GERMANY'S POLICY IN HELGOLAND
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPArcR.)

There are some persons in this world who
have a natural faculty of keeping their
names before the public. 1t may to some
be the result of accident, to others again it
is a matter of choice-they like it. Take
for instance the case of ''Max Freeman, -
the detective who has brought himself into
prominence as the alleged victim of a
deadly assault at the hands of Marsh, the
escaped Philadelphia defaulter. If, as it
is said, his real name is T. 81. Garside,
many will remember him as having been
much talked of several years since, but he
was then engaged in a much different voca-
tion or rather vocations, for the must have
had as many as the centipede has legs. He
is an Englishman by birth, and about 3S
years of age. He was clergyman when he
arrived on this side ten years since, and be-
came quite noted for sensational work in
New York among the poorer classes. He
achieved still more notoriety several years
later when he suddenly abandoned Chris
tianity and took to preaching materialism.
He then took up in rapid succession, as
they suited his purpose, socialism, anarch-
ism and labor agitation. In all of these he
kept himself in the public eye, being quoted
and interviewed time and again by the
press of New York and the syndicates.
1t may have been from jealousy, but there
were some who accused him of having little
genuine love for the cause Of labor, having
merely adopted it for the sake of notoriety.
1t was even asserted at one time that he had
hired man to club him and had pretended
to be poisoned in order to have himself
talked about, but the workmen who started
these stories were promptly expelled from
their respective orders and that ended the
matter. Will anyone dare to assert that he
submitted to the attack in the New Jersey
woods for effect? Hardly. If he did the
individual he hired to do the job must have
overdone it and hit "a leetle" too hard.
Savages of the Sahara.
Algeria, or the country to the south of 1t,
ought to feel proud of some of its natural
products. Not content with offering most
disastrous plague of locusts as one of its
attractions the present season, it has also on
hand an uprising of the fierce Touaregs, a
race of desert savages who have won special
distinction in the past as being even dirtier
than our own Digger Indians, in fact the
latter are models Of purity and cleanliness
in comparison with the Touaregs. Our
Digger is compelled to swim river every
two or three years in the course of his wan
derings, but the Touareg, living in the
desert of Sahara, neither crosses rivers nor
washes himself at any time.
These African savages are an awful lot,
and if they carry out their intention of raid
ing the northern settlements, there will be
bloody work, such as only these people can
do. At different times they butchered the
famous travellers Dourneau, Duperre,
Joubert, Flatters, Palat, Douls and Mile
Time They are conceded to be the greatest
enemies of civilization in existence; if it was
not for them, something would have been
done to improve the Sahara long before this
Triumph of Young Girl.
One evening during the past winter the
staid and dignifed members of the British
Association were wheedled into attending
meeting at which young girl named Menie
Muriel Dowie was to read paper on Car
pathia and its mountains, from which she
had just returned after a long sojourn.
I said "wheedled" into attending because
they one and all expected to be bored. But
before the paper was half finished they ad-
astonishment was beyond measure. Before
them was young person not quite out of
her teens; slender and graceful girl with a
refined and beautiful face, who had travelled
through awful wilds and dangers and had
been through country of which nobody
seemed to know anything worth talking
about. But Miss Dowie did, and she knew
how to talk about it, too, her attractive
style and manner of treating the subject
being universally and favorably commented
upon by the critics present. Since the oc-
casion mentioned and preparatory to max
ing another trip, the pretty traveller has
elaborated the short paper into good-sized
book, which has just been published, and it
is said to be every bit as entertaining and
instructive as her first effort.
Mocha Coffee Will Be Higher.
The Arabs of Yemen are in revolt, and as
a result we can look for Mocha coffee to 60
up higher comparatively than beefsteak
and potatoes dare think of going in this
eventful season of short purses and long
prices. Now there is a country, at present
in the power of wild barbarians, that has a
history older than Egypt or Chaldea. Some
$500 years before the Christian era It's peo-
pie were cultured and prosperous, and they
had a great trade in frankincense, myrrh
and costly balsams with all the known
world, for which it was and is still the most
noted place in existence. Under the rule of
Himyarites, Persians, Turks and Arabs it
has steadily fallen back instead of ad-
vancing until now it is an illustration of a
good country ''gone wrong"
Fay Temp1eton's Chase Over Seas.
A year or so ago Fay Templeton, the
actress, came back to America and was
Immediately the center of an admiring
throng of newspaper writer's, who inter-
viewed her on every conceivable subject.
The fair Fay or rather not as fair as she
used to be in days of yore, was willing to
talk and talk she did, covering every variety
of stage and personal gossip possible. And
vet after all, she never mentioned the real
cause of her incessant fitting to and fro be-
tween this country and England, the public
naturally taking it to be a matter of pro-
fessional engagements and not a very pro-
nounced personal affair as it turns out to be.
From England comes the story that when
the actress went to that country first in
1886 il was in pursuit of lover who had
fled from her. Failing to locate him she
played an important engagement in 'Monte
Cristo, Jr.," only to throw it up and fly to
this country, where she had heard her young
man was. Again the chase began, fortune
favoring first one then the other, until at
last a short time ago came the climax. The
fugitive's mother died, leaving him large
fortune subject to the condition that he
would never marry an actress. Three DAYS
before the will was read Miss Templeton
barped her quarry and married him with
out further ado. If she has been chasing
his future wealth she seems to have been
badly left after all. Every reader of The
DISPATCH knows the young husband is
