THE FAMINE IN EGYPT.

An occasional correspondent
of the London Daily News, who
has just been up the Nile inquir-
ing into the state Of the villages
personally, without a dragoman,
writes from Cairo:
1t is an unpleasant truth, but
an undeniabIe one, that thepeo-
pie have been and still are starV-
ing by hundreds on the Nile,
from no other reason than that
they have been unable, under
theig crushing taxation, to save
money Or stores against the fail
ure of their crops; and the imme-
diate result is naturally a fam
inc. So long have the fellahs
now been accustomed to work
for the tax gatherer instead Of
themselves, that no man ever
thinks Of making more than his
wants from day to day.
From Slut to the cataracts
there is scarcely a village or
town which cannot count its
dead by tifties, some by hun
dreds. AT each Of the larger
towns along the banks the fel-
lahs from the inland villages
have crowded in, sought for re-
lief or for work, have found none,
and have lain down and starved.
The sight Of these poor wretches
was sickening. Their condition
is only comparable to that Of
the natives in the last Indian
famine. With shrunken skin
and staring bones, they resem
bic the mummies Of their land
more than fellow-creatures. In
the open market places they lie
PROSTATE in the sun, covered
with flies, half or wholly naked,
till death puts an end to their
sufferings. AS long as they
have strength, they fight like
wild beasts over the smallest
morsel of food, and when they
are past this they die, with less
attention paid them than if they
We're street dogs.
At Belyaneb, Bagoor Hau, and
such towns, the people have been
and are starving in utter neg
lect. Sitting in the fields and

All along life's checkered pathway,
With its ftful light and shade,
AS we watch the morning brightness
And the MONDAY sunshine fade;
While the days grow dark-darker,
And wild storm-clouds fill the sky,
From the stricken heart arises
Evermore the question, "Why"
Where the buds of hope have per-
lshed
That we thought would bloom al
And the idols we have cherished
Prove themselves but common clay,
Looking at the sombre real,
With our voiceless lips and eye,
Thinking Of the bright ideal,
The grieved spirit questions, Why!
Why is life so full of crosses,
Through the slowly circling years,
That the memory of its losses
Makes the past vale Of tears!
Standing mid the crumbling ruins
That we dreamed would change
defy,
Hoping naugbt this side Of heaven,
YEARLY we wonder, Why?
When we pass beyond the river,
Will such Questionings be Ger,
And regrets be lost forever,
On the joyful other shore!
Shall we know some blessed reason
Why our earthly hopes must die,
And rejoice because our Father,
Ever merciful, knew Why?

10 the Editor OF the Star:
In your issue of September sth and 9th
you say, regarding the Linwood school
troubles, 'John Langdon did not obtain a
fair show" The truth is that Langdon ad-
mits he was elected by an illegal vote. The
af1davits Of the citizens show that since
April last John Langdon has occupied a
position which man Of less presumption
would have hastened to vacate, or at least
shown desire to have had his election in
vestigated; but on the contrary, both he
and his friends have studiously attempted
to thwart every effort in that direction,
from Consciousness that time will right
the trouble, and also from desire to abstain
from stirring up animosities which the agi-
tation Of the matter will produce. No
notice was taken of your first article, but
upon reading the second one | deem the
above but a proper reply, and will produce
the evidence if your readers desire it.

OBITUARY,
Death of Mr.. John Shillito.

The death of Mr.. John Shillito which
occurred at six o'clock last evening at his
residence, on Mount Auburn, will be sur
prise to every one, although Mr.. Shillito
had been unwell for some time. His dis
ease is traced back to a severe cold taken
four years ago while in bathing with some
children at Newport. This cold terminated
in disease called dialation of the bron-
chial tubes, and the immediate cause of his
death was the bursting of the aorta while
talking with his son Wallace, who had just
returned from New York.
Mr.. Shillito was born in Greensburg,
Westmoreland County, Pa, November "a,
1908. At the age of nine years he came to
Cincinnati, and without the advantage of
influential friends or relatives, began life
for himself. He went into the dry goods
store of Blatchley & Simpson. His career
as clerk was model for all who hope to
succeed in business. He devoted himself
to his employers interests, and his eff,rts
were appreciated. After twenty years of
apprenticeship he went into business as a
proprietor with Robert Burnet and James
Pullan as partners The store was on
Fourth street, opposite Hammond, where
the new shoe manufactory of Stribley & Co.
now stands. After Pullan and Burnet re-
tired, VIM. Woods, now of Chatfield &
Woods, became partner. In 1857 he bust
ness had grown so that new building was
erected on Fourth street west of Vine. In
1860 Mr.. VIM. Woods retired, and the bust
ness has since been in the hands of John
Shillito & Sons. In 1877 he began the erec
ton of the present palatial house on Sew
enth and Race streets.
