Singing for photograph seems to be
as high-paid musical exercise as there
IS. A photograph company has offered
a prima donna, who sings at the
Metropolitan Opera House this winter,
$4,000 for tour songs. That is,
{, 1000 as soon as the songs are sung
and 1900 a year for four years as a
reward for not singing into any other
machine. Great as many are the
means of income of a goddess Of grand

London, Dec. 15.-At the grave Of
President Kruger in Pretoria tomorrow
General Botha, in the course of a pub

ing sent President Kruger by the
great Boer congress held in Pretoria
last May.
'In the midst of all the sadness and
sufferings which is my portion" wrote

with gratitude. With my whole heart
thank those who, gathered together
to deliberate on the present and the
future, thought of their old state pres

who wishes to create q future must not
lose sight of the past. Therefore seek
in the past all that was good and Deau-

that ideal.

thrown. 1t fills me with joy to see that

INSURANCE CLAIM
HELD UP BY PUBLIC SAFETY
BOARD FOR FURTHER IN
FORMATION.

All claims outstanding except the
one of the Alexander Insurance Co.,
for insurance of a hose house during
the past year were approved by the
board of public safety at its semi
monthly meeting in the city hall last
night. The Alexander claim seems to
have originated during the time of the
old councils regime. The board did
not know of the debt until it was pre-
sented last night Clerk Keyes was or
dered to send the bill back to the com
pany.
Members Fawcett, Herbruck and
Miller were in attendance. Outside OF
the approval of bills very little other
business was done. The insurance upon
the three city boilers was renewed for
three years at the premium Of S73.
The policy is for $4,000. Renewal was
made by c. S. Cock, representative of
the Maryland Casualty company.
