Cecil Rhodes will occupy a unique place
in British and African history. His ca
reer has often been likened to that Of
Robert Give. the poor and melancholy
young man who went out TO Calcutta as
a clerk of the East India company, drove
out the French and founded the British
Empire i'm India.
Rhodes went out 10 South Africa as a
mere boy, In bad health. I'm 1871. He made
lot OF money at Kimberley, oscillated
between South Africa and England until
he took the NJ. A. degree at oxford, in
1881, and studied law.
Then he went back TO Kimberley and
grew enormously rich in working the dia-
mond mines. He was not merely a
money-hunter; he had dreams OF empire
building and was really a fine type OF the
lingo, with a sincere and intense enthu-
siasm-not In the least conscious of the
narrow race selnshness underlying it-for
the extension of Anglo-Saxon supremacy
over as much OF the earth's surface and
as many human millions as possible, re-
gardless of their wishes.
Dominated by this idea, his life was
spent I'm scheming TO color the map OF
Africa red from Cairo 10 the Cape"
lie colored It very red. too-particularly
In the Transvaal, the Orange Free State
and Cape Colony.
The war was the inevitable outcome
OF his aggressive schemes. The Jameson
raid which was its prologue. was his
work At As, exhausted by his prodigious
exertions OF brain and body, he closed
his eyes upon a country desolated with
cruel war directly traceable to his over
weening and unscrupulous ambition.

LONDON NOT SURPRISED.
London. March 26-The death of Cecil
Rhodes came as no great surprise TO
those few who saw anything OF him dur
ing his last visit to London during the
winter. Whether ii was due 10 his ex-
periences during the long siege of Kim
berley, or the accumulated anXieties re-
gardlng the war in South Africa. with an
accompanying change OF public feeling
In England towards him, there is no
doubt he was almost completely broken
down within the last two years.
Even his appearance changed. His once
finely chiseled face had become bloated
and his always huge frame filled out
until the colossus became so stout as TO
make walking a matter of difficulty.
He frequently was attacked with severe
heart troubles. during which he exhibited
the stOiclsm which marked his eNtraordi-
nary career. Nor did he allow his bodily
ailments 10 interfere with business.
Among his associates In the city ne never
mentioned them, nor did he permit them
10 be mentioned to him.
Up TO the last Mr.. Rhodes Kept ntm
grip on all those vast south African IN
terests created and controlled by him. Ex-
Cept that he was more irritable and more
