Vienna Letter in New York World
Vienna may well rival with the Gallo capital

ness of its press. Only week ago, when it was
heralded abroad that Lucas Jauner director of
the Lower Austrian Bank was defaulter in the
sum of 2, ,000 900 forins the public cursed him as
a wretch of the purest water, and the press held
him up to universal execraton, while his guilty
accomplice, Kufier, by some freak of good for
tune, was left almost unnoticed. In every beer

MEXICO, Jan. 6-The provisional freight
traffic of the Mexican Central railway, which ex
pired on the lst of January, has been extended
to March l. Merchants are making the strong
est efforts for the abolishment of differental
rates. They claim that the railroad company
makes cheap rates from points in the United
States to Mexico, for the purpose of developing
American exports, to the disadvantage of Mex
lean internal commerce. All the influence
possible is being brought to bear
on the Secretary of Public Works. to compel the
railroad company to accept arbitrary rates,
based on distance. At the recent meeting of the
Mercantile Confederation, resolutions were
adopted declaring the commerce of the country
would be killed unless the differential rates of
the Mexican Central railway were abolished,
and all goods ordered dispatched at frontier Gus
tom houses. instead of being permitted to come
in bond to Mexico. The movements prompted,
in great measure by the jealousy of European
merchants toward the increasing American
trade

SAN FRANCISCO JAM 6.-The Masonic Gene
terry Association has brought suit in the Superior
Court against ex-senator Sharon and others for
desecrating a grave during the Sharon divorce
trial. A witness testified that Miss Hall, the
plaintiff in the case, placed some of Sharon's
undergarments in newly-made grave.

Two THOUSAND DEAD.-Late reports
from Spain say that the whole southern por-
ton of the country has been shaken by earth
uuakes, which have followed one another in
Quick succession, each adding to the destruc-
ton wrought by its predecessor. So fast
did the shocks occur that the terror-strlcken
and bereaved inhabitants had no time to
recover from their fright, and little opportu-
nifty to search in safety for the bodies OF their
relatives and friends buried in the ruins OF
towns and villages. Beginning on Christ
mas Eve, the earthquakes chased each other
up and down the length of the Sierra Ne
vada mountains.
COTToN STATES.--In the cotton States
there are 197,OO0,000 acres of land in farms,
of which 81, 1850, 600 are improved. The cot
ton area actually titled was about a, ,OOO,0 600
acres in 1878. The crops now in tillege now
occupy about SO, 3,000 900 acres, the difference
representing the increase since the census
from which the above figures were taken
was made. The census value of farm pro-
ductions for this section is S547 ,O0O,O 900. Du-
ring the first four months of last year $4,-

army of the Mahdi, as there are some in all
parts of the world, and more especially in
many sOf the cities of Africa lying on the
Mediterranean Sea. Throughout Egypt in
it's entirety, and including the Soudan, or
Upper Egypt, there are many Arabs who
are influential but they do not constitute
the bulk of the population, any more than
does the influx of Teutons into the United
States entitle the aggregate people to be des-
ignated as Germans. Ahmed himself, the
Mahdi, is Nubian by birth, and is a pure
Ethiopian, as are the most of the inhabitants
Of that region. Dongola, the place of his
lukes, who escaped the scimeter of Mehemet
Ali, in 1911, but even if he came from this
class he would not be an Arab, as the Name
lukes were originally Mongols, Circassians,
or Georgians, and never Arabs.
The great majority of the residents of the
Soudan are negroes, and these compose the
larger portion of the armies of the Mahdi.
Kordotan has some Arabs among its ma
tives, but the principal residents as to num-
bers are negroes SEMINAR, the province in
which Khartoum is situated, has more
Arabs in it than all the rest of the Soudan,
but the bulk Of the population is composed
of negroes. The Nubians were originally
pure Africans, but by admixture with light
er races have become mulattoes. In addi-
tion to these, there are many wandering
tribes in the desert that are sometimes pure
Africans, unmixed descendants Of Ham,
and in other instances are a composite of
all the various peoples who have overrun
what is now known as Upper Egypt. There
is only unity on one point, and that is in
religion. All are followers of Islam, and
all of them are fanatical to the very last
degree. 1t is from all these diversified peo-
Piles, or tribes, that the Mahdi secures his
| fighting material. There are Arabs among
them, as there were Germans and Irish in
the national forces during our war, but in
neither case has the foreign element sufti-
cient dimensions to give it supremacy in

THE MAHDI AND HIS MEN.

