STARVING FISHERMEN.
Distressin; Condition of the LIN.
habitantS of Labrador.
Hundreds Perishing in the Far North
for Want of Food.

Further particulars of the distress among
the fishermen of Labrador have been re-
ceved The seventy Es Iuimaux who de-
manded food from the stores at Mugford,
which could not be given them owing to
the needs of the inhabitants and the small
supply, made a rush for the har-
Dor storehouse, where the flour and fish
were stored. The men Of the small settle
ment gathered to defend their only hope OF
existence, and desperate fight ensued, IN
which four of the marauding ESlulmauI
were nearly killed aud two of the store
house defenders were seriously Injured:
The EsIuimaux, finding that they could
and sent in several of their number
to ask for a small quantity of food,
which they said was absolutely necessary to
the continued existence of ther wives and
children Two hundred pounds of flour and
about fifty pounds of frozen cod were given
them 1t was reported that in Astoria alone,
out of thirty-five or forty families, or total
of POO parsons, more than I0o, mostly women
and children, hal died.
In Main the catch of fish has not been sniff
cient to afford food to the inhabitants. The
season which opened on May was very back

try, which was tolerably good, not soul
would be living. Along Hamilton Inlet and
Sandwich Bay there IS not SO lnu n suffering.
although many have diei. In Webuck and
Indian harbols fish is the only food besides
small quantity of corn meal. The inhabi-
tants have had no vegetables since March ],
aud are almost without clothing. At Hope
dale not more than twenty five families re-
main out of the entire former pop.
uation. Many have gone east along
tine coast in the hope of getting
into better supplied settlements, while eighty
persons, of which f,rty were squaws and
thirty-tivc children, died from starvation in
June alone. There were some deaths in
April and May, bat the were principally
from exposure to the cold.
The OkkaL indians are suffering greatly.
There were not as many deaths among them
having died this spring out of the l25 who
made up the tribe The whole settlement
is. however. on the verge of starvation.
In the country bail from Okkah, II Jpe-
dale, Main and Cape Mugsord there are
large number of families, most Of them In
dians or Esquimaux, among whom the suf-
fering is really greater than it is in the more
thickly populated settlement. The deaths
here from starvation canuot be estimated,
but it is thought, judging from the reports
now and then brought in, that the number is
very large.
In Newfoundland, along the north coast
to Hearts Content handreds are in a
dying condition In White Bay alone
forty two persons died last month";
and no one knows how many
since. Not less than 1,5C0 persons must have
pcrishei, but the exact figures can never be
known, owing to the isolat ID region in which
the suffering exists.

chronicle that comes from a long dis
tauce without an affidavit. This chron-
icle asserts that the African traveller, DR..
Giovanni Succi, who is at present in his
native town, Forli, claims to have dis
covered aliquor which renders the human
body independent of food and drink. In
order to provo his assertion he placed
himself under a medical committee, who
we're to see that he took no nourishmcnt
for ten days, after having drunk few
glasses of his liquor. At the end of that
time the physicians pronounced his
pulse perfectly normal, and in order to
show that his strength had not suffered
Succi, before breaking his fast, walked
from Forlit to Forlimpopoli, distance OF
four miles, in forty-even minutes.

The Boston Herald says the boarding
house women of Washington are num-
bcred by thousands. There are two
classes of these. The first merely rent
rooms, and the second give board as
we'll. It's a great business at Washing
ton for women to take large houses, pay
ing from S75 to $500 per month for them,
and then to su5let the rooms to single
gentlemen or to families, as the case may
be. They receive, as a rule, as much for
Their ground floor rooms as they pay for
the whole house, and there have been in
stances in which women have made
themselves independent by room-renting.
One hundred dollars and more is not an
uncommon rent there for Il couple of
furnished room in good location, and
$50 to SIS are often gotten for two
rooms on the second floor. A good
third floor front room will bring $25, and
a house that rents for $1OO a month, un-
furnished, will often bring in 5000 or
$3.50 if furnished and sublet, beside Civ
ing room for the landlady. A number
of landladies make money there keeping
boarding-houses, and the one who enter
tanned w. D. Howells during his last So
iourn in Washington has been able to
buy the house in which she lives, which
is worth about $40, 900, and is now start
ing a new hotel near the Treasury.

Four years ago number of shrewd west.
crn capitalists sent their agents down
there to examine the southern pine, to
see what kind of lumber it would make,
and the quality of the woodlands. These
agents made thorough examination at
a minimum cost and sent back the most
favorable reports, urging the firms they
represented to make purchases. The re-
suit has been that up to July !, 1886,

The difficulty of preventing the escape
of criminals has at all times grievcd the
friends of justice, but the most radical
solution of the problem has probably
been devised in Gazi, seaport town

correspondent the municipal authorities,
who enjoy loial autonomy, have for
years saved the expense of burglar-proof
