Among the half-clvlllred countries under- Kolng the process of civilisation and dcvei- npmcnt , Into which the wealth offered by natural resources has led men , some travel ers nro Inclined to rank the Trar.m-aal of South Africa ns the nrst. One of thceo U William J. Hooves of Chicago , formerly of Omahn , who hns Juit returned to this coun try from Johannlsburg nnd who has been In town the past week. MMoro gold will come out of that country this year , " said Mr. Reevw , "than out of California ninj the Klondike put together. In January of last year they took out of the Simmer nnd Jnck. the largest mine there , 48,000 tons of crushed gold ore , which jleldcd 21,000 ounces of metallic gold. This mlno emplojs 4,500 Kainrs and 2,000 white men. K. L. Webster , nn old Omaha man , who bull I the waterworks at Florence , Is the mechan ical engineer for thl * mine. "Tho Chicago wheat pit | H a tame jilaco for excitement compared to the Johannls- burg stock exchange when the Kadlr stocks , the gold mlno stocks , nro going up. The place where ull their dealings In stocks nra carried on is a section of the street that rum along in front of the exchange building , cut oft from through tranic at cither end by chains. 'Uetwecn the clinlnn' Is the common name of the place. At certain times jou can eue scenes of the wildest excitement herb. Millions of pounds sterling were lost and won hero In January and February of this year , when they had that famous boom In Kaffir stocks. They have their own system of conducting business , entirely unlike that used in Chicago or Now York , and It Is hard for n stranger to learn , A man who docs not know It thoroughly Is likely to get the worst of the dealing , too , and had better keep out of 'Between the chains. ' "Tho mines prefer American machinery to that made In any other country , on account of the fact that It U turned out faster to > order and Is better finished , moro attractive and has finer work on It. Nearly all the largo , machine manufacturing houses of this country are represented there. And there Is another department cf American Industry which has already gained a foothold , or more than a foothold , In Johannlsburg. There It lots of American beer sold there , beoldos the German nnd English beers. Y .loIiiiiuilNliui-K mill Vicinity. "Tho country , although politically a re public nnd nominally In the hands of the Dutch colonists , the Doeis , Is almost run by the English. There nre also a great many Americans nnd Germans In Jolvuinlsbmg The Kaffirs , the original Inhabitants of the country , were coiiQuered by the Uoers nnd hnvo no rlchta nt all. They are not even allowed to walk on the sidewalks In Jo- hannlsburc , but must take the middle of the street. They are not allowed to live in the town at nil. "Tho city has about 40,000 or 45.000 In- habltnnts. The different nationalities that Is. the Germans , English nnd Americans- do not dlvldo up , but mingle together. They have two clubs there and a considerable society of the better class. The English are the mlno owners , principally. The poor man has no show there , unless he Is an extra flue mechanic. In which case ho can command wages of 21 shillings , or $3 23 , per day. They will have nothing to do in the mines with nny but the best mechanics. But living costs there about three times ns much as in America. "Tho 'Reef , ' ns It Is called , Is tbo place where all the mines nre located. Hero Is where most of the Kaffirs nre. The different mines hnvo 'compounds , ' n hollow square mndo of four lines of huts , In which the Kaffirs live. It Is amusing to see n Kaffir on a Sunday nftcrnoon pnrndlng up nnd down hero with n war club and an umbrella In his hands , nothing1 tout n breech cloth on and his body made shiny with oil. The Kaffirs and the Zulus , who nro also com monly cnlled Kaffirs , though there la n difference , nro very line physical speclmene. "Thcso Kaffirs llvo ' ' on 'mealies' and 'meallo * mush , which is simply our corn- meal. A Knffir when he travels carries with him n sack of corn , some salt and a Dutch oven , which ho calls n 'mealle' pot , nnd ho Is ready to go to housekeeping any where ho happens to be. Those who llvo on the 'veldt , ' or plnln , and own BOUIO cattle travel in a wngon that hns a house on the front end of It. With this ho comes to town -with what ho raises. The Kaffir comes to iho mines , works about six months nnd then goes back to where his people nro and buys a wife. Ho first puts the money he has sa\cd into cattle. In a Kaffir's estimation cattle nro the real ivoalth of the woild. With cattle ho can get a wife ; six or seven oxen ate paid for a wife. If ho wnnts another wife he goes back to the mines and works again. When ho has flvo or six wives , ho quits woiklng , goes back to the country nud begins to accumulate cattle. Girls are welcomed into the fnmli'y much moro heartily than bojs , for the , boys firing nothing , while the girls arc each worth EO many cattlo. "Dutch Is the language of Johnnnlsburg , but the Kaffirs have a language of their own which they reinforce with clicks mndo with itho tongue. There Is the tongue click , thereof roof click nnd the thront click. A man not n Kaffir doea not understand what they mean except that they are used Instead of modula tions of the voice. A Knffir ne\er raises his voice. Instead , when he Is angry or In n hurry ho adds some clicks to what ho says. I'ri-Nlilciit Uniii I'uul.

