The Cecil Rhodes Of Hawaii is Benja-

tween the South African autocrut and

however. While Mr.. Dillingham; Is per-
haps the foremost Of Hawaiian tinanciers
and power in the islands. he is gener-
ally liked and respected both by whites
and natives. Mr.. Rhodes can hardly
claim this distinction.
Like Rhodes. though. he began life in

lar. Mr.. Dillingham; is an American,
who ran away to sea when a boy. 1t
was during his second years experience
as a sailor before the mast that he was
wrecked on the island Of Hawaii.
Crawling up out of the water. his clothes
dripping with brine. he turned and shook
his fist at the ocean. Then and there he
quit forever the life Of a sailor.
In Honolulu be soon found work. His
FIRST wages were Sc week. 1t was
enough to live on and but little more.
But he was frugal and Industrious. Soon
he was making more money. and he be-
gan to save his earnings. In time he had
saved enough to 60 into business for
himself He opened a hardware store.
He was successful.
All these years the leaven of ambition
was active in his brain, and he preached
the doctrine Of expansion and develop
ment to bis less enthusiastic neighbors.
Hawaii, he insisted, was one OF the rich
est gardens Of the universe. and it was
their duty to take advantage Of natures
bounty and develop its resources. His
logic compelled their attention, but they
were slow to follow his suggestion.
When in the latter eighties Dillingham;
proposed the construction of a railway
on the island Of Oahu which would con
meet and be fed by number of sugar
plantations which he intended to devel
op, sluggish capital baked at the idea
as foolhardy and impracticable. The
Mckinley bill had dealt heavy blow
to the sugar industry in Hawaii. and
with their principal market closed
against them the planters saw nothing
ahead but blue ruin.

pluck overcame one obstacle after anoth

figure In the Papal chair when. in i45s. Eneas
Sylvius Piccolomini became Pope under the
name Of Plus II. This remarkable man had
been long known to the world; there was not in
Europe single prince or statesman. not Bishop
or a scholar. who was not acquainted with him
either personally or by repute. lie was a de-
scendant OF the Pocolomini OF Siena, a family
which had once enjoyed celebrity, but had
fallen into decay at the end OF the fourteenth
century. Banished with other mobiles from
Siena by the popular party, the Piccolomini
dwelt In poverty at Corsignano, where lfneas
was born on Oct 10. 1905 Against his will he
studied law In Siena. and aftsrward became a
pupil Of Fllefo and Poggo In Florence En-
dowed with conspicuous talents but without
any decided bent. he forsook serious studies
