Transvaal" Breathes Switzerland : . Paul Kruger, former president of 'the Transvaal republic, died at Clar- ens, Switzerland, July 14, from pneu­ monia and supervening heart weak­ ness. His daughter and son-in-law were with him at the time of his death. He had been out only once since his arrival at the beginning of , last month. Wide* pread Regret in France. ' The death of Paul Kruger has aroused widespread regret in TYance, owing to French sympathy lor the Boer cause and personal admiration for the ex-president. When he re­ cently left Mentone his health was gradually failing through old age, con­ stitutional disorders and throat trou­ bles, which threatened to extend to the lungs. However, his personal physician, Dr. Heymann, did not apprehend a speedy crisis, and Mr. Kruger himself resisted the idea that bis physical powers were failing. He had arranged to return to Mentone next fall, again leasing the pictur­ esque villa which he had occupied on the outskirts of the town. • Nevertheless, his near friends rec­ ognized that Mr. Kruger's once rug­ ged constitution was gradually going to pieces. Visitors described him as being a pathetic figure of calm en­ durance. His eyesight had dimmed but he sat much at times with his Bible open before him, muttering well-known passages. He avoided references to the Boer war, but when It was occasionally mentioned he showed no resentment and expressed the belief that Providence would eventually render^fcustice to the Boer cause. Kruger's Remarkable Career. Stephanus Johannes Paulus Kru­ ger, who was the central figure in the Five miles from home a full-grown panther sprang from the bush. The frightened oxen bolted, nearly upset­ ting the two-wheeled cart, and throw­ ing out the little girl. Paul jumped after her and, although unarmed, grappled with the panther. He seiz­ ed the beast by the throat and by main strength strangled it to death. Bleeding front IiIm encounter with the panther, he carried hla sister home in safety. Thin exploit made him the hero of the Tratmvaal. Another story In of an elephant hunt, in which Kruger outwitted two fauous hunters. They did not think much of Paul's horse and started to turn the quarry back, leaving Kruger to himself. They were on the trail of an elephant and soon heard ^Kruger calling, "Why don't you turn the beast?" But the elephant was too fleet for them. Kruger called again and they redoubled their efforts, but in vain. Then Kruger, who had rid­ den up side by side with them, said carelessly, "I'll see what I can do," and he shot ahead and was soon out of sight. The crack hunters heard- several shots and when they reached Kruger they found him with five dead elephants as trophies of the chase. For ten years previous to the war of 1881 Kruger was a member of the executive council of the Transvaal. He planned the uprising which in that year with the battle of Majuba hill ended in the practical independ­ ence of the Boer republic. From that time until the occupatidn-©f_Preter!5 by Gen. Roberts and his flight before the British Oom Paul remained the president and dictator of the Trans­ vaal republic. It has been said that had Joubert been president and some other man J PAUL KBUGCB. late Boer war, and in many respects one of the most remarkable men of his time, was born in Cape Colony in 1825. He Joined his family in the "great trek" of 1834-6, when more than 6,000 Boers left British territory and trekked northward into the wild and mountainous country where the Transvaal republic was afterward founded. Kruger was born with a love for ad­ venture and while yet too young to handle a gun became expert with the bow and arrow. While still a mere boy he was famous for his courage and skill with the rifle. He was bare­ ly in his teens when he took part in the great battles which drove Moseli- kotse, the father of Lobengula, and his warriors north of the Limpopo river. He had received little educa­ tion, his only book in his boyhood be­ ing the Dutch family Bible. He read with delight the stories of the Israel­ ites in their escape from bondage and their early wars, and finding a coun­ terpart in his own experiences in­ creased his ambition for military glory. He believed that to spoil the enemy was a cardinal duty. He bo distinguished himself in the early wars of the Boers that at the age of tO he was a district commandant. He rapidly rose through all grades of the service until be was not only com­ mander-in-chief but president of the republic. Marvelous, stories are told of his Strength and prowess as a hunter. When he was 16 years old his father sent him home with an empty oxcart and span of oxen. His little sister was with him. "Paul, take good care of your sister," said his father at part- ta*. O Smokers' Jubilee. ' In May the people of Berlin cele- Imted an anniversary which is a fa­ vorite one with them. Before May 23, 1832, no smoking was allowed in the streets or parks cf Berlin and offend­ ers were punished by a fine for the #r»t infraction of the rule and by im­ prisonment afterward. The king of Prussia in those days detested smok­ ing and the police &nd the military men were under strict orders to ar­ rest anyone who dared to smoke in public. It is recorded that when Na­ poleon occupied Berlin a hundred years ago the Berliners eagerly took advantage of the opportunity to smoke and took a special delight in Puffing smoke in the faces of the po­ lice, who had then no power to arrest them. In 1832, however, the restric­ tion was withdrawn and since then tiie people have celebrated tfc© .anni­ versary with great Joy. than Chamberlain British secretary of the colonies the bloody Boer war might have been averted. Kruger was implacable in his hatred of Eng­ land and in Chamberlain he met a man as bullheaded as himself. His famous ultimatum to Great Britain, which was practically a declaration of war, was the result. The Boers had for years been preparing for the war, and no doubt Kruger thQught that by the Boers striking a swift blow the British could be defeated. The Boer plan of campaign in its earlier stages in 1889 and 1900 as­ tonished the world. Kruger predict­ ed that if the British should win it would be at a cost that would be ap­ palling. HiB prophecy was abundant­ ly verified. Up to the relief of Lady- smith the British were on the defen­ sive. Their losses in^the first twelve months were nearly 50,000 men. With the evacuation of the Tugela by the Boers and the surrender of Cronje to Roberts the tide turned and from that time forward the Boer campaign was a forlorn hope. Oom Paul's last days were passed In seclusion in the south of Europe. It was said when he fled from South Africa he took with him $15,000,000 in gold. He lived in Mentone during the winter and passed hiB summers in Switzerland. During his closing days, his old bitterness toward Eng­ land had vanished. He said, when speaking on the subject, that the fu­ ture of the Boer cause was in God's hands.' THE weak spot. A weak, aching back tells of sick kidneys. It aches when you work. when you try to rest.

