Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 5.-A

The tiger had been put in a WACO,

lowered to show the animals in the
palade. In transit the sides are board

was on a platform car with four other
wagons. Next to the platform car was

save orders that they should be paid.
The amounts so paid are estimated at
from s150,000 to 100000. The atten-
ton of Cecil Rhodes was called to the
fact that if he continued to ACCEPT
and to pay the notes he would become
legally an accomplice in their issue
an accomplice in their forgery-and
no one could tell what amount this
mysterious commercial paper might
represent. Cecil Rhodes then ceased
to pay them. AS natural conse-
quence Princess Radziwill was ar
rested on a charge of forgery. The
death of Cecil Rhodes happened at
this juncture.
Those most intimate with Cecil
Rhodes assert that he was profoundly
moved when he learned what had
happened. that he was unable to OBJ
tain an avowal of the exact sums for
which his alleged forged signatures
were circulating in south Africa and
that the shock and suffering caused
by the forgeries fastened the crisis
that led to his death 1t should. never
theless, be borne in mind that all in
timacy between Cecil Rhodes and
Princess RadZiwill had ceased for
some time prior to the issue of the
notes, and that at the time of his last
voyage to Europe Cecil Rhodes had
changed his ship in order to avoid
travelling on the same vessel as the
princess.
Princess Radziwill is now in south

ment : Cecil Rhodes has left be-
hind him this living enigma. before
which we remain in doubt. If the
princess be declared guilty, then the
enemies of Cecil Rhodes will accuse
him of not in the last hours of his
life effacing with a dash of his pen a |
crime that he had, to say the least, en-
couraged. If she be found innocent a
severe judgment will weigh upon the
reputation of a man who was borne to
his grave without wishing to be the
first to declare her innocence.

Winter brings balls and therefore a

cloth in place of shoe leather has the
advantage that it will go with any
dress, and the one illustrated is dain-

rendered all the more suitable to dane

which keeps it on securely without any
