A KRUGER TALK.
[Rv cable 10 The Associated PRESS ]

TBy Cable to The Associated Press
MANCHESTER, Eng, Sept. Z, 1S99.-The
special correspondent of the Guardian at
Pretoria a well known writer on social
economics and of anti-imperialistic ten-
deneies, cables to his paper an interview
he has had with President Kruger Of
the Transvaal Republic. He quotes him
as saying he had always sought to induce
foreigners in the Transvaal to undertake
citizenship but that they had tried to get
its privileges without accepting It's bur-
dens.
Continuing, President Kruger said
in 1881, when numbers could nave
taken Burghership, they chose 70 regis
ter as British subjects. Protesting, IN leso
against being commandered for the kaf-
fir War, Sir Henry Loeb tnow Baron
Henry Loeb, who was Governor OF cape
Colony and High Commissioner Of Souln

wish to become Bufghers, SO the hdad ex-
empted them.
The correspondent added that he also
inferviewed General Joubert, Command
er-in-Chief of the Transvaal forces and
Vice President OF the South African Re-
public who took gloomy view OF the
Situation, expressing his conviction that

GARDEN CITY HOTEL BURNED
Guests Got Out Safely and
Tried to Save the
Building.

NEW YORK, Sept. Z, 18s9-The Garden
City Hotel at Garden City, L. l., is now
burning. All the 160 guests got out in SAT-
ETY.. The volunteer fire departments of
the neighboring towns are endeavoring
to save the building from total destruc-
tion. Already damage of $4,000 has been
done.
The building. which belongs to the A.
T. Stewart estate, cost 500, 900 and the
furnishings 10000. The estate carried its
own insurance.
The fire broke out in the upper part of
the hotel about o'clock this morning.
The hotel attendants aroused such guests
as were still in their rooms. The fire
companies tried to confine the fire to the
upper part. of the building. The water
thrown into the upper stories damaged
much of the furnishings which could not
be removed.
AS far as can be learned the fire orig
mated from a defective fue. At 10 A.
NJ. the fire was still burning but there
seemed to be chance of saving the low
er portion of the structure and the loss
so far is between $4,000 and $4,000.
The Garden City Hotel was one of the
finest structures of the kind on Long
Island. The building was of brick, three
stories high, and accommodated about 80
or 300 guests. The hotel was fitted up es-
pecially to attract fall and winter guests.
The busy season of the house was begin
ming.
Later 1t was evident that the hotel
would prove total loss. The entire
structure became enveloped in flames.
The efforts of score or more volunteer
fire companies to confine the fire to the
upper stories proved unavailing because
OF a scarcity Of water.
The burned hotel was situated in the
centre of park of 80 acres which is
beautifully laid out with floral beds, foun-
tains, driveways, etc. When the late A.
T. Stewart founded Garden City he built
a comparatively small hotel on the site
of the burned structure. This remained
until few years ago when the Stewart
estate remodeled the hotel into modern
structure. With this in view the Gar
den City Hotel Company was organized.

AL|MONY DECREE VOID.
Vice Chancellor Emery
Makes an Important
Decision in a Divorce
Suit.

Vice Chancellor Emery filed a decision
today which has an important bearing
upon divorce cases where the defendant
is out of the State. He held that decree
taken when the defendant has been
served by publication out of the State Is
a decree fixing a personal liability or OBJ
legation without due process of law and
is therefore void under the Federal Com
stitution
Henry L. Elmendorf, who is now Pub
he Librarian of Buffalo. and Louisa Ten
Eyck were married in New Brunswick
in 1879. Two years later EImendorf left
his wife saying that owing to her un-
governable temper he was unable to live
with her. In 1887 Mrs Elmendorf filed
bill for divorce upon the ground of deser
ton, and hearing that her husband was
in Missouri, she had him served by pub
lication. He paid no attention to the suit
and Mrs. Elmendorf was awarded a de-
cree giving her the divorce, the custody
of her child, a daughter, and Sc a week
alimony
Her husband never paid her any ALI
mony and managed to keep out of the
way. By chance she learned last spring
that he was in Europe and would soon
return to this country. Mrs. EImendorf
had the steamship wharves in Hoboken
carefully watched. and when Elmendorf
landed there on March 13 she had him
arrested on writ of ne exeat He was
taken to the County Jail and released
after depositing $1,000 cash bail
He employed Senator Allan L. McDer-
mott 70 contest the writ and Mr.. Nc
Dermott entered the plea that the arrest
was Imprisonment for debt which was
contrary to The State Constitution, and
that the decree deprived him of his liberty.
without due process of law.
The Vice Chancellor took Mr.. McDer-
mott's view of the case. and in his de-
cision says: When the defendant is a
non resident at the time of the com
mencement of the proceedings for divorce
and is not served within the State, and
does not appear. my conclusion Is that
decree for alimony based soly on service
by publication, or out of the State, is
decree fixing personal liability or obli-
cation without due process of law, and is
therefore void under the Federal Con-
stitution. Inasmuch as the Federal Con-
stitution as construed by the Supreme
Court of the United States is binding
upon States as well as Federal Courts,
decree which is void under that Con-
stitution may, on the authority of that
decision, be scollaterally attacked in the
State courts"

