DOM PAOL'S WORK
ISALM0ST DONE
Venerable Boer Statesman is
Failing Fast and is Very Old.
HE is STILL A HERO TO THEM
THE DUTCH WORSHIP HIM AND
LOVE HIM.

NEW YORK, April ia Tribune
IN dispatch from Utrecht, says: In
this small factory town Doom Paul
Kruger Is surrounded by a swarm Of
relatives and Boer exiIes, sees few Wis
ltors and is more phlegmatic and taci-
turn than ever. He is unmanageab bic
IN money matters, and so deliberate
and cautious in expressing his opinion
or judgment respecting South African
ahalrs that he is seldom consulted by
the other BOer leaders.
Or. Leyds is received as the diplo-
matte representative Of the South AZ
rlcan republic and allowed to display
ms rull uniform on state occasions.
Mr.. Kruger is a private citizen, living
IN exile, and is not encouraged to visit
the capltal or appear in public. Yet
ne IS reverenced throughout the Meth
erlands as a hero.
MT. Kruger is Enthusiastically aging.
the dispatch concludes, as his follow
ers admit. His heart action is better
than 1t was and his general health has
improved during his residence near
Ctrecht but his mind has grown dull
ana MS grim humor has disappeared.
ne remains the central figure Of the
group Of Boer refugees, because his
personality is still unrivaled.
cabling from Utrecht, the London
stan correspondent. of the Tribune saws
there is no decline in the popularity of
former President Kruger. although he
lives in .seclusion and is seldom seen
outside his villa in this small town.
Kruger IS aging fast and it is the opin-
ION OF al he is soon to follow his be-
loved wife.

Fighting Bob desired to invite Presi-

young Washington lawyer, who had
just returned with a freight load of

No Second Term Wanted.
Mr.. Depew said he was proud of his
connection with the railroad interests
of the country. He was quite ready
10 submit his claim TO a seat in the
senate to the electorate of New York

expire he would have reached a period

doubtful whether he would care to re-

Consideration then was resumed of
the Chinese exclusion bill. Mr., Pen

Mt. Gailinger presented telegram
from Robert H. Swayne Of San Fran

Mr.. Teller, speaking in support of

that after an experience of forty years

RIOT IN CHEESE SCENTED.
SANDER on Roquefort Brand Resented

When certain Chicago cheese dealers
meet DR.. 7. z. WynekOOp, assistant city
baCteTiOlOgist, there will be something
doing in the cheese line 1t is not Dr.
Wynek0Op's fault altogether. but the fair

and the discussion of the proposition that
this brand has too many Injurious oacilli
in It has put the Chicago cheese men and
the bacteriologists at outs on another
question. which is:
How does Roquefort cheese get its
green spots?
DR.. Wynekoop says the green is the
work Of panicillium glaucium, bacillus

A Profitable New Industry.

The SQUAD is used very largely as a sub
stitute for game, which formerly was quite
available. 1t is necessary to provide means
of artificial heat to successfully breed
squads in Midwinter, but it is not
necessary TO have the temperature over "a
or 30 degrees. In the Winter season our
dealers actually beg for a product which
requires very little time to care for or ex-
pense. The time consumed in caring for
800 pairs of breeding pigeons is not more
than two or three hours per day, and is
largely taken up in feeding them twice or
three times daily, watering once and car
ing for the fire in the evening The loft
does not need cleaning cut more than once
in two months.
The details Of successful squad breeding
are few. To the inexperienced they may
at first seem cumbersome, but as we IA
miliarize ourselves with the habits of pig
cons we learn to admire them, and the
work appeals to us more as pleasure than
labor. The young squad sits in the nest,

ST. LOUIS HOSPITALITY.
"reminiscences of wilson's Creek and the
Entertainment Provided for Sigels Men.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: After the
battle of Wilson's Creek, Mo-, Aug. 10,
1861. where Gen. Nathaniel Lyon was kill
ed, the command fell back to Rolla, Mo.
Gen. Franz Sigel was then the ranking
officer. After about 10 days at Rolla the
LIST Kan. was ordered TO st. Louis.
The day before the battle each soldier
was paid $40 in gold The coin being in
double eagles, one man was required to act
as custodian for his ''pardner's" $40. This
money was taken from the banks at
Springfield. and thus disposed of to pre-
vent it falling into the hands Of the Con-
federates. Proper receipts were given to
the bankers by the commanding officer.
Much of this money, however, fell into
the hands of the enemy, being in the peck
cts of dead and wounded left on the field.
Altogether more than 500 were killed and
wounded of the regiment in this battle,
but many wounded were able to ''navi-
gate" and were not reported. Those days,
unless an arm or leg was shot off. no ac-
count would be taken of wounds"
The regiment marched to Rolia, and
after few days went in freight cars to
st. Louis. The whole city" met them at
the railway station, and you never saw"
worse lot of ragamuffins. The clothing
of the men was ragged, dirty and varie-
gated in color, quality and style. Most of
them, however, had blouses, the only thing
in the way of uniform received from the
Government in service OF more than
three months.
But the boys were well treated in the

Of everything to eat was free to them,

Col. Groesbeck, of the Both Ohio, in an
effort to relieve Col. Mulligan in his de-
Tense at Lexington, Mo. But we were too
late to do much good, and we returned to
st Louis and went to Upton. Mo.
When the orders came to leave st. Louis
the soldiers were scattered over the town,
having been given much liberty by the
officers after the long, hard campaign, and
the citizens having entertained them so
handsomely, they were pretty hard to

freed all slaves who escaped from their
masters and came to their sarriSons. This
was one of the many sources Of friction
between the Spaniards and the Moros.
When the Spaniards abandoned Bongao-
which they did soon after the fall of Ma

were more than 100 former slaves on the
island. Within two hours after the troops
left the former masters of these people
came from every direction to seize them,
and the first datto to arrive claimed them
all and made their masters pay one-half
their value before returning them. Many
of those seized have since again escaped,
and, returning to establish their former
freedom, have been liberated.
The Government of the United States
can easily abolish slavery by paying for
the slaves. There are probably 10000
