President Kruger’s Salary.

Paul Kruger’s salary as President of the Transvaal works out at about £7,000 per annum, with £4OO a year for "coffee money,” i. e., for entertaining purposes. The old gentleman keeps well within the £4OO, for his official entertainments are neither numerous nor costly. As regards his private fortune, this may be put roughly at a million sterling. How he made it is known only to himself and his Maker.
