Jack thrown over something io the middle of the chamber. When I asked my friewd what it was be told me it was a statue of Kruger, and for once in his life he was covered with the rigbt colors.

Time and space will not permit of my tellingof lets uf things I saw there, tor ; there might be volumes written about tos building. Nearly all the public offices ure iu this building, also there are beauti ful gardens all around it and several statues of great men, but as the inscriptions were in Dutch I passed them dy. There is also a fine post office, market house and square. The outside of the market house has a big verandah attached to the matin building, and all under it are tables like we see home in our Own market. They have a market three times a week. The post cflice is now run by our men as well as the telegraph office.

Tnere is also a very fine City Hall and Potice Station, aChief of Police and 12 policemen who get $60 per month. They all live in the ¢tation and board there

We alro visited Government House. It is a beautiful place also. Steyn had altogether three fine residences io the city and one a mile out of town. The principal hotel is called Maeonic Hotel.

All the shops are two stories high and are not up t> Canadian stores, although there are one or two departmental stores very fine indeed. The store that seems to do the best businese 1s called the Colonial

Supply House ;itis run by an English- mao named Teasde]. He employs about twenty five hande.

There are no sidewalks worth speak- ing aboat, but there is ® water tap On near- lyevery corner. The etreets are as wide as our own. All the houses are set in o ff the street, I mean the residences, and have gardens in frout of mostofthem. They have incendescent electric lights on the street. The principal trade of the town is 1p supplying the surrounding country with whatever they want. ‘T’here are no manu- factories inthe town of any importance.

The white man does very little labc: here, except the tradesman and mechanic, for black boys do the most of it. and receive for their labor from 15 to 25 shillings per movth and board. A carpenter gets about 20 shillings per day, and otner trades about the same. A good mason or brick layer geta a little more. Of couree they ficd themeel ver.

The doctors here get £1 for each visit, and often times more. There are about ten of them in the town. Of dentists \ there are three, they get about five times as much as the dentists do at home, sud they sre away bebind the times. There are two papers printed in the town as far asi could find out. They sre printed baif in English and halfin Dutch.