There have been no servers In Johnnnlsburg up to this tlmo , but n company Is now at work putting In a system. In spite of this fact Johnnnlsburg Is not an unhealthy place "The government derives a considerable revenue from the fines Imposed on those who Klvo or sell liquor to the Kafllrs The Kaffirs are Riven to drinking a good deal , but It Is forbidden to eefl or give them liquor. Xcverthless they gct hold of a good deal of Knfllr beer. They nre better protected In many ways hero than they are In the Capo colony , "U'ood nnd feed nre scarce nnd hlgh-prlcod articles In the Transvaal. All the wood tim bers used In the mines hnvo been Im ported nnd almost all of them came from the Puget sound country. Of late jenrs they have had fair success at growing n sort of gum trco nnd are getting n sinnll nmount of lumber from that. Hut nil the buildings of Johannlsburg , and there nro many Jlno four nnd five-story ones , nro of brick or stone. The resiliences of the middle ctass nre made of corrugated Iron , because wood Is so expensive. And feed commands such prices that It costs about ? 7f > per month to keep a horse. When you take a horse to ft feed 5tablo you always watch him fed , otherwise ho will get about one-third of what you pay for. "Tho railroads are about the snmo In the Trnnsvnnl ns they nro In England , except that first-class there would bo about equal to third-class In England , There nro no sleepers Every traveler carries his own rug or blanket to sleep In nnd also a canvas water bottle to cool his water In , for Ice U scarce , too. The water seeps throush the cnnvas slowly and evaporates on the out side , making what remains on the Insldo very cold Varied Ktpprloiicrn , "Travelers In that country have all kinds of experiences , some of thorn amnslne nnd others not so much so. A fnvorito pastime of parties of foreigners Is to shnko dice to see who pnjs for six bottles of pop. Then. Instead of drinking the pop , they use It to wnsh their faces and hands In , The man who throws highest washes his fnco In It first nnd the rest follow In turn. Then number one washes his hands In It. The water there Is so filthy In the summer time thnt It Is not oven used to wash In. "They have a way of advertising Ameri can goods there nnd putting up n great tnlk nbout how American their things nre. In one of the places that had a largo sign , 'American Drinks , ' out In front I asked for a Manhattan cocktail. The bartender , who spoke with n Whltecluipel dialect , put a llttlo of every cordial he had In the house but ono .Into a tall champagne glass. I think ho used glass for Ice , too. Tl en he offered me the mixture. " 'Hold on there , ' I said. 'Haven't you forgotten ono of the Ingredients ? There's the crcino do menthe bottle over In the corner I haven't seen you touch that' Well , In go three or four dashes of the cremo do mentho. "Then I offered him a shilling to drink It and a shilling nnd six for n straight drink. But ho wouldn't drink It and I had to pay for It and cct a straight drink besides. "Another tlmo n theater advertised to have nn American voc.illst who would slug American coon songs. Some men I knew went down to hear her and the next day I asked how they liked her. They said she sang the coon songs In a Whltcchnpel dialect ! "A representative bill of faro In one of their restaurants reads Hko this : 'Scotch mutton bioth , mutton pie , country sayle , roast mutton , with mint sauce ; mutton stew , Fanib , with mint sauce ; mutton fricassee , lamb chops , slowed mulberries and rice. " This meal would cost five shillings , or $1.25. ' 'Tho railway trains In that country are wonderfully accommodating. Once I was on a train thnt stopped out on the open plain , nnd every passenger asked what It was stop ping for. The guard told us that the fire man had refused to obey 'tho engineer's orders , and the engineer was thrashing him. When the thrashing had boon given the train proceeded. HiitN OIT to the- National Aiitliem , "On the boat from Southampton to Capo Town there Is nlwajs a band and sooner or later It gets around to 'God Save the Queen , ' when every man's hat comes off. I took mlno off with the rest. Ono day I found n piece of music I had picked up in Johannls burg. It was a medley of 'Marching Through Georgia , ' 'Way Down Upon the Suvvaneo River , ' 'Yankee Doodle , ' 'Hot Time' and perhaps a few moro. I gave it to the band