Cecil Rhodes is one Of those charac-
tiers that come TO the front in half
formed countries. Shrewd, unscrupu-
Ious, he has within a quarter Of a cen
fury risen from the position Of bank
clerk not to a millionaire, but 10 a
grasping despot He had almost or
ganized an empire. in South Africa
There seems every reason TO believe
that Cecil Rhodes worked to make first
a South African Republic, and next
would have himself proclaimed dicta-
tor. 1t is curious how the ambition OF
man carries him on. The wealth of
Cecil Rhodes gave him the command
of everything that heart could wish
in the most brilliant cities OF America
or Europe But he preferred the path
of ambition, which has tied him down
Just now to hardship at BuluwayO and
will probably land him in the felon's
dock if President Kruger's accusa-
tons prove true. And yet people say
there is no romance in the last part Of
the Nineteenth Century.

Tot realize. the hand of death

he did not realize. the hand of death
upon him?
Another great novelist left his work
unfinished in the person of Bulwer
Lytton. The last OF a trilogy of which
the first was the romantic story of the
''Vryl" force, the second "Kenelm Chill
lingIy," and the third. the "Parisians.' %
was unfinished. In this case we get
some insight into his work Bulwer
was a laborious writer and made many
notes ahead. These have been pub
lished. But we cannot get the fire of
thought OF the author, We can only
get fine bone of the skeleton One
story that he had jotted down TO use
occurs TO mind. Among the charac-
ters in the book were a dog and his
master. The period dealt with was
the fall of the Empire of Napoleon III,
and the siege of Paris came in for de-
scription This description was very
finely given. The most realistic of
that awful time in Paris. But the
ihdSLSl manu- Iul AiCh COiN anu the du-
thor was dead before it was finished
Among the notes for the next chapter
it was seen that the owner OF the
dog was to have been forced to kill
his dog 70 sustain life and then after
the dinner o. the dog he was to have
said: Poor FidO, how he would have
enjoyed the bonesr'
On the other hand, nothing can be
more sad than Buckle, the great his
torfan. dying in Damascus. who had
planned and worked for twenty years
upon his great WORK of The History
of Civilization and died having only
completed two out of some thirty
volumes, and yet the two volumes
will be a monument to him for all
time
Vanity of Vanities Mans work is
never finished and the most brilliant
fall before all they could do is done.
But this should be said, it is better TO
fall in the full power of ones fame
than to outline ones fame and be-
come, like blind Belizarius, a beggar
seeking an "obolus," after living an
almost imperial life and holding an
absolute sway over a devoted army.
1t is quite evident one can live too
long.

THE HAND OF DEATH.

1t has been TO the writer ineXpres-
sibly sad to read the unfinished liter
airy work of great authors. Mrs. Gas
keIT- was the first author of the kind
that we remember. The last story
from her pen coming to an abrupt end
or rather coming to no end seemed
inexpressibly sad. But there are far
more prominent authors than Mrs.
Gasken. Dickens left us the unfinish-
ed Mystery of Edwin brood, which
will remain mystery to all literary
time. What had been done with the
body? Some think that they can I'M
ravel it, but who can tell what was in
the wizard novelist's brain? He had
something in the background which he
had told no one He wrote up to one
afternoon and the next day he was
dead
Thackary also left an unfinished
novel. "Denis Duval,' and certainly
those who have read the seven chap
tiers that he completed must see that,
if anything, it was going to be his best
work. The cynicism which marked his
earlier writings had departed and
there is a sweetness, a mellowness,
about those seven chapters which can
probably not be found in any of his
writings. In Vanity Fair" there is
intense bitterness, so there is in Pen
dennis" and in fact in any half-dozen
of his works that one can name. Now,
would Lne cynical vein have returned
or had the dying man mellowed
toward all mankind as he felt, though

ADJUSTMENTS.
A GREAT PLAY

The Girl ! Left Behind Nc" ro-
mantle drama Of Western life. by David
Belasco and Fraklin Fyles. will be pre-
sented at the Grand Opera House next
Wednesday night. The play has been
one Of the greatest successes of the
past two years. Though il has a bat
tie scene of Intense interest the piece
is far from being a conventional war
drama, of the blood and thunder or
der so repulslve to the better class
of theatre-goers. The play deals with
military life at Post Kennion. in the
Blacltoot country. Montana. during
the Indian uprising OF 1890, and there
are many scenes of intense and excit-
ing kind. particularly the one where
the Indians attack the littlegarrson at
sunrise. Although the background of
the play is rough. il is in every respect
a polished piece. It's dialogue is terse
and direct. its action rapid and culmi-
native, its climaxes growing stronger
with each act. The lighter sides of
the play rest on the love making OF
several couples, all of whom are the
young people of the garrison.

volver and passed it to O'Dell, and both

to walk toward the door the cunviots held
their guns close to tho keepers sides and
threatened to shoot If they made a false

A Descendant Of Governor Telfair Con-

York Concerning the Possession of the
Vast Esiato-s25. 900, 900 If Heirs Win.
NEW YoRK, Nov. 2.-R. Telfair Small
OF Atlanta is young man with shrewd
brown eyes and "A manner that carries con
yiction. So, when he says he intends TO
devote all of his energies to the work he
has set before him you do not doubt him
for an instant, and the conviction is eVon
stronger when it is known that no is after
the possession of something considerably
more than S25, 600, 600.
Mr.. Small is the great great grandson
of Governor Telfair of Georgia. and his
connections are the best in that part Of
the south He has placed the case in the
hands Of James Lindsay Gordon of the
district attorneys office, this city, and
Mr.. Gordon expects to have soon all Of tho
available data Of the claim IN hand.
From timo to timo desultory efforts
have been made by the American heirs TO
get the wealth they believe is theirs, but
without success. The estate was left by
three brothers, who went from Scotland
before the revolution and settled on the
island of Mauritius and made immense
fortunes in sugar.
They were Alexander, David and Ed.
ward Telfair in the order of their ages.
Alexander and Edward were widowors
ana each left son named after himself at
school ie London. 1t is not apparent how
parents and children lost track of each
other. but it was probably on account Of
the unsettled conditions preceding and
during the war. David Ielfair died first
and left his wealth to his brothors, and
when Alexander and Edward passed away
there were no heirs to claim their great
fortune.
Thoir Property Confscated.
Alexander, Jr., who became a doctor,
and Edward, .Ir., a lawyer came to this
country and settled in Georgia. They de-
olined 20 take part in the struggle for in
dependence, and during the revolution re-.
turned to England. After the end Of the
struggle they went again to Georgia, only
to find their property oonfscated. Ed
ward, Jr., had son, also called Edward
who became governor Of Georgia. Alexan-
der, .Ir., had two sons, one of whom was
named Alexander, and who was the great
granduncle of young Mr.. Small. When
Governor Telfair died, he had no direct
heirs and left his fortune to two maiden
sisters, who devoted it to charity.
Mr.. Smalls grandfather received word
that a box containing valuable papers
had been sent him from India. He never
received 1t, however, and visit to Eng
land was without result, though he learned
that years before the heirs of the Telfair
estate had been advertised for In his in
vestigation be encountered all sorts Of oh.
staoles. and finally returned home.
A relative Of the Telfairs living in Eng
land at present wrote recently that the
estate was worth. exclusive of interest,
$50, 600, 600, and that there was a chance
to get it, The American heirs have raised
