It look as If Belmont street will be paved before snow tiles, for the Ti action company who have delayed the work have begun preparations to move their tracks from the side to the middle of the street. The ties to be used in the new track have arrived. The old track will be used until the other Is completed so traffic on the road will not be storped. The action of the traction company Is mpetlng with much satisfaction from the residents of Belmont street. Subscription Increasing.

The new presidential candidate said yesterday afternoon that he would submit no more Interviews for publication. A statement In the New York World which reached Chicago today was the moving cause of the candidate's deter mination. That paper contained a "spread" article on the first page, two columns wide. In usually large type, purporting to be an Interview with him, and signed by him. The article treats of his political views, and In It he Is quoted as saying that he Is not a believer In either free silver or gold. When he saw a copy of the World containing the alleged in terview, Mr. Bryan, alter carefully reading It, said: "I never wrote out any such Inter view. It was not written for nor given to the World by me, and my signature waa never attached to such state ments." If the Baby Is Cuttin; Teeth. Mrs. Wlnslow':.

HAS REAL GENIUS FOR COMMAND He Is Honest ia a Pecnliar Way. Loves Truth, Bat Does Not Always Keep His WordBelieves and Practices Calvinism. Frank Harris, the editor of the Sat urday Review, has recently returned to London after a somewhat extended tour In South Africa. While there he studied the Transvaal situation care fully and talked with all the prominent men, both Dutoh and English. His ob servations and conclusions are of value and the series of signed articles which he Is contributing to the Review will at traot much attention. The first of these articles Is headed "President Kruger as he Is," and runs as follows: There have been so many word por traits of Paul Kruger, so many con tradictory accounts of his motives and objects, that a man with a new impres sion of him may feel some diffidence in putting it forward. But after all, the character of a ruler ia discovered by invasions and rebellions, and It is easier now to see Kruger aa he is than it waa a year ago. Speaking roughly, one Is able to div ide the existing descriptions of the president Into two classes those made by his friends and those made by his foes. His admirers have presented him to us as a sort of Boer Cromwell un lettered. It Is true, and unacquainted with the conditions of modern life, but gifted with the faculties of a leader and ruler of tlTe people courageous, honest, pious. The picture of him given by his de tractors, on the other hand, Is nol so consistent or clear In outline; the fea tures are blurred by contradictions or dehumanised by exaggeration; but If that cannot give us a recognizable or even a possible portrait of the man It can put forward facts and arguments which make one believe that this vil lage Cromwell Is a more complex, and, therefore, a more human and Interest ing it a less ethically perfect being than his worshippers Imagine. - AS TO HIS HONESTY. "You call Kruger honest and disin terested." cry his adversaries, with a fine scorn; "how, then, do you account for the fact that he's worth three or four hundred thousand pounds all made In the last eight or ten years?" And If one In defense adduces the fact that President Kruger has always saved seven-eighths of his salary and Invested his savings In farms near Jo hannesburg and Pretoria, which have Increased thirty fold In value in the last deoad If, In fact, one shows thu.t Kruger's wealth has been dishonest, he could easily have been worth as many millions as he Is now worth hundreds of thousands, his adversaries. Instead of admitting the argument, go on to point out that Kruger hna winked at bribes taken by his relatives and dis tributed monopolies among his friends, and that the administration of the Tranvaal government Is dishonorably distinguished by Incompetence and cor ruption. "This gevernment differs from all other governments," said a financier to me the other day in Johannesburg, "In that here you have to buy not only the masters, but the men. If you want a document from a government depart ment, you have to distribute 'flyers' to the clerks In order to get It In any reasonable time." All this Is probably true. . It must be remembered, however. In extenuation that the Boers, a few thousand Ignorant farmers, scattered over a great terri tory, have had In the last ten years to constitute a government, which should be able to handle all the details of a complex modern civilization, a civil ization, too, that has grown, and Is growing with unexampled rapidity. Eight years ago there was open veldt dotted with half a dozen makeshift tents and twenty or thirty bullock wag ons, where today stands the town of Johannesburg, with Its 100.UOO Inhabi tants, Its streets of brick and stone, its club. Us newspaper offices and Its min ing exchanges. The forty miles of veldt along the Rand, which could have been bought in 18S5 for a few thousand pounds, Is now worth over 1300,000,000. Men who ten years ago were struggling clerks or needy adventurers are today million aire mine owners, whose names are mentioned with respect In every Eu ropean capital. Temptations beget faults, and a society that has suddenly shot up from poverty to riches can scarcely hope to be distinguished for honesty. WINKS AT BRIBERY. It Is sufficient, surely, to say, here Scroffwla Infests the blood of humanity. It appeurs in varied forms, but is forced to yield to Hood's .Sursuparillu, which purities and vitalizes the blood and cures all such discuses. Head this: "In September, 1884, 1 made a misstep and Injured my ankle. Very soon afterwards, A So ire two inches across formed and in walking to favor it I aprained my ankle. The sore became worse; I could not put my boot I on and I thought I should have to give up 1 at every step. I could not get any relief : and bad to stop work. I read of a core of a similar case by Hood's Sarsaparilia and concluded to try it. Before I had taken all of two bottles the sore bad healed and the swelling had gone down. My Is now well and I have been greatly bene fited otherwise: I have increased in weight and am in better health. I cannot say enough in praise of Hood's Sarsapa rilia." Mb. II. Blake, Bo.

