DOM PAUL AT THE RAAD.
The AIRED BOer President Still the
Greatest Orator in
His Country.

The chief aim of the visitor to Pre-.
toria is to obtain glimpse of President
Kruger, and daily between the presiden.
cy and the raad numerous spectators
await the coming of the gaudy looking
state coach, in which his honor is con-
veyed about the city. 1t was my good
fortune not only to see President Kru-
ger seated in his favorite chair on the
''stoep" of the presidency, but also to
see him and hear him speak in the first
chamber of his beloved volksraad.
Shortly before the opening OF the raad
the state coach, conveying the president
and well guarded by outriders of Boer
cavalry. drove smartly up to the en-
trance of the building; the soldiers on
duty about the place stood at attention,
and Paul Kruger descended heavily
from the carriage and entered the raad.
A tremendous big man and active in his
day, he is now showing very plainly the
weight of his great years, and is sal
low compleNioned, white haired and un-
handsome looking old man.
The raad opened without any visible
ceremony, and the order of the day was
proceeded with. The amended fran
chise law was the subject under consid-

there was great deal of very strong
feeling on the matter. knowledge of

with the utmost economy, he and a
chum renting living quarters, keeping
house for themselves. cooking their
own food and generally doing for them
selves. In the summers they worked on
farms. Thus matters stood late in Au-
gust, 1861, when Henderson and a
friend named Warner called on Sun
dav evening on the latter's sister. That
night Henderson told Warner he was
ashamed of himself that he had not en-
listed before. Warner agreed with him.
Those two, with another student named
Burr, went to work quietly raising vol
unteers among the students. The morn
ing of September Is, just after college
prayers, Henderson arose and asked to
be heard. He said he had no complaint
to make, no grievances to air, but that
he wanted to speak on a subject of vital
importance to all. Permission being
extended him. he took the floor and
made his first war speech, at the con-
clusion of which he read set of resolu-
tions setting out the necessities of the
country, ard ended with this sentence:
I'VE therefore drop our books to fight
our country's battles"
Besides himself. Warner and Burr,
10 students had signed the resolutions.
Before going to the front he succeeded
in adding 104 more names to his list of
volunteers. He was rendered the cap
taincy of the company, but modestly
declined because of his youth and in
nocence of matters military. He was,
however, elected and commissioned
first lieutenant. This was in company
C, Twelfth regiment Iowa volunteer
infantry. He served with it till Febru-
ary &c, 1868, when he was honorably
discharged because of the loss of his
left leg at the knee. In June, 1864, he
entered the army as colonel of the
Forty-sixth regiment Iowa volunteer
infantry and served till the end of the
civil war. He became collector of in
ternal revenue in November, 1865, and
held the Office until June, 1869, when he
became junior in the law firm of Shiras.
Van Duzee & Henderson. 1t was while
serving as collector that he studied law
and was admitted to the bar. He was as
sistant United States attorney for two
years. He is now a member OF the law
firm of Henderson, Hurd, Lenehan &
'Kiesel. This firm is in business at Du-
buque, Ia, where he has made his home
since, the civil war.

TOLD OF HENDERSON.
When Boy the New Speaker Was
! a Brave Wrestler.
Left College for the Volunteer Army
Because He Thought the COun-
try Needed the Services of
Strong Young Men.

