President kruEer's Fortune.
rom the London Mail

Those who are in the habit of thinking
of Mr.. Kruger as a mere farmer may be
surprised to hear that he is a millionaire
at least once. How many times over that
nice round sum has accumulated in his
savings it is impossible to say.
To begin with, he has the handsome SAL
airy as president of $1,000 year, together
with coffee allowance, which is supposed
to be his entertaining money, Of f3D0 a
year. Being of a frugal turn of mind, Mr..
Kruger has for many years past lived on
his coffee money, while out of his presi-
Dental salary and 'perquisites'' he Is be-
lieved to have succeeded in saving about
ESQ, 600 a year.
Over and above this Mr. Kruger has
many indirect sources of income. 1t has
been shown that he has a very large in
terest in the Netherlands railway, while
he is also directly concerned in the con-
sumption of dynamite, as well as several
other flourtshing monopolies.
Mr.. Kruger owns over 100 farms in differ
ent parts of the Transvaal. Some are pro-
ductive, others are not. For instance, in
the Rustenberg district many of the best
tobacco-growing farms are his, and the
lessees pay him very handsome rents.
His gold-mining farms have also brought
him in goodly amount. few he has sold
to the hated Uitlander capitalist, others
he retains, or hopes to retain.
Comparatively recently farm he had
held for some years was foated into a
gold-mining company, and although his
name does not appear in the list of share
holders he received almost the whole of
the purchase price in cash. 1t is said that
many of the Transvaal presidents safest
investments have been made in Holland
and Germany. He is likewise reported to
be a heavy holder of German consols and
French rentes.
Personally, Mr.. Kruger is not generous
individual, despite his great wealth. At
the time of the dreadful dynamite explo-
sion in Johannesburg few years ago the
Uitlander firms subscribed a magnificent
total not far short of $4,000 to alleviate
the distress of the families whose bread
winners were killed.
All the victims were either poor Beers,
natives or Cinnamon; literally not one Eng
lishman suffered. Mr.. Kruger was asked
for subscription. and promised EDS. His
name was put down on the subscription list
for that sum, but despite continual dun
ming on the part of the secretary the SUBJ
.scription was never forthcoming.

before 1t was killed attacked several per-
sons and animals. biting Andrew Ellis OF

the dog and it was afterward killed and
Its body sent to DIR. K. G. Schroeder super
intendent of the experiment station. DIR.
Norgaard made an examination of the
body, and with portions of the BRAIN
Eocuiated a number of rabbits. all of which
developed typical rabies after twelve or
fourteen days and died in two or three days
thereafter.
The bitten animal belonging to Mr.. Brooke
was sent by him April 10 to the experiment
station and has been watched closely ever
since. Early last evening she displayed
signs Of nervousness, and at 3 o. clock yes
terday morning developed violent symptoms.
These increased. until at 10 o clock the mare
was in continuous commissions. The
in her stall was a terrible one. She dashed
out with her feet In all directions. breaking
through in several spots the heavy board
sides. and in place kicking off the
Notwithstanding of the outside of the
stable, her stall being next to the wall.
She fendishly bit her leg which the dog had
attacked and chewed it raw for several
inches. Then she would rub her nose saw
agely against the sides of the stall. She
was constantly biting at the air. and the
clash of her teeth could be heard for sew
eral yards. These paroNysms kept up until
death relieved her at two minutes past l.
o'clock. Among those who watched this
awful struggle were: J. w. Wilson pri-
vate secretary to the Secretary of Agrl-
culture: DR.. Schroeder. Dr. Norgaard, Or.
AlonZo d. D. Melvin. assistant chief of the
bureau of animal industry; Messrs. Howe
and Wilbur of the District of Columbia
health department, and others. District
Commissioner Ross, Poundmaster Einstein
and Humane Officer Rabbit arrived shortly
after the animal died.
A post-mortem was held and 1t was found
that the flesh under the skin where the
poor beast had bitten herself had been
chewed to a jelly. Portions of the brain
will be used to inocuate rabbits.
DIR. Noorgaard. who performed the au-
topsy, stated today that the result of the
post mortem confirmed the original dag
nosis of rabies in every particular.

VACANCIES CAUSED BY
DONALDSON'S REMOVAL,

r. A. Donaldson, late secretary of
the Home Building and Loan associa-
ton, left Saturday evening for St.
Louis, with the expectation of making
that city his home. AS stated Satur-
day. the affairs of the Home associa-
ton will be looked after, until new
secretary is elected. by President
Maucker. who has called a meeting of
the stockholders Wednesday evening,
Oct. 8. when the present officers and
directors will resign and give the
stockholders the opportunity to reor-
ganize the official board.
MIR. Donaldson's removal from the
city will of course necessitate the
the board of education, of which he
was likewise secretary President
Marshall will call meeting of the
board soon to act upon the selection
of successors to both Messrs. Donald
son and Roth, the latter having re-
signed at the last meeting because of
inirmities in his hearing. 1t is with
in the province of the board to fill
the vacancies if it can be done SO with
harmony, and this is what President
Marshall hopes may be done and
thereby save expense of an election
now. 1t is understood there are al
ready a number of self-announced
candidates for the vacancies, and it
seems to THE ARGUS to be TO the best
interests of all that the board should
give no consideration to personal am
billions, but select citizens who, ac-
cording to the best judgment of all
the mem bers, will fill the important
positions with ability and credit.
The insurance business heretofore
conducted by the firm of Hurst &
Donaldson has been purchased by w.
G. Maucker, who will devote himself
to it henceforth.

having prayed sym bolically cast their
sins into the water
The FIRST day of Rosh Ashona usual
ly is devoted to praying. but on the
second day even the orthodox Jews
give themselves up to Joy and pleas

certain critics who charged this play

Gus than this. Said he: There is
no carnality in the relations of John

that the critic is not an honest man
