CECIL RHODES SISTER.
Peculiarities of One of the Most In
teresting Women in Africa.

4 In going down to Cape Town recent
/ ly on the steamship Scot a knot of
persons gathered about a woman who
occupied a steamer chair on the hurri-
cane deck. She was Cecil Rhodes
sister. and the name of Rhodes has a
conquering power in the dark con-
tlnent. Moreover, next to Olive
Schreiner. champion of the beers, the
most interesting woman in south
Africa today is Miss Alice Rhodes.
Whenever the peculiarities, of-the
ex-premier4 are discussed by those
who know the Rhodes family the con-
versat!on is sure to turn sooner or
later to the eccentric sister, who Is
far tanned for evineing the same dis
like Tor men that the empire builder
shows toward women. Her appear
ance, too, is so decidedly masculine as
to attract all eyes. Her face is as
smoothly florid as that Of the typical
English squire. with voice to match.
She usually sits with feet wide apart,
and in general lacks those qualities
which go to make up feminine attract
iveness.
During two days she directed the
athletic contests on the Scot in a
way that proved her executive ability.
Sitting at the point OF vantage on the
promenade deck, with the captain,
several officers and a woman COM
panion who is always at her side, Miss
Rhodes regulated the handicaps for
the running matches. umpired the
chicken fights, and was particularly
active in the tug of war. Twelve
husky Cornishmen had succeeded in
pulling syeythingJ on the ship except
the erew's eSSpert team, They had
never been beaten.
Fifteen hundred passengers crowded
to the starboard side to witness !, this
heculean struggle, for Miss Rhodes
was backing the Cornishmen and Of
fered an additional prize of So to the
winners. For one whole hour the
tug lasted flnally the sailors sea
training began to tell. tsnd ugfadaally,
inch by inch, they were hauling the
Cornwall miners near the fatal line.
when Miss Rhodes sprang TO her feet
and called out;
MY faith. Cornishmen, take on you
shoes. That's why the sailors are
beating you" The committee on rules
decided that this was no lnfraction,
as the sailors were also barefooted.

MUzzLING LONDON DOGS.
CANNES There in the Same Uncer
tainty That Prevails Here.

London dog law stands in need of
a little calculation. Between the reg
ulations of the board Of agriculture
and the bylaws of the London county
council no dog is safe; he literally
dunno where e are" First he must
wear his muzzle, then he mayn't;
then he may go out without muzzle,
but with a collar duly inscribed, etc.;
and now he mustn't go out at all with
out muzzle, but with a collar duly
inscribed, etc.; and now he mustn't go
out at all without muzzle unless he
is under control.
1t Is very hard on the orderly and
respectable dog, though it is just as
we'll that the ours should be kept in
state Of uncertainty, for the I'M
muzzling order has turned far. too
many Of them loose. However, the
limitations of dog license will soon be
better defined. Mr.. Bros has laid
it down that the regulations must be
statutorily advertised in the London
Gazette, where the dog-owning popu-
lation is much more likely to see them
than in the daily papers or at the
| police station. Then Curtis Bennett
has reminded us that to be under
control" dog must be either muzzled
or led. When the limitations come
to be explained, then. 1t looks as
though the outlook will be bad for the
dog.-Pall Mall Gazette.

THE DUMB MANS JOKE.

Jones was sauntering about at the
National gallery, and CHANGED to meet
a friend, deaf mute, who was con-
yersing with a companion, in sign
language. Greeting Jones cordially,
the deaf mute drew out notebook
and pencil, and after a brief pencil
and-paper conversation, introduced his
companion by the same means, and
shortly after withdrew.
Jones and the stranger discussed
the pictures pleasantly for 20 minutes
or more, meanwhile covering the
backs of sundry envelopes and scraps
of paper with their pencilings, when
a fourth character in this little drama
came upon the. scene-a friend OF
Jones new-made acquaintance.
Hello, George!" said the dumb man
to the newcomer, Familiarity. How do
you like the pictures this year?"
BY Jove!" exclaimed Jones, in sur
prise: ''can you TALK"
Well, | should think So" said. the
gentleman, equally surprised, as he
hastily put away pencil and paper.
Aren't you deaf and dumb?"

into his pocket an envelope nearly

MIKES MISTAKE.

Barney Murphy went to sea, and in
a few years became captain.
When returning after one OF his
long voyages he brought with him a
wonderful monkey, which he called
Barney"
Having anchored of Innishowen, an
old comrade went on board to see
him; but the captain was below, and
when Mike asked for Barney the first
officer pointed over to the monkey.
Mike ran aft, and, holding out hlz
hand to the baboon, shouted:
Very glad to see ye, Barney; but
faith, now, the salt water has changed
you terribly. Moments.

The marriage of Miss Anna Hop
kins Hickok, daughter of Mrs. Gerard
inc Hickok and William Stuart r.
Ogilby, Jr., which took place at st.
Peters Church, Tuesday afternoon,
June 10, appeared more than usually
impressive and beautiful, perhaps
because of conspicuous absence
of any appearance of show or osten-
tation.
By particular desire Of Miss
Hickok everything connected with the
wedding was of the most simple char
acter.
Her dress was of old point lace
which has long been in the family and
has been worn by three brides-and
crepe de chene The veil was held in
place by spray of orange blossoms.
The bouquet was of field daisies and the
same flowers with small palms made
the light decorations at the entrance
to the church and upon the altar.
The bride was given away by her
brother, Chandlee Hickok. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. DR..
Charles H. Hubbard, rector of st.
Peters church. There were no brides
maids The maid of honor was Miss
Beatrice Ogilby, sister of the groom.
She wore white mouseline de sole
over pink silk, white straw hat
with pink roses, and carried bou-
quet of pink and white sweet peas.
The best man was William Davidson.
The ushers were James and John
Ogilby, o. Won Benneth and DR.. Will
liam Ford.
There was no reception. The very
immediate relatives of the families
went to the house from the church.
