KRUGER ARRIVES T00 LATE Delay of the Gelderland Bpoils Pl Demonstration at Marseilles, ENTHUSIASM IS RAPIDLY DYING OUT Reception to the Boer President When He Lands Likely to Be Rat Tame A Perfunctory in Nnture, MARSEILLES, Dutch crulser Gelderiand, haw former President Kruger of African republic, is reported Toulon. The reception of Mr. likely to be postponed MARSEILLES, v. 21.—In spite heavy rain which prevalled all night during the forenoon today, the strec Marsellles were filled from an by great crowds of people in on tending a welcome to Paul Kruger, presi- dent of the South African republic. At 11:30 A m. the steamer Gelderland, carrying the noted voyager, not having boen sighted, the committee baving the details of the recep- tion In charge announced an adjournment until 2 o'clock p. m. Early in the day Dr. Leyds and Messrs. Fischer and Wessels and the other Boer delegates boarded the launch of the captain of the port, with the purpose of meeting and boarding the Gel- derland outside the harbor. The sea proved too rough, however, to permit of thelr carrying out their intention, and they were obliged to return The scene at the dock was very pleturesque. Every colgn of vantage was occupled by sightseers. The landing stage was gally decorated with the Transvaal and Nov. 21.—2 p, m. g on board the South to be off Kruger 1s until tomorrow. of a and of hour ex- early Free State colors, the French tri-color and | shields bearing the blue cross of the arms of Marsellles Decorations Very Few. A red carpet covered the ground, forming a bright splash of color at the quay-side Decorations elsewhere in the city were practically non-existent, only a few flags being visible along the route which Mr Kruger will traverse In going from the quay to the hotel. Senator Paullat, members of the Paris and Mar tlon committee assembled at the landing stago during the forenoon, and behind them, drawn up In a long line, were delegations of various patriotic socleties, with embroldered silk standards. The Sainto Marie lighthouse at the end of the breakwater serves as a viewpoint for a large gathering of spectators, as the Gel- derland will be seen first from there. Num- bers of small boats were fiitting about the fnner harbor filled with spectators. Some of the boats were decorated with little Boer and French flags, but none of the steamers at the dock was dressed with bunting. Rain, which had ceased for a time, began falling again at 11:30, whereupon, in view of the fact that the Gelderland may not arrive until late this afternoon or to- morrow, the Boer committee announced that it would disperse until 2 o'clock; the delegations from the societies furled their standards and marched off, and the crowds here in the town rapidly dissolved. The Gelderland cannot reach Marsellles before 6 o'cluck this evening. A blunder in the calculations of the time the Gelderland would require between Port Sald and Marseilles resulted in the flz- 2ling out today of the Intended demonstra- tlon and imperilled the success of the ve- ception tomorrow. The French reception committee did not take into account the gale that d the low speed of the Gelderland, but allowed all their arrangements to stand The Boer dclegates, victims of the or- jzing committee, awalted expectantly their hotel from early morning until the afternoon for the arrival of the cruiser. For several hours the carrlage Intended for Mr. Kruger remained at the entrance 1o the hotel, the horses of which were dec- orated with rosettes of Boer colors Varl- ous delegations and societies that had as- membled at the landing stage remained there through heavy showers until they realized, in the nonsignalling of the Gel- derland ,that their presence was futile. Crowd Was Sm; Today's great crowds were for greater part made up of shopkeepers and workingmen, who lost money by attending the gathering. Thirty thousand would be a generous estimate of the crowd, which was massed thickly at several points, while only sparse assemblles were to be seen elsewhe Up to a late hour no news had been re- celved of tho Gelderland, although it Is fully expected that she will anchor In the harbor before daybreak tomorrow., No importance 18 attached to the report of an injury to her machinery, the theory being that she is golng slowiy in consequence of the heavy sea. An amusing statement ap- peared in a local paper this afternoon In which an alleged rumor was published to the effect that the delay was due to the capture of the Gelderland on the high seas by a British squadron or to deliberate darage to her machinery by a mercenary. The Boer commission has Issucd a state- ment that the program Intenced today will be carrled out tomorrow. The attitude of today's concourse, while unanimously favorable to Mr. Kruger and the Boers, was nevertheless quite f anything offensive to the British, which tended to enhance the absurdity of a notsy promenade along the principal boule- vards this evening by w score of antl- British youths, whose efforts led to no dis- order whatever.

