Three Typewriters
Taken From Eng

TWO FOUND IN A PAWNSHOp
The Thief Has Eluded the
Officers Since
July 4.

The English high school building, at
the corner Of Irving and Chatham
streets, was broken into on the night
of July 4 and three typewriting ma
chimes were solen. The matter was re-
ported to the police several days later,
but it was not until short time ago
that anything happened in the case.

for burglars to break into a house in

ton into his head to break into school
building it is not generally with the
intention of getting anything of real
value and accordingly not much at
tention was paid to purchasing a safe
for the typewriters.
A the school year had closed and no
one was in the habit Of going into the
building apart from the janitor they
were not missed for several days
When the janitor finally did miss them
he reported the matter to Principal H.
p. Lewis, and the principal in turn re-
ported it to Chief of Police James NJ
brennan.
For time all sight of the machines
was lost, and later Inspector w. j. e.
Stone was put on the case, and in a
few days ne recovered two of them in a
pawnshop, where they had been dis
posed of for small sum.

QUESTION OF LEGALITY.
Increase of Republican City Commit
tee PerpIexes Members.

Zee FerpIs<eS Members.
It looks as though the opinion of
Atty.-Gen. Hosea M. Knowlton would
be necessary before the matter of in
creasing the membership of the repub-
lican city committee can be carried
through.
Last year when the municipal eau
cuses were held it was decided to make
the call read for the election of five
members of the city committee instead
of three, as had been the custom. There
was protest, and the matter was re-
ferred to the attorney general, who
ruled that the matter should properly
come before the municipal convention,
although there was no law directly af-
fectirg the question.
The convention voted to increase the
membership from three to five mein-
bers, but since that time a law has
passed the legislature empowering the
city committee to fix the number from
each ward, and, while there may be no
objection to carrying through the sem
timent of the last convention, a cues
ton arises as to whether the action of
the convention or the act of the Iegis-
lature passed this year takes preced-
ence. An opinion will probably be asked
and submitted at the next meeting of
the committee.

The registrars of voters closed their
office, and ambitious candidates AID
their friends will have a chance to
snatch few minutes rest before the
grand ante-election hustle.
The total number Of qualified voters
this year is 1908, against 1885 last
year. The total registration was 1890,
as against 1874 last year. The largest
total gain is in ward 5, where corsid-
cradle effort has been put forth. There
are 225 additional voters in this ward.
There have been small gains in most of
the other wards, with the exception Of
Wards2 and s, where the number has
fallen off. There are less in ward 2
and II less in ward than last year.
Ward shows a gain of 1913, and ward 4
a gain of 116.
OF the total number registered in
ward 5, James F. Ryan claims more
than 200, which, according to the eSti-
mate of his friends, should place him in
a safe position. John G. Hagberg says
that he conceded Mr.. Ryan a majority
of the new voters, although the matter

why Boer hatred has always been con-
centrated upon him. But the diamond
spectators have favored him. He was
president Of the De Beers company,
capitalized for a million, at the time
when fierce diamond competition was
running every company in Kimberley.
After others had failed he effected a
combination between the different COM
panies by which ruinous competition
was ended. He was so successful in
this that at the end of 1889 the De
Beers Consolidated mines, limited, rep
resented every mine in Kimberley and
controlled all prices. In 1892 this COM
bination of mines under his direction
disposed of S20000,000 worth of dia-
monds at a handsome profit. His
wealth at that time was estimated at
$40 900, 900. He is now said to be worth
$50 900, 900.
But if Rhodes was fond of wealth, he
was more fond of political power. His
first step to secure that power was to
win from England a charter for the
British South Africa company. At the
same time he secured from Lobengula,
King Of Matabeleland and Mashona-
land, valuable mining concessions.
These two acts made him the leading
power in the Cape Colony. He an
nounced that he was now prepared to
extend northward the Cape railroads
into Zembezia land; to encourage emil
grafton and colonization; to promote
trade and commerce and to develop
mines. Then he went ahead and car
ried out all of his plans. He was elect
ed to the Cape house Of assembly. He
became treasurer of the Cape, and
when Chinese Gordon asked him to go
to Khartoum with him as his private
secretary, he declined Gordon was
angry and replied:
you are one of those men that never
approve of anything that you do not
organize yourself"
Rhodes reflected for a moment and
then answered:
I'm inclined to think you are right"
He succeeded Sir Gordon Spriggs as
premier of the Cape. He is believed
to have been the principal inspirer of
the Jameson raid into the Transvaal
and to have taken this course because
he believed Germany was about to form
an alliance with the Transvaal or as
sumo a prOtectorate over it. He was
Inominally disgraced for his conduct
but soon restored to his old power. He
lis building a telegraph line from Cape
Town to Cairo. He has surrounded the
| Orange Free State and Transvaal with
English railroads and English forts
He has practically shut France, Ger
many and Portugal out of the heart OF
Africa. And now he is preparing t.
fight for not only what he has won
but for the homes and land of the
Beers. They say Cecil Rhodes is the
highest type to be found in man of tbs
commercial spirit of England in These
last days of the 18th century
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-10-19

Cecil Rhodes is besleged in Kimberley
and the Beers are said to have offered
6 5000 for his capture, dead or alive. To
the Transvaal and Orange Free State
the personality and ambitions of Cecil
Rhodes are as a red rag to a bull That
he is nos daunted by the price placed
upon his head is evidenced in the cables,
which say that he is in excellent health
and preparing to raise a mounted corps
of colonlals Should England win ali in
the Transvaal that she expects 70, there
is no question that Rhodes will be one
of the foremost men engaged in the re-
organization of lines in South Africa
and the reaping of the rewards incioeT-
tai to such work. He is a bold, fearless
and some say INSCRIPTIONS adven1urer
"a rough pioneer in rude land
An Englishman once wrote of Rhodes:
He has the face of a Caesar, the
ambition of a Loyola, and the wealth
of a Croesus.
AS to his ambitions, pointing one day
to a man of Zambezia land, he said to
friend:
"All that British! That is my dream"
What is his wealth? The story is
still told in Kimberly of how with child
ish pleasure he filled a pail with aia..
monds and slowly emptied it while
photographer from the Cape caught the
scene with his camera.
Cecil Rhodes is the fourth son of Rev.
Francis William Rhodes, who was Vi
car OF Bishop Stortford Herts, in Eng
land. He is 46 years old, and has lived
in South Africa since he was 16. At
that time he farmed on the 2lanta-
ton of a brother in Natal. He was there
when the diamond fields of Kimberley
were uncovered and the tremendous
rush to that region began, With his
| brother, he went to the mines, and the
two laid out claims and commenced
work in a systematic English way.
When the foundation for q fortune was
laid, young Cecil returned to Engl9ad
and entered Oxford, but the climate
was too much for his lungs, and he re-
turned in a short time to Kimberley
| There he was quickly made a stock
holder in many diamond companies; in
others he was elevated TO the presi-
dency He was cool, long-headed, I'M
derstood the native character, and was
more than match for the Beers. While
| piling up his wealth, he continued his
| studies, took B. A. degree, and added
| to himself the polish of learning. He
! proved himself to be the best all-around
man in the mines, and as such en-
| joyed universal confidence.
1t is said that Rhodes in all his
South African career has never con-
cealed his opinion that the Beers were
an obstacle which England must event.
