THE COMING MAHDI.
A More Notable Figure in Africa Than
Paul Kruger.


From the New York News.
Since Ell Wahih, in the latter half of the
eighteenth century, established in Arabia
the powerful reforming sect of Wahabee-
ism and thereby created no slight ferment
in the Mohammedan world. that faith has
produced no great personality able to
rouse his co-religionists to deeds of fanati-
cal devotion and to throw themselves few
vently into great effort to re-establsh
great Mohammedan empire. There have
been, of course, mad mullahs in India and
local mahdis elsewhere.
Possibly the most important of these So
called guides was the Mahdi of Omdur-
! man. who caused the death of Gordon and
the last vestige of whose power was shat
tered by Lord Kitchener in 1898. At the
| best. however. he lacked many of the es-
in addition to being hopeless voluptuary.
he was devoid of possible policy, and
was. in addition. the creature Of the most
degraded slave dealers.
Although he gathered around him the
fighting Baggaras and number Of slave
dealing tribes of the Upper Nile. 1t is
notorious fact that the more powerful
fraternities of the Soudan and the Sahara
refused to acknowledge him or to assist
him. But his overthrow has only brought
a greater danger into prominence.
Those who imagine that the crushing of
the khaifa destroyed all chance of a re-
vival of militant Mohammedanism in the
dark continent will probably have rough
awakening in the near future. The fact is
that the Mohammedans have an infinitely
greater mahdi in reserve. Unseen of Euro
peans, pursuing a consistent and astute
policy for years; able, learned and silent:
animated by the keenest hatred against the
Christians, preparing arms, ammunition
and wealth in oasis far remote from the
fringe of civilization; with many millions
of followers only waiting his word to
throw themselves against the European
outposts In north Africa, this mysterious
mahdi will assured!y play important
part in the Immediate history of the world.
Yes Sdi Senuss, the mysterious mahd1.
will yet become more notable figure In
north Africa than Paul Kruger in the
south Once he declares the holy war 1t
will tax the resources Of both France and
England to meet him.

COOLING WATER WITHOUT ICE.
How 1t is Effectively Accomplished in
NicurnSua.

From the New Orleans Times. Democrat
When native-in one of the broiing hot
little villages of interior Nicaragua wants
to cool some water she fills a half-sallnn

to him by neighboring landowner that he

that. for my cuddy Wilma eat onything but

Rare Luck With a Gold Nugget.

A downtown woman relates an incident
which would seem to inspire an abiding
confidence in humanity. One morning last
week the letter carrier delivered small
gold nugget made in the shape of paper
weight. 1t was unwrapped and merely
bore on the under side her name, the num-
ber of her house and street. but no city or
state. A few days later she received from
Postmaster Hicks a lot of twine and torn
paper, on which was her full address, with
a note stating that evidently the contents
of the paper had worn its way out. and if
she could inform the postal authorities
what 1t was they would make search for
it, She called on the postmaster and told
him that she had received the contents of
the paper The nugget had passed through
suboffices unwrapped. yet arrived safely
after a long journey from a distant mining
camp.
