Another Indication of the preva-

mils in the Vicinity of Wilkosbarre.
In these mills are. employed thou-

able to earn from $1.50 to $3 per
week. Tho limit of age at which
girls are allowed to work in Pe.nn-

earns a pittance at tho stocking
loom an affidavit is on file In the
mIll offiee declaring she is 13 years
old. Yet one does not have to employ
close scrutiny to see that very few
of the girls aro over 13. They are
miners' children, the sistere of boys
who, under a, sworn guarantee of 12,

early in 3.80, when he leci a raid
against a neighboring • tribe on the

an ordinary mullah or prleet, but
after a auteher of successful- raids
he p•roclabned binteelf the succeseor
of the mohdi, assumed ay antagonis-

tectorate government, and an-

Interior, leaving the coast to the
Europeans. Greet Britoin, with the
Beer War on its bands, was .unable
to furnish eufficiont protection to

tbe result that thousands of them
joined the Mad neullitele being given
the choice of doing so or being raid-

A Pious Leader.
The Arud mulinir is so deeply re-
ligions that half Into soldiers in his
camp are engaged in prayer when
thwy are not drilling or attending
to •their camp duties: The natives
are absolutely fearless or (Leath, and
believe that defeat under the Mad

Has Given Much Trouble.
It was the Mad Mullah ‘vho light-
ed the fire which swept from end
to end of the northwest frontier of
British India when he raised the
people of the Swat valley and
marched down with a horde of wild
tribesmen to invest the British
posts at Malakaland and Chadkaga.

and gaunt, but p.oseessed of remark-
able vitality. He is a, most eloquent
prestober, and his wild fanaticism
wolks with extraord:nary effect upon
the Pathans, his subjects.
His present plan is to form an al -
lance with the Mijertain tribe, which
will enable him to lead 80,000 men
against the British. It the feint in

British will have to invade the lili-
jartain country. There svill be heavy

at any time.
His Early Career.
Originally the Mad Mullah 'came
from the Buner country. His home
was In tho village of Rega, and his
real name le Saduliale His house was
blown up her dynamite in 1808 by a
British force. Sir Bindon Blood and
his division marched thiough Butler
after the battle or the Tanga /ass.
'The Mad Mullah% house was the best
in the village, but the only parts
that escaped deetruotion were the
doors, which were coveted with
beautiful carvings and wore Carried
away by the politleal officer.
Tho Mad Mullah has aneror forgot-
ten the fancied -wrongs dent) to his
people by the British, and on every
possible occasion takes it into Itis
