To Clean Furs,

Furs will look much improved if
they are cleaned with bran. The bran
should be placed in an earthen recep-
tacle and heated in the oven. When
hot it should be rubbed well into the
fur. Flannel is the. best thing TO use
for rubbing the bran intoth fur. After
the husk has remained in the garment
oughly 10 remove all particles and brush
until the article is perfectly clean. Fur
collars that have become soiled from
rubbing against the hair may be made
to look like new by using hot bran on
them. Two applications Of the bran,
and probably three. will be necessary
if the fur is badly soiled.

war with England into which those two
little states have plunged may be the
final act in this dream Of what was 1T
years ago an unknown man.
Ii would be almost impossible to show
Mr.. Rhodes connection with African
history in every detail during those 10
years. Even at the time of his remark
able statement in the Kimberley shop
he had made small start in the Won
derful career which has been his since
that time. In those days election to
the Cape parliament did not mean much
in political way, but Rhodes had Sc
cured that and made ii stepping stone
to things greater.
In the carrying out of his dream
Rhodes was fortunate as to time and
events. 1t was early in the sos that
England first evinced an earnest desire
to expand in South Africa. For almost
a century previous to that time the
nation had pursued a vacillating policy
with a vast territory that might all
have been hers for the asking, or even
for the taking when asked. But diff
ferent ministries had different views
in regard TO the policy of acquiring
an extensive territory in the dark con
tineut. and while an occasional min
istry would branch out and extend Eng
lish rule to new territory in Africa,
political revolutions at home would
bring new ministries. and they in turn
would abandon all that their predeces-
sors had gained,
The year in which Cecil Rhodes
dreamed his dream of empire in the
shop at Kimberley was the year in
which the scramble between the powers
for African territory began. Germany
began. crowding England closely. and
the nation that had been paramount IN
South Africa for so long a time realized
at last that if she wished TO preserve
her standing as the ruling power she
must act hastily. So it was that in 1855
England constituted that part of Be

the court of arbitration which had de-
cided the claims of the Transvaal Por-
tugal and England to Delagoa bay, yet
by master stroke in diplomacy, be-
fore the finding of the court had been
made known, she secured from Portu-
gal promise not to dispose of the ter
ritory in dispute, should it be awarded
to her, to any other power without the

every foot of land which they secured
through English inactivity. When the
northern boundaries of Bechuanaland
were reached there still stretched far

in gold and diamonds. Both Germany
and Portugal had looked at this great
territory with covetous eyes, but saw
age monarch, backed by horde of ia
natical blacks, had proven too much for
their courage.
Rhodes was by 1888 at point very
near the height of his power, when
nothing seemed too great for him to I'M
dertake. He was not frightened by
Lobengua, the native chieftain, but
sent commissioners to him to form a
treaty, which they secured, and which
gave TO Rhodes and his followers the
right to mine the country for minerals.
1t but formed the opening wedge to
the complete occupancy of the coun-
try by an English chartered company,
with Rhodes at the head, and which.
under his able management, has made
rapid strides in development.
British Central Africa was secured by
the treaty between England, France,
Germany and Portugal in 1890. This
treaty partitioned the territory in dis
pute between the various powers, and
by it England secured large tract of
territory which they had not previous
" occupied, out of which British Cen

reading those few lines one has bet

man, capitalist and empire builder. The
incident is as follows:
sixteen years ago Cecil j. Rhodes,
then a man of small means and no po-
litical record, stood in small Kim
berley shop and looked for long time
at a map of Africa which hung on the
wall An acquaintance who had
watched him for several minutes
stepped up to Rhodes and asked wheth-
er he was attempting to find the loca-
ton of Kimberley. Mr. Rhodes made
noreply for several seconds, then placed
his hand over the map and covered a
large part of south and central Africa.
"'All that British, he said. That is
my dream ;"
- will give you ten years 10 realize
it, replied the friend.
"Give me ten more said Rhodes,
sand then we will have new map.
That is the incident. As Rhodes ex-
pressed it, "a dream" but a dream that
for the past 10 years has been steadily

Africa. until to-day the dream is all but
realized. until there are but two small

troduce many witnesses. 1t is said that
much of the evidence is contradictory.
The case will doubtless go to the jury
today. What the verdict is likely to be
no one can yet conjecture. 1t, however.
looks bad for Hoggard, as eye witnesses
to the overt act, together with the girl,
who tells a straightforward story, have
testified. The defence, think, hope to

so much so that the individual deposits

of great power-more than 80 profess

town are the happy results of this good
mans labors. The services were held
in the Presbyterian church, and noticing
a committee from Raleigh visiting it to

FUTURE OF THE COTTON MAR.
ISETr.
Savannah ,News.)

There is a feeling here chat cotton
ought to be higher. and the probabilities
are that it will be. Six months ago
the iron market was sluggish. The aver
age price of pig iron was $40 per ton.
Now it is $21, and the price is still NOV
ing upward. There has been no falling
off in the production. I'm fact, more
pig iron was produced in this country
last year than in amy previous year.
mt suddenly the demand for it begar
10 increase, and then the price of it
went up with leaps and bounds The de-
mand for cotton goods is teadily increas-
ing. 1t cannot be very long, therefore,
before the increased consumption of cot.
ton goods will cause a rise in the price
of cotton. 1t is not safe ITO make pre-
dietions as to what the nTice of cotton
will be a month, or two or three months
hence. hut it would not be surprising
If those who hold ON to their cotton
should get more for it three months
hence than they can get now.
