From the London News: While some
of the newspapers have been busy Of
late in killing Mr.. Rhodes we find from
the Cape papers that Mr.. Rhodes him
self has selected his burial place. 1t
is in the Matoppo hills, in the neigh
borhood Of his farm, that Mr.. Rhodes
desires "in the fullness of time" to be
buried in the solid rock. A special cor
respondent, who calls the spot
Worlds View" thus describes the
scenery: At length we came to halt
and were led through the bushes up
enormous slopes of solid granite on to
the roof of rocky eminence. Here
the worlds view lay unfolded like a
panorama before our gladdened eyes.
There were many Travelled members
in our party but not one Of them
could say that he had ever seen any
thing like it. Here, surely we were
gazing down upon one of natures
battlefelds, the dlscorded scene Of
some tremendous conVulsion, in which
Titanic forces had lifted the biggest
lboulders the mind can conceive and
tossed them to and fro like pebbles.
AS far as the eye could travel stretched
an ocean of granite mountains, extend
ing range beyond range to the horizon.
Few people realize the immensely of
the Matoppos or the beauty of the HILL
sides and valleys, where euphorbia,
mahogany and mOpana trees and all
sorts of tropical bushes flourish in
glorious confusion and certainly no
one can have any conception Of the
awe-inspiring grandeur or the scenic
splendor of this wondrous natural
panorama.

CURED HIS WIFE OF "oADDINor
Connecticut Husband Locked Her In q
Room for Six Weeks.

Connecticut Husband Locked Her In q
Room for Six Weeks.
Husbands in New Haven, Conn.,,
have a very effective method of curing
wives of the habit of "gadding
around" One man named Bates, who
was afflicted with gadding wife, es-
sayed to cure her by locking her up in
room. He was driven to this act
because his helpmeet was rarely home
when she was wanted, and in conse-
quence he seldom had a well-cooked
meal or a tidy house to come home to-.
Instead of having a family row he
thought he would lock her up so that
he would know where to find her when
wanted. He fitted up an iron-barred
and padlocked door, and every day be-
fore leaving the house he locked his
wife in. This was done day after day.
Soon the enighbors began to miss
Mrs. Bates, and there was much spec
ulatiOn as to the cause. When the
neighbors went to the door to call
luclt was hO ACopOnoC " lnClA ldpo
and the house seemed deserted. This
seemed remarkable, for there was
time when Mrs. Bates was seen abroad
every day. Finally the mystery was
explained. The neighborhood was
startled one day at the sight of Mrs.
Bates leaning out of third-story win
dow of her house shouting for help.
Soon a group of neighbors gathered
and to them the woman related a start
ling story. She claimed that for six
weeks her husband had kept her lock-
ed up in the house, and under no cir
cumstances would so much as give
her the liberty Of stepping outside the
door in his absence. She had stood
the treatment as long as she could and
had decided to rebel. The excited
neighbors told the police the story, and
in a few minutes an officer was sent Il
investigate. He found the woman'I
story true. The door Of her room was
fastened with a huge iron bar pad.
locked to the door casing. The police
sent at once for the womans husband
and made him unlock the door AMI
remove the bar and paddock.

Dick, everything belongs to him now

His, this house! Why, what do
you mean"
Il will tell you" she said. "You
know; but no, of course you don't
know, but I will tell you. You see,
Auntie had this house and all the farm
and so on, and also an annuity of eight
hundred year, which was bought for
her by a very queer old aunt of hers.
Well, David told me yesterday that
Auntie had also what he called some
loose money, and with this she spec
ulated little, and did pretty we'll with
1t. l dare say she was thinking of me,
poor darling. Well, two years ago a
bank in which she had couple of
shares failed, and she had to pay up
great deal more money than she had.
so she sold the Hall to David, for they
both thought then that l should end
by marrying him, and they thought
nobody would ever know anything
about it. David says he gave her much
more than anybody else would have
done, and that she was never to be
disturbed while she lived. But it is
all David's now, and he says that there
will be only about thousand pounds
for me when everything is settled. But
l never knew word till yesterday"
"And the fellow came and told all
this! cried Dick, in disgust. why,
pom my word, 1t isn't decent. Can't
he even let the mistress be carried out
Of the house before he claims it?"
mo, Dick, it wasn't like that"
Dorothy protested meekly, anxious TO
do even David justice. But, you see,
he is executor, and nobody can do any.
thing without him. So he was
obliged to tell me that, and then l in.
sisted on hearing everything else"
"Oh, see," somewhat modified.
Then you didn't tell him anything
about me?"
1--WE never mentioned you, Dick" she
answered quickly.
He did not speak for a minute, but
sat holding one of her hands in his,
and Juggling at his mustache with the
other. Darling" he burst out at last,

