In some respects President Kruger's
statue is one of the most unique features
in all the universal exposition. Al what
ever time of day one happens in there,
there is bound to be an interested and

Scarcely day goes by without band
of students visiting the spot. English Wis
tiers, TOO, drift in that direction with as
tonishing frequency. They generally
make some contemptuous observation
about the chief executive of the South
African republic. An indiscretion of this
sort occasioned a tumultuous scene in
the pavilion last Friday. Three English
men stopped before the statue and indulg-
cd in more or less quiet merriment at the
expense of the plaster patriarch over
head. From the looks of the persons
standing about ID seemed safe to assume
that none understood English. This was

JUNK EATER CRITICALLY ILL.
He Says That Some Men Compelled
Him to Swallow Nails.
From the New York Times.


John Easel a tailor living at 4S3 Bush
wick avenue, Williamsburg, who is known
as 1.-THE human ostrich" on account of
his propensities for eating junk, is in St.
Catharines Hospital Williamsburg in a
critical condition and may not recover.
He was removed 10 the hospital on Sat
urday night, suffering from abdominal
pains which followed the swallowing of
two wire nails four inches long, one or
binary nail, and piece Of bone two inch
es long, which he alleges he swallowed
under threats of bodily harm made by a
number of men.
Easel underwent an operation in st.
Johns Hospital in January last for the
removal of junk he had eaten. The physi-
clans removed from him three brass
watch chains. twelve horseshoe nails,
twelve lath nails. five hairpins, three keys,
enc ring, and one hundred and twenty
eight pins He had also swallowed pocket
knives and ether articles He had been a
museum freak for fourteen months before
the operation and had felt no i'll effects
from his peculiar diet until Dec. Is, last,
when the operation became necessary.
Easel was warned to change his diet
and promised to turn his attention 20 an
o.her line of business. He earned good
living as o magician, going about TO sa-
looms on Saturday evening he entered a
saloon at Bushwick avenue and Boerum
street, and a number OF men requested
him to give a ''punk-eating act on his
refusal. it is alleged that they threatened
him until he compiled.
Easel felt no i'll effects from the nails
until he reached his home at II O'Clock
Saturday night lie then complained OF
severe pains in his abdomen and fell I'M
conscious to the floor. A policeman was
ca led in, who had him taken to 81. Cath

nails With X rays. Easel Is under the IN

augurated. Yet-and here is a significant
fact-of all the participating countries, the
little South African Republic was the
