Another case which came under my
notice is that OF Oliver Pain. one Of
the most prominent leaders of the
French commune in 1871. Condemned
to death for his participation in that
instruction, his sentence was subse-
quently committed to n of penal
servitude for life in New Caledonia.
He succeeded in effectin- his escape
thence with Henri Rochefort, and
passed through New York in 1876 on
his way back to Europe. Seven or
eight years later I met him at Cairo,
that he was ON his way to offer his
services to the Mahdi in his war
against the English. he set forth on
his adventurous trip into the desert en-
route for Khartoum, the English au-
thorities making no attempt to inter-
fere with his movements. No anthem
tic news was heard of him until an
Austrian missionary, Father Arrival
der, subsequent to his escape from
Omdurnan, reported that Pain had
reached the Mahdi in safety, and after
living at Omdurman for several years
as one of the counselors of the false
prophet, had finally incurred the lat
ter's d~ispleasure and had been buried
alive.
Both in Egypt and Turkey there are
quite a large number of pashas, most
devout Mohammedans, who are moth
ing more or less than European rene
gades. Thus Omar Pasha, the most
distinguished Turkish general of the
present century, was an Austrian by
birth and served in the Austrian army
under. the lame of Mikail Won Lottas.
Old Cherif Pasha. who was on nu-
meTous occasions prime minister and
regent Of Egypt, was a son of that
French general, De Selves, who reor-
gained the army of Mehemet Ali on
a European footing, and embraced
Mohammedanism with the object of
increasing his influence over his
troops. One of the most interesting
renegades of this kind that l ever met
was old Sefer Pasha, whose real
name was Count Koscielcky, and who,
while holding the rank of lieutenant
colonel in the Prussian army, had the

"At Busby, the guard opened the door,
and, in spite of Fred's scowls, lifted a
small girl into our compartment, max
ing a lot of apologies about having no
place else to put her. She was a real
little tow-headed English girl of about
7, and she sat down on the edge Of

Fred. L don't see the BIRDS said the

1t is a curious commentary on hui
mar nature that white men should de-
sert their kind and fight the battles of
savages against civilization. Yet in
stances of that kind are very common.
In nine cases out of ten these DESERT
ers from civilization adopt all the
worst vices and savagery of the people
among whom they cast their lot and
vie in surprising them in cruelty and
deviltry, says a writer. In Cocnlu
China, where the French have for
nearly twenty years been carrying on
a relentless warfare against the blood
thirsty pirates who infest the coasts,
and especially the great rivers, the
naval and military forces every now
and again discover that the pirate
chiefs whom they succeeded in captur-
ing are European r~enegades, m
times Frenchmen. I remember in par
ticular the case of a man of the name
Of Cussade, who was shot at Hanoi, on
the occasion of my visit there, and
who, having deserted from the French
army, had become one of the principal
lieutenants of the black flag. or pirate
force of the dreaded chief and mandar-
in, Doc Itch. In the Soudan the Khali-
ia has a large number of European
renegades under his orders, including
the ex-Prussian sergeant of artillery,
Klotz, and an ex-Austrian officer, who
now bears the name of Inger: while
his principal lieutenant is the cele-
brated Osman Digna, the most clever
OF all his generals, and who, the son OF
a French shopkeeper of the name Of
Joseph Nisbet, was born in Rouen and
baptized in the magnificent cathedral
of hat ancient capital of Normandy.
His father failed in business, migrated
to Egypt, where, after his death, his
widow married a well-known Moham-
medan merchant of Alexandria, Digna
by name. Having no children of his
own, he became exceedingly fond of
his French stepson, insisted on his
becoming converted to the faith of the
prophet, and entered him under the
name of Osman Digna at the military
school at Cairo. where the lad receiv-
ed a careful training at the hands Of
the distinguished French, German and
British officers attached to the college
as professors. 1t is to this training at
the military school at Cairo that must
be ascribed the remarkable skill which
Osman Digna has displayed in the
construction of Notifications and en-
trenchments in his numerous en-
counters with the Anglo-Egyptian
forces. Ouite a number of other
Frenchmen have e~ndeavored to join

1t is a difficult job to suppress the
theatrical pass fiend. Tim Murphy, the
comedian, says it can't be done. Last
spring, when Mr.. Murphy was playing
'The Carpetbagger,'' in an interior
town, a hotel waiter asked him for two
'tcomplimentaries," and as the actors
generosity toward walters, b%ootblacks
and hotel employees is prover5ial he re-
ceived them. The recipient lost no time
in selling the passes to a drummer and
pocketing 81 for his enterprise. A few
weeks ago "The Carpetbager" revis-
tied the town and the same waiter
again asked for a ticket. This time he
said one would do. do you want to
see the play yourself?' inquired the
elongated comedian. Yes, sir, Il you
please" IF | give you q pass will
you use it-yourself?" You bet I
will" was the emphatic reply. Come
here, then" said the actor. Drawing
a pencil from his. pocket he wrote
across the polished shirt front of the
waiter: Pass this man tonight-if he
is sober and dated the line, 'Show
that at the box office window" he add
ed, and they'll give you a seat cou-
pom. At 8 O'Clock the waiter presented
himself at the box Office, and pointing
toward his ~wishbone, inquired: "Is this
ticket good?'' Certainly replied the
ticket seller. "Give me a coupon,
please" "All right, but I'll have to
punch that ticket If it is a 'compli-
nentary.'" What! Punch a hole
Through my shirt?' Eyes, sir, or else

A rubber stamp was pressed against
the linen and the waiter approached

inspection. Ticket, please: I can't let
you in on that" politely remarked the
doorkeeper. We'll, here is my ticket "

Lost Eyes washing Face.

