Of all the various interests engaged in
the diamond fields in one great trust
CT combine Mr.. Rhodes stood forth
as the amalgamatOr, and the colossal
De Beers company is the monument of
his success.
As the essential thing to aim at in
an estimate of the man is his charac-
ter, rather than the precise detail of
his work, relegate to a footnote the
figures describing the capital, dividend,
and operations of the De Beers COM
pany. 1t is the largest diamond-pro-
ducing company in the world. Since
its amalgamaton in 1885, it has sup
piled the world with diamonds, which
sold wholesale brought in no less a
sum than 5e4O.OO0,0 900.
This. however, is by no means the
chief distinction Of the De Beers con-
Germ. 1t is chiefly notable because in
its charter, or articles of association.
Mr.. Rhodes was able to secure the in
sertion of a prOvisO authorizing the
directors to appropriate from time to
time such funds as they deemed it ad-
visable to set apart out of profits for
political or imperial purposes.
1t was introduced by Mr.. Rhodes,
ard assented 20 by his fellow direct
ors and shareholders solely out Of def
erence to him. 1t was one of Rhodes
fads. they said; let him have his way.
So ne had it-as is his wont. They
gave in to the commanding genius of
their colleague. dominated by his will
rather than convinced by his argu
ments. For Mr.. Rhodes IS far in adj
vance of his class in realizing the re-
sponsibility OF the millionaire for the
stewardship of his millions.
1t is the curious fortune of Mr.
Rhodes to be the special mark for the
attacks of the Socialists of the baser
order, and OF those Radicals who are
delighted to join in the hue and cry
against any one whom the Socialists
dislike. But if the Socialists did but
know the man as he is. they would
eject him honorary president of their
association. He alone, so far as
know, among the millionaire class not
only accepts the doctrines of the state

in practice. He is not a man of
phrases He is man OF deeds. He is
reputed to be a rich man. 1t is true
that he has the control of millions
But | seldom knew a rich man who
had less ready cash. If any one were
to give Mr.. Rhodes a million sterling
today he would not have penny of it
tomorrow. AS soon as he gets money,
he spends it or invests it in the service
OF the imperial idea.
The Socialist, no doubt. would de-
muir as to the wisdom of Mr.. Rhodes
selection OF the object on which the
money should be spent. But that is Il
detail. The essential unity of idea
or the part of Mr.. Rhodes and 5ss
Socialist is that both absolutely Go-ee
that the money should not be spent
upon self.and should be employed sole
lv for the benefit of the community.
Mr. Rhodes sees the community on its
imperial side. The Socialist naturally
confines his attention to the social side.
But both are alike in believing that it
is in the service of the community,
and not i'll the building UP of great for
tunes for family, that wealth should
be employed.

is worthy of her love by sitting up

Philadelphia street railway mag

nounced his benevolent intention OF
building a homo for cripples in Phila-

Besides furnishing the inmates with
such comforts as are usually found in
well-regulated homes, Mr.. WidenerS
purpose is to supply them also with
medical treatment in the hope of re-
storing them to permanent health and
strength. No enterprise of more genu-
inc philanthropy has ever been launch
eel in Philadelphia, and Mr.. Wideners
liberality has been the principal theme
of discussion in press and pulpit for
several days past. But this is not Mi
Wideners first handsome gift to Phil

to the city his private residence. to-
gether with his extensive collection of
art treasures. Though by no means
indiscriminate in his benefactions. he

OF enterprises which have appealed to
his good judgment. Most of his for
