BY that time many executions had taken
place. Between noon and 0 O'Clock thirty
five persons had lost their heads, their
corpses being Jumped together inside the
centre gate Of the Che-fu's yamcn. The
gushing blood made a noise that could be
heard. Then the heads were stuck up
over the city gates as a warning to the
people. In the evening the carcasses were
carried outside the East Gate, Wang Sheng
being among the persons executed.

prisoners, who were sent to the Che

The Pitiful Story Told by Starving Ire
land.
BosroN, January 2l.-A special dispatch
to the Herald from Dublin says: II have
just returned from the famine district Of
County Donegal, where more than 5000
people are in starving condition, exist
ing from day to day on the meagre relief
afforded by scattering charity. The whole
North OF Ireland is in most wretched
condition.
"The same nature OF things exists to q
large extent in the West, but the destitu-
ton is not, as rule, 30 complete as in the
places which have just come from. In
many cabins which l entered during the
past five days the sole articles Of consump-
tion were limited to a quantity OF Indian
meal and slight portion oil seaweed. In
most OF the villages whole families exist in
this manner.
"In the north and west coasts where the
soil is either mostly composed Of rocks or
mud, special destitution prevails this seas.
on, owing to the complete destruction OF
the grain crops in September by terrible
tornado, and the rotting Of the entire po.
tato crop, owing to the constant rain. The
worst cases Of famine ever saw in the
parishes Of Killeybegs and Glencolun. In
the latter parish Rev. Father Gallagher
was working with u superhuman energy to
save the people from death.
"Isaw him in driving rain, In mud mp
to his ankles, experimenting gang o.
men who were digging bitches, to be paid
for from the funds sent in charity"
