fruit venders near by was complain
ing about the poor quality of barrel

apples were.
The man who sold them was non

came smiling to his rescue by remark
ing:
You made a mistake, sir. in open

you had begun at the other end you

A Meeea cararan selzed br Arab..

Hag Ahmet-el-Assal, a pilgrim lately
returned from the Mecca pilgrimage,
has been narrating the terrible expe-
riences of his party to the editor of a ma
tive Egyptian paper called The Mokat-
tam. The Pilgrim, whose respectability
is youched for, we are told, by an Egyp-
tian sheik who is greatly respected in
Cairo, declares that on returning from
Mecca. the "raflat," or detachment of
the caravan to which he belonged, and
which was composed Of about 700 cam
els, left Bir-Said at daybreak and halted
at sunset at the foot of a mountain, on
the road to Yamboo.
A few minutes after arriving there the
rafilat, composed Of men, women and
children, found themselves attacked by
Bedouins of the desert, who attacked
them with the utmost savagery, Staying
and manning the men of the party. The
hot, dry sand was wet with blood. Some
Of the women. after being robbed of their
clothes and yaluables, were left to their
fate. The younger and better looking
ones were carried off as slaves. With
great difficulty the narrator Of these facts
escaped with his life.
The poor pilgrims SO cruelty outraged
had actually paid 8 piasters each and 20
piasters each for their camels to the gov
ernor Of Medina TO secure his protection
against the Bedouins. The conclusion
drawn by the Egyptian paper is that the
Ottoman government is not really mas
ter Of Arabia, but that it leaves the
sheiks absolutely free to rob and plum
der, provided they profess a nominal al
legiance. e.-London News.

servants obedient, the household bills
reduced by half and the whole estab-
lishment worked with clocklike regular

REST ISLANDS DOOM.

St Paul, Sept. 23.-John G. Woolley's
magnificent and much-adrertised 'Rest
Island" scheme for the cure of inebriates
seems bound to come to nm inglorious
end. and as u matter of fact, it has
never amounted to much, except in the
amount of contributions received. The
contributors discovered some time ago
that the Rest Island property was not in
the name of the association as promised
by Mr.. Woolley, but in the name of Mrs.
Mary Woolley. wife of John G. Wooley,
1t had previously been transferred to
Louis +. Menage. There was also gen.
eral complaint concerning an accounting
of the funds received by Mr.. 'Woolley,
who ran up debts right and left. He
owes Il number of Lake City parties. and
has repeatedly broken his promises to
square things up. The suspicious have
been so generally aroused that the sup:
porters of MIR. Woolley have been grad
ually withdrawing from his support, and
the contributors have placed their case in
the hands of an attorney. Capt. r. y.
Moore of Lake City. That gentleman de-
clureS that they can bring suit for the
appointment of il receiver and an equit-
able division of the property.