Occasionally a man, if he is extreme
ly careless and awkward. will jab his
finger into his, eye when washing his
face; but one has to go a long way to
find a man who. having lost one eye by
such c~lumsiness. pushes in the other.
A grocer's assistant in London, Al
years old, while washing his face, put
his finger into his right eye. The eye
ball became infamed and was taken
out. This was in 1896. Four years
later he ran a fingernail into the other
eye in the same manner, causing an
even more serious wound. The sur
geons, who seemed to have had no hes
itation about talking out the other eye,
wanted to save this one il possible, and
so they postponed the operation to see
if sight even in a small degree couldn't
be retained. There was an element of
luck in the matter for the grocer, for
he was Insured in an accident COM
pany, and the corporation agreed to
pay the claim at once without waiting
to see If the eye eventually could be
saved.-New York Press.

TERRIBLE RIDE
Made by Two Boys Through a Tunnel
on a Car Roof.

Made by Two Boys Through a Tunnel
on a Car Roof.
New York Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean:
Having expended all the money in
their possession in a week spent in
sightseeing in New York, George
Huxon, aged eighteen, and John Cor
key, aged seventeen, both residents of
East Cambridge, Mass, determined
Friday night to steal a ride home on a
New Haven train. The boys loitered
about the foot bridge at Forty-eighth
street that spans the Grand Central
train yards, and the idea suggested
itself to them to drop to the roof of a
car of the Boston midnight express as
it was passing under them. AS the
Montreal express steamed out of the
station at 1903 O'Clock at a lively gait
the youths mistook it for the Boston
train. They vaulted owe the railing
of the bridge and droppedt to the roof of
a mail car. They had just seated them
selves when the train swung out in
the side track and headed for the sin
gle track tunnel. Once inside the tun-
mel the train began to increase in speed
until it was travelling at a high rate.
The predicament of the boys was
frightful. Smoke, hot cinders, a ter
rible draught, darkness and a loud
roar made them fear for their lives.
Co2key, it is said, suffered from collid-
ing with the roof of the tunnel. When
the boys finally emerged from the tun-
mel Corkey was badly cut and bruised.
When the train came to a stop at
Spuyten Duyvil they made their pres
ence known. They were helped from
the roof of the car. Corkey, it is said,
was almost nude, the clothing having
been torn from his body in the tunnel.
Huxon was covered with dust and
bleeding from the mouth and nose. The
boys were taken to Yonkers and turned
over to Policeman James Nolan. Cor
key was conveyed to st. Johns hospi-
tai. The boys were arraigned in court
and remanded.

A popular color for canary-birds in
England at present is a reddish yellow,
or deep orange. This color, it is said,
can be produced artificially by dieting
the birds on a number of different sub
stances, the chief of which is cayenne
pepper mixed with m~olasses. Dealers
are able to produce particularly de-
sirable shades by varying the guam
tity of pepper and by adding occa-
sionally a little turmeric or madden.
Each dealer has his own formula,
which he keeps secret The plumage
of the birds thus treated is apt to fade,
and they are kept as much as possible
out of the light.

FORTUNE TELLER
Cursed the Judge and Court Oficers for
Her Conviction. ~

f1or CCAVIcCAOns y
Camden IN. J.) special New York
World: Cold chills crept up and down
the back of Judge Armstrong and the
officials in the Quarter Sessions court
this afternoon as Rebecca Peters CALI
ed down bitter curses upon them all.
There seemed to be a spell in the
court, until finally an officer plucked
up courage enough to take the woman
across the Bridge of Signs to the
county jail. She was unable to pay a
fine of $500 for telling fortunes. Mrs.
Peters is the who was charged
by Miss Jennie Kuhn with failing to-
return $37 which she had obtained up
on a promise to return Miss Kuhn's
lover to her. Mrs. Peters advised Miss
Kuhn to skin a cat, boil the carcass,
battle in the water, then take a walk
around a block without her usual ap-
pareI. Miss Kuhn, finding that the
charm failed to have the promised re-
suit. demanded the return of her $37,
whereupon, it is alleged, the soothsayer
violently elected her from the house.
In sentencing her Judge Armstrong
said that it was only the fact that it
was her first offense that saved her
from Imprisonment. The judge warned
superstitious people to beware of such
frauds as Mrs. Peters, and declared
that nan dupes in Camden encour-
aged people of the woman's class to
conduct the fortune-telling business.
He warned soothsayers that the court
would deal severely with them if they
| should be brought before it.
