Mr. Chamberlain at the Corona Club dinner
last night said he was delighted by the way IN
which the peace terms had been accepted by the
Beers. 1t was a happy augury for the future.
The war had established British dominion on
firm and lasting basis in South Africa, and done
much to consolidate and strengthen the links
which bound all parts Of the empire together
He believed that South Africa was on the eve
Of an era Of prosperity such as it had never
previously known.

overcome. Rhodes estimated that
$4,000 lives would be sacrificed in the
construction. 1t would require an
army of $780, 900 workers. Rhodes
transcontinental telegraph line is even
now being built.
Mr.. Rhodes was born July Z. 1853.
He was one of seven brothers. HIS
father was a country parson, Rev.
Francis William Rhodes, at one time
vicar of Bishop Stortford, Hertz.
The man who controlled the des-
TIMES of Africa and who has been
called the most active man in the
world, never had time to get married.
For all that he was a highly polished
man and shone in woman's society. It
may be that with q wife his gigantic
plans would have sunk to the cares of
the family man and the course of his
tory might have been changed by so
slight a cause,
When the two brothers arrived in
Natal they first went on a cotton plan
tation. Then the rush to the diamond
fields of Colesburg kopje, now known
as Kimberley, began, and the young
men went to the mines and laid out
claims.
AS a miner young Rhodes swung the
pick and dabbled in the blue mud
for diamonds. In a surprising Snort
time he won health and fortune, too.
With health and strength the ideas
of the dreamer became widened.
Wealth to him was but a means by
which to rise to higher things. But
it was absolutely necessary.
He secured a majority of the stock
Of the great De Beers mine, with its
$ $1,000, 900 capital, Other properties
were secured until at last every mine
in the Kimberley district was united
in the De Beers Consolidated, with a
capital of $780, 600 and a revenue
that has been phenomenal.
The English government had not
been called into his plans thus far.
Meantime Rhodes was establishing his
political influence at Cape Colony. He
secured the complete confidence of Sir
Hercules Robinson. the governor. He
impressed him with the boundless
prospects ahead in the settlement of
Africa.

Wonderful Career
of Cecil Rhodes

In 1871 a young Oxford undergradu-
ate, broken in health by consump-
ton, left England in charge Of his
brother with the despairing hope that
in the highlands of Natal his life
would be prolonged.
Two years later he had been re-
stored to health. He had laid the
foundation of a meteoric career that
has won for England the south half
Of the African continent and gained a
unique place in the history of the
British empire.
Romance has been %outclassed by the
life of Cecil Rhodes. There was no
project too great for his ambition and
he firmly believed in the maxim that
"a man can get anything he wants, If
he only wants it enough. The great
struggle now going on in South Africa
is the direct outcome of his gigantic
plans for the overthrow of all control
save that of England. and the weld
the Union Jack. He lived to see the
vision almost realized.
One of the most gigantic railway
schemes ever thought of was the
Cape to Cairo railway, which Mr..
Rhodes determined to construct. His
wonderful powers were exerted on
Kaiser William of Germany, who,
after a conference with him, gave per-
mission to build the road over a part
Of the German possessions in Africa.
No other opposition of Importance has
been met. The road is projected to
run through the interior of the conti-
nent.
Rivers must be leaped, swamps
drained, morasses made solid, and
mountains bored through. Hostile
tribes and deadly climates have to be

Those bright youngsters who serve
as pages in the house of representa-
tives at Washington have formed what
they call the HOP congress" They
call it so because the members put in
their time during the sessions of the
real house hopping around from desk
to desk on errands for the legislators.
The hop congress- assemblies at $3.50
o'clock in the morning, before the
genuine members are at their desks,
and its deliberations are carried on
with as much dignity and precision as
is the real thing which assemblies at
noon. Page J. H. Hollingsworth of
New York is the speaker of the minia-
ture congress and he d%ispenses his
rulings from the chair which Speaker
Henderson occupies later in the day.
He emphasizes his remarks by pound
ing the same marble slab that Speak
er Henderson pounds. MI. Payne's
desk is occupied by the chairman of
the junior ways and means commit
tee and Mr.. DalzelIs by the leader
Of the committee on rules. The pages
have a sergeant-at-arms and a clerk
of the house and recently legislation
reached such a stage that it was
found imperative to have a Major
Pruden to deliver messages from the
president.

