn't allow such talk and had him kicked across part of a sub division before I discovered who he was. Then I apoogiZed. but there's no reason in him."

Special Dispatch to The Call.

HAVANA, May 29.-To-d days events
in connection with the payment of the
Cuban troops entitled to apply here for
share in the American gratuity have
effectually killed off the opposition to
the receipt of the bounty by privates.
Three hundred privates arrived during
the day to apply for payment, but
though the commissioner Superintend-
ing the distribution here kept his office
open from 10 a. m. to p. M, only liz
could be paid during that interval, as
each man took up several minutes.
Many who Brought arms were not on
the rolls at all. Ninety-nin rifles were
surrendered, most of the applicants de-
Ginning to take any chances in turning
the weapons over to the Mayor of Ha-
vana evidently believing it would be
better to give them direct to the Amer
leans.
All day it was virtually impossible to
get through the front door of the Office
unless the sentry cleared the way. The
Cuban officers who on the first day
tried to discourage those who were in
clined to apply, finding now that the
tide of feeling has turned, are offering
all the assistance possible to Colonel
Randall
At the conclusion Of the days work
there were more than 200 who had not
been heard. These will have to walt
until after the return of the pay car on
June 10, when there will probably be
extra days assigned to Havana.
Tomorrow the pay car will leave,
carrying money, Colonel Randall, his
escort. physician and the paymasters.
One thousand posters were sent this
afternoon into the province of Pinar
del Rio to announce the places and
dates of payment.

Wide Scope of Trust Formed by the
General Carriage

Company

NEW YORK, May 29.-When the Cen
eral Carriage Company was formed with
A modest capital under the laws of the
State of New York 1t was supposed that
it intended to operate simply in this and
other cities of this State. Now, 1t ap
pears, that this wide-reaching franchise,
which was granted in the last days OF
the regular session of the Legislature
is to be used as the basis for big trust,
with capital of 5000, 900 ,0O0 which is to
extend its operations from one end of the
country to the other, taking in all Of the
large cities. such as New York Boston,
Philadelphia. Chicago, St. Louis and San
Francisco. At the start 1T will be turned
into a terminal transfer company for the
purpose of collecting and delivering
freight and other merchandise in various
parts Of the country in much the same
way as that in which existing express
companies operate In fact it is the in
tention to cut into the business of ex-
press companies, and TO deliver goods as
expeditiously as express companies do,
but charging only public freight rates
for the service. The new trust will go
a step further and undertake to relieve
merchants and other shippers from the
trouble of applying to railroads at all.
1t will collect freight, see to the billing

II. so that the shippers do no need TO
bother with it from the moment 1t leaves

ports furnished by NJ. Guene, the de-
tective, all unfavorable to Dreyfus, and
reports of the Prefecture of Police,
pointing out that there had been con-
fusion of Dreyfus with others of the
same name who had been mixed up
with gambling and disreputabe fe-
male associates The latter reports
were not produced at the trial in 1894
M Ballot de Beaupre then pointed
out that Dreyfus could not have acted
as traitor from anger or disappoint-
ment, as he had the finest prospects of
an excellent military career. On the
other hand ESterhaZy, the reporter al
legged, was soldier of fortune, always
begging from the money lenders.
Continuing, the reporter refers to let
ters written by Esterhazy abusing
France and the French, this producing
a deep impression upon the audience
He referred to the letter written by
Esterhazy to Baron Rothschild, dated
June Il, 1894, to the effect that if his ap-
plication for money was refused he
would have no resource but to kill his
family and then to commit suicide
Such, said the reporter, was Ester
Nays language on the eve of the date
when the bordereau was placed" The
inference to be drawn was that Ester
haZy sought in treason resources neces-
sary to carry on life of dissipation.
At this point with the evident ap-
prevail of all who listened, M Ballot
de Beaupre quoted from M. Mornard' s
statement as follows: although
justice has been rendered more or less
impotent with regard to Esterhazy by
the latter's acquittal of being the au-
thor of the bordereau, it is none the
less the duty of the Supreme Court to
restore liberty to an innocent man I'M
justly condemned"
Prior to the adjournment M Ballot de
Beaupre read a letter from the British
general, Talbot, who, in 1894, was at
tached to the British Embassy in Paris
rectifying the deposition of General
Marquis de Gallifet. This letter reach
ed M. Mazeau through diplomatic chan
nels. In it General Talbot said that
Marquis de Gallifet had misinterpreted
his (Talbot's) words, as he had never
had personal relations with Esterhazy
in the way of espionage, but had simply
heard that Esterhazy's character was
well known to the foreign military at
tacheS.
The court adjourned at $50, when
very few of the public yet remained in
the vicinity. The Republican Guards
Immediately returned to barracks and
the Gordon of police was dispersed
