HIS HELPMATE GONE.
President of Trnnsvaal, Occurs
at Pretoria.

Pretoria, July 22.-Mrs. Kruger,
wife of Former President Kruger,
died here Saturday of pneumonia,
after al illness of three days. Mrs.
kruger's long separation from her
husband. combined with the death of
her favorite daughter. Mrs. Smith,
last week. had completely broken her
spirit. Mr.. Eloff and many other
members of the Kruger family were
at her bedside when she passed
away.
1.-THE death of his wife will doubtless
prove a severe blow to Paul Kruger. for
they were devoted to each other and it is
said that the former Transvaal president
followed the advice of his wife in prefer
ence to that of any of his associates. She
was the ideal of helpmate according to
the philosophy of the Beers. She was
highly accomplished in all the arts of do
mesticity, but she knew little or cared lit
tie for accomplishments that would shine
was plain Paulus Kruger and she Miss Du
Plessis. She had in full the qualification
of .Boer wife. She could bake. she could
sew, she could sweep. she could scrub.
But after her husbands rise to power she
showed that she could also save. for it is
sald that. the former president of the South
African republic is worth about SIS. 900 coo.
Nine. Kruger did not care for show. With
a fortune like that she could have lived in
oriental splendor, but there is not a we'll
TODD burgher in the Transvaal who has rot
as pretentiOus residence of Dom Paul and
MS wife. The presidents salary was So. 600
a year. and yet madame superinten6ed her
own kitchen. Fer dresses were simple in
the extreme. A gown of plain black was
the most gorgeous raiment she possessed
II Nine. Kruger was not the best housewife
IN all South Africa. she was certainly very
near to that enviable distinction.

Report. Say Official" Have Decided
to Reopen Steel Plant Under
Guard-LabOr Hosts Split.

. Pittsburgh, Pa, July 22.-Reports
that the steel corporation officials
have decided to reopen mills undeF
guard are declared by President
Shaffer to be like the first gun fired
on Fort SUMTER He said the men
are ready for fight and employers
cannot secure enough workers to re.
sumo.
The important event in the strike
history of the day is the organization
of the tube mill workers at McKees-
port. The word from there is that
after long and arduous work Assistant
Secretary Tighe, of the Amalgamated
association, succeeded in organizing
125 of the National Tube Works COM
pany. At the meeting rs skilled men
from each of the departments were
initiated into the mysteries of the
Amalgamated association, and Mr..
Tighe claims that within 4S hours
enough more of the workmen will be
secured to keep the entire plant closed
down, affecting 5000 men.
The first week of the steel strike
ended Saturday in this district with
two big meetings, one indorsing nom
unionism, the other cendemning it.
The first was held at Vandergrift Sat-
urday afternoon, where the sentiment
of the workers of the Vandergrift,
Leechburg, Apollo and Salisbury
plants of the American Sheet Steel
company was expressed in speeches
| and resolutions. More than 1900 men
attended the gathering. Speeches were
made by prominent mill workers in
dorsing nonunionism and declaring
| loyalty to the company.
The meeting at McKeesport was
Numerically opposite to the Wander
grift gathering in it's object and ac-
ton. 1t was held in Whites opera
house under the auspices of the Anal
gamated association and was ad-
dressed by several of the prominent
officials of the association, principal
| among whom was President Shaffer.
| The hall was crowded to the doors and
much enthusiasm was evidenced.

| Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 23.-The strike
of the stationary firemen was officially
declared off Monday night at a joint
meeting of the strikers and executive
boards of United Mine Workers. The
meeting was stormy one.
Pittsburgh. Pa. July 24.-The COM
bine forces have decided to carry the
strike into the courts. 1t is learned
that Judge P. NJ. Smith, of Wellsville,
o., has been retained by Persifer F.
Smith, district manager of the Amer
lean Sheet Steel company, to prepare
papers for presentation within a few
days to a federal court asking for re-
| straining order to stop strikers from
accosting or molesting in any way
nonunion men on the highways. The
move promises crisis in the strike,
thus far one of watchfulness and wait
ing.