leader nnd nskcd him to make out , some parts to It for the band. He did and the next day he was ready toplay It. When the band started up on the first part of that medley I whipped off my hat and said to the gentlemen on the deck around me- " 'Genti'emon , this Is < ho American national nnthem. Wo always take our hats off to It. ' 'All right , ' they said , and they 'took their hats off. There was an English lord on board whom I had met and I went up to hltn nnd bald : " 'Lord So-and-So , this Is the American national anthem. ' And his lordship took off his hat. Then I went up Into the wheel house , where the captain was , holding my hat In my hand. " 'Captain , ' I said , 'this Is the American national nnthem. ' IIy this tlmo the band had got around to 'Hot Time,1 but the captain didn't know the difference , and didn't hesitate. " 'All right , ' ho said , and he took his hat off and held It In his hand until the band had finished.

Ho was traced to Kansas City , where he Is now under nnest nn n similar charge , as ho seemi to have picked up the halter of a Missouri horeo and the MIssourlans took exception to his free dom In handling their property. After his arrest he confessed that ho had driven Mr. TlobcrUnn's horse south until about wlxty miles west of Leavenworth , he thinks somewhere - where near Nortonvlllo , Kan. , where ho soil the outfit to an old soldier. Ho gave his name a Cyrus Hunter and his business as n fancy decorator. The police are endeavorIng - Ing to secure his return for trial , but as the MUsourlans have a good case against him they muy not be luccessful. SOOTHING A TROUBLED BOY Experiences of a Foreign Fainter with tin Omaha Lnd in Chicago , DIFFICULT DUTY OF KEEPING QUIET \olalilr Speech I'lrril nt HIP VOIIIIR- MIT While < lic I'nliilrr I'lilntcd On HcciillfiMlmi * of I'dlx A distinguished portrait painter bearing the Kronen nnmo of 1'ellx Moschclcs paid n visit to the United Stntcs several years ago nud was so Impressed with what ho saw that ho opened studios In New York nnd ClHr.'fio Ills experiences In this coun try were sufficiently novel to bo preserved In book form under the title , "Fragments of nn Autobiography , " which was Issued re cently. Ono chapter of the book Is devoted to his experience with a bright Omaha boy , the then 4-yenr-old Hobcrt Morse , son of W V Moise. Mr. Moschelcs gives n description of the boy , bis mother nnd the difficulties they both experienced In getting the joung- stcr to sit patiently for his portrait. Ho writes thus of the Incident : "I had got very busy In the studio I had taken In Chicago , where 1 was npendlng the winter of 1S87 , when n very pleasantly worded letter reached mo , Inviting mo to transfer my studio to Omaha , two dajs' Journey farther "west. I could not accept the Invitation and so It was arranged that nt least ono of my Intending models should bo brought to mo to bo dealt with accord ing to the severe laws of the portrait painter's art. Uobert Morse was 4 years of ngo and had n distinct objection to bo thus dealt with nnd out of that circumstance arose a series of difficulties. But , oh , ( low beautiful ho was , I sec him now as do was handed out of the carriage on his arrival nt the Hotel Uictiellcu , his golden curls escaping fiom beneath his Phij-glan cnp of liberty nnd cascading o\er his shoulders. Wo were In the depth of winter nnd his sturdy llltbj llgure was warmly clad In the nmplo folds of the toboggan costume a sort of ulster mndo of deep-toned red flannel , collar nnd cuffs of the snmo material , but dark blue , nnd the cap to match. His mother led him unstolrs or I tlould more concctly say , speaking of this t > plcal American child , was led upstairs by him. After forty-eight bouts' traveling that lady stepped out of the train much ns if It were ono of those boxes maikcd "Worth , Paris. " She was a lovely woman , ns I soon learned ; lo\oly not only In outward appearances , but In that moral and Intellectual scnso which the American language connects with the word. " A Dctcriiiliifil M le Sitter. Then follows a description of the mother , the determination to paint the boy In full length nnd n head portrait of the mother Then ho begins his story of the difficulties made by the boy , who declined to sit or to lca\o the studio when his mother wap sit ting. Ho tells of the devices used to cir cumvent the powers of reslstcncc , all of which