foot. In the police court this morn
ing, he plead guilty and paid fine of
1885. Judge Porter cautioned him
that he was fortunate in not losing
his money while asleep, and he adj
mitted that it would be lesson to
him.

ty, no matter how low or wet.

ems has cited Miss Edith Kinney to a
re-exa mination, in compliance with
the law, in order to revoke her certi-
ficate. Upon the advice of her at

trustees sustain her, the case is likely
to prove very interesting.
Clements & Hoerr are doing a
good business. Their storage rooms
are about perfect, having the new
cooling process. This process with
the piping was put in at much ex-
pense, and with it the firm has the

firm. The business of the concern is

Il IL religious fanaticism, madness,
under which q man makes up his mind to
kill any one he can until he himself Is killed.
Brought on by drink or religion or from
whatever cause, the process is the same.
The madman seizes his kriss and rushes
headlong down the street, cutting at
every one he meets. To any one who has
seen kriss or parang further detail Is
unnecessary.
A man running amok is a. q dog with
hydrophobia, but the panic caused by the
former is by far the worse. Like the mad
dog, the mad man is followed by q noisy
rabble, who, sooner or later, run into
their man and exterminate him. When
this vengeful rabble Is made up Of blood
thirsty Malays and Cinnamon, its wild
rage and fury is beyond control, beyond
description. The clamor and blood curd-
ling yells Of the pursuing crowd and the
ever nearing shout of "oran amok, oran
amok," is an incident which can never be
forgotten by any one who has seen or
heard II.
The bravest quails when, suddenly
turning the corner Of q street, his ears are
greeted with the cry of "oran amok,"
and few yards of he sees Malay run
ming straight at him, brandishing in his
hand the bloody kriss with which he has
already slaughtered all In his way. His
hair flowing behind him, his sarong
thrown away or torn OF in q struggle,
his naked chest reeking with blood, his
eyes protruding from his head and twice
their natural sire, coming toward you
with the rapidity OF a deer, every muscle
In his herculean little body swollen to it's
greatest tension, his kriss dripping with
blood, his eyes upon you, with dire hate
and determination cleaning from them,
down he comes upon you, the whole place
ringing with the cry of the ever-increas-
ing and avenging crowd behind him,
down upon you comes the "oran amoki
oran amokI''-All The Year Round.

soudanese troops.

The soudanese troops are vastly inter.
esting. These jet-bla creatures, re-
sembling amiable gorillas in face, of all
heights and only one thickness, narrow
hipped, n-chested, with no backs to
their heads and no calves TO their legs, are
liked and trusted by their officers to re-
markable extent. There is little OF the
Red Indian in them; they would not fire
into a sandhill or stand still to be cut
down. The Dervish is their oppressor
and natural enemy, and they only desire
the opportunity to "get at him" at as
close quarters AZ possible. They are
children In their love OF decoration and
their whims and their devotion to their
officers. They are savages in their dislike
OF discipline and their passionate impa-
tience Of restraint on the battlefield.
For this reason--to keep them back-they
have more English officers TO battalion
than Egyptian troops. They detest drill
and blank cartridge. They are entbusi-
asts over every rumor OF approaching
nght.-Coutemporary Review.
