Boer President.
Mr.. Kruger has become, for n mo-
ment at least, the popular idol of ths
French. His triumphant progress
northwarA through the country from
Marsebies TO DIXON has placed this be-
yond doubt. lie met with a tremend-
u reception In each town where the
train stopped, eliminating in scenes
Of ~frenzied enthusiasm calculated to
turn the head of any man.
The population of Marseillies gath
cred In thousands to- escort him to the
station, and gave him a rous ing send
Oft, while Mt Tarascon, hvignon, Va
lence, Lyons, Macol and Dion the
inhabitants who crowded the railway
stations made the raftcrs tremble with
shouts of give Kruger" and "Vive
les Beers"
The warmth of the enthusiasm in
creased instead Of decreasing. as might
reasonably have been expected from
the difference In the character of the
inhabitants Of the provinces through
which Mr.. Kruger passed, but the
W. 'bfPo' "ht D''to'p WI NV ShhO
stration was the turn IL took in An
anti-Britisb direction.
This was caused by the ill-timed and
foolish levity of some E~nglishmen who
threw small coins into the crowd from
the balcony of "a hotel at Marseilles.
IL has caused n very stiff anti British
feeling, and fears are Expressed that at
the Paris reception this may assume n
character calculated to arouse the feel
ing of Great Britain against France to
such IN extent as to result in unpleas-
ant relations between the two coun-
tries.
The warmth of enthusiasm reached
has 2alpably raised the spirits Of Mr..
Kruger and his advisers to a high
pitch. The faces Of DR.. Leyds, Mr..
Fischer and others, who, on the arrival
of Mr.. Kruger, revealed the anxiety
they felt regarding his reception, were
lighted up with happiness and conf
dence. Evidently hope has revived in
all that his mission to Europe would
be crowned with success.

Promises N Sensation,

The Soirie Of Brussels, says Mr..
Kruger, on his arrival at The Hague,
will ask for mediation, and IL unsuc-
cessful he will make public all the
documents of state in his possession,
showing the secrets Of the war. The
paper adds that Mr.. Kruger believes
that when Europe knows the truth 1t
will produce such an outburst against
Great Britain that the country will be
less harsh. Failing in this Mr.. Kruger
will return TO the Transvaal.

Bailey stoutly protested his innocence,
averring that the blood stained money
had been paid him by Stephen Letton;
that he Bailey had plenty Of money
without resorting to robbery and muir

the best Of friends, and he could have
no motive to murder him. But, unfor
tunately for him, he was unable to
prove to the satisfaction Of the jury
where he had been on the night OF the
murder. He claimed to have stayed Al
a cabin on a byroad some distancs
from the main road which he had sci

be found. At his trial, which soon fol-

Mrs. Bailey never doubted her hus-
bands innocence, and after his incar-
ceration made repeated efforts to Sc
cure his pardon, but they we're OF no

A few years after the death Of her
husband Mrs. Bailey received a letter
bearing the postmark of San Fran

lie and a minister OF the gospel, and
it's contents were remarkable. 1t went
on to say that n Stephen Letton,
fatally wounded in a barroom brawl,

which he stated that he had wilfully
murdered a drover in Kentucky and
had caused the crime to be fastened

Shortly after this Mrs. Bailey's par

her days in solitude.

Finger Nails and Gentuity.

In China long finger nails are a
mark OF gentility. They are an indi-
cation that their ~possessor Is a man
OF leisure. When they are excessively
long. approaching the dignity of tai
ons, as they sometimes do, they indi-
cate that the gentleman-or ~lady-at-
tached to them has passed the mere
gentility line, and has become a full
ledged aristoerat. In AMMAN, where
the finger nail habit has persiS's ed for
hundreds spd perhaps thousands OF
years. these signs-manual OF extreme
gentility sometimes attain by care
full cultivation the length or six or
eight inches. and instances are on rec
ord where a length OF sixteen n
even eighteen inches has been at
tained.
This custom prevails generally
throughout what is known as indo-
China, which includes Siam. Burmah'
Cambodia. Laos ana the Shan states,
etc. II IL also common throughout the
