Federal Parliament Five Years In
Washington and Five Years In Lon.
den to Govern the World.
London, April Am article on Ce-
ell Rhodes, by William T. Stead. will
appear in the forthcoming number Of
the American Review of Reviews. The
article consists of a frank. powerful
explanation of Cecil Rhodes views on
America and Great Britain, and for the
first time sets forth his own inmost
aims. It was written by himself to
W. T. Stead in 1890. For originality
and breadth of thought it eclipses
even his now famous will, yet it is
merely a collection Of disjointed ideas,
hurriedly put together by the Colossus
as a summary of long conversation
held between himself and Mr.. Stead.
Mr.. Rhodes began by declaring that
the key" to his idea for the develop
ment of the English-speaking race was
the foundation of society copied. as
to organization, from the Jesuits, &"
combined with "a differential rate and
a copy of the United States constitu-
ton for home rule or federation"
Mr.. Rhodes continued: What an
awful thought is that if, even now,
we could arrange with the present
members of the United States assem-
bly, and our house of commons, the
peace of the world would be secured
for all eternity. We could hold a fed
eral parliament, five years in Wash
ington and five years in London"
Mr.. Rhodes added: THE only thing
thing feasible to carry out this idea
is a secret society gradually absorb
ing the wealth of the world, to be de-
voted to such an object"
This was Mr. Rhodes dream of
transatlantic greatness. Fancy" he
says, "the charm to young America
just coming on, and dissatisfied, for
they have filled up their own coun-
try and do not know what to tackle
next, to share in a scheme to take
the government of the whole world.
Their present president (Mr. Harri-
SOM is dimly seeing it; but his hori-
zOn is limited to the new world. north
and south, and so he would intrigue in
Canada. Argentina and Brazil, to the
exclusion of England. Such a brain
wants but little to see the true solu.
ton. He is still cropping in the dark,
but very near the discovery, for the
American has been taught the lesson
of home rule and of the success of
leaving the management of the local
pump to the parish beadle.

Camden, N. J, April 9.--Samuel Van
stavern, who on November 20 last shot
and killed his wife Catherine on the
streets of Camden, was hanged yes
terday morning in the Camden county
Jail yard, thus paying with his life
the penalty of his crime. The drop
fell at 1902, and death followed a few
minutes later. The condemned MUIR
derer met death unfiinchingly. He
walked to the gallows with a firm step
and resolute heart His remarkable
nerve was with him to the last, and
as he appeared on top of the scaffold,
in full view of the witnesses, his calm
demeanor and Indifferent appearance
surprised the spectators.

Test Vote In House Indicates Victory
For Reciprocity BiIl.

For Reciprocity Bill.
Washington, April 9.-The first day
Of the debate on the Cuban 'reciprocitE
bill, which opened in the house yes.
terday, was disappointing from a spec
tacular standpoint. There were no
sensational clashes after the debate
was actually begun, and none of the
bitterness which was expected to
crop out on the floor came to the sur
face. The vote on the motion to 20
into committee of the whole to con.
slider the bill, however, DEVELOPED the
lines of cleavage and showed that the
Democrats are quite as much divided
on the question as is the majority. In
the division, which is regarded as
practically a test vote on the bill. 113
Republicans and 81 Democrats voted
for the motion and Il Democrats and
80 Republicans against It.
The vote forced the hands of the
Democrats as individuals before the
caucus. Mr.. Payne, the Republican
leader. opened the debate for the bill
in a strong speech, which commanded
close attention from both sides of
the house. There were only two other
speeches. Mr.. Newlands. a Democrat
from Nevada, took the position that
the concession should not be made to
Cuba unless she were invited at the
same time to become a part of the
United States. Mr.. Mcclellan, a New
York Democrat, favored a so per cent.
reduction for the benefit of Cuba. He
contended that reciprocity was in line
with the time hOnored doctrine. and
that while Republicans might fear it.
Democrats should not.

The busiest place in the universe is
heaven. 1t is the center from which
all good influences start; it is the goal
at which all good results arrive. The
Bible represents it as active with
wheels and wings and Orchestras and
professions mounted or charioted. But
my text describes a space when the
wheels ceased to roll and the trumpets

minutes everything celestial stood still.
There was silence in heaven about the

From all we can learn it is the only
time heaven ever stopped 1t does not
stop as other cities for the night. for
there is no night there. 1t does not

stop for bankruptcies. for its inhab

impossible streets. for there are no
fallen SHOWS or sweeping freshets
What, then, stopped it for thirty min

De Wolf Hopper, In Mr.. Pick
wick, at Colonial Tonight.

A packed house, both at the af-
ternoon and evening performances,
greeted the presentation of "A Gam
bler's Daughter" at the Grand Thurs
day.
The story deals with a Chicago
board of trade man, who privately
conducts fashionable gambling re-
sort. His daughter, rich in her own
right, is in love with one of her
fathers clerks, but for her wealth
is desired by her fathers villainous
partner in his nefarious resort. Many
thrilling situations arise in conse-
quence of this game of cross purposes.
The leading role is admirably taken
by Miss Clara Thropp, an actress of
talent as well as. beauty and her
rendition of the difficult portrayed
was good In every respect. Her beau
tiful gowns were quite a feature with
the feminine portion of the audience.
The supporting company is strong and
well balanced, making the entire pro.
duction one of great merit.
DeWolf Hopper and his company in
"Mr Pickwick" appears at the Col

ATHLETIC CLUBS ARE PREPAR
ING,

Considerable fear was expressed in
Akron, somewhat earlier in the season,
that the Athletic clubs were on n de-
cline. The fear was grounded on the
fact that there had beea division,
internally, among the clubs, about
teams for various sports; membership
among many of the clubs dropped
down during the summer; dues failed
to come In. though creditors were
prompt, and assets and liabilities had
n great race, with the chances much in
favor Of Liability fer a part of the
time.
The attitude of the Governor and city
officials was believed to be antagonistic
to the clubs, by reason of the fact that
they could not get permits, for time,
for shows In which boxing was to be
n feature.
The situation has changed almost en-
tirely within the past few weeks, how
ever. With the change of the season
delinquent members have been focking
I'm, dues received are piling up in a
satisfactory manner, and hest of all, the
clubs are able to get permits for enter.

magnets, the boxing bout, can he made

The clubs are prospering In their old
time way. Dances for the winter have
already begun, entertainments have al
ready been given, and more are undcl
preparation, and as success begins tt
come the members are focking bacl
again.
For all of which the club members
will probably feel an especial thrill OF
thapkfulness next Thursday.
