TRUE PROGRESS.

Only one death in the whole
army in Cuba is a remarkable rec
ord for September %, in the sea-
son usually most dangerous for
unacclimated northern troops.
Nor is it mere freak of fortune,
for the death rate has been so low
during the entire summer as to eX-
cite surprise, 1t is the effect of
civilized and scientific methods of
government, which Cuba has never
before known, and which prove a
daily blessing to the inhabitants,
even more than to the garrisons.
Heroism under fire is always
honored But it is not more hon
orable to the nation nor does it
call for higher qualities of manhood
in the individual, than the warfare
against disease and pestilence in
city which has been neither cleaned
nor drained for centuries. The
American who risks his life and
spends nights and days in fighting
to save a people from disease may
do more for his flag and his coun-
try than one who only fights to
kill, The glory which the American
army is gaining in Cuba required,
first, the heroism which destroyed
the Spanish fleet and drove a
Spanish army from the island, but
that would shine but family had
not the same American army
known how to deserve the conf
dence and good will of the people
by wisdom and devotion to their
welfare in the work of governing,
If the record goes on as it has be-
gun, if Cuban Liberation is fol-
lowed by Cuban emancipation
from barbarism of past misrule,
Tho United States will have
achieved higher honor and a more
complete conquest than has been
gained on any field of battle. New

A PRUDENT HOUSEWIFE.
Mrs. Kruger Attends to All Details of
Her Homo establishment.

Mrs. Kruger Attends to All Details of
Her Homo establishment.
Mrs. Kruger, the wife of the presi-
dent of the Transvaal republic, does
her own cooking, although her hus-
band is twenty-five times a million
aire. The husband, who is of frugal
disposition, not only approves of his
wife's supervision of the kitchen work,
but says that 1t is her duty to do the
work in order to save expense. Not
only does Mrs. Kruger cook. but she
frequently washes the clothing of the
family and scrubs and rolls the clothes
with the skill and strength OF the best
of them. She also insists upon max
ing her own beds. This may be be-
cause ''the Kruger" needs a very trou-
bled pillow, a sheet without wrinkle,
to ease him from the arduous duties of
scheming to make empires and mil
lions, but If she does the rest of the
hard work 1t is probable she makes the
bed to also save the penny-or what
ever the money is in that land. When
there are guests at the presidential ta-
BILE, Mrs. Kruger personally waits upon
them. This duty she will not intrust
10 servant, for she says her hus-
bands guests must be served Just as If
they were at their own tables. She
may be stingy in other things, but is
liberal to fault in what she sets be-
fore friends. Every plate is heaped
with the best of well-cooked food, ev-
cry glass is kept full to the brim with
choice wine. It is the pride of "Auntie''
Kruger that her household expenses
never exceed the sum appropriated by
the volksraad. $4,000 year Not a
cent of the presidents salary is ever
used. II goes into the bank or into
investments known to be safe and pro-
ductive, and unless the pending war
with England results disastrously, the
boer executive will be one of the rich
est men in South Africa before he dies.

They are free, they are freer shout
ed the people, and they tried to
break through the military Gordon
to reach their loved ones.
But alas! the sentence read, TO
be hung until they are dead, and
the executioner demanded his sac
rifices. The gallows is once more
erected. This time grim Death
claims his own. And now came
the final scene. With wringing
hands and streaming eyes, mothers
and sisters begged the command
ing officers for the bodies, to give
them Christian burial, but the an
swer was. No, they must be buried
under the pallows.' The Beers
went home, mourning for their
friends and loved ones; no more
talk of resistance. But every man,
woman and child left the place of
unholy slaughter with a wounded
soul, and one and all registered a
silent vow.
"'We will never forget Slagter's
Nekp
"There, on that tragic occasion,
was sown the seed of the bitter
race hatred which today makes
life so different to us. American
citizens, and men and women of
all nations, | appeal to you, can
you blame us if we cannot forget
Slagter's Mex?
"And so. by such means as the
framing of laws which put the
blacks first and the whites last,
and by policy of suppression and
hatred, the English succeeded in
forcing us to trek from the colony
and seek for freedom across the
Vaal and Orange rivers. On leav-
ing the colony the pioneers may
be, roughly speaking, said to have
gone in three directions: One
party to Natal, another to the Free
State and the third to the Trans
vaal.
