KiLLED

ARESBKI, THE OF THE Re~

BYLES, GUILLOTINED IN ALGERIA.

Ali of His Band Beheaded, too—-Women

Sewed Heads to Bodies so that the Ange!

ef Death Could Carry Them Away.

Areski is dead. This most famous of modern bandits, the man who was known in every inch of French Algeria, ard even along the boulevards of Paris, as the “Terror of the Kabyles,” and of whom an Arabie phrase was current, “The hand of Areski is sure, his blade is long and keen, and it the hearts of his enemies,” death on the guillotine within a fort- night,.in the Algerian town of Azazga.

The execution was noiable, inasmuch as all of the swarthy savage lieutenants were @ capt t d immedi- ately before him, No less a personag> than Diebler, the famous headsman ef France, touched the button that kt down the shining triangular blade upoa these necks. A circle of Alger.an horse- men surrounded the guillotine. The brilliant blue of their uniforms sto. d out vividly against the gleaming white sands, Each bandit wes led with meas- ured steps towards the “‘widow,’’ be- tween two stout guards, hibited in long black frock coats, sombre trousers and silk hats. At the platform upen which each victim was laid and which by a touch of mechanism slides slowly un- til it cemes to a rest under the terrible

always finds has met h's

chief's

knife, stood Diebler, “Monsieur d¢ Paris,” perfectly garbed in his long,

black coat and glossy tile.

The horsemen had gathered at mid- night. An hour later the machine of death was put in its plac and the white blades were carefully tried. An hour more and the necks of the con- demned were shaven that the knife might not be swerved, a custom as old as the guillotine. At 5, when no other tint appeared in the sky save a faint, yellowish glow, the sombre guards and the white-robed, Arab-costumed, black- bearded, sulien prisoncrs walked into the circle. Seven minutes from the sec- ond the knife first fell and it was all over. Each bandit died in ene and one- sixth seconds,

Not one weakened. The only com- plaint made was that they were not permitted to s-e their f:milies. They filed out of their prison chanting verses out of their Koran and accompanied by the mufti or Mussulman priest, who re- peated to them, one after another, con- solatory passages from the Mahometan Bible.

“Verily, repentance will be accepted with God,” softly said the priest to each, “From those who do evil ignor- antly and then repent speedily, unto them will God be turned, for God is knowing and wise.”

In answer to this attempt at consola- tion Areski shouted back these Koran phrases: “When ye march to war in the earth, it shall be no crime in you if ye shorten your prayers in case ye fear the infidels may attack you; for the intidels are your open enemy. God hath indeed promised to everyone para- dise, but God hath preferred those who fight for the faith before those who sit still.”’

The gleaming knife fell on Armed- Namar-ou-Tahar, and this chieftain died a sojdier’s death. Ali-Ouel-Hadj- Karli, who was entitled to wear the tur- ban conferred upon those who had kiss- cd Mahomet’s tomb, followed him. The next to die was Mohammed-Ouiddir, a giant, who laid himself upon the sliding platform withceut a tremor, and suc- ceeding him w:s Abdoun, who, as he marched to where the knife was raised high in the ait, sang in French, in a cheery tone an«’ with a loud volce, to the stirring melody of an old caravan song, “Nous sommes tous mortels,” (We are all mortal)

Last of all, Areski, the master, whose hands were stained with the blood of hundreds, was led forward, and a tre- mor ran through the immense crowd of natives behind the impassive cavalry- men when they saw that the chieftain was dying Hke a savage. It was all his guards could do to hold him in leash. He kicked and spit and bit, and swerv- ed his lithe, long body in a vain at- tempt not to get away, for that was impossible, but to delay the moment when that fatal, blood-stained ‘“Wid- ow’s kiss” should be his.

But Diebler was not to be delayed. Not for an instant did Areski’s strug- gles arrest the clockwork action. All he had time for as he was hurried across the gleaming white sand was to shout these sentenc:s from the Koran: “But the infidels will not cease to doubt concerning it until the hour of judg- ment cometh suddenly upon them.” “Say I fly for refuge unto the Lord of the daybreak, that He may deliver me from the mischief of those things whi h He hath created, and from the mischief of the night when it cometh on.”

And so the knife feiJ, closing the se- ries of tragedi s the Algernian bandits had caused for three years. It had taken $00 French and naiive t.ioops to drive them from their mountuin fasi- nesses and exicrminate the band, Of the forty that Areski headed, twenty- tour were killed in th® woodland con- flicts. ‘The others were carried beior- the Algerian Court of Assize to be con- demncd. Four only were pardoned,

The Faculty of Medicine of Algeria claimed the bod‘es and permission was granted. But the Kablye women hal taken possession of them, had carried them under a great tree and were sew- ing on the heads to the trunks. ‘The doctors started back at this spectacle, and wondered what it meant, th s> savage mountain women, two kneeling at the side of a corpse and performing this ghastly task. Then the doctors re- called an old Mahometan tradition that Azrael, the Angel of Death, carrics of the dead to Paradise by the hair of their heads, grasping that long tuft of hair that every true Mussulman lets grow on the summit of his cranium, and which he calis the “Mahomet.”

Six years ago Areski, till then known only as a tribesman of little import- ance in the Algerian uplands, stole another m1in’s wife and cattle, first kili- ing the husband. The latter’s rela- tives appealed to the French authori- ties. The murder d was made prison- er, and, after a fair trial, was sentenced to penal servitude for life in the mias- mie regions of French Guinea. Ins d= of a year he escaped. He worked his way back to Algeria, d tera ineJ, in ac- cordance with ancient custom, to kil every m&n who had testitied agains: him and all of that man’s relatives.

A traveling Erglshican had been met on the road by brigands, and his watch, valuables and baggage stolen.

The French officials were totally at sea. He wrote to Aressi. It was curious that while Areski could never be found by the authorities, a letter addressed “Areski, Bandit, Algeria.” would al- ways reach him. In this case, a week aft r the lott r was sent, a messerg°r arrived at the Englisnman’s quarters, left some packages and disappeared like a ghost.

LONDOW'S PEOPLE,

Statistics as te the Population of the World's Greatest City.

The London county council has just insued a big volume full of interesting statistics. It appears that of the resi- dence population only 65 per cent wer? born in London, and of born Londoners living in England 77 per cent still live in London and 23 per cent in the rest of the country. The southeastern coun ties, the south midland, the eastern and southwestern are the only districts that contribute (severally) more than 3 per cent of the population. The total fore- ign percentage is no more than 2.26, It is noteworthy that, while the nativ> population has inereased in the last thirty years from 84 to 77 per cent, the proportion of London Scottish has re- mained stationary, the Irish having de- creased considerably, and the foreign- ers. chiefly Poles and Russians, have increased. The aciual tetal populatfon ef registration London at tie last cen- sus was 4,211,743. This total falis short of the total «s calculated on the basts ef the known decennial in¢ and it is estimated that 238.294 persons have
