CECIL J. RrlODES, The Lute Plunder of Cape Colony. OOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO() ! THE STORY IF II EH NW. $ Cecil Rhodes: AcUonliirer, Financier.

Tliey have just been iipnthooslzinK I)ttllel In Palis, on the two liundicdtli annivuisaiy of his bittli. At exactly the same time, In London, tlicj have been lookln askant at Cecil Kliodis, and admit ing him under piotcst. Yet the two men ilacd the same colossal frame. The one lost, and is dead. The other Is m inning, and is alive. ilust the Faying cjf tlie Piencher be considered, and a di ail lion be leckoned better than a live one not dog, but lion, too? For be feUie this oiing master of South Afiita Is ot the tine leonine type, and is ery much alhe, as two continents well know. Not a paiticulaily piomlsing cub at the beginning, though, nor pet haps s-elf-epectant of w hat has been attained. Twenty-odd yeais ago he was a we.ik 1 , slender lad, doomed to consumption If he tematned nt home In England. A few lounds at lawn tennis weal led lilin, and Oxlord studies told most ominously upon his vital loice. The diy ail of the South African uplands might save him; the one desperate chance. So he was taken from Oriel, his ionise lidlf-llnlsli-ed.and paiked off to the Cape, with his biothei to take care of him and to make money enough, In the mines or on the cattle plans, to pay the way of both, for they weie a poor man's sons. The air of Natal put new life into him, and v hen, soon af tei his ai i i al, the l ush to the blue eaith of Kimbeiley began, lie was stiong enough to join it. As an in dividual miner lie swung the pick and flngcied the ciumbllng "blue" for dia monds lie found them too, and won health and wealth togethei. In a sur pilsingly shoit time he had amassed a snug little foitune, seemed stoik in un tie eloped enteipiises of vast potential ity, and transfoimed himself Into u. biawny, robust athlete. Then, to the amazement of his envious comiades, he "cut" the diamond Holds and went home to finish his coui.se in Oxford. Hut it was only to finish his course. Ills degiee seemed "cum laude," too, foi he was a good student he hastened back to Kimbeiley. The various con cerns In which he was a stockholder weie paying handsomely, and the feer ot speculation was life, lie made his headquaiteis not at the mines, but nt the Diamond Exchange, and bought and sold and bought again the sluues of the mines, on a scale that bewlldeied and dismayed all competltois, and with a coolness of neive and sanity of judg ment that gave him almost unvaiylng success. Presently lie secured a ma joiity of the stock of the gieat De 13eeis mine, with $1,000,000 capital, leoigan ized Its woi kings so as to double its ptoflts; using It as a. basis, woiked upon the other piopeities until lie controlled them, too; and finally, some eight years bock, united them all, eveiy mine in the whole Kimbeiley region, in the great lie Beets Consolidated, with a capital of close to $1'0,000,000, and a yeatly lev enue that would goige many a loyal ex chequer. An Oxfoid graduate, a lnulti-milllon-nlio and the possessor of supeib phvsl cal health, and still far on the sunny aide of foity yeais, what moie had he to ask? The answ or was unmistakable, lie had as yet made only his prepaia tlons. The leal woik of his life was vet to be done, for which wealth, health and learning weie but tools. It Is an old stoiy, but worth again tepeating; chiefly because It dlffeis from many good stories in being true Soon after his letiiin from England with his Oriel sheepskin, he was standing one day in the olllco of a friend, a Klmbei ley din inond ineiclmnt. A huge map of Africa hung on the wall. Ho gazed at it at tentively, then laid his hand upon it, upon the great central region from the Capo to Zambesi, and even beyond to I-tike Tanganyika. "That oil that!" lie raid, -for England. That Is my dieam!" that is your dieam, Is it?" said his friend "VVoll, rii give you ten yeais to wake in!" Truly, the project soomed chimerical. The Hoe, h weie far moie likely to get the land; or the Portuguese, who al ready claimed it; or