MAD MULLAHDEAD
Report of His Assassination
Reaches the Coast.
Killed by a Spear Thrust While
at Prayer.

Aden Arabia, Dec. ia rumor has
reached here of the assassina tion of the
Mad Mullah in Somaliland. The report
was brought to the coast by a native
runner from Garrereo, via Berbera. The
Mullah is said to have been killed by a
spear thrust in the stomach, inflicted while
he was praying.
That part of Somaliland in northeast
Africa, forming a border land between
Abyssinia and the British protectorate on
the coast of the Gulf of Alden, has been
for the last two or three years in a state
of disturbance, owing to the increasing
power of the Mad Mullah. Last Decem-
ber the Mullah was reported to have
about twelve thousand men. mostly mount
ed, a large percentage of whom were arm
ed with rifles when he defeated Col.
Swayne and his British army two months
ago.

At the depth OF fifty feet they can be

greater depth they must be got by
diving.
Sponge fishers use glass by which
sponges can be seen growing on the
bottom. The instrument Is in the ma

All unmarried females Of means and
position are chaperoned here. Age
doesn't matter. They are spinsters
that's enough. No tender maid of thir-
ty goes unattended In California. No
single woman of any age goes to the
theater alone with a man, and, as for
buggy riding" the custom Is I'M
known. No girl goes to restaurant
for lunch with youth she has known
from the cradle. 1t would not be cor
rect. and 1t would not be entirely cor
rect, either. for her to get another girl.
No; she must have the chaperon-the
tried and seasoned veteran of matri-
mony-or else the proprieties will be

The ardor with which the cult Of the
chaperon has been taken up in the
west should make the thoughtful
pause. At the rate we're going at

SECRETARY GAGE CONDEMNS
sotLED MONEY.

When Secretary Cages attention
was recently called to the action of
the Ohio state beard of health in COZ
demuing al soiled or unclean paper
money, he expressed sincere approval.
The death Of man aud his wife at
Melrose. Ohio. from smallpox. the
germs of which sswere communicated
by filthy paper money, brought the
question forcibly before the Ohio
authorities.
Secretary Gage said: II would in
deed be glad II We could get rid Of
all old soiled paper money. The trea-
sury department sends out each day
approximately 81. 600, COO in new paper
money in exchange for old torn or
soiled paper bills.
1.-THE treasury department is always
glad to exchange new paper money
for old. AS fast as the old money
comes into the department. 1t is noted
and destroyed. OF course. there is
no way to call in the old money and
unless the individual holders volun-
teer to send in their currency for ex-
change, we cannot reach them. re-
peat, if anyone has any old money they
want exchanged for new money and
will send it or hring it to the treasury
department,we will be glad to Issue
new money for the old"

settling the question of how to avoid
railway use of the Mall.
The Mall, by way of new plans will
be restored 60 the relations originally

Not only the city itself, bat thu

ON A TECHNICALLY.
Motion for New Trial in Paving Case
Dismissed but Renewed.

In the paving injunction suit of
John Diamond against the city, set
tied case was agreed upon before
Judge Cray in chambers at two
o'clock Monday.
At three O'Clock the city offered a
motion for new trial and the attor-
neys for Mr.. Diamond moved to
dismiss it. This was argued briefly and
submitted.
Judge Cray later filed a decision,
dismissing the motion for a new trial
on the ground that it had not been
properly made, inasmuch as the notice
was served before the settled case had
been made instead of afterwards.
City Attorney Daley and W. N.
Plymat representing the city have
prepared new motion for a new trial
and have served notice that it will be
presented at the special term Sept.

allow of the case going on the October

The old postofice, which was used
as sort of fort, showing the impro-

the parade.
About $50 old settlers and defenders,
men bent with age and gray with
years, followed by about 100 of the
