FOR KRUG Frs GOLD.
Thousands spent I'm the Hunt-schemes
for the GuIIlble.
From Chambers journal.

From ChdpnbeTsS journal.
Since the late Boer war a new phase Of
treasure hunting has been In vogue. Some
one started a rumor that ere his departure
from the Transvaal the late President had a
quantity Of bar gold. variously estimated at
a value ranging from one to several millions,
conveyed up country and buried. The story
received so much credence that the British
Government at Pretoria has provided special
permits and police assistance TO various per-
sons who professed TO be able 10 guide a
search party Co the hiding place.
The degree Of Sullibility thai even intelll-
gent and educated men can attain when ex-
cited by treasure mania was amusingly Illus
trated by A we'll known instance. A young
Boer from the district supposed 90 contain
the treasure called upon a doctor near Jo-
hannesburg and told a strange story. He
said that one night while riding TO the farm
Of a relative he saw lights in a wooded kloof
or gorge, and accommodating cautiously he
saw a party Of men removing boxes from a
wagon AMI bur ying them.
Carefully noting the spot he got away IN
observed and returned next day. when he
unearthed a box. which on being broken
open he found TO contain bars OF gold and
quantities Of Kruger sOvereigns minted on
one side only. In confirmation Of the story
he produced three discs Of gold which ap-
peared to have been struck on one side with
an imperfect die.
His object in calling on the doc tor was to
borrow ESQ in order to procure n wagon and
oxen to remove the treasure. He was asked
why he did not bring away tho portable coin
and Thus make himself independent 81 outside

Gus. He feared n bring more. lest he might
be found with them upon himl
II IL estimated that more than 10000 has
been expended by the various search parties
that have undertaken the search for the Kruger
milliona.

PENALTIES OF GENIUS.

Sometimes The World Loses More by Them

No great genius, certainly no great in

TO be a little queer by some OF his fellow
men.

Bicetre for having allowed his mind to

What has he discovered?' asked our
guide.
@'Ohr answered the keeper, Struggling
his shoulders, 'somethinG trifing enough;

the steam OF boiling water
Il began to laugh.
This man. continued the keeper, came
from Normandy four years ago to present
TO the king a statement Of the wonderful
effects to be produced from his invention.
To listen to him you would imagine that
with steam you could navigate ships, o
carriages; In fact, there is no end to the
miracles which, he insists upon 1t, could be
performed. The king sent the mailman
away without listening to him. Finally,
finding the poor wretch forever in his path,
and annoyed by his folly, the Cardinal had
him shut up In the Bicetre.'"

With the opening OF the political head
quarters in New York city Republican and
Democratic spellbinders have popped out
from secluded hooks in all parts OF the State
and besieged the chiefs Of the battle for en-
ployment.
Most Of the spellbinders are considered to
be fairly good actors. They test an udlenc
with q phrase and await It's effect; they evolve
Jokes and await eagerly srins or silence, and
they adopt all sorts Of oratorical lodges TO
sway their audiences. Not ~lnfrequently late
at night some Of these s~pellblnders gather
about the festive board and chatter Of their
triumphs and between ohuckles tell how this
or that audience swallowed this or that state
ment hook, line and sinker.

The fight in New York State this fall. ac-
cording to those who have looked over the
ground. will include in its features the effort
to defeat Charles +. Murphy Of Tammany
Hall. The srgUment set up for this state
mnnt by those who discussed it yesterday
was that Mr.. Murphy ia the last remaining
arrogant boss OF any note in the State.
It was further said that Republicans who
voted for Mr.. Hearst for Mayor Of New York
city last fall have not now the same incentive.
for the reason that BENJAMIN b. Odell. Jr..
has been entirely eliminated as an arrogant
boss. The Democrats, it was added. who
voted last fall for Mr.. Hearst because of their
anita gonism to Boss Murphy have still the
incentive which actuated them in November,
1905. Many OF these Democrats. 1t WINS in
sisted, will vote for Charles f. Hughes in q
final effort to defeat Boss Murphy.

Charles f. Hughes is the only Republican
TO be nominated for Governor by the Repub-
lican party since its organization fifty years
ago who had not previously held public ONCE.
Edwin ID. Morgan. Reuben +. Fenton. John A.
Dix. Alonzo B. Cornell. Levi P. Morton. Frank
3. Black. Theodore Roosevelt. Benjamin p.
Odell, Jr., and Frank W. Higgins had an
occupied public posts before they were NOM
mated for Governor.
Mr.. Hughes's nomination is therefore a de-
parture from established precedent and many
Republicans say that this breaking away
from the old rule will be vastly ben ehcial to
the party in the future.
