A ohIoagoan IN the soudan.

The victory Of the British at Suallim and
the difficulties which apparently yet stand in
their way In putting down tho rebellion in the
Soudan recalls the interesting fact that it was
o Chicagoan who was last In power for any
length Of time In interior Africa II. @. Prout
was young engineer engaged at Riverside
In 1871 After the great fire he went to Egypt,
became great personal friend of Gordon,
and rose rapidly In the khedive's service He
was with the army which conquered tho
Soudan, and was made finally governor gem
eral Of the provinces of the interior. With
his capital at Lado, far south Of where the
fighting Is now going on, he yet managed TO
hold his bwn, and his small force kept the
tribes in pretty good subjebtion Ho resigned
whom he found bis health failing, threw up
his Office and title, and returned to this coun-
try with such sum as he could collect from
the old khedive for his meritorious services.
He Is now the editorial head Of the Railroad
Gazette, In New York. He kept upin Africa

Mrs. Mackay, of California, Paris and
London, is said to be very intimate of late
with Isabella, ox-queen OF Spain. A good
story of the Mackay family has not until now
been told In print.
Mrs Mackay's mother and sister lived with
her some years ago in Paris, and from the
immense wealth of the head Of the family II
was supposed that the sister would come In
for considerable dot, and 1t was true that
Mackay had either invested for her or pre-
sented her with few hundred thousand dol
lars, more or less mere bagatelle In the
eyes Of the master Of millions, but very ap-
petizipg to the hungry Frenchman Of the old
regime
One day at the legation of the United
States dowager duchess Of the Oldest French
stock asked to see the American minister and
was ushered into his excellency's private
Offices Her. grace then explained that she
had come in behalf Of her son, the young
duke, to propose for the hand of Mrs
Mackay's sister. She had not the honor to
know Mrs MaclSny or her mother, and Of
course not the young lady, so she thought the
proper way was to come direct to the minis
ter. His excellency promised to convey her
proposals. which he did the Same day to
Mackay's mother-in-law. But the old Cali
fornian was not SO much elated at the pros
pect Of the alliance as doubtless the duchess
had very fondly anticipated; she asked the
minister to explain to the noble party that
her daughter was very poor, having no share
Of the Mackay fortune, and was only In
Europe to be educated for governess, and
as such she expected to earn her own living
The minister communicated bis message to
the duchess, who was disappointed but In no
way embarrassed She said that she had
been misinformed, and that Of course under
the circumstances her offer would not stand.
1t Is q purely business arrangement In her
eyes
The Young lady afterward married an Ital.
ian prince. but the preliminaries were not
settled by any envoy or ducal or princely
mother-in-law. The American girl acted on
her own behalf. Philadelphia Item.

PROHIBITION.

In his excellent letter published In
the catholic Standard of Philadelphia,
hisAirsce the Archbishop Ryan de-
ines his position, which is that NJ
the Catholic Church, on prohibition.
He says:
The liberty of Catholics to vote for
the measure will depend on the prin-
ciples on which they found their con-
vietions. Some of the principles urged
in the literature II prohibition, such
as the one that the use of spirituous
liquors, even as beverage, Is intrin-
sicslly wrong, and should he always
prohibited, can not be held by Catho-
lies. IL Is only the abuse, not the use,
that can be condemned If the use
ard abuse be inserarably connected
because OF the appetite created ly iG-
diligence in an individual case, then
he use itself should be pror'bited in
such a case. As he can not think that
this is true Of the whole state Of Penn
sylvania, and as we have strong re
strictive laws, and can enact still
stricter ones, he is unable to see The
need Of a constitutional amendment
on the subject. In any case he feels
that mere legislation can but regulate
overt acts, the external manifestation
Of the evil.
The true remedy must be found In
appeal to the individual conscience, rs
in our Catholic temperance societies,
which are also religious societies."
The idea that millions OF men who
take their glass Of beer two or three
times day with their hard earned
meals, orpss, an evening with their
friends oAer their beer and cigars.
should be deprived oft because a few
can not control their appetites is pre-
posterous.
Analysis shows that beer il healthy
aud contains large amount of nour
ishmeDt. One would want no better
evidence OF this fact than TO visit the
largest brewery in the world, the An
