Caste and Starvation in India.

New York Times.
The collector of CANAAN, the famine
stricken district in India, in recent re-
port, summarized by the London Times,
states that the caste difficulty has been
constantly recurring in regard to the re-
lief kitchens AT Surada PanoS chill
dren were found starving, the parents
refusing to take them to the kitchen,
while Bouris. who were formerly
brought there, deserted when they got
the opportunity. He thinks the legisla-
ture must step III and make it q punish
able offense for parents to allow their
children to starve when food is to be
had with every regard to caste preju-
diceS at the government kitchens. As
it IS, force had to be used to bring them
successful. Threats and persuaSionS
alike failed, and it was only by cOmpul-
sion that the BouriS were brought into
the kitchen.
The same tactics had to be pursued at
every kitchen visited by the collector,
and the. consequence was that in some
instances, notably at Surada, the viii
lagos were deserted on hearing of his
approach. IL cannot but repeat what
have already Stated-that the people
would have died rather than have vol
unfairly come to the kitchens. Not
until it is made a penal OffpnSe for
man to threaten loss of caste for feeding
at a government kitchen or for parent
to allow his children to starve when
within reasonable distance of such
kitchen will the difficulty be got over.
When some inhuman parent has suf-
fered the extreme penalty of the law
for killing his child by starvation. in
lieu of taking him to the kitchen, we
shall hear no more of the so-termed
caste objections on the part of the
Bouris, Panos, Dandasis, and so on"

What the Workhouse Has Accom-
plished the Past Year.
The seventh annual report of the
board of workhOuse commissioners was
presented to M ayor Smith last evening,
accompanied by the report of the super
intendent of the institution and the
physician. The board recites that water
works have been put in during the year
and protection secured against fire.
The board thinks the wOrkhouSe
is an institution of which all citizens
should feel proud, and invites inSpec-
ton from all. Under direction of the
park commission, large amount of
work has been accomplished in clearing
Como park tract, placing to the labor
account credit $500 days, or at 81 cents
a day, S7.696. The labor depart
ment is also credited with 81, aga for
work performed i'll the knitting shop.
The collections during the year
were 50. 1860. The discipline has
been good. The sales from manufacJ-
ured goods was S9,667.70. The results
from the farming was only ST16.99,
owing 10 the cheap market price of
produce. The number of prisoners
during the year was 59,044, a daily aver
age of 1916. The cost of feeding all EN-
ployeS and prisoners is 9.S2 cents per day
and 65.24 cents per week. The total cost
of maintenance, including every item OF
expenditure, was so, 1924. The nun

senator Evarts on the Street.

New York Sun.
William NJ. Evarts saunters through
Fourteenth street to his Second avenue
home almost Il known to the busy rush
of business people, card-sharps, museum
tOutS, theatrical agents and actors, who
make up the curiouSly diversified popu-
lation of this thOroughfare. The cour-
tesy of the senator was noticed by the
writer yesterday as he was walking q
few steps behind the senator in the
same direction. Whenever one of the
numerous shop-girls bumped into him
MIR. EvartS bowed cOurteously and
touched his hat. The girl went bump
ing merriIy on her way without any
more recognition from pedestrians. So,
too. on the corner of Third avenue
group of loungers SO impeded the way
that for a moment Mr.. Evarts was
pucketed against railway pillar, and
he was obliged to push a stalwart young
fellow slightly one side so as to make
his way through the crowd. As he did
so the senator again touched the rim
of his hat Then rather surprising
thing happened, considering that the
crowd was Third avenue one. The
group parted on either side and nearly
all of the men raised their hats defer
entially to Mr.. Eyarts as he pushed his
way through. They recognized him,
bnt to the rest of the Fourteenth street
crowd New YOrk's senior senator was a
stranger.

will be an event in this city. The
management of the Newmarket and
Miss Morris have combined to give the
new Sten0graphers Business associa-
ton helping hand in the form of a

seats it is expected that the theatrr will
not be able to accommodate the large
audience. His eXcelleney Gov Merriam

Z. II. Sothern's representation of the
impecunious nobleman, Lord ChumleJ =,
which will be seen at the Newmarket
theater Monday evening, has settled in
the minds of New York critics the cues
ton of the abilities of the younger Suth-
ern. The character is one somewhat
eimilar TO those the elder Sothern made
his reputation in, but is played so dis

more warmth and depth of feeling that
his talent as an actor must be admitted.

