Thf Transvaal President I* Frugrtl nn<l Economical to n Fanlt. Form the New York Journal. Those who are in the habit of thinking of Mr. Kruger as a mere farmer may be surprised to hear that he is a millionaire at least once. How many times over that nice round sum has accumulated in hi* savings it Is impossible to say. To begin with, h* ha* the handsome sal ary as President of £7,000 z year, together with a coffee allowance, which is sup posed to be hi* entertaining money, of three hundred a year. Being of a frugal turn of mind, Mr. Kruger has for many years past lived on his coffee money, while out of his presidential salary and “perqui sites” he is believed to have succeeded in saving about £30.000 a year. Over and above this Mr. Kruger has many indirect sources of income. It has been shown that he has o very large in terest in the Netherlands Railway, while be i* also directly concerned in the con sumption of dynamite, as well as several other flourishing monopolies. Mr. Kruger owns over one hundred farms in different parts of the Transvaal. Some are pro ductive. other* ore not. For instance, in the Rustenburg district many of the beet tobacco-growing farms are his, and the lessees pay him very handsome rents. His gold mining farms have also brought him in a goodly amount. A few he has sold to the hated Uitlander capitalists; others he retains, or hopes to retain. Comparatively recently a farm he had held for some years was floated into a gold mining company, and although his name does not appear in the list of .share holders he received almost the whole of the purvjha.se price in cash. It is said that many of the Transvaal President’s safest Investments have been made In Holland and Germany. He is likewise re ported* to be a heavy holder of German consols and French rentes. Personally, Mr. Kruger is not a generous Individual, despite his great wealth. At the time of the dreadful dynamite ex plosion in Johannesburg a few years ago the I'itlander firms subscribed a magnifi cent total not far short of eighty thousand pounds to alleviate the distress of the families whose bread winners were killed All the victims were either poor Boers, natives or Chinamen; literally not one Englishman suffered. Mr. Kruger was asked for a subscription and promised twenty-five pounds. Nervousness Is cured by making the blood rich and pure with Hood's Sarsa parilla.

They arc from the cele brated wine grower .Martin Deutz of Frank fort -on-lhe-Main, Germany, His Bodenheim Rhine wine is very nice and delicious, but low price.

June 13 —As there is a curi ous sameness in the character of the South African veldt, so there is a certain likeness in all the fights that the Eng L-h army has had in the present war. Ar.d as one look.* back there is a composite recollection which perhaps is an impres sion of them all. To describe this Impres sion would doubtless be quite as good as to describe an actual occurrence, for it might be one of several. And what is it like? How dee* it im press one whose business is not lighting, but merely that of recording what he sees or hears? In the firs* place, a battle i c wholly different from anything one has ima.i..el or gothered from pictures or reading. It is utterly and absolutely v- id of grand ur or of glamor; it has a work-a-day aspert, the modern battle, and yet It produs a strange sensation of unreality. Bo let t:s take an all-day fight which may l>o one c 2 any of the seven or eight that f have seer, while with the western column. The evening before rumors are rife. Th*' general's light burns late. It is w ispend about that fighting will begin at dayr r ak, but exactly where is uncertain. Tne 80-rs are the ones who have won the to s, they are so mobile and can charge front so quickly, their positions are 60 well hid den: and. alas, the scouting of the Eng lish is usually so miserable that the only fact known is that the enemy are in front. The camp stirs at early dawn; it is afoot quicker than usual, perhaps; theie; v ! j#l|jS§||i|jgf ! I SCENE AT BEACONS FIELD, SOUTH AFRICA.

It and tea art? Tommy’s righ:- ing draughts. There Is no sign • f hush-d expectancy or nervousness; the privates joke and talk and laugh, they -qua abau* the little fires, feeding them with bi s of bush and brushwood. It seems like any other day save for the galloping ovi rlie* from headquarters, who. clattering here and there, change from one regiment to another. Lumbering batter! s of artillery move out through the camp .lines.

Without material music, or p -mp, or ceremony, the army moves, and the ron combatant falls in somewhere or any- GROUP OF PRISONERS TAKEN BY THE BRITISH.

His dinger zone is bounded by liis curiosity and 1 :■ scent for news. Fore aril! Thrre is a line of kopjes rolling In suc cession down to the bush dotted banks of a river. The Boers are there. But in the spreading morning light these k i>- jes look as innocent as any of the hun dreds of other mighty hutnmo ks that have been passed In safety. There is no fluttering flag to mark the enemy's position, there arc no bristling guns, no line of earthworks, nothing but the hare rocky hills rising out of the grey green plain. Off to the left and right siretch ihe lines of men in khaki, they do not look like the spruce soldiers one secs at Aldershot or swaggering down Picadilly. Their uniforms are weather stained the heavy helmets are dented and battered: their trousers are in rents, thetr boots in - some eases are held together with strps of cloth or leather th ir faces a;e hord ed and burnt red br> nxe with tin sun. But on they go from irft to rieht and for ward always, leads up and shoulders i hack, with their heavy harness weight-, ing them down and their pouches fi led with gleaming brass cartridges The i rifles form a threatening Iringe above.

