WALLS PLAsrERED WITH COINS

Singular conoeit of New Jersey
Woman Numismatist.
From the Philadelphia Record: Miss
Dentz of Dentzville. N. j., a suburb of
Trenton, has probably the largest col
lection of coins in New Jersey. Some
OF them are many hundred years old,
and they represent the currencies of
nearly every country in the world.
Some idea of the size of the collection
may be gathered from the fact that the
ceiling of Miss Dentz' boudoir is COM
pletely covered with United States
money, while the four walls are hidden
behind coins of Asiatic, European, At
rican and South American countries.
There is considerable history attached
to this collection, especially to the Eng
lish coins. which were found near
princeton in a queer-shaped hat by one
of Miss Denz' relatives while in search
of minerals. The hat is similar in
shape to those worn by the Hessan
soldiers during the revolution, and is
still in Miss Dentz' possession. There
are many valuable coins in her coll
lection and were she to convert them
all into present American currency
they would yield quite a snug sum-

England and the English colonies
The Boer was in great straits be-
tween his desire to make money off
of these 'outlanders' who were
fiocking into his country, stalking
claims. sinking shafts, building
towns and buying his produce at
fabulous prices, and his desire to
remain as he and his fathers be-
fore him had been. neither rich
nor poor, but free, absolutely free,
unprogressive. with no golden
spur in his flank But he had too
much good, thrifty Dutch blood in
his veins not to desire ardently the
golden eggs, although he clearly
saw the retaining of the goose that
laid them was attended with the
gravest menace to the independ-
ence of his republic.
THE FRANCHISE.
In this strait President Kruger
devised system of disfranchis-
ments that would do credit to Sen
ator Tillman and South Carolina
constitutional convention He did
not want to get rid of the Out
landers until they had brought all
the gold to the surface, for the
Beers are not very successful as
miners, then he hoped theirstrong
disgust of everything in the Trans
vaal would soon relieve the repub-
lie of their presence-in the mean
time the Outlanders must enjoy
the blessings of taxation without
representation. Mr. Kruger was
between two dangers, both of them
very real and very near. If he
gave the Outlanders the suffrage
they would take the country away
from the Beers by ballot, as they
we're in the majority; if he did not
give them the ballot their in
cessant appeals and protests were
very liable to cause England to
take it over by the sword In Ell
ther case the British residents have
had everything to gain and the
strongest motives for stirring up
strife. OF these two dangers that
of appeasing England by specious
promises of reform, which he could
ignore when the danger was past,
seemed the least Mr.. Kruger may
be stubborn, but he certainly is
not stupid. He knew the English
man was at disadvantage in ask
ing the British Colonial Secre airy
to allow him to renounce his allie
glance to the British crown and
force another nation to accept him
MS citizen, and so he has not on
ly withheld the ballot from the
Outlander, but treated him pretty

Why Dewey Cut the Manila Cable,

Being asked by an intimate
friend if he cut the cable between
Manila and Hongkong, not to shut
off the Spaniards from home orders
but rather to get beyond quick
reach of the United States Navy
Department, Dewey suavely said:
"We had no apparatus for cabling
on board ship. But even if We
could have obtained it the cable
company would have been obliged
to refuse to receive or transmit
MESA res in that way. 1t could
have afforded to do anything that
would enable the Spaniards in
case they returned to power in
Manila after the war-to withhold
payment Of their subsidy. Don't
you think these reasons are good
enough? Ladies Home Journal.

THE GREAT "TREK.'
"Unable to fight and unwilling
to be deprived of his slaves, the
Boer withdrew from the colony.
Gathering all his household effects
into his great wagon, drawn by
from twelve to twenty oxen, he be-
gan his first great trek into the
trackless wilderness of the interior.
Here he met, not the tiny Hotten-
tots of the Cape, but great, strap
ping Kaffirs, six feet tall, the finest
race in Africa, swarming out in
countless hosts to repel the invad-
ers. But the savage assegai was
no match to the Boer rifle, and
though in constant danger and sew
eral times almost annihilated, the
individual Boer families squatted,
farmed, fought and multiplied un-
til they were numerous enough to
form two small sister republics,
the Orange Free State and the
Transvaal. Imagine their feelings
when England followed them with
her scepter and declared their re-
publics British colonies, and they
themselves British subjects. This
led to fierce remonstrance, which
finally eliminated in armed pro-
test at Majuba Hill, when in De
ccmber, 1880, the Beers rose in
rebellion and administered a
crushing defeat to the British.
Ii is true. England then had the
pucky little republic in her power
and could have crushed it had she
chosen to do so. She would prob
ably have done so had anyone but
Mr.. Gladstone been prime minis
ter He, as he said, to save the
country from their blood guilt
ness, restored the Transvaal to the
Boer intact, and the burghers were
given complete self-government,
subject to the suzerainty of Her
Majesty
THE DISCOVERY OF GOLD.
"The Beers now imagined their
troubles at an end and began lion
izing the young Dutch statesman,
Paul Kruger, who had been chiefly
instrumental in beating off the
British lion from his deadly clutch
on the flanks of the Dutch OK.
The Transvaal probably would
have remained in peace and indie
pendence, ms her sister, the Orange
Free State is, had not some un-
lucky miner in the. year 1884
put pick into a ledge of gold
bearing quartz reef forty miles
long! We know, from our
Venezuelan experience, it is a dan
gerous thing to find gold too near
to British territory, That rich
ledge of rock may yet prove to be
the golden coffin in which. after
fifty stormy years of life, the indie
pendence of the Transvaal republic
may finally be inferred. Immedi
ately upon the discovery of gold
adventurers and gold diggers from
everywhere began pouring into the
Transvaal. All Europe sent its
quota, some came from Amer
ica, but the majority came from
