CECIL RHODES.
Delivers an Address Before the
British South Africa Company.

LONDON, Hay 2.-An enormous
crowd of people gathered in the vicin-
ity of the Cannon-street Hall here to-
day in the hope of hearing Cecil
Rhodes address before the meeting of
the Chartered British South Africa
Company. Thousands were refused ad-
mission.
When Mr.. Rhodes arrived he was
greeted with tremendous cheering. The
Duke CT Abercorn, p esident Of the CON-
pany. occupied the chair, and was sup
ported, by Earl Grey and Lord Clifford,
Vice Presidents of the company, and
other Directors.
Mr.. Rhodes. addressing the meeting
of 2OOG persons, took a domestic view
of the pastoral and mineral future Of
Rhodesia Referring to his visit to
Berlin, Mr.. Rhodes said that the agree
ment for carrying the telegraph lines
through German territory was effected
through the kindness of Emperor Will
lam. who whatever might have been
his feeling respecting certain little liz
cidents which had resulted very ur-
satisfactorily to Mr.. Rhodes, was still
a broad-minded men. (Cheers). The
Emperor met his proposition with an
admirable breadth of mind, and offered
him every means for carrying ont his
plans.
The conduct of the European coun-
tries ordinarily Mr.. Rhodes said, would
be to levy blackmail wherever possible
The German Emperor, however, charg-
ed nothing for the concession except the
cost of maintenance of the lines.
Dealing with his failure to come 20
an agreement with the Government of
Great Britain respecting the proposed
guarantee for the projected Cape Town
Railway. he said that the Directors
proposed to raise f3.O00,000 by the issue
of bonds bearing 4 per cent interest
and with this money to build the re-
manning 100 miles northward The
millionaire Alfred Belt had offered tc
take f5OO,OG0, if Mr.. Rhodes took f200.-
coo. The Government had failed the
company in this matter but the COM
mercial instincts of the city had car
ried them through. (Cheers).
The loan scheme proposed by Mr.
Rhodes was approved by the meeting
on a show of hands.
He referred to the fact that the ten
der of the construction of the 100
miles of Rhodesian railroads had been
made from America, and added: 7
found by far the lowest tender was an
American firm. Carnegie's bid, for
tunately. was not in order, so we were
able to give it to our own people,
This statement was greeted with loud
cheers.

Favorite Easter Drink.

In 1899 it has been found necessary
to Stake the Easter thirst with a par
ticular drink invented for the occasion.
The one that bids fair to be the most
popular is the liqueur creme de rose.
which comes from Belgium. This is
to be the drink par excellence at tho
Easter luncheons. 1t can only be served
at luncheon where all the table dec
orations are pink, for it Is a rule OF
fashion that colors must harmonic.
The creme de rose is to be offered at
these 1uncheons in pale pink glasses
OF the general shape Of claret glasses,
but somewhat smaller. Several fresh
rose leaves must be floating on the top
OF each glass as they are brought in.
More strictly of an Easter idea is a
new drink of creme de menthe and
crystallized sugar-"spun glass;" as II
is better known. This is for a green
orchid luncheon. The green mint" IL
made frappe, and the spun glass" reNs
upon it's top, shaped In the semblance
of tiny lily. In this lily, to further
increase the resemblance, is the grated
rind of lemon, sprinkled with gran
ulated sugar. If carefully made this
peculiarly appropriate Easter beverage
is remarkably effective The "spun
glass" and the grated lemon rind at
once dissolve in the mouth as the IL
quid pours over it upon the glass be-
ing tipped.

said Ethel. when you are sick in bed

came when called, and after many
trials arranged an unsightly contriv-
ance, SO that the pulling Of the string
did ring a bell just over Ethers bed.
Her brother Tom ridiculed it, but
mamma said Sisters of Mercy must be

Every night Ethel hung her cloak
near her bedside, ready to rush out
at the sound of the bell. One night
Tom played a practical joke by ring
ing the bell, but papa's sharp repri-
mand prevented a repetition of his
mischief.
Suddenly one night the bell did ring,
long and loud. Ethel jumped out of
bed and in a few minutes stood at
Uncle Ebby's bedside. The moonlight

Suddenly Ethel turned and perceived

cabin.

for help. Black and white rushed to

The women whose winter toilets looked
SO d1ngy in the sunlight had punches

cafe until midnight the night before,
awoke late. He was in a wretched
humor. At dinner the previous even

OF Edward and had tried to excite his
sympathy. She had been making in
qu1r1es and had learned that the wife

not deny that he was their son-was
not at all a good-for-nothing, as they
had thought at first. A poor girl, with

pected to introduce their son into the

Wonderful Easter Hats.

An inquisitive person in New York
city has been examining the Easter
hats, and she says the women of that
city spend 100000 each Easter for
hats. AS for this years variety, she
says:
4 give you my word some of them
measured two by three feet. If size is
what you are looking for, you will find
it in the April eXtravaganza-and you
will pay for it. In fact. the hat seems
to be in direct ratio to it's traditional
bill. Humility has way of showing
itself in bushes that cost $14 a bunch.
Clever French roses they are, with
such a natural look that the Fifth
avenue bee pauses to sip of their
painted honey. The price of a single
hat, to be really swell. must be at least
s35. After that. anywhere into the
hundreds. Fifty dollars is by no means
an uncommon price for a New York
woman to pay for hat that takes her
fancy.

HISTORY OF THE EASTER LILY

Island or Bermuda the Home of tho
Beautiful Flower
The Easter lily as we now know it
was brought from Japan and China by
an American named Harris and intro
duced into Bermuda in 1872, and from
the beautiful British colony in the At
lant1c come most of the Easter lilies
in use in our eastern states. Califor-
MIA supplies the western states, and in
Chicago both varieties may be found
In Bermuda the Chinese lily received
the name "Lilium Harrisii," which it
retains to this day. Its common names
are the Trumpet lily" Bermuda
lily" and Easter lily
Because Of the fact that Bermuda
supplies the leading cities on both con-
tinents with the Easter lily bulbs there
is a popular impression that the lily
is native Of this island, but old
growers there have no difficulty in
proving this and in proving the his
tory as given above.
In order to become marketable a
bulb must measure at least five inches
in circumference, and, starting from
the scale" the technical name for
on = the folds or petals of matured
bulb, three years of training and care
is required before it attains this size
There are nearly 200 farms in Ber-
muda which are devoted exclusively to
the cultivation of the lily. At Sunny
lands. the largest of the big farms,
just outside of Hamilton, it is a COM
mon sight to see 100000 or more Of the
lilies in full bloom in a single field.
The field retains its beautiful effect of
snow-white purity for nearly a month
and longer. Then the stalk dries and
the nourishment goes back to the
bulb. During the latter part of June

nothing was burned except the corner

Next morning at breakfast Tom,

out the fire, said, well, Ethel, which

dle?"
But papa said, eff she had not been
Sister of Mercy, there is no telling
what fire we might have had, and
perhaps poor old Uncle Ebby would
have been burned in his bed. Ethel's
Easter resolution was a noble one, and
l hope it will last until next Easter"
Tom looked at his sister with ad-
miring eyes. and Ethel still wears her

questions that an old sea captain who
lived near her home gave her the name
of Little Conundrum.
Some days before Easter she went
with her governess into the city, and

the bonnet she wore closely fitting
cap, not at all like a widows cap.
