kRUGER'S CHARACTER.
Some Personal Peculiarities of the Stub.
born South African.

The personal habits of President Kru-
ger as described in the South Bend
Tribune are extremely simple. He
never takes strong drink himself, but
has said that he believed God gave
man strong drink to use, and that there
is no harm in it's moderate use. AL
though fairly wealthy he lives the or
binary life of a well-to-do Afrikander,
indulging neither in ostentation nor
festivities. To poor burghers he has
lent money without any security, know
ing, as he said, that they were honor
able men. In character Dom Paul is
stiff necked-obstinate some say-and
full of hardihood. This quality he has
displayed on many occasions. During
the war of independence, with only a
small escort, he rode into the kraal of
Kaffir chief who was making trouble
for the Beers, and, though he ran great
risk of being attacked, seized him by
the neck. The result of the interview,
begun under such unusual circum-
stances, was that the chief remained
quiet during the rest of the year.
While still youth his gun, which he
had overloaded in order to make sure
of rhinoceros he was hunting, burst
and shattered the top of his left thumb.
Before he could get assistance the
wound began fostering, for he was far
distant from surgical help, and threat
ened modification. He thereupon am
putated the thumb at the first joint
with pocket}<nife, but finding the first
operation insufficient he cut off the sec
ond, after which the hand healed. AS
his biographer says:
THE man who could do this is not
the man to be easily frightened" Many
stories are told illustrating his strength
of will and endurance, of racing con-
tests with Kaffirs, whole day, and his
personal strength in struggles with an
imals. AS to his place in history. Mr..
Van Oordt says Paul Kruger has been
compared with Washington, with Lin
coin, and even with Ulysses and
Butcher, and many other illustrious
historical personages. 1t sounds well.
says the state historian, but the fact
remains that he can be compared with
no one The circumstances of his
bringing up. those in which he has
gained his influence, and ruled over
his people for is years. have been so
exceptional that Paul Kruger can be
compared with no other historical char
acter To the Dutch of South Africa
he is simply Paul Kruger, man OF
themselves, born into their troubles
and tribulations, who has contributed
to their triumphs, and is now, in his
last years, steering them through new
dangers.

New York, Aug. 5.-A dispatch to the
World from Hong Kong says: AguInaldo
has an advisory council right in Manila.
Hong Kong having been made too hot for
the F'ilipinos through the efforts of Con-
sui General Whitman, the rebels decided
to establish headquarters In Manila. They
were encouraged to try this daring eX-
pertinent by the fact that under recent
decree of Governor General Otis the Phil

of the junta went boldly TO Manila and
professed friendship for Otis. The scheme

At COlulnbus.

Columbus. Ohio, Aug. 5.-The postponed
races, which were to have been held to-
dar at the Columbus Driving park, were
prevented by rain. The judges decided to
call off entirely the 22l pace and the 2;2O
trot, while the unfinished 2:14 trot, of
which four heats were trotted last night,
was called a race, and the purse divided
according to the position the horses held.
The effect of this decision was to give
Success first place. Surpol, the heavily
backed favorite, second place, Charles
Hrrr third and Senator l.. fourth. All
bets are to go according to the division
of the purse.
Warren Stone, who had backed Surpol
for 5000 against the field, claims that the
race was jobbed and has filed a suit
against Bride & Fitch, who controlled the
IA action pools, to recover his money

GOLD CERTIFICATES.
Ten Millions of Them Have Been Ordered
Printed.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The treasury de-
partment to-day made requisition upon
the bureau of engraving and printing for
the printing of 100000 in gold certiti-
Gates in denominations of 800 each. The
treasurer now holds large unissued sup
ply of certificates of the larger denomi-
nations. 1t is the evident intention OF
the treasury department to be in posi-
ton to issue gold certificates freely for
gold coin, should the fall movement of
currency lead to a demand at the treas
ury for gold certificates in exchange for
gold coin.
1t is to be noted that while gold coins
can be freely had in denominations of
fives and tens, the law restricts the issue
of gold certificates to denominations of 500
or multiples thereof
