lana-Rais spirit Not Crashed
BY ReveFses.

: The final scenes in the long and
adventurous career of the express
ident of the South African republic.
now on the point of absorption in
the British dominion, are being en-
acted at little town named Hilver-
sum, in Holland. According to the
latest advices, his end cannot be very
far off, and one of the most remark
able men of the last century will dis
appear forever from the stage of hui
man affairs. Mr.. Kruger inhabits a
small, two-storied house, known as
Casa Cara, similar in every way to
the residence of the wealthy Dutch
merchants, and of the usual type of
country houses in Holland. There
are grounds surrounding the build
ing in which the president spends
good portion of each day.
Hilversum is town of about $4,000
inhabitants, ard is half an hours
ride by rail from Amsterdam. 1t is
a favorite country residence of the
Dutch, being very healthful and
quiet. Dom Paul rises early, accord
ing to his lifelong custom, takes
cup of black coffee the first thing
in the morning, and when dressed re-
pairs to the garden. where he re-
mains asa rule, till half past nine.
During this time he goes through his
mail. which has previously been
classified for him by his private Sec
rotary. He always takes with him
on these occasions his two INSOFAR
able companions, a large pipe and a
large old-fashioned Bible with large
metal clasps.
Although he. knows the sacred
books almost by heart. especially
those of the Old Testament, and can
always quote an appropriate passage
from the Bible suitable for any given
emergency, yet he, nevertheless,
reads his Bible every day under the
shade of al arge tree in the pleasant
grounds of the villa. At noon pre-
cisely. for Mr.. Kruger is nothing if
not methodical, he takes cold

luncheon with his party, which, us a
rule. consists of his nephew, Mr..
Eloff, who is also his private secre-
tary, and Mr.. Van Boschoeten.. ex-
chief of the Transvaal ministry;
Mcssrs. BACK van Ven and Breedel,
who are in attendance on the aged
ex-president. His faithful servitor,
Happe, and Belgian physician. DR..
Heymans, always accompany him.
The latter has forbidden him the use
of any wine or liquors, his only drink
being mineral water, After lunch
con Mr.. Kruger takes siesta. which
lasts Gill four o'clock in the after
noon. He then goes for drive in
a carriage bearing the former arms
and escutcheon of the Transvaal, and
returns to the house by six o'clock.
1t pleascs the old man greatly to
observe the general respect which
he meets with from all classes of the
public, and even the children strike
up the Boer national anthem, which
every one knows in Holland, as he
passes by. He takes supper at half
past six, and retires invariably at
eight p. m. sffrt

HUSBAND ARRESTED.


Grand Rapids, Mich, March 10.-La-
test developments in the investiga-
tion into the death Of Mrs. Ada Klump.
the young wife of William Klump. OF
Lowell, point to one of the most cold
blooded murders Michigan has ever
known. After diligent inquiry into
the circumstances of the case Sheriff
Chapman Friday afternoon took Will
liam Klump into custody and lodged
him in Jail here. The officers express
the belief that Klump either sent the
deadly powders through the mail him
self or knew who did send them, and
that the main object was the removal
of Mrs. Klump. The theory is that the
doctored powders were substituted
for the real headache and harmless
powders and that they were sent to
several persons in the village for the
purpose of throwing the blame upon
the manufacturers of the headache
remedy and thus divert suspicion from
the sender of the poison.
Klump was interviewed at the Jail.
He is about IS years of age. He de-
,lared he was entirely innocent of the
charge on which he was arrested. He
said he had no knowledge of what the
alleged sample headache powders
contained or from whence they came.
He got the envelope containing the
powder addressed to his wife at the
Lowell post office with some other
mail, and brought it to the house. sup
posing it was an ordinary advertising
sample. He denied the truth of the
reports that he had been attentive
to another woman, or that there was
any reason for his wanting his wife
out of the way.

selfish fellowship, man can put into
life, and yet find room for more! The
biography of every great man teaches
us how much the measure may be
made to hold. Lincoln's measure, Cor
don's measure, Moody's measure-how
deep, how satisfying they were! Such
men care nothing-and why should
they care?-for what they get out of
life; for their whole thought is occu-
pied with what they can get into it..
Life is shallow only when we are seek
ing to exhaust it; it enlarges as we
seek to fill it, always. A goblet to be
drained-a, to be filled-which

the choice is each mans own.

The Amounting Of Kings.

The question as to whether King
Edward should he anointed at his
coronation and if so what form the
ceremony would take is bringing to
light some interesting stories as to
the way in which the rite was for
merly performed. Edward W., the
last of the former Edwards, had a
difficult time, more difficult than that
of Richard Crookback, who was
stripped to the waist. Edward vi.
Law PROSTATE on the altar while
Archbishop Cranmer rubbed his back
much in the same way as wives
rubbed embrocation on the backs of
rheumatic husbands. In former days
the holy oil with which the king was
anointed was supposed to hedge
him with divinity, SO in those rough
times it was natural that a king
should hasten his coronation.
Witches were forbidden to attend the
ceremOny.

sBoss" Shepherd is coming back to
Washington. He has made q great
fortune in the silver mines of Mex
leo, and returns to his native city
to spend his remaining days in peace.
He is 81 years of age, and enjoys the
distinction of being the best loved
and best hated man that the capital
city ever knew.
Alexander H. Shepherds name will
live in history as the originator of
the new Washington. After all. is
said and done, the work of the ex-
perts who have planned the future
Washington as a city of delight had
the basis of "Boss'' Shepherds work
to go upon. That is how he derived
his sobriquet of boss For three
years he was the absolute ruler of
Washington, and in that time spent
100000 900 in making it what it is to-
day.
Alexander H. Shepherd, says the
Philadelphia Press. is native of
Washington. He was born in the
''fats' January 10, 1885. His parents
were in ordinary circumstances. His
ancestors for $50 years had lived in
/, this country; some of them fought
in the revolutionary war. Shepherd
himsel; was for a time soldier in
the late war. His father became
well-to-do before his death, which
enabled the boy to obtain a pretty
fair education. He entered Column
bian university. But the executor of
the estate, it is said, stole the money
and young Alexander started to learn
trade to help support the family.
Then he became shoe salesman, and
later learned to be plumber and
gas filter. Within eight years of en-
tering his apprenticeship he was a
partner. Within the next IL years
he had built more than 400 houses
in Washington.
His prominence in business led him
into politics. He was member OF

PRINCE HRHRY's VISIT.


John A. Ksssen, the only living ex-
minister to Oesrsany, discussing the
visit of Prince Henry to this coun-
try. has said:
The visit is significant in that 1t
marks a purpose ON the part of his
imperial majesty the German en-
perors to signalize Mis- friendly feel
ing for the United States.
There is "a growing commercial
rivalry between the Americans and
the Germans. They are close COM
petitors in many markets, and it is
a matter of common knowledge that
ill-advised utterances of hasty and
irresponsible writer's and speakers