the Geinmns. who were laying hands on the Zanzibar coast, aiemoiles of Koike's DHft and I ll!"a ni" muUe """- UUtlHl, con. quests seem Impiactlcable. Hut this was a dreamer who would undertake with his own hands to make his dream wmf true', He went at the task Ml h complete faith, and in ex halls nf0nKa',0 ray '" w,1,oh- (1 lasls of a single mine, ho built un He great De Hee.a consolation. He be Kan wit h Capo Colony, thitherto a mass of jairlng, w airing factions; showed English and Dutch and all the rest that their Inteiests wero identical mado the whole colony united as one man, and himself the unchallenged leader. Then ho moved beyond the Oiange river, and beyond the Kala hari Desert, and took up all the land. To do this readily he formed a second "John company" on a prodigious scale. The Biltlsh South Africa company was pet Imps, In its composition, the most notewoithy of all these chnrtered com panies which have been the advance agents of Impel inl d'omiUn. Hostile clitics hae dcclaied It was made up of "Tory Jingoes and ionl Dukes." In deed, it had such In it. Hut it also had such men ot light and leading as Thom as Huxley, the Loid Kelvin, and Pio fessor Heniy Diummond, and such ul tia anti-Tories as Sir Chuiles Dllke, and ill. Conybeaie M. P., and Mr. Schnadhoist, the manager of the gieat Gladstone political "machine." Tiny qulies and Peeis, Kadlcal and Social ist politicians, Irish Home Ruleis, all united under the puissant leadeishlp of Cecil Rhodes to elfect the lealizatlon of his dieam. Nor could such an entei prise have had a moie fitting leader. In mental and physiia! equipment he was equal to eveiy lequiiement. He knew his Africa by poisonal expeiience as well u.s he knew his classics thiough Ox laid tiaiulng. He could "piospecf for gold or diamonds with the sinew est. Tie could palaver with the Kaffis or Mat abeles In their own bai batons tongue. He could Heat with the Hoeis with all their own stolidity. He could lead a company of cavalry of lillemen with the alor and skill of a piedestined conqueror And he could do it all with the tact of a boin diplomat and the pioutablo tin lft of a mustei financier. What wonder that he could hold a woild's fairnt Kimbeiley, build a lail road act ess the desolation of the Gieat Kairoo, pioject a telegiaph line from Cape Town to Alevandliu, and make Tanganyika the northern boundaij of Cape Colony' All that he has done, and has scaicel yet reached middle life. A ear ago some thought his sun was setting, down-stricken from the zenith. That was because of Jameson's tald into the Transvaal. Doubtless their judgment has now been lecon sldeted. How far ho was lesponslble for that perfoimance is yet a matter of dispute, on which moie light may presently be tlnown. On the face of the case theto is this one supeilativo teason for thinking he was not diiect ly inteiested In it; It failed. But It has given a new turn to his caieer; moie piobably an upward than a downwaid one. His comment on Jameson's con viction and sentence was chaiactotls tlc, one ot those self-lllumlnatie ut teiances of which only taciturn men of action ate capable. "What a tiib ute," he said, "to the moiul woith of the nation that has 'jumped' the world'" In that one sentence stand levealed the man's detestation of shams and hypoctisy and his appie clatlon of that open and above boaid aggiesslveness that has so often been the seciet of Biltlsh success Again, when timoious fi lends weie begging him to be dlscieet, and foes weie sav ing he daied not "face the music," lie nnsweied both, once and for all: "I am not going to lie about It!" No; and however awkwaid the facts, to vvhoin evei it may be, In the coming Inquisi tion we may he suie he will tell no lies. Other of his utterances aie reck oned indiscreet, as calculated to aiouse unnecessary antagonisms. Thus, he said the other day he was about to be tiled by the "unctuous lectltude" of his fellow-countiymen; a pluase that will stick all the moie suiely because an Knglishinnn coined It. So his sneer ing leference to Mr. Chamberluin, "Some gieat men cultivate oichlds!" seemed