KfpLING ON RHODES.
Four-yerse Poem to he Rend nt the
 Interment.

London, April 9,-The Times this morning publishes a four-verse poem by Rudyard Kipling which is to be read at the interment of Cecil Rhodes tomor- row The second verse of this poem is as follows:
 Dreamer devont by visions led,
 Beyond our guess or reach, The travail of his spirit bred
 Cities in place of speech. So huge the all-mastering thought that
 drove,
 So brief the term allowed, Nations, not words. he linked to prove
 His faith before the crowd.
 Then. describing the dead waiting for the granite tomb at Matoppos Hills in fufllment of his vision, the poem con- cludes: The immense and breeding spirit still Shall quicken and control; Living, he was the land, and dead,
 His soul shall be her soul.

 BANQUET IN CHARLESTON.
Thorough Unity of the Nation Taught by the Recent War-No Difference Which Section n Man Game From SO Long as He Did His Duty-Progress of South Caroltna-W elfare of One Part of the Country an Inder to That of the Whole.

Charleston, $. C., April S.--The ban
 quet rendered to President Roosevelt
 tonight at the Charleston hotel was a fitting close to a day full of interesting
 incidents, and served to gather together
 men prominent in the affairs of the
 state, having solely in mind a greeting to the president. The banquet hall was decorated with pinks and smilax, and
 loosely streWn over the tables were thousands of violets. Over three hum dred guests were present. Mayor Smythe welcomed President Roosevelt to Charleston and the president re- sponded. He was interrupted frequent ly by applause. The prs 5sident's remarks, were as follows:
 MT. Mayor and you, my hosts and my fellow American ctizens-I should indeed be but a poor American myself if were not deeply touched and grat- flied by the way you have greeted me to-day in this your beautiful city; and of course I feel at home here. (Ap- plause) I think that an American who is worth his salt has the right to feel at home in every part of the United States. (Applause.)
 Around this table I see many men who took part in the great war. The war in which the younger among us here took part was very little one, be- cause it did not have to be any bigger. (Applause.) But 1t had one thoroughly good effect-it put the cap on the struc- ture that had been building while we were almost unconscious of it, and it taught us how thoroughly one we were. When we got through that war it did not make bit of difference to us whether it was an admiral who came from Vermont or lieutenant who came from Alabama (appause), if the man had done his duty in such shape as to make us each feel an even more gener- ous thrill of pride in our common na- tionality. The debt that we owed him had little to do with the section from which he came (Applause)
 And now special word to you of ! Charleston and of South Carolina. Just | twelve years ago when I first went to | Washington to take part in government tai work, I was immediately thrown [ into. singularly close contact and intim- acy with South Carolinan. It was my i good fortune to work with him for three years and Tor the nine years S1nce and f for as long as I shall continue to be in | public life it will to me ever be spur i to try to do decent duty for the repub- lie, because I have been thrown intim- ately in contact with as fearless and as [ public servant as this country has ever had, my old friend. your former governor-Hugh Thomp- son. (Great applause)
 And from what have known of you and of your representatives 1t was in no sense surprise but it was a keen pleasure to be greeted with the hearty generous hospitality, the more than hearty and generous hospitality which you have shown me to-day. (Applause).

BABY BOY BURNED TO DEATH
i SAD ACCIDENT ON MILL RIVER
 STREET YESTERDAY.

| Little Edward Collins Pulled Lamp Full of oil from Shelf Upon a Red Hot stove-He Was Terribly Burned and Died Later at New Haven Hospital The Mother Severely Burned While Trying to Extinguish the Flames.
 Little Edward Collins, a year-old child, died at New Haven hospital at
 o'clock last evening of severe burns re-
 ceived at the home of the child's par
 ents, P Mill River street, about 3:30
 yesterday afternoon.
 The accident happened in a very pc culiar way. The mother Mrs. Timothy J. Collins, had hung a sheet from a mantel at the back of the kitchen stove to dry. She had set lamp on the up per end of the sheet to hold 1t on the shelf, while the lower end hung down by the back of the stove. The baby was playing about the floor and caught hold of the lower end of the hanging sheet, pulling the lamp from the mantei, The lamp struck the red hot stove and broke spilling the oil over the stove. The oil instantly caught fire and splashed over the baby, who was immediately envel- oped in flame.
 Mrs. Collins sprang to the baby and frantically tried to extnguish the blazing clothes of the child in the mean time crying out an alarm of fire. She was heard by neiehbors, who rang the alarm from box 431 at the corner of East and Walnut streets Mrs Collins managed to extinguish the fire in the baby's clothing, but not before nearly all the clothing had been burned from the child and his body horribly burned
 When the firemen arrived they ap- piled ointments for burns, which they always carry with them, and somewhat the sufferings of the child, and the mother, who had also been badly burned until physicians arrived, pr. w. M. Kenna and Dr, O'Connor were called and finding him in a critical con dition they had the baby removed to the New Haven hospital,
 Mrs. Collins in putting out the fire which was burning her baby was her. self severely burned about the hands and arms, but she will recover
 The fire in the kitchen was extin- guished before any damage of conse- 1uence to the furniture and woodwork was caused

LAUGH AT GEORGE WASHINGTON
@WHO COULD NOT TELL A LIE"

