celebrated Osman Digna, the cleverest of all his

Cairo where the lad received careful training
at the hands Of the distinguished French, Ger

remarkable skill which Osman Digna has dis
played in the construction Of Notifications and

the Anglo Egyptian forces. and the circum-
stance that The Khalfa should now be strongly

against the English. and it may be remembered
that the Marquis de Mores, married to the
daughter of a banker, Mr.. Louis HOFFMAN, OF
New-York, lost his life while on his way TO
Khartoum for the purpose OF placing his ser
vices at the disposal of the Khalifa. Another
case which came under my notice Is that OF
Olivier Pain, one of the most prominent leaders
of the French Commune of 1871. Condemned TO
death for his participation in that instruction

of penal servitude for life in New-Caledonia
He succeeded in efecting his escape thence with
Henri Rochefort and passed through New-York

eight years later | met him at Cairo, where he
made no secret of the fact that he was on his
way to offer his services to the Mahdi in his war
against the English. He set forth on his ad-
venturous trip into the desert on the way to
Khartoum, the English authorities making no
attempt to interfere with his movements. No
authentic news heard Of him until the

FOUR FAMOUS APOSTATE PACHAS.
Both in Egypt and in Turkey there are quite
large number of pachas most devout Ma
hometans, who are nothing more nor less than
European renegades. Thus Omar Pacha. the
most distinguished Turkish general Of the pres
ent century. an Austrian by birth. and had
served in the Austrian Army under the name OF
Mikail Won Lattas Old Cherif Pacha. who was
on numerous occasions Prime Minister and Re-
gent of Egypt was a son of that French Cen
eral de Selves. who reorganized the army OF
Mehemet Ali on a European footing, and en-
braced Mahometanism with the object of in
creasing his influence over his troops.
One Of the most interesting renegades OF this
kind that have ever met was old Sefer Pacha,
whose real name was Count Kosciesky, and
who. while holding the rank OF lieutenant colo
mel in the Prussian Army, had the misfortune to
kill in a duel his commanding officer Count
Kleist. This led him to expatriate himself. and.
Joining the Turkish army. he distinguished him
self during the Crimean War as a member of the
staff of the Turkish COMMANDMENTS hief. Omar
Pacha. Subsequently the Count, who had mean
while become a convert to Mahometanism under
the name Of Sefer Pacha, transferred his SER
vices to Khedive Ismail of Egypt. whom he used
invariably to accompany to the mosque on Fri
day. practising the Mahometan rites In the most
devout manner when in Egypt During his an
nual visits. however. at his ancestral castle or
Persten in Austria, the old reprobate (who
maintained on the banks of the Nile magni-
cent harem) would make a point Of attending
mass every Sunday. inviting the bishop and the
parish priest to dinner. and pretending to take
an active interest in the religious instruction and
welfare Of the numerous villages on his Aus
TRAN estates. He died few years ago at his
castle and was buried as Christian. Had his
death occurred in Egypt he would without doubt
have been inferred according to Mahometan
rites
Among other celebrated renegades OF this kind
| may mention the name of Mehemet Ali Pacha,
who after taking a leading part in the last
Turko- Russian War. sent by the Sultan as
one Of the Ottoman plenipotentaries to the Der
lin Congress of 1878. His diplomatic prcroSa-
tives alone saved him from being arrested on

MISS REYNOLDS COMES HOME
Her FIRST Season as an Actress Very
Successful one.

Miss Camilla Reynolds came home
Sunday for two weeks rest after her
long season with the Owen company.
Miss Reynolds was seen this afternoon
and her friends may be assured that
her bard work as a debutante has left
no traces upon her. She is enjoying
the best of health, and has held up
under the severe strain in way that
shows she is fully qualified to continue
her work or the stage.
Miss Reynolds chatted for half an
hour over her work, the people she has
met and the new plays, and sheis even
more enthusiastic over her work as an
actress than ever. The work has
proved more enjoyable even than she
expected, and life on the road seems to
have been devoid of all its drawbacks
Tbs company has received generous
audiences wherever it has played, and
Miss Reynolds has always drawn her
share of appreciation.
When the company left Kenosha but
three plays were included in the roper
tory, but since that time Miss Reynolds
has added the roles of Portia, in " The
Merchant of Venice" Ophelia in
q Hamlet" Paulina in The Lady OF
Lyons" Queen Ann of Austria, in
The Three Guardsmen," Galatea in
Z T. 3gmaiian and Galatea," and Lady
Teasel in the School for Scandal. ("
In all these parts Miss Reynolds has
gained great applause, and several
other roles will be added to her long
repertorv during the next few weeks.
During her season of six months Miss
Reynolds has met many former Kenosha
friends, and has had many pleasant
visit with them,
For the benefit Of the ladies it might
be said that Miss, Reynolds has added
to her wardrobe many new and stun.
ming gowns, which will be seen during
the engagement of the Owen company
in this city, opening Easter Monday.
The return of Miss Reynolds has
been quite the event in social circles
today, and the young lady has been
kept very busy receiving the congratu-
lations on her great success in her first
season before the footlights.

