THE MAD MULLAH.
MOhammed Abdileh, of SOmaIiland,
the Second Mahdi.
st. James Gazette.

81. James Gazette.
The name of Mohammed Abdileh conveys
little to English ears, but, nevertheless, 1t
is that of {, man who has very wide repu-
tation, and whose appearance i'm the news
papers Is an everyday occurrence. AS the
Mad Mullah of Somaliland Mohammed
Aodileh is well known. But little is known
of this second Mahdi, whose influence over
the warlike tribes of Somaliland has caused
so much trouble and expense to the govern
ment. He was born of poor parents, owning
a few cattle in the southern portion of So
maitland. In his youth Mohammed was in
itiated into the mysteries of the occult sci
enceS and SOrcery. These he learned among
the tribe of the DanakiI. which has always
been renowned for its magicians. A study of
the Koran and the Arab writings followed
in the Marabout school. When quite young
the future Mullah was taken with the idea
of making the pilgrimage 10 Mecca, and,
not content with one journey, made the sa-
cred visit three four times. His object
was to obtain greater reputation for holi-
ness than that held by the other pilgrims.
After his last pilgrimage Mohammed re-
turned to Berbera, but met with small sue
cess i'm that commercial town. Seeing no
prospect before him but that of remaining a
poor, begging pilgrim, he determined to
strike out on a new line for himself, and es-
tabli3hed himself among 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 thereafter
the magic learned in his boyhood stood him
able to overawe his somewhat turbulent fol-
lowers. He assumed the title of Mullah
tpriest and heaven-sent), and even that of
Mahdi tprophet) Overwhelmed with pres
ents by his credulous followers, Mohammed
Abdileh soon was among the richest of the
land, and with his riches his influence grew
apace.
His pride waxed very great, and one day
he ordered all the Korans of the ordinary
priests TO be burned, saying that he himself
was the living Koran, and that he was to be
0beyed as 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 Somaliland campaign
Possessing the power of calling forth the
enthusiastic support of the tribesmen, the
Mullah has not had to rely upon himself
alone for the conduct of his campaigns. If
report speake truly, besides the Austrian,
Karl Inger, he has as lieutenant an English
naval officer, who, after his disgrace in the
service. sought career and revenge in the
midst of the Mullah'S tribes.

Authors and Illustrators.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
The London Academy and Literature has
a paragraph much to the point on the mat
ter of book illustrations:
'sThe trouble between authors and their
illustrators is an old one. and it is often
difficult to apportion the blame. Some
times the author is vague that the il
illustrator has to fall back upon his own
Imagination, In which case he is almost
certain to enrage the author; sometimes
the author Is precise and detailed i'm a
description that the unfortunate ilustra-
tor is at his wits end tn know what to
leave in and what to leave out. And there
always comes i'm the authors conception
of a character, which he has rendered ac-
cording to his lights, and the illustrator
which he has TO render definitely in a.
wholly different medium When Tennyson
saw one of Holman Hunts drawings for
The Lady of Shalot he said: But my dear
Hunt; / never said that the young womans
hair was blowing all over the shop To
which Hunt replied. No, but you never
said ID wasn't The only reasonable course
is for author and illustrator to meet and
talk things over.
Ii will be noted that nothing is said of
the third party who. on the whole. grum-
bles more than the author and his illu-
traitor toghether. Many reader has been
heard to wish from the bottom of his heart
that no books were ever illustrated, be-

by Mrs. Grundy. There are a good many
novels published as the work of Dumas
which were I'm reality written by his as
sistants. Some OF these do not deserve to
be translated into English for the sim
pie reason that they are not worth reading.
But of the genuine Dumas novels j can
not at this moment think of any one which
would shock an ADglo-SaXOn reader. or
would deserve ostracism for any other rea-
son.
What a change has come over the pub
lie taste during the last thirty years, There
was a time when Dumas the elder was re-
garded rs author to be read in the

women. Ii is true that few intelligent
men were firm in their allegiance TO the
great Frenchman, but most Anglo-SaXon
Dumas Fills. on the contrary was held TO
be. perhaps, the greatest French novelist
since Balzac. and the Dame aux Came
Has was ranged infinitely above the
Three Musketeers.'' Who reads the
Dame aux Camelias' nowadays? And
what has become OF the fame OF Dumas
Fills? On the other hand the elder Dumas
has been almost universally recognized as
one of the worlds great story tellers. and
ranks far higher to-day than he ever did IN
his lifetime. This is encouraging sign,
for his books are as healthy as those of his
son were unhealthy. There is a great deal
OF poisoning in the latter part OF the
Monte Cristo,' but Dumas murders
never hurt his readers in the slightest de-
gree, while the false morality of Dumas
Fills has undoubtedly had it's effect. There
