IMPRESSIONS OF KRUGER.

My first meeting with President
Kruger was very brief, and l learned
little from It Of him then which has
not been made familiar to every one.
Mr.. Reitz brought me to his bouse and
We sat on his porch, he ioading and
reloading his oayernous PIPE the while
end staring out into the street, The
thing that impressed mo first was that
in spite Of his many years his great
bulk and height gave you ar impression
of strength and power which was in
creased by the force he was able to put
into his abrupt gestures. He gesticu--
lated awkwardly hut with the yigor OF
young man, throwing out his arm rs
though he were pitching quoit, and
opening his great fingers and clenchipg
them again in a menacing fist, with
which he struck upon his Knee. When
he spoke he looked neither at the Stare
Secretary nor at me but out into the
street, and when he did look ut one,
his eyes held no expression, but were
like those in a jade idol. His whole
face, chiefly, | think, because OF the
eyes, was like heavy waxen mask.
In speaking his lips moved and most
violently, but every other feature of
his face remained absolutely set. In
his ears he wore little gold rings, and
his eyes, which we're red and scared
with some disease, were protected
from the light by great gold.rimmed
speotacles OF dark glass with wire
screens.
SO many men had come to Sue him
and to ask him to talk on subject for
which the day for talk was East, that
he had gioWn properly weary OF ~ al,
and before l could ask him for the
particular information / hoped to
obtain, he said, ~ say what have
said before, We are fighting for our In
dependence. - He kept repeating this
stubbornly several times and then more
specifically saying, 'They are 200, 600.
We are $1,000" "They have turned
the black men on the border against

CHINESE US. AMERICAN DRESS.

Madame WI, in Harper's Bazaar
In matters of dress, of course, the
women of the Western world differ con-
spicuously from those OF the East.
Here stylss are changing constantly
with the years and seasons, almost with
the days. In the East 1T is not SO. The
cut aud style remain the same; novelty
is not sought iu fabrics-silks are most
used. These are richly embroidered,
both the undergarmen,s and the over
garments. The women of China are
skilful needle-women, and most OF the
work on their clothes Is done at home.
Among the poorer classes woollen and
cotton are used for the ooarser working
garments. The shape of the garments
IL designed TO cover the person. not to
fit it tightly, and beauty is secured In
the texture and embroidery, instead
of from odd shapes and .frills and
furheows. There is no such thing rs
low neck and short sleeves in China
and it is a long established custom
that the folds of the garment must be
quite ample. The trousers v orn by us,
a Chinese woman deems Indispensable
to modest attire. When Americans,
French, English--your civilized women
visit our country, | cannot say which
feature Of their dress shocks Chinese
women most whether the decollete cut
Of the evening bodice, or the fact that
they wear no trousers. ! have read OF
your dress reiormers who advocate
bloomers, and how immodest this is
thought to be here. If the boomers
covered the leg to the ankle. Chinese
women would regard them vast I'm.
provement on your present style Of
apparel.

KILLED ON THE RAILROAD.
Body of an Unknown Man Found Neal

Body of an Unknown Man Found Near
Ginn's Crossing.
The body of an unknown white man,
apparently about So years of age was
found Monday lying between the
north and southbound tracks OF the
Delaware railroad abont half mile
north Of Ginn's Crossing. The body
was discovered by Conductor Jones Of
extra fIeight No. LOG, northbound and
life was extinct.
1t was placed on the train aud taken
to Townsend. Deputy Coroner Giles
brought it to this city and took 1t to
the morgue, where it awaits identified
tion.
Deceased was seen Sunday about
Townsend. lie looked as il he might
be- demented. Tho superstition is that
he was sitting between the crossties
when he was struck Oh the side of the
head by the engine OF the New York
and Norfolk express which passed that
place at $50 o'clock Monday and
is due in this city at 4. 10 o'clock.
The man wore n vest, soft shirt, dark
trousers and lace shoes. He was about
40 years Of age, about feet inches
in height AID carried a rosary in his
pocket. The body was not in bad shape
and it is thought that the blow caused
death almost instantly.

Belts, collars and neckties continu-
ally present fresh novelties as the season
advances, and the woman who has
wearied OF her stock In hand may
change to something more to her fancy
of the moment. The pulley belt, for
instance, whichthas' been found such n
useful affair, has emerged from the
erstwhile sombreness Of black and taken
on the hues OF Joseph's famous coat.
or, murs correctly, of all the CLANS Of
old Scotland. The belt IS made of silk
cut bias, and the tie ends of straight
ribbon in corresponding plaid.
These are especially pretty for golf
gowns, to go with the plaid silk scarfs
which still retain their popularity.
Tho same style of belt Is made with the
main part of the familiar black, and
the ties only of plaid. Little narrow
satin and velvet ties are much worn,
especially 10 black, as they add a strik-
iugly effective note to light gown. A
new idea is to tirish the ends of these
with heavy head fringe instead of
one of silk. Harper Bazaar.

