Ex-Goy. Rich for Collector at Detroit.

Ex-Gov John T. Rich has been ten
dered tho collectorship of the port of
Detroit, and has accepted the place.
There are much politics behind this
simple statement. State Senator VIM.
G.. Thompson. of Detroit, was for two
months the leading candidate for the
position, but the fight of the Pingree
element against the reelection of SEN
ator Burrows necessitated a different
arrangement Ex-State Senator Nc
Laughlin was talked of for the office,
but the plum really hung between Mr..
Rich and George l.. Maltz. 1t SO hap
pened that eX-Gov. Rich and Albeit
Pack were the most promising men to
be placed against Genator Burrows
when he comes up for reelection, and
it is also true that Mr.. Maltz is the
father-in-law of Mr.. Pack. 1t does not
require an extra shrewd politician to
see that if Senators Mcmillan and Bur-
rows secured the appointment of Mr..
Rich that it would completely sidetrack
his ambition to the senatorship and
he could not then well oppose Senator
Burrows. 1t is also surmised that SEN
ator Mcmillan saw that if Senator Bur-
rows was turned down by the next
Legislature that his (McMillan's chances
for similar dose might be multiplied
by the precedent established 1t is be-
lieved Senator Mcmillan thought that
Rich would be the more dangerous SEN
atorial candidate of the two anyway,
and consequently a more powerful ally
after his appointment, and so the odds
were in his favor.

Grove Wolcott, prominent lawyer
of Jackson sought to purchase a 1000
mile ticket at the Jackson ticket office,
good for himself and wife, he rendering
$50 in payment. He was informed
that no such tickets were for sale. Mr.
Wolcott then bought and paid full
price for a regular ticket to Roscom-
mon, and on his return brought suit
against the Michigan Central railroad
to test the state law. The case was
tried before Justice Woods and has re-
suited in a verdict for Wolcott, who
was awarded S255, the difference in
the cost of the ticket he purchased and
the rate at . cents mile. The Mlchi-
gan Central will appeal.

It is only logical that the tramp who
starts out simply to enjoy idleness
should gradually and almost insensibly
degenerate into theft and thence TO
burglary. The dividing line between
begging a living and stealing living,
and also between petty theft and petty
burglary that always endangers the
comfort OF families and at times their
lives is 50 narrow that the transition
from the tramp to the burglar is hard
ly perceptible to himself, and the only
way to halt the professional tramp is
TO punish to the utmost the crimes his
calling logically leads him to commit

and the guns; the gunners had cut their read. and levelled the breach, and tugged the first gate off it's hinges. On: we must ba coming to 1t now. We were quite close upon the towering shell-tOrn skeleton of the Mahdi's tomb. The way broadened to a square. But the sun had some time struck level into cur eyes; he went down; in ten minutes it would be dark Now or never! Here we were, opposite the tomb; to our left front was the Kha- lifa's own palace. We were there, if only he was. A section of blacks filed away to the left through the walled passage that led to the door. Another filed to the right, behind the tomb, to- ward his private iron mosque. We waited. We waited. And then. on left and right, they reappeared, rather draggingly.
 Gone! None could know it for cer- tain till the place had been searched d through as well as the darkness would let it. Next morning some of the smaller Emirs avOwed that they knew il. He had been supposed to be sur rounded; but who could stop every earth in such a spinney! He had bolt ed out of one door as We went in an other.
 We filed back. Fer the present we had missed the crowning rapture. But going back under the wall we found a very good assurance that Abdullah was no more ruler. The street under the wall, now breathless stream of men and women, all carrying baskets-the whole population of the Khalifa's cap ital racing to pilfer the Khalifa's grain. There was no doubt about their good disposition now. They ashamed with enthusiasm, and lu-ed mos- genuine ly; che fiat-ncsed black lady forget propriety so far as to kiss my hand. Wonderful workings of the savage mind! Six hours before they were dy- ing in regiments for their master; now they were footing his corn. Six hours before they were slashing our wounded to pieces; now they were asking us for coppers.
 Next morning the army awoke re- freshed, and were able to appreciate to the full the beauties of Omdurman When you saw it close, and by the llgh: of day, the last suggestion of stateli- ness vanished. It had nothing left but size-msre stupid multiplication oi rubbish. One CT two relics of civiliza- i tion were found. Taps in the Kha- lifa's bath; ships chroncmeter; a i small pair of compssses in a boy s writing desk, and large pair modelled clumsily upon them; the dropping tele- graph wire and cable to Khartoum Gordcn's old Bordsin, a shell-torn

