"'rhe social status of the Transvaal may
be summed up in a view
~ of each of the three
Transvaai' classes of people com
posing it's population.
The Beers are the
descendants of the original Dutch settlers.
They are the prOprietOrs of the government,
and guard their public Offices very jealousy
from the intrusion of foreigners. The Beers
know too well that foreigners would be in
possession of all the available Offices if they
got the loOphOle. The Beers. in fact. are a
degenerate class. when compared with their
ancestors, and the same degeneracy which
makes them inferior mentally makes them
less able to carry out a war than their faith
ers were before them. 1t would take some
time for them to become as accurate marks
men. or as reliable soldiers. Their fathers
lived in the open. and made hunting and
fighting their daily occupation, while today
more fighting goes on the streets of their
cities than ever goes on in the open.
"The cause of great deal of disturbance
in the South African Republic is the pres
ence of the Kaffiirs. who are maltreated, and
looked down upon by everybody The KAT
frs are the original natives, of the country,
and are brought down in large numbers
from lands north of the Transvaal to work
in the rich gold mines of the foreigners.
Agents make Il profitable business of secur-
ing labor from their cheftans whose word
is law in their own tribes. To do this. the
agent must go among the Katfirs and live as
one OF Them When the proper stage of
friendship has been reached the agent goes
to the chief and asks for a hundred men. If
he is successful. the chief orders them to go
with him and hire themselves out to the
owners OF whatever mine he may direct For
this the chief receives perhaps fifty cents Il
head. and the agent takes the hundred men
to the railway. conveys them to the most
promising mine owner. and turns them over
1T t"n dollars each. From that time on the
Natfir Receives weekly wages of seven dol
lars and half. but he is like a dog i'm city.
carrying Il license-tag with him wherever he
goes.
"The Kaffr is not allowed like other men
to walk on the sidewalks of Johannesburg.
He must stay in the streets, and iufracton

WHIPPLE'S CLOSE SHAVE.
One of the Men Whom Bullets or Fe-
vers Cannot Get,

vers Cannot Get.
was overjoyed the other day to meet
In Boston one of the noblest soldiers
whom the commonwealth sent out to
fight tlAe nations battles in Cuba-Mai.
X. A. Whipple of Adams and the Sec
ond, says the Boston Transcript. l had
not seen the major since had the good
fortune, on one wearisome day in the
Santiago campaign, to be able to intro
duce him to a sustaining Scottish bev-
erage which was freshly off one of the
press boats plying to jamaica. Maj.
Whipple, though veteran of the civil
war, and consequently not so young a
man as some who went out from the
State, outmarched, outworked and out
tasted all the young men in his regi-
ment. A soldier to the core, he filled
oil the regulars who met him, as l had
occasion to know, with high respect for
the sort Of officers which Massachu-
setts sometimes puts into the field.
l have spoken Of Maj. Whipple as a
veteran of the civil war. A tragedy of
patriotism hangs by that circumstance.
After serving his country well as a
young man In that war, he went out
again promptly to this one, and this
time he took with him his son in his
own regiment. The son lost his life in
the terrible Santiago campaign, but the
father came back again; he Is alive and
reports himself we'll to-day, insisting
that he is none the worse for his two
wars. There are some men whom neith-
or bullets nor fevers can get at. They
can come near them, but they cannot
touch. l have story of the major to
prove this.
When the Second Massachusetts was
under fire before Santiago and the men
were lying fiat on the ground, Maj.
Whipple stood up looking through a
field glass at the enemy-and he made
a good mark, for he Is six feet high and
Droad-shouldered. AS he was peering
thus something struck him in the face
and eyes with such force and violence
that for the moment the major had no
sort of doubt he had been killed. The
missile, whatever It was, stung like
fire and one Of his eyes palned him as
If it had been pierced. He put his hands
to his face, took them away and looked
at them. There was no blood. Then
he looked around wonderingly, as much
as to say: "What was it?" A soldier
was able to answer the question. Here
1t Is, major" he said, and he picked up
a chip that Mauser bullet had clipped
off tree close by and brought along
with it. The bullet could not touch the
major with the charmed life, but II
spitefully flung the chip in his face as II
passed by.