WOMAN ATTACKEDBY A NEGRO
Mrs. Mary MaxwelI's Enooun-
ter With Thief.
THE FELLOW MADE HIS ESCAPE
BY Jumping Over the Wall OF
Cemetery.


Shortly before 10 O'Clock Saturday
night people living In the vicinity of
Delaware avenue and Adams street and
Gilpin avenue and Adams street were
startled by the cries of woman, who
was calling loudly for assistance. Her
screams attracted Edwin n. Rudolph
of No. 1903 Adams street and several
others, who ran in the direction from
which the shouts came, which was mid
way of the square on Adams street be-
tween Delaware and Gilpin avenues.
As the men ran they saw negro dash
across Adams street and scale the wall
of Wilmington and Brandywine oeme-
terry, and, almost instantly, on account
of the shade there, he disappeared.
One man started after him, believing
he had some good reason for trying to
escape, but the negro had evidently
bsnished all superstitious fear and
took advantage Of the darkness to get
away. He was successful.
As Mr. Rudolph ran toward the pIacr
from which the sounds came he sas
Mrs. Mary Maxwell of No. $50 Lover
ing avenue, who was suffering from
fright. AZ soon as she recovered suf
ficiently to talk, she told Mr.. Rudolph
and others who had arrived, that the
negro they had seen running away had
caught hold of her and attempted to
steal her pocketbook, but he released
his grip and left her when he saw thu
men approaching.
Mrs. Maxwell had been downtown.
When she turned into Adams street
from Delaware avenue, to go to her
home on Lowering avenue, Mrs. Preston
M. Baird Of No. Oil lowering avenue
was short distance ahead of her. just
| after Mrs. Baird had passed under the
street lamp, which is in the middle OF
| the square, burly negro started after
hel. He had been concealed back OF q
tree and Mrs. Baird evidently did not
seq him. When Mrs. Baird found that
she was being followed, she quickened
her pace and the negro hastened his
steps. Mrs. Baird noticed this and ran
away from him. He evidently heard
Mrs. Maxwell approaching, for as soon
as Mrs. Baird started to run he stopped
and retraced his steps, Mrs Maxwell
scarcely snew what to do and before
she had time to do anything the negro
sprang at her and caught hold of her.
lie made an effort to wrest her pocket
book from her but was unsuccessful.
as he had scarcely made the attempt
when he saw men approaching and he
ran away.
After Mrs. Maxwell had been taken
home an effort was made to find the
negro, but he had made good his ESCAPE.
He was described by tile women as
being tall and wearing straw hat, dare
coat ard light trousers. A man answer.
ing that description has been seen IN
that locality several times lately anc
other women have noticed him acting

Our form of society, from tho begin
ming, considers women us the natural
and proper companions Of their seA.
Our social functions provide always for
separately entertaining the men and
women assembled. Women have their
relations with men solely under the
protection Of the family relation. This,
i think, explains tho superior modesty
of Chinese women. Foreigners, who
know our people we'll Admit that tho
women of China are always peculiarly
dignified and modest in their relations
with men. Even the girls sold into
slavery, who are thus doomed to what
are held to bs immoral lives, are en-
tirely free from the wantonnsss Of
women of similar moral status in
civilized countries. The classic litera-
ture of our people bears evidence of the
pure thought animnting the relations
OF men and women. Our classics, un-
like the Latin and English, may all be
put into the hands of a young girl to
read. Madame WI, in Harper's Bazar,

THE NEEDS OF CHINA.

Here is the key to the whole situn-
tion, says Mark B. Dunnell IN the At
lantic. The fundamental need of China
is administrative reform, and this can
he accomplished only under foreign
compulsion and supervision. Without
il, the political integrity of China
cannot be maintained nor can foreign
trade largely increase. We cannot
reasonably expect great increase In
the imports of China without a proper.
tionate increase in her exports. We must
look principally to the exploitation OF
her mineral resources under foreign
direction for the needed increase ip her
exports and this can only be done
through the agency of railroads, which
cannot be built and successfully oper-
ated except under conditions OF Politi-
cal security which do not now exist.
The requisite security for foreign enter,
prise in China can he attained only by
means of drastic administrative reforms
initiated from without The govern
ment at Pekin does not desire reforms,
and its tenure is so insecure that 10
could not introduce them If 1t desired.
The mapdarins cannot be expected to
destroy a system upon which they
thrive; and the people at large are
ignorant, indifferent, unpatriotic, and
without any inherited capacity for con-
carried political action. The decentrali-
cation of the political system has de-
stroyed all national feeling.