BUTTERWORTH DEAD.
THE WELL KNOWN OHIO
MAN PASSES AWAY.
Other Notable Deaths-GeneraI Augor,
Classmate OF Grant Logan Carlisle
Dies suddenly -"Father of the House
of Commons" No More.

TOWNSVILLE, Ca, Jan. 17-Hon.
Benjamin Butterworth, United States
commissioner of patents, who has
been i'll at Pineywoods hotel here sew
eral weeks, died at 3:15 yesterday
afternoon. The end was peaceful,
and when it came his wife and chill
dren were at his bedside. S
Benjamin Butterworth was what i
known as a "birthright Quaker. {"
Those who knew him best during his
busy career are unanimous in saying
OF him, his daily life was as exem-
plary of the tenets of that good old
faith as that of any public official
could be. "
He was born in Warren county,
Ohio, October %, 1897; was member
of the state senate from Warren and
Butler counties in 1894; was elected
from the First Ohio district to the
Forty-sixth, Forty-seveath, Forty
ninth and Fiftieth congresses, and
was reelected to the Fiity-frst CON
gress as a Republican.
During the war, he attained the
rank of Major in an Ohio regiment.
He was commissioner of patents first
during the administration of Garfield
and Arthur, and his record made then
and subsequently had great weight
with President Mckinley in selecting
him for that position.
He was made secretary of the
Worlds Fair project early in the in
ception of that great enterprise at
Chicago during the early go, and
worked along in that capacity with
honor to himself and profit to the
company until its close. A wife and
four children survive the dead states.

matte Repeating Weapon,

some Features OF ehe HOrchardt Auto~
matte Repeating Weapon.
The Borchardt automatic repeating
pistol is small arm in which smoke
less powder is used, and with which
very remarkable target shooting has
been accomplished The New York
Times describes this weapon as fol-
lows: The Borchardt pistol is of pc
culiar shape, having a long overhang
behind what is usually called the butt,
and a magazine within the latter
which will contain eight cartrides. The
automatic action is entirely resilient,
and not at all dependent upon the ex-
pansion of gas. The rear end Of the
weapon is called the grip The breech-
lock is driven back into this by the
recoil caused by the discharge, while
at the same instant the lifting spring
within the magazine pushes out the
emptied cartridge shell. A powerful
double spring in the grip thrusts the
breechlock forward again, and the
latter carries into position in the
oreech of the barrel a fresh cartridge
ready to be fired. By the same move
ment the firing bolt is cooked. The
eight cartridges are all placed in the
magazine at once, being held together
in boxlike charger" which drops
from the magazine so soon as the last
cartridge which 1t contained has been
used. All the functions of the mechan-
ism are automatic, excepting, OF
course, the pulling of the trigger. The
weight of the Borchardt pistol is two
pounds and fifteen ounces, with the
magazine charged. The caliber is not
quite 81. The weight of the weapon
and its somewhat awkward shape are
the chief objections urged against it.
Z 1t is commended, however, that the
weight is so we'll balanced when the
pistol Is held In position for firing
that 1t assists the aim and steadies the
hand. By the use Of large attach
able stock 1t can be converted into a
small carbine at a moments notice.
There is a metallic sight at the ax-
IRENE end of the grip and another is
at the usual place near the muzzle.
The long distance between them facili-
tates accuracy of aim. In use as a
cavalry weapon the overhang, 1t Is
said, would be valuable shield to the
wrist Of the pistol arm, protecting 1t
from the saber strokes and consequent
disablement.

spring of his life. If ne had made any
improvement in his house, it had been
for Dorothy. If he had planted a
shrub or a young tree, it had been for
Dorothy. He had bought a smart lit
tie village cart, thinking that 1t was
just what Dorothy would like to drive
herself about the lanes in-but 1t had
all been for nothing; and in that bit
ter hour of realization he knew that
he would live out his life alone, and
that Dorothy Strobe would never come,
except in dreams, vain, hopeless
dreams, to be the mistress of Holroyd.