husk of broken wood round engines that still worked marvellously; few naked Egyptians, once governmentse ser vats; Charles Neufeld, the cap:.ve Ger man merchant, quoting Schiller over his ankle-chains; Sister Teresa, the captive nun, forcibly married to Greek, presenting a green orange to Colonel Wingate, the trisd friend she had never seen before-such was the. pathetic flotsam over.aken by the ad- vancing wave Of Mahdism, now strand ed by it's ebb.
 For the rest the Mahdi's tomb was shoddy brick, and ycu dared not talk in it lest the rest of the dome should come on your head. The inside was tawdry panels and railings around 6 gaudy pail. The Khalifa's house was the house of a well-to-do fsllah, and a dsad donkey putrefed under its win dow holes. The arsenal was the re- duplication of all the lcct that has gone for dollar piece these three years. The great mosque was wall round a biggish square with a few tick-and-thatch huts at one end Of It. The iron mosque was galvanized shed, which would have repulssd the customers of third-rate country pho tographer. Everything was wretched.
 And foul! They dropped their dung where thsy listed; they drew their wa ter from beside green sewers; they had filled the streets and khcrs with dead donkeys; they left their brothers to rot and puff up hideously in the sun. The stench of the place was in your ncstrils, in your throat, in your stom- ach. You could not eat; you dared not drink. Well you could believe that this was the city where thsy crucif15d man to steal handful of base dol- lars, and sold mother and daughter to- gether to be divided five hundred miles apart to live and die in the same bes- tial concubinage.

 The steady columns drove through the surge of bodies; then halted in lines of ebony statues, the open-mouth- ed guns crawling between them to the front We had come opposite to the corner of high wall of faced stones, a high twenty feet solid. without chip or chink Now, This was the great wall of Omdurman, the Khalifa's cita- del. And, listeni Boom-boom-a heavy melancholy noe, half below, half vail. It was the great Clnbeya, the war horn. The Khaiifa was inside, and he was rallying the mulazemin of his body guard to fight thsir last fight in their last stronghold.
 At the corner we came C1 a breach 300 cubic feet CT so of fssure-tcrn by lyddite shell. Over the rubble we scramble, then through stout, double leafed gate, pulses leaping; we were inside. But as yet only half inside only in a broad road between another high stone wall on cur right and the river forts on cur lefe. We saw the choked embrasures and a maimed gun 
 holed that a man could only gst enc cblique shot at a gunboat, and then wait till the next came up to have one shot at that. We saw worse things horrors such as do not sicken in the mass on the battle field-a scarlet msn sitting with his chin On his knees, hit by a shell, clothed from head to foot jn his own blood-a woman, young and beautifully formed, stark naked, roll ing from side tc side, moaning. As yet we saw net one fighting man, and still we could feel that the place' was alive We pushed on be,ween walls, we knew not whither, through eXpsctant empti- ness, through pulsing silence.
 Round a corner We came suddenly on bundle of dirty patched cloth and dirty, lean black limbs of a typical dsr- wish. He was alive and unarmed ard threw up his hands; he was taken for a guide. Next at our feet, cutting the read, we found a broad khor, flowing in from the Nile, washing up above the base of the wall. Four dervishes pop ped cut, seemingly from dead walls beyond. They came towards us and probably wished to surrender; but the blacks fire as they dived into their dead walls again. The guide said the water was not deep, and crowd oi men and women suddenly shooting ur from the rear bore him cut by fordins 1t. Most Of these now reccnciled fCes had baskets to take away their late masters loot.
 We plashed through the water-ant here at last, in the face Of the higt wall or cur right, was great wcodeI gate Six blacks stood by with tho bsyonet, while another beat it oper with his rifle butt. We stepped inside the gate with wonder and disappoint ment

even more wonderful h:e-hivs. than ; lne outer town itself. Like all ty- rants, he was constantly increasing his body guard, till the fortified enclosure was bursting with them. From the height of saddle you could see that this was only part of the citadel, an enclosure within an enclosure. Past a little guard house at the gate a nar- row path ran up the center of it; all the rest was a chaos of piggish dwell ing holes. Tiny round straw tukis, mats propped up fcO1 from earth with crooked sticks, dOme-topped mud ken nels that man could jus. crawl into. exaggerated birds nests falling to pieces of stick and s.raw-lucky was the man of the Khalifa's guard who could house himself and his family in a mud cabin the size of an omnibus. On every side, of every type, they jum- bled and jus:led and crushed: and they sweated and sunk with people. For one or two old men in new gibbas came cut, and enc or two young men naked and wounded. When we offered them no harm, the Khalifa's body guard broke cover One second the place might have been an uncouth cemetery: the next it was a gibbering monkey house. From naked novels, presto! it turned to naked bodies. Climbing, squeezing, burrowing, they came out like vermin from a burning coat.
 They were just as skinny and shab- by as any ether dervishes; as the Om- durman guards they were a failure. They were all very friendly, the men anxious to tell what they knew of the Khalifa's movements-whichw was noth- ing-the women overjoyed to fetch drinks of water. But when they were told to bring out their arms and am- munition they became a bit sticky, as soldiers say. They looked like refus- ing, and a snap shot round corner which killed a black soldier began to look nasty. There must have been thousands of them all about us, all un- der cover, all knowing every twist and turn of their warren. But a confident i front imposed on thtm, as it will On savages. A raised voice, a hand on the shCulder-and they were slipping away to their dens and slouching back with RemingtOns and bandeliers. The first came very, very slowly; as the pile grew they came quicker and quick CT. From crawling they changed in five minutes to trot; they smiled all ever, and informed zealously against | anybody who hung back Why net Three masterless hours will hardly wipe out the rest of a lifetime of sla-
