Boer committee to execute bust Of
Mr.. Kruger. 1t being the eve of the
sculptor's marriage, the conversation
was naturally brief, but as he is the
first foreigner who had seen Mr.. Kru-
ger since the conclusion of peace, we
quote his words:

half an hour each. At the first told

mind is reflected on the countenance,

calmness, strength and confidence.

did not understand, but heard. The
secretary must have dropped a remark
or an opinion that did not please the
master. One day asked the secretary
to say to the president on my behalf,
"A people like that of the Transvaal,
which has shown such civic virtues,
cannot die President Kruger replied,
No, it cannot die. A great nation, on
the contrary, will spring from it's un-
deserved misfortunes.' The president,
l repeat, has at no moment seemed
discouraged. In truth he is ignorant
of the latest events in the Transvaal
and the real conditions of peace. He
knows that the Beers have laid down
their arms, and that is all. To those
around him the English news-the
only news given to Europe-appears
to require confirmation and they are

WHY RICH MEN BUILD

sion in New York. The custom is not
peculiar to any city, state or section.
From the Huntingtons and Clarks of
the western coast to the Schwabs and
Carnegies of Pittsburg, all, after pro-
stationary existence in their respective
neighborhoods, meet in Fifth avenue.
This tralsmigration of the million
aire to the New York stage of social
incarnation is becoming too marked a
feature of the social body to be ig-
nored, but it is not so easily to be &C.
counted for. Not all the millionaires
go to New York for business reasons,
though some of them do. The advan-
tage of being in the financial storm
center at Wall street is doubtless con-
siderable. The man whose money is
in stocks can find nearly everybody
whom he need deal with somewhere

OF such commercial center as Chi

DRY that New York is sought after for
its bushes advantages alone.

who make their residence in the sea-
board metropolis are not attracted

tened through the darkened church to
the apartment Indicated. The door
was closed, and, without giving it's
occupant time to answer his knock in
person, he opened the door and en-
tered.
His establishment and entertain
ment may be imagined when one
reads that he discovered the young
rector arrayed in the complete vest
ments of the absent bishop, stepping
sideways and back before the long
pier glass, with the aid of which the
clergymen were accustomed to as
sumo their robes. The vestments
were somewhat too long, the visitor
said, but they became the young wear
er admirably. What conversation
passed between the two, or whether
the bishop noticed any change in the
manner in which he had done up the
vestments, has never been diyulged
but the story, as it appears above, has
been told as too good to consign to
oblivion.

ANCIENT HISTORY WAS FATAL

mously agreed that Egypt, "the play
ground of the east" with its beggars
and pyramids, it's merchants and
ruins, it's Sphinx and it's donkeys, was
by all odds the most entertaining and
instructive.
Then the conversation drifted into
the history of that ancient country,
All were fairly well informed upon
the subject, and for half an hour or
more the dynasties of Cheops, Thot-
mes, Rameses, the building of the
pyramids and other kindred subjects
were thoroughly and learnedly dis

tages. The movement of the society,"
seeking millionaires to Washington is
quite as interesting sign of the times
as is the hegira of men of wealth to
New York. Indeed, when a millionaire
has sold his stocks, bought bonds with
the money and has no duty more "a
tiguing than that of scissoring cou-
pons, he naturally goes to Washington
as the next phase in his social met
empsychosis. The reason is plain,
Washington has a society in which
breeding and brains play part, and
a society of that kind is distinctly SUI
perior to one like that of New York,
where money is the criterion of social
position.
1t has somehow come to be a fash
ion for millionaires to have homes in
New York. A palace built there is
conspicuous and gets it's owner talked
about. 1t is convenient eyrie from
which to descend upon Wall street.
Furthermore, it is to be supposed that
millionaires find one another's society
especially congenial, since it must be
conducive to ennui for any of them
to be surrounded only by men who
think and talk of little sums instead
OF big, round, mouth filling millions.
So the millionaires flock together in
Fifth avenue and keep one another in
ity.
