the city pays the Sheriff twice as much for the

BRITISH POLICY ON TIE NILE.

Sir Charles Dilke's effort to explain the sud-
den transitions of British policy on the Nile is
neither ingenious nor successful. He says that
the Government were anxious to send General
Gordon 10 the SOudan several months ago, but
that neither he nor the British Representatives
at Cairo, nor the Egyptian Ministry, would con-
sent to it. Now, General Gordon is an officer of
the English army, and is subject at all times to
the orders of the War Office. IL he had been
directed several months ago to 20 to KhartOum,
he would have Obcyed his instructions. The
British representatives at Cairo would not have
hestated to carry out any orders received from
London, although they might have argued
against them, if their opinion had been asked.
As for the Egyptian Ministers, they would not
have attempted to resist direct pressure from
the British Foreign Office. II the Gladstone
Ministry had been ready to send General Cor
don to the Soudan several months ago, hc would
have gone. Sir Evelyn Barring and Sir Evelyn
Wood would have welcomed him at Cairo and
Tewlik would have appointed him Governor
General of the African Empire of the Upper
Nile The British Government at that time
were not prepared to take this step or to adopt
any definite policy with reference TO the
Soudan. They were adrift at khartOum pre-
cisely as they had been at Cairo and Alexandria
two years before. While there may have been
some discussion in Cabinet councils over Cen
cral GOrdon's fitness for command in that quar-
er, his appointment was not seriously consid
cred until last week. when it was rendered
necessary by public opinion in England.

They coached" the Khedive in constitutional
studies and gave a great deal Of good advice to

o her white lady.hp Is that Of shorald. II Is be-

to her white ladyship Is that Of aherad. 10 Is be-
lieved by the German people that she never comes
for any other purpose than to announce or Indicate
the approaching death Of some member OF the In
perial family. The case Is not exceptional, the
practice Of keeping spiritual retainers being quite
venerable among the aristocraoy OF Europe. Pre-
sumably IL originated In the idea that member OF
noble family ought not to pass away without Gre
ating sensible commotion both In the sensual and
the supra-sensual spheres, and at q time when
everybody believed everything particularly IL IL
were marvellous, the common people gladly ac-
cepted all such legends about their superiOrs in
rank.
Perhaps the most interesting feature Of the case
at present is that the rumored appearance of the
"White Lady" is thought worthy of general
announcement, for no other reason, apparently,
than because the Imperial family Of Germany is
concerned. Even in sceptical age the fascination
of rank and position thus lends respectabiGty, II
not credibihty, to legend which would almost
certainly be dismissed with contemptuous ridicule,
If related concerning some unknown and insignih-
can't person or family. Just so last year
the legendary drummer Of the House Of
Airle obtained respectful reception In
England, and gave to a renewed discussion OF the
supernatural q gravity and soberness which no less
aristocratc auspices could have secured for the
topic. The fact is that, in Europe at least, many
people still, unconsclously to themselves, hold in
vague way that old and noble families have kind
Of prescriptive right to these picturesque connec-
tions with the other world. The Sprltualists of
course, claim that tho appearance of the " White
Lady" is merely an illustration of a well estab-
lished and quite common class OF phenomena. The
Society for Psychical Research, however ought to
avail itself of good opportunity to investigate
That the members Of the HOhenzOllern family
themselves believe in the "White Lady " has been
positively asserted aud it is by improbable.
The Importance attached to the llegedsupernatural
occurrence by the German people must be at
tnbuted rather to their respect for tho Imperial
family aud their natural anxiety about tho En-
peror's health than to a widespread belief In the
reality of the phenomenon.

AN ADTROND4CK HOSPITAL.

The remarkable effect of the climate Of the
Adirondack wilderness in certain forms of pulmon-
ary disease has led some benevolent persons TO
undertake a charitable scheme which, so far as we
know, is unique. This is the establishment Of a
sanitary settlement near Saranao Lake for the
benefit of patients who cannot afford the usual life
in hotels camps. The movement is under the
charge Of DR.. E. L. Trudeau, who has long been
identified with what is sometimes called the
Adirondack cure" and whose personal qualities and
professional ability are held IN the highest regard
both in the metropolis and by tourists and inyalds
visiting the region in which he is the general friend
and guardian. The plan is to buy farm near
Saranac Lake, enlarge the farmhouse by the
addition of a sitting and dining room,
and build and furnish fifteen cheap cottages
for patients, 50 that the inmates can live
separately meeting only for meals and, when
they choose, for social intercourse. The farm
would maintain from six to ten cows, besides
Welding vegetable products for the support Of the
institution and good deal of the farm labor could
be done by patents Physicians trustees treasurer,
etc. have offered their services gratuit0usly, and
the only OUTLAY for salaries, wages, etc, would be
on manual labor about the farm and buildings.
1t Is not every consumptive patient who is likely to
be benefited hy a residence IN the AdirOndaekS and
the duty of examining applicants for admission to

tion IN operation, is estimated AT only $500, and

the rest of the fund will soon be contributed, so
that this novel and promising charity may be
started in the Spring.

md Darfour The British Government advised
him through their agents not to send Hickss
army against the False Prophet. They did not
speak with decision and authority, and accord
ingly he paid no heed to their counsel 1hey
secretly hoped that the False Prophet wouid Do
defeated, and the Soudan question be held III
apeyance until the British garrisons could with
draw from the Nile. When Hiclls's army was
massacred the evacuation of Cairo became I'M
practicable. The British Government had to
decide at once what should be the frontier
which their troops were to defend. They drew
tho line at Assouan, gave peremptory orders Tor
the withdrawal Of the Egyptian garrisons from
the Soudan, and compelled tho khedlYe to
choose Ministers who would agree to carry out
the English policy. Up to this moment there
had been no intention of engaging General
Gordon. He was negotiating with the King or
the Begians for employment on the Congo,
and the Horse Guards were threatening to force
him to resign his commission. Suddenly the
Ministers discovered that the policy which they
had forced upon the Khedive was utterly i'm
practicable. The Egyptian garrisons could not
get out of the Soudan Apparently series OF
massacres was impending. A strong man was
imperatively needed General Gordon was
ordered to KhartOum.
Sir Charles Dixie now declares that the Gov
ernment have great confidence in General Cor
dons advice. That advice, however, is not re-
stricted to the abandonment of the provinces OF

cally reversal of the policy which only fort
night before had been crammed down the
Khedive's throat.