The tolls of the Suez canal in 190* were $21,800,000. I was lucky enough, the first time 1 paw it-- I visited it, I think, four or five times--to approach its southern extremity, Point Kalis, Just about sunset. Against a golden sky fringed, as we steamed past it, with vermil­ ion, stood the gigantic vertical wall­ like rocks rising in places to a height of 1,200 feet. The whole coastline of this island was of a similar nature, and as we tiny little things--that's Just the way we felt--looked up at its precipitous rocks towering sky­ ward, the spectacle was most im­ pressive. The island has, without doubt, been shot up bodily in some volcanic commotion and subsequently raised several feet above its former level. Its southern point is very in­ dented, forming huge pointed pillar- like pyramids, but with a vertical face toward the sea." ,•** • S' Fine Philippine 8cenery. |£A.

The excursion train left the picnic grounds at Momence, 111., at 6 o'clock. The-entire day had been spent at games and outdoor pleasures, and the tired crowd of men, women and children was being hurried to their homes in the vicinity of the church at Thirty-first and Butler streets. The engine, baggage car and one passenger coach were crushed in the collision. All of the dead and most of the injured were in the first coach. Dead in First Coach. Orders misunderstood, or negli­ gence of the train crews, is believed to have been the cause. " The excursion train, north bound, had been transferred to the south bound track, which was supposed to be clear. \ A11 of the.jiead' and injurfd were placed on board special trains and brought to Chicago, arriving at Engle- wood station at midnight. The injured were removed to Englewood Union hospital, while the dead were taken to Thirty-third street on the relief train, and from there removed to the morgue, where several thousand anxious relatives crowded to look for their loved ones. Heartrending Scenes. The scenes attending the identifica­ tion of the ; bodies and the receiving of the injured from the trains has seldom been equaled in Chicago. There are three bodies at the morgue that have not been identified. One is that of a small boy. The oth­ ers will probably never be identified unless by the scraps of cloth that cling to the pieces of flesh now in the morgue. On one slab are the arms and legs of a small boy, while on another are the legs, one arm, and part of the trunk of a man. List of the Dead.

Blame Engineer and Conductor. The officials of the road, after a thorough investigation of the causes of the wreck, place the blame on the engineer and conductor of the freight train. The station agent at Glenwood informed the englneman that the ex­ cursion train was on the south-bound track and urged him to get out of the way. He refused to take orders from the agent until shown a telegram. When he endeavored to reach a sid­ ing with the train the collision oc­ curred. The conductor is censured for permitting the train to be taken to another track, the action being in con­ flict with all rules of railroading. Chicago dispatch: President A. J. Davidson and other officials of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad have declared that Engineer F. E. Hoxey and Conductor Cooper of the freight into which the excursion train bearing the unhappy Sunday school picnickers crashed, are responsible for the terrible calamity of the collision and the awful loss of life that fol­ lowed. These men, with Brakeman Wright, the fireman, and the flagman, are now at Dolton, 111., near the scene of tbe wreck, awaiting the call of the coro­ ner. iiot -fpo back ^flli tbe heavy load), io he decided to go on to Thornton, five miles distant, to push the cars he then carried over to the south-bound track, and then return to get tue fif­ teen lost cars on the north-bound track. Near the switch at Thornton there is a siding. If, when Hoxey had his train on the south-bound track, he had proceeded farther north, and then backed his cars onto this siding, the wreck would have been averted. But, instead, he went south of the siding to Glenwood. When his engine reached the depot, THE CHICAGO AND EASTERN ILLINOIS LINE, SHOWING WOOD, SCENE OF THE WRECK.

