PreparationG Under "Way—Flags Half
hfasted Everywhere.
Cape Town, March 27.—The prepa
rations for the state funeral of Cecil
Rhodes, which will take ’place here
April 2. are alrea ly in progress. Flags
are half-masted everywhere.
Those who attended the sick bii
say Mr. Fihodes continually sorrowed
over the fact that he left so much un
accomplished. “So little done; so
much to do.“'was an expression which
he used more than once.
During Mr. Rhodes' illness all kinds
of novel means were utilized to coun
teract the trying heat. Boxes of ice
were let into the roof of the seaside
cottage at Muizonberg, where he died
yesterday; punkas were continually
kept in motion and extra windows
were cut in the walls.
Deepest Black Displayed In London.
London, March 27.—The Rhodesian
section of the colonial exhibition at
the Royal Exchange has been draped
in black. Numerous expressions oi re
gret and condolence have been cabled
by members of the stock exchange
and others interested in South Africa.
After a slight hesitation at the open
ing of the stock exchange the tone of
KatTirs was distinctly firmer, showing
that Mr. Rhodes' death had been dis
counted.

report, says Tb World’s London cor-
respomb-nt, that Cecil Rhodes left a
political testament dealing with the
war and the future of South Africa,
but that owing to its severe criticisms
of the imperial government its publi

(Correspondence ot The Ledger.)
Bonham, Tex , March 27, 1902 —
Attention f x-Confederates and friends
of Gaffney and vicinity! I would ad
vise after reaching Texarkana to, buy
your tickets over the trans-conti
nental of the Texas Pacific railroad i y
way of Paris and Bonham to Sher
man, down Texas Central by McKin
ney to Dallas. This route will give
you a fine view of some of Texas’ mo-t
magnificent farming lands. It will
be a prairie route. If you go over the
main line of the Texas and Pacific
railroad from Texarkana to Dallas by
way of Marshall it will be timbered
sandy land most of the way. Each
of these roads belongs to the Texas
and Pacific, one designated as the
main line, the other trans-continental
to F «rt Worth where they again be-
come one line westward bound. Hop
ing many of the old hoys may come
to Dallas to the reunion and take a
birds eye view of the Empire State of
this union, b>r an opportunity lik -
this wiil never ‘offer its'-if again to
many of the old iron gray boys.

the trial establishes the'-charge that

'rdignrtion at Cebay In Execution cf
Sheriff Picker's S'ayer.
Omaha, Neb., March 27.—A special
to The Bee from Casper, Wy., says:
General indignation is felt on all sides
on account of the delay of the execu
tion of Charles Woodward, convi* t-
ed of th** murder of Sheriff Picker.
T!;* 1 most conservative peo.de believe
he wiil not be lynched, but others de
clare he will be taken from jail Friday
night and hanged on the gallows that
had been prepared for his legal exe
cution.
Casper is filling up with people who
came in to witness the legal hanging
of the man. not knowing that the su
preme court had granted a stay of ex
ecution, and many of them express the
opinion that there will be no delay.
Woodward is extremely happy over
the action of the supreme court, for
he believes he has several years yet
to live.

that bespeaks clothes character. The styles are original

gives them a high class merchant tailor effect.
r I here is a great deal more satisfaction in selecting
your spring suit from our stock than in going to a mer-
chant tailor, because we not only show vou live times as
many styles, but you see the suit, made up, ready to
put on. When you go to a tailor you select a fabric
and nine times out of ten it does not make up as you
anticipate, but its to your order and you take it.