a foolish piovocation. Hut John Hull loves a good fighter, so long as he fights fair, and It may bo that these vuiy defiances will only Increase lespect for the bold champion who flings them down. Nor Is he rash and heedless, after all, us note a recent episode. It Is supposed that the tiump caid he hus In reserve to confound his enemies and vindicate his couise to waul the Transvaal Is pi oof that the Pietorla government has hVen Intrigu ing with Geimany, In contia'ventlon of Its obligations to England, nnd it Is pretty well known that he has in his possession some letteis and other docu ments to that effect which the Boots would not like to have' made public Some weeks ago theie was trouble with the Mutabeles In the Mutoppo Hills which his lieutenants could not settle. So up went Cecil Rhodes himself walked straight Into the hostile camp, squatted down in the chief's kraal, and In their own tongue talked straight forward eommon-seiiEe into the Insur gents, and speedily Induced them to disband their Impls and lettirn to ways of peace. Hut while he was on that mission his splendid country house of Giooto Schuur, at Rondebosch, was destroyed by file. How, who knows? Some say an accident. Some daikly hint that those incriminating docu commonly anxious for their destme- tloti, nnd that therefore Well, these suspicions wero csnveyoil to Mr. RhodoH on Ills i etui n ; whereupon ho smiled grimly, and patted the black leather sides of a bag ho had had with him all the time In the "Matoppo Hills. And he has now taken Hint bag to England; pel haps , pioscntly to bo opened. It was at the end of December that he leturned from the Matabelo countiy Ills piogiess from Dutb.in to Kltubor ley and from Kimbeiley to Cape Town wus a tilumplial match. At Cape Town Itself he was lecelved like a conquer ing heio, and wus gioeted by a great audience at the Dilll Hull, where, to an accompaniment ot thunder and llghnlng and hull, he mado a gieat farewell speech. Desperate effoits weie made to get up "anti-Rhodes" demon ntiations tluoughout the colony, but with little success. The English resi dents weie with him to a man, and so were the great majoiitv of the Dutch, who, f oi in the major part of the pop ulation It was made unmf!tnkably clear that, whatever intent Us his le ceptlon and his fate In England, he was ttusted, honored and admired in South Attica above all other men of the time. The figure of the man -Is, Indeed, nn Inspiilng one, seen In contemporary hlstoiy or In actual piesence If ou see him on hoisebnck, one of his favoiltes of all plnces, you see him lldlng like a contain, erect and firm, sae foi an Intent forward Inclination ol the mastlvo head. In his home oi In society you see a stalwart, unaffected man, plainly but fastidiously garbed, quite, couiteous but mnsterful in man ner The face Is that of a lion, or a bull dog, ot of a man whoso will is a law unto himself nnd unto all about him "Rhodes," said Chailes Ooidon to him one day, "you are one of thoe men who never approve anything unless It Is of their own doing." "Yes," leplled Rhodes, "I fancy that's tine" It Is tiue But then this man has pi actu ally done eveiy tiling he has had any thing 'to do with His blow Is that of a scholar, his figure that of an athlete, his voice that of an orator. His blue eyes loads you thiough and through, while his thin lips seem meant to shut In lather than to gle foith what thoughts are In his mind. Power Is the supieme chntacteilstie, both phys ical and mental. Pet haps the spliltual Is In abeyance, ot Is Inciting. Spliltu allty was not a striking Halt of Drake or Hastings or Cllve. If tills man ens in that lespect, he ens In lllustilous company, and not for a selfish mo tive. The Biltlsh Empire In South Africa is the cause to which he gives himself. Pei haps unconsciously but none the less suuly it was the Inspira tion of his eaily Oxfoid studies and his health seeking in Natal The con sciousness of it grew upon him when he began to glow ilch at Kimbeiley and when he finished his couise at Oiiel. It leached full conflimatiou when ho be came the "Diamond