There has undoubtedly been much misconceptions

STOLE THE WHOLE HOI Sc.
From The Charleston News


Almost since the beginning OF the world the crime
OF theft has been committed more or less, ana as
the world grows older this crime mas increased
Thieves have been known TO carry OF every con-
cevable kind of goods and chattels. from a set or
false teeth TO $50 900 worth OF diamonds But IL Is
doubtful If there is another case on record similar
TO that which reported In this city recently
where the stolen property was house-hot Iog
house fowl house. but two story wooden
dwelling house OF fair dimensions. The house IN
question was situated on Lucas-st, Just above the
City Hospital. on the east SIDE Oh lhe street; IN
November 1894. this piece OF property stood intact
and in fairly good condition: to-day little remains
except the mortgage or there be one). AT the be-
ginning OF last winter the house was vacant and
presented n too inviting spectacle to the numerous
hrewood hunters in the vicinity; 80 night after
night the house attacked. First the shutters
were torn on then all the inside work. and finally
the weather boarding and shingles Last week the
supports and sls standing. which marked the
site OF the former comfortable dwelling. but a few
nights ago the attacking party laid final siege to
the place and finished the work OF destruction. All
this happened within the city limits.
An old darby living near was INTERCEPTED about
the mysterious disappearance OF the house a day or
two since. He said: When de weather turn cold
de people tex EN- for frewood. Der's nebber no po-
lice in dis street" But there is a silver lining In
every cloud: the owners WILL have at least no taxes
pay the house. for they can truthfully report
1t as burned. no alarm

DOUBLE DEALING ALLEGED.

There are many who have followed the rise Of
Mr. Rhodes from the time when he first became
a financial and political power in the land, who
do not hesitate to declare that he would well
come a repeal Of the charter, In fact, that he
has been counting 1t, since 1t would relieve him
of most of the responsibility and also of much
Of the odum that he would otherwise have In
Cured in consequence of the non-fulflment Of
the PROMISES which he has used to lure capital
from the British investor. They even go so far

to give an appearance Of responsibility 10
concern that many whose opinions carry weight
declare to be financially rotten and on the eve
of insolvency.
But before the question Of the responsibility
of Cecil Rhodes and of his noble fellow direct ors
there comes that OF the British Government
which can only free itself Of all blame In the
eyes Of the Boer Republic and Of foreign nations
in general by ravOking the charter Of the
Rhodes company and assuming possession Of
the territories which II controlled While this
annulnent Of the charter does not directly
irnplv the extinction of the company, some
people appear to believe 1t is almost certain TO
entail IT, since the royal charter itself con-
stitutes one of the chief assets Of the concern