LAUGH AT GEORGE WASHINGTON
@WHO COULD NOT TELL A LIE"
The characteristics of the Malay
people of the Philippines must be pc
culiar. School boys laugh at the story
Of George Washington, the cherry tree
and the little Ratchet, told them by an
American school teacher, because of
the inability of little George to tell a
lie. The incident shows the racial diff
fculties encountered in dealing with
the people Of the islands.
Stephen BonsaI, in the current num-
Der of the North American Review,
has an extended article entitled "The
Philippines an Earthquake .
He toured the archipelago for three
months and examined carefully the
educational methods being introduced
there, and gives an amusing example
Of the reception given to the teaching
in the schools.
The salient features of American
history are taught, and among them
the story of Washington and the cher
~ tree" The teacher asks the class
of Malay boys, by the aid of an inter
prefer, "What did little George say?"
They are prompted as to the answer.
Father, cannot tell a lie. I did it
with my little Ratchet" The little
Malay lads calculate, "Chunkol''- 'the
BOBBY" One Of the mothers being
present to observe how the youngsters
were getting on, also remarked, "Poor
Mother, to bring forth such a stupid
SOM" The incident is characteristic
and significant.

IL So HoME N1eHTs.
City in Hanover where Husbands Ars
Fined for Staying Out Laie-aIust
BE Home BY II O'clock

From the New York Press.
At Uelzen, a city IN the western part
or Hanover, the authorities have just
passed law which has met with the
warm approval Of the women Of the
place and the indignant protests Of the
married men. The passage Of this Law
shows what lovely women can do IN the
way Of law making. even when she does
not possess a franchise 1t seems that
OF late the married men Of Uelzen have
been much given TO staying out late of
nights, and had contracted the habit Of
hanging their hats on the gas fixtures
and putting their trousers in the coal
scuttle when they finally arrived at home
and retired for the night.
The town was getting altogether too
convivial. The old, time-honored ex-
cuses Of sthe lodge" and EbusinessH and
sitting up with sick friend" were worn
threadbare. The women resolved TO act
They exercised all their influence with
the city fathers and finally got a law
passed requiring that all married men
should be home at or before IL o'clock
every night. The penalty for a violation
of this law is fixed at a fine Of g for
each Offense. Half Of the tine goes to
the person making the complaint, who in
all cases under the act so far has been
the wife.
By means of this law the homes of
Uelzen are expected to be IN an ideal
condition before long, and the wife's au-
thority therein unquestioned. If"hubby'
forgets himself and stays out after IL
some night the wife can either have him
| fined and get her share Of the proceeds
or she can do what is better-she can
hold the knowledge Of his law breaking
over his head as a club with which to
enforce obedience and good behavior
generally.
Needless to say, the married men Of
the neighboriDg German towns are much
exercised over the action Of the city au-
thorities of Uelzen, for the law is work
ing so well there that they are afraid it
viii prove contagious and spread to
their own bOrOughs. The unmarried
men Of Uelzen, Of course, are as much
pleased with the law as the womes Of
the town. They can now stay out at
night aud enjoy themselves free from
tbs incubus Of the old fogies, who here
tOfore have insisted on joining in their
festivities, regardless of the fact that
they ought 20 be at home looking after
their families.

An Attack on privilege"


From the Kansas City Star.
The Public, a single tax periodical
calls attention to one speech at the re
cent democratic banquet IN New York
that has been altogether overlooked
1t was an attack upon privilege" by
G. E. S. Wood, of Portland, Ore, and
the Public thinks it was purposeIy
suppressed" The fact was, Of course,
that it was not reported simply be
cause Mr. Wood is an unknown man
east Of the Pacific coast, at any rate
and nobody paid especial attention to
what he said.
The speech deserves attention, how
ever, because it represents the views Of
the radical wing Of the democratic
party-of the faction which finds its
strongest exponent in Tom johnson, Of
Cleveland Furthermore, the party
managers gave some recognition to
that wing in putting a man of Woods
radical views on the programme. The
speaker declared that tariff reform was
only a phase Of the real democratic
issue, which he believed was privilege y
And he continued:
Look at the great fortunes Of to-day. Are
they made BY ability7 The great mass Of men
have difficulty 70 keep body and soul together,
and some other men have unthinkable fortunes.
Can we say that the mental powers of the few
are superior to those of the many as the
riches of those few are IN contrast with the pow
erty of the manyl I don't believe it. 1t is not
natural. l don't want TO say anything against
riches. What want to say is that the masses
of the people are not getting their rights. And
it is the democratic party's business to get
them their rights-tO make war upon privilege
which is depriviag them of their rights.
Mr.. Wood went on to say that on the
Pacific coast they were finding the
source of the wrong in the present
land system, and he added: "The real
principle Of democracy has sooner or
later got IL, take up that question and
settle it on the principle of equal
rights" While the Public does not
outline Mr.. Woods remedy it is to be
inferred that he advocates a tax upon
land values irrespective of improve
ments.
David B. Hills speech eclipsed that
Of the comparatively obscure westener.
But the democratic wing that Mr..
Wood represented is becoming more
and more prominent. His address
brought out ideas which the party will
probably have to reckon with in a few
years.