MARCH HEALTH NOTES.

Painting fits are due to imperfect
circulation of OF the blood, which may
be due to nervous affections or to
dyspeptic troubles. Many who are
troubled by them can be cured by q
simple course of treatment for the
lungs.
Coffee, when too strong, is an active
poison. When used as stimulant it
is almost as Objectionable as alcohol.
1t is especially bad for pale-faced OF
bilious people. If one feels that he
must have breakfast coffee, it should
be made after the French plan-two
thirds hot milk.
Lemon juice is a powerful germi.
eide. Strong hot lemo made is an
excellent drink for ono suffering from
cold in the head, grip and kindred all
ments.
Bad teeth are more frequently due
to imperfect digestion than to any
other cause. The teeth of q chile
should be regularly examined and
treated from the time it is two or
three years old.
The head should be washed fire.

Lent and the Ladies.

The observing OF Lent is doomed f;
the women OF the Four Hundred in
New York have given it up. Every
woman, however humble her origin,
believes that there is blue blood in her
veins and takes great deal of inter-
est in the doings of the Four Hundred.
1t is the women who pay respect to
Lent. The men never paid the slight
est attention to it.
But now that the women of the
Four Hundred have dropped it, look
out for the women of the Seventy
Million to drop it.. All the little "trip
perry things that women wear come
from the Four Hundred. The maga-
zines describe the ways of the -Four
Hundred, and the women of the Sew
enty Million try to act like them. We
don't understand why they should,
but they do. Men don't care what
the men of the Four Hundred do and
never try to act like them. If a mans
father was shoemaker he says so and
never pretends that he was an exiled
nobleman,

A Shining Mark.

A lady, grievously tormented with q
corn on her toe, was advised by one Of
her friends to annoint it with phospho-
rus, which in a weak moment she did
but forgot to tell her husband before
retiring at night. 1t had just turned
IL when the husband awoke, and was
startled TO see something sparkling at
the foot OF the bed.
He had never heard of FREELY in
the locality, nor did he ever remember
seeing such terrible looking object as
the toe presented. Reaching carefully
out of bed till he found one of his
slippers he raised it high in the air
and brought it down with great force
upon the mysterious light.
A shrek and an avalanche OF bed
clothes, and all WAS over. When at
last he released himself from the bed
clothes, he discovered his wife groan-
ing in a corner of the bedroom, and
carefully nursing that phosphorated
corn.

A Perfect Floral Elysium.

