Chinese Officials
Commit Suicide

A Chinese paper published in Pekin
has obtained the following details rela-
tive to the deaths of the high officials
Chauchuchiau, Yung-nien and Prince
Chwang, who committed suicide on
command of the emperor. It is impos-
sible to give the full report, as the de-
tails Of the actual suicides are given
with true Chinese barbarity and una
dorned lucidity. The whole account,
however, bears the stamp Of truth, and
the statement of the Chinese court that
the three officials had paid the penalty
for their crimes, hitherto improved,
may hereby be considered-as confirmed.
The report runs:
"Chauchuchiau ate gold leaf, which
is the distinguished method Of taking
ones life among well-to-do Chinese.
Death is caused not by poisoning, as is
generally assumed, but by asphyxia, as
the thin gold leaves stick In the air

ever, that the empress would have
mercy on him, he took too little. and.

scribed had elapsed. he took opium

African Irrigation
Immense Plant con.trueted BY Cecil Rhodes.

M WNa f-EEEErg ~ So 49, r. a LA E&H
An important piece OF work has re-
Gently been completed in the shape Of
Mr.. Rhodes Matoppo dam, which issto,
DO used in connection with the irri-
cation OF . portion Of his farm near
Bulawayo. Africa. This farm is situ-
ated on the northern edge Of the
Matoppos. eighteen miles from Bula-
wayo, and through 1t runs the val
ley Of a tributary from the Malima
river. This tributary is dry eight
months in the year, and the land
around consequently parched.
Mr.. Rhodes schemes are nothing il
not big. and In this instance he has
built Q huge earthwork wall to. dam
the tributary. The work was begun
In May, 1899, and has taken nearly.
two and a half years to complete. It
will render possible the cultivation Of
some 1000 to 5000 acres of the most
fertile soil. The total cost up to date
has been something under ESQ, 900.
The completion Of a canal to divert the
Malime food waters into the reservoir
will bring this total up to about $685.

should be q fair return for the capital
invested. The scheme, however, must
not be looked upon as one in which
the object has been to make money,
but rather in the light Of an experi-
ment, to show what crops can be
grown under irrigation In Rhodesia.
and from this point of view it should
be Of inestimable value to the coun-
try.
The dam wall is a tremendous I'M

the making Of it no less than 1901 900
cubic yards Of rock and earth have
been handled.
Steam and OK power have been EN-.
ployed for the construction, and man
ual power eliminated as far as pos
sible. Ploughs loosened the required
material, and self-flling and dumping
scoops handled it.
A small body Of water was conserv.
ed last season, and fifty acres of lu-
cerne planted as a beginning. It is
doing extremely well under irrigation.

selves as Japs.
To one who IL not we'll acquainted

the difference between q. Chinese with

by the Chinese repeatedly and with

United States.
The dress and other characteristics
were changed in accordance. The
-sa.curedness with which all Chinese are
said to regard their queues had been
instrumental in getting them past the
inspectors when their braids have been
missing.

with porches at the front and across
the western side Of all three floors.
This house, taken apart from its vast
and magnificent surroundings, would
rank with many of the fine city resi-
dences; but at Forest Hill 1t becomes
the central figure of an immense estate.
The immensely of Mr.. Rockefeller's
holdings here would indicate that he
does not propose to be outdone by even
the lords and barons OF monarchical
lands. Eight hundred acres, with for
ests, brooks, gardens, walks, drives,
golf grounds and residences of atten-
dants, form one Of the most interest
ing sights of the buckeye state.
The Rockefeller residence is ever
larger than it appears in the picture.
It towers above the old shade trees,
which are on a level with it. There
are two main entrances to the spacious
halls. Of the first floor. One is at the
front, the steps from the porch at this
point leading directly to the lawn
within a few feet of the long slope.
The other entrance is opposite the
carriage porch on the east side. The

entrance when the family is to go for

come into prominence it has developed
that many Of these Celestials. not wish
ing to incur the wrath Of their ortho-
dox brethren and. thinking their
chances better for consideration at the
hands of Americans, have represented
themselves as Japanese. Their hair is
coarser than that Of the Japanese, how
ever. and their features are quite diff
'ferent to one familiar with both races.
There are comparatively few Japan
,ese in the United States. There is no
disposition on the part Of the Japs to
emigrate to the. United States a the
Chinese do.
The Japanese do not take kindly to
the sorts Of work to which the Chinese
are adapted. When they do remove to
America: however, the Japanese take
up American ways and make intelli-
gent and progressive {; .izens. This is
said by Consul Toshiro Fujita to be
due to the fact that the Japanese are
educated and broad-minded. Nearly
all educated Japanese have a knowl-
edge of English, and government docu-
merts, and treaties aresprinted both in
Japanese and English.

ing and. sacred, therefore, in the an
nails Of American literature, the an
cestral palace of John D. Rockefeller,
the first Millionaire, will shortly be
erected.
This magnificent castle to be built.
by the richest man in the world, will,
when completed, be conferred upon his
son, John D.. Rockefeller, Jr., who, as
lord of the Pocantico hills, will rule an
estate vast and imposing.
The Rockefeller castle is to cost, at
the very least computation. $1,000. 900,
to initiate all that is most imposing in
the feudal castles of England and
France, to be enriched with the art
treasures that great wealth can alone
command. to excel in the extravaganza
of its interior establishment Of rare
marbles, costly bric-a-brac. priceless
tapestries and plate.
John d. Rockefeller, Jr., proposes
that the new house Of Rockefeller
shall be the finest country seat, In the
country.
The new stable on this estate is
about complete. It cost $250,000 and is
built Of highly polished granite. The
building covers more tnan 800 square
feet. It is three stories high, count
ing the basement. which will be used
for farm wagons. It is replete with

How to Diminish Crime.

In the opinion of Sir Robert Ander--
son, in an article on Professional
Crime in the current issue Of Nine
teenth Century, we now allow to be
wasted a very large part Of the knowl-
edge in the archives of Scotland Yard
and in the heads Of its principal Of
ficers, says a London paper. They
could put their fingers tomorrow on
some seventy professional criminals
who are the inspirers and organizers
of by far the greater part Of what may
be called the skilled offenses against
property in this country. and If these
seventy men, all of whom have prob
ably been convicted many times. we're
simultaneously seized and shut up in
a prison or asylum for the rest of their
lives, there would be a drop in crime
comparable with the drop in typhns
cases from the end OF the eighteenth
to the end of the nineteenth centuries
