The capture Of Osman Digna. who for

ish. ends the career Of one OF the most
picturesque rascals Of modern times. E,as..
An inglorious end it IL too. The man
who routed the forces Of such English
generals as Hicks. Graham, Baker and
Burnaby and who had defied Kitchener
himself was at last run down by mere
captain who, with squad Of soldiers. had
found the once great leader Of the desert
hordes skulking through the hills about
Suakin. attended by a pitiful remnant Of
his big army. So the English captain
made Osman Digna prisoner and shut
him up in Suakin. where he had once
ruled as lord OF the desert. The other
day the fallen emir was sent to Cairo;
where he is now shut up very securely.
1t is said that Osman Dignu was really
q European by birth and that his real
name Is George Nisbet. The story runs
that his widowed mother married slave
trader Of Alexandria,, who gave his name
to the boy. as well as his religion and his
occupation. After being we'll educated
Osman Digna succeeded his stepfathet
in business. He hired band Of lawless
desert denizens, who swept up and down
the banks Of the Nile, capturing young
men and women. The captives were
hurried Down the Red sea and sold. o.
man Digna grew rich. Els headquarters
were at Berber and at Khartum. The
whole Suakin region yielded tribute to
his traffic.
The English occupation threatened him
with ruin. The new authorities had is
sued nm edict against slavery. They clos
ed the ports Of the south to the peculiar
merchandise Of Osman Digna. He was
now a typical Mohammedan Of so. with
a harem and beard. Ruin stared him
in the face. He joined the Mahdi.
His first work was to organize fol-
lowing of desert bandits. Their bond of
union was plumber. Within few years

population of the eastern Sudan.

money right and left in order to,
if possible, be returned to con-
gress where he can look after
the interests of his hackers.