David Bremen Henderson, speaker of
the Fifty-sixth congress. was famous
wrestler in his youth, as Abraham Lin
coin was. He is broad shouldered,
deep-chested and still powerful, says
the Chicago Post, although when he
lost his leg fighting for his country he
dropped from the class of all-round ath-
letes. To his fondness for wrestling
and on account of an accident associat-
ed with the pursuit of that pastime may
be traced his collegiate career. 1t is
related that when he was II a stranger
who had heard of young Henderson's
prowess challenged him to try conclu-
sions. The lad, nothing 10th, accepted
the challenge notwithstanding the
stranger was older, taller and heavier
than he, and by all the laws of ath-
letics, ought TO have won easily. But
the future soldier and statesman was
strong and active. He threw the
stranger, winning fall after fall. The
struggle was long and fierce. but ended
in Henderson's being thrown with such
violence that his right wrist was dislo-
Gated and a bone in the forearm
broken. The primitive surgery of Hen
derson's Prairie was not equal to the
task. and the youngster had TO go to
Rockford, H., for proper treatment.
During the long period consumed by
the knitting procedure he devoted his
time to intellectual pursuits. Display
ing great aptness in and fondness for
study, he determined to take collegi-
ate course. He taught term of the dis
trict school near his home, thus pro-
viding the fees for matriculation; then
he entered the Upper Iowa university,
where he remained three years.
He did not graduate. quitting the col
lege to enlist in the union army in Sep
tember, 1861. While at college he lived

Big Nugget I'm the k,ond,ke,

The largest pure gold nugget found
up to date in the Yukon fields has
turned up on No. "a Eldorado. 1t was
found by Peter Gorat, a veteran miner,
80 years of age. 1t weighs six pounds
and eight and one-half pennyweight.
The gold in it is worth exactly $1,14s.
It is beautiful piece Of pure gold, and
its lucky finder sold it for $4,000, as a
specimen. A larger piece of gold has
been found, but 1t was mixed with
quartz. 1t was worth S1,S00, and was
unearthed last spring.-Chicago Inter

BOAT SHAPED LIKE A FISH.
VIII Take Visitors to the Bottom OF
the Seine at the Paris
Exposition.

The Nautilus will be the name of a
submarine boat which the exposition
people are building for use in 1900.
The Nautilus is being built out of
white wood and solid steel. with all the
bolts and rivets and tixings inside and
out that mark the wonderful new mar
vels of seagoing craft.
The Nautilus is shaped like a fish,
which the builders tell the visitors is
the most desirable shape a boat can
have. The head of the fish contains the
| engines and the steering gear; the tail
is for a balance: ii does for the boat
much the same work that the tail does
for fish. The main salon is in the
center. and here the passengers are to
gather for a submarine trip. If the boa I
is successful there will be refreshments
served aboard and good times are
scheduled.
But the main object of the submarine
machine is to enable people to pay a
visit to the bottom of the Seine On
top of the strange craft there will be
a tower where the pilot sits. Here he
keeps sharp lookout for surface
steamers The boat is so built that it
can be quite submerged, yet with the
tower sticking above the wafer. When
the boat dives the man in the tower
can observe the surface of the river
above him by means of the deep shad-
ows which the large passing boats ere
ate. The presence of a boat overhead
does no harm unless the submarine
should wish to rise, in which case it
would come up underneath the boat
and submarine collision would estab-
ish new feature in water casualties.
The sides of the strange fish will be a
heavy glass, through which the passen-
gers can observe the water and its in
habitants.
The Nautilus is supplied with COM
pressed air Its means of rising and
sinking are by the entrance of water
and the driving out of the same. When
the boat is to fall chamber is opened
and the water rushes in. The boat
Immediately begins to sink; and, when
certain amount of water has entered,
the chamber closes automatically and
remains closed while the boat is pro-
PEELED by electricity through the water.
When the ascent is to be made upward
through the waves, the water is pumped
out hydraulically and The boat, relieved
Of its weight, rises. There can be no
danger in any event.-Pittsburgh News.

FIFTY INSTITUTE MEMBERSHIPS.

Through a strange chain Of circumstances the

memberships to be obtained with an old trust
fund. amounting to about $1,000 which was
raised many years ago by the citizens of Williams

deposited in A bank Some of the present
trustees are Register James r. Howe John S. Nc

Some time ago the directors OF the Brooklyn

enough additional to erect suitable library build

seriously considered but the antics of the
Board of Estimate and Apportionment caused the
directors, otherwise much disposed to the idea, to
reject it, It was feared that the money in hand

poses specified.

AS there had not been death on the island since
