CHAMBERLAIN.

All the civilized world has its eyes now
fixed on England and on the Transvaal,
and thousands are watching with the
keenest interest every move that is made
in the great game by the two leaders
Sir Joseph Chamberlain for Great Britain
ana Dom Paul, chosen champion of the
sturdy Beers.
The tactics of the two men have been
In accordance with their character, and
also in accordance with the spirit Of the
nations, or rather Of the governments, of
which they are the Representatives.
"A quarter OF a century ago no one liv-
ing would have believed that Afr.. Cham
berlain would ever become famous as
oza Of the foremost exDoncnts CT Im-
sperialism. AT that time he was a good
deal of red republican. and he seems to
have cherished the belief that sooner. or
later a republic would surely take the
place Of a monarchy in England. He
even styled himself a communist. He adj
mitted that the word had an ugly sound,
but he pointed out that the leaders Of
the Paris Commune had fought for the
principles of self-govcrEment.s
Another singular fact Is that during
his early years In parliament the house OF
5commoEs was mainly busted with flle
Eastern question and with South Africa,
and on both these topics he went strong
slY against the Conservative government
As q member OF the Gladstone govern
ment OF 18SO-1SS5 he was also largely
accountable for the Convention OF Pres

KRUGER.

There IS no more picturesque figure on
the worlds stage to-day than the old
sman whom his friends and followers
knowas Dom Paul." and who is known
to official England and to the world at
large as President kruger, OF the Trans
Yaal republic-a truly notable man in
many respects, the like Of whom we are
not likely to see again. {
Endowed at birth with great physical
strength, and mental vigor, he ts now IN
his eightieth year, a picture OF a stall
az the w5om
sung. Great stories are told OF his yOurh-
ful prowess, and we can we'll believe
them. Even as a, hoy. he was as much
at hame on horseback as on foot and
there was no man in the sTransvaal who
was more skillful in handling rife or
shotgun. It is said that he could run
as fast as a horse, and that on one &C.
casion while galloping home he shot d
mad buffalo from his saddle without
drawing rein. In the same cool manner
he, frequently killed lions and other large
game with a single barrelled muzzle
loader. 5#
Physical pain never inspired in him any
fear. Many years ago one Of his fingers
was shattered by the explosion of his
gun, whereupon he straightway took out
his clasp knife and amputated It A short
time ago he suffered severely from tooth
ache, and instead of going to a dentist
! ne wrenched out the offending tooth with
his knife.
This wonderfully virile man became
president Of the Transvaal republic after
the treaty Of 1881, by which the Beers
obtained control of their internal affairs
and he has practically been suzerain Of
the country ever since. It is on him that
the Beers rely for resolute action in an
emergency like the present, and is sure
ly he who will take it most to heart If

OF the loving Beers, in a great, lumber
ing, covered carriage, drawn by q team
OF eight or ten horses.
The old man is frequently called upon
to decide questions of law and his decis-
ions are sometimes very quaint Thus.
two brothers who were disputing about
some property, asked: him on ono oc-
casion to arbitrate between Them and he
gave his decision in these words: ST de-

the dividing of the property, but also

still a youth by constantly attending a
Birmingham debating society AS re-

Gladstone and John Bright readily ac-

the other hand, his knowledge of the
world and especially of the world Of
commerce. Is unusually great. A sbusi-
ness man himself, he has all his life been
Interested in business enterprises, the re-
/ suit being that he has amassed great
deal Of money through investments in all
parts of the world. Much stress was laid
on this fact some time ago, when the
question arose as to the probability of Mr..
Chamberlain becoming premier. The very
idea of appointing a. business man, one
whose money had been made In trade, to
this lofty position shocked arfstocratic
old Tories, out there we're many others
who maintained that the time might come
when Mr.. Chamberlain would gain such q
position, even though Mr.. Balfour might
be his opponent. .s
Personally Mr. Chamberlain is rather a
striking figure. He has a nervous, mar
row face and his eyes are restless. He
dresses with scrupulous care and never
fails to have an orchid III HIS buttonhole.
Indeed, it is hard to imagine him with
out the flower or without his famous
monocle. He IS an indefatigable worker

It was precisely this question Of home

so he formed q party Of his own, r:.::e oh

A QUEEN OF DIAMONDS.
Emma Ray Possesses Marvellous
Collection of the Gems.

Emma Ray, The wife Of John Ray who
now is playing at the Academy in A HoC
Old Time, owns collection Of Jewels that
is Of interest not only through its magni-
tude. but because il was purchased OF Cas-
telberg, a Washington ieweIer. Miss Rays
appearance with these gems has earned
her the soubriquet Of The Queen OF Dia-
monds." 1t is said that her brilliant pos
sessions are worth over $4,000 and that
they include some OF the finest pieces OF
their kind in the world PromiueH- among
these is a heart-shaped ring set, valued at
50 Goethe only one in existence. Her ear
stones are supposed to be the largest in
the profession, being worth $1,000. A spray
that is the envy Of all behOIders represents
81 0O0 while tiara OF 500 diamonds IS
worth a kings ransom.
Mrs. Ray has all her own peculiar whims
about the gems and insists that they all
shall be of the same grade-a fine steel
blue Most OF her 'Jrinkets' have been
made 20 order from her own designs. The
fad Of diamond selection is great one
throughout the theatrical business and
many actresses possess magnificent c0llec-

tanning her reputation for supremacy in
this particular line.
