TOMB OF CECIL RHODES.

The Empire Builder Selected q Grave
on the Matoppo Mountains.
Although to many the death of Cecil
Rhodes came with something Of a
shock, he himself had long been aware
of the precarious condition OF his
health, and he had made all the ar
rangements for his death, having spe-
cially selected his tomb. says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. When
during recent meeting Of the Char
tered company shareholders In London
he said, MY only wish is to live as
long as most OF the heroes of old" he
was in far more serious condition
than was supposed. Although when he
first went to Natal he was given three
months to live, he recovered from the
Jung trouble. He had suffered many
years from heart disease. The nervous
strain of his life compelled him TO the
consumption Of enormous quantities of
alcohol. For weeks he would live on
his farm at Umtah with the sole COM
panionsh.p of DR.. Jameson. After a Sc
rious heart attack in 1897 he set about
the ordering of his tomb. Away in the
heart of Matabeleland, in an almost
unexplored region, is range of rugged
and hardly accessible mountains known
as the Matoppos. There the rebel ar
mics massed in 1896. and there he had
ridden in unarmed for his famous con
ference with the chiefs. The very hign-
gst of these granite peaks is known as
-
across the rolling yeldt and bush can
be seen the little township of Bula-
wayo. and on the summit Cecil Rhodes
indicated the spot where his remains
should lie.

GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT,

Railroad Bridge Shifted Fourteen
Feet In Less Than Two Minutes.
In a minute and forty-fiye seconds
the long six span, double track bridge
of the Pennsylvania railroad over the
Raritan river at New Brunswick was
moved a distance of fourteen and a
half feet upon the stone piers the other
day at noon. says the Philadelphia
Press. In ten and half minutes the
could be run over the bridge again. In
this remarkably short space Of time
was performed the greatest engineer
ing feat in bridge moving that has ever
been uI dertaken by any railroad in the
world. To George w. Mershon, master
mechanic of the railroad, is due the
credit for the feat.
The Raritan river bridge is 900 feet
long, one of the six spans being the
draw over the Delaware and Raritan
canal The draw and trestleWork are
of steel, and the entire bridge which
was moved weighs 4,114,oO0 pounds
The structure was divided into seven
sections, with an engine on each of the
piers All the sections slid easily along
on the iron rollers, and the work was
accomplished without hitch.
The preliminary work took nearly
two months. In order to elevate their
line through New Brunswick the COM
pany had to lay two more tracks owes
the river. This necessitated the NOV
ing of the old double track trestleworE

What Peevesses VIII Wear When
Edward VII. Is Crowned.
It now seems definitely settled that
the robes of peeresses are to be of red
velvet and miniyer or ermine, accord
ing to a correspondent of the June Wo-
mans Home Companion. Beneath a
low bodice viii extend q stomacher of
this white fur. a short cape Of the
same material will fall over the back,
fastened at either shoulder with gold
cord. On this cape alone must the
black spots of ermine be evident. These
spots are numbered according to the
wearer's rank. A red velvet train viii
be de rigueqr, its length also deter
mined by the wearer's rank.
Each highborn dame will wear a
white panel from the waist to the knee,
probably bordered with old lace, and
consisting of soft, rich white satin.
The coronet which she will wear will
be just half the size of the one worn
by her husband. 1t is anticipated that
heraldic embroideries will not be We
toed, though their place on the attire Is
not yet specified. Necklaces will be
permitted. PROFESSIONALLY the dim old
abbey will blaze with many magnifl-
cent jewels.

on Third avenue. east of Twenty

rumored that the Nelson Norris

competition of these big companies
here may be the means of creating Il
rivalry that will supply the good Peo-
pie of this town with another meat

packing companies are too wise to
engage in war. They usually prefer
to divide the business of a community
between them.
