The remarkable series Of African fctions cur

cluded reports of SANKEY'S death, of his reap
pearance in the Nyam- Nyam country as the
mysterious White Pacha, Of his capture with
Emin at Lado, and of a complete victory over
the Mahdists at Dor, on the border of the Bahr-
el-Ghaze. All these sensational details have
been disproved save the last, and SANKEY'S own
narrative tends to discredit that marvellous
story Of conquest. While it is possible that
Emin during SANKEY'S absence took the field
against the Mahdsts, returned with his bat
talions to Lado, pressed forward to Dor and
completely routed the Mahdists there, the dis
tances to be traversed on the White Nile in
such campaign render the Arab account re-
Gently carried to Cairo unintelligible and i'm
probable. Stanley expected to find Emin at the
NyanZa during November. The wary Governor
Of the Equatorial Provinces may have been
drawn into a campaign against the MahdistS
in the North, but it is more reasonable to infer
that he kept his appointment at the lake and
reopened there his consultations with Stanley
respecting general retreat. Whether the ex-
plorer finally succeeded in convincing him that
| Gorion's fate inevitably awaited him at Wade
lai, and that motives of enlightened self-intereSt
| required him to abandon the Provinces to their
fate, will be known when trustworthy news OF
their arrival is received from Zanzibar. In the
interest of civilization ii is to be hoped that

the barbarism of the slave traffic. If he has
retreated the Mahdists will nave possession OF

FIRE AND WIND AT THE VEST.

South Dakota and Minnesota have been hav-
ing a new and distressing experience this week.
Both Of these States in common with other por-
tions Of the West have frequently suffered from
tonadoes and prairie fires. But we believe
that never before, certainly never to any ex-
tent, have they been called upon to endure both
Affections at the same time. The tornadoes
have not confined themselves 10 any particular
season, but the fires Of the past, which have
done serious damage, have occurred almost
without exception In the summer, when the
grasses were dry az finder. The snow SO lately
covered the territory which has been burned

possible for the fires TO make so great Roadway

mn BOOTHS ILLNESS.

The public will rejoice to learn the improve
ment in the condition Of Edwin Booth, and to
be assured that the first fears OF his friends
were exaggerated. There seems to be every
reason to believe that with few days rest, and
with proper regard for the limitations Of his
strength, he will soon be able to resume his
accustomed place upon our stage, which has
so long gladly acknowledged his supremacy
His full restoration to health will DO subject
for general congratulation.
Mr. Booth has for many years enjoyed not
only the intellectual homage due to an artist
of the highest rank, but also, in peculiar de-
gree, the affection and respect Of the American
public for those qualities in which the person
atty Of the actor, shining through the part he
is portrayiDg, attracts or repels the spectator
The actor is not a machine. Whether he will
or no. he conveys to his audiences an impressio on
of his own character which has vital connec-
ton with the relationship to be established be-
tween them. The many thousands who have
seen Mr.. Booth perform without ever having
come into personal contact with him, have yet
learned to recognize beneath the players mask
| a generous, gentle and sensitive nature simple
and direct, and free from the faint Of ati6ce
| or inslncenJy. Inc lOSs Vi NJ OJneI dotoC III
America, or perhaps in any country, would be
felt by so many as personal grief as that Of
| Edwin Booth.
His methods as an artist are those which
would grow naturally out Of his character as a
man. In an age when charlatanism and frivol'
| ity are far too prevalent upon the stage, and
the trickery OF management has been ele'
waited to science, Mr.. Booth. steadfastly main
tains the Hottest traditions Of his art. He fur.
nishes the purest intellectual pleasure to hun
dreds Of thousands of his countrymen, and en-
bodies for them the stateliest ideals of the
classic drama. Let us hope it will be many
years before he will cease to fulfil this usefu
and digniied function.
| The practical lesson to be drawn from this
incident is, that IL is easy for any man to over
tax his vitality. There seems to BIO genera
agreement that the attack was due to excessive
smoking. Mr.. Booth is in the prime Of Life
and In the plenitude Of his splendid powers
II Is not an exaggeration 10 say that no owes i
to his art not TO cut short career which ough
to stretch out into many more years Of actor

STINLFY IND EMIN.

