Gle Van tonight was the response of

ton of a colored man named Nora St.
Roma, whose home in the the vicinity of

through severe attack of pneumonia. He
had not fully recovered before his wife
g sickened and died This sickness and sor-
I, row, ii is thought, wrecked his mind. He
, was quite IN intelligent man before his ills

Of Szegedn, in Hungary, by an extraordin-

charred ruins, o. all the foreign countries in

when this is known our people will, we are
sure, respond as they can to the appeal for
help that now reaches US from the ruins of
Szcgedin. In this expectation a committee
OF well known and responsible citizens
will wait upon our people, soon and afford

head the movement furnish all the guaran.
