The craze for Kruger coins and
stamps has been SO pronounced that a
complete set is not now to be had In
the regular market. A SLIPS piece Is
rated at $3.50. and what is known as
an extraordinary" crown at $50. This
is because in 1892 the die makers gave
the bullock-wagon shafts, instead of a
pole Tor disselboom.) All coins from
half-sovereigns downward were 60

THIRD PARALYTIC STROKE.


DUBUQUE, Ia, March 3.-At 1 o'clock
this morning Archbishop Hennessy re-

hardly possible that he can last much
longer.

his studies in Ireland. he COM
pleted them in ST. Louis and was ordained
priest Nov. 1, 1850, by Archbishop Kenrick.
Then he was successfully professor of the
ology, vice president and president of the
old diocesan seminary at Carondelet.
Thence he was transferred to st. Joseph,
where he spent six years in hard
missionary work. He was conse-

Early in his ministray he founded the

The union had requested the Duke of Nor
folk TO interrogate the Holy Sec In relation
to the anti-British tone taken by the Os-
servatore Romano in commenting on the
Boer war. The paper Is supposed TO be
the Pope's official organ, receiving finan-
cial subsidy from him. The Duke of Nor
folk wrote: ITO us ii seems very grievous
that any opportunity should be given to
any one TO persuade the British people
that the Holy See regards them with hos
tility or dislike. / cannot deny that an
impression of this sort Is creeping into the
public mind When IL is remembered that
Catholics are in the minority in Great

the great majority.
To which Cardinal Rampolla cordially re-
piled that the Osservatore Romano only
printed one column which was official, and
this was devoted to religious news, adding
his refusal to accept responsibility for any
political views IL might express, and de-
claring that the holy Father always cher
ishes for England that lively special in
terest which he has already found many
occasions of displaying" and that 'as the
vicar of the God of peace he desires moth
ing more earnestly than cessation of the
actual state of things which costs the En-
glish nation many victims"
Lord Herries, discussing the correspond
ence at a meeting of the union. declared
that in religious matters the English
Catholics implicitly obeyed the Pope, but
when IL came to civil government they took
their places side by side with their fellow
countrymen.
The Times. commenting upon the patriot
ism of the. many titled persons and others
who were present at the meeting, said: 1T
is pity that Cardinal Rampolla did not
speak out palmer. in view of the fact that
the subsidized Osservatore Romano, all the
world over. is supposed TO represent the
Pope's personal opinions"

SCOUTS TRICK A BOER.
How Colonials Played 'POssum and

NEW YORK, March ga correspondent
of the London Daily Mail writes from
Modder river follows: 1.-The Australians
and Canadians have lately taken to
game which. / believe, Americans call
playing possum.' To the uninitiated may
remark that 1t means pretending to be
dead. A short time ago four scouts were
out patrolling, and. seeing Boer, tried
to stalk him. But do what they could they
could not get up to him. At last they
separated and surrounded him a kopje,
where tie Boer could shoot without being
seen. They approached to within 500 yards,
and then, after short council, turned to
ride away. Immediately a shot rang out
and one scout fell off his horse in a heap.
The other three wheeled round; there was
another shot and another scout lay on the
ground The remaining two Immediately
started galloping in opposite directions.
Two more shots and the remaining two
were lying on the ground.
1.-The Boer. greatly elated at his mar
velous shooting, came out from behind his
rock and commenced dancing a fandango.
Four shots rang out simultaneously, and
before the Boer had had time TO even
pacitated from taking any further part in
It. The four scouts mounted their horses,
and bordering deeply over the frailty Of
human life returned to camp.
'I rode down to Belmont couple of
days ago and had a look at the Canadians
and Queenslanders, who are quartered
there. They are all in excellent health and
spirits and seem to be just about hungry
