FUNERAL OF CECIL RHODES.
Services Held in the Cathedral at
Cape Town.


Cape Town, April t4-Throughout
the morning a continuous stream of
people passed by the coffin containing
the body Of Cecil Rhodes as it rested
in Parliament House. The funeral pro-
cession was most imposing. The cof-
fin, which was draped with the tat
tered Union Jack which belonged to
Mr.. Rhodes and with the tattered flag
Of the British Chartered South African
company which went through the fight
at Massikessi, was carried on the Long
Cecil gun carriage, used at the siege
of Kimberley, through the crowded
streets to the cathedral. The streets
were lined by troops, who saluted the
passing cortege. The pallbearers were
DR.. Jameson, Sir John Gordon, Sprigg,
the premier of Cape Colony, and six
others. The chief mourner was Colo
mel Frank Rhodes, who walked alone
and bareheaded, followed by the other
brothers of the deceased.
At the conclusion of the services the
procession reformed, the dead march
was played and the mourners proceed
ed to the station, whence the remains,
accompanied by the family and the
executors of the will, were taken to
Rhodesia.
The entire ceremony lasted two and
half hours.

REPUTATION AS "a PROPHET.
Grand Forks Herald: This unusual
high water, it may be noted, was pre-
dicted weeks before hand by Hon. VIM.
Moorhead, who was North Dakota's &
Oldest settler, and whose death has
occurred since Mr.. Moorhead pre-
dicted that the water would be SO

find Mr. Moerhead's explanation of
his nickname. He says:
It's because I'm always predicting

some more water, and they put rope
around my neck down there where t.
post Office is, and led me to where the
Winches ster house now stands. There
was considerable sized tree there
then, and they told me; that they didn't
want any more Of my predictions, as
tlley had enough water already. Then
showed them a knothole in a plank on
the side Of my house, and the water
was mighty nigh UP to it. g Gentlemen,
I said, the water will not run through
that hole this time. Then they took
the rope off my neck, and some fool
fellows came around and wanted to bet
that the water would run through the
knothole. took their bets, and the

Eight Big Hotels are Burned and the
Total Loss Will be More than
Two Millions.
Uncon6rmed Report is Current that
Six Persons Lost Their Lives
in the Flames.
Atlantic City, N. J., April AT 2:20
p.s m. the fire was reported to be unde,
control. The estimated loss is about
$2,0OO,00O.

mOSL disastrous. cOnnagrdtlOn that has
ever visited this city is raging along
the beach for distance of over three
blocks. Eight hotels have been en-.
tirely destroyed. A strong southwest
wind is blowing and the fremen seem
to be unable to cope with the flames.
Assistance was asked from Philadel-
phia and Camden and the former city
sent three engines, the train making
the run in SIS minutes. There is an un.
confirmed report that six men have
lost their lives in the flames.
The fire originated in Brady's bath
house, located on the Board Walk be
tween New York and Kentucky ave
nues. The hotels so lar destroyed are
the Windsor, the Berkley, the STRAIT.
ford, the Stickney, the Luray, the Tarl.
ton and the Evard.
The New Holland hotel, on Ken.
tucky avenue. and Young's pier have
caught and are burning fiercely. So
far as can be learned no lives have
been lost among the guests.
The six men who are supposed to
have been burned to death are two po-
icemen, believed to have been buried
in the ruins of the Berk1ey hotel; two
firemen and two musicians, members
of the Royal Italian band, who are said
to have been in the Berkeley. Practi
cally all of the property on fire is at,
tached to the Board Walk, a frame
structure 40 feet wide
skirtins the Edge Of the Ocean
and consists mainly of f1imsy wooded
stores and lighthouses. Fortunately
the brisk wind which is blowing is car
rying the flames away from the section
of the city in which the most valuable
hotels and cottages are located.
The three Philadelphia fire compa.

O'Clock and Immediately began an at,

The Morris Guards, a local military
organization, has placed the use of its
armory at the disposal of the sufferers
The drill he'll room looks like a big
storage house.
Chief of Police Eldridge ordered out
the entire police force to care for prop.
erty in the streets, and in addition
hundreds of citizens volunteered to as.
sist in the work of policing property.
The Luray hotel had the greatest
number of guests and as this was one
Of the first places attacked by the
flames there were many scenes of ex.
citement as the guests made a hasty
exit. Fashionably dressed women
helped carry trunks and valises, while
not few people who had not yet left
bed ran out onto the Board Walk in
negligee.
In most of the hotels burned there
was comparatively few guests, as the
crowd of visitors incident to the Easter
season had mostly departed.
The timely assistance from Phila,
delphia and Camden aided materially
in stopping the sweep of the flames.
The Hotel Richmond, on Kentucky
avenue, which was in the path of the
flames, was saved to the surprise OF
all, the fire being stopped at the New
Holland House. The Kenilworth Inn
has been saved. although the Everard

Washington, April 4.-The senate

to be chief of engineers and Colonel
George B. Davis to be judge advocate
general and an unfavorable report on
the nomination of Captain William

found in the fact that he is charged