After being organized It set the hearing of the evidence until July 21, and then visited -the scene of the wrdck to go over the ground. Officials of the road announced that the men held responsible would remain at Dol­ ton until called to testify before the coroner's jury, stating that they had already been furnished their transpor­ tation to Chicago for that purpose. * Officials Visit Wreck. The officials bf the road made a trip to Glenwood. In the party were President Davidson, Vice-President R. R. Hammond, General Superintend­ ent W. J. Jackson, Assistant Road Master E. Buchanan, and Division Su­ perintendent J. F. Rubs, whose juris­ diction extends directly over the por­ tion of the road where the wreck oc­ curred. *~. The officials viewed the wrecked cars and examined the wreckage care­ fully, and then called before them the employes of the stations near Glen­ wood and the crt ws of the two trains which collided. It was found that Hoxey's engine, No. 144, drawing fifty coal and freight cars, was proceeding north on the track north of Chicago Heights, Wednesday evening, when it was discovered that, by reason of a knuckle or drawbar having dropped from its position, fifteen of the rear cars had been left behind on the track. Freight Engineer to Blame. There is a heavy grade on this part of the line, and the engineer could the station agent ran out to him and told him that on account of the fifteen cars he had left on the other track the special excursion train had been ordered to take the track he was then on from Chicago Heights, and advised him to hurry his cars to the siding. Resents Advice From Agent. J. W. Smoot is the station agent. He had no right to give orders to Hoxey, and Hoxey did not feel in­ clined to obey him. It was only when Smoot showed him a copy of the tel­ egram which had just flashed along the wire that Hoxey realized the aw­ ful truth. The excursion train was bearing down upon him. He should never have left the other track. He en­ deavored to shift the heavy freight to the siding, but it was too late. Scarcely had Smoot handed him the telegram when the terrific crash came. In the rear of his train was havoc and death--and it was too late. In going from one track to the oth­ er he had violated one of the strict­ est rules of tbe railroad world. He had done what an embryo would have learned to avoid in bis first lesson. The other track was his as long as ne had a single car on it, but, off that track, he was Inviting the ter­ rible consequences that came. Violate Iron-Bound Rules.

"I am often asked," said a physi­ cian, "why doctors do not cut short by death the sufferings of persons who are hopelessly ill, and I always an­ swer by repeating an incident which occurred years ago. A colleague of mine had a patient whose disease was diagnosed as a form of cancer. The patient was an old soldier. He knew that during the civil war, when gun­ shot wounds in the abdomen were re­ garded as beyond surgical aid, wound­ ed men were .more than once put out of their agony by a tablespoonful of laudanum, and he begged the doctor to do the same with him. Of course, the doctor refused, but one day he left for the man an opiate, an over­ dose of which wjrs certain death. He did it, I know, in order that the pa­ tient might take the overdose if he chose, and the man did choose. An autopsy was performed, and to the surprise of the physicians present It was discovered that the diagnosis was incorrect. The man h^d nine chance* out of, ten for recovery, or at least for comparative recovery. But for that overdose he might, have'lived a number of years in fair health. I think that it is sufficient answer to the question I am asked so often. What of a case in which there is no possibility of a mistaken diagnosis? I am entirely too busy to discuss that."---New York Telegraph. Would Take No Chance. At one of the hotels the other night a traveling man well known for his connection with the sale of divers wares to the merchants of north Texas gave his views on and experi. ences with the superstitions of the colored race.

Peterborough cathedral has the old­ est working clock in the British Isles. (It was erected about 1320, and is prob­ ably the work of a: monastic clock- maker. It is the only one now known that is wound up over an old wooden wheel. This wheel is about twelve feet in circumference, and the galvan­ ized cable, ariWit^OJl^feet in length, supports a leaden weight of three cwt. which has to be wound up dally. The clock is said to be of much more primitive construction than that made by Henry de Nick for Charles V., of France, in 1370. The clock chamber is in the northwest tower, some 120 feet high, where the sunlight has not penetrated for hundreds of years, and the winding is done by the light of a candle. ( The gong is the great tenor bell of the cathedral, which weighs thirty- two cwt., and it Is struck hourly by an eighty-pound hammer. The gong and the-striking parts of the clock are some yards apart, communication be­ ing by a slender wire. The clock has no dial.
