DEATH OF CECIL RHODES.
The South African Diamond Masnate
Passes Away Mt Cape Town
After Long nlness.

Cape Town, March 27.-Cecil
Rhodes died yesterday afternoon at
5:57 o'clock. He was conscious until
$3.50 p. M, when he muttered few
words and sank quickly. The i'm
mediate cause of his death was two
successive attacks of heart failure.
Cecil Rhodes was born in 1853 the son of
Rev. Francis w. Rhodes, vicar Of Bishops
Stortford, England. He went to South
Africa 80 years ago in search of health,
English doctors having given him up He
secured diamond claim, which he dug
himself, and with his savings bought
I others. Gradually he became. the wealthiest
and most powerful man in South Africa
and engineered movements for land ac-
QUESTIONS, by Great Britain and their COM
merc;al development which gave him the
title Empire Builder and made him IA
nous in world politics. His dream was
British control of a line from Cairo to the
Cape.
Mr.. Rhodes had many individual tastes.
He knew Gibbons Decline and Fall of the
Roman Empire almost by heart. He ad-
mired Froude and Carlyle as authors; col
lected old furniture, china and old Dutch
curlos and paintings. He was devoted to
gardening and did much for agriculture
and viticulture! in South Africa. He kept
a menagerie on Table mountain. The en-
plre builder was a woman-hater and was
IN the habit of saying that his sister who
kept his house for him, was the only woman
he loved
London, March 29.-The Daily Mail
is authority for the statement that the
colossal fortune of the late Cecil
Rhodes was by him bequeathed to the
British empire for vast imperial
scheme of education The will is in
London and will be opened in few
days. The extent of the wealth left. by
the dead empire builder is roughly esti-
mated at $60O0O,00O, although some
place the amount at higher figure.

NEARING THE END.
Only One Insurgent General Now in
the Field in the Philippines
p An Important Surrender.

Manila March 27.-Norie1, the only
insurgent general with the exception
of Malvar, still in the field, has been
captured by Lieut.. Frank E. Bamford,
of the Twenty eighth infantry. A ma
jor, a captain, lieutenant and five
men, who were acting as bodyguard
to Noriel, were captured with him
They have all been held as prisoners of
war. There is some reason to believe
that one member of this bodyguard
is Gen. Malvar in disguise.
Manila, March 2S.-Gen. Smith, who
is in command of the American forces
on the island Of Samar, had a three
hour interview with the insurgent
general Guevarra and several officers
OF his command. 1t was arranged
that the latter, with the entire force
under his command and all their rifles,
would surrender April Is. The serv-

constabulary.

the weather is bad, they walk about

Neither one seems to know the
meaning Of the word fear. It is not
ar uncommon sight to see one Of
the boys on his, stills at the head of
a stairway leaning forward just far
enough to alarm the attaches about
the house. Occasionally a loud

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How the Children Showed Sympathy
For a Forlorn Woman.

Gus because her garments were neat
and clean, though threadbare, and
curious because a smile crossed her
wrinkled face as children passed her.
It might have been the smile that.
attracted group of three little
ones, the oldest about nine. They
stood in a row in front of the old
woman, saying never a word, but.
watching her face The smile bright..
ened, fingered, then suddenly faded
away, and a corner Of her old calico
apron went up to wipe a tear. lThen
the eldest child stepped forward and
asked:
care you sorry because you have
not got any children?"
I'll had children once, but they
are all d-dead," whispered the wom-
an, a sob in her throat. "I'm awful
sorry said the little girl as her chin
quivered sI'd give you one Of my
little brothers here, but you see I
haven't got but two, and I don't be-
lieve I'd like to spare one

Pedestrians who saw three we'll
dressed children put their arms
around that strange old woman's
neck and kiss her were greatly puz-
zled. They did not know the hearts
OF children, and they didn't hear
the woman's words as she rose to
go:
SsOh, children, I'm only poor old
woman, believing I'd nothing to live
for, but you've given me lighter
heart than I've had for ten long
years. "-Detroit Free Press.

America, were the first order of busi- ness before the convention this after noon. and the unexpected announce ment that the charges would be taken up. caused furry of excitement in the convention. Miss Miilie Meredith, an ex-e1nploye of the national office. made the charges. Miss Meredith read her own statement. It concerned the shortage of ex-Secretary-Treas Pearce. and alleged that President Mitchell and Secretary-T Treasurer Will son did not give out all the facts con cernins Pearce's actions, and that they "wilfully lied' to the miners committee a year ago. She demanded an investiGa tion of the books to see how much Pearce's shortage was.
 It was intinated that both Mitchell and Wilson sought to protect Pearce. and for that reason did not give put all the facts. and it is charged that Pearce frequently presented bills for double amount purchases. She also said Pearce's extra money" amounted to S2.O00 a year. while Mitchell and Wilson reported that he had taken only $16O Miss Meredith declared that Mitchell allowed Pearce to go away as q 'sicl5 man" and send in his/resig- nation from French Lick Springs.
 At the conclusion of her statements Sscretary-Treasurcr Wilson arose and denied the truth Of her statement. and said it was the outgrowth of spite. Miss Meredith. he said, was recently let out as an assistant secretary.

The convention appeared to be with the president, as his remarks were frequently inter rupted with applause. President Mitchell made an affidavit that the ers'. convention a year ago was the truth and the whole truth, He sub r7ftted the affidavit to the convention.
