Rhodesia Votes to Stand Alone.

The new South African State OF
Rhodesia, named in honor of Cecil.
RnoDEs, the empire builder, has just
passed through it's most important
election. The issue before the voters
was, Shall Rhodesia enter the Union
of South Africa as fifth province or
shall it stand as a self-governed
State? In the vigorously fought cam
paign strong appeal was made to
the Rhodesians to become a part of
the Union, favorable concessions were
promised by the Assembly at Cape
Town and General SHUTS took an ac-
tive interest in presenting the Unions
side of the controversy. Rhodesia,
however, decided to remain an inde-
pendent State.
The State of Rhodesia contains
an area greater than that Of France
and Germany combined. On the
south it joins Transvaal, the most
.1ortherly province of the Union, and
Ait is separated from the Indian Ocean
by Portuguese East Africa. The
white inhabitants, who are largely
of British origin, live in the southern
part of the country. They number
about $4,000 to perhaps 100000 of the
native African.
Despite the very attractive terms
offered by the Union the Rhodesians
believed that they had strong reasons
for wishing to retain separate iden-
tity. They opposed the idea of in
yolving Rhodesia in the bitter racial
differences which have always been
feature OF South African politics.
They objected to the bilingual system
OF education which would force upon
a people largely English speaking in
struction in the Dutch language, and
they feared that by joining the Union
they would be subjected to the risk
OF a greater political separation from
Great Britain than they wished. An
other argument against federation
was the fact that the Union had
public debt of almost $1,000, 900 900,
some share of which they might find
it necessary,to assume.
Great Britain has followed the
election with considerable interest.
1t might have pleased her better had
the result been otherwise, for a
strongly British Rhodesia would have
greatly strengthened the British 10y
alist party in the Union. The En-
pire, however, has in Rhodesis
land rich in agricultural and mineral
resources, with a great future and

anomaly, State without penny

Furniture and Life.

More than mere summary of what
the young nation was accomplishing
in decorating the houses of the period
is represented by the Duncan Phyfe
furniture on exhibition at the Met
ropolitan Museum of Art. 1t Is elo-
quent as a revelation of the ways
Of life and the taste of New York's
wealthy citizens in the early days
of the nineteenth century. The evo-
luton of PHYFE as an artist is said
by commentators TO be a result of
the great material prosperity of the
age in which he lived.
Wealth was rapidly increasing. The
homes on which merchants were ex-
pending part of their growing for
tunes demanded appropriate furnish
ings. Their owners naturally sought
the most famous cabinet maker of his
time. What a story is told by the
contrast between the simple outlines
of the pieces in the museum and the
f1orid, ornate specimens of domestic
art which are in demand to-day!
The life of New York when PHYFE
was at the height of his fame was
probably no more pretentious and
luxurious than this exquisite If self
contained cabinet work. The de-
signer undoubtedly meant to make
his sofas and chairs, his cabinets
and tables representative of all the
rich expansion of social life under
the genial influence Of prosperity. If
they fail with their sparing ornamen-
tation to do anything Of the kind
in the opinion of beholders to-day it
is because the fullest expression of
the new condition in our civilization
was impossible to the artist.
Even the wealthy citizens OF that
day did not seek to give true ex-
preston to the changing conditions
of existence. The most elegant type
of American furniture with which
they were familiar was the Colonial.
From this style PHYFE, in spite of his
Difference to English traditions, in re-
ality descended. Life was hard and
dour in the days that fixed the Colo
NAL tradition in decoration. With all
PuYFE's skill and. artistic taste he
could not make his work express the
spirit of careless wealth, abundance
and ease.
So the new houses of the present
day. costing many times as much
as those which interested the genius
Of this American pioneer, do not seek
his work. Its beauty is loudly praised
and its rare specimens bring high
prices from the few who appreciate
their beauty. The artificial elegance
of the eighteenth century in French
decoration or the painted glories of
the Italians, however, are most in
demand to-day. So great has been
the increase in material prosperity
and inevitably in luxury that the
simpler models of early American
decoration no longer satisfy the more
ambitious spirit of the day.

The Standard Oils Rent.
The Loss by Quarterly Payments in
Advance Reduced to S371,250.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: have
read the statement that the Standard
Oil Company would lose s6,50o.0o0 IN
ninety-nine years on the lease of the
Wells Building because it will have to
pay rent quarterly in advance instead OF
at the end OF the quarter.
I have calculated the loss II would
incur when payment OF the quarterly
rent of s62,50o is made at the first of
the quarter instead OF at the end of the
quarter and find that the company
would lose interest only on the s62.500
each quarter, which loss at the rate
of per cent. year would be ss37.50
quarterly. or $3.50 year. Multiply
ing $3,750 by the duration of the lease.

mails OF the World.

