The Case of the Child Actress.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-The case Of Mabel
Leonard, the child actress, came up today be-
fore Judge Donahoe, in the Supreme Court, and
was adjourned for three DAYS on account of the
absence of the counsel. In the meantime the
child was sent to the Episcopal House of Mer-
cy, and her mother was committed to the care
Of the sheriff of Kings county, in order that
she might settle up her affairs in Brooklyn.
Both Mabel and her mother complain of the
unwarranlable and extra oficious informed
ding of the sc-called society for preventing
cruelty to Children the only effect of which
appears to be to keep the mother and father in
jail, and the child alternating between forced
Incarceration in some alleged charitable insti-
tuition, the courts and the stage. They simply
beg to be let alone in order that Mabel (who is
IA years old) may be allowed to earn her living
as she desires.

Favorable Reports from the Famine Dis

LONDON, Oct 1.-The Times Calcutta de.
spatch says that the famine.r eport from Madras
is still very favorable. There has been good
rainfall throughout the presidency, agricultural
operations are active and the summer crops
nearly harvested. The yield in the southern
districts is fair. In the north small prices how
ever have not yet fallen appreciably. The
number on the relief works has decreased e.,
S39 during the week ending Sept. %, but the
number seeking gratuitous relief has increas
10000. Reports from Bombay are also IA
vorable, but rain is still wanted. The reports
are bad from Scinde, central India, Rajputana
and Pupjaub.
10000 Starved to Death.
The Times Madras correspondent says that
the registered deaths the present year, to the
end of June are $4,000 above the average.
This is according to the opinion of the district
officers. 1t does not represent more than two
thirds OF the actual mortality, and we have fur
Their to add the deaths which have occurred
since, and which are not officially reported Not
less than 100000 persons have fallen victims,
and even these figures will probably be in
creased when the famine and its af.erwave of
suffering have finally passed.

end of the track. where large body of strikers
had congregated, many on horseback, headed
by VIM. Hartman. The posse was met by