(From an article by John Muir in the Allan.
| tic Monthly for January. 1898. entitled "The
Wild Parks and Forest Reservations of the
West.'O
= The Mount Rainier forest reserve
should be made a national park and
guarded while yet its bloom is on; for
if in the making of the West nature
had what we call parks in mind
places for rest, inspiration and prayer
this Rainier region must surely be
one of them. In the center of it there
is lonely mountain capped with ice !;
from the ice cap glaciers radiate, in
every direction, and young rivers from
the glaciers; while its flanks sweeping
down in beautiful curves, are clad
with forests and gardens, and filled
with birds and animals. Specimens
of the best of natures treasures have
been lovingly gathered here and ar
ranged in simple symmetrical beauty
within regular bounds.
Of all the fire.mountains which, like
beacons, once blazed along the Pacific
coast, Mount Rainier is the noblest in
form, has the most interesting forest
cover, and, with perhaps the exception
OF Shasta, is the highest and most
flowery. Its massive white dome rises
out of It's forests, like a world by it.
self, to height of 14,000 to 5000
feet. The forests reach to height of
a little over 5000 feet, and above the
forests there is a zone of the loveliest
flowers, fifty miles in circuit and
nearly two miles wide, so closely
planted and luxuriant that it seems as
if nature, glad to make an open space
between woods so dense and ice 60
deep, were economizing the precious
ground, and trying to see how many
of her darliugs she can get together in
one mountain wreath, daisies, ane-
mones, geraniums, columbines, cry
throniums, larkspurs, ETC., among
which we wade knee deep and waist
deep, the bright corsllas in myrisds
touching petal to petal. Picturesque
detached groups Of the spiry Ables
sub.alpina stand like islands along the
lower margin Of the garden zone,
while ON the upper margin there are
extensive beds of bryanthus, cassiope,
kalmia, and other heath worts, and
higher still saxifrsges and drabas,
mere and more slowly, reach up to
the edge Of the ice. Altogether this is
the richest sub-alpine garden I ever
found-a perfect floral elysium. The
icy dome needs none OF mans care,
but unless the reserve is guarded the
flower bloom will soon be killed, and
nothing of the forests will be left but
black stump monuments.

The Cost Of War.

A nation with unlimited credit and
power of taxation limited only by the
willingness of the people to pay taxes
only considers the cost of war in con.
nection with the magnitude of opera
tions. If the United States were en-
gagged in war with nation of the first
rank it would look upon an extra ex-
penditure of $5OO,OOO,OOO year as in
keeping with the work in hand. But
the statement of Chairman Cannon of
the Committee on Appropriations that
the cost OF the war with Spain
amounts to $4S2, ,526,OS3.S7 comes as
an unpleasant surprise. 1t is a large
expenditure in view of the small oper.
ations. The entire force in active
service was insignificant in compari-
son with the armies maintained dur
ing the civil war, and yet for the Pc
riod of active hostilities the one was
about as costly as the other.
The lesson Of this statement is that
the United States must study the SCI
ence of war from a more economical
point of view. A protracted war
under our present system would pile
up gaeater national debt than any
nation now owes. The great European
powers incur comparatively light ex-
pcnse when they set THAR armies in
motion. 1t is true they have the ma.
chinery Of war constantly in hand,
while in our late war we had to call
for volunteers; but the pay Of all the
volunteers mustered into the service
is insignificant when compared with
the total expenditure.
There is no occasion for alarm over
the Filipino war. It is more likely
than not that the commissioners who
have just arrived at Manila will fix up
terms OF peace within sixty days. If,
unfortunately, the war should be con-
tinued, it will, according to estimate,
call for an army of about 10000 men.
Probably $l0O,OO0,OOO n year will
cover the increased cost of the army
and navy over the peace basis of ex-
penses. But the imperial policy
which is more or less distinctly out
lined, exposes the United States to
much greater dangers than are likely
to arise from war with the Filipinos.

THE PRICE OF PEPPER.
It Helped to Change the History Of the Old
World.

LODuOn Sthnudru.
In the sixteenth century all the
pepper consumed in England was
bought by the English merchants from
the Dutch, who brought it from India.
Owing to racial jealousy, the Dutch
traders in 1899 raised the cost from 3
shillings to 6 shillings per pound.
This petty display of i'll feeling caused
considerable annoyance to the Eng
lish merchants and aroused in them
that feeling Of independence which
has always been so characteristic of
our race.
They determined to import their
pepper direct from India in their own
ships, and for this purpose formed a
company, called the Governor and
Company of Merchants of London
Trading to the East Indies, and which
in latter days became eventually
known as the East India company.
Their first voyages embroiled them
in almost innumerable quarrels with
the Dutch and Portuguese, and for a
time the venture proved a financial
failure. 1t was not until 1915 that
the company became successful and
obtained lucrative treaties, owing to
their decisively defeating the Portu-
guese.
From this time on their possessions
gradually increased, slowly at first,
and then very rapidly, until, by the
wise and beneficial management OF
such men as Give, Warren Hastings
and CORVALLIS, they exercised sover-
eighty over the greater portion of
India.
In this manner it happened that an
increase in the price of pepper mo-
mentously affected the history of man.
kind.