Judging quality of Broadoloth.


Clothier and Furnisher.
To judge the quality of broadeloth
particular attention must be paid to the
fineness of the fiber and the closeness of
the texture. according toan experienced
authority. If. on passing the hand
lightly in direction contrary to the
nap there be general sickness of feel,
uninterrupted by harsh rOughnesS.
these are grounds for concluding the
cloth is made of fine wool. The texture
should not only be composed of fine
threads, but it should have an even con-
sisteney produced by the operation Of
telling, by which the tibers of the wool
are SO Incorporated that they conceal
the tissue of the threads and give the
entile web the appearance of felts,
or, to use familiar COM
parison, a piece of cloth made
of fine wool and we'll wrought and
finished should exhibit no more indiea-
ton of the loom than sheet of woven
paper does of the apparatus employed
in its fabrication. Dealers judge of its
quality by an eXpedient which is more
easily understood by observation than
description. A portion of the cloth is
taken up loosely with both hands; fold
of it being then pressed strongly be-
tween the thumb and foretiuger of one
hand, sudden pull IS given with the
other. and according to the peculiar
sharpness and vibrating clearness of the
sound produced y the slipping or eS-
cape Of the fold the goodness of the
cloth is judged. Another way is the
comparison of various lines of different
fabrics and of different prices: the soft,
even consistency. together with the
tieXlbility of fine br0adclOth, will be
rendered more evident on beng con-
trasled with that of an inferior cloth.

THE WEST SIDE LEyEE
And Better Mail Service Dis
Cussed by the Citizens Union,

cussed by the Citizens Union,
If the whole city were imbued with
the enthusiasm displayed by the few
persons who attended the West Side
Citizens union meeting last evening, it
would not only be possible to build the
levee, but a number of other enter
prises would spring up. The prop
osition to appoint O special COM
mittee to take the place of the old
one for the purpose of improving the
leyee precipitated lively discussion as
to where the work of construction
should begin. 1t was claimed that an
effort was being made by some people
to expend the proposed $4,000, author
lied by the legislature to be raised by
bonds, upon the lower part of the flats.
Others wanted the work to commence
at the sawmill near the high bridge,
and insisted there were funds enough
to. construct a levee sixty feet
wide from there to Annapolis street.
wide would make it necessary to I'M
dermine lots and land belonging to pri-
yate individuals and was not thought
advisable, because too expensive. The
street could be used for tWo-thirdS of
the way and that would avoid condem-
nation. MIR. Wedge, who was appointed
by the legislature as one of the levee
commissioners, was present and stated
that the common council had not au-
thorized the issuing of the bonds nor
the $500 recommended to defray the
expense of surveying and estimating the
cost and preparing plans for the levee.
He thought action should be taken soon
so that the commissioners would be able
to report pr0gr6SS to the next legisla-
ture. The committee to look after the
matter of urging the matter upon coun-
Gil consists Of MeSsrs. Lawton, AnStett
and SomerS.
A. NJ. Lawton, p. DAILY and J. Anstett
were appointed to investigate the feaS-
Utility of providing against the over
cruwding of Garfield school.
MIR. Anstett complained of lack of
mail service in the lower part of the
ward; MeSSrS. Winehtll and Fulton
were appointed as a committee to wait
on the postmaster with view of Secur-
ing the extension of the mail service.
The committees on local in lustries re-
ported that they had conferred with the
chamber of commerce and the industrial
union, and that the Sixth ward had a
fair prospect of securing its share of
new industries.
The water supply committee asked
for more time.
The next meeting of the union will be
held in two weeks.
