CECIL THE FIRST.
Rhodes, "The Man who Eats n Coun-
try for His Breakfast"
Allen sangree. in Ainslee's.

Allen Sangree. in Ainslee's.
In the land that bears his name, Cecil
Rhodes receives the homage of a monarch.
He stands for the country's rise or fall
He is the source of good and evil; praised
for completing a railroad and blamed for
a continued drought. Among white men
his is a subject of hero worship To black
men he represents the whole Anglo Saxon
race. They call him Separator of Bulls"
son of the Great White Queen" and the
man who eats a country for his break
fast" To them he is destiny itself
The first thing you notice about Mr.
Rhodes is an absence of affectation. He
receives alike the day laborer and the for
eign minister. In voice, manner and con-
duct he is ever the same. Nothing is
studied. Unlike most human beings, he
is not an actor. There is nothing mysteri-
Gus about him. He makes use of no sub
terfuge, but comes straight to the point
In conversation he meets your eye square
ly and impresses you with his sincerity.
I could not stand cut against him." walled
Barney Barnato when berated by a friend
for merging his diamond in teTests with the
De Beers syndicate. He just roped me
n-roped me in because I knew he spoke
the truth"
This righteousness disarms you one mo-
meut, but engages your admiration the
next. 1t is Instantly forced upon you that
here is a man who holds life too serious
and brief for a masquerade whose
thoughts are detached from petty things
and engrossed in vast ideas. Mr. Rhodes
gives evidence of this by breaking off con-
versation when It becomes small and con-
centrating his mind on some entirely for
egn subject.
You need not talk with Mr.. Rhodes fivs
minutes to learn that he is a thinker Dr.
Jameson and other lieutenants who have
achieved more or less distinction, seem
but as moths flying about an arc light
They think In pennyweights; Rhodes In
tons. He never bothers with details; they
take care of themselves. Half the time
he does not even have pocket money.

Hon. w. G. Ewing of Chicago at the
Guards Hall Tuesday Night

Judge w. G. Ewing of Chicago will lee
ture at the Guards Hall Tuesday night
on christian Science, the Religion of Je-
sus Christ" The lecture is free
While this is the first visit of
Judge Ewing to this city, he IS
well known in other parts of
the country He has recently retired
from the bench of the Superior Court Of
Chicago has been appointed to member
ship on the Board of Lectureship and has
accepted the appointment. He will fill ap-
pointments in the territory or district in
which his residence is located, namely
the district here tofore assigned to Mr.
Edward A. Kimball and Mrs. Annie M
Knott. With Mr.. Kimban and Mrs. Knott
he will cooperate in the lecture work
He declined a denomination and Ge-elec-
ton TO the bench, in view of the posi-
bility that he would determine to devote
his whole time to Christian Science work
The Ppst-Standard of Syracuse n. Y,
says: During the career of Judge Ewing
as a jurist he'was known as just and
upright judge, and has always been high
ly respected by the public. After years
of critical study, he became convinced that
Christian Science is true, and he has sur
rendered his practice to enlist in this
cause"

Nr. PaschaI n. Strong and Miss Kath-
airline Med. Hartridge Married.


Mr. Paschal Nelson Strong and Miss
Katharine Mcdonald Hartridge were mar
ried at st. Johns Church at '3:45 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The ceremony was
performed by Rev Charles H. Strong, in
the presence of the near relatives and a
few intimate friends of the young couple.
There were no attendants. The bride wore
a tailor made gown OF blue cloth and a
blue walking hat.
Directly after the ceremony the bride
and groom drove to their home at Beau
lieu.
Mr.. Strong, who is the eldest son of
Rev. and Mrs, Charles Hall Strong, is a
graduate of Yale College and during the
last few years has made his home at
Beaulieu, where he has terraDin farm.
Miss Hartridge is a daughter of Mr. AL
fred l.. Hartridge. Since graduating from
Vassar College she has held important
positions in the schools of Savannah and
is a young woman of brilliant intellect.

one day, he found himself without the
necessary "ticky" (threepence) and accept
ed a loan.
Rhodes" exclaimed the American con-
ductor in writing sarcasm, Dusty Roads,
l guess" Indeed the Colossus looked
rather dusty, having been on a tramp
along the docks. The detail of dress,
however is one to which he is especially
Indifferent. His favorite garb is white
flannel shirt with a polkadOt tie, soft
felt nat and modest gray or black clothes,
He wears no diamonds. In this costume
| saw him call upon Sir Alfred Miner.
at the executive mansion. The turnkey
a the door nevertheless, cracked his
spine in making an obeisance.
But Mr. Rhodes clothes attract your
attention last, SO domineering, almost OPP
pressive, is his presence. Not that he is
unlike other men-an immune to human
passions, frailties and luXuries For from
it, I noticed that he greatly enjoys a
good cigar drinks Scotch whisky and
champagne.
Cecil Rhodes is a keen observer, a phil
osopher, shrewd of wit not given to long
speeches, brave and lavish with money
when he thinks it profitable to be so.
His countenance is not an encouraging
study for the sentimental. In the knowl-
edge of South Africans he has never
shown attention to any woman. Dsap-
ponted-in-love stories about him go the
rounds at intervals but are never ver-
fed There seems to be little room in his
makeup for that sort of thing. He treats
the gentler sex with indifference and even
rudeness. For his two sisters alone does
ne exhibit fondness. and they. in trun,
have the regulations OF being "merf-hat-
ers."
Nothing aggravates Mr.. Rhodes more
than for one of the Chartered Company's
employees to get married. l came down
from Beira on a German steamer with a
newly welded couple who We're returning
to England most detected The bride
groom had been a trusted lieutenant in
Rhodesia, and went home on leave of
absence at his generals sugg stion When
he returned with a rosy-cheeked bride.
however Rhodes received him coldly. and
remarked shortly that the climate In
South Africa was ruinous to a woman's
beauty.
While this might be construed as a 'lit-
tleness," it is a popularity of the man
that falls in line with his life's aim and
work. He holds that the unmarried man
will take greater risks and accomplish
more for him on the fringe of civilization.
He looks at 1t in purely business way,
and is willing to pay the highest prices
for the most efficient work.
Rhodes face and form command your