failed miserably. Even the wife of the painter succumbed to the boy and his determination not to do what was wanted of him. Mr. Mosc-heles Illustrates this feat- turo thus : "At all hours of the day Robert was de lightfully ibrlght , but his cutcness seemed sharpened as bedtime approached. Not that ho objected , as most children do , to going to bed , but however sleepy howas his spirit of resistance seemed somehow to revive when the moment came to recite his llttlo prayer. On ono occasion all -went smoothly as long as ho prayed for his father and mother , his brothers and sisters , but when It came to his uncles nnd aunts and to their numerous off spring ho made a decided stand , putting It plainly to his mother , 'I say , mamma , why can't they pray for their own crowd ? ' An other tlmo there had been In the course of the day a distinct difference of opinion be tween Robert and his mother on the ad visability of his going out sleighing. Ho gave In wllti unwonted docility , but when the evening came and the fond mother folded her hands nnd knelt by his bedside ho shook his .head and said , 'No , mamma , no sleigh , no prayers ! ' " Finally Mr. 'Morse ' came on t < 5 assist , as the tlmo was growing short. The painter says the fattier stood the boy's doings for a tlmo and then. In a decided manner , took him awav to another room. Mr. Moscheles continues : "nut If I expected howling nnd gnashing of teeth I was to bo disappointed. Nothing broke the silence until after some time the door opened nnd father nnd son reappeared. Robert took his place , clutched the cord attached to the toboggan and listened with rapt nttentlon to his fnther's words. These WCTO spoken slowly nnd Impressively , giv ing mo tlmo to apply whatever fnculty of correct drawing I possessed. The Pntlier i\iilnlilN It. " 'Sir , ' ho began solemnly , 'Robert wishes mo to communicate to you what has pawed between us during our atosenco from the room. It did not take me long to elicit from him the fact that ho has no desire to ECO his portrait finished. Ho has even assured me that as far ca ho was concerned it need never have been painted at all. He further stated that ho at no time formed a desire to visit Chicago , and that ho much prefcrroJ Omaha to that city. Also , ho said ind 1 think with some show of reason that hav ing no playmates hero ho would Hko to re- turrj to those ho left behind , moio espe cially hlH brothers and sisters. Now , sir , you are aw are that I , on the other hand , wished him to make It possible for you to finish that portrait and I could see no cause why I should recede from that posi tion , so I politely but flrmly requested him to do as I desire. There aie , no doubt , some boys , who , when thus thwarted and opposed , would not have hesitated to strike their fathers , but Robert Is not n boy of that description. Ho would at nil times respect his father's Independence Still , you see , wo were nt whnt jou might call loggerheads. Wo had gotten flxcdllko In a dark place with no door behind us , the windows left out and n stone wall In front Under these circumstances I cast about In my mind , and It occurred to mo wo should do well to make straight for arbitration. Now Robert said ho did not know the pre cise meaning of arbitration , so I explained to him that when two pnrtles could not ugrco It was usual to call in a third to dccldo which way things were to bo settled. I wanted to nominate jou , sir , but Robert put In his opinion that jou might not bo the right person for our purpose. Ho eald I myself should do better , so after giving the matter careful consideration I decided that Robert should eomo In and take friendly to that toboggan and cord and that ho should generally make himself portrait- able. I further decided that as long as It lasted I should elt hero patiently and wait , but that as soon ns you had finished I might go and procure- horse to have a rldo on the rend to Omaha , and that I should also procure a pony EO that Robert might accompany mo on that ride. ' "Robert listened Intently. I painted ditto. They say In Omahn , where the portrait hangs , that it Is good. So 'all's well that ends well. ' Of that I am glad and as I recall the Incident I am once moro lost In admiration of the American child that from Its earliest days is ever ready to elicit the noblest qualities of patience and forebear- auco In the parent It U training.