Here come the am bulances, making the only bit of color in the whole picture with their great flut tering red cross flags. They draw up In a little hollow in the rear, where they wait for the loads that will soon be '* irs. You can see the dostore and , th ir assistants stretching an awning so i they can do their work in the shade. : There is a halt, and the dun colored : ranks sink down in tlie grass. The men aght their pipes; two or three take out s raps of newspapers and begin to read. Th y are already at work on the water 1 *ottl‘:s, although they cannot yet be thirsty. An otlDer standing with a group of others passes a silver cigarett case. They laugh and talk It migh be a field day. Vou begin to think that perhaps, after a l. the kopjes that are lined up ahead j are empty. Perhaps they know it. Little Dot* on the Plain. But suddenly little dots appear down ; on the plain. I always look at those dots with wonder and admiration. They may be Lancers, they may be Hussars or mounted Infantry. If they are Colonials perhaps, so much the better. But, who ever they are, they are the feel-rs of the righting force, the advance pilots as it were who tell of dangers ahead and shoals to be avoided. They move to right* and left; surely' the i kopjes must be empty, for the dots are almost in the dark blue shadows at the toot. Suddenly they halt, they scamper to and fro and halt again. A tiny speck comes charging out from among them to ward the waiting lines. You find it with your field glasses. It is a riderless horse. Farther down toward the river is an other—perhaps there are several, and now he docs like men are all coming back. Some are on foot; some are leading their steeds by the bridle. The talking along; the hillside is stopped. Everybody is looking a r the kopjes now’. Listen your closest and you will hc/.r weak little cougning repons, spa*TnodL ; barks; those are the Mausers. The Doers i are there! A few r sharp orders and the men lurch | out of the grass; the lines are formed. It Is yet two miles or more o the dark blue shadows, but the air is so cUar that they .-e<m scarcely a thousand yards away. Down upon the plain gallops a battery iof arr.ilery, the men lashing ard the r.orses =:ret- hing out. They seem regard- of any heaps and furrows, they ..urge through a gap in the wire, fencing and swerve round wirh a flourish a quar ter of a mile or so further on. The men jump from their limbers, it seems hard’y . nr. instant, and there comes a sharp ; clanging report, and then a sixring. hiss ing roar in a defined diminuendo. Heavy Firing Begin*, A little ball of smoke suddenly jumps out of the sky over the black kopje. ' “What ho! She bumps!” cried a Tommy. "Too short,” snys someone, and now there comes another report, and then another. You soon get used to them. But on the left and center the khaki men are moving, the skiimishers aieout ahead, tramping steadily on at equal distances, rid behind them fo low the grayish yel low lines, waving and undulating. They s*-em to b end into the color of the ground ui 1 it is hard to follow them without the use of the glasses. They disappear over a rise in the plain not before observed. A little knot of men press forward by thems- Ives behind the others. They carry no arms, but bear ominous looking brown invas rods on their shoulders. It Is not the time lo philosophise, but somehow the qtiemion. "What is the use of it id?" flashes into your mind. Why should the men on the kopje want to kill the other men advancing? What should the men on the plain want to make holes In the men on the kopje for? It is past all reasoning, perhaps, but, strange to say, there does not appear to be anything hor rible In It. It has all been done In such a casual manner. It looks quite harmless. It has not os yet the contagious excite ment of a fire, or a football game. It Is a bli unreal and Ineffective as a spectacle. You move closer down. As you start forward, except for the regular discharge of the battery guns, the day might be like j any other. The tame little ground birds hop ahout close to your feet, a startled springbok leaps and bounds over the veldt. The sky is clear and blue. It is growing very hot. You look at your watch and are surprised to And that folks at home are generally In bed l Una biu,j Suddenly off the front there breaks out a noioe. It begins with a few muffled explosions ; like the first bursting of firecracker? in j a barrel, then a roar of them. The whole j pack is off. There comes a whizzing j buzzing noise overhead; one of the strays of the battlefield has passed you. A lit tle thump and something strikes the ground near by with a spiteful little kick up of dust. At the sfme time there comes a larger noise from the direction of the kopje, and a sound like that of a small planing mill whirling through the air. A muffled report, and a red cloud rises near where the battery of horse* are standing. “So they've got a gun. too.” you think. Yes. two of them, or three, perhaps, for more screeches and more red spurts fol low. The battery of horse does not move, the drivers sit apparently unconcerned and the men at the guns jump hither and thither at their work. The little puffs of smoke still rise in the air ir. front. Marked for a Holiday. But It is Fourth of July in front, and you perceive that the little hollow into which the infantry ha3 disappeared is a good place to go. As you mark the rise, the huhble bubble grows clearer— a man 1* walking towards you. his coat is hanging loose over his shoulder. Ills arm is tied up in a white bandage, it has red spots on it. May be the man is smok ing a pipe. “How’s it going on up there?’’ you ask. “Oh, very* good. sir. The Buffs ie well in front.” (It might be any other regiment, but the answer would be the same.) This wounded man doesn’t to care much. He'd stay and chat with you if you liked. He's quite pleased with him self. Perhaps he has visions of the three weeks’ holiday at Wynberg down in the colony, where they feed men on jellies ar.d give them flowers, and where well-inten tioned young iadiee speak freely without introductions. At any rate, there doesn't seem to be anything frightful about it. So you wish him good luck and go on toward the knoll. (Of course, I am taking it for granted that your curiosity ie not yet satisfied.) It is, perhaps, here that you get the first shock, as it were, for you suddenly come upon the dressing station, pitched amidst a little siuit in the rocks. There are two score of men sitting or lying about, the doctors are operating in the center. Some men stand up, others lie down to it. The doctor works like a seam serf's* fitting on a gown; he tries to seeing how much he can do in a minute in order that his cus tomers shall not be kep< waiting. There is no complaining. It is all very* business like; there is no tossing about, groaning, no praying, although near by lie several still figures covered up in brown blankets with their hob-nailed boots protruding or, perhaps, only with a handkerchief or a helmet covering their faces. Names and numbers will be posted in the war office to-morrow, end people will come and look a: them and go way. The bearers with the Red Crose ban dages on their arms bring in more bur dens. One of the burdens is an officer. He is badly hurt. The men grouped aho.it whisper. The surgeon greets him by name. The man on the stretcher smiles at him faintly. “Going to send me down the line, old chap? ’ he asks. The doctor makes r.o re ply. He’s busy bending aver him. The officer is going a longer Journey thin “down the line;” you can see that at a glance. The doctor whispers to him. He nods his hea<|. How Eay to Get in the Row. You may feel as if you w'ere intruding; a desire comes to you to see what all the row is about over the crest of the hill. And it is strange now quickly you get into it. It increases in clearness with ev ery 6tep you take; row it is like the jolt ing of a wagon, and now like the sound of a boy running down the side of a stretch of palings with a stick. You can see the fighting men. Some are quite clo? to others on so far ahead that you wofidCr how they got there, and they are still moving forward. On, on, on, they go! They are on the foot of the kopje, away off from the left a little band has almost gained the crest —the row* is awful there—but there is no smoke, no enemy, nothing but invisible, death-deo.bng sounds. The men laugh and talk; some imes they grunt, fall down, and lie limp mid dles in the grass. Suddenly an officer comes gall -ping back. He is the first mounted men you have seen for a time. “The So-and-sos have turned the flank,” he shouts. “The cavalry are work ing up from behind. We’ve got them on the run!” Then off he goes to look for a general, where the red flag waves on the hill. A lull follows, preceded by a few drop ping obstinate sound n? shots. Every one moves forward. Looking hack you can pee the water cans with th Ir tug ging mules, and far beyond the dark line cf the transport. So you climb the hill with the rest, and many limp figures are there. A few unkempt, bearded farmers, some gray, some hardly more than boys, lie here along the crest. If they are alive, they glar> at you at first. The soldiers stand about anl lock at them with curiosity, while others knH beside them and offer water bott-es. Behind the rocks in the well concealed trenches are shining pile.* of ammunition. Pencil-lik* mausers, clumsy Martinis, and, alas, deadly explosive missils that the Tom mies pick up and curse. Tt is over—all but the recovering, for shouting there is none. Where has the day gon Where are the guns, and where rest cf the unkempt, bearded ones? Cleared, van ished, made c-ff with the guns that they had laboriously drawm up lo the top of the kopje. They are back some seven or eight miles in another line. Seme may be watching now from river bank. Asa Tommy facetiously remarked. “They are not dead, but gone b-fore.” And this is what a battle is like, and not one battle, but many in South Africa There Is a meaning there, here are things that have caused one much wonder and ail these I leave out of the telling James Barnes. SUPERIOR MERIT, Remarkable Curntire Properties of a Remedy for Indi&entlon noil Stomaeli Weakness. Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets, a | repara t on for the cure of dyspepsia and the various forms of indigestion and stomach tr u I?, owes its great success as a cire for these troubles to the fact that it Is prepared for disease and weakness of the stomach and digestive organs only, and is- net r com mended or advised for any other di-ease.