LIVING ¥ IRELAND, Standar Far Higher Than it Was Fiity Years Ago. A standard of living far higher than that of fifty years ago now prevails in the cab- ins of Ireland, says a writer in the Nine- teenth Century. The peasantry have not to rely so often as formerly upon thelr vivid imagination or their memory for a meal. There was once a meal called “po- tatoes and point.” The potatoes, before belng caten at breakfast, dinner and sup- per, were pointed at a herring hanging up, or placed in the center of the table, to serve as an imaginary relish to the simple fare, tut too precious to be consumed except on some festal day, such as Sunday. That quaint gastronomical pretense or subter- fuge is sald to have been common at one time in the cabius of Ireland. I doubt if it is practiced in these days. Of course the Irish peasantry meet with ups and downs. experience fat years and lean years, like other people. One of them, with a turn for rhetoric, said of his class, “Some- times we drink from the cup of fullness and sometimes we ate off the empty plate.” I know from personal knowledge that in por- tions of Clare, where milk Is scarce, the people a substitute composed of water whitened with flour, which they call “bull's milk.”” As a rule, however, the food of the peasantry is now more substan- tlal and more varied than it was in times past, though in some respects it may not | be perhaps so wholesome. The potato is still what it has been for a century and & | halt—the peasants’ staple article of food— but there are more appetizing adjuncts to |1t than formerly, such as butter, eggs and { American bacon. ea is drunk universally in every cabin, no matter how humble, and in most cases | s partaken of three or four times a day. | Bakers' bread has been largely substituted for the home-made “griddie-cake,” except |in aistricts remote from bakeries. Indian | meal porridge, or “stirabout,” as the peo- ple usually call it, is now eaten only in | the poorest cabiu It was Indeed never | popular with the peasantry. They resort |to it only under the compulsion of pov. |erty, as it is cheap. It bears the stigma | of pauperism. It was first introdus into :lrvlund during the famine of 1847 by the government, as an inexpensive and whole- |some food for the starving people, and it |has been widely distributed as a form of iI'nllr-f during the many periods of distress through which Ireland has passed since then. The “yallow male,” as it 1s called, ‘llu‘ll"nu came to be assoclated in the minds the people with times of poverty and misfortune, and 1 know that even the poor- est familles feel a sort of shame in eating it, as it It meant unutterable social degra- dation. concoct Nor t ROME, A Missouri a Few Bricks at the Eternal City.