King" and Pi lino minister of Cape Colony. It is revealed to all the wot id, now tint he has car ried the Biltisli Hug and advanced the Biltlsh boi del line a thousind miles thiough one of the l idlest countiles on the globe His dieam is lealized. And In the veiy houi of Its teilUatlou ho is analgned to give an accounting of the means by which, In pait, that end was gained. It Is a cutious but not uncom mon turn ot fate, and It founs by no means the least Interesting episode in the caieor of this emplre-bullder who, above most otheis of the age, may fit tingly be deemed a man of destinj. THE ADVANCE OF WOMAN. From the Sun. The detailed tables of occupations Just issued from tho census office give some iii teiestlng facts in relation to the enti.ince of the Ameilean woman into vaiious blanches of trade and industiy, and also throw light upon hci udvent into the pio fessions. The totals of the occupation ta bles were published a year or two ago, and from these It was learned that the num bei of women engaged in the gainful oc cupations increased between IbiO and lbin) nearly 18 pei cent, while the number of men engaged lnci eased ahout S pei cent. During this peilod piofesslonal women ln ci eased 7j per cent , and those engaged in manufacturing and mechanical pursuits neaily 03 per cent, while in trade una tianspoitallon the Increase was 'Mi pel cent, and over, two nnd a half times as gieat as In lbSO. These were sti iking fig ures und nnturallj awakened cuilositj as to what particular professions trades, nnd Industries women selected as a means of eaining a livelihood. This information Is only Just at hand In a bulletin tiunsmltted at tho close of ld and recently given to the public. Bioadly speaking, It would appear that the American woman, like her Biltlsh kin beond tho sea, has taken a dip into eveiy occupation. The advance of woman has been complete, and, with the exception of the t'nlted Slates army and navy, there are no ulinks She labors In the field and dairy and tin hi-- as tanner, plantei and oversee! She f,cts foith In a boat and biaves tie wlm' and sea In fishing and drags the Led of the ocein for osteis. She may hi found In lumber camps, doing duty as wrodchoppet and lumbeimun, and even as o talisman gintle woman has tiled hi i l.unJ, and Is not afraid to own up to the lensiu man. With pick and d namlle she qunirlet stone and delves Into the earth In -eniih of the common mln eials and pieelous metals In the piotes slonal iv oild woman has made her appear ance In c.erv occupation save that of marshalling aimics and conducting war Her piog.es In professional life has been us maiked ur in tiade und Industiy. lleie we have I' eact and stamped with all the uuthoilty of the government ollicial: 1870. 1&S0.

This is not only a laie actual Ineieuse, but leluthely to the men the number of women is greater than In 1870, Tinn ing from this brilliant advent into pro fessional life, let us follow woman's pi og ress In what the dry tables of the census otilce geneially term "domestic and pio tesslonal service," Besides the old stand by occupations, lodglnr-house keepeis, laundresses, nuises, mldvvlvcs, nnd ser vnnts, we find the new woman pushing, Into heretofore unheal d-of piofesslons As a baiber, her dextious lingers lightly le move man's gilzzly beard. Nineteen wo men brave the wilds of foi est and moun tain as hunteis, tiappers, guides und scouts, while, more singular still, twenty eight evince no fear of ghosts and spirits In the somewhat mournful occupation of sextons, and seven times as many womn commune with other kind of spit Its as sa-loon-keepeis and ,bai tcmlus as In 1870. Theie are thite times us many women hotel-keepets as In 1870; neaily twenty times as many Jantorp, while entirely new occupations for .the gentle sex have been dlscoveied ns engineers and llremeu (not locomotive), and us watchmen, policemen, and detectives, under which last head "79 aiu leturned. It Is In tiade and tiansportntlon that wo man has made her tremendous lecoid be tween 1870 und 1890 Prom 1'J.SJS to L'L'S, 121 means that ovei 200,000 Intelligent.

