RHODES BELIEVED IN GHOSTS

In his recently published book OF
travel, Mr. A. X Colquhoun has set
down some "reminiscences of Cecil
Rhodes, whom he knew to have been
afraid of ghosts
AT one time he shared a house in
Adderley street, Cape Town, with. two
other men. and that house was haunt

ing its reputation, was disturbed by
footsteps in the night He complained
to Rhodes next morning. and learned
the fact that the empire builder was
not proof against superstition. The
mystery was never solved"
The traveller describes Rhodes as
the worst dressed man he had ever
seen, His old felt hat was battered
and dirty. his trousers bagged at the
knees. and his coats at the pockets"
He was "a firm believer in the power
OF the dollar, and had no false shame
about his methods. | remember once

CITIZENS 5 MILE RACE.

In hopes that every athlete will
read the following suggestions, they
are herein printed for their guild
ance.
First, before competing, or even
entering upon the course of train
ing necessary to compete in this
event safely, each athlete is ad-
vised to have his heart examined.
Second, not only should the athlete
have his arms and body covered in
his practice, but he should likewise
wear a loose fitting pair of long
woolen trousers, and he should have
his feet well protected, by strong
soles, from the pebbles and hard
road, and thus avoid bruises.
While the man running feels
warm, his arms and shoulders being
exposed to the cold air it is very
easy for him to contract rheuma-
tism and colds, which will result
later in life in much pain and dis
comfort.
The training should be started
with long walks at rapid gait with
frequent jogs, and the distance OF
the jog should be gradually in
creased until by the l 8 of May every
contestant can safely jog at about
two-thirds his best speed the full
course of five miles without great
inconvenience. He should be es.
pecially sure to cover up warmly af-
ter his work, and after his heart
and lungs have resumed their nor.
NAL rhythm. and his temperature
has become normal, to be rubbed
down in warm room, free from
draughts, after which he should rest
in bed warmly covered up for al
least an nour.
Since the race is to be in the af'
ternoon, the best time to train fol
this race is at that hour.
Tobacco and alcohol should bt
avoided, as no man can get in his
best condition and partake of these
things; especially is this true or the
young athlete who has not formed
the habit Of depending upon these
stimulants.
Four times around the Central
Park is a mile.
Entries should be made as soor
as possible.

principles, but until the time of his
return to his former home, In Pike
county, in one thousand eight
hundred and ninety-seven, his busi-
ness engagements had been such as
to AFFORD him little time to engage
in the active work of his party.
Soon after his return to his native
county, he became worker in the
ranks of his party, and so efficient
were his labors that in one thousand
eight hundred and ninety-nine he
was nominated and elected County
Treasurer of Pike county. In one
thousand nine hundred and two and
one thousand nine hundred and
four he was nominated by the
Democracy of his county as their
choice for Congress, failing, how
ever, to receive the district nomi-
nation. During his comparatively
short political career he was fire.
quently called upon to serve his
party as a delegate to district and
state conventions, which service he
always performed cheerfully.
He was elected to the Senate of
Pennsylvania from the Fourteenth
District in November, one thousand
nine hundred and six, and served
during the session of one thousand
nine hundred and seven. He died
at his home, at Rowland, on Octo-
ber second, one thousand nine
hundred and seven. Senator Row
land was never married, and at the
time of his death was living at the
Rowland homestead, with two un-
married sisters.
1t was my good fortune to know
Senator Rowland well. He was a
faithful and conscientious public
servant, and while he made no pre-
tentions of being leading member
| of the Senate, he was valued men,
ber of the minority, and had an
important part and mission in the
reform legislation of one thousand
| nine hundred and seven. We all
loved him for his kindness of heart
| and sympathetic nature. He never
was fault finder, and never a word
of criticism did he pass upon his fell
low members. He was conscientious
at all times; he belonged to that
class of men who practice the pro-
verb that "A soft answer turneth
away wrath" trait of character
that all of us could contemplate
with profit to ones peace of mind,
The world in these days of selfish
ness needs more of the milk of hui

man who has trained himself to
practice this virtue, we feel that the
world can ill afford to spare him.

ber, Senator Rowland But his
work was ended suddenly; almost
in the twinkling of an eye, he was
beckoned across the River. He
answered the summons, and there
safe within the mansions of eternal
bliss, far removed from the strife
and turmoil of this life he rests, we
hope, in peace.
Senator Miller, of Northampton
and Senator James of Luzerne, fol
lowed with appropriate remarks in
which Senator Rowland's admirable
personal characteristics as well as
his official fidelity were warmly
commended.
The resolutions were then passed
unanimously, and the memorial ses