Second CURIOUS NINA. eatures of Life | pire Noted the Celestial Bm- v a Forelgner, Probably the most striking thing that impresses itself upon ona who has just landed in China, writes a correspondent of Leslie's Weekly, 18 the sea of yellow faces upturned in idle curiosity, watching his movements. It takes & long time before one 1s able to find distinguishing features 1o recognize the Individuals of sallow nd monotonous faces is the everlasting etraight black hair. This the Chinese themselves consider the distinctive feature | of their race and they habitually refer to | | themselves, both in their conversation and | in their literature, as “the black-haired | sople.”” Along with these physical char- | acteristics is the generally worn blue co dress. One looks in vain among these crowds of middle and lower clags Chi- | nese for a fleck of any other color. Women | on the strects may have a fow flowers and | in thelr hair, but everywhere, | if it were the only color in the world, | is the monotonous blue. It rather shocks the sensibilities to find all the coolics and laborers stripped naked to the waist, their blue trousers tightly fastened around the waist with a girdle, | while their shoulders and arms are burned | and tanned until they are almost black hese, however, seem quite respectable | compared with the sights which greet your [ oyes as you pass off the business streets | into the quieter residence streets. Here boys, without a particle of clothing, from | those Just able to crawl up to 15 and 16| years of age, can be found everywhere | playing in the streets, rolling In the dust or squatting in the sbade of the brick | walls. In some parts of China baby girls | are also to be seen in the streets in the | me unclothed condition, but this is quite rare Except In the coast provinces of the south, the Chinese build nothing but brick Louses; but what surprises the new comer 18 to find that the bricks, instead of being red, are a blue-gray or drab color. Tha peculiar color is due to the method used | in burning them. The government main- | talns a monopoly on what we would call hard burnt brick, and red or yellow brick | are only allowed to be used in government buildings. These brick used by the com- mon people are really steamed, water being poured over the top of the kiln during the process of burning. The brick thus burned quickly becomes moss grown, so that ('m<| nese bulldings soon have an appearance of | age that is quite deceiving. The filth and squalor of Chinese streets | are notorious, and above the stench which | constantly offends the nostrils one has a | feeling of thankfulness that it is so cheap | to ride, and that he is not compelled to walk through the streets. The latter are peculiar, from the fact that the wagon roadway In the center stands up higher than tke sidewalks. This is because for centurles the accumulated litter of the streets has been swept and scraped toward the center, partly for purposes of drainage and partly because it Is the ensiest way | to get rid cf it. In some cities the center of the road is six or eight feet higher than the sides, making such high embankments that you can only get off the street at places where inclines have been built. he country roads are just the opposite, for, Instead of being bullt up, they are immense ditches, sometimes so deep that when driving through in a cart it s im- possible to see the surrounding country, This is because the Chinese farmer, while | he realizes the right of the public to the | use of the road, is still jealous to think that it should use any of his earth, and he will iz out as much soil as possible from the road and spread it over his land. These country roads become, after a heavy rain, regular canals, and it is a saying among | the Chinese that you can travel the same road sometimes by dirt and sometimes by water. One of the most pecullar things Is the flelds are cut up Into what ap- pear to be little garden patches. As a mat- | ter of fact, it is the Chinese method of irrigation. The conditions of life are so precarious that the Chinese dare not de- pend on rainfall for ralsing thelr crops, and throughout the empire, wherever there are rivers or waters to be found by wells, ir gation 1is racticed regardless of rain Ditches and trenches run everywhere and each little patch in its turn is flooded with water from the nearest well or some ad- Jacent stream, Old well sweeps, with a wicker bucket swung from one end and a stone counter- balance at the other, are constantly being worked, while along the rivers little fnlets aro dug out of the bauks, and two men | will nd on oppos! sides holding be- tween them a large wicker dipper, to which are attached four ropes. This is dropped into the river and then with a Jerk s ralsed and the water tossed into a catch- basin above, whence it is distributed. In traveling through the country one is struck by the absence of horses. Mules and donkeys you see everywhere, but the Chinese have the pecullar Oriental preju- dico against the use of the horse, and no one of rank or wealth would be seen using one. The numerous monuments and memo- rials which line the roads and appear on every prominent knoll throughout the coun try are noteworthy. Pecullar among these | st | are the many different styles of pagodas and the great tortolse monuments made by setting a heavy slab or tablet into the back of a stone tortoise. The tortoise Is the Chinese symbol of immortality or in- finlte duration. In the cities and towns these monuments more often take the shape of memorial arches or pailows, as they are called, which are bullt over the streets, and bear inscriptions commemorative of the person or event in honor of which they are built The arch has been known to the Chinesc from the earliest times, and in the massive gates of “ther cities and the splendid bridges across thelr rivers and canals some of the finest specimens in the world are to be found From the undoubted antiquity of many of the best examples it is evident that the Chinese were the real invemtors of the arch and its principles were evi- dently fully understood by them centurlos before it appeared in Europe.
