IN GREAT DESTITUTION
Sad Story or British Oppression m
Ireland and ZuiuIand.

sad story OF distress from poverty
and the harsh enforcement OF the law
comes from the Irish coast. The fish
ing season has been bad, and many OF
the dwellers on Basket island, OF the
Kerry coast, were unable 10 pay their
rent at the appointed day. A gun
boat thereupon landed the sheriff
thirty bailifls and 100 police on the
island, and the posse seized the boats
OF the unfortunate fishermen. As the
gunboat departed with the only means
OF livelihood OF the half-starved popu-
lation the scene was II heart rending
one. The despairing fathers and hus-
bands gazed gloomily nj the receding
vessel, while the children and women
folk walled and cried aloud In their
anguish. An eyewitness says that
the people are absolutely destitute and
many must perish unless relief Is sent.
terrible starvation is represented as
existing under British rule in Zulu
land. The natives are perishing With
hunger in land which ought TO be
productive, and the scant aid given By
the British government in the way OF
rations hat afforded but slight relief.
The once powerful nation OF Iulus is
now a mere wreck and colonial enter
prise has not made sufficient Roadway
TO efface the devastation.

expressed the pleasure she felt at the
prospect Of so pleasant journey.
Both ladies occupied the same room.
Shortly after midnight Miss Walker
was startled oy shrieks: ..Lou, must
end this misery" Before the half
awakened girl could realize the mean
ing of the words, the report Of a pistol
shot was heard and Miss Hartman
fell corpse, the shot piercing her
heart. Visions Of hydrophobia had
haunted her day and night. Miss
Hartman was twenty-three years old.

favorable for farm work In New York,

Pacific coast, the weather was very
favorable for harvesting in Oregon

injury to fruit resulted from hot dry
winds. Otherwise the weather was
favorable for harvesting and fruit