SANKEY'S letter furnis hes definite basis for
conjectures respecting bis own march eastward
from Bonalya and Enlin's movements. The
explorer returned to the Congo Valley with
81 of his original foil overs, and was able to
muster only 81 recruits in the demoralized
camp. With the SO men whom he had left be-
hind at Fort Bodow he would have had col
men under his command remaining from tho
force of $40 men which had landed on tho
Aruwimi. This remnant which did not in
clude the escort of OIL men furnished by Emin,
would have suficed TO enable him to return to
the Nyanza. As he lwas familiar with the road
and the natives had become accustomed to the
passage Of his coumn Of porters, it is reasonable
to infer that he reached the Nyanza in eighty
two days, or about November II. Emin would
have expected him at that date and arrange
ments for meeting him at the lake would I'M
doubtedly have been made by Stanley's own
Iieutenants. The explorer confidently expected
to rejoin Emin on the Nyanza, where their plans
would be formed for future action. By the
middle Of November Emin must have decided
either to remain en- the Equatorial Provinces or
to retreat with Stanley to Zanzibar. If retreat
were the order Of the day it would not have
been necessary TO transport the Zanzibaris to
Wadelai. They, may have halted for season
at the Albert Nyanza, and then have marched
south and east to their own country by way Of
the southernmGst mission-staaon on the Vic
toria Nyanza.
There is littlb in Stanley's account of Emins
conversations with him to justify the conclusion
that general etreat from the Equatorial Prov
lnces followed This arrival at the Nyanza. Emin
had a force Of 1,4o0 well-disciplined troops
and abundant stores Of provisions and ammuni-
ton. He waH not anxious to go, but preferred
TO remain and protect the 10000 people who
had Loyalty supported him. He considered 1t

He had hundred Egyptians whom he wished
10 send away, since they interfered With hiS
work and excited jealousies among his black
officers. III Is probable that these disoontenbed
officials arid soldiers were allowed to depart
With Stanley early this year. But Emin him

4 REFoRM1ToRY FoR WoMEM


One Of the worthiest philanthropic measures
now pending in the Legislature provides for
reformatory for women between the ages OF
fifteen and thirty. That there is crying need
for the establishment Of such an institution is
attested by the fact that this measure not only
has the Endorsement Of the experienced MEM
bers of the Women's Prison Association. hut
of our leading judges. Recorder Smyth has
declared that we must have q reformatory for
women. Every day, almost, young girls are
arrested and brought before me, and | am
obliged to send them to States Prison, which
is sending them to certain ruin" These are
weighty words from a weighty source. Nothing
further is needed to provo that the welfare Of
society demands the passage OF such bill. 1t
is shocking to reflect that in the absence OF q
reformatOry erring young women who might
be reclaimed arc thrown into prison among the
thoroughly depraved, whose influence changes
them from bad to worse. punitive policy
under which 30 grave an injustice Is possible
is fatally defective. It encourages, rather than
restraints vice.
The House of Refuge for Women which has
been opened at Hudson is performing an ex-
cellent service, but it does not receive women
from either New Y ork or Kings County, nor has
il sufficient accommodations TO do so. The
reformatory which IL is proposed to build Is to
be modelled after the one at Hudson. II was
evident at the recent hearing on the bill that it
commended itself TO leading members Of tho
Legislature, and it is to BIO hoped that no
obstacle will be placed in the way of it's passage.

than two months ago. Stanley could not have
known whether or not Emin would accompany him
a day before his arrival OF the Eyanza. aud this
could not have occurred before the middle OF No
vember II he had dispatched courier at once TO
Tippoo lib, there would barely have been time for
the journey TO Stanley Falls by the end OF Feb
ruary. The Arab traders probably substituted
their own conjectures for positive information re-
specting Stanley and Emin, Still. it is possible
that the explorers were seen on the march in De-
cember or January, and that the news has como
from the region Of the Muta Nzige to the south OF
the Nysnza.
Subscriptions for the proposed Republican home
in this city are coming in steadily, but 1t would
be well for those who are expecting TO take
share in the enterprise TO remember that early
contributions are particularly valuable and
encouraging He gives twice who gives promptly
in such cases.
Mr.. Gillette was treated with too great liber-
atty by those newspapers which FASTENED 70 acqnit
him Of any share in the theatrical purloining Of
Robert Elsmcres after he announced that he
would not go on with his decentralization, In view
of Mrs. Wards protest, but chat it would be COM
pleted by another" Mr. Gillette's withdrawal
seems to be nominal rather than real He was
present at the first performance Of the play in
New-Haven, took notes for It's improvement, and
told reporter that he wrote only small part
Of IT," Mr. Gillette appears to be clearly an Access
sorry both before and after the fact, and bis pres
emit attitude Is the more TO be regretted because he
has won an enviable position among playwrights
by original work. As a rule, the authors Of the
present day, even among the dramatic writer's.
have shown themselves thoroughly loyal TO the
principle Of copyright and it is pity Dir. Gillette
should have allowed himself this lapse in literary
morals.

Statehood, she will be expected to abandon the

asked for, they win be far from being pleased
at the Interpretation rut upon the new law by
Judge Knapp; Of Hudson County. He holds that
Saloon-keepers who sell between quart and a
gallon of beer or liquor must have license, while
those who sell in smaller quantities as well as

means that they must pay $500 for two licenses
instead Of $3.50 for one. II this view prevails,
the Legislature will probably not be able to