If he has given . oonoesslona to his friends that trammel Industry, and has thus enriched partisans at the public expense, his personal honesty has not been seriously Impugned Under great temptation he has been what Hamlet calla 'Indifferent honest" honest, that Is, after the fashion of poor human na ture. For there are those of us who would have our children and relations Immaculately virtuous, as if to atone for our , shortcomings, while Kruger seems content to let those near and dear to him fill their pockets ae they can, provided his own hands are clean. And if his personal honesty is indis putable, even more can be said of his courage; for courage. Indeed, Is of the essence of the man: he has shown all sides of It save, perhaps, one. His mere physical courage and insensibil ity of nerves are extraordinary as per fect in old age as in youth. More than forty years ago he him self amputated the thumb of his left hand, injured in a gun explosion; and a few years ago, when suffering from toothache, he gave proof of similar har dihood. Some of the enlightened mem bers of his family begged him to go to the dentist. But after hearing what the charges of the tooth doctor would be, Kruger. angrily rejected the sug gestion. A night or two later the pain Increased so that he could not sleep, whereupon he got up and pried the tooth open with his own clasp knife, and went to sleep afterward wlnthout more ado. A mighty hunter from his youth up he has killed llot:s and buffalo with his old single-barreled muzzle-loader the temper of his 70th year Is that ot his early manhood. While driving the oth er day with Chief Justice Kotze to see the President, the chief justice told me that when the news reached Pretoria, late on Tuesday, December 81, that Jameson with his force waa hearing Krugersdorp, he found Kruser had or dered his horse to b5 saddled, and waa getting out his rlHe, in order to go and personally lead his burghers to battle. "Now that this Jameson's on the veldt," cried the old man exultantly, "we'll soon see what he's worth." "And it took a great deal of argument to per suade the president," said tho chief Jus tice, "that his brains here in Pretoria were of more value to the state than his hand and eye out yonder on the veldt." A MAN OF COURAGE. Kruger's moral courage is bo marked that it might be mistaken tor obstinacy. Year by year as the L'ltlanders have In creased In umber, and as Johannesburg has grown In wealth and Influence, Kruger has diminished the privileges of the foreign emigrants. Before 1885 it was possible for anyone to become fully na turalized burgher of the Transvaal af ter a residence of two years and a dec laration of allegiance. Today one may pass one's life In the Transvaal with the satisfaction of knowing that one's child ren born and bred in tire state will be regarded as foreigners. And Kruger Is quite willing to take the responsibility for this retrograde actton. As a rule. It Is true, he tells you that the volksraad Is responsible for these measures; but pushed Into a cor ner he will not deny his Initiative. At tho back of his mind there ia the Jus tification, aptly phrased by his chief Hollander Adlvser: "As the flood rises, we build the dikes higher." On the other hand, this moral couruge makes noble deeds possible to him. When Jameson and his forces were pris oners In Pretoria, certain Boers de manded the Immediate trial and punish ment at least of the leader and the offi cers. But Kruger stood out against ar gument and anger with resolute Imper turablllty. One would have said, In deed, that he took a certain pleasure In the assertion of his personal will. But fairness of mind or worldly wisdom and a deep knowledge of the character of his people were shown In the way he went about among the malcontents, set ting forth his reasons for exercising mercy, and gradually pursuading everyone that Oom Paul felt as he felt, though as head of the state he was com pelled to adopt a higher course of con ducta course Justifiable by Holy Writ and not inconsistent with policy. Again and again In the last three or four months Kruger has stood against public opinion, and at length swayed it to his service. Yet even his high moral courage suf fers human lapses; his enemies say that his word Is quite untrustworthy. It would be nearer the truth to state that he la Impressionable, easily moved by those whom he trusts, and that when moved he makes promises which his practical sense prevents him from ful fillllng. His adversaries give curious instances of the peculiar way In which he twists scriptural texts for self-justification. But all this testifies to the necessity Kruger feels of explaining and Justifying his backslidlngs; In fact, it almost amounts to a proof that the man is in the main truth-loving. RELIGIOUS BELIEFS. I can say nothing as to Kruger's piety. He belongs to the strictest sect of Calvinlsts. proud even of being a "Dopper." It Is worth while to epxplain this word, because It shows the ex tremely close" relationship that exists between the Boers and the English. "Dopper" comes from "dop," which Is the German "Topf," a bowl, and is sup posed to apply to this sect of religion ists, because their wore their hair as If the barber had put a bowl upon their heads and cut around it. According to this derivation, which seems the most probable, "Roundhead," would be an al most perfect translation of "Dopper." Paul Kruger Is not only a sectary, but also a ureacher of considerable emin ence. Almost opposite his house there stands a "Dopper" church, and there President Kruger often holds forth to the Intense edification of the faithful. In truth, there Is a good deal of the ora tor in Oom Paul, and not a little of the actor as well. As Cromwell Is said to have been an epileptic, so this Botr Cromwell Is something of a neuropath. Had he been educated, he would have shown a subtle and wide intelligence. Even now, according to Chief Justice Kotze, he will discuss such questions as immortality and the beneficence of the Deity with singularly fair ap preciation of the arguments which make against his own belief, which he never theless recurs to, as If yielding to an overpowering Instinct developed through generations of pious forebears. His honesty and truthfulness suffer somewhat the same qualifications as did these qualities in his great prototype. If we must rank his ability lower than that of Cromwell, his Inferiority may well be due to the smallness of the field e.llotted to him by circumstances; and In the qualities wherein C-omwell was pre-eminent in magnanimity. In con stancy, and In courage history, maybe, will accord Paul Kruger a place but lit tle lower than that held by the great englishman. . YOUXQ GIRLS.
