HOME DREssMAXING HINTS.
By MAY MANTON.

Deep yoke collars with softly bleused
waists are exceedingly charming and ere to
be noted among the best designs of the sea-
son. This smart model graceful and at
tractive and is well suited to all the FASH
ionable soft and pliable materials, but is
shown in champagne colored yelling with
the yoke of cream Venice lace, and the
ruchings and crush belt of soft taffeta in
the same shade as the gown. The ruches are
the new ones that are pinked at their edges
and, with the broad-shouldered yoke. give
just the quaint old-time effect so much in
vogue. When desired, the sleeves cen be
made long by the addition of deep cuffs.
The lining for the waist is smoothly fitted
and makes the foundation for the full front
and backs that are made to blouse slightly.

Miss Mckinley at English,s.

1t viii be long before the patrons of En-
glishs get the bad taste out of their mouths
that was left last night by the singularly
grotesque aggregation advertised as Miss
Mabel Mckinley and her Polite Vaudeville
Company. 1t would be more accurate. as
well as just, to eliminate the name of the
soprano from any frank criticism of the
show as a whole. Her ability and that alone
saved IL from the humiliation of failure fat
and absolute. She does not need a great
name to win her way, although her man.

sible use OF the most potent instrument of

dience forget the ugliness, the staleness,
the vulgarity and the banality that had tor

TWO PORTABLE BUILDINGS.

F E ! The Eaton School Fire-other School
 Matters.
 The total damage of Eaton school by the fire Monday will not exceed, it is now estimated, $15.0OO. The question arises where to find school accomnoda- tions for the Eaton school pupils, as the school cannot be repaired in time for the reopening of the schools. The work of repairing the damage will be started as soon as possible.
 The school committee held a meeting in the rooms Of the board of education on Center street yesterday noon to re- ceive bids for the construction of two portable school buildings. The contract was awarded to the lowest bidder, Da- Eid H. Clark, whose bida for the work was $2,1S5. There were seven bidders in all, and these, with their bids, were as follows: John Osborne, $2,S36; R. Heft, $2,S38; Knoll s2,4S5; Clark, $2,1S5;s Hawkins, $2,226i Fogarty, $2,5O0; Mur- dock, $2,190.
 This use of the portable school buiId- ings in New Haven will be an innova- ton, and it is felt that they will meet a long-felt need. The buildings, which will be. plain wooden structures, will be large enough to accommodate about the same number of pupils as are common ly seated in an ordinary school room. The buildings will be constructed so that they can be moved from one por- ton of the city to the other where they are the most needed

THE MAD MULLAH.

The name of Mohammed AbdiIeh con- veys little to English ears, but never theless it Is that of man who has a very wide reputation, and whose ap-
 pearance in the newspapers is an every day occurrence. As the Mad Mullah of Somalilandl Mohammed Abdileh is we'll
 known. But little is known of this sec- ond Mahdi. whose influence over the
 warlike tribes of Somaliland has caused
 So much trouble and expense to the
 government. He was born of poor pa rents4 owning few cattle in the south ern portion of Somaliland. In his youth Mohammed was initiated into the mysteries of the occult sciences and |sorcery These he learnt among the tribe of the Danakil, which has always been renowned for its magieians A study of the Koran and the Arab writ |ings followed in the Marabout school.
 When quite young the future Mullah
 was taken with the idea of making the pilgrimage to Mecca, and not content
 with one journey made the sacred visit
 three or four times. His object was to obtain a greater reputation for holiness
 than that held by the other pilgrims
 After his last pilgrimage Mohammed returned to Berbera, but met with small
 success in that commercial town. See ing no prospect before him but-tilat of remaining a poor, begging pilgrim, he determined to strike out new line for himself, and established himself among
 a powerful inland tribe. Here he made
 his position secure by his appearance of holiness, his impressive airs, and the
 assurance with which he made his
 prophecies. At this time and hereafter
 the magic learnt in his boyhood stood
 him in good stead whenever his holiness was not able to overawe his somewhat
 turbulent followers. He assumed the ti-
 tie of Mullah (priest and heaven-sent),
 and even that of Mahdi (prophet). Overwhelmed with presents by his |credulous followers, Mohammed Abdileh soon was among the richest of the land,
 and with his riches his influence grew
 apace. KIN <
 His pride waxed very great and one
 day he ordered all the Korans of the or
 dinary priests to be burnt, saying that
 he himself was the living Koran, and
 thas he was to be obeyed as a new prophet sent from Allah. Not. content
 with persuasion. the Mullah, following the example set by Mohammed the Great. threatened with death all those who disbelieved, and in following up these threats caused the disturbances which brought about the Sonaliland campaign Possessing the power of calling forth the enthusiastic support of the trihesmen. the Mullah has not had to rely upon himself alone for the con-
 duct of his campaigns If report speak ruly, besides the Austrian, Karl Inger, he has lieutenant. an English naval officer. who, after his disgrace in the service, sought a career and revenge in. the midst of the Mullah's tribes.-St. James Gazette.