The race for Matabeleland began
and Dom Paul Kruger was defeated
in it by Rhodes.
His soldiers streamed through Be
chuanaland and Newfoundland. He
found Mashonaland harried by the
M~atebeles and sent a machine gun ex-
petition against them.
This resulted in thousands of dead
savages and the absorption of Mata-
beleland. The Mashona people were
left to till the soil in peace.
Finally the dominion Of his com
pany, which is the dominion o.
Rhodes, extended all over "Rhodesia."
He had kicked out the Portuguese ami
shot out the natives, and his empire
was safe. In this aggression he was
backed by the Cape Colony govern
ment, because it believed that he in
tended to make of Cape Town the po-
litical and commercial center of. the
United States of South Africa"
Germans, Beers and Portuguese were
claiming the country. Mr.. Rhodes be-
lieved that the domination of an oil
garchy of Dutchmen who resisted nat
ural expansion was doomed. Later on
he acted.
In 1890 Mr.. Rhodes became premier
of Cape Colony, which office he held
for five years. Under his rule German
ambition and designs had been baf-
fed by him single-handed and a vast
territory gained for his native land.
The iron rule of the Dutch premier in
the Transvaal bore heavily on the Eng
fish settlers. Rhodes became their
champion.
That he was connected with the
Jameson raid into the territory of the
Beers is no longer doubted. It's failure
gave the Beers the opportunity to pre-
pare for a struggle with the English
when it should be backed by the gov
eminent.
Rhodes never expressed regret for
the attempt.
He declared that he had proof that
the Pretoria government had been in
triguing with Germany.
While the .Boer war was raging Mr..
Rhodes was shut up in Kimberly,
while the Beers besieged the place. 1t
is said that if they had captured him
a ransom of $40, OOO, 900 would have
been demanded, il case his life was
not declared forfeited.
A reward of $4,000 was offered for
his body, dead or alive. To the Orange
Free State officials and the Transvaal-
ers his personality and ambitions were
hateful to the last degree. Mr.. Rhodes
escape is well known.
An Englishman wrote of Rhodes:
"He has the face of a Caesar. the am
bition of a Loyola, and the wealth of
a C~roesus." AS to his ambition and
wealth there a be no doubt. Rhodes
had the scholars brow and the steely
blue eyes and thin lips of the mar of
indomitable will.
Like all successful men he battered
down opposition and forced his ideas
on those by whom he was surrounded.
Those ideas, however, were not mar
rowed to self. but as broad in their
scope as national British aspirations.
If England ever succeeds in planting a
second America on the soil of Asia she
will W that treasure to the fact that
the young Oxford graduate was driven
from home by the ravages of dread
consumption. His subsequent adven-
lures will ultimately become fabulous,

Cancer Contagious.

After studying over 1900 reports Of
cancer cases in Germany. the Berlin
committee for the Investigation of that
disease is said e have positively esz
tablished that ANGER is not hereditary,
but that il is contagious and is com
m%unicable through the medium Of
plants.
Dogs ana cats and other house ami
mails suffer from cancer, but horses
and cattle are very little affected by it.
The committee finds that the disease. is
increasing in extent, that II Is not
chiefly confined to persons of advanced
age, as hitherto believed. and that the
relative immunity of men is on the
wane.

car over FIFTY Years 400.

gan over Fifty Years Ago,
The dean OF the women lecturers Of
the United States is Rev. Antoinette
Brown Blackwell She made her first
appearance on the platform IN tS46,
antedating amy of the pioneers now
living. In 1917. in company with Lucy
Stone, she conducted a discussion in
the presence of a professor and the
senior class of Oberlin college and that
year prepared an exegesis giving a
new Interpretation Of st. Pauls teach
ing concerning women. In 1S4S, when
Mrs. Stanton called the first woman's
rights convention, Miss Brown had
nearly completed a year of the regular
theological Ourse with a class of men
and one other woman-Lettice Smith
Holmes.
In 1850 she took her degree and be-
gan preaching as opportunity offered.
The same year she attended tine first
national woman's rights convention,
since which time she has been pub
licly identified with the woman suf-
frage movement. In 1852 she became
pastor of a church in South Butler,
New York in which she wast ASHAMED
by a united council one year. later.
During this year she was sent as a
regular delegate to the first worlds
temperance convention, held in New
Yor, but was denied a delegates rights
because she was a woman Until about
1850 Rev. Antoinette Brown Blackwell
frequently made %lecturing trips with
Miss Anthony and has V given up,
during the forty-nine years since she
made her first public speech, either
pulpit or platform work. Latterly her
work has been mostly with the pen
and largely in the line of philosophy.
Several books and many other writ
ings attest her industry and ability.

NEW Works. HOTELS.

An idea of the abundance of hotel

had from the statement of the presi-

the greatest hotel center in the world.
1t has more hotels than London, Paris

as many hotels in New York to-day as
there were a year ago, and they are

score, by the hundreds, and they are
reckoned the best investment there is