down at once"
Dorothy therefore, in something less
than an hours time, received the fol-
lowing note:
MY Dear Dorothy: I quite forgot
this morning to mention several mat
tiers of Importance just now. First, to
tell you that when everything is set
tied there will be at least a thousand
pounds for you, Your aunt has left
you everything. Therefore 1 have sent
into Colchester for Mawson to come
out and see you about the funeral,
which will be, of course, in every re-
spect as you wish to have it. May l
suggest to you that you shall carry
out Miss Dimsdale's often expressed
views on this subject-plain and good
and without ostentation? With regard
to your mourning, it will be best for
you to employ your regular dress peo-
pie. am obliged to mention this, as,
not being of age, you cannot legally
pay for necessary bills. After next
month you will be the absolute mis-
tress of whatever the property will
realize, Always your true friend,
DAVID"
This Dorothy received soon after
four in the afternoon, just after Bar
bara had lighted the lamps in the
drawing-room and drawn the crimson
curtains closely over the windows.
There is a letter, Miss Dorothy,
dear" she said, glad of anything that
would help to break the loneliness and
mOnotony of that awful day, land
while you read it I'll go and see if
your cup of tea isn't ready; you have
had nothing this day, and a cup Of
tea and bit of hot buttered toast'll
be better than nothing for YOU.
Thanks, Barbara" said Dorothy,
listlessly.
Poor child! she cried little over
the note, because the subject brought
back the remembrance of her sorrow
again, but her tears did not last long;
indeed, she had wept so violently dur
ing most of the day that her tears
seemed to be almost exhausted now.
And then she put it back on the lit
tie table at her elbow. Poor Davidw
she said, softly, ut is too bad for him.
l wish l could have liked him; Auntie
wished it too. Dear Auntie! But I
can't, can't, and Auntie liked Dick
best afterward. 1t made her so peace

Il know 1t. But then you must re-
member that she had always been &C.

her gardener and her maids. Indeed
Miss Dimsdale never had any money
to spare, and it was in the hope oil
making more of the loose money thai
she had, money that was apart from
her estate and her settled annuity, that
she unfortunately bought, among 9TH
'er things, two shares in bank which
was not safe, which, indeed, failed and
left her liable for nearly as much
money as the Hall and the lands were
worth"
Then was my aunt pensioner on
your bounty?" Dorothy cried, her face
all aflame at the idea.

death, and she had always her an

ious that you should not do so"

hide alike her anger and her tears.
David Stevenson rose also, his face
hard and set in response to the bitter
ness of the girls tones, his hands
trembling, and his heart as heavy as
lead. A sharp reply rose to his tongue,
but it went no further, for all at once
the sight of Dorothy's grief touched
and softened him.
Dorothy! Dorothy| he said, what

that, surely? By writing and asking
you to be my wife. l certainly never
meant to insult you, and yet you seem
to think l have done you some deadly
wrong to offer you what most men

can pay to any woman. The idea Of

your aunt is still lying in the house,
is too cruel, too unkind. l am not an
interloper, who cheated my friend out

looked upon me as you do now.

proachfully, that 1 have deserved this
FROM you"
Dorothy had hidden her face upon
the chimney-shelf. 81 am very mis-
cradle" she said in a choking voice.
I'm very sorry"
David Stevenson drew his own con-
illusions from the admission; then af-
ter a minute or two of silence, he said,
There is one thing 1 should like to
tell you before l go, Dorothy"
YES" very meekly.
ut is-don't think l am trying to
force myself on you when you are in
trouble, for it is because you are alone
and In trouble that l must tell you. It
is that | think now about you as l al

the world altogether, to marry, to do
anything, you know that, whatever
ways open for you, one lover always
ready TO call you mistress, one man al

feet. That was what 1 came to say
to-day"
There was a death-like silence
Dorothy struggled to speak, but could
not. Then she put out her hand in a
blind sort of way toward him, and
David bent down and kissed It.
Neither of them said a word more,
and after a moment or so he released
her hand, and went out of the room,
knowing as surely as If she said it in
plain words, that Dorothy Strobe had
given her heart away, and that she
would never send for him in this
world; that it was all over, and at an
end between them forever.
