He went to South Africa in the early days of the disco. of the Kimberley mines, made the acquaintance of the late Cecil Rhodes and became his warm friend and confidant. The young Scotch doctor soon developed into a South African diplomat, went alone on a mission to King Lobengula of Matabeleland, in behalf of Mr. Rhodes’ British South Africa company and persuaded the warrior chief, in exchange for a few firearms and other truck to permit the companyto settle his country, exploit his gold mines, and so on, Fort Salisbury was soon established in Matabeleland, and then came the Matabele war, in which the native wasriors were mowed down in thousands by rapid-fire guns. Cecil Rhodes, who was premier of Cape Colony when Jameson started on his raid into the Transvaal, exclaimed that “Jim” had “upset the cart,” and resigned the premiership, but never blamed his friend. Dr. Jameson, on the resignation of Sir John Gordon Sprigg, the premier of Cape Colony, in February, 1904, was called upon to form a new cabinet. He has held the premiership ever since, and, in addition, has served as a director of the De Beers Diamond Mining company and of the Briish South Afri April 1.

MacLennan, chief of the bookkeeping and warrants division of the treasury department, is the man who keeps track of the public debt. This debt amounts to the enormous sum of $2,467,869,991, including gold certificates and United States treasury notes, which are offset by an equal amount of cash in the treasury. While Mr. MacLennan does not actually have possession of this vast sum, every cent that the United States treasury receives from internal revenue customs and other sources is turned over to him, and the cash is sent to the United States treasurer, who is under heavy bond to secure the \ government against loss. Every dollar that is disbursed by the government is disposed of by Mr. NI MacLennan, by means of warrants. Mr. MacLennan has a marvelous mind for figures. He has been consulted, during his 30 years of service, by Presidents Garfield, Arthur, Harrison, Cleveland and Roosevelt, and every secretary of the treasury has depended on him to a large extent. He is a native of New York and went to Washingtonfirst to take a position in the Freedmen’'s bureau. He began his service in the treasury as a clerk. His work soon attracted the attention of his superiors and his promotion was rapid. He praetically organized his division, which is one of the best equipped bureaus of the government. His books are exhibited to-day as models of artistic penmanship, beauty and accuracy. One of his chief duties is to prepare the annual estimates of expeditures of the government which are submitted to congress by the secretary of the treasury at the beginning of each session of congress as a basis for the appropriations Mr. MacLennan is the most modest man in the employ of the government. He positively refuses to talk about his duties, his accomplishments op his homelife. He lives in the fashionable northwestern district of the city, but fs in no sense a society man. He is 60 years of age, éf medium height has deep blue eyes and wears a mustache and whiskers, which are tinged with gray. Serveral times a position as assistant secretary of the treasury has been offered to him, but he has declined, preferring to remain at his present post FAVORS LIMITED MARRIAGE George Meredith, the English novelist, who has just celebrated his eightieth birthday, is one of the best examples of pertinacity. Early in life he determined to becomea literary man, and he was only 23 when hepublished his first volume of poems. They attracted practically no attention, but the author kept on, turning out both poetry | and prose until, after more than 30 years hard work, the public was forced to recognize hig genius. It was his novel “Diana of the Crossways,” that made him famous. It was published in 1885, just 34 years after his first book. Then people began to read his earlier woiks, of which there were 14. Since then Meredith has been turning out about one book a year until 1897, when he dropped his work almost entirely. On his seventieth anniversary he was presented with a letter of appreciation signed by 30 of the leading literary men and women of the United Kingdom. On his eightieth birthday there were over 100 signatures to the letter sent him. It was in book form, handsomely bound, and the novelists, poets and scholar whose names were not attached to it did not belong to the first class. It was a tribute from his fellow workers such as is sel@)m paid to an author. Meredith scandalized the world a little over three years ago by declar ing in favor of limited marriage. In a sensational interview he predicted a state of society permitting marriages for certain limited periods, the state enforcing a provision of money during that period to provide for and educate children, the government possibly taking charge of this fund. Mr. Meredith is a widower and has a son and a daughter. He is a great reader, especially of French literature. He used to be fond of long walks. He lives at Boxhill, Surrey. His studio is a two-roomed chalet in the higher part of the grounds surrounding his house, telling, there are grains of historical Patrick from the fact, such as names of persons and places, records of ancient customs and used the trefoil to illustrate the doctrine of the Trinity. It is interesting to know that the Arabic name for the trefoil’ is “shamrakh,” and that it js held sacred in Iran as emblematical of the Persian triads. Pliny comments on the fact that serpents are never other hints, that throw light on Patrick’s real work. He lived 31 years in Ireland and founded many churches, made the nation Christian as a whole and brought Ireland into connection | with the Roman empire, making it a | part of Christendomand civilization. There were Christian communities before he came, but without him these ] might have died out. He brought ma | terial benefits as well as_ spirituai, for he diffused a knowledge of Latin and thus put Ireland in touch with the world's letters aud arts day on which he found near the trefoil leaf The course of St. Patrick through Treland, England, Scotland and Wales may be traced by the existence of places named after him.