As nookkeepeis. cieiks. tj pew liters, steno giuphtis, rashleis, telegiaph and tele phone opeiatois, women have found a pio tltable Held of labor und occiriatlon, for which they are us well qualified as men, 11 not bettei lu the lurgest class, bojit keepers, cluks, and salesmen, the in eieuse has been phenomenal, espeelillv lu tho ten ye.us ended In 1S9'J, from 10,000 In 1S70 to moie than 171,000 In 1890, and prob ably 200.0U0 today. As agents and collec tors the number of women Increased from only ninety-seven In 1S70 to -1,875 In 1890 Theie wpic live times ns many women re turned us merchants and dealers In 1890 us theie were In 1870, nnd over thhty times us many under the head of "nackeis and shlppeis" aggiegatlng In 1S90 CSL'O women. Piom 353 opeiutois in 1S70, women tide giaph and telephone opeintors InerenseJ to 8,471 in 1890, and piobably number a lound 10.COO now Meanwhile women seem to iluorish and Inqiuase nnd multiply ti idn nnd trnnsnortutiou as bankers and brolt eis, commeiclal trnvelleis, dairymen, hackmen and tenmsteis, as hostleis, huck sters und peddlers, weighers and gangers ns bank ofllclals, ns snllois, nnd In t.10 mellow atmosphere of.funei.ils us under takers, ns auctioneers, boatmen, und pilots women have met with nn success. 1'h'io nro fewer women uuctiononis now than in 1S70, fewer boatmen, while tho solitary woman pilot who occupied a vvholo line in the ponderous census vojumo of 1870 tinns up missing In 1S80 and lenppeuis like a lono star on the statistlcnl firmament of 1890. In mnnufacturing and mechanical pur suits women have found some new and Important Industiles between 1S70 und 1S90, and have not been slow In availing them selves of the opportun'fy thus afforded for breadvvlnnlng. There wero live times as man women bookbinders, nearly four times as many engaged In making boois and shoes, seven times as in my employed In box-making; cloi k and vuitch nuking gave emolojment in 1890 to neaily 5,i00 women, and in 1870 to only sivent-flv. The Increased demand fot confectioner of all kinds inci eased the number of wo men employed In that Indus'iy fiom C12 In 1870 to 5.C71 In 1890 About one-thlid was added to our cotton operatives The tte mendous Increase In dressing the women and children of the lepubllc may be studied In the fact that our at my of diestmnkors, milliners, und seamstresses multiplied moie than five times in the pe ilod named. Between 1870 and 1S90 moie than 100,000 women weto added The great development of our hat and hosleiy In dustry gave employment to over 25,000 mine women than In 1S70 The manufac ture of lace, emplolng 4,433 women In 1809, did not appear In the census of 1870 Thero were ten times ns mnny women photogmpheis In 1890 as In 1870 Our pot ter industiles gave new employment to nearly 2,000 women. The advent of women Into the business of pi luting and llthog tnphy hus been mniked, the number In ci easing from 1,501 in 1570 to 12 039 In 189(1 Our ropo and rubber factories have found emplojment foi no.ul 8,000 additional wo men operatives. Shiit, collar and cuff makers have Increased from 2.S12 in 1870 to 15,97 In 1890, while our silk mills tound new employment for from 20 000 to 23 000 women. An army of women has divided the tobacco and cigar lnduttrj, nnd the number thus emplojed bus Inci eased trom a little over 1,000 In 1870 to neaily 20D0 In 1890, a-'iet Increase of about 21,00) worm-n As a whole, the number of people engaged In nianufuctuilng and mechanical pursuits has Increased from 333,997 In 1S70 to 1,027.212 In IStO. This Is about a thiee-lold In crease. During tho samo period the total number of both sexes engaged ubout dou bled. In these Industries we llnd the Ameiiean woman literally taking u hand In nil binnehis. As a blacksmith, she piles tho hammer on the anvil, and makes tho spaiks fly. She binds books, makes bot tles, brews beer, and woiks In bilik nnd tile yaids. As a eontiuetor, she builds houses, nnd as plumbei und gas flttei pei founs the mot lnjtlcute and mystlljlng woik for the houi 1 holder She works in all tho metals, Including gold ami sllwi Sho cuts stone, las bilck, plasteis wulU, shingles your loot and tins the gutteis In tho cupncltj of whitewashes worn ill engages In the neilal occupation of white washing jour celling, while one woman letuins herself us engaged us a wtll-U'r-gci. Thus does the gentlei sex closely fol low man In tho conlllct of life Into on u patlonw that In the past have been looked upon as given over to the male sex A study of these llguies not only suggests the Intense light foi oxlstenco which hus been going on for the last quarter of a eentuiy, and has made it necessaiy foi the women of the family to do something for themtelvc, but It likewise bilngs out1. the fact that out women huve not been slow In taking advantage of oppoi tunitics nffoided foi u wider i.ange of employ ment. vIn lb70 theie weie l,83fi,2SS women employed In gainful occupations Today wo llnd 3,914,571, or moie than twice ns many.
