Rhode $ Re sting Place.

In dispatch from Cape Town, the
correspondent of the London Daily Mail
says that Cecil Rhodes, whose death
occurred March 10Th, selected the spot
where he desired TO be inferred and
gave instructions to an architect con.
corning the memorial to be erected,
when he last visited Matoppon Hills.
The place of inte1ment is beneath a
natural cairn of giant boulders, on a
kopje adjoining that on which Major
Wilson's little force made its last stand,
The memorial TO be ere cted will be a
prominent feature of the striking land
scape. The date of the intermert OF
the body of Mr.. Rhodes is doubtful,
says the correspondent of the Daily
Mail, owing to the necessity of the con-
struction of special carriage road from
Buluwayo. AT present there is nothing
more than bride path. Work on this
road has already commenced, but its
completion will require one month.
Continuing, the correspondent says
that death mask of the dead mans
face has been successfully taken. The
features of the deceased, which were
distorted as result of his malady, re
sumed their reposeful dignity in death
After the autopsy, which revealed al
extensive aneurism of the heart, Tho
remains were placed in q coffin. The
body will lie in the hall at Grooteschu
until Monday in order TO enable the pub
lie to view it. 1t will be brought to
Cape Town, Tuesday.

Partly owing to the fact that she was
welded to an ayaricious king and part
ly because she was generous with the
little money allowed her Elizabeth of
York, queen of Henry VII, spent but a
small amount for dress, She was very
often in debt, and the sums she spent
were ridiculously small, 20 shillings $50
being the greatest amount expended at
any one time. Her gowns were mend
ed and turned, and new waists were
made for them, as is shown by the rec
ord of bills paid to her tailor, These
bills prove that she wore her clothes
for a long time, for her gowns We're
obliged to be newly hemmed, and also
that, though princess of the great

The images of the gods in India are
not made by a separate caste, but the
carpenters and masons respectively
make the large wooden and stone idols
set up in the temp es, the potters the
clay idols consumed in daily worship
and the braziers, coppersmths and
godsmlths the little images in brass,
copper mixed metal and gold and sill
yer that are always kept in private
homes. The East Indians regard an
alloy of brass with five other metals
gold, silver. iron, tin and lead, making,
with the copper and zinc of the brass,
a mixture of light metals-as a perfect
alloy, and this is highly priced as n
material for sacred images.

Portland Press If Rathbone has
been convicted without convincing evi
dence, as his friends assert, then he has
good ground for complaint. But what
his friends say in his behalf must be
taken with many grains of allowance.
But whatever the fact, it will have to bt
left to the Cuban courts to better. Talk
about passing a law to bring him back
to this country and try him here is the
merest moonshine. In the first place il
is probably not in the power of Congress
to do any such thing, aud in the second
place Congress would hardly undertake
to exercise such power, even il it has It,
in this case. There is an appeal from
the court that convicted him 10 another

night. When the curtain rose last nigh
at the Auditorium, it rose to audience
that filled the house and when it fell at

from a we'll pleased audience, which went
away, having thoroughly established in
their minds, the success that Miss Laura
Hubert and the BurTill Comedy CON-
pany will attain while here this week.
The company is one OF the best ever seen
here and in fact is much better than a
great many companies that high price
of admission is charged. Miss Hubert
and Mr.. Burrill, the stars of the company
are exceptionally good. The specialties
were all exceedingly well done, and Lit
tie Elsie, deserves great deal of credit

ing was beautiful, while the other special

"By action of all the Evangelical Ali
ances of the world the week from Janu-

special week OF united prayer. For more
than half a century such union or pray
ing hearts at the opening of the year has
been marked by gracious answers from
above. The consciousness OF the essen
tial unity OF ali believers in Christ, faith
IN believing supplication. the need OF a
practical purifying of both heart and life,
the grateful recognition of personalC Christ-
ian duty, the sense that the supreme mis-
sion OF the Church is to help in saving
the lost, together with a realization OF the
brotherhood OF men, have been quick
ened by the earnest observance OF the

ion is now renewed.
"Let US. as still in the shadow OF a
great national affection, and in the re.
awakening feeling OF dependence on God
which that afflicuon brought, plead for
our nation in the brotherhood of nations.
Let US pray for a national awakening,
which shall turn all hearts from unbelief
and all lives from wrong doing. Let us
heartily own our personal opportunity for
making our land Immanuels land, and
thus far aiding in evangelizing the world.
Let us consistently invoke the fullness OF
the Divine blessing on missions, both
home and foreign. Let us, in union
with all believers, pray tor that promised