Mahdi, or Mahadi, as D'Herbelot spells
it, is an ancient title in the Moslem world
which at first signifed simple director of
the faithful. But in the course of Moslem
history, and especially Mosem history in
Africa, it came to have another signiication
related to an accepted prophecy of Moham-
med. 1t necessarily refers to the African
part of Arabic history. BY this secondary
significance Of the word the Mahdi is GER
tain ancient leader come again. His ap-
pearance is the second advent Of prophet
who lived in the old days, and who in all the
meantime has been with the immortalS.
Mohammed, the twelfth Imam, and the
twelfth in descent from Ali, is the real Origi-
nal. lie is the Mahdi who comes again eV-
ery now and then. He was hidden from the
world at an early age, and communed only
with his disciples through his lifetime, and
finally did not die, but event up" with
the fixed intention of returning to revive
the glories of NIoslem. AS in the Christian
theory, and even in the history of several
monarchies, this legend of prince who. is
to return has afforded favorite preteXt for
no end of imposters, so it did in Islam. The
most famous Of these in past ages was Abul-
cassem MOhammed Ben Abdallah, the
founder of the Fatimite dynasty in Africa.
Mohammed had prophesied that in three
hundred years the sun would rise in the
west, and as Abulcassem's glory was in 29G
of the Hegira, it was held that the prophecy
referred to him, and since then the idea of
the Mahadi has commonly had relation to "a
revival Of the glories of Islam in that west
ern world of Moslemism, the provinces
of Africa held by the Arabs. Perhaps
we should not plume ourselves too much
over race Of men who are yet controlled
by vivid conviction that their leader was
born thousand years ago. We believe in
leaders whose claims to allegiance are equal
ly ridiculous.
1t is common in alluding to the armies of
the Mahdi to speak of them as Arabs. This
is the custom not only in this country, but
even in England, whose troops being on
the ground, and whose communication with
the Soudan being constant, should afford
them accurate knowledge of the country
and its inhabitants. An Arab is an inhabi-
tant of Arabia, and not native of the Sou
dan or any other foreign country. Nor
does the word Arab have any broad, gener-
ric significance which, like the word Mo-
hammedan, will permit its extension to
people of various nativities and religions.
There are probably many Arabs in the

ALWAYS A RIVER TO CROSS.
There's always river to cross;
Always an effort to make
If there's anything good to win,
Any rich prize to take.
Yonder's the fruit we crave,
Yonder the charming scene;
But deep and wide, with troubled tide,
Is the river that lies between.
For rougher the way that we take
The stouter the heart and the nerve,
The stones in our path we break,
Nor e'er from our impulse swerve.
For the glory we hope to win
Our labors we count no loss;
IT'S folly to pause and murmur because
Of the river we have to cross.

INDIVIDUALITY IN STATIONERY.-Nat-
urally enough every fashionable woman con-
siders her taste superior to that of others.
She wants to be characteristic, and con-
seuuently not only manipulates her pen as
no one else can and writes her letters crlss-
cross fashion, but adopts a certain style OF
paper and ink, and these she retains in
spite of the vagaries of designers and man
ufacturers This aiming at something to
give individuality to the stationery is Il
difficult task, since the regulation thing is
white, thick sheet of paper, cut to suit the
fancy and an envelope to match. No deco
ration whatever is tolerated by people OF
reputed good taste unless it be in the form
of some heraldic device or monogram, and
then the owner must have indisputable
claim to warrant its use. Aside from this
crest there is almost no possible way OF
throwing a Thomas Carlyle veil about the
possessions of Thomas Carlyle as did that
individual. Perfumery is admissible, but
there is danger of OVERRIDING the matter and
making the owner intrusive. Some people
have the habit of putting geranium-leaf or
modest violet in every letter they send,
and other eccentrics have made themselves
conspicuous by putting double postage on
the letters they write. There is but one
way to humor this fancy and achieve the
apparent individuality desired, and that is
to adopt certain kind or variety of letter.
paper and envelope and retain it through
all time. The idea is good one in many
respects; it has the advantage of economy
and it is somewhat indicative of stability.

aD~ Some speculative individual has pro-
mulgateda queer story about eyes, by which
one can be made to see without them. His
theory is to place piece of copper above
the tongue and one of zinc beneath it, and
then by closing the eyes and letting the
tips of the pieces of metal touch each 9th
er, flash of light can be detected. Inc
eyes do not see, but the sensation of seeing
is vivid one, and the impression thus
transmitted to the optic nerve and thence
to the brain, would with blind persons an
