that Dongola had been taken because it
was on the route to Khartoum, which
place must be eventually taken from the
deryishes, and that it was the intention
of the British Government to reconquer
the Soudan for Egypt. From the day
preparations for the organization Of the

words "for Egypt" are calculated to pro-
yoke a very broad smile.
What's Egypt's on the Dark Continent
IS Great Britain's, and what is Great
Rritain's is her own. After the recon-
quest of the Soudan will commence the
work of pacfication. just as after the
occupation Of Egypt commenced the con-
tinuing work Of reorganization and
protection. "Pacihcation." as applied TO
the Soudan. will be found a broad term
as broad as have been the terms "reor-
ganization' and protection" az applied

MIR. pmrLLups's MARROW ESCAPE.

Mr.. Arthur Phillips, one OF Church

dane sphere. IL fortune hadn't smiled
on him yesterday. he would have been
ground TO death beneath the ponderous
wheels Of a massive locomotive. and mis-
abode would have been among the angels.
Instead OF with the more prosaic and
less picturesque residents of this perish
able planet

about twenty-five winters. and - like
number Of summers, is employed by the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company
as yard clerk at the Nintn-Street De-
pot. He Is an Industrious young man.
and doesn't let anything short or To-
connective interfere with his duties One
Of his duties is to record the numbers OF
the cars on the yard. and this he was
engaged h doing about | o'clock yester-
day afternoon. when Father Time slash
ed at him with his reaper and--missed
him
Mr.. Phillips went out on the connection
track at the corner Of Ninth and BYRD
streets. and stood there writing num-
bers i'm his book, totally oblivious Of the
danger that threatened him. A heavy
engine, pulling a train of about thirty
five loaded freight-carS, came thunder
ing down the grade under heavy head
of steam. The engineer didn't see Mr..
Phillips. and Mr.. Phillips neither saw
nor heard the train. The iagman at
the crossing saw both, though and he
holered himself hoarse in attempting
to warn the yard-clerk Of his danger.
His screams availed naught, and the
massive engine crashed down upon the
busy young man. Then IL was that his
guardian angel reached out her saving
hand and robbed Father Time Of vic
tim. The plot-guard struck Mr.. Phillips
squarely i'm the back and he was thrown
clear off of the track and into ditch
on the side thereof.
The engineer, seeing the flying figure.
thought, of course, the young man had
been killed. and he blew his whistle
loudly for brakes No sooner did the
shrill blast smte the atmosphere than
Mr.. Phillips sprdng to his feet, unhurt,
and scampered off. The engineer heaved
a sigh of relief. muttered something be-
meath his breath, pulled his throttle open
once more. and the train moved off; Mr..
Phillips heaved two or three signs OF
relief, whispered a prayer of thanks
giving. pulled. himself together. and
moved off about his work. whilef the
crowd that had quickly gathered eX-
pressed the unanimous opinion that his
escape from a fearful death bordered on
the miraculous.

Albert Chevalier the singer of coster

then. from time TO time. have come sto-
ries OF this peculiar denizen OF the East
End of London. and more or less ro-

MN. rAyrRwEArHER's WILL.

- Notwithstanding the decision OF the New
York Court Of Appeals In the celebrated
Fayerweather will case, the New YORK
Tribune gives the educational benehciaries
under the instrument very cold comfort
The will has been in the courts TOT hVe
years. and the litigation has been such
as 10 enable large number Oh lawyers
TO get into the case. At every term Oh
the proceedings almost substaniiai al
lowances have been made to couhsei Oh
all sides, and although the court oeciues
that the institutions to which the testa'or
intended the fund 10 go are entitled 10
what is left Of II. further LIBERAL pioVis'oh
,s made. TO use the Tribunes words. Tor
all the lawyers OF all the parties VINO
found an excuse for being represented py
separate counsel"
But this IS not the worst OF II. Our New
York contemporary is OF opinion That 'he
educational institutions interested are stun
very far from realizing what remains al
ter "the pickings." 1t points out that the
famous fourth codicil, which was sup
planted by the one the court has ordered
to be respected. and which was after
wards burned, still has strong parusans
and that these partisans wish 10 force the
secret of it's contents, and are threatening
further litigation. That able legal talent
and much of IT. can be found to assist IN
the effort to enlighten the public as to the
mysteries OF the fourth codicil, the TIL
bune has no doubt. and II therefore con-
slders that another five years tie-up OF
the estate is not at all improbable.
The moral of all this. as the Tribune
suggests, is that men like Mr. Fayer-
weather. who intend to help educational
or charitable Institutions. would better ac-
compIIsh that work while they are living.
And we agree heartily with the Tribune
on this point. In these days the only alb
solutely safe will is the viii OF the man
who has nothing to leave. In cases where
there we're good pickings. modern law
in has succeeded in knocking into a
cooked hat the wills Of some of the very
best of lawyers The only security men
have that money they intend for pubic
institutions will reach its destination ues
in giving it TO the institutions out OF
hand while they are still in the land OF
the living. Even then. I'm some cases. II
would be better to keep very quiet about
the matter and make the gifts before an
nouncing the intention lest their heirs-at-
law or some other sort Of heirs discover
in them a faint of hereditary insanity, or
an imbecility that has rendered them pc
culiary susceptible to undue influence

it, to be few in the hill.
