A dispatch from st. Petersburg says
The officials Of the Russian war Office
are looking blue over the reports made
by q secret agent who had been sent to
~Aighnnistan to sound the Ameer as to
his attitude in the event OF war with
England. According to these reports,
the confidential relations which Russia
seemed to have established with the
Ameer last summer have given way,
first to II feeling of distrust, and now to
a spirit Of open hostility. This change
in the Ameer's attitude is said to have
been caused by the influence and intri-
CUES of Lord Dnfferin. The barometer
OF public opinion steadily points towards
peace, but the attitude of the Indian
officials is still strongly warlike. The
interviews between the Ameer OF Afghan
istan and Lord Dufferin are eagerly
watched. There is danger, in LoId
Dufferin's opinion. that the Ameer's
territorial greed may result in q scheme
which will pAralyze the Home Govern
ment and destroy peace chances.

A FAMINE.
Whole Families in West Virginia on
the Verge of Starvation

PABKERsBuRe, w, VA, June S.
The situation In jackson county Is be-
coming quite serious. Hundreds OF
families are on the verge OF starvation
and unless aid is speedily extended by
the remainder Of the state or the out
side world most disastrous results may
be expected. Much alarm prevails.
Public MEETINGS are being held In all
the villages and local papers are print.
ing appeals for aid.
Hiram Cobb, the owner Of mill,
said the people would come at the rate
OF dozen a day begging for pint
or a quart of meal, ana sometimes
bringing half peck OF grain or few
ears of corn to be ground. He knew
of men who had gone for five days
without food, and he himself would
soon be sufferer.
j. II. Garrett said his neighbors were
actually starving.
John Smith, county assessor, said
that to his knowledge 800 families were
in'danger Of starving.
AT New Kentuck an appeal for aid
was signed by the representatives OF
100 families. The members OF one
family are said to have subsisted for
five days on lettuce, and when found
they were nearly dead.

common interest. NJ. l.. Durham. the

Cheek, in the prime of womanhood,
after having buried their two children
previous TO the death Of her
husband, has closed nearly
the last page OF the lliie
history of the family of NJ. L.. Dur.

A Match Game of Base Ball-A Picnic
at 0villa,

MIDLOTHIAN, TEX, June S.-The
auXlously looked-for match game Of
base ball has come of between the
Midlothian Red Stockings" and the
"Climax" club OF Waxshachie, result
ing in favor of the Wsxahachie boys
by a score of Al to Is. Our boys are
not 30 jubilant over their defeat but
express determination to play them
again in the near future. Our
club has as fine material
as can be found in the state, and we
think If the boys will practice con-
stantly something they have not
done they can easily beat the gay
youth of the "Cow Creek" town. The
game was a fair one in every particu-
lar, and no exceptions could be taken
at the fair and impartial manner in
which the mutually chosen umpire,
Mr.. Lon II. Parks of Waxahachie, ex :
ecuted the rules of the game. The
game was played at Ovilla, having
been invited there by the local club OF
that town.
Saturday was "big" day at Ovills,
it being the day of their annual pic.

one, and every one seemed to be boun'
tifully supplied. During the day
Prof. @. N. 0usley of tn,

Ousley is quite young, a graduate o