Rape seed cases on Trial.

The Circuit Court this morning took
up the case of Martin Hoffman against
Robert Dixon and a jury was secured
to try the case. The case is a suit for
damages and is the first Of a series Of
suits brought against Dixon by farmers
living in the western part of the county
who allege that Dixon, who is q gen.
eral merchant in the town of Silver
Lake, sold them mustard seed for rape
seed. The case has attracted lots of
attention and;a large number of farm
ers are greatly intereste in the QUE
come of it. The case will probably
occupy the attention Of the court for
several days.

ATLANTA ON A REEF.
BIG GOODRICH LINER GOES ASHORE
NORTH OF THE CITY.
PASSENGERS AND CREW SAVED
The Vessel Had Left Chicago at Eight
O'Clock Last Night, and Had Hard
Fight Against Wind and snow-May
stay in the Ice Several Days.

The big Goodrich passenger steamer
Atlanta, running between Chicago and
Milwaukee, went on the beach be-
tween this city and Racine early this
morning. The steamer is not thought
to be in any Immediate danger, and
the company owning her have ordered
three tugs and steamer to proceed to
the scene and attempt to release her
without damage. The passengers on
the vessel, consisting of 50 souls, were
all rescued by the crew unassisted, and
have found comfortable places in the
different hotels at Racine.
The steamer is firmly stuck in the
ice and sand a little over two and
half miles from Racine, and while the
life saving stations both in this city
and Racine have rendered their serv-
ices, the company seem to think the
boat in no danger, and will wait until
assistance can arrive from Chicago.
According to the story of one of tie
crew, the vessel left Chicago at its reg
ular time last night with the 50 pass
engers and large amount of freight
AS soon as the boat left Chicago the
pilot took the usual course to Racine
The vessel had only been in the lake a
short time when terrific wind and
snow storm came up from the north
east. In a few moments the lake be-
came very rough and it was impossible
for the liner to make any Roadway
against the storm. However the pilot
made every effort to hold her to the
course until they were no longer able
to throw the lead, and few moments
later the vessel buried its hull in the
ice along the beach, and before any
change could be made the vessel was
firmly fixed in the sand about 500 feet
| from the shore, with her hull out about
eight inches.
| The passengers became greatly
alarmed when the vessel was beached;
but the crew worked mapfully and
soon cut channel through the ice tC
the shore and the passengers were al
landed by means of small boat, and
the storm on the lakes was the worst
in years.
The vessel is not injured in any way
and will probably be released this
evening. The passengers were al
sent to their destinations this morning
This is the second accident to the
Goodrich boats during the last two
months.
Capt Cameron of the life saving
station visited the beached vessel
this afternoon and assisted il
removing the crew from the
vessel. The captain says that the boat
has only touched the shore and is in nc
danger whatever. The captain of the
boat is David Corcoran and was
formerly great friend of the head OF
the life saving station here and he
stated to the Kenosha man that it
would be impossible for the boat to be
| released until the wind swings round to
the west and blows the ice out into the
lake again. The captain says that
there is fully seven miles of ice between
the vessel and open water.

DIED FROM HEART DISEASE.
Young Joseph Maurer Dies Very Suddenly
At His Home in somers.

Joseph Maurer, the ten year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Maurer, who live
north of the city in the town of Somers,
died very suddenly at the family resi-
dence early this morning. He was
about the house and farm all day
yesterday and had done his usual work
this. morning.
Just before the boy died he came
into the house and told his mother that
he was suffering from a bad headache.
He lay down on the lounge and when
his parents found him he was already
dead. The doctor who has been at
tending him for some time since, said
that the boy suffered from heart failure,
and this was probably the cause of his
sudden demise. The funeral will be
held from st. George church on next
Thursday morning.

note what little interes, has hitherto
been taken In Sierre Leone, although 1t
has been In our possession for 100
years. and hundreds OF horses must
have died during that period, yet no
investigation has ever been made to
ind out II the mortality among horses
was caused by the tsetse fly; on the
contrary, It was always supposed that
the tsetse dy did not exist. and that
horses died from lion disease caused
by eating the grass OF the country. The
expenses a0d disadvantages Of human
transport might have induced the gov
ernment to Ascertain II the tsetse ny