From the Rddto NetDS.
Among tho useful applications OF ra-
dio is one which presents much interest
for the astronomers It is the use Of
time signals for the comparison OF two
clocks located at a great distance from
each other. The location Of a certain
spot on the surface OF the earth necessi-
tates the measurement Of two astronom-
ical observations OF this particular spot,
the latitude and the longitude. The lat
ter is nothing else but the difference be-
tween the local time OF the spot and the
meridian Of origin at given distance.
A very complete study OF this partic-
uiar application OF radio has been made
in France and several measurements
have been already made since 1910 in
different parts of the world. This
method, which is now well known. allows
the astronomers and map makers to de-

New Ships.

There is a treinor ripples every tide
When first new ships slip outward to
the sea,
A sudden tremor born OF fear and pride.
A rising Joy that moves exultanty
From wave to wave-but strangles in
the clutch
OF unknown fear. when terror rides
the foam
And tides grow still. remembering the
touch
OF ships that went like these--and
come not home.
And there is wistful wonder in the way
New sails unfurl and flutter to the
wind
Looking beyond the haven Of their bay
To great unconquered oceans they
shall find
Yet poised half hesitant and dreaming
still
How straight and fine are green trees
on a hill.

Women have engaged in horse
breeding both here and abroad and
many OF them have found it a profit

inherited the famous Sledmere stud
in England, is perhaps the most sue

She owns a superb bunch OF mares
which are mated with the best sires
in England and the progeny go to the
Newmarket or Doncaster sales pad
docks as yearlings. One OF these
Sledmere yearlings was sold recently
for 9,f00 guineas at Doncaster to

for whom the American horseman

~4NN soo Sos tuot thS VA A never would be done if you didn't keep after the hired girl all the time, and I assume that you don't keep after her with kind words. In fact, I have heard you say to that languorous damsel that she isn't worth the coal oil 1t would take to blow her through the roof.
 T am partial to kind words, and use them whenever the signs seem right, but they don't always work out as they should. On my way home this evening, I stopped to witness a dog fight which was in progress in the middle of the street. A great crowd had assembled, and the street was damned. All the beauty and ehiyal- ry, fair women and brave men, were there. It is rather remarkable, when you come to think of it, that dog fight has a great fascination for our leading citizens. They wouldn't go ten feet out of their way to listen to a college glee club, or hear an elevat- ing lecture on the regeneration of the race, but they'll sprint ten blocks at the risk of apoplexy or heart failure to see couple of misguided bowwows chew each other up.
 Mfr. Junkman, the banker, was at my left hand in the crowd this eve ming. Everybody knows how polite and suave he is at ordinary times, but he was greatly incensed because he couldn't get good look at the wrangling pups. A man with a tall hat stood right in front of him. and shut off the view, and Mir. Junkman knocked his hat down over his ears, without a word of apology or explana- ton. Why is a dog fight thus ruin ous to our veneer of civilization?
 "A large man with truculent face, was right in front of me, and tapped him gently on the shoulder, and in- formed him in the most courteous terms, that he was standing on my foot and doing great injury to my favorite corn. Nobody could have broken the news to him more gently than I did. If kind words were what they are cracked up to be, the large man would have apologized and moved off. But he glowered at me in the manner of one who is willing to meet grief half way, and proceeded to argue the question. He said he wasn't stand ing on my foot, that I was labOring under a hallucination, and if, by any mischance, he was standing on my foot, it was because that foot was so large he couldn't do otherwise. And in any event, he finally inquired, what was I going to do about it?
 "I didn't see that l could do any thing worth while, for the man was as large as an ordinary cottage, and he seemed impatient for trouble. 1 was just explaining to him that I rather enjoyed having people stand on my feet, when the crowd shuff1ed around, and he was pushed to one side. In his new position, he was in front Of another citizen as large and danger ous looking as himself, and presently this second citizen took him by the ear, and twisted his head around, and said, Say, you big loafer, get of my footp
 ''The truculent gentleman hadn't a word of argument on this occasion. He squirmed away, and the second citizen gave him prod In the small of the back that made him groan, and he didn't indulge in so much as a reproachful look.
